Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Takeuchi Shinji asked: "Senior Hasegawa, why are you laughing?"

Hasegawa Shigeo smiled and said, "Takeuchi, I want to ask you, what is your job?"

Shinji Takeuchi was stunned for a moment, and said, "My job is the captain of the No. 20 Fifth Regiment of the Ninth Division." Shinji Takeuchi thought in his heart after speaking: "What's wrong with Senior Hasegawa? Why are you asking me this?" question?"

Shigeo Hasegawa smiled and said, "Takeuchi, are you wondering why I asked you this question?"

Takeuchi Shinji said: "That's right, Your Excellency, Head of Division, your scheming is far-reaching, and your subordinates really can't guess it."

Shigeo Hasegawa said: "Takeuchi, the purpose of my asking you this question is to remind you that you are a regimental captain and the supreme commander on the battlefield. You have to jump out of this battle and look at this battle from the perspective of the entire battle situation. ,Do you understand it?"

Takeuchi Shinji asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean?"

Hasegawa Shigeo said: "You said that the aircraft of Lin Yuan's army cut off your transportation route, and the first tank regiment in Huangshiling was in danger of running out of ammunition and food, then let me ask you, do you still remember our first battleship? The strategic purpose of the Ninth Division?"

Takeuchi Shinji said: "Of course I remember, that is to attack Lin Yuan's troops in Chongjin, and lure Lin Yuan's troops in Meixiangli to dispatch, let the [-]th Division capture Meixiangli, and rescue the besieged Second Division in Hamgyong Mountain .”

Hasegawa Shigeo said: "Takeuchi, you are right. I let your regiment go deep alone, just to sell a loophole to Lin Yuan's troops, so that they have the idea of ​​besieging you. Now their troops are in the Huangshiling area. You just happen to Go to attack them, fight fiercely with them, they will besiege you, our follow-up troops will keep up with the troops attacking Lin Yuan, so the strength of Lin Yuan's troops will be stretched, and the defenders in Meixiangli will naturally be mobilized Come out, do you understand?"

Shinji Takeuchi said hastily: "It turns out that this is the case. The subordinates understand that it is the commander of the division who has far-sighted considerations! I will deploy offensive measures."

After Shinji Takeuchi finished speaking, he put down the phone, and said to his subordinates, "Go and invite Tetsuro Tange, and the three captains of the infantry regiment, as well."

Not long after, everyone came to the command room, Tange Tetsuro wondered: "Didn't I just go out of the command room just now? Why did you call me in again after so long? And it seems that Takeuchi Shinji has a well-thought-out plan." Look, has he already thought of a way to transport ammunition to the troops in Huangshi Ridge?"

At this time, Shinji Takeuchi said: "I just had a phone call with Commander Hasegawa, and he instructed us to launch an attack on Lin Yuan's troops outside Huangshiling, so that we can achieve our strategic goal, so I decided, All out to attack Lin Yuan's troops in Huangshiling."

Everyone nodded, Takeuchi Shinji said: "I set the departure time at seven o'clock tonight, and I will arrive at Huangshiling at about twelve o'clock in the evening. After arriving at Huangshiling, all troops will rest for four hours before launching an attack. Understand Yet?"

Several captains nodded one after another, and Shinji Takeuchi asked at this moment: "How will you tell your subordinates about this after you go back?"

A team leader stood up and said: "Of course we must do a good job of publicity and mobilization before starting the war. Our warriors are all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. As long as we use the name of the Emperor to inspire the warriors, the warriors will all die."

Shinji Takeuchi shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no, after you go back, you must tell the soldiers and officers under you that we are going to retreat this time, not to attack."

Everyone was surprised and said, "What? Why did you do this?"

Takeuchi Shinji said: "Haven't you noticed that the situation is wrong? How did Lin Yuan's aircraft unit know about our dispatch? How did they know about our anti-aircraft artillery position? I suspect that we are already full of Chinese people Eyeliner, we said we were going to retreat, just to listen to those eyeliner, do you understand?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and nodded in agreement. At this time, Tange Tetsuro said: "Captain Takeuchilian, let's all dispatch, what about our anti-aircraft artillery brigade?"

Takeuchi Shinji said: "After the battle starts, Lin Yuan's aircraft troops will definitely be dispatched to attack our troops. You will follow the troops and set off to provide support and cover for our troops."

Tange Tetsuro said: "Okay, I understand." Several Japanese officers returned to the camp and began to prepare. They told the troops to pack up the supplies at [-] o'clock in the evening and prepare to retreat. The Japanese officers and soldiers were puzzled. They all said: "Our transportation team was destroyed by Lin Yuan's troops a lot. We haven't avenged this big revenge. How can we retreat?"

Several captains did not answer, and the subordinates did not dare to disobey their orders, so they began to pack up supplies and prepare to retreat. The Japanese army’s supplies were very convenient to pack up. Transporting the packed supplies to the back meant retreating, and transporting the packed supplies to the front meant attacking, so The Japanese army could "withdraw openly and attack secretly".

The actions of the Japanese army were soon known to the Koreans who were working as handymen in the Japanese barracks, and they reported the situation to Lin Yuan's intelligence agents, who immediately notified the news to Congcheng, who heard the news There is a feeling of being shocked, because the large Japanese infantry unit did not fire a single shot during the entire battle, so it is really not the style of the Japanese army to retreat like this.

But Congcheng didn't think about the tricks of the Japanese army. What he thought was: the Japanese army must think that they are not opponents of aircraft, and the No. 20 Fifth Regiment is in a deep position alone, so they decided to retreat and join forces with other troops. So Congcheng decided to consume the Japanese army in the mountains for another day, and wait until their combat effectiveness weakened before continuing to attack.

So all the units of the third brigade camped according to the scheduled plan that night, and the Japanese army changed direction when they came out of Jinshui Village, and rushed towards Lin Yuan's army. The defense line of the troops launched an attack at four o'clock in the morning. The Seventh Regiment was stationed in this direction, and the Seventh Regiment immediately exchanged fire with the Japanese army.

Zhu Mingzhi, the head of the Seventh Regiment, reported the news to Congcheng immediately after the battle began, and Congcheng immediately understood: the Japanese army said that the retreat was a trick of "clearly repairing plank roads and secretly hiding Chen Cang", so they ordered all troops to hold the line of defense first, and then Consider offense.

Zhu Mingzhi pointed out in his report: the number of Japanese troops is large, and it seems that it is not a small group of troops to harass, but a large force to launch an attack, so he notified Shen Xin, the commander of the first division, from the city, and Shen Xin thought in his heart: " It seems that the Japanese army wants to come here in Huangshiling to make a big deal, well, we will have a good fight with them here in Huangshiling!"
