The Republic of Heroes

Kuribayashi Tadamichi was undoubtedly brave, but unfortunately he chose the wrong opponent. Just as he raised his command knife and charged with a hiss, the large troops of the 57th Division arrived.The left wing of Miyake Miyake's infantry brigade was completely disintegrated, and the cavalry rushed straight into the cavalry of Kuribayashi Chumichi, which dealt a severe blow to Kuribayashi Chumichi who was preparing to form a charge.There is almost no power to fight back.

As cavalrymen, although Kuribayashi Tadamichi's subordinates were brave, they did not have any advantage. Facing the equally brave cavalrymen of the 57th Division, they were also flesh and blood.

The 57th Division quickly divided them before the Kuribayashi Chumichi Cavalry Brigade could react. Kuribayashi Chumichi was at the front of the team. He had no choice of turning back, because his cavalry had already launched an attack, so even if he wanted to pay attention to the changes behind him, it was already too late. No matter what, this charge must be completed anyway. If the Chinese People's Army, which is almost at the end of its strength, is successfully crushed, the outcome is really unknown!

The idea was good. If Sun Baiguang's security brigade had indeed reached its limit and morale continued to drop before the reinforcements from the 57th Division arrived, Tadamichi Kuribayashi's attack might have succeeded.But unfortunately for him, the reinforcements came at this most important moment, and the morale of the security brigade suddenly increased.Unexpectedly once again blocked Kuribayashi Chumichi's fierce blow.

This attack was unsuccessful, and the situation began to become more complicated for Kuribayashi Chumichi. First of all, he and his cavalry were in an embarrassing situation, with the Chinese militia in front of them like a dog's skin plaster. After the last attack failed, they changed Adopt the tactic of fighting hard, if you advance, I will retreat, and if you retreat, I will advance.This kind of tactic is really difficult to deal with, and there is no feasible way to deal with it even if Kuribayashi Chumichi gritted his teeth with hatred.

Although the security brigade was difficult to deal with, after all, its combat effectiveness was limited and it was severely injured in the battle. It was impossible to cause substantial damage to the two brigades.The frightening thing is that the cavalry of the 57th Division who came for reinforcements should have a full brigade in terms of size.

In this way, the balance of power between the two sides on the battlefield changed reversibly. When the Chinese army only had one security brigade and one security regiment, both Tadamichi Kuribayashi and Miyake Miyake struggled to fight, not to mention the reinforcements of the elite regular army. Follow-up troops should be on their way to the battlefield in a steady stream.

In contrast, the morale of the Japanese army gradually became sluggish due to the moment when the war entered a stalemate or even a disadvantaged state.Under the ebb and flow, the situation began to get worse and worse for the two ambitious major generals who have been trying to use this battle as an advancement.

Whether to fight hard, or play it by ear and withdraw from the battlefield to preserve strength and avoid large-scale contact and conflict with the regular Chinese army, the traces are still exposed, and the surprise advantage of this battle has disappeared.If you turn around at this point, you will probably be wiped out by the Chinese army on the road. This is something Kuribayashi Tadao and Miyake Miyake will never allow to happen.

However, if they are no longer wiped out by the Chinese army on the way to escape, then they will have to be wiped out by Li Zejun's Seventh Division on the way to the end.This is a multiple-choice question with the same result no matter which option is chosen.

Of course, the two major generals are still unaware of this at this moment. They have communicated and readjusted their teams to prepare for a counterattack against the Chinese army's surprise attack.First of all, the situation of Kuribayashi Chumichi was rather difficult, because he was interspersed by Chinese cavalry when he moved to charge Sun Baiguang's security brigade, so he couldn't take care of him in the end.Therefore, the primary problem he faces is how to carry out an anti-segmentation and anti-interspersion of the Chinese army.This did not bother him. At this time, the conceit and adventurous spirit of the senior commander of the Imperial Japanese Army was fully revealed.

After Kuribayashi Chumichi was divided, the cavalry at the rear gave up joining with the head. Instead, they turned around and turned to the right wing of the Chinese cavalry, and then harassed and detoured all the way to the rear to launch an attack.Thus, a beautiful anti-segmentation is successful.

At the same time, Miyake Miyake gathered the rout of the left wing, and at the same time ordered the complete right wing to detour to the rear of the security brigade like Kuribayashi Chumichi's cavalry brigade, and also gave it a surprise surprise attack.

The two Japanese commanders, who had never cooperated before, cooperated seamlessly tactically, just like veterans who had partnered for many years.If this risky tactic succeeds, the situation on the entire battlefield will once again be reversed.

Just when Kuribayashi Tadao's rear-winged cavalry successfully detoured to the rear of the Chinese cavalry, the sound of gunshots and shouts of charging came from behind them, and it was the infantry brigade of the 57th Division that had arrived.

As a result, the Japanese army changed from almost anti-separation and anti-outflanking of the Chinese cavalry, to being divided and outflanked again.For a while, the danger of the situation was even greater than just now.

Compared with Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who was in trouble, Miyake Miyake went relatively smoothly, because Sun Baiguang's security brigade and Chen Sanshui's security brigade had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. I can watch them move quickly in the gap between the two armies on the battlefield.

The battle between the main force of the 57th Division and the Japanese army was concentrated on its left wing, and Miyake Miyake's right-wing army joined the battle group, which improved the Japanese army's combat effectiveness to a certain extent.The two sides began to enter a stalemate again, and neither side could win the other in a short period of time.

Just when Kuribayashi Tadao and Miyake Miyake were entangled with the 57st Division of the [-]th Division in Linzi County, Okamura Neiji, who was in Ye County, also began to become impatient. The battle that he thought would be very easy became extremely difficult.He didn't know what method the Chinese had used to withstand the three attacks of his Ninth Division by relying on the dilapidated city wall of Ye County.

This even aroused Neji Okamura's competitive heart, and he began to change his siege strategy.

The previous three attacks were focused on one point, but he soon discovered that the Chinese people could always quickly gather at the point he attacked to counterattack, and achieved incredible success in the counterattack.Therefore, he decided to divide into multiple ways to blossom in all directions, and no longer invest too many combat troops in the limited battle front.Instead, the combat troops were evenly distributed across the entire city wall. He did not believe that the Chinese army, which had undergone several shellings and battles, still had enough strength to take care of all directions.

With one order, the tactics of blooming from all sides began, and Neiji Okamura began his most difficult siege battle in history in an extremely retro way.Of course, what he didn't know was that it was his decision that turned on the meat grinder for the entire battle!
