Anti-Japanese War: I am the warlord of Ping'an County! The whole army is German!

Chapter 212 The Japanese division commander prepares for a night attack!

After the bodies of the Japanese and Tiger Guards soldiers were collected.

The sky gradually darkened.

But at this moment, thick smoke was billowing from behind both the Japanese positions and the Tiger Guards' positions.

This is the Japanese and the Tiger Guards burning the bodies of soldiers who died in battle.

After all, the weather is still a bit hot at this time, and the corpse cannot be kept, so cremation is the best way.

However, because both the Japanese and the Tiger Guards were burning corpses, the stench of corpses filled their respective positions.

Night has fallen completely.

In the headquarters of the Japanese 37th Division, more than ten miles away from Chidong County, the division commander, Takeshi Arai, was sitting on a chair.

Xin Jingtian Wu is preparing to launch a night attack on the Huben Division tonight, completely capture Chidong County, and eliminate Zhou Weimin.

So at this moment the command center was filled with officers from the Japanese 37th Division.

"Gentlemen, the battle of our 37th Division has attracted the attention of all forces in Jin."

"We attacked all day today, but we didn't capture Chidong County, nor did we kill many Tiger Guard Division soldiers."

"This is not a disgrace to our 37th Division."

"We were too arrogant. We thought the Tiger Guards were the same as the Chinese Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"They can be easily defeated and destroyed by our 30th Division."

"But the Tiger Guards are much stronger than the Chinese Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, especially their weapons and equipment."

"The Tiger Guards' weapons and equipment were all German-made, which caused us heavy casualties."

"In terms of weapons and equipment, our 37th Division does not have any advantages."

"Our 30th Division's conventional tactics cannot defeat or destroy the Tiger Guard Division."

"So I plan to launch a night attack on the Tiger Guards tonight."

"For this night raid, I hope you will not be afraid of casualties. Use the most fierce and swift attack to completely destroy the Tiger Guard Division."

"Six months ago, the Tiger Guards Division was a puppet army with less than a thousand men. But today, six months later, it has grown into a force of tens of thousands."

"You are all familiar with the Tiger Guards Division's battle record over the past six months, even though we all doubted their performance before."

"But I believe that there is no longer any doubt about the Tiger Guards' achievements."

"The Tiger Guards are developing very quickly, and I think they have foreign support."

"So for the sake of the empire, the Tiger Guard Division must be completely destroyed, and that means we must annihilate our 37th Division."

Division Commander Takeshi Araiida looked at the Japanese officers present and said coldly.

At this moment, the officers present all looked grim upon hearing this.

During the day, they took turns to attack and basically never stopped, but they failed to capture any line of defense of the Tiger Guard Division.

On the contrary, the losses are huge.

The number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded during the day has reached more than 6,000, which is an extremely shocking number.

This was also the heaviest casualties in a single day since the establishment of the 37th Division.

This was difficult for the Japanese officers who always had a high opinion of themselves to accept, but it was the fact.

Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also noticed the expressions of the officers and sighed inwardly.

Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also knew that today's losses had greatly shocked the Japanese officers, and that their mentality had been greatly affected.

The Japanese officers are all like this, so what about ordinary Japanese soldiers?

In fact, if possible, Chief of Staff Ike Jiuhe also wanted the 37th Division to suspend the attack.

Slowly besiege the Tiger Guards Division and slowly consume the Tiger Guards Division.

After all, there are not many soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division in Chidong County.

However, Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe also knew that he could not and dared not make such a suggestion.

Because the 37th Division received a telegram from Commander Yoshio Shinozuka an hour ago.

Commander Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the 37th Division to capture Chidong County as soon as possible and eliminate Zhou Weimin.

And the division commander, Takeshi Arai, also thought so.

Therefore, Chief of Staff Ike Kyuho was very clear that he could not stop the division commander Araiida Takeshi.

If Chief of Staff Ike Kyukazu really wanted to stop the division commander Araiida Takeshi's night attack.

If things go wrong, he might be escorted by the division commander Takeshi Arai to the presence of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

And just when Chief of Staff Chi Jiuhe was also thinking about it.

Division Commander Arai Takeuchi said, "Gentlemen, just an hour ago."

"Commander Yoshio Shinozuka sent a telegram requesting that our 37th Division capture Chidong County as soon as possible and destroy the Tiger Guard Division."

"Commander Yoshio Shinozuka is paying close attention to this battle."

After hearing what the division commander, Takeshi Arai, said, the Japanese officers were silent for a long time.

Then the commander of the 66th Regiment suddenly stood up, bowed and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander."

"Please allow me to personally lead all the soldiers of the 66th Regiment to launch the first attack on the Tiger Guard Division."

"Even if all of our 66th Regiment were to perish on the offensive, it would still be a glory for our 66th Regiment."

The 66th Regiment suffered the greatest losses during the day and also launched the most fierce attack.

And after the words of the 66th Regiment Captain.

The commander of the 67th Regiment also stepped forward to challenge, saying, "Your Excellency, Division Commander."

"I also ask for your permission to personally lead all the soldiers of the 67th Regiment to launch the first attack on the Tiger Guard Division."

"Our 67th Regiment will definitely capture the Tiger Guard Division's position."

"Even if all our 67th Regiment members die in battle, we will not hesitate."

After the two captains finished speaking.

The other Japanese officers all volunteered to fight.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I am also willing to personally lead the soldiers in the attack."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I am willing to personally lead our brigade in a suicide attack."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I am willing to sign a military order. If you cannot capture the Tiger Guard Division's position, I am willing to commit suicide by seppuku."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I am willing..."

......

After hearing this, the division commander, Takeshi Arai, stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the Japanese officers to be quiet.

After all the Japanese officers quieted down, Arai Tianwu said sternly: "Commander Shinozuka Yoshio has given us orders."

"As soldiers of the Empire, we have no choice but to obey, and we must obey."

"So I decided to launch a general attack on Chidong County tonight under the cover of darkness."

"This attack had no feints or main attacks. All four gates of Chidong County were main attacks and feints."

"Gentlemen, please let us die together in battle!"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese officers present shouted loudly: "We will follow the orders of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, and the orders of the division commander."

"For the glory of the dead country, fight to die, fight to die, fight to die..."
