As usual, the Japanese guerrillas assembled in the dark of night and then tried to sneak into the US military base along the road to carry out a sneak attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as the saying goes, "the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high", the Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army had already lurked to the side of various highways to blockade the highways.

As a result, groups of Japanese guerrillas stepped unsuspectingly into the trap set by the Chinese army......

The Chinese army made a lot of gains that night, ambushing small groups of Japanese guerrillas from more than 10 directions, wounding and killing more than 800 Japanese soldiers.

These 800 people may not be much for the entire Battle of Okinawa, but more importantly...... The U.S. logistics unit and the airfield were hardly harassed by the Japanese army during the night.

Geiger couldn't believe what he had heard when he heard this result the next day, and he asked Zhang Chi, "Wow, Major General, how did you do it?" ”

"It's easy!" Zhang Chi replied: "This is called 'waiting for the rabbit' in China, we are just ambushing on the road and waiting for them to appear!" ”

Geiger nodded silently, at this time he really believed that Roosevelt made sense...... These Chinese are indeed very familiar with these Japanese tactics, not only do they know that there are many countermeasures, and these countermeasures are precisely the shortcomings of the US military.

The Japanese guerrillas were ambushed by the new 1st Division, and they not only suffered great damage but also faced a very serious problem...... Is this going to be a strike or not to be attacked?

Attack, there may be a large number of enemies lurking on the roads, mountain roads, and even in the wilderness, and they will wait for the Japanese guerrillas to pass by and inflict heavy damage.

Don't attack...... Do you just hide in the jungle until the war is over? Isn't that the same as not having guerrillas?!

Intelligence from the front flew like snowflakes to the desk of the Japanese commander Mitsuru Ushijima, who frowned as he looked at the information...... For some reason, the enemy seems to have suddenly found a countermeasure against guerrilla warfare and "anti-slope" tactics, is that Lieutenant General Geiger so powerful?

Not really!

Ushijima had already found out that the newly appointed commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Geiger, was originally a pilot, and he could not have known these tactics.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" At this time, Staff Officer Chang Yong hurriedly walked into the headquarters, handed over a telegram and said: "We have found out, it is Chinese troops...... Relaxation! ”

Ushijima took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help but suddenly realize: "It turned out to be him, what a powerful guy!" As soon as he became chief of staff, he took the initiative! He is worthy of the person who defeated Kurita-kun! ”

The Kurita-kun mentioned by Ushijima Mitsuru refers to Kurita Tadamichi who is stationed on Iwo Jima, Ushijima Mitsu and Kurita Tadamichi are friends, and they actually cherish each other because they know that each other has real talents and learning...... In fact, the two of them were also the two Japanese officers who inflicted the greatest casualties on the U.S. military in the Pacific Theater.

At this time, by mistake, Ushijima Mitsuru actually met the opponent who defeated Kurita Tadamichi again.

In fact, there are many similarities between this battle and Iwo Jima...... In the Battle of Iwo Jima, Kurita Nakado was shrewd and wise, and he strictly ordered the battle line to be retracted and not to launch a jade crushing charge, hoping to exchange every soldier for an enemy casualty, but there was a Motoda Nakatsu who did everything possible to show his "courage".

Similarly, Ushijima Mitsuru also strictly ordered the preservation of living forces, in order to "exchange one person for one enemy or one person for a tank", but his most powerful assistant, Chang Yong, did not agree with Ushijima Man's approach!

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Staff Officer Chang Yong said, "I want to say...... We actually learned these tactics from China, and the Chinese probably know the advantages and disadvantages of these tactics better than we do. So, it's not going to be useful if we keep it like this! ”

"Say whatever you want, Chang Yong-kun!" Ushijima said, "It's the last minute, you don't have to hide your inner thoughts!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Staff Officer Chang Yong said: "I don't think we can hide in a cave like cowards and be wiped out by the enemy one by one, especially at this time...... The commander of the enemy's 10th Army has just been killed by us, and the morale of the American troops is low and our morale is strong, and they all want to rush out and drive the American ghost animals back to the sea. ”

It should be said that there is still a certain amount of truth in the words of Staff Officer Chang Yong, after all, the supreme commander of the US military was killed, which will affect the morale and command of the US army in any case, and at the same time, the US army and navy are not compatible, which will also cause problems in coordination, if the Japanese army counterattacks at this time...... Maybe we can crush the U.S. military.

In fact, this is not only the meaning of Staff Officer Nagayu, but the Chief of Staff Umezu Mijiro also gave the order for a counteroffensive after learning that the commander of the US Army, Buckner, was killed, but Ushijima Mitsuru disdained this order and did not take it seriously at all...... This is the character of Mitsuru Ushijima, who he thinks is correct, and he doesn't care what his superiors say at all.

So sometimes the Japanese are really a contradiction...... It is not difficult to find examples of resolute obedience to orders in the Japanese army, and it can even be said that the discipline of the Japanese army is better than that of the German army. But at the same time, there is no shortage of counterexamples of the Japanese army...... For example, Motota Nakatsu did not obey Kurita Tadamichi's orders before, Ushijima Mitsuru did not obey Umezu Mijiro's command, and Staff Officer Nagayong did not agree with Ushijima Mitsuru's command, etc.

The reason for this is that too many Japanese generals have lost their minds under the influence of militaristic ideology, or the so-called "bushido" spirit, and blindly emphasize heroic combat on the spiritual level, ignoring the gap in equipment between the enemy and us, and fantasizing that they can win with spirit.

On the contrary, if it does not conform to their crazy and extreme ideas, they will be labeled as cowardly and cowardly.

For example, Ushijima at this time...... Staff Officer Changyong didn't say anything in his mouth, but he actually thought in his heart that Ushijima was full of age and boldness.

Ushijima didn't know what Staff Officer Changyong was thinking, which was why he let Staff Officer Changyong have something to say.

Ushijima himself knew that he was the only one who was sober, so even if he was under the double pressure of his superiors and subordinates, he couldn't launch a counterattack according to their wishes...... Just kidding, a counteroffensive means facing the enemy's tanks, warships, planes, and artillery, and even if the US Army and Navy are not compatible, even if the US military is demoralized, these random items are not something that the Japanese army can afford.

But Ushijima Mitsuru knew that he couldn't convince Chang Yong's staff, so he could only reply: "No need to say more, Chang Yong-kun, do as I order!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Chang Yong replied helplessly.
