War of Resistance

Chapter 1255 Fighting the New Wall River ([-])
After hearing the chief of staff's words, Inaba Shiro put down the pen in his hand and began to think quietly.

Seeing that the head of the division was already thinking about the problem, the chief of staff simply didn't say anything, but just waited silently.

After a long time, Inaba Shiro said: "We are waiting for huge casualties, but the same is true for the China Army. There are not many China Army that can produce such elite troops. Ushishima-kun suffered a loss on the front line, and we We also stumbled in Yuankou Town before, but now that the reinforcements from the No.20 Seventh Division have arrived, we can give it a go.”

"Your Excellency, division commander, is wise, so next, should we deploy troops to support the operations of the commander of the Udo brigade?" asked the chief of staff.

"That's not necessary." Inaba Shiro shook his head, "What we have to do is to mobilize the troops of Honma Yaharu's division commander to approach the front line on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, and let our powerful enemy - the No.15 Army of the Chinese Army The troops dare not act rashly, and then we will mobilize another regiment to be ready to support Ushishima-kun at any time, and put all our artillery regiments on it! Regarding the artillery regiment of the No.20 Seventh Division, I will discuss with Ben The head of the Jian Yaqing Division conducted consultations. In addition, coordinate the air force to bombard the positions of the Chinese Army in the area!"

"Hay! The commander of the division is wise!!" The chief of staff responded with his head bowed. From his eyes, he could see the word "fanatic". Yes, they are ready to fight a large-scale local battle !

That's right, it is a large-scale local small battle. The word is definitely not wrong. From the perspective of the large battlefield, it is definitely a local battle and a small battle, but from the perspective of the Sixth Division, it is another battle that has dispatched the entire division!
(PS: Cough, cough, seeing this, some children’s shoes may have doubts. Why is the Sixth Division so severely weakened? Popular science, why the Sixth Division can fight all the way from the Yangtze River to the outskirts of Wuhan. There are mainly three Reasons: First, the Sixth Division, as the main force in the middle, almost strengthened three artillery regiments and several regiment-level detachments; It is some local army plus the miscellaneous troops in the Central Army; third, the Sixth Division has the artillery support of the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet, and they used poison gas bombs.)
Compared with the "aggressiveness" of the Sixth Division when it fought all the way to Wuhan on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the current situation has changed. The artillery wing strengthened for the Sixth Division is gone, and the naval artillery support of the Yangtze River Fleet is gone. It was the guards of the Ninth War Zone, a direct descendant of the Central Army with excellent equipment and strong will to fight. Therefore, in this battle, not only Mitsuru Ushijima fought cautiously, but Shiro Inaba also looked highly on it.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that with the strength of their Sixth Division, they stormed for a day, and their own side paid nearly 2000 casualties, but the opponent's first-line positions were not taken. This is a big problem.Therefore, Inaba Shiro also made great efforts.

……

About two hours later, in anxiety and suffering, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru finally waited for the division commander's reply.

Looking at the contents of the telegram, Major General Ushijima Man changed his previous anxious appearance, but asked his subordinates to bring two bottles of sake and a few plates of peanuts, and then called two captains.

Yes, Niu Daoman is going to continue the wine table culture, and he will explain tomorrow's combat missions at the wine table.

……

Niu Daoman was full of interest, but the officers and soldiers of the Special Service Company of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone of the National Army who were in charge of monitoring the implementation of the mission were puzzled.

In their view, the Japanese army might make a big move tomorrow, but their officers and soldiers looked like they were all right. They should eat and drink, and sang songs around the campfire, as if they were all right.

"Company commander, I don't think these little devils are going to make a big move tomorrow. We have watched many little devils and conducted a lot of reconnaissance, but the Japanese army of the Sixth Division looks the most Evil door. Their troops neither retreated nor built a defensive line on the spot, but acted like nothing happened, eating hot pot and singing songs, which is not generally happy." A platoon leader said when reporting to Liu Houming.

Regarding the opinions of the platoon leader, Liu Houming held a different view. He shook his head and said, "Look carefully, I suspect that they will make a big move tomorrow. It's so easy, it's all because they feel they have a chance to win."

The first platoon leader thought about it, and felt that this was the same reason, so he nodded and said, "The company commander is wise, it must be you. No wonder the group seat put you in this position so reassuringly."

"Tuanza once told me that we must never underestimate any enemy. We are beggars with our heads pinned to our trouser belts. Don't lose your life because of slack thinking or underestimating the enemy. These little Japanese beasts Hey, we do hate them, we have a bloody feud with them, but they are quite good at fighting." Liu Houming chatted one after another, anyway, the little devil is not doing anything now, and he is idle Why don't you just chat?
"Company Commander, you said that we are waiting now, and we are idle, why not go up and give them a hug?" The first platoon leader was indeed a little itchy. The devil is so happy, he feels unhappy.

Liu Houming's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and said, "You are crazy! The task given to us by the group is to keep an eye on them, but we didn't let us expose it now. If our whereabouts were revealed, everyone in all directions would be thieves." Devil, we can't escape. Besides, our ammunition supplies haven't caught up yet, so how can we escape when it's easy to fight?"

"Hey hey hey... that's right, but we see them so happy, and if we don't find them something to do, we always feel a little uncomfortable in our hearts!" The first platoon leader was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

I saw Liu Houming's eyeballs rolling around, and then he came up with a bad idea: "If you really don't have enough time, you can take a few brothers up to see if they have peed, and if so, do it." One quasi, isn't this what we often do?"

I saw a row of long grins, and the two rows of big white teeth were particularly obvious in the dark night: "Commander Xie! I promise to complete the task, and if there are not ten of them, I will never come back to see you!"

"Come on, you kid, pay attention to safety. If nothing else, you have to bring back all these brothers, and don't make trouble for us." Liu Houming patted a row of long heads in feigned anger. .

"Okay, order!" The platoon leader grinned again.

PS: Another update is here, good night.
