Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Faced with Kunizaki Noboru's accusation, Tomita Naoaki was speechless, and he didn't know how to explain that after the Anti-Japanese Alliance sneak attack on the 28th Regiment last night, he advocated taking advantage of the lack of troops on the front line of Bala Chirud to attack nearby  He turned around and broke through the front line of Bala Chirud and inserted the right flag of Bahrain to prevent the division from continuing to be attacked by the superior ground and air firepower of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and it was he who suffered in vain.

    Under the situation of being unable to attack for a long time, he adopted the latent tactic and attacked east and west to break through the stone table to open a breakthrough. After the breakthrough was opened, he insisted on investing a large number of troops and insisted on penetrating deeply into the Bala Chirud line and completely tearing it apart.  It was he who broke through his entire defense.

    After the large-caliber artillery gradually fell silent in the second half of the night, no matter how critical the situation was, the battle was supported by some mountain artillery and mortars. It was you who insisted that the enemy's large-caliber artillery shells had been almost exhausted. It was your own strength.  His persistence pushed the 7th Division completely into the abyss.

    The results of the battle that were progressing smoothly before have now become like this. The breakthrough in the direction of the stone table has achieved results, but in the end it has turned into a flash in the pan. Not only has it failed to completely defeat Bala Qirud as he judged,  The front-line anti-union defenders themselves were devoured with almost no bones left.

    If according to the request of the division commander, when the 28th Regiment was attacked, the main force of the 26th Regiment should be concentrated to the north for reinforcements, and the 28th Regiment could cooperate with the 28th Regiment to overwhelm the defenders' forces that were thrown into the night attack.  Fall out, and then take advantage of the emptiness in the middle of the enemy's army to break through to the north with all your strength.

    Even if he could not achieve much results, he would not be reduced to such a situation. It was precisely because of his persistence that the division commander made concessions. Of course, the division commander did not necessarily have this intention at the beginning, but no matter  Did the division commander also have this intention, but after all, he carried it out at his own insistence. The battle turned out like this, and he, the instigator, really couldn't explain it to his superiors.

    From last night to now, facing the garrison of only one regiment, the 7th Division suffered more than 5,000 casualties. This did not include the losses of the 28th Regiment. The more than 5,000 people were  What a number, if coupled with the casualties and losses in yesterday's daytime air raid, it means that the two regiments were completely destroyed.

    This casualty ratio has directly caught up with the Battle of 203 Highlands in the Russo-Japanese War, which almost wiped out the entire 7th Division. Judging from the actual comparison of the number of troops participating in the battle, it can even be said to be more serious. Since that war  After that, in all the battles that the 7th Division participated in, this was the first time that this kind of casualty ratio had ever occurred. No matter what happened now, the 7th Division must give a satisfactory explanation to the base camp.

    After a long silence, under the aggressive gaze of Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki, Colonel Tomita Naoaki gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the responsibility for the 7th Division's suffering such huge losses this time lies entirely with me, and I will never let the division  It¡¯s difficult for you, Tuan. I will give an explanation to the base camp, the Kwantung Army, and all the fallen soldiers of the Seventh Division.¡±

    Looking at Colonel Naoki Tomita who remained silent once again after saying that he would give an explanation, Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki, who knew what the explanation he was talking about, was also speechless. Is it really necessary to force a division?  Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, do you commit seppuku? Is it true that he, the chief of staff of the division, can only be responsible for the current war situation?

    Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki knew very well that Naoaki Tomita had an unshirkable responsibility for causing such losses to the Seventh Division, but as the division commander, he did not have no responsibility. He was the division commander, and ultimately  The decision-making power was in his own hands. After Tomita Naoliang proposed a new combat plan based on changes in the enemy's situation, didn't he resolutely oppose it?

    In fact, Lieutenant General Kunisaki Noboru knew why he did not object, because starting from crossing the Siramulun River, the progress of the Seventh Division was not smooth. In the battle of the Siramulun River, the Seventh Division was lost.  More than half of the artillery, and then followed by an entire day and night, almost seamless bombardment.

    His own 7th Division suffered heavy losses in the bombing and artillery fire with almost no pause, especially the accuracy of carpet bombing by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Its accuracy made the 7th Division almost unbelievable, because even the Japanese Army has always led  The Army Air Forces, which they are proud of, currently cannot achieve this accuracy. Almost all bombs fall around the various marching columns of the Japanese army.

    Since crossing the Siramulun River, especially after experiencing a whole day and night of hell, the 7th Division of Kunisaki Noboru has been in the enemy's path since crossing the Siramulun River.  The feeling of operating in a trap, even in Kunisaki Noboru's opinion, if it continues like this, the 7th Division will not be able to wait for the target designated by the army, and will be exhausted bit by bit.

    This sneak attack by the enemy may be an opportunity to change the fate of the Seventh Division. If we try our best, it may have an unexpected effect., at least with real contact with the enemy, the enemy aviation bombing would not be so taboo. It was precisely because of this feeling that he agreed to Tomita Naoliyo's suggestion.

    Taking advantage of the fact that half of the defenders' forces were detached to attack the 28th Regiment in a detour, the weak defensive force was further weakened, and the original plan was changed to turn around and attack the Bala Qirud line south, directly inserting into the right side of Bahrain.  Qi quickly entered the flank of Linxi's battlefield because he did not want to continue crawling in the firepower network constructed by the enemy and he had almost no power to fight back.

    However, Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki did not expect that things would end like this. He first deployed the Hailitu front line, preparing to ambush the 28th Regiment when it retreated, trying to eliminate half of its two infantry brigades.  There, it was two full hours until the sound of gunfire and gunfire from Zagastanor completely subsided, and they did not wait for the opponent to enter their ambush circle.

    Not only did it not play the role it should have, but it actually wasted a lot of troops, affecting the deployment of troops on the line from Aohan Yingzi to Balaqirude, causing the situation that although Zhangjiayingzi, the commanding heights of the defenders' defense line, was captured,  However, they have been unable to break through the entire defense line of the defenders.

    By the time the troops of the two brigades were transferred back from Hairitu, the most favorable opportunity to break through the enemy's defense line in the entire offensive and defensive battle had passed. Fortunately, when the two brigades rushed back, they could be used as follow-up troops.  It was invested in the direction of Shizuishi and used as a follow-up force for the latent troops after tearing through the enemy's defense line.

    In order to free up the rest of the troops, strengthen the frontal offensive of Bala Chirud, strive for frontal attacks and flank assaults, and establish the victory in one fell swoop. However, after finally waiting for a gap to be opened in the direction of the stone table, although it was intercepted by artillery fire, it took a certain amount of effort.  price.

    However, with no hesitation in investing, they finally opened a hole and penetrated deep into the defenders' defense line. However, they did not expect that the heavy artillery troops of the defenders, who had been gradually silent before, suddenly opened fire, causing the entire strategic plan of the 7th Division to fail.  Said, and paid such a heavy price of casualties.

    According to the report of the senior staff officer of the division who was supervising the battle at the front, from Balaqirude to Zhangjiayingzi, from Shizuizi to Sumoyintala, the enemy's artillery shells formed several fire nets, sweeping back and forth across the entire battlefield, and  Extremely violent and accurate, the 7th Division's artillery fire had never been seen since its formation, tightly blocking the stone table breach.

    The breakthrough point of Stone Table was blasted out by fierce enemy artillery fire. It did not calm down until the enemy bombardment stopped. The wall of fire that could be seen with the naked eye, no matter after entering the depth of the enemy army, faced with the unfavorable situation and wanted to withdraw.  The combat troops, or the troops who want to meet outside the fire wall, will be shattered into pieces as long as they touch the fire wall.

    When the enemy artillery fire subsided, the entire Stone Table breach was covered with the corpses of Imperial soldiers who had been blown into parts by enemy artillery shells. South of the Stone Table, in the depth of the enemy's army, the corpses of Imperial soldiers who died in battle continued to stretch.  To the strength of eyesight.

    The only surviving mid-level officer among the mid-level officers who participated in the war, the senior combat staff officer used three consecutive words to describe the outcome of the battle: "too tragic". When reporting, his tone was trembling. This tone was unkind to these always arrogant combatants.  For the staff officer, this was the first time Noboru Kunizaki heard about it, and one can imagine the terrifying scene.

    What Kunizaki Noboru didn't expect was that the enemy commander would be so calm that he could break through and insert the troops in depth, and he had already hit the troops right under the nose of his headquarters, but he still did not use the hidden large-caliber artillery. Some of them  At that time, Kunizaki Noboru really wanted to see what kind of person his opponent was.

    To be able to use the few resources at hand to trap himself and the entire 7th Division one after another in such a short period of time, while he still has his own chief of staff, is still stupid.  After getting into the trap, the entire 7th Division could be said to have been crippled.

    This time, not only did Naoaki Tomita, the chief of staff of the division who insisted on changing the direction of the main attack, find it hard to take the blame, but he himself, the division commander, also couldn't escape the blame. What was even more annoying was that he didn't know what to do next.  At this time, they turned around and headed north to continue executing the army commander's orders. The Seventh Division no longer had that strength.

    The 7th Division, which continued to exert pressure on the front line of Balaqirud and suffered heavy losses, was really unsustainable. The most important thing was that the commanding heights of Zhangjiayingzi, previously controlled by the 7th Division, had been occupied by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  Taking it back, even if Zhangjiayingzi is lost, it will not determine the final fate of the Seventh Division.

    However, the loss of the artillery deployed at the commanding heights of Zhangjiayingzi is nothing more than worsening the situation for the current Seventh Division. After the loss of Zhangjiayingzi, the entire Seventh Division's artillery only has five 92 infantry guns, plus  One Type 41 mountain cannon and one Type 94 mountain cannon.?One 38 modified field gun, and two 97 type 81 mm mortars.

    These artillery pieces are the only remaining artillery pieces after the artillery wing of the Seventh Division plus all the attached artillery units. What makes matters worse is that the total number of shells of these only remaining artillery pieces is less than 100 rounds. The entire division cannot  Counting the 28th Regiment, there are currently only nine heavy machine guns left in all two regiments combined. With this intensity of firepower, the fight cannot continue no matter what.

    What worries Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki the most is that, except for the 28th Regiment, which has lost contact and has sent people to search for it but has not been able to find it, all the combat power of the entire division is left.  There are a little more than 3,000 people, and this is the result of including all non-direct combat units such as baggage troops and engineers.

    Faced with the current embarrassing situation, Lieutenant General Noboru Kunizaki couldn't help but shed tears. Just yesterday, even though the artillery losses were serious, his 7th Division was at least a fully organized and fully reorganized division.  But now he clearly knew that his 7th Division was completely disabled.
