Chapter 794, The third day is here

A staff officer said with emotion: "The Chinese army weapons are much more advanced than ours. In recent years, our Great Empire has always focused on the development of the navy and has invested very little in the army. Now democratic parties are suppressing military development everywhere, and in the end our Great Empire has fallen to a point where it is worse than China."

Kanwei Mitsumon said calmly: "Weapons also depend on who is using them. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing army's weapons were also stronger than ours, but we still won this war. Of course, weapons and equipment have important advantages, but the quality of soldiers is far more important than weapons and equipment."

Tohinazu Kuro nodded in agreement, "What the General said is very true."

Kamio Mitsumon sighed a long time ago and continued: "Obviously, the key to the problem now is that the Chinese team not only has good weapons and equipment, but also the quality of their soldiers has been greatly improved."

The staff officers talked in a low voice for a while. Although they were reluctant to admit that the combat capability of the Chinese team was improved, the facts did not allow them to have any objections. It was amazing to think that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing army would collapse without attacking, and the current Chinese soldiers dared to fight with the soldiers head-on, which was really shocking.

Asahinazu Kuro asked Kamio Mitsumon: "God General, I think the second round of attack can be launched immediately after dawn. All the Chinese soldiers on the Laiyang defense line have been fighting for two days, and the previous night attack has given them a heavy blow. I believe that as long as we continue to increase the offensive efforts, we can capture the Laiyang defense line within today."

Kamio Mitsumon shook his head slowly and said seriously: "Soldiers need to rest. To be honest, the only thing that made me feel relieved about tonight's night attack is that we have retained many reserve troops and did not put all soldiers into the battlefield at one time. These reserve troops are the only troops we can still exert full combat effectiveness. At this time, we should stabilize the front line and launch a rash attack again, which will only cause all soldiers to bear more casualties!"

Asahinazu Kuro emphasized: "It is precisely because of this that after the enemy and us experienced this night attack, the main forces were exhausted. But we have more troops than the Zhong*** team. We can use the reserve troops to continue to launch an attack and defeat the Zhong*** team before they recover."

Kamio Mitsumon had already made up his mind. He knew very well that the 18th Division could no longer be consumed in Laiyang County, but the facts were in front of everyone. It would be impossible to defeat the Zhongzhao team as soon as possible to arrive in Qingdao. Even if they fought for the Laiyang defense line at any cost, even if they won the war by chance, the 18th Division would eventually be seriously injured. How can the 18th Division, which suffered heavy losses, attack Qingdao? You must know that Qingdao has 8,000 German defenders!

Of course, he could not say that Asahinazu Kuro's idea was wrong. The night attack in the early morning also caused heavy damage to the Zhong*** team. From the morale of the soldiers to the damage to the position, if the second round of attack could be organized as soon as possible, he would definitely gain greater results. But if the soldiers under his command did not give the time to take a breath, it would be the result of both losses.

He sighed helplessly. This was a dilemma. The 18th Division could neither focus all on the Central *** team nor ignore the existence of the Central *** team!

"Anyway, this is my order, and there is no doubt about it. The soldiers need to rest, otherwise even if we desperately take down the Laiyang defense line, we will continue to launch a battle against Qingdao. As for the next combat plan, we will discuss it in three hours, and you should also have a good rest." Kamio Mitsumon said solemnly.

Although Asahinazu Kuro was unwilling to accept it, after all, Mitsumon Kamio was the supreme commander. Seeing the unwavering expression on the other party's face, he knew that nothing he said was useless and could only obey the order helplessly.

The officers in the headquarters were busy for two days and two nights, and they still didn't dare to relax easily. They finally had three hours of rest time to cherish it, so they left the headquarters and seized the time to make up for their sleep.

Kamio Hikamon left behind the logistics manager Ukita Kei Nao and asked him: "The front-line regiments are urging the back to ask for supplies. When can you send supplies to the front line as soon as possible?"

Ukita Kin-nata immediately said: "The Logistics Department has not had a rest, but this night attack is too large and the intensity of the attack is beyond expectations. Many troops cannot complete the supply as soon as possible. Furthermore, the night attack will push the front line to a wider place, and relying solely on the old official road is a bit stretched."

Kamio Mitsuko said seriously: "You don't have to tell me these reasons, you just need to tell me your efficiency."

Ukita Kyoshi didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly bowed and said, "I will definitely complete the task in the shortest time. Judging from the current situation, the Logistics Department not only needs to use all the transportation teams, but also needs to requisition civilians in nearby villages. I believe that it only takes half a day to deliver the supplies to the front line. However, after arriving at the front line, it will probably take more time to allocate various combat troops."

Kamio Mitsumon said in an orderly tone: "All supplies must be allocated before noon. Maybe we will organize a second attack in the afternoon."

Ukita Kyoshi's face looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refuse. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

After walking out of the headquarters, Ukita Kyoshi directly found his adjutant to discuss the issue of logistics transportation. He told Kano Ou Mitsumon's request. After hearing this, the adjutant also looked heavy and said with great concern: "Colonel, this is not a matter of how many transportation teams and civilians are, but a question of the capacity of the transportation line we are currently in control. The supplies sent by Lushun are piled up in Longkou, and there is more than a hundred miles from Longkou to the front line. The old official roads are rugged. If you really want to move forward like this, the entire official road will definitely be congested."

Ukita Kyoko sighed and said helplessly: "There is no way, this is an order. Besides, the front line really needs logistics supply. If you want to blame, we can only land on the landing battle this time. The materials can only be transported from Lushun to gather here little by little. There is no way to establish a completed logistics base on the way, so we can only make the transportation team work harder."

The adjutant didn't know how to evaluate it, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, please rest assured that the collar, and my subordinates must arrange the manpower as soon as possible."
