Chapter 350 You Have the Right to Be Unconvinced
a shame.
The 5th Army's combat performance this time was totally out of level with their equipment. If the same weapons and equipment were on other people, they would surely beat the enemy and force them to flee, or at worst they would be able to hold the front line. However, the 5th Army was beaten by their opponents in attack and also beaten by their opponents in defense.
The enemy hit us hard. A division with an artillery battalion and tanks allowed the Japanese to break through the defensive position.
"It's so embarrassing. Their infantry and artillery coordination is complete shit. Commander Bai asked their officers to come here just to learn how to coordinate infantry and artillery." Asaka Hidere directly explained the reason.
No one had any objection. When it came to infantry and artillery coordination, the Independent Regiment dared to say it was number one. Who dared to say it was second? Since the Battle of Shanghai, not a single attack by the Independent Regiment had been launched without the coordination of infantry and artillery, leaving the enemy powerless to fight back.
"It's time to come and learn, otherwise those equipment will be ruined by them." Fang Shengli didn't feel sorry for the 5th Army's disgrace, he just thought it was a pity for those weapons and equipment.
"It's not a good thing. They graduated from a German military school. Do you think they will come here sincerely? They are very arrogant."
"Arrogant, how dare they be arrogant." Commander Bai was furious at his own headquarters. Just now, the adjutant mentioned that several regiment commanders and brigade commanders of the 5th Army went to visit and learn from the independent regiment. I'm afraid that group of people will be dissatisfied. They have their own arrogance, which is to look down on those who graduated from the NCO school.
The adjutant handed the cup to Commander Bai. "Commander, even though they don't say anything, they may be opposed in their hearts."
"You are so arrogant even though you can't win. If it were me, I would have hanged myself with my own rope." Commander Bai took a sip of tea and stood up with a hum. "Get ready and go to the independent regiment."
"Sir, what are you..."
Commander Bai glanced at his adjutant and said, "I want to see how arrogant they are."
"They've even organized this celebration party. We know they're arrogant, but isn't their navy too arrogant?" Terauchi Hisaichi received a report at the headquarters that the navy had actually held a celebration party in Shanghai. Not only local gentry attended the party, but they even sent reporters.
This made him feel ashamed to do this.
"They have always been like this, but sir, the navy is working hard this time. Once they take down the river defense fortress, there will be no place on the Yangtze River that can stop them. If they occupy Wuhan in advance, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to our army and to you, General."
The Chief of Staff also felt that the navy was going to be slapped in the face, but you can't help but say that the navy's equipment is really powerful, and this time they dispatched an aircraft carrier, several aviation brigades, and three divisions of marines. Their equipment is no worse than that of the army.
If they were able to capture the river defense fortress, they could then march straight in.
"Damn it, that bastard Okamura Neiji, he really left me a problem after he left." Terauchi Juichi's mood was instantly tormented after returning to the front line again. What he faced now was to break the enemy's defense line before that, and then advance forward, so that the army could go straight to Wuhan.
"Let the attacking forces along the Yangtze River withdraw 104 kilometers to the north and not cross this line. In addition, let the 74th Division guard the 106th Army and the 13th Division, gather forces, and attack from the front from the direction of the Fifth Army. Then the 5th Division will quickly penetrate and annihilate the enemy's Fifth Army, and then quickly detour to outflank the enemy's 29th Army."
As he spoke, Terauchi Hisaichi drew his own route with a pencil and thought for a while before saying, "After this is over, use the air force to drop leaflets on Wuhan, telling them that our army has devoured their Fifth Army. At the same time, have the Special High Technology Department implement the chaos plan and mobilize a small team to attack their transportation lines."
As long as he cannot transport supplies, the millions of troops on the front will starve to death. No matter how capable Bai is, can he still turn the tide? What can I do to him? If he is not convinced, come and fight me head-on.
I'm not convinced.
Commander Bai came to the Independent Regiment. Before he entered, he heard several officers inside discussing how they could come to a place like the Independent Regiment to learn. What were they learning? Learning about their banditry. Learning about how they would not even spare the dead.
What a bunch of bastards, they think they are so arrogant after they have some foreign education.
His face turned blue with anger. He lifted his glasses and strode in.
When several officers saw Commander Bai coming in, they immediately stood up straight like their grandsons.
It is true that they are the direct descendants of the Central Army, but facing such a person, they have no confidence to compete. This person was already famous throughout the country before they joined the army. At present, he has the full authority to coordinate the operations of all the armies in Jiangnan and holds the power of life and death over army-level generals.
This is what the above means. If you don't listen, the army-level generals will be killed directly. The one with the surname Li in the 16th Army is probably going to be executed soon.
Commander Bai squinted at the five or six people present and snorted coldly, "You are all unconvinced. Why don't you show me a record that will impress me? I can understand that you are not as good as others in offense, but you are also not as good as others in defense. Do you still have the right to be unconvinced?"
"Sir, we have just arrived at the battlefield and don't know enough about the Japanese army. Just give us a chance."
"I don't have that much time for you, nor do I have that many soldiers for you to waste." Commander Bai interrupted the colonel's sophistry and pointed to the independent regiment headquarters: "Go in, let them teach you what real infantry and artillery coordination is. Don't look down on others. If you have half of Zhou Weiguo's ability in school, I will admire you."
"Sir, didn't he graduate from the NCO Academy? Could it be that..."
"If you have the guts, go and force your school to award you the title of Outstanding Student before you graduate, and give you silver dollars to send you back to your country."
Isn't he just a bastard? Why does he seem so proud according to what Commander Bai said?
There is nothing to be proud of. It is just a huge disaster.
What is there for him to be proud of? Isn't this a national disgrace?
Everyone was stunned. They wanted to refute, but seeing that Commander Bai was angry, they finally followed him into the regiment headquarters.
As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, he saw several people standing in front of the map, drawing something. As the senior chief of staff of the independent regiment, Chao Xiang Xiuling, was actually in the mood to eat candy. Looking at the other people, they were all sloppy and had all kinds of attitudes. Zhou Weiguo was even more arrogant, dragging his chair and putting his feet on the table to smoke.
This... this is no wonder. The group of people who followed me in were not very convinced. No matter who came, I guess they would not be convinced. After all, it was really fucking embarrassing.
