Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Faced with the persistence of Lieutenant General Uemura Toshichi, Takano Naomi shook his head speechlessly. Unlike the confident Uemura Toshichi, looking at the west bank where the flames were blazing into the sky and the shouts of killing intertwined with each other, he felt faintly in his heart.  There is always a strong feeling of uneasiness. This strange uneasy feeling is the first time he has appeared in China after fighting in China for several years.

    Regardless of whether Takano Naomichi agrees or disagrees with continuing to attack when his whereabouts have been exposed, he is only a commander of the regiment. He only has executive power but no veto power over the division commander's decision, regardless of his intuition and the division commander's decision.  Your Excellency is different. Faced with the stubborn and determined division commander, he can only bite the bullet and launch an attack.

    When they arrived overnight, Li Mingfeng was in a hard fight that night. Before Xiao Yongzhi arrived with the main force, he could only resist tenaciously with a regiment of more than 3,000 troops and relied on simple field fortifications. However, Li Mingfeng did not ask the brigade to do so.  The main force immediately rushed south, and instead sent a telegram to Guo Bingxun, hoping that the main force of the Second Brigade would not rush southward.

    In the telegram, Li Mingfeng wrote in detail the reasons why he did not agree with the main force of the brigade immediately going south to reinforce the Guokui River line. After Guo Bingxun received the telegram, he was temporarily confused by his thoughts.  Confused.

    After receiving a telegram from Li Mingfeng that he discovered the 18th Japanese Regiment on the Guokui River, searched for the main force of the 29th Regiment, and encountered at least three squadrons of the 50th Regiment, Guo Bingxun was also surprised. He opened the map and found that Guo Bingxun was dead.  Staring at the current position of the 29th Division on the map, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this Uemura Toshichi was indeed very cunning.

    He created the illusion that the main force of the Japanese troops on the North Route was still on the front line of the Diaolong River, but he led a reinforced regiment to silently attack the Guokui River. If Li Mingfeng hadn't been alert, this old Japanese would have taken advantage of the loophole. Once he was  If they rush to the front line of Tieshanbao, the danger is not only that the entire next combat plan will be exposed, but Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei will face serious threats.

    What he couldn't understand was that Li Mingfeng, with a regiment composed of mostly new recruits, blocked a reinforced Japanese regiment equipped with cavalry. He would rather fight hard there than let Xiao Yongzhi lead the main force of the brigade to immediately go south for reinforcements.  Guo Bingxun looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly thought that this guy wanted to show weakness to the enemy, and then lure him into a trap again.

    The only question is whether his regiment can avoid being broken through by the 18th Regiment with less than half the enemy's strength on less than favorable terrain, especially when the majority of the entire army is composed of recruits with no combat experience. Can he?  Stick to the three days on the telegram, especially when the main force of the 50th Regiment has not yet joined the battle or even shown up.

    Guo Bingxun looked at the map and fell into deep thought: "Once Li Mingfeng fails to hold on, and the 29th Division breaks through the Liumao River line, the final bottom line set by him for Li Mingfeng, the entire flank of the battlefield will be exposed to the front of the 29th Division.  If we do not want to be passive across the board, we can only change the deployment and send the Du Kaishan Division, which was originally scheduled to be deployed on the eastern front, to go south to participate in the war. Once this happens, the entire next battle plan will be exposed. "

    But Li Mingfeng's entire plan was undoubtedly very tempting for Guo Bingxun. He deliberately showed weakness and dragged the 29th Division between the Guokui River and Liumao River. At the same time, he gradually invested troops, consciously consuming the 29th Division to the maximum extent.  The strength of the regiment means that even if the fighting on the eastern front is tense, it will not be able to transfer eastward.

    Guo Bingxun knocked on the map, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Risks and opportunities coexisted, but the risks were greater than the opportunities. However, at the critical moment of the war, the temptation to hold back a Japanese division from participating in the war was overwhelming.  Guo Bingxun couldn't give up completely.

    Just when Guo Bingxun was looking at the map and hesitating, his train of thought was interrupted by Yang Zhen who returned from Jiamusi overnight. Seeing Guo Bingxun who was rarely hesitant, Yang Zhen took off his military cap and threw it on the table with a smile.  : "What's the matter? What kind of difficulties have you encountered? You are so hesitant and indecisive. It's not like you, Lao Guo. In my heart, you have always been the decisive one."

    Seeing Yang Zhen rushing back, Guo Bingxun waved his hand slightly, and after telling Yang Zhen what he was thinking in detail, he smiled bitterly and said: "No. 1, I have seen through myself, and I am only the material to be the chief of staff in this life.  , when it comes to decisive killing, I am far inferior to you. Not to mention anything else, just for this matter, even though I know that his plan has merit, I am a little undecided. Should I do it?  I agree with his somewhat whimsical idea.¡±

    Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled and waved: "Lao Guo, it's not that you are not decisive in killing, it's just that you think more about many aspects than me. Unlike me, once I make a decision, I will go all the way to the end.  Don't look back even if you reach the south wall. If we were in another position, you would do much better than me."

    Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s evaluation, Guo Bingxun smiled and shook his headThe leader said: "No. 1, we have plenty of time to discuss this kind of thing. Now we have to decide, what about Li Mingfeng's suggestion, how should we make a decision? I think no matter what the starting point of Li Mingfeng's idea is, but after overall calculation,  It¡¯s still very beneficial to us.¡±

    "The biggest doubt now is whether they can withstand the main attack of the 29th Division for three to five days according to his plan. If it were the original Second Brigade, I wouldn't be worried, but now the Second Brigade  The main force is composed of recruits who have never participated in combat. I am not sure whether they can persist. You are right, sometimes I worry too much about gains and losses. "

    Yang Zhen shook his head and did not answer Guo Bingxun directly but said: "Old Guo, the army has expanded now, from a few hundred people at the beginning to more than 100,000 now. You and I can call out every soldier's name from the beginning, and now we are  I¡¯m afraid even a battalion commander wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize him fully.¡±

    "Lao Guo, you and I are in high positions now. I'm afraid we won't be as clear-eyed about everything as before. Do you think we have those commanders directly under them who know about the combat effectiveness of our subordinates? I'm afraid  It¡¯s impossible, you and I only know about the regiment level at most, and the further down you go, the lower your understanding will probably be.¡±

    "Lao Guo, we should have confidence in the abilities of our subordinates, because apart from them, we have no one we can trust. Believing in them means believing in ourselves. In the southern battlefield of Yilan, as well as in Tieshanbao, Tao Jingfei's words,  It touched me a lot, and I think we should give them a certain amount of room to play while keeping the overall situation in mind.¡±

    "We are superiors, not nannies. We have to keep everything in our hands. We should give them a space for them to express themselves freely. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. We cannot always decide everything for them. It is too dogmatic.  , In the end, it is ourselves who are limited. What we need to do now is to adjust our mentality after the situation changes, so that our mentality can develop with the changes in the environment. "

    "For example, we are now like a mother-in-law who has just married a new wife. What we are facing is how to deal with our son and daughter-in-law. After our son gets married and becomes an adult, we should keep our son as close as we did before.  We have to grasp everything in the palm of our hand, and we have to reach out to take care of everything, or we should only help them grasp the big details. This is a question we should think about. "

    "I think we as leaders should grasp the overall situation and let them freely develop the details. When we mention them, it is not because we have more troops under our command. They can be used to show off. They are not the string in our hands.  Puppet, they should have room for their own imagination and expression.¡±

    "As for how to go, it's up to them to decide for themselves. After all, our sons have grown up, and we mothers-in-law should also let go of some details and give them a chance to prove themselves. We can't do it.  Everything is covered.¡±

    Although Yang Zhen's words were not explained, Guo Bingxun heard the meaning. After a moment of silence, Guo Bingxun said: "I understand what you mean. Give them a chance to let go. However, out of caution, I wonder if  Let Xiao Yongzhi lead a regiment behind them and deploy a second line of defense along the Nadan Hadal Ridge to prevent accidents. "

    Yang Zhen walked to the map and carefully looked at the positions of the 29th Division's regiments shown on the map. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Lao Guo, let Xiao Yongzhi leave two battalions behind Li Mingfeng and deploy  When he arrived at the front line of Sifang Dingzi, he took another regiment and secretly went to the line from Hushan to Qiupigou to set up defenses. "

    "Although the movement of the main force of the 29th Division is now clear, I always feel that Toshichi Uemura still has a back-up force. You see, the operation of the 50th Regiment on the southern front will not give me the chance to block the troops.  After the serious injury, it was so simple as the straw that broke the camel's back. You had been hesitant before, and I'm afraid you were worried about this. "

    "Lao Guo, we have been plotting against the Japanese army. In fact, they have been plotting against us. We fought two regiments of the 10th Division before, and then fought against the Sixth Division. Our combat effectiveness and firepower and equipment can be said to have improved.  It¡¯s completely exposed. As the division commander, Toshichi Uemura will not fail to see this.¡±

    "As a lieutenant general division commander, even if he has the same high utilitarianism as the lower-level officers, what he is doing now will definitely not be simply to obtain that bullshit general rank. This person will take such risks.  Judging from the previous battle performance, he is not a simple character. "

    "Diao Long's trick by the river can be concealed even by you, Lao Guo. He is very cunning. I have a feeling that this guy will probably be our most difficult opponent, because this guy  It is clear how to turn passivity into initiative now.This guy's focus is very accurate, and this time it can be regarded as blocking our veins.  "
