Xiao Zheng and Zhang Er set up horses and took the team to cross the river on a detour, and the little devils in Yamada on the other side still thought that Lao Xu and the others in the back were still waiting on the position to block their back roads, and they were busy organizing the devil officers who had just been airborne, and held a pre-war military meeting in his temporary command post set up with field tents.
At the meeting, Brigade Commander Yamada was furious, angry at Sato's repeated attacks on the northern blocking position and could not succeed, he slapped the table stacked with ammunition boxes and shouted at the devil officers under him: "The Miyamoto Brigade was eaten by Zhou Wu's Jiangbei New Fourth Army, our Yamada Brigade cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, Commander Shunroku Hahata in Nanjing has already sent two elite brigades to reinforce us, we must show the samurai spirit of the Great Japanese Empire, and tear a gap in the northern position to stand out, otherwise, You don't have to go home, just make your own decisions here in Lijiawan, thank Your Majesty the Emperor."
The devil officers under Yamada were silent, and they didn't dare to come out, this time the Yamada Brigade fell into the encirclement of Zhou Wu, because they despised the strength of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army too much, thinking that the Jiangbei New Fourth Army did not have the strength to be able to surround the Miyamoto Brigade in the north at the same time, and then turn back to deal with the Yamada Brigade, I never thought that after Zhou Wu ate the Miyamoto Brigade in three times and divided by two, he immediately turned back to deal with the Yamada Brigade, which caused the Yamada Brigade to go north to rescue the Miyamoto Brigade to be trapped in the area of Lijiawan and unable to save people.
Instead, he was besieged, Yamada is now remorseful, anxious to break out, in this military meeting, he had a showdown with those devil officers under his command: "Now there are only two roads in front of our brigade, one is to cheer up, concentrate all the attack forces, open the breakthrough of the northern position and break out, so that our brigade can still be preserved, and the other is to continue to hold on here, drag Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army team to death, and wait for the two elite brigades of the imperial army to arrive, I am afraid that judging from the current situation, whether our brigade can support it until that time is still two words, so we can't sit still, the warriors of the Imperial Army, take out your bushido spirit, instead of dying on the battlefield, why not die a heroic death, so that our souls can return to Great Japan and be admired by all the people."
Yamada's little devil's words were deeply inflammatory, and the devil officers under his command screamed wildly, and two of them, the devil Shaozo, who had just been airborne, became even more fanatical, and shouted loudly to Yamada: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we believe that the current situation can only be broken through by organizing a few death squads, and on the battlefield of Okinawa, our imperial army has appeared a kamikaze death squad piloting a plane with the landing gear removed, and here we must also organize such a death squad to attack the positions of the Shina people."
Yamada saw that the fanaticism of the officers below was ignited by what he had just said, and he fell into his arms, and when he heard the proposal of these two devil officers to form a death squad, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, Okazaki-kun, this proposal of yours is very good, immediately select warriors in the brigade, form a few death squads, rush up, tear apart the positions of the people in the north, and the main forces of the brigades and regiments behind are ready to concentrate on breaking through, once the death squad makes a breakthrough in a certain direction, immediately break through in that direction" At the moment when the little devils in Yamada organized a death squad and were ready to break through in a desperate fight, the fat man and Huang Shuisheng on the northern position were also nervously reinforcing the fortifications, and many of the little devils' men and horses and ammunition fell in their idle sky, indicating that Yamada on the opposite side would launch a more ferocious attack, and a bigger storm was coming, and it was just a temporary calm before the storm came.
The fat man just counted the casualties on the position, that is, the onslaught of the little devil just now, the fat man lost most of the regiment and a battalion at the forefront, nearly 200 brothers were killed, and more were wounded, even the commander of the first battalion was shot in the left arm by the bullet from the devil, and he could barely move, it was really dangerous just now, if it wasn't for Ge Sanmin with men and horses to come from behind in time to reinforce from behind, this forward position may be captured by Sato's devil soldiers, think about this, the fat man not only re-examined the strength of the little devil opposite, It turns out that those little devils are still so fierce, although they have added a lot of recruits who have little combat experience, but as long as those devil veterans are still there, their attack power will not be attenuated a lot for a while, just now the fat man admitted that he was a little underestimated, did not arrange multiple crossfire points at the forefront, and after the loopholes and gaps in the position, they were not able to be plugged in time, so that there was a situation where the devils almost broke through the position, and the lesson was profound.
Taking advantage of the gap between the devils' suspension of the attack, the fat man, Huang Shuisheng, and Ge Sanmin sat down together to discuss: "The devils have received air support, ammunition and personnel have been supplied, and the attack launched in the next place must be fierce, we have to discuss a way, how to hold the position and prevent these devils from breaking out."
As soon as the fat man spoke, Huang Shuisheng and Ge Sanmin began to shout, Ge Sanmin had a loud voice, he was very uninterested in the fat man's defense of layers of fortifications on the position, thinking that this was fighting our weakness with the little devils who were well-armed and good at fighting positional warfare, the little devils liked to fight this kind of positional defensive warfare the most, they were well-armed, as long as they had enough ammunition, they could continuously attack and charge, and our New Fourth Army was different, Ge Sanmin used to have only one battalion, and there was no way to do tricks, Just digging fortifications here for defense, and now the fat man has brought two regiments of men and horses, and he is still engaged in layers of defense here, Ge Sanmin feels very unhappy, and now he has to spit and complain.
As soon as the fat man heard Ge Sanmin's opinion, he hurriedly asked him: "Then Ge Sanmin, what do you think we should do now not to stick to the position here, and let those devils rush out from here to break through?"
"I didn't say that let the little devil break out of us, I don't think this kind of layered defense is good, the devil has been reinforced with weapons, ammunition and personnel, and the attack power has been greatly enhanced, just now Lao Liu, you also saw it, almost by the devil to break through the position, so I think it's better to change the defense strategy, I think we can't beat the little devil on the other side in the positional war, and now they have been reinforced" Ge Sanmin told the truth, he was very respectful of the fat man, and he was also very polite, But for this kind of plan that is related to life and death, Ge Sanmin still has to fight for reason, although Zhou Wu explained that the fat man is in charge of this place for the time being.
As soon as the fat man heard Ge Sanmin's words, he felt that it made sense, indeed in the case of his own insufficient troops, not much ammunition, and weapons much worse than the other party, he fought a positional battle with the Yamada Brigade who wanted to desperately stand out, in fact, he didn't have much bottom in his heart, the scene just now was too thrilling, if it wasn't for Ge Sanmin and his brothers to arrive, I'm afraid he would have to lie here at this time, so the fat man who had communicated with him hurriedly asked Ge Sanmin: "Then Ge Sanmin, according to your opinion, what should we do now?"
Ge Sanmin proposed: "Lao Liu, I think give up the first blocking position, dig the trenches in the position, lay mines and other explosives, the brothers of the first battalion all retreat, ambush the left and right flanks between the second position, and pull up the aquatic spy group from the second and third positions, and also ambush on the left and right flanks, of course, the first pig field still has to arrange some brothers to hold on, the purpose is to lure the Yamada devil in, and wait for most of the attacking devil wing on the opposite side to enter the ambush circle.
Send a strong combat force to block the gap in the first position, so that a small encirclement is formed, now the strength of our position is two regiments and one battalion, according to the news just sent by the brigade, Xiao Zheng's third regiment and Zhang Ercheng's artillery battalion are also rushing here, as long as we can surround the devils for more than three or four hours, Xiao Zheng They will definitely be able to arrive, then the total strength of our side will reach the size of four regiments, three times more than the devil wing that came to attack, Moreover, with the addition of Zhang Ercheng's artillery battalion, the local artillery firepower is also a lot more than the devil, so that we can launch a siege, first eliminate this devil, and then say, the brigade seat does not often tell us that the victory or failure of the war is not to look at the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but to destroy the enemy's most vital force with their own minimum losses, and the devil's vital force has been annihilated by us, so what else do they have to threaten our position" Ge Sanmin seems to have won the true meaning of Zhou Wu's war command in the past few years, and proposed to the fat man, The strategy of putting the devil in and closing the door and beating the dog, taking the initiative to give up the first line of fortifications, luring Sato and their little devils in, suddenly sealing the retreat of the devils at the front and back ends, and concentrating superior forces to gather and annihilate them The fat man listened to Ge Sanmin's suggestion, and felt very good, although the fat man was so strong and good-looking, and he was never willing to lose to other colleagues in any aspect, but he still sincerely admired Ge Sanmin's plan to lure the enemy deep and surround and annihilate him today, indeed, he was inferior to Ge Sanmin in this regard, of course, the weak cultural foundation was a hard injury of the fat man, and he was used to the face-to-face positional battle with the little devil, and felt that this was the real battle, and felt that the positional battle was enjoyable, which was the knot that the fat man had been lingering in his heart, Since joining the New Fourth Army, he has not commanded a large army to fight this kind of positional warfare for many years, and the fat man misses this kind of battle very much, although most of this kind of positional warfare with the devil face-to-face has ended in failure, but the kind of horizontal sword prancing horse, charging forward, and desperately blocking the pride and ambition make the fat man unable to forget and give up for a long time, this is also the real reaction of the fat man who personally adhered to the forefront of the position with a battalion and the commander-in-chief of the position on the other side of the river, Ge Sanmin's suggestion told the fat man, At present, the strength of the New Fourth Army is still insufficient to fight a regular positional war with the devils who have the advantage, and this practice of disregarding reality and having to fight a war of attrition in positions will be poked out of a big basket if it is not done well. t1706231537:
