Chapter 345
In a stone cave that was opened shortly after the mountain behind Sota Town, the transmitter was ticking and ticking. The headquarters of the Chinese-Indian reorganization division was stationed in this stone cave.
When he learned that a brigade of Lin Nandong had set up a poison plan, he completely destroyed the Japanese 1st brigade after meeting him. There was a burst of joy in the division headquarters.
"This kid Lin Nandong is worthy of being a military academy and is really good at fighting," Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie praised him with a rare word.
"Hehe, our overall strength is far from that of the Japanese army. If we don't use strategies, we must not block the Japanese army's attack." Chief of Staff Song Ping said happily: "Then the division commander will arrange for the brigade commander Lin who is good at using strategies to take on the arduous task of head-on blocking."
The commander Aaron Kwok-ming leaned on the seat with half-squinted eyes, smiling without saying a word.
Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie nodded and said, "Although Brigade Commander Lin is a powerful general in war, he has no consideration in his daily work and likes to monopolize power. The Brigade has almost become his one-man show. After this battle, his prestige will be improved again, and by then, this kid will be even more amazing."
Chief of Staff Song Ping turned around and received a telegram from a division chief staff member to watch, but did not answer the conversation.
The division commander Aaron Kwok sat down and said, "Oh my political commissar, fighting is important at this time, so don't say these irrelevant things."
Zhuge Changjie frowned and was about to refute him, Aaron Kwok quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, political commissar, this battle is over. I will teach you a good lesson with you, so that he can be a good person in the future with his tail between his legs."
"It's not necessary to be a human being with a tail between legs," Zhuge Changjie smiled and said, "What I mean is to ask Brigade Commander Lin not to stretch his hands too long, and leave some things that should not be taken care of, and leave them to those who should be taken care of."
As the two were talking, Chief of Staff Song Ping had finished reading the telegram and handed the telegram to the division commander Aaron Kwok-ming, and interrupted, "Team Commander, Political Commissar, this is an urgent telegram sent by the General Staff Department. The headquarters basically agreed to our plan.
However, the headquarters emphasizes that although the cavalry corps of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army are still resting on the spot, once the war ahead is unfavorable, they will immediately send cavalry to the 7th Regiment. In this regard, we do have some considerations."
Aaron Kwok suddenly stood up, paced back and forth for a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Because the roads from Pontianak to Sota Town are relatively flat and conducive to the actions of the cavalry, I decided to change my plan."
Chief of Staff Song Ping continued, saying, "Teacher Commander, let me guess your new deployment, how about it?"
Aaron Kwok nodded.
Song Ping stood up and said, "Let two independent regiments who are responsible for closing the door and fighting dogs, after dark tonight, they will destroy the roads that the enemy troops in Pontiania are about to pass by.
The Second and Third Brigades, which were attacked from north to south, each sent a regiment, and set off after dark to catch the back of the Seventh Regiment, and take on the task of closing the door and fighting dogs."
"Hahaha, Chief of Staff, we really coincided." Aaron Kwok-ming said with a smile: "After the first brigade of the Japanese army was crippled, apart from the heavy machine gun squadron and the mountain artillery squadrons of each squadron, the Seventh Regiment, which was alone and deeply involved, was only more than 2,000 soldiers who could really fight.
Because the Japanese army underestimated us too much, if they launched another attack while it was still dark, they would suffer losses. Therefore, our three brigades had more than 20,000 people, and were more than ten times the strength of the Japanese army."
"That's true, my subordinates will immediately issue an order." Seeing Aaron Kwok-ming nodding in agreement, Song Ping quickly walked towards the sender.
"Wait," Aaron Kwok-ming suddenly shouted: "Chief of Staff, take the general attack half an hour earlier. I want all Japanese to be starving ghosts."
Song Ping happily accepted the order.
After a while, Song Ping came back after sending the order and handed Aaron Kwok-ming a telegram.
After reading this, Aaron Kwok looked excited and said happily: "Haha, I'm worried that it will be difficult to continue to launch an attack and eat up the Japanese army's follow-up troops. Now, there will be another big battle next."
Political Commissar Zhuge Changjie couldn't wait to read the content of the telegram, so he couldn't wait to ask why.
Song Ping smiled and said, "The First People's Liberation Army Corps, which was expanded from the First Reorganized Division, has come to support our army. The corps consists of three mountain troops, each with more than 20,000 people, totaling more than 70,000 people. Together with our Sino-Indian reorganized division and other troops, it is enough to deal with the Japanese army above two divisions."
"Okay," Zhuge Changjie said excitedly: "In this way, the battle will get bigger and bigger, and our officers and soldiers will also get real training."
...
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the Seventh Japanese Regiment, under the command of the corps leader, Colonel Kimura Saburo, once again attacked Sota Town.
Under the cover of continuous artillery fire, more than 1,000 Japanese troops easily invaded Suota Town and quickly advanced into the depths of the town.
However, the Japanese army, which had lost the cover of artillery fire, was under strong resistance in the town, and the officers and soldiers of a brigade who were several times more powerful than those of them.
Since some officers and soldiers of the brigade were baptized by Japanese artillery fire in the afternoon, and other officers and soldiers also received strict orders to fight to the death. Therefore, after the battle started, the officers and soldiers of the brigade fought fiercely with the Japanese army by relying on the advantages of terrain and number of people.
After more than an hour of battle, it was dark. The captain of the regiment, Saburo Kimura, asked someone to inquire about the situation of the battle. He knew that the matter was not done, so he ordered the troops to withdraw and wait until tomorrow.
In this battle, more than 300 Japanese soldiers were killed and killed, and they were hit again. More than 700 people were injured in a brigade, which was twice as much as the Japanese soldiers.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Saburo Kimura had supper and summoned the captains of various teams to discuss.
The captain of the first brigade, Major Yoshimasaki Kato resented the insidiousness of the Indonesian xenophobic army, and then advised Kimura Saburo: "Colonel, although the enemy's combat power is not as good as ours, unlike the Qing army who only knows how to escape, their will to resist is relatively tenacious. Relying on the large number of people and some conspiracies, it is difficult for our army to defeat them in a short time."
Speaking of this, Kato Yoshimasaki secretly observed the faces of everyone. Seeing that the captain of the regiment, Saburo Kimura nodded slightly, the others did not express anything, he continued: "So, Huzhi suggested that our army temporarily stop attacking tomorrow and rest on the spot. When the other troops of the post-Tiantian Division arrived, we would have no worries and launch an attack."
"Baga Kato, are you afraid of being beaten by Indonesian monkeys? You actually asked Colonel to stop the attack?" The captain of the third brigade could not help but cursed coldly.
However, the captain of the second brigade said a few fair words to Kato Yoshihara and expressed his support for Kato Yoshihara's opinion.
Although the captain of the regiment, Saburo Kimura was arrogant and confident, in such a harsh situation, if he still refused to give in and continued to launch a blind attack without waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive, he would not deserve to be a regiment commander.
Therefore, Saburo Kimura decided to accept Kato Yoshimasato's suggestion, stop the attack tomorrow, rest on the spot, and wait for other division troops to arrive before launching an attack...
