Chapter 412 Pessimistic Japanese generals
There was no joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on Fujita's face, and said with a expressionless face: Everyone in this attack on Tongcheng was very brave, but the result was not the loss of troops than one-sixth of our total army. I believe everyone doesn't want to see this situation. However, everyone doesn't need to be discouraged. There are only a few Chinese troops that can compete with us. The 318th Army was the first to be one of them. Before that, several divisions have tasted the taste of failure. We are not the first, but maybe we can be the last one.
Niujima said with a bitter face: Master of the division, if we continue to build the current situation, there is almost no chance for our army to take down Tongcheng unless a miracle happens, even if we invest all our troops, it will be difficult for us to gain any advantage in Tongcheng. If there is any accident, the 35,000 imperial men, including the Hatan Detachment, are likely to be buried here.
If someone said these words, the others would have been furious and fought against them, but now it is different. No one refuted Niushima Man's words. According to the current situation, the possibility of such a thing happening is that there is a loss of 6,000 a day. How many 6,000 can they lose 6,000 in a day?
Unlike ordinary small fights, fighting with the 318th Army has always maintained a high mortality rate. You can even use a meat grinder to describe several brigade commanders who thought about the mountain of corpses piled up on the battlefield today. Then they felt a chill in their hearts. These were all passionate men who went to the empire to expedition to the Chinese Empire with the belief that the empire will win. They became jade-breaking imperial warriors in just one day, and there was nothing worth reading about them. It was like a stone thrown down on a calm lake. Although there would be a ripples at that time, it was only a short time.
Tuotaro also said bitterly: The division commander, judging from the situation of fighting with the Chinese army today, the Chinese army is equipped with sufficient personnel. Every time they attack, some soldiers are added to the continuous replenishment. It makes us feel like we have fallen into an abyss and there is no end to see.
Hirota said explicitly: I admit that our army is excellent, but the 318th Army on the opposite side is also excellent. Although it is our opponent, I have to express my admiration for their strength again. I am making an assumption now that even under the same strength, one attacks and one defense, they have an absolute advantage. Moreover, there is a fact that we have to admit now. In terms of combat effectiveness, is the 318th Army indeed one level higher than our army? Is it true that we really need to use the sea of people to fill Tongcheng?
Fujita Jin shook his head and said: What you said is actually nothing wrong, but what are we, we are soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire. Our mission is to let the glory of the empire shine throughout the entire China Tong City. Although their troops are a difficult bone, their troops cannot withstand consumption. Although I don’t agree with the so-called human sea tactics just now, this is also one of the costs that must be paid. Why should we attack us today? The Central China Front Army gave us the order to open the gap from Tong City. Do we have any other choices?
Chief of Staff said: The division commander means that our loss will naturally be seen by the Empire. It is not that we do not work hard to attack, but that the current situation is not optimistic. I hope that the Empire can change its combat strategy and bypass Tongcheng to directly take Wuhan. If our army just encircles and does not attack, then other armies will directly take Wuhan, and finally form a siege against Tongcheng and eliminate the entire 318th Army in Tongcheng.
Tokutaro said: The division commander's idea is very good, but how likely is it to be implemented? Our goal is Wuhan, not the 318th Army Empire. The perspective of our natural imperfection is that we are naturally impossible. Could it be that Wuhan is just to siege Tongcheng? I wonder if the relationship here is wrong. The purpose of our capture of Tongcheng is to siege Wuhan, not to siege Wuhan to siege the 318th Army.
Fujita nodded and said: It's not unreasonable to Zoom Ikun's words, but now our army's largest killer aircraft can no longer cause any damage to Tongcheng. At this moment, Tongcheng's garrison is so strong. We don't know how many cards they have left. They didn't reveal them. They just attacked so rashly. The final result was not worth the loss. And I have already telegraphed General Hata Shunji. I think the threat of the 318th Army is definitely not under Wuhan. I hope General Hata Shunji can seriously consider the feasibility of my plan.
Hatan Mitsuyo shook his head and said: I know too much about General Hata Shunji's personality. He can't agree to the division commander. And I think even General Hata Shunji will not make any changes to this, because they feel that no one can stop the Emperor's team from moving forward.
Fujita Jin sighed and said: When did the imperial army face the Chinese army so depressed and out of here? It seems that I am a very unlucky commander.
Everyone hurriedly advised Fujita Jin. In fact, after the fight with the 318th Army, everyone was really sympathetic to the Third Division at that time. At that time, he would never have thought that there would be such a force on the battlefield in China. The Third Division at that time was abnormally underestimated the enemy, and as a result, it almost caused less than 10,000 people to be taken over.
Fujita Jin really had no choice. He knew that in the face of absolute strength, everything was false. Just like when the Japanese army began to attack other Chinese troops, they let them play various tactics, and finally they won the victory without any damage. But now it was their turn, and the opponent was still in the defensive stage, which made Fujita Jin feel depressed.
If the 318th Army and the Japanese army were fighting, Fujita Jin didn't know what the final result would be, but now they were in the defensive stage. If you want to invade other people's country, you have to let them fight with you. It's an unrealistic thing. Fujita Jin sat there like a meditation and thought, to see if there was any way to take down Tongcheng, but after thinking about it, I just couldn't do it: 220 flowers added to my brothers, thank you everyone, let's continue to work hard.
