Chapter 395: The 16th Brigade Regiment
The atmosphere here of the Great Wall regiment is relaxed.
But the Eighth Division was overcast.
The only two major generals, plus five or six major lieutenants, including several junior lieutenant captains who had been recalled from the front line, had been studying and discussing around the temporarily piled up sand table for a long time.
Like an ant on a hot pot, the restless Tanibe Terumi gave full play to the essence of Huaxia's "three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang", and summoned a bunch of stinkers to analyze and demonstrate the future battle situation.
But discussion comes and goes, and no one can figure out the intentions of the Chinese.
According to common sense, there is no benefit in confronting the 8th Division in the field.
Yes, the 8th Division is now short of heavy weapons, but just now Major General Tanibe has sent an urgent telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters requesting support from the 6th Air Wing, and the headquarters has already called back, as long as the weather permits tomorrow morning, there will be a group of more than 15 bombers to come to support.
The Eighth Division, which can have the strength of air support at any time, no one believes that the Chinese commander on the opposite side does not know. A commander who can't even think of this is not worthy of a ten-day confrontation with the Eighth Division.
Well, until now, the top and bottom of the 8th Division are still unwilling to admit that they have been defeated, they have only lost a little bit in the course of the confrontation.
Unless he thinks that this bad weather will continue forever, the air support of the 8th Division will never come, but, is that possible?
Unfortunately, you guessed it right, this bad weather will last for half a month. If Liu Lang is here, he will definitely reassure those stinkers. Although they have no air support, their mouths are really poisonous.
In the past time and space, this bad weather lasted for half a month, and the Japanese invaders without air support encountered much more stubborn resistance than they had imagined. Their tens of thousands of troops had broken through the Great Wall defenses in early April, but until May, the fighting continued on the land of Beijing and Tianjin. The Kwantung Army was forced to transfer the 14th Brigade of the 28th Division stationed in Heilongjiang to the front.
After the war, the Japanese headquarters believed that if the weather was not too bad and the Sixth Air Wing could participate in the battle, the victory in the war would have been at least twenty days earlier. Although the Chinese side does not admit it on the surface, it has no choice but to recognize this statement in private.
In the northern skies of China, there are no planes belonging to China, not a single one.
Liu Lang kicked hard in the ass of history, slightly changing the rut of history a little. However, he can't change the wind and rain created by God, and the bad weather has started yesterday.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Lang dared to chase out of Luo Wenyu's pass. Since yesterday, the little devils, like them, have become pure infantry, and no one in the big guys has planes.
The "stinkers" also believed that the arrival of the baggage brigade was also the key to the victory of the battle, not only to send enough shells and bullets, but also to carry two months' salaries with them, which was also a strong agent for the soldiers who were already extremely tired.
Money, for ordinary Japanese soldiers who are also from the toiling masses, the stimulus is not ordinary.
But where is the damn baggage squad? Since yesterday they had sent an inexplicable message, they had disappeared again.
"Akiyama Shaosa, can you tell me in what direction is the signal for that bastard Yuji Nagano to disappear at the end?" Tanibe Teru stared at the person in charge of the communications section with bloodshot eyes.
"In the southeast direction, the distance, it will not be more than a hundred miles." Shao Zuo stood up and reported respectfully.
"Yo Xi, Akiyama-kun, you're good." Terube Tanibe nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
During this period, the location and distance of the radio station can be regarded as high-tech. The Japanese army communications department is already trying, and, apparently, the results are fruitful.
"Your Excellency Tanibe, we should send someone to pick up the heavy brigade, and if we can, arrive at the division before our planes arrive tomorrow morning, at that time, the Chinese will know the strength of the Imperial Army." A Shaozo stood up and suggested.
"Yo Xi, Qing Shui-kun is reasonable." Tanibe Terube nodded, agreeing with Shaozo's statement when it came to his heart.
At the same time, I added ten points to this Shaozuo captain in my heart, and he definitely belongs to the category that can be promoted.
"Then let the Tanaka Brigade of the 16th Brigade Go! They still need to be repaired. Kunizo Matsuda, who has not spoken, suggested.
"Okay, then the Tanaka Brigade will pick up the baggage brigade, and order Tanaka Shaozo to try to take the baggage brigade back to the division before noon tomorrow." Tanibe Terumi twitched his face and immediately ordered.
Although Matsuda Kunizo's words were already very polite, as the chief of staff of the Eighth Division, Terube Tanibe still felt hot on his face.
The so-called Tanaka Brigade of the 16th Brigade is actually the combatable soldiers of the entire 16th Brigade, and the rest are either killed at the Luo Wenyu Pass or lying in the field hospital. It's not so much that they need to rest, it's that they're no longer fit to stay on the front lines because they're demoralized, and it's better to let them go out and swim around the others.
Tanaka Shaosa, who was not qualified to come to the meeting, was already one of the three remaining Shaosa of the 16th Brigade.
However, Terubei Tanibe was still somewhat grateful to Matsuda Kunizo, and if it continued to be placed on the front line, in case the Chinese launched an attack at night and crippled this brigade of only more than 800 people, then the 16th Brigade would be left with the two or three thousand wounded with broken arms and legs.
A whole brigade of nearly 7,000 people, and in the end, all those who went back were lying down, whether dead or alive, that would become another super big joke in the history of the Eighth Division.
The Fourth Brigade has been completely wiped out, and the 16th Brigade is all lying down and going back, although the division commander Nishi Yoshiichi is worse than death, and Tanibe Terubei, as the chief of staff, is definitely not much better.
At the thought of holding a command knife and making a cross cut on his belly and then waiting to die of pain, this terrible pure technical work that combines courage and stupidity beckoned to him, Tanibe Terubei's face couldn't help but twitch again. He lifted his spirit and stood up: "Because of the enemy's advantage in artillery, our army suffered a small defeat in today's battle, but the Imperial Army is invincible, and our army will win tomorrow." At the same time, tonight we need to strictly guard against the enemy's sneak attack with the help of night, and when our imperial eagle appears tomorrow, it will be the time for our army to counterattack. Gentlemen, Wuyun is prosperous. ”
"Hey." All the Japanese officers stood up, bowed their heads heavily, and accepted the blessing of the Supreme Commander.
Although I don't have too much bottom in my heart.
A group of 800 Japanese troops, that is, the 16th Brigade under the command of Kan Nagawara, the most unlucky man in the history of the Japanese army, quietly broke away from their positions and headed for the Great Wall Mountains dozens of miles away.
Go and pick up the baggage team that has all been used as roadbeds.
The rookies who had already hidden all kinds of materials in Qinglong Mountain had all changed into the uniforms of the Japanese army and the puppet army.
Both in terms of warmth and visual effect, it is much stronger than the tattered clothes worn by the bandits and the people before.
Whether from far or near, there is a large group of devil soldiers and two devil soldiers.
As long as they don't speak.
