Anti-Japanese Jedi Player

Chapter 148 Who is to blame?
At the end of January 38, the northern front of the Republic of China was still fighting fiercely. Although the Japanese army gave up a large-scale offensive due to logistical reasons, the interspersed small groups of troops still caused headaches for the defensive troops on the frontal battlefield.

The rear of the Japanese-occupied area also became lively at this time.

The Japanese army's first raid on the Jinchaji base ended in failure. The sweeping troops of more than 1 people had a total of more than [-] casualties. The combined troops of several divisions had to retreat to various towns along the railway line.

After the ambush in the Windy Valley, the 344th Brigade, which had tasted the sweetness of winning with firepower, took advantage of the victory and launched another ambush. Although the result this time was not as great as the first time, it relied on thousands of rounds of 60 mortar shells and several With the intensive firepower of ten light and heavy machine guns, a brigade of devils was still beaten in disgrace, leaving more than 200 corpses and fled. However, the 344 brigade only injured 50 people and killed 27 people, including 31 minor injuries and 19 serious injuries.

The important town of Laiyuan.

This is where the 109th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army and the 19rd Regiment of the 3th Division of the Japanese Army are stationed.

The 109th Division has been stationed in Chahar for a long time. It is the second-line division of the Japanese army. As a second-line division, and the station is stable and there is no fighting, the most important thing the 109th Division does is to further train recruits.

Among the recruits trained in Japan, China, or North Korea, many of the outstanding ones will be directly sent to various divisions for direct battlefield experience, and those who are not close to it will be photographed and sent to the second-line garrison division, that is, the 109th division. While strengthening training, they can also properly participate in small-scale guerrilla operations in the local area, and once these recruits mature, they will be sent to other divisions to enter the front-line battlefield.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the 109th Division has always been one of the worst even among the second-tier divisions.

Because of this, in the face of a situation where nearly half of a brigade was wiped out, and even the captain of the brigade was shattered, the 109th Regiment of the 6th Division did not receive much punishment, but only received a scolding telegram. The famous stepmother in the army, the soldiers of the 109th Division are all defective products left by others, not to mention, even the weapons are mostly the remaining defective products of the Kwantung Army, and the headquarters is too embarrassed to punish them too much.

This is like the worst son in the family. Although he made a mistake, he can only say a few words.

But the 19rd Regiment of the 3th Division was different.

It is now completely capitalized miserable.

As a permanent division of the 19th Division, its 3rd Regiment not only has high-quality soldiers, but also veterans who have participated in many wars, and is well equipped. Each brigade is equipped with two intact infantry artillery, and the wing has a mountain artillery squadron directly under it.

所以在第3联队的一个大队也被344旅一个峡谷伏击揍的阵亡了200多人，受伤100多人的情况下，两次大队级部队被伏击而且伤亡惨重的锅便一齐飞到了19师团第3联队头上，来自司令部的各个责骂和惩罚便翻倍飞来。

Snapped···

A lieutenant general whipped the whip heavily on the captain of the 3rd regiment, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on the captain of the [-]rd regiment, who was only wearing a thin white shirt. It was a whip, and this whip hit the captain's back directly, and another fresh bloodstain appeared.

The aggrieved captain of the 3rd regiment could only grit his teeth and lower his head to bear silently.

After whipping two whips, the head of the No.19 Division, whose anger had eased a little, held his whip tightly and pointed to the casualty report on the table.

"An hour and a half"

"In the face of the Eighth Route Army lacking in weapons and equipment, a brigade of your 3rd Regiment only survived for an hour and a half, and 237 imperial soldiers were killed, and even the brigade leader was seriously injured."

"This is one of the seventeen permanent divisions of the empire's elite?"

"Others' miscellaneous brigade made up of a bunch of recruits lasted for an hour, and managed to withdraw more than half of them. How about you?"

"A group of trash is only a little bit better than other recruits."

"..."

Throwing the whip in his hand, the head of the 19th Division cursed angrily.

Keeping his head down, he didn't speak until the head of his own division gasped for breath and stopped scolding.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I do not deny that because of my lack of vigilance, I put the troops in danger and were ambushed, and the low-level discipline was not good, which led to the low combat effectiveness of the troops. This is an undeniable fault. Please punish the Division Commander."

"but"

Having said that, the regiment leader raised his head immediately, and looked at his own division head.

"One of the main reasons for the failure of this operation was intelligence errors"

"The information given to us by TGK is that the enemy nearby is only half of the 119th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with only a main force of less than 6000 people, and the firepower is sparse, and ammunition is seriously lacking."

"But the actual situation is fundamentally different. There is nothing wrong with the number of people. The opponent is indeed only a brigade of the 119th Division of the Eighth Route Army, but the opponent's light weapon firepower far exceeds that of a brigade of the Imperial Army. In these two ambush battles, the opponent fired more than 8000 rounds." Mortars, and all kinds of light and heavy machine guns are full of ammunition, and there is no such thing as the past tactics of rushing to fight bayonets immediately after a round of shooting."

"And the main reason why I formulate the tactics of the brigade acting alone is that the enemy's firepower is sparse and the ammunition is seriously lacking."

"According to Tegoco's intelligence, even if the enemy ambushes a brigade with all their forces, it will take at least five hours to resolve the battle, and within five hours the main force of the alliance has enough time to come to support"

"But the intelligence was wrong, so it's not surprising that the battle failed"

After speaking, the captain lowered his head again.

"Eight thousand mortar shells?"

Hearing this number, the head of the division was visibly surprised.

The two ambush battles lasted only two and a half hours in total, and [-] mortar shells were fired within two and a half hours, although this number is also a very high number for the Imperial Japanese Army.

And he has also fought against the Eighth Route Army many times, so he naturally knows the firepower of the Eighth Route Army. According to past experience, the firepower of a brigade can be compared to a brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and even the heavy weapons of the Imperial Army Brigade are all-round superior.

This firepower is definitely not the Eighth Route Army, is it their so-called Central Army?
"The information is accurate?" The division chief asked with some doubts.

"It's absolutely true. I went to the battlefield to investigate on the spot, and the shells used by the opponent are of extremely high quality. They are not cast iron mortar shells, but shell shells made of cold-forged gun steel," the regiment leader added.

"Your alliance should be repaired in Laiyuan first."

"I'll go and talk to Tegaoke." There was a faint flash of anger in the eyes of the head of the division.
