At the same time, in a certain large compartment of the cruiser Ashigara.

Yanagawa Heisuke had already gathered a large group of officers to summarize after the start of the war.

These devil officers have Dazuo and Shaozuo, but most of them are lieutenants, and one of them even has his arm hanging and has a look of horror on his face.

As the chief of staff of the Tenth Army, Moritake Tanabe was the first to make a report: "Your Excellency, the Kunisaki detachment has six infantry squadrons collectively shattered, and another three infantry squadrons have been severely damaged; Three infantry squadrons of the 6th Division suffered heavy losses; The 18th Division had six infantry squadrons heavily damaged! ”

Yanagawa Heisuke asked with a dark face, "How many casualties are there in total?" ”

Tanabe Moritake said: "More than 2,100 people were killed and missing, and more than 1,800 were wounded!" ”

"Yaga!" Hearing this number, Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately flashed a trace of convulsions, and in just one day, the Tenth Army suffered a wing of casualties! This loss has far exceeded his expectations!

Yanagawa Heisuke expected a hard battle in Kanayama Guard, but he didn't expect it to be so hard!

What made Yanagawa Heisuke even more embarrassed or unacceptable was that the defenders on the shore were only half a battalion!

If the defenders on the shore had a division, or even an army, wouldn't the Tenth Army never be able to reach the shore?

After a long time, Yanagawa Heisuke finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Tanabe-kun, what happened on the shore?" ”

Tanabe Moritake's gaze immediately fell on the face of the ensign with his arm hanging down, and the second lieutenant quickly got up, bowed to Tanabe Moritake, and said heavily.

Tanabe Moritake said to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency Commander, Abe Kameji is the squad leader of the third squad of the fourth squadron of the first infantry brigade of the Fukuyama Wing, and the only survivor of the first wave of beach-grabbing troops!" ”

"Abe Kamiji? I've heard of you! Yanagawa Heisuke said, "You are the famous spear lieutenant of the Fukuyama Wing!" I heard that in the Battle of Xinkou, you killed eighteen soldiers with a spear in a single assault! ”

"Hello!" Abe Kameji bowed deeply and said in a panic, "Let Your Excellency the Commander see and laugh!" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke waved his hand and said, "I've also heard that your spear never leaves your body, what about the spear?" ”

Abe Kameji's face showed shame, and he said, "My spear has been lost on the shore. ”

"Sodax." Yanagawa Heisuke bowed his head lightly and said, "Tanabe-kun said that you were the only survivor of the seven hundred and twenty imperial warriors who came ashore in the first batch, which means that you participated in all the battles from beginning to end, so can you tell me now how these landing battles were lost?" ”

"Hello!" Abe Kameji shook his head and then talked about several battles from beginning to end.

After listening to Abe Kameiji's account, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake couldn't help but gasp.

Yanagawa Heisuke said awe-inspiringly: "I really didn't expect that there would be such an excellent commander in the Shina army!" ”

"Hello!" Tanabe Moritake said with deep thought, "The first time the imperial army failed to seize the beach, it was because of carelessness, there is nothing to say, the second time the beach was defeated again, it was also because of the lack of troops, there is nothing to say about this, but the third time the beach robbery failed, but it is really unbelievable!" ”

"Soga!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded and said, "In the third anti-shoal, the commander of the opposite side of China showed extremely superb command attainments, whether it was an accurate grasp of the principle of concentrated use of firepower, or the choice of the timing of firepower, it was simply impeccable!" ”

"Hello!" Tanabe Moritakeshi said suddenly, "To say that it is discouraged, even if it is a top student of the Army University, he may not be able to do better than this person!" ”

"And, more!" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "The most powerful thing is that this person can combine the principle of concentrated use of firepower with the terrain, which makes the Imperial Japanese Army occupy an absolute superiority in strength, but it is at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, and finally succeeds!" Damn it, how could there be such a powerful figure in the Chinese army? ”

Tanabe Moritake said: "When it comes to the topography, we can't fail to mention the tidal flats by the sea!" ”

After a pause, Tanabe Moritake turned his head again and asked Abe Kameiji: "Abe-kun, what are the bamboo nails you are talking about?" ”

"Oh yes, it's a bamboo nail, I brought a bamboo nail back!" Abe Kameji slapped his head, and then took out a bamboo nail with mud from his satchel, and said, "This is it!" ”

"That's what the Chinese army planted on the beach?" Tanabe Moritake stretched out his hand to take the bamboo nail, took a cursory look at it, and then handed the bamboo nail to Yanagawa Heisuke.

"Hello!" Abe Kameji said, "The beach is full of bamboo nails like this!" The rubber-soled shoes of the imperial army can't stop this bamboo nail at all, and they can be worn with a single piercing! ”

Tanabe Moritake motioned to the adjutant to bring a pair of rubber-soled shoes, and then took a bamboo nail to pierce it!

"Sodes!" Tanabe Moritake immediately said in horror, "Your Excellency, Commander, I really didn't expect that a small worthless bamboo nail could have such great lethality!" ”

"Cunning Shina man!" Yanagawa Heisuke said with a dark face, "This person not only has superb tactical command attainments, but also such cunning that people can't guard against!" I really don't know where this person came from? ”

"But fortunately, this person's rank is extremely low, at best, he is a small battalion commander!" Tanabe Moritake waved his hand and said, "The most terrifying thing right now is the artillery of the Zhina!" If it weren't for the presence of this artillery, the bamboo nails would not have been able to stop the imperial army at all, and the third wave of beach grabbing would have already opened the gap! ”

After a pause, Tanabe Moritake said again: "So tomorrow, it is necessary to ask the base camp to come forward to coordinate with the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and no matter what, we must transfer an aviation team to assist us in seizing the beach!" ”

"Of course it is necessary to ask the base camp to come forward and transfer the air team!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, and said, "However, we must not pin all our hopes on the aviation, otherwise, we will inevitably repeat today's mistakes!" ”

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke continued: "Tanabe-kun, haven't you found anything? ”

"Discovery?" Tanabe Moritake was stunned when he heard this, and said blankly, "What did Your Excellency Commander find?" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke said in a deep voice: "The commander of Shina on the opposite side is indeed very powerful, whether it is the concentrated use of firepower or the choice of the timing of the counter-assault, it can be called impeccable, but after all, the strength is limited!" There is such a saying in China, it is difficult for a good woman to be a disaster without rice, and there is not much left in the army at the moment, I want to see what he will do to resist the imperial army tomorrow? ”

"Soga!" Tanabe Moritake suddenly said, "The Shina army has only had so many troops from beginning to end!" ”
