Chapter 320 Terauchi Shou 1 Forced to Resign
According to custom, the Japanese army would usually stop 400 meters away, then mobilize artillery to cover the infantry's advance, test the enemy's firepower and then make adjustments.
However, the Japanese troops who caught up with them did not stop at all, but went straight to 300 meters.
Chao Xiang Xiuling had recovered from the bombing just now. She shook her head vigorously and came to Zhou Weiguo and stuck her head out.
Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and slapped her on the head; "If you want to blow his head off, put your head in here."
Chaoxiang Xiuling, whose hat was knocked askew, pulled her head back and said, "It's about 300 meters."
"They have a sniper." Zhou Weiguo replied and narrowed his eyes; "Is Hei Mu really angry? He didn't try to test me. Isn't he worried that I will just shoot him directly?"
"Brother." Chao Xiang Xiuling called out and pulled at her military uniform with her hand. The earth-gray uniform and earth-gray cloth cap were completely different from the blue-gray uniform and German-style steel helmet of the Central Army.
The section she came from was right next to that place, so she was familiar with the composition of the troops here. Among the troops fighting here, the Central Army was the best equipped. Although not everyone was equipped with a steel helmet, every elite unit had one, a German steel helmet.
Next came the Gui Army, which wore khaki uniforms and many of them were equipped with Tony helmets. The shabby ones were the Sichuan Army, which did not even have enough weapons, let alone helmets.
"We are now the skin of the Sichuan Army. Have you ever seen any Sichuan Army that can afford to equip artillery?"
The Sichuan Army that can have an artillery company is at least at the army level. In a division, the best ones have a field gun, and those that don't have one can use mortars to make up the number.
The range and firing of mortars require certain conditions. In this kind of terrain, if you want to attack the enemy, the artillery position must be in the front.
Are there such conditions here? No, there are no such conditions.
Since there is no such condition, then he has nothing to worry about.
"That's right." Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette, crossed his arms, and looked at Chao Xiang Xiuling, who could have made a living by relying on her looks, but instead relied on her skills to make a living; "What do you think will happen to Terauchi Juichi if we defeat them?"
"Resign... Resign." Shigeru Miyamoto was standing next to Takeshita Shun. Just now, during the chat, he asked the captain a question.
This time, Terauchi Juichi was under pressure from the country and impulsively used the Chahar Detachment to attack the Sichuan Army. The captain also said that the Sichuan Army had probably let the Independent Regiment take over the fight.
Their fate is doomed to failure.
After this failure, where will Terauchi Juichi go?
The captain told me the answer was to resign.
"Captain, will he...will he resign?"
"It's not that he will resign, but the situation forces him to resign. You can also say that this is a step forward."
The combat effectiveness of the 14th Division was completely destroyed, and part of the Chahar Detachment was also destroyed by the enemy. The troops of the Northern Command in the Henan battlefield basically lost the ability to launch a large-scale attack. As the commander, he had an unshirkable responsibility.
Moreover, the headquarters' plan to advance Wuhan on the north and east fronts was forced to be interrupted, and the members of the royal family were tacitly killed in Tokyo. These things were all related to him.
No matter how he explained or how the base tried to protect him, he couldn't calm down the anger. The only way was to resign.
"This is his only choice, understand?" After explaining the reason, Takeshita Shun looked at Miyamoto Shigeru and smiled.
"Captain, do you think that Terauchi Juichi will know that the one who attacked him again was the Independent Regiment?" Shigeru Miyamoto asked another question. After all, there is another 27 who has such power over there.
"I will know. But even if I know, it's better not to know."
Bang.
Terauchi Juichi slammed the teacup on the table to the ground.
The chief of staff looked at the torn teacup, then raised his head to look at the commander in front of him, who had just been discussing with him how to stabilize the situation in Tokyo after the victory.
The front line was defeated. More than a thousand people from the Chahar Detachment were beaten down to less than three hundred people. The supplied tanks and trucks were destroyed or seized.
As for the supplies, unfortunately, those supplies could not be moved down because they were all snatched away by the other party's sudden counterattack.
The enemy had planned this long ago. Or rather, the moment news started to spread in Tokyo that a member of the royal family had been assassinated here and no one here was doing anything, the enemy had already planned this.
They were asking the commander in front of them to launch the attack, and they were also sure that this side would not attack the central army, so they deliberately selected the Sichuan Army, a local force that was easy to fight.
But who could have known that the intact plan was actually part of their calculations. They had already asked other troops to change into the uniforms of the Sichuan Army. The defeat on the first line was just a bait. Their killer move was on the second line.
Who is it, who is so vicious to come up with such a series of schemes? This is really vicious to the extreme, and I don't know who it is.
"Independent Regiment, Independent Regiment, you and I will never coexist." Terauchi Hisaichi's roar brought the chief of staff back to reality.
General, how do you know it is the independent regiment?
"General, you...are you..." Are you hating me for being confused?
"Who else but the Independent Regiment, a bunch of worse than bandits, would attack from the front and then start cleaning up the battlefield and taking off the pants of the dead in the back?
Only the Independent Regiment, a group of shameless people who are making money from dead people, would do such a thing.
The 14th Division had treated them in this way before, and now the Chahar Detachment had also treated them in this way.
This army is really shameless to the extreme. Are they that poor? They are just bastards that won’t even let the dead go.
"This... this is indeed their style." The chief of staff muttered speechlessly.
Hey……
After Terauchi Shouichi's grief and anger subsided, he looked around and closed his eyes helplessly; "I'm afraid I have to leave this place for a while."
"General, you...you are..."
Are you going to resign?
"The situation is already like this, I don't have any choice."
The original plan was to use the Chahar detachment's attack to gain a victory, and then report it to the headquarters, so that the victory would be published in the newspaper and the matter of Chaoxiang Xiuling would be over.
Who would have thought that Chahar's attack was actually a joke. Yes, a joke, a joke that was planned in advance.
At this point, he has no choice but to resign. The initiative is still in his hands. If he waits for the dismissal order to come down, he will lose both his dignity and money.
"General, we can explain it. This matter is really not our fault." Who could have thought that they would be so cruel.
"It's useless. Go and draft it." After signaling the chief of staff to leave, Terauchi Hisaichi stared at the telegram for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "Independent Regiment, wait for me. I will be back sooner or later."
