Bright Sword Military System
Chapter 137 Determination
Neiji Okamura did not intend to send the "regular army" to the battlefield to deal with the guerrillas. This is actually a misunderstanding.
From the very beginning, Neiji Okamura's strategic goal was to block the Eighth Route Army in the mountains.
If there are enough troops, he only needs to send troops to build a defense line outside the mountains.
The problem is that the North China Front Army has too many areas to defend... Railway traffic lines, highway traffic lines, quasi-security areas, non-security areas, and even Ye'an District need troops to ensure security.
The price of the occupation army is that there are dangers everywhere, and every commoner here is a potential enemy, so troops need to be invested in every place, otherwise there will be unexpected troubles.
Therefore, not to mention that there are only more than 30 troops including the puppet army, even if it is 40 or 50, it will be difficult to take care of several aspects before blocking the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area.
In order to achieve this with limited forces, it is necessary to occupy a part of the mountainous area and use the advantages of the terrain to build a defense line.
Ningji Okamura made a comparison:
Build a gun tower in the plain area, although it can control a wider area, but it is full of loopholes, it is easy for the enemy to mix in and even directly attack the gun tower... because the plain means that the enemy may pass or break through everywhere. At that point, the enemy will choose to infiltrate all-pervasive after dark.
But it is different to build a gun tower on the high ground and block the high road with a condescending height. This kind of gun tower can effectively block the highway while ensuring its own safety. What Munningji pursued.
Therefore, Neiji Okamura's tactic for the "non-public security area" is to occupy high ground and build field fortifications to organize defenses until he builds gun towers and pulls up barbed wire to set up minefields to complete the blockade.
Occupying high ground and organizing defenses is what the regular army is good at. The firepower and equipment of the mixed brigades are slightly insufficient in front of the already developed Eighth Route Army.
For example, a brigade of a mixed brigade appeared in a certain highland or in a certain village and was surrounded and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
If it was a regular army with tanks and large-caliber howitzers ... there would be no such situation.
Neiji Okamura originally thought there would be no difficulty. After all, the Japanese army dispatched a second-class field division, and most of the troops were retired veterans and young people who had received military training. (Note: The second-tier divisions of the Japanese Army in World War II were numbered 21 to 110)
The Eighth Route Army has always adopted the guerrilla tactics of "if you can't fight, then withdraw".
Therefore, Neiji Okamura estimates that the difficulty of fighting the "non-Ye'an area" is "defense", that is, after the occupation, he will be endlessly harassed by the opponent.
What Neji Okamura did not expect was that this time the Eighth Route Army fought an offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army in the mountainous area uncharacteristically, and it was quite tenacious.
"Did they know my battle plan in advance?" Okamura Ningji was puzzled by this.
He would think this way, not only because of the fighting in the "non-law and order area", but also because of the intelligence from the "quasi law and order area" that the Eighth Route Army has changed its tactics.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in charge of this aspect, said: "There seems to be no trace of the enemy in these villages. In fact, they are already hiding underground. We found many tunnels. Our army encountered great resistance when attacking these tunnels! "
The tunnels in the plain area and the fortifications on the reverse slope of the highland are almost the fish-scale encirclement tactics implemented by Neiji Okamura in the "quasi-security area" and the blockade tactics implemented in the "non-security area".
Could it be that someone leaked information?
But Neiji Okamura quickly overturned this idea.
Because these tunnels and these reverse slope fortifications cannot be built in a day or two, they should have started before making their own plans.
and so……
Neiji Okamura finally attributed it to "coincidence".
Where did Neiji Okamura know that this was not a coincidence, but that someone really knew his battle plan and made preparations in advance.
The 37th Division of the Japanese Army, code-named "Winter", is a unit formed in Kumamoto Prefecture.
Lieutenant General Adachi 23, the head of the division, was named because he was born in the 23rd year of Meiji (1890). He was a student of Neiji Okamura, and he was a classmate of Yan Xishan, He Yingqin and others at the same time.
At this time, he was looking at the map and listening to the detailed description of the battlefield by the surviving soldiers of the Yoshida Brigade.
Anda 23 is a bit strange. It has been more than three years since he entered this land as a regiment captain to fight in the Songhu Battle, and he has never seen or even heard of such a strange tactic.
But these surviving soldiers seem to be right, because he is facing this problem now, the field howitzer is completely useless, and the same is true for tanks and machine guns.
Do we have to go up and fight with them with bayonets?
If it's an option, then it's okay!
"Nishihara-kun!" Anda 23 raised his head and ordered Nishihara Chisa, the captain standing beside him, "Send a small team to investigate and see if this is the case!"
"Yes!" Nishihara Chizuo responded, turned around and gave orders to the staff officer.
Then, Anda23 glanced at the dozen or so wounded surviving soldiers standing beside him with cold eyes, and said, "As for you, you can serve the empire with all your loyalty!"
"But, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" The leading Japanese captain looked at Anda 23 with disbelief, and explained excitedly: "We didn't run away, and we didn't surrender. We fought until the last moment..."
"Really?" Anda 23 interrupted the captain impatiently: "If you fought to the last moment, why are you still standing here?"
The captain was speechless, or he already knew that things couldn't be changed, so he didn't explain at all.
As soon as Anda 23 waved his hand, soldiers escorted the surviving soldiers down.
Then there was a burst of "bang bang" gunshots, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one in the back of the head after being hit by the rifle at close range.
Anda 23 took a deep breath, raised his binoculars and cast his eyes on the high ground hundreds of meters away.
He actually believed what these surviving soldiers said. They passed out during the battle and lived until now.
After all, it is a battlefield where thousands of people fight, and it is inevitable that there will be some "accidents" when the corpses of the enemy and the enemy are mixed together.
From this perspective, they should be heroes who survived the battlefield.
But Anda 23 still couldn't let them go.
No reason, because Anda 23 can't let its soldiers be lucky and let the soldiers hold the hope of returning from the battlefield alive. Anda 23 wants to send a message to the soldiers: If they are defeated, they should all be loyal to the empire.
Only in this way can the soldiers have the determination to die, which is also the determination to win!
