Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

After the casualties were counted, Sadayo went to Nakano's tent.

Sadayoue: "Report to the commander, we dispatched 5,000 troops today, 3,160 died, and 758 were slightly injured..."

As he spoke, Sadaoue's voice became lower. Three thousand people died and more than seven hundred were injured.

By this calculation, there are only about three thousand people left who can fight?

This... Today's attack was obviously more fierce than yesterday's, why are the casualties so high?

He had to bear the wrath from Nakanoda.

Nakanoda glared at Sadao Inoue: "What? There are so many casualties. How did you command the battle, Sadao-kun?!"

"If this continues, do you think we can still capture the New Fourth Army base?"

Nakano Tamao always felt that taking over the New Fourth Army base would not be a problem and would be easy to take over.

As a result, after two days of fighting and two attacks, the casualties on his side reached more than 4,000, not counting those who were slightly injured.

More than half of his troops are gone, so how can he still take over the New Fourth Army base?

Sadaoue and the chief of staff wanted to speak, but they didn't dare.

The battle plan was drawn up by Nakano Tamao himself. They had long ago proposed that all the troops involved should attack directly and capture the New Fourth Army base in one fell swoop.

It was Nakanoda himself who refused to do so and insisted on attacking in several stages.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to disperse the troops? The New Fourth Army base was obviously not as strong as theirs.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Nakano Tamao no longer sticks to his battle plan.

At the beginning, he boasted that he could take over the New Fourth Army base without any effort.

If he failed to establish a base in the end, he would not know how he would be ridiculed when he returned, and he could not accept that.

No matter what method we use, we must take down the New Fourth Army base.

Nakano Tianfu: "Do you have any good ideas to take over the New Fourth Army base?"

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and then said, "I think we can launch a surprise attack on the enemy late tonight."

"They have been holding off our attacks for two consecutive days of fighting, so they will definitely let down their guard at this time."

"If we launch a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely catch them off guard. They must have suffered a lot of casualties in the past two days."

"The remaining troops are no match for us. As long as we can successfully infiltrate, we can capture the New Fourth Army base tonight."

Nakanoda fell into thought, this plan sounded good.

Even if the other side is prepared, they have an absolute chance of winning if they have more troops than the other side.

After thinking it over again, Nakano rejected the chief of staff's plan.

Nakanoda: "Have you ever considered the trenches they dug and the mines they like to bury?"

"How can you be sure that the enemy won't plant mines on the route or set traps in the trenches?"

"Especially those trenches, which are hard to see clearly at night. If there are traps, there is no way back."

"It is best not to let the other side discover your sneak attack. If you step on a landmine, it is no longer a sneak attack."

Sada Inoue and the chief of staff thought about it and realized that it was true. It seemed that sneak attack was not a good tactic.

Especially during a sneak attack, the enemy set up an ambush in the trenches, and they may not even know how many people have died.

Continue the frontal attack?

Today's attack was not smooth at all, especially after entering the trenches, many people never climbed out again.

Sadaoue knew very well that many people actually died in the trenches.

There are only about 3,000 left. If we attack head-on, can they still capture the base?

They were very confident before coming, but at this moment, some people began to waver.

Maybe, maybe their tactics were wrong from the beginning, but no one dared to say that Nakano was wrong at this time.

It is even more impossible for Nakanoda to say that he was wrong! .

Chapter 881 Decapitation Operation! A mature precedent for special operations (first update, please subscribe)

No one will admit that they are wrong, let alone admitting that they are wrong in front of their subordinates, which is absolutely impossible.

Nakanoda: "There is one more thing you need to consider."

"There are nearly 2,000 people who participated in the battle today and are still capable of fighting. How could they launch a surprise attack at night? They need to rest."

They had only participated in the battle during the day and launched a surprise attack at night. Those soldiers didn't get a good rest at all.

After this analysis, it was decided that launching a surprise attack at night was not a good tactic and we had to give up.

Nakanoda: "Think about it again, is there any other way?"

After much thought, I couldn't come up with a good tactic, so I ended up having to resort to a frontal attack.

However, this time the attack will not take place on the second day, but on the third day.

Give time for those lightly injured soldiers to recover, and let the soldiers rest. The general attack will be launched the day after tomorrow. All the troops that can be mobilized will be mobilized!

On the other side, after cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Xuewen and Wu Zhongyong came to the command room. They came to report the casualties and spoils of war, etc.

The two battalions had a total of 3,000 people. This time, more than 1,200 people were killed, more than 300 were seriously injured, and more than 400 were slightly injured.

The death toll of the Japanese was probably close to three thousand.

According to this calculation, the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army is about 2,500, which is better than expected.

The enemy's troop strength may be around 3,500, which is slightly less than previously estimated.

From this perspective, it seems that the situation is not as bad as we thought.

If the Japanese attacked with all their might as soon as they arrived, they would definitely not be able to stop them. However, they did not expect that the Japanese attacked in several batches, which coincided with their layers of blocking.

I don’t know what Nakanoda was thinking, but it was thanks to his cooperation that they were able to hold their base.

Han Feng: "What are you going to do next?"

Since the command has been handed over to Su Zheng, how to block the attack next will of course depend on Su Zheng.

Su Zheng looked at the people in the command room. Except for Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff, he asked Fang Tianyi and Chen Tianfang to stay and everyone else to leave.

Su Zheng: "This is what I thought. After midnight tonight, Fang Tianyi, Chen Tianfang and I will each lead our special forces to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese."

Fang Tianyi and Chen Tianfang's eyes lit up when they heard this plan. A sneak attack was a good idea, as they were just thinking of making some moves.

Fang Tianyi: "Tell me how to act specifically."

Su Zheng: "Most of the Japanese troops have participated in the battle today. They will definitely have a good rest at night. They will not choose to launch a surprise attack on us."

"This is our chance."

"After we sneak over, we'll first move the enemy's ammunition. This is what we need."

"Then go kill the devils, just slit their necks, be quick, accurate and ruthless, and try to kill as many devils as possible in the limited time."

"Avoid the seriously injured devils. Some of them may not be able to sleep at night, so they may easily find us. Besides, if we leave them to the enemy, they will be a burden to them."

"The primary target is guns and ammunition. If we take these away, we won't have time to kill a single enemy. That's enough for us."

Without guns and ammunition, the Japanese will have no way to attack, so I don’t believe that Nakano will not leave.

Of course, it would be better if we could take away guns and ammunition and kill some of the Japanese.

After listening to the plan, Han Feng said worriedly: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go like this?"

"What if the other party has set a trap? Wouldn't you just walk into it?"

Su Zheng: "We will be careful and investigate the situation first to make sure we can act. If the other party is prepared, we will come back directly."

Chen Tianfang: "Commander, we won't go and die, don't worry."

Han Feng said nothing more after seeing this. He couldn't persuade them. Besides, he had already handed the command to Su Zheng, so they had to listen to him.

After a discussion, several people decided on the final plan.

Afterwards, Su Zheng went to find Zhou Changde, the battalion commander of the first battalion.

Ask him to organize a battalion of soldiers who are not injured or whose injuries do not affect their operations, to meet them at night and help move the guns and ammunition back.

Zhou Changde was very excited when he heard about this plan and agreed to it immediately.

Su Zheng specifically emphasized that people who act at night must be extremely cautious and reliable, and those who are unreliable must not be told the plan.

Zhou Changde patted his chest and promised that he would not do anything bad.

After arranging Zhou Changde, Su Zheng went to find Wei Dayong, Chen Zhengguo, and Yan Shuangying.

Su Zheng: "There will be an operation tonight. You all will bring your men with me to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's camp."

"First, we need to get rid of the devils guarding the guns and ammunition. Let Wei Dayong lead the guard platoon to move the guns and ammunition. Chen Zhengguo will lead the Dragon Soul Special Forces to kill the devils."

· ····Request flowers·· ··

"We'll go find Nakanoda and kill him."

Move away the guns and ammunition, kill some of the Japs, and then kill Nakano Tamao. I don’t believe the remaining Japs can stay.

"Notify everyone first and have them get ready to assemble at midnight."

Wei Dayong/Chen Zhengguo: "Yes, Captain."

Yan Shuangying: "Captain, actually just leave Nakano Tianfu to me, you just need to be in charge of the command."

Su Zheng’s skills were so good that with him around, Yan Shuangying doubted that he had any chance of killing Noda.

Su Zheng: "It will be faster if we split up and act separately. The sneak attack cannot last too long. After all, the enemy still has three to four thousand people."

It wasn't just the two of them who went out, there were also the Guard Platoon, the Dragon Soul Special Forces, the Canglang Special Forces, and the Black Fox Special Forces.

... .. .......

The advantage of having more people is that we can find guns and ammunition faster and move them more quickly, and we can kill more Japanese.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to be discovered, and retreat is not as easy to hide as with fewer people.

Yan Shuangying thought about it and accepted the arrangement. He had already joined the Tiger Guards and should obey the command of the commander.

……

At midnight, the night was so dark that even the moon was hidden.

It was a great day for a surprise attack.

Su Zheng, Fang Tianyi, Chen Tianfang, and Zhou Changde gathered with their men.

Zhou Changde and his men stayed in the bunker. Since there were many of them, it would not be easy for them to be discovered if they stayed in this location.

Fang Tianyi and Chen Tianfang led two special forces teams to move guns and ammunition together with Wei Dayong's guard platoon, and then handed them over to Zhou Changde and others before returning to kill the Japanese.

If you are discovered, retreat immediately and don't fight.

However, you can create some trouble for the Japanese when leaving, such as throwing a few grenades.

After reconfirming their respective division of labor and determining the time of action, the group headed towards the enemy's camp under the cover of night.

No one spoke along the way, and even the footsteps were deliberately made lighter.

At this moment, Nakano Tamao, who had fallen into a deep sleep, could never have imagined that instead of him launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night, Su Zheng brought his men to attack them.

Moreover, the Japanese were not on guard at all and never thought they would be ambushed.

The hunting time is about to begin. How many people can live to see the sun tomorrow?

Chapter 882: Retire after Success, This Time with Riches! (Second update, please subscribe)

Soon, Su Zheng and his group approached the Japanese camp.

In the camp, the fire was about to go out, and the Japanese soldier guarding the fire was dozing off.

The patrol team didn’t see it, and I don’t know if they didn’t see it or if they were asleep too.

The Japanese set up some tents, and basically no one slept outside the tents, which was convenient for them.
