At this time, a young man next to Sato stood up: "Your Excellency the division commander, this attack on the main position of Niushou Mountain is not that we are careless, but that the independent brigade is too difficult to fight, they have been fighting against our Imperial Japanese Army since the Battle of Songhu, and its brigade commander is a rare person in the Chinese army with a clear mind and superb command methods. ” "The Independent Brigade is different from other Chinese troops, it has strict military discipline, unified orders, and does not fight rigidly and rigidly, with a variety of tricks, and the most strange thing is that the Independent Brigade does not have the factions that other Chinese armies have, which makes the Independent Brigade survive such a fierce blow from us and stand firm to this day."
"I think that in order to get rid of the Independent Brigade, we must first get rid of Zhou Wu, the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, so that the Independent Brigade will be leaderless and will definitely be defeated, and then we will be able to attack and take the opportunity to occupy Niushou Mountain and open up the passage to Guanghuamen."
This devil is an intelligence person, and he has a very thorough understanding of the situation of the Independent Brigade and Zhou Wu, and it is obvious that he has put a lot of effort into it.
Sato nodded again and again after hearing this, and was about to order a crack force to be sent to attack Zhou Wu's command post.
At this time, another devil stood up: "Your Excellency the division commander, please wait, I thought this method was inappropriate, last time in Luodian, we carried out a sneak attack against Zhou Wu, but in the end, the whole army was wiped out." ” "The Chinese often say that it is impossible for him to be unguarded, and if we go to sneak attack again, I am afraid that the end will not be too good, and once he moves the command post to conceal it, it will be troublesome."
When Sato heard that there was a different opinion, he immediately asked: "Then according to the opinion of the mountain king, how should we deal with Zhou Wu?"
Seeing that Sato was willing to listen to his suggestion, Yamagami Dazuo felt that there was a play, so he hurriedly cleared his throat and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, I don't think it is necessary to blindly storm Niushou Mountain, you can consider finding another way, go from the unexpected place of the Chinese army, directly insert it into the Guanghua Gate of Nanjing, surround all the Chinese army in Niushou Mountain from behind, including the independent brigade, and then annihilate them together with the 15th Division in the direction of Zhenjiang, and completely clear the obstacles to Nanjing City."
"This devil called the mountain seems to have a bit of a brain, he can't attack it if he wants to, so he has outwitted it.
When Sato heard this, he became interested, and hurriedly said to him, "Okay, very good, Yamagami-kun, please continue."
"Sato wants to hear what good ways to find another way on this mountain.
"We can use the strength of one wing to feint the main position of Niushou Mountain and contain the main force of the Independent Brigade, and first send a capable detachment of about 100 people to mix in from the gap between the Independent Brigade and the 11th Division, climb over Niushou Mountain, and insert directly under the Guanghua Gate in Nanjing.
The detachment first concealed itself, and when it had gathered a certain number, it attacked the independent brigade from behind. ” "At this time, the Independent Brigade has two options, quickly abandon the Niushou Mountain position for a while, and withdraw to Guanghuamen from this canyon behind the position, and we can ambush the forces of the two brigades on the mountains on both sides and annihilate the Independent Brigade here."
"The second is to continue to hold the position and fight to the death with us, then they will not be able to hold out for a day, the front and rear attacks, plus the flanks are attacked by the 15th Division, I don't believe that the Independent Brigade can withstand an attack of such a scale.
As long as the independent brigade is solved, the rest of the 79th Army units will not be a problem, it can be said that it is easy to capture and effortless. ” The mountain is really insidious, and I have thought of two moves, which can lead to the death of Zhou Wu's independent brigade.
"Okay, Shanshangjun is right, the key issue at present is how to climb over Niushou Mountain in the shortest possible time and insert it under Guanghuamen City, if this step cannot be done, the rest of the plans will not be implemented."
After all, Sato was the division commander of a field division, and he immediately grasped the main point of the problem.
"Your Excellency the division commander, this is easy to do, we have found a small road in Niushou Mountain that can lead to the city of Nanjing, this path is unknown to ordinary people, we can send a small army in under the guidance of friendly people, and then send a large army to go over when we have a firm foothold."
"Although this is time-consuming and laborious, it will definitely receive unexpected results, it is really not possible, you can consider the troops to bring more mountaineering tools, the altitude of Niushou Mountain is not high, only about 100 meters, it should be able to climb over it."
Yamagami said.
"Okay, Yamagami-kun, this task will be entrusted to you to implement, from today onwards, you can mobilize all the troops of the 14th Division at any time, if the plan is successful, I will report to the base camp and promote you to be my chief of staff."
Sato hurriedly made a wish to this mountain Dazuo Fengguan, and when he heard it on the mountain, he was overjoyed, if he could become the chief of staff of the 14th Division, this level would go up, and the rank would also go up, major general, some people have been grinding in the position of Dazuo all their lives, and it is great to be able to be a major general only in wartime.
Yamagami Osa immediately listened to it, and saluted Sato: "Thank you for your trust, the division commander, I will definitely complete the plan" After speaking, he withdrew from the conference room, and hurriedly went to find another way in Niushou Mountain.
Just when the devils were plotting to cross Niushou Mountain and find another way to insert themselves behind the Zhouwu Independent Brigade, the Independent Brigade repelled several attacks of the little devils in the main position of Niushou Mountain, and was gasping for breath and resting in the trenches.
Looking at the scene of dead bodies everywhere and gunsmoke curling on the battlefield, Zhou Wu hurriedly asked the fat man to count the casualties of the troops, and soon reported it below: "From morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 230 people were killed and 240 wounded, of which 100 were seriously injured.
As soon as the fat man heard this result, his head "buzzed" and he became the boss all of a sudden, my obedient girl, isn't this the old life of our group, our group is almost finished, after this battle, there are few who are intact and not injured at all, almost disabled.
Zhou Wu was stunned when he heard this result, this loss is really big, if it goes on like this, it won't take two days, the entire independent brigade will have to finish playing, and he can't get any supplements on his side, and the little devil on the opposite side seems to be unable to finish fighting, and he is attacking endlessly.
Zhou Wu immediately wanted to get through the four regiments that were still struggling to support on the left flank: "Old Gao, how are you doing there now?"
"Brigade seat, the little devil's attack is too fierce, we have already suffered most of the casualties, I am shrinking my position, if the devil still attacks like this later, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the night."
Gao Xiangfa is also shouting bitterness, to be honest, this Gao Xiangfa generally does not shout bitterness, this time it shows that the left wing is indeed under the great pressure of the little devils.
Zhou Wu heard that most of the brothers were killed and injured in the fourth regiment, and he was entangled in his heart, this person is fighting less and less, but there are more and more damn little devils, what should I do Ding Ning said: "Brigade seat, I think the little devil is with our independent brigade, you see that there has been no major movement on the positions of other friendly forces so far, but they have concentrated all their forces to attack our independent brigade side one by one, the pressure on our side is too great, whether we can hold the position is difficult to say." ” "Lao Ding, this position is the southeast gateway of Nanjing, and the Guanghua Gate is behind us, so we can't afford not to defend it, even if our independent brigade is wiped out, we have to defend this position."
"Having said that, but now that our independent brigade has been seriously reduced, with nearly half of the casualties, how can we fight a war of attrition with the little devils who are far superior to us in terms of quantity and quality, can we really hold our positions in this situation, rather than not being able to hold it, it is better to retreat to Guanghuamen in advance."
Ding Ning put forward his own suggestions. t1706231537:
