The national government swallows its anger and feeds these uncles with good wine and meat, but they don't dare to say anything wrong to others. This is a typical example of a weak country having no diplomacy, suffering losses and being constrained everywhere, but still having to smile.
This time, Wen San finally had some success. Wen San defeated the elite Japanese troops into disgrace and systematically eliminated their opponents many times. The price paid is much smaller than that of the enemy. Such a face-saving thing, of course, makes the entire country feel proud.
However, these mutual calculations and wrangling have little impact on the frontline battlefield. No matter how the people at the top are scheming and pulling back and forth. No one will hold back on the battle that needs to be fought.
For example, on the Qinglong Mountain front line, Nakajima, the commander of the 16th Division, sent troops to continuously attack the national troops on both sides. Although they were flanked, they still firmly defended their defenses and were able to launch counterattacks with the help of aircraft.
No matter the 154th Division or the 51st Division, they all felt very annoyed. Japanese planes bombed again and again. After the plane flew away, the Japanese rushed up again, and a small defensive position was fought back and forth, and the battle became fierce.
Commander Tang was extremely anxious. The strength of the two divisions was actually unable to take down a Japanese brigade. Instead, they were beaten to a pulp. What should we do?
Thinking about the 160th Division, he was surrounded by two brigades. With only one more independent regiment, can it really sustain this army?
To the north, the Japanese's 13th Division also fought hard, forcing the 83rd Army to retreat steadily, and it felt like it could not withstand it. The 83rd Army has applied for fire support from Commander Tang many times. If no troops rush forward, they may not be able to stop the 13th Division.
The core battlefield is relatively calm. Yamaguchi Kameichi and Ono Shiro were originally planning to break out of the encirclement, but knowing that the national army had such a large formation and wanted to kill them, the two Japanese soldiers discussed and decided not to break out.
They want to use themselves as bait to attract more troops. Especially that fierce independent group, they must be attracted.
Although the two divisions of the national army made a surprise attack on them, they lost some of their troops. But Yamaguchi Kameichi does not think that he is incapable of fighting. A pure defensive battle is even less of a problem.
Since the government is going to have a big battle here, they are not afraid. As long as they withstand the attack of these two divisions and wait for the 13th Division to approach, they can easily eat up the surrounding armies and penetrate the capital's outer defense line in one fell swoop.
The Japanese frontline headquarters and headquarters quickly agreed with Yamaguchi Kameichi's tactical concept. Judging from the battlefield situation that has occurred, they have a high degree of certainty of success.
The two brigades under Yamaguchi and Ono are extremely effective. Under normal circumstances, even without any reinforcements, they should be able to hold on for more than five to seven days if they stay where they are. This is the judgment made by the Japanese senior commander.
When the food and ammunition are gone, they can airdrop it directly without worrying about this problem at all. And they're already doing it.
What's a little funny is that the Japanese planes were fooled by Wen San's plaster flag and actually gave them some supplies.
Li Baishabu's nose was crooked when he smiled. Just in time to replenish these equipment and ammunition to the Jiang Defense Regiment. On their side, Wang Qiang's baggage team has already sent up the corresponding weapons and ammunition. The soldiers got a rest, replenished their equipment, and were in very high spirits.
The situation of the 159th Division and the 160th Division is not bad. Although they suffered some small losses, it was not as serious as expected. After all, the number of Japanese bombings was limited. They devoted their energy to the northern and southern battlefields.
"Brother Wen, I'm afraid the 83rd Army in the north won't be able to hold on for the scheduled time. They can't hold it anymore. It's expected that the 13th Japanese Division will break through the 83rd Army's defense line at two or three o'clock in the afternoon at most. After that, they will drive straight in. Directly threatening the 159th Division; and forming a counter-encirclement circle with the two Japanese brigades."
"The situation in the south is slightly better. The brigade led by Nakajima Jaiko fought evenly with the two divisions, but our troop losses on both sides were a bit large. The 154th Division sent back news that they are confident of blocking the brigade on the defensive line today. Otherwise, we won’t let this man’s brigade get close.”
Commander Ye told Wen San all the surrounding battle reports. Judging from the current situation. Their plan is already in jeopardy, and the brigade's combat plan to annihilate the two Japanese is likely to abort.
Especially the Japanese 13th Division, which is about to penetrate the 83rd Army, poses a great threat to them. Fortunately, coming from that side, even if the Japanese marched at full strength, it would still take most of the day.
Wen San also smelled danger and understood that he still overestimated the combat capabilities of the national army. They and their independent group are completely different concepts.
Putting aside the equipment gap, just in terms of combat will, they are not on the same level. The 83rd Army has a large number of people. It is said that with their strength, they can definitely block the Japanese 13th Division in one day.
But he had only been fighting for a long time, and within half a day, he could no longer hold on. This is completely due to the lack of mental determination to sink the ship. If there are even a few casualties, the combat commander will lose confidence.
How can we fight such a battle? How to compete with the Japanese elite division?
"No, we can't wait for the Japanese 13th Division to come over. If that happens, we will definitely lose this battle. Let Chief Tang tell the case to the 83rd Army. As long as he can hold off the Japanese 13th Division for three more hours, I will give him The equipment of half a Japanese brigade!"
Wen San decided to stimulate the 83rd Army. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The equipment of half a Japanese brigade is nearly 5,000 guns, and they are good guns!
The 83rd Army only has two divisions, and with so much equipment, they are like replacing a gun with a cannon.
"We assume that after being stimulated by the equipment, the 83rd Army fought with all its strength and blocked the Japanese 13th Division for two more hours. In other words, the Japanese of the 13th Division broke through their defense line at around 5 p.m. The Japanese will not eat. Even if you drink up, it should be after midnight before you can reach the battlefield here."
Although Wen San asked the 83rd Army to hold off the Japs for three hours, he still left himself some room and set the Japs in the 13th Division to march at full speed.
If the 83rd Army could hold off for a little longer, the Japanese would have something to eat and rest after breaking through the defense line. Then they will probably have to wait until after three o'clock in the morning to arrive at the battlefield here.
In other words, Commander Ye's two divisions, plus Wen San's independent regiment, must eliminate the two Japanese brigades in the encirclement before one o'clock in the morning.
This will be a very tough battle, the time is very tight, and there can be no mistakes. When the troops attack, they must do their best and not hold anything back.
"Okay, I will pass the news to the 83rd Army right now." Commander Ye was also a little nervous. I wonder if the 83rd Army will be more excited after getting the news.
+Updating the statistics, the number of power generation was 525 times yesterday, which is fine. If we continue at this pace, adding one chapter in four days, Wang Mazi can still afford it. Don't go too crazy, just take your time.
