Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the ridge on the left side of Shentou Ridge, the main attacking Japanese army was defeated by the Chinese and Indian troops. When it was rare to advance, near the small village where the remnants of the Japanese 19th Regiment were besieged, the guard troops also attacked the 19th Regiment from the east and west directions.  The remnants attacked all afternoon.

    The 19th Regiment built relatively solid defenses based on the trees, streams and ruins in the small village. After an afternoon of probing attacks, the units of the 2nd Guard Division suffered more than 300 casualties, but made no progress.

    Since the 19th Regiment had defensive fortifications to rely on, its fighting spirit was high, and after repelling several attacks by troops from the 2nd Division, the remaining officers and soldiers of the Regiment became more determined to resist.  If the 2nd Guard Division wanted to quickly invade the village and annihilate the Japanese army, it would have to pay an extremely heavy price.

    Therefore, at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Guard Commander Huang Congli, the Deputy Commander Lu Liwei and others, after discussion, ordered the troops of the 2nd Division to temporarily stop attacking the Japanese army.  Several leaders of the 2nd Division immediately came to the military headquarters to hold a military meeting to discuss strategies for annihilating the 19th Regiment.

    At the beginning of the meeting, Yang Yucheng, the commander of the 2nd Division, first reviewed his poor command, which led to continuous setbacks in the attack. The Japanese army did not kill a few, but his own troops lost more than 300 people.

    Then, Yang Yucheng put forward two lessons learned from the afternoon battle to deal with the shrinking Japanese army.

    At the end, Yang Yucheng said loudly: "Commander, let our 2nd Division continue to be the main offensive tomorrow. Although our division's attack was frustrated, the morale of the officers and soldiers was not affected. As long as we can get the cooperation of mortars tomorrow, our army will  We will definitely be able to greatly compress the defensive area of ??the 19th Alliance and wipe out the entire Alliance as soon as possible."

    "The fighting over Shentou Village has not officially started yet, and the situation is unclear." Lu Liwei shook his head and said: "Our army's artillery shells are transported from the headquarters. They are very precious. We cannot invest the artillery shells in position attack battles."

    "Yes," Huang Congli said calmly: "The Japanese army that has built fortifications is like adding teeth to a toothless tiger, which is very lethal. If you rely solely on infantry attacks, it seems that if you want to eat the Japanese army in front of you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,  This can only be achieved by paying several times the price of the enemy.¡±

    "According to the combat literacy and fighting will shown by the Japanese army, even if mortars are used to attack immediately, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the Japanese army in a short time." Zhu Yixuan, commander of the 1st Division, frowned and lowered his head sadly: "This time I  The army was unable to annihilate the 19th Regiment during the movement and allowed the remnants of the Regiment to gather and build fortifications. This was all caused by my improper command"

    Before Zhu Yixuan finished speaking, Huang Congli interrupted him and said sternly: "The Japanese 19th Regiment has a very strong combat effectiveness. The 1st Division can annihilate most of it, which is pretty good."

    After a pause, seeing Lu Liwei and others nodding in agreement, Huang Congli continued: "After the remnants of the regiment have gathered to break out of the small village, if I order an attack overnight and do not give the regiment a chance to breathe, I can do so with the smallest possible force.  The cost is to destroy this remnant army. Therefore, at this point, I bear the greatest responsibility."

    Zhu Yixuan wanted to say more, but Lu Liwei said loudly: "Everyone is responsible for the war being fought like this, so you should stop arguing about who is right and wrong. As long as the experience and lessons are summed up, this war will not be in vain.

    Based on the current situation of the Japanese army, we absolutely cannot conduct a forceful attack in the name of tempering our troops.  In this case, the casualties will be unbearable for us. As long as they are besieged for a few days, they will panic due to lack of food. By then, whether they break out or hold on, they will be dead.

    Therefore, if you want to easily annihilate the Japanese army in front of you, the most critical thing is whether the Chinese and Indian troops stationed in Shentou Village can block the follow-up troops of the Japanese army." Read the latest and most complete novel http://eng.com/
