Chapter 65 Division Commander Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu’s proposal
3rd Division Headquarters,
The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Tian, looked at Chen Jiaxing's latest combat report.
"The 68th Infantry Regiment was also defeated by the local Chinese army!"
"It seems that this Sichuan army is really the bravest one among the local Chinese troops we have ever seen!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, do you think we need to increase our troops to encircle and suppress this local Chinese army?"
"Otherwise, if the fight continues like this, our entire division will be depleted by them!"
After reading the unfavorable battle report on the frontline operations, Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio took the lead in asking.
"What's the status of the 9th Division, the 11th Division, the 13th Division, and the 101st Division?"
In response to the question asked by Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio, the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita thought for a moment and then asked.
"The battle situation on their side is not bad, but the battle situation of the 101st Division is almost the same as ours, and they are encountering some troubles!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Toshio Tian responded truthfully.
"Have you read all the information on the 20th Sichuan Army?"
"Do you have any opinions? How can we annihilate more of them? Or annihilate them all?"
"Since this Sichuan army has killed so many imperial warriors from our third division, if we don't give them some color, I feel like we are not doing well?"
After hearing this, the division commander Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu asked thoughtfully, showing a sly smile.
"Of course, Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
"It is necessary to annihilate this local Chinese army!"
"As for my opinion of them, they have inferior weapons and equipment, but they are brave in combat and even fearless of death!"
"It is also for this reason that they used human life tactics and relied on the combat method of strength in numbers to defeat two large-scale attacks by our troops!"
"The two regiments were defeated for the same reason!"
"So if we want to annihilate such a local Chinese army that is not afraid of death at once, then we can only increase our troops to carry out encirclement and suppression!"
"According to our casualty statistics, although our two regiments were defeated twice in a row by this local Chinese army, their casualties were three to four times, or even five times as many as ours!"
"So as long as we increase our strength and launch a general attack at once, then this seemingly brave Sichuan Army and China Army will be completely defeated by us!"
"It can even be severely damaged or completely wiped out!"
"Although they fight bravely, their inferior weapons and equipment are always their Achilles' heel!"
Faced with the rhetorical question from the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio, expressed his personal thoughts.
"Yo Xi! I have the same idea!"
"Tian Yuanjun!"
After hearing this, the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, also agreed with the suggestion of the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio.
"Thanks!"
"What's your plan?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Toshio Tian continued to ask.
"We will send half of our troops, and then ask for half of the troops from the Ninth Division, and take down the 20th Sichuan Army in one fell swoop!"
"At the very least, it must be severely damaged. In short, the final victory must belong to our imperial army!"
Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the division commander, smiled and replied.
"Hmm! Why do we need troops from the Ninth Division?"
"Why don't we press for the merger and acquisition of the entire division and defeat the 20th Sichuan Army in one fell swoop?"
"This is a great achievement that can be easily achieved! We don't need to share it with other divisions!"
"And is the Ninth Division willing to give half of its troops to support our battle to encircle and suppress the 20th Group of the Sichuan Army?"
Chief of Staff Toshio Tian said in surprise.
"Didn't you just say that this is a great achievement? It is actually a great achievement that is within reach, so why do you think the Ninth Division is unwilling to send troops to cooperate with us to encircle and suppress this Sichuan army with inferior weapons and equipment?
force?"
"And share half the credit?"
"As for why I want to preserve my strength, it's not because the Battle of Songhu is not completely over yet, so our Third Division still has a lot of battles to fight, so if we can preserve a certain amount of strength, we must know how to preserve it.
Got it!"
"Otherwise, if we suffer too much loss, we will be eliminated!"
"The military exploits we can achieve by then will be very limited!"
"And I still need to test the true strength of this new Sichuan Army Group again!"
"This is the first time I have encountered the China Army that was able to defeat the attacks of our two regiments twice in a row by consuming the lives of soldiers, so I must be more cautious!"
"As the division commander, I still need to take the overall situation into consideration to direct operations!"
Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the division commander, spoke frankly about his inner thoughts.
"Yo Xi! Then I understand. Your Excellency, the division commander, is right. I have to learn from you!"
After listening to the sincere response from the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the chief of staff, Toshio Toshio, also felt that what the other party said was right, so he quickly agreed.
"You actually agree with my idea, so I'll leave it to you to ask for military cooperation from the Ninth Division!"
"Tian Yuanjun!"
After seeing Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio agree with his suggestion, the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita continued.
"ah"
After being given the task all at once, Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio was immediately speechless.
"Okay! I'll try my best to find the division commander of the Ninth Division to discuss this matter!"
But in the end he responded bitterly.
"Well! Go ahead!"
"If the other party does not agree, then I will communicate with him personally. Now we have several divisions fighting on the same front, so he cannot refuse my combat proposal!"
"And there is also General Matsui Iwane supervising the battle!"
"If he doesn't even give me face, then I will ask General Matsui Iwane for tactical guidance!"
Looking at the Chief of Staff, Toshio Toshio, who didn't seem very confident, the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, immediately added in a gentle tone.
"Hai!"
"Don't worry! There is no need to trouble His Excellency the Division Commander and His Excellency General Matsui Iwane!"
"I'm the chief of staff of the Third Division, and I have a bit of face!"
"So I believe I can convince the division commander of the Ninth Division to give us troops to encircle and suppress the 20th Group Army of the Sichuan Army together!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
However, in response to Division Commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita's pleasant supplementary promise, Chief of Staff Colonel Toshio suddenly burst out with full confidence and responded.
Seeing this, the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, was very satisfied and nodded slightly in response.
Then he asked the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Tian, to quickly deal with the reinforcements, and he focused his attention and energy on the current Chen Jiaxing battle front again.
