When the second-line position was stable, the retreating Takeda Brigade was also counting its belongings.
The main force of the infantry retreated from the field on both sides one after another, and Takeda Masashi ordered the whole brigade to retreat backwards for safety, and the entire Takeda brigade retreated a mile back after breaking away from the fire range of the second-line position, and then stopped advancing and settled down.
The Takeda Brigade began to treat the wounded, reorganize the ranks, set up tents and marching beds, and in a short time, they could not walk, and these fragments were still picked up early.
Although the Japanese army was defeated by the fierce fire of the teaching brigade and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment of the friendly army, it was not broken, and the Japanese army was basically able to keep the squad structure not chaotic in the process of retreating, and the soldiers ran away, even if there were scattered soldiers, it was only sporadic, and the Japanese army quickly restored the structure, put the troops in order, and the wounded who ran back were gathered together and treated in a unified manner.
The wounded soldiers of the Japanese army leaned on the baggage cart and received medical measures from the sanitary soldiers, and in the battle just now, the Japanese soldiers ran down almost the whole way, which was also well reflected in the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army.
Most of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army were hit by bullets in non-vital parts, or were hit by shrapnel, but they were not fatal, and the most seriously wounded were only half of their jaws cut off by mortar shrapnel.
Hit the leg, the injured were serious, and it was impossible to successfully escape from the crowd in the dark night.
Takeda Masayuki paced in front of the truck, his face gloomy, and the surroundings slowly returned to quiet, and Takeda slammed his fist on the bed of the 94-style truck.
On the side, the adjutant of the brigade also had a gloomy face and a hint of apprehension.
The lieutenant of the brigade was in charge of collecting the infantry at the end of the battle, and now he had just finished counting the casualties and the losses of heavy equipment.
"Your Excellency the Captain" Takeda Masayuki waved his hand: "Say, how many casualties have been killed" The adjutant of the brigade took a step forward and walked to Takeda's side: "Two infantry squadrons were killed, fifty-seven people were missing, eighteen people were wounded, the heavy machine gun squadron and the baggage squadron were killed, twenty-seven people were missing, three Type 93 baggage vehicles were damaged, a batch of ammunition was damaged, one Type 92 heavy machine gun was lost, and the rest of the ammunition consumption was not counted for the time being. ” After hearing this, Takeda Masayuki felt a pain in his heart, the infantry squadron lost fifty-seven people, these fifty-seven people were combat soldiers, so it was a real loss, apportioned, each infantry squadron lost nearly a small team of troops, for Takeda, who was not rich in troops, it was indeed a big loss, the number of combat deaths in the daytime attack on the village was roughly the same, the two battles combined, the loss of more than 100 people, the accumulation of small amounts, brought a significant reduction in combat soldiers.
"Captain, whether to launch a counterattack, do you need to send a telegram to the wing" The brigade adjutant asked tentatively.
Takeda Masayuki shook his head decisively, whether it was a counterattack or a telegram, he didn't want to send it now, needless to say, with his current strength and state, he had just been defeated, and in the dark night, the soldiers were physically exhausted, and they rashly launched a surprise attack, and the chances of victory were not great.
Sending a telegram to the Wing Commander, Takeda Masayuki also disagreed, although the battle was unfavorable, Takeda believed that there was a strong reinforcement led by the Wing Captain himself.
Takeda Masayuki thought that it was better not to send this telegram, after all, there was a brigade of reinforcements behind him, and it was not good to send telegrams of defeat one after another.
This time it was raided, Takeda personally judged that after the vanguard soldiers were killed, no one issued a warning in advance, plus the pursuit was eager, and the reinforcements were urgent, so it failed miserably, and it can be judged that the Chinese army in front was premeditated.
Takeda said: "Let the soldiers rest first, and then prepare for the attack tomorrow morning." ” "Yes" Smelling gunpowder in the air, Takeda looked at the unsightly enemy positions ahead, his troops in pursuit before this surprise attack.
The pursuit process went smoothly, so who are the enemy troops who are being pursued?
In terms of firepower and numbers, the Chinese troops that opened fire on themselves at night were basically the same size as the Chinese troops that were routed in the villages during the day The Chinese troops who raided at night had mortars and heavy machine guns, and were about the same equipment as the enemy troops pursuing during the day.
If it was really the Chinese army that was being pursued by themselves, this group of Chinese troops had a really strong reaction speed and adaptability to the battle, marched quickly in a state of pursuit, built defensive positions, and carried out a night raid on their own men.
Backed by strong reinforcements, Takeda never thought of the word retreat in his next move, whether it was for the honor of the imperial army or for the mission, these two words could not appear "It's time to adjust your tactics."
Takeda muttered to himself.
However, the successive small setbacks and defeats prompted Takeda to adjust his tactics, and after the battle of the village, Takeda's troops have been pursuing rapidly, and this time it was raided, and there was still a reason for the rash advance.
Takeda thought about it carefully, and there was also a problem with the search tactics, and when attacked, the infantry were suddenly attacked in the form of marching troops on the road, which was so wide that it was an excellent firing ground for machine guns.
The vanguard did not issue a warning, I am afraid that they were killed collectively, if it was not for the concentrated search on the road, but the scattered search, the situation would not have fallen to this point at all.
Takeda decided it was time to make adjustments, moving too fast was a problem, and in the process of moving forward, it was also a problem to focus on the road without focusing on the wings for the sake of tiles.
In the same situation, if the troops are dispersed, the casualties will be much smaller.
Takeda determined the tactics to be adjusted in a short period of time, and after successive setbacks, he must further increase his vigilance, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army in these encounters was very good, and Takeda always had a bad premonition.
The available combat forces at hand were worn out little by little in several raids and offensive and defensive battles, and although there were reinforcements, Takeda thought that caution should prevail in the ensuing battle.
This night raid suffered no less losses than the ambush during the day, especially the attrition of the combat soldiers.
All in all, the pace and pace of action of their own troops is too fast.
Slow down, slow down, Takeda repeated these four words silently.
In the bloody dark night, the two armies confronted each other inside and outside the second-line positions, and all night, no one fired a shot, and no one made a fuss. ：。
