Chapter 343 Beating the Japanese Army (Part 2)
After lunch, Aaron Kwok-ming, the commander of the Chinese-Indian reorganization division, Zhuge Changjie, and others were about to go to the hospital in the town to visit the injured officers and soldiers who fought in the morning. Song Ping, the chief of staff who stayed behind the division headquarters, hurriedly sent an emergency telegram that had just been sent from Pontianak.
After reading the telegram, the division commander Aaron Kwok-ming changed his face and handed the telegram to the political commissar Zhuge Changjie and said, "Everyone, the hidden intelligence personnel in Pontianak sent an emergency telegram. The main force of the Japanese 9th Division, led by the division commander Katsuka Tsuka Moto, set off from Pontianak at around 8 am this morning and rushed to our Sota Town. If there is no accident, the day after tomorrow, its main force will arrive at Sota Town."
Aaron Kwok-ming said and walked, leading everyone to the division headquarters.
"Teacher Commander, the first brigade of the Seventh Japanese Army Corps is now gathering near the hillside ten miles away. Since we want to do a big battle, why not let our subordinates lead the First Brigade to destroy them first to strengthen their momentum," Lin Nandong, the commander of the First Brigade, shouted loudly.
"Brig Commander Lin, this task is too arduous. I'm afraid your first brigade will not be completed." Chief of Staff Song Ping interrupted.
Lin Nandong was slightly stunned and said dissatisfiedly: "Chief of Staff Song, do you think that more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of my brigade can't beat a brigade of more than 1,000 Japanese people? Don't forget that my small army almost ate one of its squadrons in the morning."
Song Ping smiled and shook his head and said, "Brig Commander Lin, I don't mean this. According to the latest news, the second battalion of the Seventh Japanese Army's Seventh Regiment has joined with the First Battalion, and its mountain artillery squadron is about to arrive under the protection of the Third Battalion. Therefore, if your first brigade launches a rash attack, it will definitely be severely defeated."
"**So the entire enemy corps has come, so we won't have any plays to sing." After everyone entered the division headquarters, Lin Nandong said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, just stay here obediently and wait for the Japanese army to attack," Song Ping said with a hint of reference.
After everyone sat down, Aaron Kwok-ming first said to Song Ping: "Chief of Staff, please tell me what action plan we should take next."
"Yes" Song Ping had already made a plan on the way he came, and said confidently: "Teacher Commander, Saburo Kimura, the leader of the Seventh Regiment, has always been arrogant and confident. When he learned that we only had more than 7,000 people in Sota Town, I believe Saburo Kimura will soon launch an attack on Sota Town."
Speaking of this, Song Ping walked to a huge map in front of the conference table, picked up a small wooden stick, pointed up and down at the map, and said loudly: "Everyone, my plan is that if the Seventh Regiment does not wait for the subsequent large troops to arrive, we will launch an attack. We will guard Sota Town with a brigade's strength to attract the Seventh Regiment.
Then, the Second Brigade and Third Brigade, which were ambushing the secret places south and north of Sota Town, had more than 14,000 people, quickly attacked the Seventh Regiment from two directions.
At the same time, more than 6,000 people from two independent regiments hidden in the mountains and forests quickly browsed the back of the Seventh Regiment, closed the door and beat the dog, and wiped out the Seventh Regiment in front of Sota Town."
"I am worthy of being the chief of staff who has been to the military academy. This plan is very suitable for me." Division Commander Aaron Kwok-ming clapped his hands and agreed: "The Japanese army took us as garbage on the spot, thinking that we could easily take Sota Town with just one corps. Humph, I want to let them know what it means to lose Jingzhou."
Deputy Division Chief Labaya asked, "Mr. Chief of Staff, what actions should we take if the enemy stands still?"
Song Ping pondered: "I originally planned to take a night attack to launch an attack on the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is far better than our army. In addition, our army's night attack training has not been completed, so the night attack ability is not very strong.
Therefore, if a surprise attack is carried out late at night, it is likely that both sides will suffer. In this case, it may cause our army to be unable to launch large-scale battles in a short period of time, which will be more than worth the effort.”
Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie said in a deep voice: "If the enemy stands still and wait until the large army arrives before launching an attack, I suggest that we resist in Sota Town for a while and then retreat directly. When the enemy is careless when pursuing, we will encircle and annihilate one of them and try our best to hurt the Japanese army."
"Well, just do it like this," said division commander Aaron Kwok-ming happily: "Chief of Staff, immediately formulate two detailed plans and send them to the General Staff Department, and ask for their opinions."
"Yes," Song Ping agreed and walked quickly towards the war room.
Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie stood up and said, "Teacher Commander, you can stay here to command the overall situation. Now I'm fine, so I'll go to the hospital to see our brave soldiers."
Aaron Kwok had already lying on the map at this time, and he casually agreed after hearing this: "Okay, political commissar, go and go back quickly."
...
At 1 pm, commanders at the level of the brigade commander of the Seventh Japanese Army Regiment gathered in a temporary tent to hold an emergency pre-war meeting.
The corps leader Saburo Kimura first praised the bravery and tenaciousness of the second infantry squadron of the First Battalion for the secret ambush.
Then, he criticized the shamelessness of the Indonesian xenophobic army, and then said with relief: "You guys, the Second Infantry Squadron not only repelled the Indonesian army of more than 1,200 people, causing them several times their casualties. Moreover, they continued to attack outside Sota Town and discovered the reality of the enemy."
"Yoshi is really worthy of being the army of our Great Japanese Empire"
"The Second Squadron has won glory for our seventh Regiment and deserves the award."
Captains of the Clan and several other corps commanders spoke and praised them.
Saburo Kimura laid his hands, and the tent suddenly became silent.
"Now, there are 6,000-7,000 Indonesian xenophobic troops in Sota Town are waiting for us. They are extremely arrogant and arrogant to slap the banner of 'destroying the Japanese invaders'." Kimura Saburo said angrily, "You guys, what should we do?"
"Ba Ge Yalu kills them all and steals them all"
Headed by Major Yoshimasaki Kato, the commanders clenched their fists and shouted loudly in unison.
"Yosi, you are all good," the captain of the regiment, Saburo Kimura praised and ordered: "Kato, still use your first brigade as the vanguard. After accepting the order, your brigade sets out immediately and attacks Sota Town. Be sure to arrive and clear the enemy troops outside Sota Town within three hours to clear obstacles for the subsequent troops."
"Hai, please let your grandson go, and the humble position will be completed resolutely." After receiving the order loudly, Major Yoshimasa Kato received the order, he saluted a military salute and then left the army to set off.
"The other two brigades and mountain artillery squadrons are closely behind the First brigade and are ready to fight the Indonesian xenophobic army at any time," Kimura Saburo said loudly.
After receiving the orders from the "Hai" commanders, they quickly left and prepared to set off...
