Rebirth of the Northern Giants

The Second Japanese Division was also exhausted. As a fresh force, the sailors should be able to gain some ground. If the Sixth Japanese Division arrives, Nie Shicheng has no confidence that the sailors will resist the new Japanese army. , Instead, the sailors were dispatched.

In Nagasaki Village, the headquarters of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, Nogi Nozomi casually gave Kokijiro, the captain of the 4th Regiment, a resounding slap.

"Hi!"

Xiaoxi Erlang's face immediately showed five crimson finger prints, but he didn't dare to cover them, instead he hastily lowered his head and responded.

"Baga, Baga, idiot, trash. My Second Division has already suffered more than 4 casualties, and I haven't even captured a single position of the Chinese. It's a disgrace to my Japanese Army and my first division." The face of the Second Division, you idiot, since the [-]th Regiment still has half the number of people, you are so cowardly that you dare not attack, and dare to come to see me, get out of here quickly, don’t fight until one soldier dies, Don't appear in front of me again." Nogi Xidian roared furiously.

The 4th Regiment had just recruited some new recruits before the battle, and these recruits were still a little afraid of death. After two-thirds of the regiment's casualties, these recruits were too scared to attack again.

Xiao Xierlang hurriedly put his feet together, and replied: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, please rest assured, I will personally command behind the soldiers, and whoever retreats, I will kill them on the spot!"

"Your Excellency, we can't blame our soldiers for not being brave, but the weapons of the Chinese people are too powerful. Their cannons can directly suppress our cannons, and their machine guns are far more than our army. What's even more frightening is that, They still have a lot of grenades." Seeing that Nogi Xidian was getting angry all the time, the division staff couldn't help but persuade him a little to prevent him from losing his mind.

The staff officer continued: "As long as we continue to maintain this offensive posture and put great pressure on the Chinese people, I believe that victory will belong to us sooner or later. Therefore, it is urgent to hold on to it!

Nogi Xidian was about to speak, but saw that the sky outside was getting more gloomy, splashing, and not long after, it started to rain heavily.

The expression of the Japanese officers at the headquarters of the Second Division couldn't help but change. It was raining at this important moment, and the marching speed of the Sixth Division would definitely be affected.

"Baga, even God is against me!" Nogi Xidian slashed at the table next to him, turning the four-corner table into a five-corner table.

Kuroki, who received Nogi Noki's request for tactical guidance, considered it and dispatched two brigades with a total of 1 troops from the Sixth Division to the sniper squadron, led by Chief of Staff Fujii Mota.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the rain is too heavy and the roads are muddy, which has seriously affected the march. Although it may not be able to reach the destination tonight." The captain of the reconnaissance team reported to him.

It has been raining for three full hours, and it hasn't stopped yet. Fujii Shigeru couldn't help but feel very helpless.

"No, we must speed up. Now every minute and every second are precious. The reinforcements of the Chinese people will appear on the battlefield at any time. We can only be earlier than them, not later than them. Order the whole army to abandon part of the supplies and weapons, and speed up. Marching speed." Fujii Shigeru thought for a while, and frowned before giving the order.

"Hi Yi!" The orderly responded quickly.

Chapter 297 The Tragedy of Nogi Xidian

The heavy rain did not affect the determination of the Japanese Lieutenant General Nogi Nozomi. By the afternoon of the battle, he realized that the squadron was already very weak after days of fierce fighting.

In view of the heavy losses of the Second Division and many brigades being disabled, Nogi Nogi reorganized the Second Division and made up his mind to fight at night.

The right-wing detachment, including the third infantry brigade: the 4th and 16th regiments, of which the 4th regiment has lost two brigades, one regiment and three brigades, and the 16th regiment has only one squadron left; One squadron of the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion of the Second Artillery Wing lacked two squadrons, and the commander of the Third Infantry Brigade, Major General Yamaguchi Sotomi, was the commander.

The left-wing detachment, including the fourth infantry brigade: the 29th and 30th regiments, of which the 29th regiment has lost two brigades, and the 30th regiment has also lost more than half of its troops; the headquarters of the second cavalry brigade; The third brigade of the first regiment lacked a squadron, and the commander of the fourth infantry brigade, Major General Fushimi Sadaai, was the commander;

The communications team, including a brigade of the [-]th Infantry Regiment and a squadron of the [-]nd Cavalry Regiment, lacked a detachment;

In the end, the Nishi Kanjiro mixed brigade with hundreds of people remained.

"Gentlemen, attack the Chinese army tonight. If you fail, you will be benevolent. I send you a poem to encourage yourself: The mountains, rivers, and vegetation have turned desolate, and the new battlefield is ten miles away. The horses are not as before, and the people are silent. Standing outside the city of Nagasaki." Xieyang. Fighting to this day, the remaining troops of our Second Division are running low. If you still can’t capture the Chinese positions and drive the Chinese people back to the sea, all lords, please join me in self-defeating to thank the emperor.” Noki Nozomi Said with an angry face.

"For Your Majesty, for the Yamato nation!" Nogi Noki stood up, held his hands on his chest, lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly.

The rest of the generals quickly stood up and shouted together: "For Your Majesty, for the Yamato nation."

"Nie Shicheng, the famous general of China, is an old opponent of our Great Japanese Empire. In the past, we had confronted each other on the Korean battlefield. The army will not be defeated easily, I plan to dispatch an elite detachment to surprise the Chinese headquarters, if successful, the Chinese who also suffered heavy losses will collapse." Nogi Xidian glanced at the Japanese generals sitting, and said calmly .

Nogi Xidian is obviously desperate at this time, the surprise attack force is actually a death squad!

"I will serve as the captain of the surprise attack force." Nogi Xidian said surprisingly.

Everyone was surprised.

"Your Excellency, as a commander, are you too restless?" Major General Fushimi Sadaai, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, said slowly.

"Gentlemen, as I said, if this battle is not successful, you will be benevolent. After this battle, if you lose, the Second Division will cease to exist. If you win, it will be a narrow victory. I, Nogi Xidian, have no face to see your majesty again, so , please agree to my order, and hope that you can cooperate a lot to make this surprise attack a success!" Nogi Nozomi said seriously.

Several Japanese generals were silent, as if they had silently obeyed Nogi Nozomi's order.

Nomu Xidian can't be judged by common sense. During the Sino-Russian War in later generations, he personally took up a bayonet and led a surprise attack. Therefore, it is not surprising that he would do this.

"I hope your Excellency will succeed!" Yamaguchi Sotomi said softly.

In the squadron command post, Nie Shicheng looked at the torrential rain outside, and felt a little relaxed. The Sixth Japanese Division should arrive late.

It's time, just hold on tonight, the second landing force will arrive.

"Sun Wanling!" Nie Shicheng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Your subordinate is here!" A tiger standing next to him stood up and responded.

"Lead the reserve army to be ready for support at any time, and if there is a danger, immediately reinforce it."

"Yes!" Sun Wanling made a military salute and responded with a high shout.He is popular and bold, and his figure is not tall but strong, so he has the title of "Sun Gunzi".

Li Bingheng once said: "The soldiers are solid and single, especially suffering without generals. The former enemy who dared to fight is only one grandson Wanling." The former Qing Dynasty has been an official to the army division, and then entered Vladivostok with Nie Shicheng, and the commanded headquarters was the first. Invaded the Vladivostok City Squadron, and was regarded by Nie Shicheng as his confidant and favorite general.

In the Chinese position, due to the temporary adjustment of the strategic deployment of the Japanese army, the soldiers got a rare rest time. They took dry food and stuffed it into their mouths under the rain, but their eyes did not drift to the Japanese position, ready to shoot at any time.

Nie Shicheng appeared at the forward position with several personal soldiers.

"Nie Shuai!"

"Nie Shuai!"

The soldiers who caught a glimpse of Nie Shicheng's arrival quickly stood up and saluted.

Nie Shicheng waved his hand, took a mouthful of dry food, looked at the haggard faces, and saw the scattered shrapnel everywhere in the position, his eyes became moist involuntarily.

"Children! As long as we last one more night, our reinforcements will arrive. Children, do you have confidence!" Nie Shicheng said in a low voice.

"Report to Nie Shuai! Yes!" Morale is still high.

"Okay, I will fight the Japanese army together with you tonight!" Nie Shicheng said with determination while looking into the distance.

"Nie Shuai!" A staff officer wanted to say something else.

Nie Shicheng quickly stopped and said, "Needless to say, follow me to the left wing. There are a large number of sailors over there. Tonight, the old man will spend the night there."

Seeing this, the staff officer could only nod helplessly.

Nie Shicheng inspected the past all the way, boosting morale and motivating the soldiers.

"Nie Shuai, why are you here all the time?" Cheng Yunhe, the commander of the left wing, saw Nie Shicheng walking in wet all over, and quickly handed over a towel.

Nie Shicheng wiped it casually, and saw that Ke Jianzhang, the second gunnery officer of the Jiyuan, was also there, so he couldn't help but smiled and nodded slightly.

After Fang Boqian left [-] sailors behind, he has already returned to the Jiyuan. Although the Japanese ship was destroyed, there are still one or two fish that slipped through the net and had to be guarded against.

As expected, the sailors were not good at land warfare. In just one day, more than a hundred people were killed or injured. Nie Shicheng didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let them land.
