Chapter 243 The idea of the head of the Shanbao division
Submit the observer's report!
Commander Liu saw the dark mass of Japanese soldiers in the distance rushing towards the fort in three directions.
Wei Mingyang on the top of the mountain also saw this situation.
"What are the Japanese doing? They are so anxious to come up and die!" Wei Mingyang could not see the overall situation.
According to normal combat, the Japanese attack just now suffered such heavy losses.
At this time, the Japanese should withdraw their troops, reorganize their forces, and restore their morale.
To sum up the experience and lessons, even if you want to attack, you should wait a few hours before starting!
Attacking the entire army so quickly?
Their tentative attack is over!
He did not know that the Japanese Third Division was under fierce attack by the main force of the National Army.
Originally, the Chinese army deployed three divisions in this area to defend against the Japanese Third Division's attack.
The Nanjing Military Commission formulated a plan to annihilate the Japanese Third Division last night:
Last night, seven more elite infantry divisions and a heavy artillery regiment came in to assist the three originally garrisoned divisions in the counterattack.
Now ten divisions are launching an attack on the 17th Japanese Infantry Brigade.
The Japanese 17th Brigade was suffering terribly from the beating, and they had already begun to retreat towards Wusongkou.
Wusongkou Fort was the breakthrough point chosen by the Japanese.
The 6th Infantry Regiment located at this breach was of course anxious.
Captain Kuragatatsuji was so anxious that he almost went to the house to uncover the tiles:
The 17th Infantry Brigade, which had been compressed by the national army, was retreating in this direction.
If it could not seize the fort before the rout arrived, it would never be able to escape the charge of delaying the military aircraft.
The main reasons why Fujita put so much pressure on it are:
The 3rd Field Artillery Regiment is used by the 6th Infantry Regiment.
The third field artillery regiment of the division was given to you, but it still failed to complete its mission. It should be dealt with by military law.
Captain Dazheng Yangdou commanded all the last strength of the entire regiment and launched a charge against the Wusongkou Fort.
The hundred Japanese soldiers from Numata Jiahe's brigade, who had already had offensive experience, saw all the corpses of their accomplices on the way to the attack.
Although the devils are devils, there is still some affection between similar people.
I saw that my companions who were still alive in the morning had fallen to the ground dead at this time.
They also have the feeling of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.
These Japs were miserable and miserable along the way, and their morale had long since disappeared.
More than 700 of the entire infantry brigade have died here.
All living devils regard this place as the gate of hell. In their opinion, if you enter here, you will not survive.
If there was no military order forcing him, Shirota Hibiki would have turned around and ran back, lying down and crying.
It really wanted to cry: it had already seen two of the three devils who came from the same village lying on the roadside, and no one went to collect their bodies.
It is estimated that he will become a corpse soon, and no one will collect his corpse.
Thinking of this, Shirota Hibiki's body began to tremble involuntarily.
It really doesn't know if it can survive, but it doesn't want to die, it wants to live.
But the commander won’t let it live!
Shirota looked at Captain Numata Jiahe with hatred.
From Shiroda Nobo's simple point of view: it was the captain who forced them to die.
Sergeant Takenouchi Tatsuya also had the same idea. Its body was shaking a little even during the march, and it was obviously too scared.
Takenouchi Tatsuya would look back after taking a few steps: How he hoped the captain would give the order to retreat!
Captain Numata Jiahe certainly knows that the current atmosphere in the entire brigade is not right.
The brigade suffered so many casualties that it should have retreated, rested and replenished its troops before fighting again.
However, the captain forced them to return to the battlefield immediately, which was obviously asking them to die.
The dignified captain also had to rush to the front line, which made Captain Numata Jiahe very dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, what should be done must be done.
So many corpses along the way made it very uneasy: in order to attack the left side, the entire Numata brigade was buried here.
Now the focus of the breakthrough is on the middle road, which makes everything done previously in vain.
However, Captain Numata Jiahe now has no soldiers at his disposal, so he has no right to speak in front of the captain.
Basically no one is willing to listen to the suggestions it puts forward, and who is willing to listen to the plan spoken by a defeated general?
Do you really think that everyone is as stupid as it is?
Captain Numayama Jiahe cannot see the overall situation, if he knows that the 17th Infantry Brigade has chosen this place as a breakthrough point.
It will definitely be stopped: any place chosen as a breakthrough point is better than this place.
Because it has already felt: here is the strongest defense of the national army.
Captain Numata Jiahe's feelings were thought of by the Japanese Third Division Staff Headquarters and the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
However, unlike its choice, the commander of the Third Division, Susumu Fujita, and the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Matsui Iwane, both thought:
Break through from the strongest point, destroy the illusions of the national army, and force the national army to accept the terms of the negotiation as soon as possible.
If you look at the same problem from different heights and positions, your conclusions will be very different.
Numata Jiahe looked at the national defense line 300 meters away and began to feel scared: the more than 100 Japanese soldiers they had only had two machine guns.
When we first attacked, we also had grenade launchers and heavy machine guns to assist us.
Now all this firepower has gone into the hands of the defenders on the opposite side. Such an attack is destined to fail.
It also knew that in this round of attack, the Numata Brigade was used as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the national army and hold back the national soldiers in this direction.
Do not allow them to have any spare strength to support the defenders in the middle line of defense.
Numata Jiahe pointed to the location of the machine gun position set up during the last round of attack a hundred meters away and ordered:
"Hirosue-kun! Where is the machine gun position?"
Machine gunner Hirosue Ryo said with a little fear: "Your Excellency, Captain! So many machine guns in front are all broken into pieces."
"Don't worry! No two shells will fall into the same crater on the same battlefield."
"Hai!" This explanation made Hirosue Ryo feel a little relieved, and he quickly stood at attention and nodded.
"The Japs are here again!" The soldiers of the first company looked at the Japs charging towards them and laughed.
In their eyes, today's devils are not so vicious: they are just money-giving boys.
Company Commander Feng ordered: "Hide well! Do not shoot without orders!"
The Japanese who came to attack just now had better equipment and more people than this group of Japanese. They were all wiped out.
Now this group of devils is obviously here to die.
There is no grenade position and no heavy machine gun position.
Only two machine gun positions were established at a position of 200 meters.
Company Commander Feng ordered the soldiers to use the grenades they had just captured to attack the Japanese machine gun positions.
