Chapter 53 Division Commander Lieutenant General Fujita’s views on the Sichuan Army
Just after Major General Riichiro Katayama, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, asked the intelligence department to pay attention and collect all the details about the 20th Sichuan Army,
The headquarters of the Japanese Third Division,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Toshio, are also receiving all useful battle reports from the Songhu front and doing summary questions.
"Yo Xi! The current battle situation is still very good for our imperial army, but the Chen Jiaxing that we just captured has encountered some problems!"
"The telegram sent back from the 5th Brigade, I heard that after the elite troops of the China Army were defeated by our troops, they were all defended by the local China Army!"
"The local Chinese army taking over the defense is the Sichuan army, and it has also won two victories at Dunwu Temple. It is now in the Chenjiahang area and is fighting with the 6th Infantry Regiment under the jurisdiction of our 5th Infantry Brigade.
Let’s fight!”
"Originally, the battle went smoothly, but now our Sixth Infantry Regiment is being beaten fiercely by this new local Chinese army!"
"We may also need to send support troops to support them in the battle!"
"What do you think? Your Excellency, division commander!"
"A local unit of the China Army can actually fight against an elite infantry regiment of ours. Such a thing has never happened before since the war began! Even the most elite German weapons division disclosed by the China Army, and the central
Even the army does not have this ability, and the strength of a division can defeat our elite regiment!"
"And we are still winning!"
When Chief of Staff Colonel Toshio Tian read the contents of the latest telegram sent by the 5th Infantry Brigade, he was in a rather strange mood and stared at the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita.
"Yeah! I also saw the report on this new battle situation!"
"As for the information on the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, let our intelligence reporting department collect all the information as soon as possible. Whether it is the information on their commanders or the officers of each unit, I want the most detailed information, including their
Character and strengths, as well as weaknesses!”
"Being able to do things that even the elite troops of the China Army can't do proves that this is not a simple local army!"
"So we should pay close attention to them. We must know ourselves and our enemies so that we can win every battle!"
In response to the questions asked by Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio, the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita responded very seriously.
"Then do you think our Sixth Infantry Regiment will be defeated by them?"
"Chen's family will not be taken back by such an unknown local Chinese army!"
"You have to know that in order to seize the Chen Jiaxing, our imperial army also sacrificed a lot of the lives of the imperial warriors to successfully seize it. Now if we just lose it, I'm afraid it won't be good!"
"So I feel like it would be safer for us to send more troops to assist and support them?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
Seeing the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Toshio, listening to him carefully, he remained silent for a moment before continuing to ask.
"It doesn't matter whether our Sixth Infantry Regiment is defeated or defeated!"
"The Chinese army has no way of occupying this place forever, because our imperial army has more and more reinforcements, and they are all elite imperial troops, so they are simply unable to withstand our hundreds of thousands of troops.
Fighting back!"
"The final victory in the Battle of Songhu will definitely belong to our imperial army. Even if they are defeated by a motley crew of China forces, one or two local battles will be of no avail!"
"So I don't care about Chen Jiaxing's temporary gains and losses!"
"Because I am still very confident in the troops under my command. Even if our Sixth Regiment is defeated by the Sichuan Army and China Army, I believe that their casualties will definitely be huge!"
"To defeat the elite troops of one of our regiments, it is not possible for a brigade of their local China Army to do it!"
"Even with the strength of a local China division, it may not be able to do it!"
"Generally speaking, it takes several elite China divisions to encircle and suppress the strength of one of our elite regiments!"
"So my opinion is that they may have a chance to defeat our 6th Infantry Regiment, but they are not capable of annihilating our entire regiment!"
"And it was in these places that the Chinese army had to pay a heavy price of casualties before they could defeat our regiment!"
"So my focus now is not today's battle in Chenjiaxing. Will the Sichuan Army and the China Army win? Or will our Sixth Infantry Regiment win the final victory?"
"But I want to get all the information about this Sichuan Army's 20th Army! The sooner the better, I want to severely damage this courageous local Chinese Army!"
"I want them to know what the combat effectiveness of our Third Division is like, and if they want to challenge our Third Division's defense, then they also need to be prepared to be annihilated by us!"
"At the very least, be prepared to be seriously injured and disabled!"
"I, Fujita Susumu, am not easily bullied!"
After Chief of Staff Toshio Colonel Toshio's question came to an end again, the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita also responded confidently. "Yoxi! My thoughts are similar to those of the division commander!"
"In that case, I will convey your thoughts and orders to the Sixth Infantry Regiment!"
"I will make sure that Matsuyama Yoshimasa properly commands his Sixth Infantry Regiment to carry out counterattacks. No matter whether we win or lose, we must not lose the face of our Third Division!"
After seeing the confident expression of the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, who believed that he would be the final winner, the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio, also showed the same confident smile and responded.
At this moment, the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Tian, also felt that he had just been too impatient.
The big goal of the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, who wanted to severely damage the entire 20th Sichuan Army, was completely different.
Because he was just thinking about how to enable the 6th Infantry Regiment to withstand the desperate counterattack of a brigade or a division of the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army.
There is no overall perspective at all,
So when he regained his confidence, he also felt that his strategic vision needed to be greatly improved.
And it also requires a bigger appetite,
Don't just aim at annihilating a few enemy troops, but directly eat up their entire army. That would be really powerful.
So at this moment, he took a high look at the confidence, ambition, and goals of the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and he also took it as an example for him to learn from in his career path forward.
