Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 188 Japanese Army Resolution (Part [-])
In the meeting room of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters in Laiyuan City, Ono sat at the head of the oval conference table with a gloomy face, and the senior officers, middle officers, and major officers sat on both sides of the conference table in turn according to their official positions.

Of course, the officers of the Imperial Association Army and above are also in the meeting room, but they are all sitting in the corner of the conference table. From this, it can be seen how low the status of the Imperial Association Army is in the eyes of the Japanese army. Neither.

"Now back and forth, Chief of Staff, come and report to everyone the specific losses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army in this battle!" Major General Ono ordered after glancing at the subordinates who all lowered their heads in front of them.

"Hi!" The chief of staff of the brigade stood up.

Then he said in a heavy tone: "General, gentlemen, the losses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army were huge in this battle. Among them, 792 people were killed or missing in the Imperial Association Army, and 787 people were killed or missing in the Imperial Army, plus serious injuries. For the warriors who had to withdraw from the battle, the imperial army lost a whole infantry brigade!"

"Also, the large amount of supplies and ammunition hoarded by the imperial army in the warehouse in the west of the city, as well as the supplies and ammunition hoarded in the stronghold on the street, were all seized by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The other one is the Army Aviation Corps. A bomber crashed during the bombing of the Independence Regiment, and an Imperial Army pilot died!"

"What about the results?" Ono asked, staring at the chief of staff.

Although he had known these data hours earlier, he still wanted to listen to it again, and he also wanted the officers under his command to listen carefully.

"According to statistics, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army lost nearly 2000 people in this battle. However, one thing cannot be ignored. Among the 2000 people lost by the Independent Regiment, at least 400% were recruits who had just joined the Independent Regiment, real veterans. Certainly no more than [-] people!"

"That is to say, the Independence Regiment can be regarded as more than half of the casualties at most, and they haven't even been seriously injured!" Ono asked with a gloomy face.

"Hi!" replied the chief of staff!

"Our intelligence agents lurking in the Independence Regiment's station sent out a report today. There are still more than 1000 people in the Independence Regiment who have returned to their garrison. Including the recruits who stayed at the garrison, the total strength of the Independence Regiment is still nearly 3000!"

"More importantly, the Independence Regiment seized a large amount of our weapons and ammunition during this battle, including many heavy weapons. As long as they are given time, the Independence Regiment may have the same combat effectiveness as before!"

"Baga!" Ono finally couldn't hold back and cursed loudly.

"Have you all heard it! Our opponent, the Independent Regiment, is getting stronger and stronger as we fight. As for us, we had a total strength of 1 people more than half a month ago, but now it has dropped to 3000 people directly, and the remaining To 7000 people, one ebbs and another, do you know what this means?"

"If this situation continues, we will be eaten up by the independent regiment bit by bit! The whole Laiyuan will become the base of the Eighth Route Army!"

Ono's mood improved a lot after cursing. After taking a deep breath, he turned his attention to his subordinates again.

"You are all the best officers in the Empire of Japan. When fighting on the front line, each of you has made great achievements. Now facing the Eighth Route Army, which is not as equipped as the Central Army, why do you fail again and again? I want to know the reason , everyone has to speak!"

The chief of staff stood up first.

"General, I think it's intelligence. On the battlefield, without accurate and timely intelligence, we will have no way to fight, and we will suffer a lot!"

The director of the intelligence department, Nakazuo Yamamoto, immediately stood up and explained: "General, the intelligence department is indeed responsible for the failure of this battle. Please punish the general. But I promise that this will never happen again in the future. Now I have Start planning to strengthen the ability to collect intelligence on the independent regiment. For at most half a month, every move of the independent regiment cannot escape the surveillance of our intelligence department!"

"Then I'll give you another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!" Faced with Yamamoto's firm gaze looking at him, Ono finally compromised.

Next to the chief of staff, a lieutenant commander stood up: "General, I think there is another reason! The recruits that the military department supplements us, although they have undergone long-term training, they have little combat experience, and most of them are first-class recruits. The first time I went to the battlefield, the reaction speed on the battlefield was too slow, and it was easy to panic. I thought that we should further strengthen the training of the troops!"

"Yoxi! Is there any more!" Ono nodded in approval of the proposal, and then continued to ask.

"We don't understand the Eighth Route Army, we underestimate the enemy!" A major captain stood up.

"In the past, when we fought with the Central Army, they were all head-on decisive battles. With our superior firepower, we always fought against them on the battlefield. But the Eighth Route Army is different. They are too cunning and never engage in direct decisive battles with us."

"Many soldiers are facing such an enemy for the first time, and they are very unfamiliar with fighting!"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army never plays its cards according to common sense in war. Whenever there is a chance, they will come up to bite us. By the time we want to fight back, they have disappeared without a trace. But once we relax, the cunning Eighth Route Army will come up again. They will pounce on us and attack us!"

"In addition, the Eighth Route Army also likes to concentrate its superior forces and firepower in wars of annihilation. Whenever there is a chance, it will concentrate several times its troops and firepower to attack us, so that the warriors will not even have a chance to return their phones!"

"General, to deal with such an enemy, I think that we can't copy the method of dealing with the Central Army like before, we must think of a new method!"

Major General Ono immediately became interested, then stared at the other party and asked, "Qiu Shui-jun, as far as I know, your subordinates suffered a lot in this battle. However, the results of the third brigade are also the most among all infantry brigades. .To be able to play so well, you must have your own unique insights. Tell me, what new ideas do you have!"

"Beizhi believes that what we need to do most now is to stand still and continue to train troops to further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"Since the Eighth Route Army likes to fight guerrilla warfare and wars of annihilation, we just don't give them this chance!"

"What's next!" Ono nodded in approval of Major Qiushui's proposal, and then continued to ask.

"When the troops have formed combat effectiveness, and the intelligence department has figured out the true strength of the independent regiment, we can gather heavy troops and directly attack the independent regiment's lair."

"With so many troops in the Independent Regiment, the daily consumption is very huge. They must have material warehouses and ammunition depots in their garrisons. For the Eighth Route Army without logistical supplies, these warehouses are their lifeblood. We directly attack their lifeblood Son, even if the Eighth Route Army doesn’t want to fight us, we will force us to fight!”

"As long as the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes out, we will have a decisive battle with us. I am confident in my humble position, with the powerful combat power of the Imperial Army, coupled with the air support that the Army Aviation Corps may provide at any time, we will definitely win the battle in the end!"

"If the Independence Regiment abandons its garrison and supplies and hides in the mountains, how can we eliminate them!" Ono's face had already revealed an invisible smile, and then he continued to ask, staring at Major Qiushui.

Shao Zuo Qiushui, who had thought about it long ago, immediately replied: "If we give up the garrison and supplies, they will run out of food. As long as we trap them in the mountains, they will definitely find a way to break out when they are hungry and cold. As long as they come out, a decisive battle will be inevitable."
