Most of the circumstances of this battle, because all the parties were killed, it will never be clear that is a later story. However, the attack on the regimental headquarters of the 7th Division and the annihilation of the whole army, coupled with the casualties of the previous senior officers, caused irreparable chaos to the Japanese troops in front.

In any case, since the Seventh Division crossed the Xila Murong River and entered the territory of the Alukorqin Banner, there were very few times when the radio communication of the whole division and regiment was unimpeded. If it is said that the radio communication between the 7th Division and its subordinate units can still be intermittently connected.

Then the communication between the 7th Division and the two divisions in front of the Linxi battlefield, as well as the army headquarters in the rear, and the general headquarters of the Kwantung Army were basically not unimpeded. On average, the amount of time you can make contact per day adds up to less than half an hour. So no one paid much attention to the complete interruption of radio contact. It is believed that this is just another measure adopted by the Anti-United Nations.

However, at this moment, almost the 7th Division and the Japanese troops on the front line of Balachrude were also cut off, and all the wired telephones for communication were also cut off, which plunged the entire troops on the front into a certain amount of confusion. The few remaining commanders of the 7th Division on the line from Balachrude to Ao Han Yingzi could not be calm in any case.

It's not that the remnants of the Japanese army are completely in chaos. With the strict battlefield military discipline of the Japanese army, the ability of middle and lower-level officers to control the troops, and the level of daily training. It's not that when it's not attacked, it's just a ball of headless flies, and the sheep are completely herded.

Judging from the current control power of the junior officers of the Japanese army, as well as the consistent obedience of the Japanese army, there is still no such thing as a rout before a battle in the Japanese army. The loss of command from above was not an unacceptable thing for the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese army, which was still at its peak, was still extremely capable of fighting on its own.

It's just that at this moment, all the combat forces in front of us add up to less than two brigades. Even the mess of baggage soldiers, engineers, and artillery that lost their artillery, all the troops, taken together, barely reached 3,000 people. With such a small number of troops, the Japanese troops who were still scattered in front of the two key points of Ao Han Yingzi and Balaqirude, as well as the line from Balaqirude to Baichengzi and Niji, were a little overwhelmed, or did not know what to do.

These Japanese soldiers did not know whether they should hold on to the spot, retreat, or prepare for a final attack by all Jade Crushed according to the last order of the chief of staff before the communication was cut off. The most critical thing is that there is no direct order from the division and regimental headquarters. Whether it was Balaqirude or Ao Han Yingzi, the only remaining frontal positions of the Japanese army, no one was qualified to give combat orders.

At this moment, the Japanese troops on the front line from Balaqirude to Aohan Yingzi have basically lost their unified command after the two wing commanders who participated in the battle were all killed. In particular, the Japanese troops in the direction of Balachrude were originally composed of a small number of remnants of troops that had been withdrawn after several failed assaults in the direction of the stone table, and the remnants of the troops responsible for Balachrude's frontal attack.

The strength of less than 2,000 troops is divided into six units of different formations. With the addition of non-combat troops, the strength of the troops can barely make up the size of more than two brigades. However, there is not a single officer at the level of wing commander who can coordinate the operation of these forces.

There are only two characters at the level of the captain of the wing, but it is a pity that these two guys are the acting captains of the baggage team. In order to coordinate the breakthrough in the direction of the stone table and the supply of ammunition and supplies for Balakirude's frontal offensive, he escaped by going to the front line at the request of Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki.

This guy was originally an instructor at the Army's Heavy Duty Academy, and this time he came to Alukorqin Banner with the Seventh Division just to inspect the battlefield supplies and gain some experience in the logistics support for the southward operation that he was preparing. The reason why he was able to serve as the commander of this wing was because the commander of the Seventh Division, who was in charge of the enemy bombardment during the enemy bombardment during the daytime yesterday, went up to the west with a truck from one of his baggage squadrons.

When no one was available, he was appointed by the division commander as the acting commander of the baggage wing. This old man, after graduating from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and studying at the Heavy Duty Military School, has not been on the battlefield for a day. So although it was Nakasa, his opinion was basically ignored.

Because in the Japanese Army, which has always despised logistics and supply, there has always been a saying that if heavy soldiers are also soldiers, then dragonflies are also birds. Not to mention a guy who hasn't been on the battlefield for a day? Although this guy has the highest military rank, how many other people will allow him to point fingers here?

As for the other Nakasa, I'm sorry that it's the head of the military medical department of the division. He came because he was trying to investigate the troops on the battlefield, and after encountering that strange shell bombardment, a large number of officers and soldiers who had escaped the shelling died of suffocation. Strictly speaking, this guy is not a soldier, and he has no say in how to fight the next battle.

As for the captain, there are quite a few, there are as many as three and a half people, and these three captains all have the same military ranks, all of them...... Not counting the front of the Ao Han camp, except for the only infantry brigade that the Seventh Division is still intact at the moment, just on the front of Balaqirude, there is a Shaozuo captain, plus a Shaozuo deputy commander of the search wing.

If we add the operational staff officer of Shaozo who is assigned to supervise the battle under a division and regiment, there are only three officers at the level of Shaozo in the front of Balachrude. When the three Shaozo are gathered together, there is naturally no problem in normal times. After all, there are several officers at the level of captain in each wing.

However, in the absence of more than a higher level commander can command together, if there are three commanders at one point, then it is obviously redundant. In this case, the result is the same for most of the time, which is to create chaos rather than form a unified command.

This situation is not to mention the Japanese army, but also the army of any country. Three officers of the same rank are grouped together, and there is no officer of even the higher rank in the middle of the command, or openly orders that unit be assigned to the command of another.

The only possible scenario for this force is that there will be multiple commands. Everyone is of the same rank, and no one can help anyone, and the result is to plunge the troops themselves into chaos in the command structure. The deputy wing captain, although he is barely considered a wing captain, is a deputy, and he was suddenly promoted before this battle.

So no one treats this guy as a superior, or as an equal. Because according to the practice of the Japanese army, those who hold the deputy position in the wing are basically at the same level as the captain. If this guy is attached to the wing, then he is at the same level as the squadron leader. The difference of one word is such a result.

Although there is a strict hierarchy in the Japanese army, the subordinates must fully carry out the orders of the superiors. But at this moment, the Japanese army, which was already leaderless, had no place to look for their superiors. And the rest of the people who have a little power, everyone is at the same level, that is to say, no one can command anyone.

This raises a rather serious question, who to listen to next? The staff officer who came down to supervise the battle of the division and regiment chief of staff, who was absolutely confidant, believed that the order of the chief of staff before losing contact should be strictly carried out and preparations should be made for the attack of all jade shatters.

And the other two dudes, one wants to retreat. In his opinion, since he is now unable to fight, he must either withdraw to the direction of Baichengzi to find the division headquarters. Or simply withdraw to the place of departure to maintain the remaining troops. In his opinion, continuing to attack without follow-up attack ability and support can only be a dead end.

The deputy wing commander of the search wing, who retreated, put forward this for his own work. Because he knew quite clearly that the current Seventh Division could no longer fight. According to the requirements of the chief of staff of the division and regiment, only the last bit of strength could be exhausted.

Moreover, with his keen sense of smell, he felt that the Chinese would never let go of such a small remnant of the Seventh Division. Therefore, he believes that using the enemy blockade line behind him is far from building a chance to complete. Concentrate the remaining forces and retreat south with all your might.

As for the unrealistic idea of the so-called jade shattering attack, let the chief of staff, who has now lost contact, do it himself. He couldn't tie up the few people in the entire Seventh Division to his so-called chariot for the sake of his own intentions and shameful thoughts.

The deputy wing commander of the divisional search wing is a student of Naoaki Tomita at the Army University. I still know a lot about my teacher's personality and personality. Therefore, he clearly knew why his teacher insisted on concentrating the remaining troops and launching the final jade shattering attack on the line from Balaqirude to Ao Han's camp.

And the other one who is a little less courageous is also the only serious captain in the face of Balakirude. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he still wanted to stick to the spot and at the same time, send people to find the division headquarters in order to get the exact order for the next move.

And before finding the division headquarters, in view of the current situation, it is more appropriate to shrink the whole army into a piece and wait for reinforcements or wait for orders from the superiors. In his opinion, retreating on his own without the order of his superiors is an unauthorized action against the orders of his superiors. As an Imperial officer, one should not go against the intentions of his superiors like this.

This group leader has not been mixed in high-level organs, and he has not had much contact with those bold combat staff officers, and his courage is still relatively small. For him, the strict rank in the Japanese army and the severe punishment for disobeying orders for middle and lower-ranking officers made him a little taboo.

In fact, among the three people, it stands to reason that the divisional combat staff officer does not have direct command authority. An operational staff officer does not have the right to directly command combat units under any circumstances. If those two guys who directly command the combat troops don't bird him, he doesn't really have any options.

However, this old man is the confidant of the chief of staff of the division and regiment, and if the responsibility is investigated after the war, the future of these two captains will be in jeopardy. Moreover, in the Japanese army, staff officers have always been bold figures. These young staff officers, who think they are omnipotent, come up with the strength of two hundred and five, and dare to do anything.

These fanatical staff officers have not been less likely to dismiss their commanders without the authorization of their superiors. Not to mention that the two in front of him are just a deputy wing captain and a team leader. Even if they are facing the co-captain, they dare to do it.

This is because they are just staff officers at the division and regiment level, and they are still a little taboo within themselves, and if they change the army staff officer or the staff officer of the Kwantung Army, they will dare to do this even at the level of the chief of staff of the division and regiment. If the staff officer of the base camp is changed, it will be even more lawless.

So although this old man did not have a single soldier except for one of the guards who came by his side. But the two captains still couldn't turn a deaf ear to his opinion. Because these two captains were afraid that he, like his colleagues, would come up with that momentum, and he would not care about anything and toss up the remaining troops.
