Chapter 256: Post-War Summary
As soon as Xue Yue's words came out, the senior staff members in the battle hall echoed one after another.
Indeed, the previous battles of the 367th Regiment were the Battle of Jinshanwei, although it was also exaggerated, but at least it can be imagined, but this battle in Xinjiekou this evening has completely exceeded the limit of their imagination.
Isn't that an exaggeration?
At this time, Bai Chongxi suddenly asked everyone: "Do you think this result is exaggerated?" ”
He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and other senior generals, as well as a senior staff member, and even Chairman Jiang subconsciously nodded.
"Actually, this result is not an exaggeration at all!" Bai Chongxi waved his hand and said, "According to my analysis, there are probably three reasons. ”
"Really?" Chen Cheng hurriedly said, "Brother Jiansheng, you can analyze it for us, how did the 367 regiment do it?" ”
Bai Chongxi nodded, and then said: "The first point, of course, is still Zhong Yi's command, I don't know if you have found out, anyway, I found out, Zhong Yi This guy is very fond of thinking about people's hearts in war, the reason why this devil will suffer a big loss under Zhong Yi's hands is mainly because Zhong Yi has already figured out the mind of the little devil!" ”
"The mind of a devil? What mind? Chen Cheng said blankly, "Why didn't I see it?" ”
Bai Chongxi thought to himself, nonsense, if you can see it, then won't you also become a little Zhuge ?
But of course Bai Chongxi wouldn't say this explicitly, and said at the moment: "The devil's mind is like this. ”
Chairman Chiang and a group of high-ranking generals held their breath and listened to Bai Chongxi's explanation.
……
At about the same time, the Japanese army was also engaged in a post-war review.
Hatohiko Asakanomiya stared at Shiro Inaba, and his eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire!
To be honest, Hatohiko Asakanomiya didn't care much about the loss of troops, and for the Tenth Army, which had three and a half divisions plus two supplementary corps, the loss of a wing was not a problem at all.
What Hatohiko really cares about is the face, his face, and the face of the royal family!
Because of this, when Inaba Shiro proposed to send a dispatch army to Shanghai for help, Hatohiko Asakanomiya was not moved at all!
Hatohiko stubbornly believed that it was the troops of the Tenth Army that first attacked Nanjing, and that the first troops to enter the city of Nanjing were also the troops of the Tenth Army, so it must be the troops of the Tenth Army that annihilated the last resistance force in Nanjing and completely occupied Nanjing.
Only then will the glory belong to the Tenth Army.
Only in this way will the glory belong to him to the Imperial Family!
Because of this, Hatohiko of Asaka Palace would rather delay the Battle of Nanjing for another day.
After a long time, Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace said viciously: "Inaba-kun, don't you have anything to say?" ”
"Hello!" Shiro Inaba shook his head heavily and said, "Your Royal Highness, before coming to the headquarters, the humble position has already been investigated, and the reason why the 6th Division will suffer a big loss this time is mainly because the 367th Regiment is equipped with gas masks, and we don't know it. ”
"Nani?" Hatohiko of Asaka Palace said awe-inspiringly, "The 367th regiment is equipped with gas masks? ”
"Hello!" Inaba Shiro paused and said, "It is precisely because the 367th Regiment is equipped with gas masks, but the Imperial Army has no knowledge, so it is taken for granted that the 367th Regiment has died from poison gas bombs!" That's why I relaxed my vigilance and stepped into the trap built by the 367th regiment, so there was this fiasco! ”
"Yaga!" Hatohiko said angrily, "Are you all blind?" The people of the 367 regiment wore gas masks, and you can't see it? ”
"Your Highness, this is exactly Zhong Yi's cunning!" Inaba Shiro said with a wry smile, "Although the 367th Regiment has a defensive mask, it was not worn at the first time, but waited until the imperial artillery fired tear gas, and waited until the smoke of the tear gas bomb had completely covered the Xinjiekou position, and the 367th Regiment wore the mask, so the imperial army did not see it." ”
"Yaga!" Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace said hatefully, "Zhong Yi is so cunning? ”
……
Wuhan camp, war hall.
Bai Chongxi said: "The little devil made a preconceived mistake, and Zhong Yi perfectly took advantage of the devil's mistake and designed a shocking trap, which directly led to the devil's attacking troops being ambushed!" ”
"Ambush?" A senior staff member retorted in a low voice, "Can you also fight an ambush in the city?" ”
"Lonely and unheard, of course the city can be ambushed!" Bai Chongxi snorted coldly and said, "In the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, wasn't the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division ambushed near the Shanghai Railway Station? In less than a quarter of an hour, a main battalion was lost! Who said cities can't be ambushed? That's what you preconceived! ”
That high staff member was so red that he didn't dare to refute it.
After a pause, Bai Chongxi said again: "The second point I want to say is the concentrated use of firepower!" ”
"Concentrated use of firepower!" Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I know this, in the battle for Luodian, the reason why our 11th Division will suffer a big loss under the devils is because the devils have concentrated a lot of heavy firepower!" ”
"This is it!" Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, in this ambush battle at Xinjiekou, the 367th Regiment must have concentrated a large number of machine guns!" Only by forming an ultra-high-intensity firepower output in a short period of time can it be possible to completely annihilate nearly two infantry wings before the devils can react! ”
Xue Yue nodded and asked, "Brother Jiansheng, what about the third reason?" ”
"As for the third reason." Bai Chongxi said, "This is a street fight!" Street fighting is fundamentally different from positional warfare! For our national army, street fighting is a strange concept, almost none of our senior generals are good at street fighting, and the situation of devils is a little better than ours, but it is not much better! ”
"Indeed!" Chen Cheng said, "It can be seen from the Battle of Songhu that the Japanese devils are not good at street fighting!" ”
"However, the 367th Regiment or Zhong Yi is very good at street fighting!" Bai Chongxi said, "This can be seen from Zhong Yi's choice of Xinjiekou as a defensive position. ”
Xue Yue said: "Zhong Yi chose Xinjiekou as a defensive position, is there any doorway in it?" ”
"Of course!" Bai Chongxi said, "First of all, Xinjiekou is the geographical center of Nanjing City, if the devil does not occupy Xinjiekou, it will not be regarded as occupying Nanjing, and secondly, Xinjiekou is close to the security zone, and can obtain the continuous replenishment of the rout troops in the security zone; The third and most important point is that most of the buildings near Xinjiekou are reinforced concrete buildings! ”
Xue Yue said: "After Brother Jiansheng's analysis, Zhong Yi seems to be really good at street fighting!" ”
"It's not like it, it's just that!" Bai Chongxi muttered, "After all, they graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and this person who has drunk foreign ink is different from us turtles." ”
