Chapter 285 The shock of the officers of the 79th Division
The headquarters of the 11th Division.
"The intelligence agency has found out. Which Chinese army was responsible for annihilating the second brigade of the 44th Regiment this time?"
"Is it the China 79th Division?"
After the division commander, Lieutenant General Shanbao Zongwu, and the chief of staff, Katamura Forty-eight Colonel, and other Japanese high-level officials, held a combat meeting,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Shanbao Munewu, also had a stern look in his eyes and asked the operational staff officer Yoshishima.
"Hai! No detailed intelligence report has come back yet!"
"However, according to the reports from the frontline reconnaissance troops and the reports from the 44th Regiment, I am afraid that it was not the troops of the 79th China Division who did it, because this China Army lacks artillery and heavy firepower weapons and equipment.
They don’t have the fighting strength to annihilate an elite brigade of our troops!”
"Furthermore, the second battalion of the Imperial Army at that time was still encircling and suppressing the troops of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 79th China Division, so it can be inferred that other elite Chinese troops did it, and it was possible that it was also
It will be more than one army dispatched!"
"With the defeat of the China Army on the battlefield, the China Army's heavy firepower weapons, equipment, and ammunition supply can no longer keep up, and there is not much left! So now it is possible to use so many artillery units
The China Army will never be an independent ordinary army!"
"Even a division of troops will not have such a powerful artillery group to support operations!"
The combat staff officer Yoshijima, who was stared at by the terrifying gaze of the division commander Lieutenant General Sambo Munetake, was immediately covered in cold sweat and hurriedly reported the matter.
"Hey! Their analysis is still correct, but when did so many Chinese troops appear on the front where the 44th Regiment is located?"
"If a Chinese army unit really appears, I'm afraid I already know their actions, and their fighting speed is not that fast!"
"Also, will the China Army dispatch an army unit to encircle and suppress our infantry brigade at this time?"
"Now that these defeated Chinese troops are so frightened, they wish they could immediately evacuate all their elite troops from our encirclement! How dare they fight to the end like this?"
"Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by our imperial army?"
"Even if there are officers of the China Army who are willing to fight to the end, I don't think their General Marshal will necessarily approve them to fight to the end! Otherwise, once these elite members of the China Army are handed over to the Imperial Army for encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that China
The army will be completely destroyed, and then the entire country of China will belong to our imperial army!"
After hearing this, the division commander, Lieutenant General Shan Baozongwu, was dismissive and retorted.
For him, he did not take into account the combat effectiveness and fighting determination of the national army that was currently in defeat, so he said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Hai!"
"Your Majesty the Commander is right!"
Operations Officer Yoshijima quickly agreed.
"Give me the order to immediately increase intelligence collection and reporting. In addition, let the brigade commander Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu lead his troops to encircle and suppress the 79th China Division, and recover the remaining troops of the 44th Regiment to assist the infantry.
The 22nd Brigade will completely annihilate the 79th Division of China within two days, even in China today!"
"The blood of this Chinese army will be used to wash away the shame of our imperial army losing an infantry brigade!"
Lieutenant General Shan Baozongwu, the division commander, finally issued the combat order.
"Hai!"
"Commander's Cabinet!"
Operations staff officer Yoshijima quickly went to the brigade commander, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, to convey the operation order.
Soon, the brigade commander, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, received the order,
And immediately without hesitation, he took his 22nd Brigade and set out to encircle and suppress the troops of the 79th Division of the National Army.
at the same time,
Not long after, the commander of the 44th Infantry Regiment, Itagaki Riguang, received a combat order from the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamabaso Munetake.
So he immediately led his troops to join the 22nd Brigade in the direction.
And at this time,
The headquarters of the National Army’s 79th Division,
Commander Chen, commander of the 29th Army and commander of the 79th Division, is also considering using guerrilla warfare to fight against the Japanese troops who have a heavy firepower advantage.
"I plan to use guerrilla warfare to consume and delay the attack of these Japanese troops, and to encircle and suppress them!"
"What do you think?"
Commander Chen glanced at his headquarters and asked all the officers who had been called to attend the combat meeting.
"I agree! Because there are many front-line defenses in Pinghu Dushan, Huxiao Bridge, and Guangchen Town, where we can engage in street fighting and guerrilla warfare with the Japanese troops. Although we are not very skilled in guerrilla warfare, this is the best
way of fighting!"
"Yes, I have the same combat method. Especially now that we need artillery support but no artillery support, we need flying troops to support, and there are no flying troops to support operations. Even the support of armored troops is not available, so we are faced with having heavy equipment.
For Japanese troops equipped with firepower, weapons and equipment, I think guerrilla warfare and street fighting are still ideal methods of combat!"
"I also agree with these combat methods, but we may also be able to add some ambush operations to catch the Japanese by surprise! But we need to choose a good place and lure the Japanese troops into the ambush circle!"
Following Commander Chen's inquiry, all the national army officers of the 79th Division expressed their opinions one after another.
However, most of them adopted a favorable attitude and accepted Commander Chen's proposal for this battle.
"Yeah! Okay! Then let's decide, we will stick to the fighting time here. The one given above is to stick to it for at least 10 days, so everyone should do their best!"
"Because we have to buy enough time for the main troops to evacuate. We must not let the Japanese army encircle and destroy our main elite troops. Otherwise, our land will be really in danger!"
"Once all the elite main forces and the entire army are destroyed, I am afraid it will have serious consequences for the future war of resistance. In order to avoid the destruction of the country and the family, in order to protect the country!"
"I, Mr. Chen, swear today that even if I die on the battlefield, I will fight to the end to delay the enemy's encirclement and suppression operations!"
"Buy more time for our main army to evacuate from the encirclement!"
"As long as our main elite army is not destroyed, we will still have hope for victory in the Anti-Japanese War!"
After seeing that all the officers under his command agreed with his combat deployment, Commander Chen was also very emotional and gave a pre-war morale boost.
"Kill the devil!"
"Kill the devil!"
"Kill the devil!"
After Commander Chen finished speaking, the officers of the 79th Division of the National Army in the entire headquarters were all boiling with fighting spirit, shouting loudly and echoing.
And as their shouts became louder and their fighting spirit became more intense,
Soon, this combat meeting was ready to end.
At the same time, all officers are also preparing to deploy their troops in guerrilla warfare as soon as possible.
But at this moment,
"Report! Commander!"
"According to the intelligence reported by the surviving troops of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment who evacuated from the southern front line, the second battalion of the Japanese 44th Regiment has been completely wiped out by the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army!"
A messenger came in hurriedly to give a report.
"What!"
Mr. Chen was suddenly surprised and said,
And all the officers around him were also shocked by such a shocking news. They were stunned for a while and did not come back to their senses.
