Chapter 277: Counterattack
"Soldiers!" After visiting the soldiers who had been wounded in the battle, Villitt stood in the middle of a crowd of American GIs at about eight o'clock and said, "You are the heroes of the United States, and you are the pride of the United States!" You see...... The place where we are standing was the position of the Japanese for a few hours, and now they have been driven away by us! Of course, there is still a part that did not run, but it has become a corpse! ”
The American GIs let out a burst of laughter in cooperation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a pause, Villit continued: "Look! You have proved with your actions that you are not easy to mess with, that you are no worse than the Chinese army, and of course, no worse than any army in the world. In fact, if we are given a goal, we can conquer and defeat any opponent......"
Just as Villett was giving an impassioned speech to the American GIs, the Japanese army made a move.
Koji Kimura and Nakatani had a not-so-heated argument about this offensive time.
"Your Excellency!" Koji Kimura said to Nakatani Kawakami: "I think we should attack after midnight, because as we all know, this is the time when the enemy sleeps the most soundly, and at the same time when they are most guarded!" ”
"I don't think so!" Nakatani Kawakami replied, "Kimura-kun, do you know that the Americans have just changed their commanders?" Do you know who his new commander of the Americans is? Do you know what his nickname is? ”
Hearing this, Koji Kimura couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't know this.
Seeing Koji Kimura's appearance, the corners of Nakatanigawa's mouth raised proudly...... He knew early on that this Koji Kimura wanted to climb on top of him, and he was prepared to give this Kimura a dismount.
As for what is the preparation...... In fact, it is just to capture a prisoner of the American army and then interrogate him to find out a little information.
"The commander of the American ghost beast is called Willett!" Nakatani Kawakami continued, "His nickname is 'Strict Smith,' which means that this commander is very strict. So...... Kimura-kun, it is conceivable that under the command of Willett, it is very likely that the Americans will meticulously do every job by midnight, which is obviously not good for us! ”
"But ......" Hearing that Koji Kimura was already running out of words, or that he was a little caught off guard, Koji Kimura still said strongly: "If this American commander ...... If it were as strict as His Excellency Osa said, then the Americans would be ready around eight o'clock, wouldn't they? And most Americans hadn't slept at that time, isn't that even more detrimental to us? ”
"Nope! It's good for us! Nakatani Kawakami shook his head: "First of all, the Americans will think that they have won, so it is very likely that they will choose to celebrate at this time, that is, when the war of the day is over!" At this time, their guard is most lax. Secondly, we are attacking from within the American line, and the more we do this, the easier it is to cause their confusion! What's more important is ......"
Speaking of this, Nakatani Kawa whispered a few words in the ear of Koji Kimura.
Hearing this, Koji Kimura nodded convincingly, and responded: "Yes, everything is in accordance with the arrangement of His Excellency Osa!" ”
In fact, what Nakatani Kawagami said was not a clever plan, but a tactic that the Japanese had used many times before, that is, camouflage and infiltration.
But there is a saying on the battlefield: "No matter how old and stupid the method is, as long as it works, then it is the best way!" ”
What's more, the tactical method of "camouflage and infiltration" proposed by Nakatani Kawakami is, strictly speaking, neither old nor stupid. The reason is that at this time, the various conditions of the Japanese army were very suitable for "camouflage and infiltration".
The first condition, of course, was that there were many Japanese troops hiding in the tunnels in the area occupied by the American army, and the American army did not even know about it. In other words, as long as the Japanese army gets out of the tunnel, they can actually start an infiltration war.
The second condition is that Japan's opponent at this time is the Sino-American coalition, which means that there are Chinese and Americans, although the Chinese and American armies are mostly separated...... But in fact, it is not completely separated, although the defense area of the Chinese troops is in the "wolf's horn", but the US army's battle needs a steady stream of ammunition and supplies from the "wolf's horn", so the US army's engineers go back and forth between the two defense areas, and even because the US army's engineering capacity is insufficient, some Chinese soldiers are also helping to transport.
The third condition is that China and the United States do not understand each other's languages, and it is still night.
So this gave the Japanese army a good opportunity, an opportunity to infiltrate the US army disguised as the Chinese army.
In fact, it should be said that Nakatanigawa is still a little less daring...... If he thinks about infiltrating not only the US military but also the Chinese troops, then he may achieve greater results.
But Nakatani Kawakami was photographed by the prestige of the Chinese army, knowing that the Chinese army was not easy to mess with, on the other hand, the appearance of the Japanese could only be disguised as Chinese, which was also easy to be recognized by the Chinese, so Nakatani Kawakami gave up this idea.
Nakatanigawa's idea was to implement Koga Mineichi's strategy of "defensive counterattack", which would try to delay the enemy's attack as quickly as possible during the day, and launch a counterattack at night to compress the enemy's space or even drive the enemy into the sea.
Nakatani Kawakami felt that it was possible to compress the enemy's space, as he felt that it would not be a big problem to deal with the Americans in close combat. But drive the enemy into the sea...... This had to face the Chinese troops that he was very afraid of.
Although he can be said to have only fought with the Chinese troops once, this time it was to catch them off guard when the Chinese troops landed...... Regarding this battle, Nakatani Kawakami said to his subordinates: "In this battle, the Chinese troops took advantage of the landing of the "harvester", which the Japanese army did not expect, and under normal circumstances, the Japanese army can undoubtedly defeat the Chinese army!" ”
But in fact, Nakatani Kawakami knew that these words were just to comfort his subordinates. When he saw the appearance of the Chinese troops chasing after the Japanese army, Nakatani Kawakami only thought of a word he had learned from Chinese history books: "The army of tigers and wolves!" ”
(Note: During World War II, many Japanese officers studied Chinese history and the art of war.) )
Therefore, Nakatanigawa's goal for this battle is to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Chinese defense zone on the basis of compressing the enemy's space, that is, defeating the US army. Of course, it would be better if the Chinese forces could be routed and the Sino-American coalition forces could be driven into the sea!
