Text Chapter 393 Three captains with different thoughts

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    But for Kunisaki Noboru, who thought that his deployment was quite appropriate, he didn't know that his ideas were a bit too taken for granted. He only considered the issue of air defense, but did not take into account the terrain of the Alukorqin Banner, except for the western part.  In addition to grasslands and deserts, most areas are dominated by hills and low mountains at the southern foot of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

    Of course, five kilometers on flat ground is nothing. Not to mention the well-trained Japanese soldiers, even ordinary people. As long as they are younger, it basically takes less than an hour to run five kilometers. But on this kind of terrain,  Five kilometers may be separated by several hills.

    Ordinary people understand the truth of running to death in the mountains. A forced march can cover five kilometers on flat ground. However, on this kind of terrain, you need to climb several hills, even when the mountain road is in poor condition.  Next, we may have to take a detour of more than ten kilometers.

    According to what he thought, Kunizaki Noboru's plan was almost a perfect arrangement, but it was actually messed up by the somewhat messy terrain of the local area. They were advancing hand in hand. A brigade was on this side of a mountain ridge. He  The neighboring troops might have to be located several hills away. In this geographical environment, even the use of radios is often affected and restricted by the terrain, not to mention the cooperation between the various regiments.  .

    In addition to the terrain, he also didn't know that his opponent was not a guy who was easy to play his cards according to common sense. What's more serious was that his three subordinates' understanding of his order during the day was very different.  The losses suffered during the bombing were different, so they may not be exactly the same as him. The encounters during the day were different, so naturally the understanding of his orders was not exactly the same.

    Although according to the order of Lieutenant General Kunisaki Noboru, the entire division is organized into groups and adopts the tactic of advancing the entire army at the same time as each regiment's subordinate brigades, but in the dark night, this tactic is difficult to ensure that the entire division's three infantrymen  The regiment, an engineer regiment and other attached units, nearly 20,000 strong, acted in unison.

    Especially when each regiment suffered different losses during the daytime shelling and bombing, the 7th Division's advance based on the group structure, coupled with the hilly and low-mountain terrain within the Alhorqin Banner,  , is destined to form a situation of varying lengths. No matter how strict the training of the Japanese army is, the limitations of the terrain are the limitations of the terrain.

    Although the three regiment captains did not agree with Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki's adjustment, under his insistence, the order was still implemented to the letter. However, the three infantry regiments of the 7th Division,  Three different samples emerged regarding the intensity and level of implementation.

    The 27th Regiment on the left wing carried out the division commander's orders without hesitation, because their position was closest to the junction of the Bahrain Left Banner and the Alukorqin Banner, and during the daytime battle  , at least half of the heavy artillery shells were fired from the Bahrain Left Banner, and at the same time, nearly a quarter of the half of the heavy artillery shells fell on the heads of the 27th Regiment.

    Nearly a quarter of the bombs dropped by the anti-Union bombers taking off from Linxi Airport fell on the heads of the 27th Regiment. Although the losses of the 27th Regiment were greater than those of the entire 7th Division.  It was not the most serious, but the encounter during the day left the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yasui Atsui, with lingering fears.

    In view of the losses during the day, Yasui Atsushiro did not want the encounter during the day to be repeated at night, and he did not want to pay too much price on the march route before actually entering the battle. Therefore, after receiving this order, the 27th Regiment  It was carried out without hesitation, and it was the only one among the three infantry regiments of the Seventh Division that carried out the task in accordance with the requirements of the division headquarters.

    As for the 26th Regiment, although they were guarding the division headquarters, they were somewhat compromised in executing the division's orders because they were guarding the division headquarters and most of the baggage. Its commander, Colonel Tatsuo Uchida,  The entire regiment was divided into three parts, and a squadron from each of the left and right brigades was transferred to the central brigade guarding the division and regiment headquarters to ensure the safety of the division and regiment headquarters.

    The reason for this situation is that not every regiment commander can afford to lose the responsibility of a division headquarters and a lieutenant general division commander, and assume the responsibility of protecting the division headquarters, which means that the 26th regiment  The team carried a heavy and extra-large burden. Needless to say, there were any problems with the division commander. Even if the division headquarters lost a radio station, it was not a trivial matter.

    As a graduate of the Army University, he has already reached the position of captain of the Colonel Regiment. Seeing that the position of general is close at hand, if nothing unexpected happens, his promotion to major general is almost certain. Colonel Tatsuo Uchida, the captain of the 26th Regiment, can  I don't want to capsize in the gutter at this time and ruin my dream of being a general.

    So even though the division headquarters followed his 26th Regiment, he still stubbornly added two infantrymen to the troops that followed the division headquarters.and a machine gun squadron. If Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki had not firmly opposed it, he would not even mind adding a mortar squadron.

    However, after Uchida Tatsuo did this, the safety factor of the 7th Division Headquarters was indeed greatly increased, but he also made the entire marching column into a strange formation with light at the two ends and heavy in the middle, and it was still the kind of two wings that were a little bit heavy.  A formation that protrudes and shrinks back a little in the middle.

    What he did with this trick, as long as he is not a fool, as long as he has eyes, and is not a rookie who has just entered the battlefield, an ordinary battalion commander can easily tell at a glance that the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters is under his control.  Among the twenty-sixth regiment, and right in the middle.

    After he strengthened the divisional headquarters guard force by nearly one brigade, would it become more obvious? Tatsuo Uchida had not considered this, but this formation with light ends and heavy weight in the middle made him very dissatisfied.  Because he clearly knew that, with the heavy responsibility of guarding the division headquarters, once the troops at both ends were attacked, it was impossible for him to mobilize troops from the middle to support any direction.

    In order to ensure the safety of the division headquarters and to consider the balance of forces on the two wings, how to increase the strength of the 26th Regiment has become the best choice, but now there is only more than half left,  The baggage regiment, which also had to carry the remaining combat supplies of the entire 7th Division, was simply unable to meet his needs.

    The baggage regiment could not meet the needs, so Uchida Tatsuo set his sights on the engineer regiment. After several attempts, and with the approval of Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki, this guy ignored the firm opposition of the engineer regiment captain and transferred the engineer regiment to the engineering regiment.  The three squadrons following the operations of the 26th Regiment, plus the only fully equipped squadron of baggage troops, were divided into two to strengthen the two brigades on the two wings. In this way, his two wings would not be too weak.  Too outrageous.

    However, compared to Uchida Tatsuo who created such a strange formation in order to protect the safety of the division and regiment, the 28th Regiment on his right wing did something even more outrageous. The marching sequence of the entire regiment was due to the  During the air raid, it became the regiment of the 7th Division that suffered the most losses, and was reduced to pieces by its commander, Colonel Kiyoshi Naoki Ichiki.

    Compared with the left wing, which is the 27th Regiment closest to the Bahrain Left Banner, and compared with the 26th Regiment, which is in the center to support and protect the division headquarters, it is located on the right wing of the entire 7th Division and is also close to the Kailu line.  , was actually the 28th Regiment that was farthest from the battlefield, and was the one with the heaviest casualties among the three regiments of the 7th Division in daytime bombing and shelling.

    Originally, they thought that they were the farthest regiment from the Linxi battlefield and the most peripheral regiment in the entire deployment of the 7th Division. Even if the Anti-Resistance Alliance was attacked, it would be difficult for them to be the first choice target, because in the  From Ichiki Kiyoshi's perspective, no matter what his marching route was, he was dozens of kilometers away from the Bahrain Left Banner where a large number of enemy troops were concentrated.

    If the enemy troops on the Linxi battlefield want to counterattack, they must first face the main force of the division. As for the Tongliao battlefield, which is closer to itself, I am afraid that the anti-union forces there are too busy to take care of themselves at the moment, and it is difficult for them to take care of themselves.  The weak troops within the banner also have to face the main force of the division.

    I don't have to worry about encountering a ground attack at all, let alone a large-scale blockade. Unless the enemy doesn't want their entire flank, they simply won't be able to mobilize too many troops to block their 28th Regiment.  , as for the harassing blockade by a small group of enemy troops, he, who thought he had an integrated regiment, didn't care at all.

    Even if the enemy forces concentrate their heavy artillery, they do not have such a large range to hit their own heads. And if there is an air attack, they will not put the main force on the regiment farthest from the main battlefield. After all, according to their own  In terms of the march route, the threat to the Anti-Union forces on the Linxi battlefield is the smallest. Even if the Anti-Union forces have long-range firepower, they will not focus their attacks on themselves.

    In addition, the commander of his regiment, Colonel Kiyonao Ichiki, believed that the division commander consciously discriminated against the 28th Regiment when arranging troops and placed the entire march route of the 28th Regiment, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, on the  He was placed at the farthest position from the main battlefield, consciously squeezing himself out as the only captain in the 7th Division who had not attended Army University compared with the other two captains.

    For Ichiki Kiyoshi, who was not able to pass the Army University, he never thought that those guys who had entered the Army University must be better than him in terms of ability. As the current three infantrymen of the Seventh Division,  Among the captains, the one with the most actual combat experience is definitely more capable than his two colleagues who graduated from the Army University.

    Of course, Ichiki Kiyoshi will never admit this mentality of his, because he is convinced that the two Army University graduates, much younger than himself, who is now forty-nine years old, have already reached the position of Captain of the Colonel-General.For the jealousy of his colleagues, he just believed that as an officer, his actual command ability relied on actual combat experience rather than the few textbooks he read at Army University.

    If you can become a famous general by just reading a few books, then what else is there to do in military schools? Just let history professors from those universities or guys who study war history act as officers at all levels to command operations. Really  The strength depends on the performance on the battlefield.

    As for Ichiki Kiyoshi, he has always believed that his performance on the China battlefield since the China Incident is unmatched among the current Seventh Division. During the Wanping City incident that year, although he was only  A pawn, but to this day, he is still proud of his original bravery and decisiveness.

    According to Ichiki Kiyoshi, according to the combat area assigned by the division, the march route of the 28th Regiment is the farthest of the entire 7th Division, and naturally it is the latest to enter the battlefield. Moreover, according to the enemy situation in the Alhorqin Banner,  It seems that by the time the 28th Regiment enters the battlefield, the day lilies will have been cold, and they will have to help the other two regiments clean the battlefield. In the end, they will be empty-handed and gain nothing.
