Rebirth of the National Marshal
Chapter 395: Tragedy of the 1st Division
When the sun rose, the Security Corps' Air Force also arrived near the battlefield as the first batch of planes. Below them, there were basically no targets that could be bombed, and these Japanese devils retreated very quickly. They understood that as long as daybreak came, it would be the world of the Security Corps' Air Force, and they must complete the retreat before daybreak.
Because the offensive had already failed, the Central China Front Command canceled their air force plan and all of their air forces did not take off.
For the Chinese people, this was a great victory. Both civilians and soldiers should be encouraged by this victory. This could be said to be the biggest victory since the war began. According to subsequent statistics, more than 1000 Japanese soldiers were killed.
The Japanese devils lost more than 100 artillery pieces in total, and at least 3 people lost their combat effectiveness.
Of course, more than 6,000 members of the security corps also lost their combat effectiveness.
This can be said to be the most heaviest loss in the security corps' battles. Even when they annihilated 8000 Japanese devils yesterday afternoon, they only lost dozens of people. According to this ratio, the casualties increased hundreds of times.
This is also directly related to the intensity of the Japanese devils' attack. In the afternoon, we were the ones attacking them, and they did not have any heavy weapons.
Throughout the night, the Japanese artillery did not stop. It was a rare occasion that they engaged in a direct attack against the Security Corps. In the past, as long as they discovered the whereabouts of the Security Corps, they would immediately transfer their artillery units, otherwise they would be hit hard. But this time was completely different from before. They were ready to confront you directly, and no matter how heavy the losses were, they would still confront you.
It is because of this that the security corps suffered such severe losses. Although the security corps suffered heavy losses, its foundation is still there, and it will not be difficult to restore its original appearance with time.
I don't know how many people were concerned about this night, from Mao Yuanshan who was far away in the Soviet Union to Jiang Baili in the Chahar Provincial Government and all the senior officials of the Nanjing government. None of them slept. On the Japanese side, almost everyone, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, was also concerned. For both sides, tonight was no less than a decisive battle.
When the results came out, the Chinese laughed, they finally won the victory, but the Japanese cried, they deployed their most elite 1th Division, and in the end not only did they destroy it, but they also put in 3/ of their entire front's artillery, and it didn't have any effect at all, but instead brought their morale to the lowest point.
Originally, their Central China Front Army had been triumphant, but they didn't expect that they would be unable to move forward after encountering the Security Corps. They used their most elite troops to fight against them, but in the end they got such a result. The soldiers could not help but find it hard to accept. Not to mention the loss of soldiers, even the officers could not accept it. Why did our Great Japanese Empire become such a wimp when encountering their Security Corps!
Lieutenant General Ogasawara, who was standing in the conference room, no longer had the high spirits of yesterday. His face was full of frustration. Strictly speaking, he could only be regarded as a regiment commander now, because his army had only one company, and the division had been completely destroyed.
"I have failed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and the Commander-in-Chief. I will commit seppuku later to thank the world for my death. But before that, I have something to say. I hope that when you encounter the Security Corps' army in the future, you will not confront them head-on. Our Japanese Empire soldiers are no match for them at all." Lieutenant General Ogasawara said these words calmly, as if he was telling everyone where he was going to have lunch today. There is such a tradition in their army that if you lose a battle, you must commit suicide.
"Mr. Ogasawara, you don't have to do this. The reason for the failure of the war is not you, but me. I will report to the headquarters later. You should go back and rest. When reinforcements from the country arrive, you will still be needed to continue to lead the 11th Division to fight. The empire cannot do without you. The empire's holy war cannot do without you. If you are going to commit suicide just because of a failure, I think no one here can survive." At this moment, Commander Matsui's words were so nice to hear. Lieutenant General Ogasawara, who thought he was going to die, actually ushered in spring. This commander actually took over all the mistakes and took the responsibility as a theater commander, so that he could save his life. Lieutenant General Ogasawara was so moved that he almost knelt down to him.
Commander Matsui's words made the others feel unhappy. A few days ago, you personally shot a major general and two masters. Why do you have to take all the blame for this guy today? Isn't this a bit unfair? They all looked at Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, hoping that his highness could stand up and say something fair.
However, His Royal Highness the Prince did not even look at them. Lieutenant General Ogasawara was not an ordinary person in the country. He had a very high reputation, especially in the academic world of weapons. His father and he had their own systems, and many people admired them.
If he were allowed to commit suicide here, or because of the reason he said, he would not be able to survive in the country when he returns. Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko is not crazy enough to say such a thing.
Vice Admiral Ogasawara's uncle also had many connections in the navy. The submarine torpedo used in the attack on Pearl Harbor was invented by his uncle.
It can be said that if this guy is really killed here, many people will feel uncomfortable when they go back. Although those people say that they are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, they are his family members after all. You forced them to death. How do you know what they are thinking?
Nothing may happen to you for the time being, but if you ask others for something in the future, then trouble will arise. No one with a brain would do such a thing. Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him, as if there was a flower on it.
Although the others were dissatisfied, since the two commanders of this front army did not speak, nothing was said. Lieutenant General Ogasawara saluted and hurried out. This was no longer a place for him to stay, and she felt a little ashamed at the moment.
