Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Most of the situations in this battle will never be ascertained because all the parties involved were killed. That is a story for later. However, the attack on the 7th Division's regiment headquarters and the destruction of the entire army, coupled with the previous casualties of senior officers, can still be traced.  It caused irreparable chaos to the Japanese troops in front.

    It¡¯s okay if the radio communication contact is interrupted. Anyway, since the 7th Division crossed the Xilamulun River and entered the territory of Alukorqin Banner, there have been very few times when the entire division¡¯s radio communication was unimpeded. If the 7th Division and the  If the radio communication between the subordinate units is still intermittent, they can contact each other.

    Then the communication between the Seventh Division and the two divisions on the front of Linxi battlefield, as well as the army headquarters in the rear, and the Kwantung Army headquarters are basically not smooth. The average contact time that can be carried out every day, combined  It took less than half an hour, so no one paid much attention to the complete interruption of radio contact, thinking that this was just another method adopted by the Anti-Union.

    However, at this moment, almost the Seventh Division and the front-line Japanese troops in Bala Chirud were responsible. All wired telephones for communication were also interrupted, which plunged the entire unit at the front into a certain chaos. The Seventh Division was in Bala Chirud.  The few remaining commanders on the front line of Aohan Camp could not remain calm no matter what.

    It's not that the remaining Japanese troops were completely in chaos. The Japanese army's strict battlefield discipline, the ability of middle- and lower-level officers to control the troops, and the level of daily training would not have turned into a mass without being attacked.  A fly in the head, completely let go of the sheep.

    Judging from the current control of the lower-level officers of the Japanese army and the consistent obedience of the Japanese army, the Japanese army has never been able to collapse before fighting. Losing the command of its superiors is not an unacceptable thing for the Japanese army. At this time,  The Japanese army, which is still at its peak, is still very capable of fighting independently.

    It's just that at this moment, all the combat forces in front of us add up to less than two brigades. Even the messy baggage troops, engineers, and artillery without the artillery, together with all the forces, barely reaches 3,000 people.  With such a small number of troops, they were still scattered in front of the two key points of Aohan Yingzi and Bala Qirude, as well as the Japanese troops on the front line from Bala Qirude to Baichengzi and Niji.  Know what to do.

    These Japanese troops didn't know whether they should stand firm on the spot, retreat, or prepare for the final attack as ordered by the chief of staff before contact was interrupted. The most important thing was that there was no direct order from the division headquarters.  , no one in Balaqirude or Aohan Yingzi, the two remaining frontal positions of the Japanese army, was qualified to issue combat orders.

    At this moment, the Japanese troops on the front line from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi have basically lost their unified command after all the two regiment captains participating in the battle were killed. Especially the Japanese troops in the direction of Bala Qirude, which were only a few units.  After the failed assault in the direction of Stone Table, the few remaining troops that withdrew were combined with the remaining troops responsible for the frontal attack on Bala Chirud.

    There are less than 2,000 troops, but they belong to six units with different organizational structures. Including non-combat troops, although the strength can barely make up the size of two large squadrons, there is a commander who can be responsible for coordinating the operations of these troops.  There is no first-level officer.

    There are only two people at the level of captain, but it is a pity that these two brothers are acting captains of the baggage regiment. In order to coordinate the breakthrough in the direction of Shizhuizhi and the supply of ammunition and materials for Bala Qirud's frontal offensive,  At the request of Lieutenant General Kunizaki Noboru, he went to the front line and escaped.

    This guy was originally an instructor at the Army Troops School. This time he came to Aruhorqin Banner with the 7th Division just to inspect battlefield supplies so as to gain some experience in logistics support for the southward operation that was being prepared. The reason why he was able to serve as this joint  Captain, because the lieutenant general captain of the 7th Division went to the west together with a truck of one of his baggage squadrons during the enemy bombing during the day yesterday.

    When no one was available, he was appointed by the division commander as the acting baggage regiment captain. This man had never been on the battlefield for a day since he graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and furthered his studies at the baggage and baggage school, so even though he was a lieutenant colonel  , but his opinions were largely ignored.

    Because in the Japanese Army, which has always despised logistical supplies, there has always been a saying that if heavy troops are considered soldiers, then dragonflies are also considered birds, not to mention a guy who has not been on the battlefield for a day. Although this guy has the highest military rank, there are few others.  The individual will allow him to dictate here.

    As for the other lieutenant colonel, I'm sorry to say that he is the military medical director of the division. He came because he wanted to investigate the troops on the battlefield. After encountering that kind of strange artillery bombardment, a large number of officers and soldiers who had escaped the bombardment died of suffocation.  The reason is that this guy, who is not strictly a soldier, is wondering how to fight the next battle., let alone the right to speak.

    As for the first-level captains, there are quite a few, as many as three and a half, and the three captains all have the same rank. They are all majors. Not counting the front of Aohan camp, the seventh division is the only one at the moment.  In addition to the intact infantry brigade, there was a major captain in front of Bala Chirud alone, plus a major deputy captain of the search brigade.

    If you add in the major combat staff assigned to supervise operations by a division, there are only three major officers in front of Bala Qirud. If the three majors are gathered together, there will be no problem in normal times. After all, the captain  There are several first-level officers in each regiment.

    But in the absence of a higher-level commander who can coordinate the command, having three major commanders at one point is obviously redundant. In this case, everyone has the same result, that is,  Most of the time it can only create chaos rather than form unified command.

    This situation is not to mention the Japanese army, it is the same in the army of any country. Three officers of the same level come together, and there is no one, even a higher-level officer, to take command in the middle or publicly order the troops to be assigned.  Under the command of another unit.

    The only possible situation for this unit is that there are multiple commanders, everyone is at the same level, and no one can do anything about anyone. The result is that the unit itself will fall into chaos in the command system. The deputy captain can barely be considered a captain.  , but he is the deputy, who was promoted unexpectedly before this battle.

    Therefore, no one regards this man as a superior, or as an equal, because according to the Japanese army's practice, those who hold deputy positions in the regiment are basically at the same level as the captain. If this man is attached to the regiment, then he is  The same level as the squadron leader, just one word difference, that's the result.

    Although the hierarchy in the Japanese army is very strict, and subordinates must fully implement the orders of their superiors, the Japanese army, which is now leaderless, has no place to look for its superiors, and the remaining people with some power are all on the same level, that is to say  No one can command anyone.

    This raises a very serious question. Who should listen to the next step? The chief of staff of the division who came down to supervise the operation is an absolutely confidant. He believes that the orders of the chief of staff before losing contact should be strictly implemented and done well.  All jade pieces are ready to attack.

    As for the other two brothers, one wants to retreat. In his opinion, since he is no longer able to fight, he must either retreat to the direction of Baichengzi to find the division headquarters, or simply retreat to the starting point to maintain the remaining strength.  In his opinion, continuing to attack without follow-up attack capabilities and support can only be a dead end.

    The deputy captain of the search wing made the suggestion to retreat based on his own work, because he knew very clearly that the current Seventh Division could no longer fight. According to the request of the division chief of staff, he only  It can consume all the last bit of power.

    Moreover, with his keen sense of smell, he felt that the Chinese would never let go of the remaining remnants of the 7th Division, so he believed that there was an opportunity to use the enemy blockade behind him, which was far from being completed, to concentrate on  The remaining forces retreated southward with all their strength.

    As for the unrealistic idea of ??the so-called jade attack, let the chief of staff, who has now lost contact, do it himself. He cannot use this little bit of the entire seventh division for his own purposes and revenge.  People are bundled into his so-called chariot.

    The deputy commander of the division search wing was a student of Tomita Naoaki at the Army University. He knew his teacher's character and conduct very well, so he knew clearly why his teacher insisted on concentrating the remaining troops.  Launch the final jade-breaking attack on the line from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi.

    The other one who was slightly less courageous was also the only serious captain in front of Bala Qirud. Although he did not say it clearly, he still wanted to stay on the spot. At the same time, he sent people to find the division headquarters.  in order to get exact instructions on what to do next.

    Before finding the division headquarters, in view of the current situation, it would be more appropriate for the entire army to shrink into one unit and wait for reinforcements or wait for orders from superiors. In his opinion, retreating without orders from superiors is disobeying orders from superiors.  Acting without permission, as an imperial officer, should not go against the intentions of his superiors.

    This captain has never been in a high-level organization and has not had much contact with those daring combat staff. His courage is still relatively small. For him, the strict hierarchy in the Japanese army and the prohibition on middle- and lower-level officers who violate orders  The severe punishment made him a little taboo.

    In fact, among the three people, it is reasonable to say that the division's combat staff does not have direct command.Quan, a combat staff officer, does not have the right to directly command combat troops anyway. If the two guys who directly command combat troops don't take advantage of him, he actually has nothing to do.

    But this man is the confidant of the chief of staff of the division. If the responsibility is investigated after the war, the future of these two captains will be in jeopardy. Moreover, the staff officers in the Japanese army have always been bold figures. These natural  The young staff officer who thought he was omnipotent had such a strong energy that he dared to do anything.

    These fanatical staff officers have often removed the authority of the commander without authorization from their superiors. Not to mention that the two people in front of them are just a deputy captain and a group captain.  Even if he is the captain of the unit, they dare to do the same thing.

    This is because they are only division-level staff officers, and there is still a bit of taboo within themselves. If the army staff officer or the Kwantung Army staff officer is changed, they will even dare to do this to the division chief-of-staff level. If the army staff officer or the Kwantung Army staff officer is changed,  The staff officers at the base camp were even more lawless.

    So even though this man didn't have a single soldier except for the guard who was with him when he came, the two captains still couldn't ignore his opinions because they were afraid that he and he  Like his colleagues, they came up with so much energy that they ignored everything and used up all the remaining troops.
