Chapter 398: Swallow the bait (Part 1)

Bait!

Tsukada's offensive power dissented, and used the most elite infantry corps in his hand as bait, with a simple purpose. (_《》) to attract Wang Bingnan's 9th column power and use a bait to lure a big fish.

But what's ridiculous is that this bait still needs to fight with the big fish.

The bait faces the big fish, not the fisherman.

This was destined to be a very risky sudden attack. Tsukada Oshi was very confident in himself and believed that the plan was foolproof.

The 5th Regiment did not disappoint him. Although he was surrounded, there were plains around him. As long as he was determined to break through, Masao Kumamoto still had many ways to lead the 5th Regiment out of the siege. Of course, after losing supplies for a few days, the 5th Regiment could no longer launch a counterattack battle to relieve his depression. This was the best result.

What about the worst?

The fish was full and dragged the bait away, but the fisherman had to sigh because he lost the only bait.

In any case, Tsukada Ota was unwilling to be a loser.

Among the Japanese army, failure is a shame, which concerns the dignity of the country. Perhaps for the Japanese generals, they can admit failure against the Western world because Japan's technology has a certain gap with the Western powers. Of course, this gap is not in military strength, but in the bones.

It's like a raised evil dog.

If you can't beat your master, it's forgiven, or even show off. Who made those Western powers have been officials who have been officials for hundreds of years? But if you can't beat a weak farmer, it's a huge shame for this dog.

It is related to bloodline, courage, and a bunch of empty heads and minds.

Tsukada Oku and even Japan's disappointment in the Chinese battlefield was also disappointment in the army. Therefore, in the new cabinet, the role of the navy will be paid more and more attention, or even relied upon. This is Japan's last bargaining chip to dominate the world. Whether it can establish victory in one fell swoop is fully entrusted to the navy.

I just thought that it was a gambler who was addicted to gambling. The more he lost, the more he stimulated the madness in his heart.

"General, Takeuchi Liaison Team sent an urgent call. Aoyama Town has been lost and the reinforcement road has been cut off, but Kumamoto seems to have no idea of ​​the threat he is trapped in and is still fighting with Wang Bingnan 9th Circle."

"Yu Dou?" When Tsukada Oku heard this word, he felt like he had drunk nectar and jade liquid, and his whole body became much lighter: "That's right. The strategy of ordering the Takeuchi Legislature Team to launch an attack from behind the 9th Column is correct. After the 5th Infantry League stabilizes its defense line, it will be overwhelmed on the southern line. It is necessary to encircle the Legislature on the south bank of the Namore River within two days."

"God of General, I'm afraid your combat orders will be difficult to implement." Chief of Staff of the Division Hiroshi Miyagi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself: "The Takeuchi Liaison suffered a big loss before he arrived at the battlefield. And according to the information reported on the front line, it seems that the attack was blocked."

"Does Wang Bingnan still have troops to send blocking troops?"

Miyagi Hiroshi said reluctantly: "It is true. The Takeuchi corps arrived at the periphery of Aoyama Town before dark. However, the opponent had already put on makeup and stationed in Aoyama Town. Colonel Takeuchi was attacked by him because the opponent could speak fluent Japanese and the equipment was standard equipment of the 5th Regiment. Two cavalry squadrons, with more than 400 troops, had only more than 100 people escaped from the opponent's siege."

"Are you worried that the left wing forces of the 5th Infantry Regiment have been silently annihilated by Wang Bingnan, but Masao Kumamoto knows nothing?"

Tsukada Oshi soon found what he wanted to say from Hiroshi Miyagi's evasive words. Masao Kumamoto was already in a quagmire, and as the person involved, Masao Kumamoto thought he could still control the overall situation. Therefore, Masao Kumamoto was able to calmly treat the attack of the 9th Column, but did not send an urgent telegram for help.

Tsukada Oku couldn't help but be amused: "A commander doesn't even know the strength of his own. How can he be idiotic?"

"God of General, in our combat plan, as a parameter for formulating tactics, the reconnaissance results of the aviation corps have always been our most important basis. This is also our firm belief that in the southern part of Dedu, there is only one column of troops, namely Wang Bingnan's 9th Column. The troops are about 10,000. However, the aviation corps can only reconnaissance during the day. Once it is night, if Chen Guang's corps has the strength to move south, we will not know at all."

"Miyagi-kun, what do you want to say?" Tsukada To stared at his war horse not far away, very strong and difficult for the governor.

For an old soldier over fifty years old, he was already a little helpless when riding such a fast horse.

"We all know the situation on the Northeast Front. Zeng Yiyang's elite 3rd Columns, the 4th Columns and 5th Columns commanded by Chen Guang have arrived about 120 kilometers west of Melgen, fighting against each other in this hilly area. But there are only 15,000 people in the Riverside General, and it is likely to ignore the mobilization of the opponent's troops. Chen Guang mobilized a brigade's troops south. For an army of 40,000 or 50,000 people, this force is very inconspicuous. The Riverside General will not discover it through battle at the first time. But once this unit appears north of Aoyama Town, Colonel Kumamoto still considers the comparison of the battlefield according to his previous inertial thinking, and it is likely to be unbalanced." Miyagi Hiroshi's idea was unfounded, but it was just his guess.

Therefore, it is used more as a reference for the Tsukada attack rather than as a basis for designated battles.

"Didn't Kumamoto find traces during the march?"

"It's very difficult, General, look at this area, which is as big as half a Fengtian, but the recorded population is less than 300,000. It is mainly distributed in various villages and towns along the railway and on the highway. If the opponent can avoid leaving the main road when they are away from the villages and towns, it will be difficult to find." As a chief of staff, Hiroshi Miyagi's army march is completely a pediatrician for him.

But some reason is that several troops commanded by Chen Guang are very good at night fighting and can launch battles at night, so it is not difficult to march in secret.

Therefore, without knowing that the left wing was annihilated, the 5th Regiment tried to delay the time and merge with the left wing by delaying the convergence. I believe that Wang Bingnan was step by step inducing Colonel Kumamoto Masao to walk towards the area he set.

Once the encirclement is small enough, it is the moment when Wang Bingnan thunder strikes.

At the moment when Tsukadatsu was in a dilemma, the 5th Infantry Regiment sent a telegram to the division headquarters. The content of the telegram was beyond Tsukadatsu's expectations. Wang Bingnan chose to attack at night and invested more troops.

After measuring gains and losses, Kumamoto Masao chose to shrink his defensive forces, and his encirclement was reduced several times within only half an hour.

"Wang Bingnan wants to resolve the battle before dawn tomorrow." Tsukada Oku said to himself, as if asking himself, is this possible? It can be seen that he also had great doubts about his guesses, but he dared not take any more risks. He stood up and ordered Hiroshi Miyagi: "Order the troops to stop resting and march immediately."

"yes."

After Miyagi Hiroshi issued this order, he turned back to the division headquarters. Before the march, he prepared the various units of the 8th Division to send a telegram.

With everything ready, Miyagi Hiroshi also rode his horse and Tsukada Oshi and they were standing together. The marching speed was not fast, and they could not feel the bumps. The two were silent. After walking for more than half an hour, the wind at night rose and felt a hint of chill on people.

Miyagi Hiroshi couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly. In September, the weather changed as soon as possible.

In two months, the first snow will fall on this land, and it will be even more uncomfortable to marching and fighting at that time.

"Miyogi-kun, what is your ideal?"

Tsukada Oshi often seems very kind, mostly due to his years of staff experience. He has a very peaceful personality, at least for his subordinates. Besides, although Hiroshi Miyagi is much smaller than him in his military rank, the staff is the brain of the army, which is a famous saying for Hiroshi Tsukada Oshi. Compared with others, Hiroshi Miyagi can gain his trust.

"It's too long, I can't remember it." Hiroshi Miyagi smiled awkwardly. Everyone has ideals when they were young, but after twenty years of working in a career, ideals are just a ridiculous bubble, which can burst as soon as they hit.

The restraint of his subordinates made Tsukada Oku realize that the situation was not very good. However, he had his own unique way to relieve the pressure, which was to chat and say some irrelevant words: "I remember when I was a child, I envied the sumo wrestlers because they had beef every meal. The delicious beef!"

After saying that, Tsukada Ota seemed to be savoring the juicy Kobe beef, making a tsk sound.

"It's really enviable!"

Among the Japanese officers, there were not many who were born in wealthy families, and even landlords. Many people were born in civilians. For example, Mijiro Umezu remarried with his mother, and his stepfather had a violent temper. After he became successful, he had always avoided his past.

At that time, Japanese civilians lived much worse than Chinese civilians.

It is common to sell children and girls. In order to raise food for winter, some villages even sell all the girls in the entire village. Of course, the ending of a bachelor village is also destined, and men go to the army.

When Tsukata Masahiro was young, his family was not rich, so it was not surprising that he had such an ideal.

The two of them said one sentence, without a single sentence, and the main force of the 8th Division was also slowly moving forward in the dark. The two of them kept silent in the battle tacitly, and even Tsukata Tora tried his best to avoid these problems.

if?

No if!

Tsukada Toru was very nervous and encouraged his emotions over and over again. The situation was not good, but for Tsukada Toru, he had to persevere.

Inside the Volunteer Army General Command, two hundred kilometers away from the Dedu battlefield.

Xie Weijun happily held a telegram he had just received, and Zeng Yiyang, who was sitting opposite him, showed a behavioral expression. The heart he was holding could finally let go a little. "When Wang Bingnan attacked overnight, the 5th Infantry Regiment began to shrink his troops. It seemed that the 9th Column's general attack was in the middle of the night. After taking the 5th Infantry Regiment in one go, I want to see what else to fish at the Tsukada Attack, who was determined to fish?"
