    Although Wang Guangyu tightly entangled Matsuzaki Rikio, who had already retreated, making him unable to advance or retreat, the previous bloody battle also exhausted his last strength.  [.Com text] At this time, in addition to the three regiments that were originally the Shelf Regiment, the first brigade that had been fighting hard for many days had two fully-staffed main regiments before the war, a total of 6,000 troops. In addition to the artillery and other regiments,  Excluding non-direct combatants, the number of combatants at this time has dropped sharply to less than a thousand.

    With the exception of the two dissatisfied companies who stayed behind General Shi Yixi, the brigade, which had almost exhausted its last trace of blood after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, was no longer able to launch any attack after Komatsuzaki Rikio retracted its position.  They could only bluff and rely on the few remaining infantry companies with a small amount of combat effectiveness to confront the Forty Regiment, which had also exhausted its effective strength.

    Having exhausted almost all his strength, and finally unable to attack, Wang Guangyu's first words when he saw Yang Zhen again were to replenish his troops.  Looking at Wang Guangyu, who looked extremely haggard due to the huge casualties, Yang Zhen sighed slightly, not knowing whether he should be angry or happy.

    Although Wang Guangyu changed the combat deployment without authorization, Wang Guangyu, who bore almost all the pressure of the 40th Regiment on his own, used the only nine companies at hand to not only almost exhaust most of the 40th Regiment's combat effectiveness in the battle, but also to  It held on tightly, preventing it from retreating smoothly.  This created a powerful fighter opportunity for the main force of the Second Brigade, which was rapidly heading north, to finally complete the encirclement of the 40th Regiment.

    To be honest, the performance of Wang Guangyu and the First Brigade in this battle can almost be described as the mainstay.  If the first brigade had not used mobile defense to hold back the main force of the 24th Division, which had three regiments, and severely damaged its 89th Division.  And at the cost of almost half of the casualties, the combat effectiveness of the field detachment and the 40th Regiment was held back and weakened, so that this battle would not be fought as it is now.

    If it hadn't been for the fact that it had not successfully exhausted the strength of the 40th Regiment at the expense of almost the entire army, judging from the combat effectiveness of the 40th Regiment, even though it had an advantage in terms of strength, it was very likely that it would turn against the enemy.  , you must know that it was not Wang Guangyu who changed the combat plan without authorization and turned assists into main attacks.  As long as the Forty Regiment can free up its hands to support the field detachment on the flank, I'm afraid Liu Changshun's place is still fighting hard.  The battle will progress more slowly, and the number of casualties of the Second Brigade will probably not be the current thousands.

    Although Yang Zhen complained a little about Wang Guangyu's performance, he really couldn't say a word "no".  If Wang Guangyu hadn't changed the affiliation of the first brigade in the battle without authorization and inadvertently made up for the loopholes in his battle plan, even if he won this battle, he would probably only have a miserable victory.

    Yang Zhen was not complaining about Wang Guangyu's aggressive spirit. The subsequent battle process proved that it was Wang Guangyu's competitive spirit that changed the battle plan without authorization.  But it was to make up for the biggest loophole in the battle plan that he discovered after the full-scale counterattack was launched, especially after Liu Changshun's early attack was frustrated.

    But Yang Zhen really felt distressed by the huge number of casualties in the first brigade.  In his words, these are old bones.  It is the old bones accumulated painstakingly from several wars.  Now that there were almost all casualties in this battle, how could Yang Zhen jump on his feet without feeling distressed?

    It hurts, but Yang Zhen also knows that the reason why this battle is so difficult is still on him.  If he hadn't been too young and too greedy for perfection when formulating the battle plan, he would have had to hold on to one kilogram even though he could only eat eight taels.  If they wanted to annihilate all the 24th Division in one go, the First Brigade would not pay such a heavy casualty price.

    After completing the battle plan against the 70th Regiment, if you adopt the strategy of using virtual reality to defeat the main force of the 24th Division, encircling three and missing one, and choose to defeat it instead of annihilating it completely, the casualties will be much smaller.

    Faced with the huge casualties of the First Brigade, although there was no complaint or criticism in Yang Zhen's tone, there was no joy on Wang Guangyu's face. He just said in pain: "Commander, my First Brigade has been exhausted."  The first regiment suffered more than 2,100 casualties, and almost all combatants in the regiment suffered casualties. The second regiment suffered casualties of less than 1,000, and the third regiment, which had the smallest loss, also suffered more than 300 casualties.  The backbone that we painstakingly cultivated during the previous training period was almost destroyed.¡±

    "More than half of the light and heavy machine guns of the entire brigade were lost, and the mountain artillery battalion directly under the mountain artillery battalion had almost only four mountain guns left. One-third of the mortars and infantry guns were lost, and all ammunition was almost used up. The loss is so huge, Commander, the first brigade did not know this time  When can I regain my strength?¡±

    Looking at Wang Guangyu who looked haggard and choked, Yang Zhen sighed and patted his shoulder and said: "Old Wang, don't be too sad. Generals will inevitably die in battle. No matter whether they join the army voluntarily or not, as a  It is also their fate for a soldier to die on the battlefield. I have sent a message to the political commissar. The ten independent regiments and one or two additional regiments formed some time ago will arrive in the afternoon. "

    ? ???These troops will be given priority to replenish you.  Not only will your previous casualties be replenished, but even your third regiment, which originally belonged to the Shelf Regiment, will be replenished at once this time.  In addition, the 200 grassroots cadres who were transferred from the First Brigade to the Military Region Training Team some time ago will all be transferred back to you this time.  "

    Yang Zhen and Wang Guangyu are here to fight for almost all of the first brigade, and they are heartbroken.  Kenji Doihara, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army who had lost contact with the 24th Division for most of the night, could not sit still.  Kenji Doihara has been frightened by the result after the 70th Alliance lost contact.

    The 70th Wing lost contact with them for two days before their plane was sent out to search for them.  However, the planes sent out only found a large number of corpses left by the 70th Regiment on the battlefield. As for the 70th Regiment itself, it was nowhere to be found.  Although it has not yet been found out what exactly happened to the 70th Regiment, but with the corpses of a large number of war dead, and the fact that they have lost contact with them for two days, the outcome of the 70th Regiment is that even Kenji Doihara can think about it with his toes.  You can figure it out.

    Now the 24th Division has encountered the same thing, making Doihara Kenji completely unable to sit still.  If a regiment was lost, he could still explain it to the Tokyo base camp and the Kwantung Army headquarters.  If this was the record of the empire's first division being wiped out since the so-called new army was founded by Emperor Meiji, Kenji Doihara knew what kind of ending he would face without even thinking about it.  The ending of General Ueda Kenkichi, whose position was still above his own, was vividly in front of him.

    After the 24th Division lost contact, Ueda Kenkichi, who was so anxious that he almost got angry, waited until the weather was good enough for the planes to take off and land, and immediately dispatched all the planes at Jiamusi Airport.  The first is to look for the 24th Division and find out what happened to the 24th Division.  Secondly, if the 24th Division really encounters difficulties, the dispatched aircraft can quickly provide fire cover.

    When the reconnaissance plane finally brought the news, Kenji Doihara barely slumped down on the large chair behind his desk after receiving the aviation report.

    The 24th Division originally had various positions. Except for General Shi Yiyi, the two sides were still confronting each other.  There is no trace of activity of the 24th Division troops in other directions.  Most of its original positions have been occupied by anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.  General Shi's 24th Division troops were actually surrounded by their opponents.  As for the original location of the 24th Division Regiment Headquarters, apart from a broken wall, there is no sign of human activity.

    Looking at the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance plane in his hand, Doihara Kenji was puzzled: "How could this happen? Even though the 89th Regiment had withdrawn to Jiangnan to rest due to excessive casualties. But the 24th Division is still  With two entire regiments of troops, how could the situation become so bad overnight?"

    Although I don¡¯t know how the situation could turn upside down overnight, General Shixian, who was almost within reach before, turned around overnight.  The 24th Division, which had an absolute advantage, was suddenly beaten to pieces.  Contact with the division headquarters was lost, and the remaining troops huddled in one place, unable to move.

    But one thing Kenji Doihara knew was that if he didn't find a way to rescue the remnants of the 24th Division, he might have to change his position as commander of the army tomorrow.  Kenji Doihara is quite clear about the character of General Umezu Yoshijiro.  Thinking of this general who seemed silent and silent on the surface, but whose ruthlessness and depth were unparalleled in the army, Kenji Doihara knew that he would bear the blame.

    As for how to get the best ending for yourself now, it depends on whether you can rescue the remnants of the 24th Division.  As for the ending of Lieutenant General Nemoto, Kenji Doihara could imagine it even with his eyes closed.  I am afraid that the lieutenant general and division commander, who has lost contact for most of the night, has already fallen into the arms of Amaterasu.

    Kenji Doihara, who was eager to rescue the remnants of the 24th Division, not only sent three urgent telegrams to General Umezu Yoshijiro to report on the current battle situation.  The lion even opened his mouth, demanding that at least one division of the Fifth Army must be mobilized within two days.  And they asked for a veteran division such as the Second Division or the Eighth Division.  As for the Fourth Division, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, who had already suffered once, was determined not to take it.

    Before getting a reply from General Umezu Yoshijiro, Doihara Kenji, who was going crazy, not only immediately airdropped the password for direct communication with the military headquarters to the trapped troops of the 24th Division, that is, the 40th Regiment.  He just barely took out his pistol and forced Lieutenant General Kumaichi Teramoto, regardless of the pilot's fatigue, and went out with all his strength before dark.  Intensive bombing of the general's stone line was carried out even if all the oil bombs stored at Jiamusi Airport were used up.

    In the opinion of Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji, as long as the remnants of the 24th Division can be rescued, not to mention gasoline and bombs, all the planes at Jiamusi Airport will be lost.?It doesn't matter.

    His idea was good, but the Japanese army¡¯s weak foundation and low production capacity were reflected at this time.  The Battle of Nomenhan consumed almost half of the original reserves, and the Kwantung Army's aviation force, which could only rely on the ready-made and shipped bombs from the Shenyang Arsenal, was simply unable to guarantee the bombs required for such a large and high-intensity bombing.

    The number of aviation units dispatched by the Japanese army that day almost exceeded the number of aviation forces used in Nomenhan. For the battlefield inside the pass, it can be said to be an unprecedented large fleet of more than a hundred aircraft.  There was almost no moment of respite, and the bombing of Shogun Ishi was carried out in turn until the afternoon of that day. Kenji Doihara received a report that was embarrassing to everyone.

    Not counting the aircraft lost due to excessive fatigue of pilots due to frequent take-offs and landings, all the bombs originally stored at Jiamusi Airport have been consumed due to intensive use.  If it cannot be replenished within a short period of time, the bombing operation will have to be stopped.  Now the aviation force can only use the machine guns on the aircraft to carry out very dangerous ground dive and strafing.  All the original medium bombers with large bomb loads and high range have stopped flying.

    After receiving the report from the aviation force, Kenji Doihara almost went crazy.  He even ignored basic etiquette and shouted angrily to his fellow lieutenant general, Lieutenant General Teramoto Kumaichi: "Lieutenant General Teramoto, even if your plane doesn't have bombs, doesn't it still have machine guns? Why did the bombing operation have to stop? Is it possible that all the time?  The lives of the emperors of a division are not as good as those broken planes of yours? Your airmen are just a bunch of idiots, cowards who have disgraced the emperors."

    Lieutenant General Kumaichi Teramoto, who is the same lieutenant general as Doihara Kenji, but does not belong to the same system, and is deeply distressed by the heavy losses of the aviation force, will be annoyed by this.  In response to Kenji Doihara's accusations and abuses, Teramoto Kumaichi showed no sign of weakness and opened his mouth to fight back: "It's none of our business that you infantrymen are fighting like this. We aviation troops have done everything we should do. It's you who are fighting like this."  It¡¯s none of our business.¡±

    "When it comes to idiots, you, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, are the real idiot. Commander Umezu entrusted you with this clearing operation. Even though you had the advantage in terms of troops, you ended up like this. You are not  What is a straw bag? You are not just a straw bag, you are also useless. If you don't go back to your old profession and engage in your conspiracy, what are you going to do to harm the Kwantung Army? You are not qualified to be a commander of the army?  ¡±

    "When I was in charge of the Fourteenth Division, I almost didn't get wiped out by those cowardly China Army generals. Now I've come back to harm the Fifth Army. You really suffered a lot. You are a disaster."

    The two dignified lieutenant generals actually ignored the general's demeanor and cursed each other in front of all their subordinates, leaving their attendants stunned.  Is this true?  The two lieutenant generals actually acted like two shrews. What would others think of the Kwantung Army if word got out?
