Chapter 264 Morale Theory
After Kenji Ishihara issued the order, the soldiers from the entire mixed brigade quickly completed the assembly.
The captain Hiromoto Toyota shouted: "Report to General, our troops have already gathered, please tell me!"
"Um!"
Kenji Ishihara nodded, facing thousands of soldiers who had stretched for miles, shouted: "Just a few hours ago, there was a battle that might not be recorded in history, a unforgettable battle. I believe everyone should have seen hundreds of corpses lying on the land not far away. Everyone's hearts must be full of endless anger!"
"Yes, it's boundless anger!"
"I hope you remember this feeling and always remember it because it is our shame!"
"The warriors of our empire, in front of a group of farmers and beggars, show our incompetence and cowardice!"
"I ask you to remember that you are warriors of the empire. We will use the next battle to avenge the mistakes we have made!"
Immediately, the Kuroki Brigade under the Sato United was designated as the first offensive force of the brigade to attack the positions of the Eighth Route Army.
Immediately, the captain of the Black Wood Brigade, Major Heimu Xiong, shouted: "Please rest assured, the commander of the brigade, I, Heimu Xiong, and more than 800 soldiers from our troops, promise you in the name of the warriors that I will use the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame of our 82nd Brigade and defend the glory of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Swish!"
In an instant, all the officers and soldiers of the Kuroki Brigade gave a solemn salute to the brigade commander Kenji Ishihara!
After Kuroki Bear led his troops to leave, Hiromoto Toyota said bluntly: "Governor Captain, our troops' positions have not been built yet, and the artillery troops have not been launched. At this moment, the attack is inappropriate."
Although Hiromoto Toyota is cruel and ruthless, its tactical command ability is very outstanding.
The reason why the Japanese army was able to occupy most of China in just one year was not only relying on a group of combat soldiers, but also with extremely high military qualities;
Moreover, its strong industrial capacity ensures that it continuously provides powerful weapons and armaments to all Japanese troops.
The Japanese army's battle relies heavily on its powerful firepower output. Often, after a fierce artillery fire, the enemy on the opposite side will be completely frightened and will collapse without fighting.
However, the brigade commander Kenji Ishihara's move is a very contrary to common sense. Before the troops could launch their troops, they ordered the soldiers to launch an attack, which was an extremely serious command error.
Moreover, this move will greatly increase the casualties of soldiers.
"Yaxi!"
Kenji Ishihara did not refute Hiromoto Toyota's words, but praised: "Hiromoto, you are a soldier who dares to tell the truth, and I really appreciate this."
"But you just see the advantages and disadvantages of tactics, but you ignore the most essence of battle, that is the morale of an army!"
"A month ago, because your troops attacked the Taihang Mountains, our army suffered losses and generals, and a seed of fear had been planted in the soldiers' hearts."
"The Iichuan Brigade is the vanguard of our battle, and it is also the first brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness. With its defeat, the previous loss of soldiers and generals was added, which was far more than 11 and 2. The seeds of fear have completely fermented, greatly reducing the morale of thousands of people in our army."
"If we wait for the army to fully unfold at this moment, our morale will definitely drop even further and be unfavorable to the war!"
"The Kuroki Brigade is an elite army armed with Bushido ideas. They will surely be able to show our army's strength on the battlefield and wipe out our army's sluggishness. It will be extremely beneficial for our next battle!"
"Hi!"
At this moment, Hiromoto Toyota was extremely impressed by Kenji Ishihara's theory of "morality".
The initial plan of the Japanese army was to let the vanguard troops build a solid position, and wait for the brigade troops to arrive, and the infantry and artillery forces to use their powerful firepower to completely defeat the White Tiger Column.
However, with the defeat of the Ikawa Brigade, this plan could only be given up!
In fact, just now, Hiromoto Toyota wanted to give advice, "We can use Chinese soldiers' prisoners of war as our cannon fodder, and put them at the forefront of our army to cover our attack."
But at this moment, Hiromoto Toyota still didn't say it.
Because he knew very well that if such a slightly despicable means were used at this moment, it would only make the morale of the brigade even more despicable.
Kenji Ishihara smiled again and said, "Actually, I don't expect the Kuroki Brigade to rush into the Eighth Route Army's position. Moreover, with the combat effectiveness of the White Tiger Column, it is impossible for us to defeat them with just one brigade's strength. My purpose is to divert the attention of all soldiers in the brigade!"
"It doesn't matter whether the Black Wood Brigade wins or loses. As long as you attack the Eighth Route Army positions once, it will arouse the soldiers' fighting spirit!"
Regardless of victory or defeat?
As long as you attack now, can you improve your morale?
Upon hearing this, even Hiromoto Toyota, who had always claimed to be a Japanese genius, was stunned.
Kenji Ishihara is well versed in military tactics, and his tactics and strategic methods are obviously much better than him!
Kenji Ishihara's ability is the most outstanding among the Japanese commanders he followed, no one!
I really feel endless honor to be able to serve under such a general!
~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The blue bridge paves our army's position.
Ouyang, Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao, and the Second Regiment Commander Jiang Daya and others all discovered the abnormalities of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army launched an attack without firming their foothold?
This greatly violates the Japanese army's usual combat strategy!
"It's unreasonable, what tricks are the Japanese playing?" Jiang Daya couldn't help but wonder.
Ouyang was also puzzled.
Kenji Ishihara, what exactly do you mean?
Is it because I want to fight to make a difference?
But this is obviously impossible?
It was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to put all their troops into the first attack!
Because everyone knows that positional warfare emphasizes the use of artillery offensives and conducts combat in stages, which is conducive to reducing casualties of soldiers on one's own side, and can also effectively launch attack situations.
Ouyang couldn't help but say, "What kind of fog is there?"
"Dingdingding, Dingdingdingding!"
At this time, the phone in the command post of the frontier position rang, and Jiang Daya, as the commander of the frontier position, answered the phone.
From the phone, the voice of Zhang Pujing, the political commissar of the Second Corps, immediately came from the voice of Zhang Pujing.
"Captain of the regiment, I am Zhang Pujing. Now a Japanese army brigade, with about 800 troops, is launching an attack on our frontier positions. Should we launch a counterattack immediately?"
Immediately, Jiang Daya ordered: "Political Commissar, tell the first battalion to open fire with all its might. Be sure to intercept the Japanese army outside the position. Never let the Japanese take a step beyond our position!"
"Ding Dong!"
System prompt: Wang Yaqiao triggers the skill "Good Conspiracy". When he is trapped in the enemy's conspiracy, his wisdom value increases by 5 points, and the current wisdom value is 85 points.
"not good!"
Suddenly, Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao suddenly bounced from his seat, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "No, this is the Japanese conspiracy!"
At this moment, Wang Yaqiao immediately ordered in the name of the chief of staff of the column: "Jiang Daya, please inform the frontline positions immediately. As long as the Japanese army approaches our position, make a clear cut immediately and put all the Japanese army in for me. We will destroy them in the position."
“Uh~~~~?”
For a moment, Jiang Daya was puzzled and Ouyang didn't understand why.
Anyone with a little tactical qualities knows that putting the enemy into the position is a very dangerous move. Using this tactic is usually the army that falls into a desperate situation and will only use it if it is necessary.
Fierce battles with the Japanese army in the position will inevitably greatly increase the number of casualties in our army.
Wang Yaqiao immediately explained: "The Japanese commander on the opposite side is definitely not simple. I guess this tactic was made by the Japanese brigade commander Kenji Ishihara!"
"This Japanese devil is very familiar with our Chinese military strategy. He is learning from Xiang Yu to burn his boats, learning from Han Xin to fight against the water, and learning from Cao Cao to look at the plum blossoms to quench his thirst!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang and Jiang Daya immediately became clear.
Ouyang couldn't help but curse: "Kenji Ishihara, this move is so powerful. Once he becomes a good person, the morale of the Japanese who just shot down by us will definitely soar!"
Jiang Daya also said: "That's true. This is indeed awesome. Whether the Japanese offensive troops win or lose, they can successfully divert the attention of the Japanese troops in a very short time."
"Um!"
Wang Yaqiao said with lingering fear: "This is the terrible thing about [Mortality Theory]. The attacking troops only need a simple tentative attack, with a very small cost of casualties, to stimulate the morale of the entire army. Why not do it?"
Morale theory, whether it is victory or defeat, can successfully divert the attention of the other Japanese troops.
The Black Wood Brigade, which is responsible for the attack, only needs to attack for more than ten minutes. It is enough to make sense. It only takes the lives of dozens of soldiers to stimulate the morale of thousands of soldiers.
But Wang Yaqiao's plan was to completely eliminate the Black Wood Brigade to relieve the Japanese.
As the saying goes, things will turn back when extremes are the same, too much is just as bad as too little!
Once the Black Wood brigade, which was responsible for the attack, was completely wiped out, it would inevitably cause ten thousand points of psychological harm to the soldiers on the Japanese position.
Wang Yaqiao saw through morale theory!
Next, it depends on whether Jiang Daya can completely break the Ishihara Old Ghost’s method!
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Daya was immediately full of heroism and said, "Since Ishihara Kenji, since he gave us a head, he couldn't bear to give it too much. He was so petty. Since that's the case, I'll take it myself!"
