I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 62: Intentional Sinister
At that time, the main force of the 3th Brigade of the 5rd Division was led by Major General Riichiro Katayama, head of the brigade.

Together with the main force of the division, it is advancing towards the SH urban area.

Riichiro Katayama is riding a tall horse, leading a group of adjutants, arrogant and high-spirited, about to enjoy the glory of occupying the largest city in the Far East.

At this time, a communications lieutenant suddenly ran quickly from behind and caught up.

He stood at attention and saluted Katayama Riichiro: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, there is an urgent call from the division headquarters."

"What instructions does General Fujita have?" Katayama Satoichiro asked after reining in his horse.

The communications second lieutenant said: "The headquarters orders the general to mobilize the entire 5th Brigade to move into the Four Lines Warehouse and take over the attack on the Four Lines Warehouse!"

"Nani?" Satoichiro Katayama asked with a look of surprise on his face, "Isn't the Sixing Warehouse being attacked by the Canginaga United Team?"

The communication lieutenant said: "General, the 6th Wing's attack failed."

"What's going on?" Katayama Riichiro asked in bewilderment: "Kura Nagatatsu has a main infantry regiment, but he can't take down a mere warehouse?"

The second lieutenant of communication said: "General, the telegram from the division headquarters stated that Colonel Tatsuji Kuraga was killed in battle and died for His Majesty the Emperor.

The 6th Infantry Regiment also suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements.

Therefore, the headquarters ordered us to rush to Sihang Warehouse to take over. "

"Bagaga Road!" Katayama Sato Ichiro was furious after hearing this.

This 6th Infantry Regiment is one of the two main infantry regiments under his 5th Brigade.

Cang Yong Chenzhi is one of the two capable generals under his command.

A main infantry regiment, nearly [-] people, went to attack a four-row warehouse, but the sword fell into the sand, not to mention the heavy losses.

Now even the commander of the regiment, Tatsuji Kurunaga, died in battle. This news was so shocking that it was hard for Riichiro Katayama to accept.

In a fit of rage, Riichiro Katayama didn't even bother to take another look at the bustling urban area that was so close at hand.

Turning the horse's head directly, he ordered in a stern voice: "Order the 68th Infantry Regiment and the troops directly under the brigade to stop advancing immediately.

Turn around quickly and rush to the Sixing Warehouse at full speed! "

"Hay!" All the Japanese officers present nodded their heads.

……

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Riichiro Katayama led his men to the offensive position of the 6th Infantry Regiment under the Bank of Communications Building.

Before him, the captain of the 68th Infantry Regiment Takamori Takashi had led more than 6 main force of the regiment to arrive first, and took over the position defense of the [-]th Regiment.

Upon learning of Riichiro Katayama's arrival, Takashi Takamori immediately took his chief of staff and others out of the temporary command post to greet him.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." In the open space outside the temporary command post, Takamori Taka stood in front of Katayama Riichiro's horse and took the lead in standing at attention and saluting.

Katayama Riichiro glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the battlefield in the distance where the gunpowder smoke had cleared.

As well as the majestic Sixing Warehouse, he asked, "Mr. Eagle Mori, how is the situation here?"

Takamori Takamori hurriedly stood up and replied: "General, the 6th Infantry Regiment has lost more than [-] troops, and its organizational system has been disabled.

Basically lost its combat effectiveness, but the Chinese defenders in the Sixing Warehouse did not take the opportunity to counterattack.

Therefore, the offensive positions and the commanding heights around Sihang Warehouse are still in our hands.

The humble job has ordered the various teams to take over the position here, and can launch a new attack at any time. "

Looking at the devastated battlefield full of bomb craters and dead bodies.

Riichiro Katayama did not rush to order the attack, but got off his horse and walked straight to the temporary command post.

After rushing all the way, Katayama Riichiro had calmed down the anger in his heart and gradually calmed down.

Especially after visiting the front line and seeing the tragic battlefield conditions on the ground.

He understands more calmly that he can no longer act impulsively, he must first understand what Cang Yong Chenzhi and his 6th Infantry Regiment have experienced.

So, when Takamori Takashi and others followed in.

He suddenly turned around and asked, "Takamori-kun, have you figured out why the 6th Infantry Regiment's attack failed?"

A major staff officer behind Takamori Takashi quickly took out a document and handed it to Riichiro Katayama.

Facing Riichiro Katayama's puzzled gaze, Takamori Takamori explained: "Brigade Commander, this is the battle summary report of the remaining members of the 6th Regiment.

It contains the entire process of their attack on Sihang Warehouse and their defeat. "

Riichiro Katayama took the document and read it carefully.

Looking up at Takashi Takamori, he asked, "Kun Takamori, you should have read all the documents, right?"

Takashi Takamori nodded and said, "Yes, General."

"Then what do you think about this?" Riichiro Katayama asked.

"General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, considering the terrain and environment of the Sixing Warehouse, the imperial army can only invest less than a thousand troops in each attack.

And because of the existence of the British and American concessions, the imperial army's superiority in navy, air force, and heavy artillery firepower could not be brought into play.

This greatly hindered the imperial army's attacking ability!
In other words, in fact, we have no obvious advantage over the Chinese defenders in the battle to attack the warehouse.

Even, the defenders of China have a geographical advantage, have a solid warehouse to rely on, and are waiting for work.

With many unfavorable factors superimposed, it is not surprising that Cang Yongjun and his 6th Infantry Regiment failed to attack. "

Katayama Riichiro nodded slightly when he heard this, raised his hand and said, "Well, keep talking."

Takamori Takamori was also not polite, and continued to state his opinion: "As for the death of Cang Yong-kun and the huge casualties of the troops, it is really a bit unexpected.

However, this also proves one thing, that is, the warehouse defenders have extremely strong defensive strength.

Under the background of many unfavorable factors, it is really unwise to attack by force! "

"Then what do you mean?" Riichiro Katayama raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Takamori Takashi with a cold gaze.

Takashi Takamori was not afraid, but bowed his head slightly to show respect.

He continued: "To sum up, I suggest that we adopt the tactic of surrounding Sihang Warehouse without attacking it.

At present, the 10th Army has successfully landed from Hangzhou Bay and is threatening the retreat of the main force of the Chinese Army in the Songhu area. In this battle, the enemy's defeat is certain.

At that time, the entire Songhu will fall into the hands of the imperial army, and the remnants of the Chinese army in the warehouse in front of them are actually already vulnerable.

We just need to besiege and not attack, just being trapped can trap them to death!

It is completely unnecessary to take the lives of the warriors of the imperial army and attack rashly, because that will only increase the casualties in vain. "

Katayama Riichiro frowned and said: "But, the division headquarters ordered our department to take down the Sixing Warehouse as soon as possible to avenge the shame of the imperial army."

"General, I think the so-called revenge is nothing compared to the lives of thousands of imperial troops!"

"We really can't commit the crime of making unnecessary sacrifices for a group of remnants of the Chinese army who are destined to be unable to escape!

Although our imperial warriors are not afraid of death, they still have to sacrifice more valuable things. "

Takamori Takashi's words obviously moved Katayama Satoichiro.

I saw the old devil pacing back and forth for a while with a frown on his face, and finally made up his mind and adopted Takamori Takashi's suggestion.

Immediately ordered: "Yingsen-kun, order all troops to strengthen firepower and security, and strictly seal the four-row warehouse.

In addition, we can't be idle, we must find a way to hit the morale and fighting spirit of the remnants of the warehouse guarding the enemy as much as possible.

The most important thing is to boost the morale of our imperial army.

The disastrous defeat of the 6th Wing had a great impact on the soldiers of the 5th Brigade! "

Takashi Takamori thought for a while, then said in a deep voice with a fierce look in his eyes: "Captain of the brigade, there is a good solution for this humble position."

"What way?" Riichiro Katayama asked.

"Our department captured many Chinese soldiers in previous battles, and I suggest that they be executed in public.

It is used to deter the remnants of China in the warehouse, so as to damage their morale and disintegrate their will to resist!
Let them see what will happen if they dare to go against our Imperial Japanese Army! "

Takamori Takamori said with a grim face.
