On the mountain ridge on the left side of Shentouling, the main attacking Japanese army was defeated by the Chinese and Indian troops. When they were rarely in a state of progress, the guards attacked the remnants of the 19th Regiment near the small village where the Japanese 19th Regiment was besieged, and the guards also attacked the remnants of the 19th Regiment from both east and west directions for an afternoon.

The 19th Relying on the forests, streams and ruins in the small village, the 19th Regiment built relatively solid fortifications. After an afternoon of tentative attacks, the troops of the 2nd Guard Division paid more than 300 casualties, but did not make any progress.

As the 19th Regiment had fortifications that could be relied on, he was full of fighting spirit. After repelling several attacks from the 2nd Division, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 2nd Division had a more determined will to resist. If the 2nd Division of the Guard Army wanted to quickly attack the village and wipe out the Japanese army, it would have to pay an extremely huge price.

Therefore, at around 5 pm, the commander of the Guard Army, Huang Congli, deputy commander Lu Liwei and others, after discussion, ordered the troops of the 2nd Division to temporarily stop the attack on the Japanese army. Several leaders of the 2nd Division immediately came to the military headquarters to hold a military meeting to discuss good strategies for annihilation of the 19th Regiment.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yang Yucheng, the commander of the 2nd Division, first reviewed his poor command, which caused the attack to be frustrated. The Japanese army did not kill many of them, but his troops lost more than 300 people.

Then, Yang Yucheng proposed two lessons from the afternoon battle to solve the Japanese army in a state of contraction.

At the end, Yang Yucheng said loudly: "Commander, let our 2nd Division continue to serve as the main attack tomorrow. Although our division's attack was frustrated, the morale of the officers and soldiers was not affected. As long as we can get the cooperation of mortars tomorrow, our army will be able to greatly compress the defense area of ​​the 19th Regiment and wipe out the corps as soon as possible."

"The situation has not been officially started in Shentou Village yet, and the situation is unknown." Lu Liwei shook his head and said, "Our army's artillery shells are transported from the headquarters. They are very precious. You cannot throw them into positional attack wars."

"No," Huang Congli said with a calm face: "The Japanese army that built fortifications is like installing teeth on a toothless tiger, which is very lethal. With infantry attack alone, if you want to eat the Japanese army in front of you tomorrow or the next day, it seems that it will cost several times the price to achieve."

"According to the combat qualities and fighting will shown by the Japanese army, even if you use mortars to attack immediately, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the Japanese army in a short period of time." Zhu Yixuan, the commander of the 1st Division, frowned and lowered his head sadly: "This time our army cannot wipe out the 19th Regiment in the movement, and also allowed the remnants of the regiment to assemble and build fortifications, which were all caused by my improper command..."

Before Zhu Yixuan finished speaking, Huang Congli interrupted him and said, "The combat effectiveness of the Japanese 19th Regiment is very strong. It is better for the 1st Division to annihilate most of its members."

After a pause, seeing that Lu Liwei and others nodded in agreement, Huang Congli continued: "After the remnants of the corps gathered to break into the small village, if I order the attack overnight and do not give the corps a breather, I can destroy the remnant army at the lowest price. Therefore, at this point, I have the greatest responsibility."

Zhu Yixuan wants to say something else, and Lu Liwei said loudly: "Everyone has a responsibility to fight this battle, so don't argue about who is right or wrong. As long as you summarize the experience and lessons, this battle will not be in vain.

According to the current situation of the Japanese army, we must not launch a strong attack in the name of tempering the troops. In this case, casualties will make us unable to bear it. As long as we besiege them for a few days, they will panic because of food exhaustion. Whether they break through or stick to it, they will be dead.

Therefore, if you want to easily annihilate the Japanese army, the most important thing is whether the Chinese and Indian troops stationed in Shentou Village can block the Japanese army's follow-up troops" read the latest and most complete novel http://eng.com/
