Yamaho Munetake of Japan's 11th Division couldn't sleep well that night.

It had received a war report from the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters: the Third Infantry Division that landed with it had been completely wiped out.

According to the expectations of the dispatched army headquarters, the national army will launch an attack on the 11th Division next.

The commander of the Shanbaozong martial arts division was ordered to prepare for defense, and the dispatched army headquarters was transferring the Chongteng detachment and the ninth division.

But this takes time!

The 11th Division has been conducting crazy attacks in Liuhe, Luodian, Zhitang and Zhitang areas these days.

However, the national army's defense was also very resolute, and the battle between the two sides was inextricable.

Often positions captured by the Japanese army during the day would be taken back by the Chinese army at night.

Although the casualties of the Chinese army were much greater than those of the Japanese army, it seemed that the Chinese army could not defeat them all.

There are always new recruits coming in, but for the 11th Division, every time one Japanese soldier is injured, there is one less Japanese soldier.

However, it is not so easy to replenish their troops.

Now that we heard that the 3rd Infantry Division was finished, the national army that had annihilated the 3rd Infantry Division might attack it.

The commander of Shanbao Chongwu Division suddenly became nervous and ordered all the brigades of the 11th Division to inspect the defenses immediately.

Switch from offense to defense immediately!

It thought in its heart that it would defend well first, withstand the first wave of the national army's attack, and wait until the reinforcements of the Chongteng Detachment and the Ninth Division arrived before continuing the attack.

The division commander's intention was conveyed immediately.

During the day, Captain Ohno Tsubasa received an order to storm Luodian, preparing to open a way for the infantry Kanichiro Ueno's brigade to survive from here.

Despite the cooperation of the Shinji Abe Artillery Regiment, the national army was still the same as the previous two days.

The plan to withstand the attack of Ohno Tsubasa's brigade with huge casualties, open a gap, and open a way for Kanichiro Ueno's brigade to survive failed.

Later, after receiving the news that the Ueno Brigade had collapsed, the Ono Tsubasa's attack also stopped.

In the evening, Captain Ohno Tsubasa suddenly received the news that the defenses should be immediately strengthened to prepare for the national army's counterattack. He couldn't believe that this was an order from the division commander.

The voice on the phone was Captain Sakurai Kaede of the 12th Infantry Regiment. Captain Sakurai Kaede didn't need to explain the reason to Ohno Tsubasa.

The captain only needs to give orders, and Tsubasa Ohno only needs to execute them.

The subordinates have absolutely no need for brains.

The superiors issue orders and the subordinates just execute them.

"Hai!" Captain Ohno Tsubasa accepted the order, but his mind was still thinking about why.

It's a pity that at this level, it has no idea of ​​the changes in the situation on the entire battlefield.

No matter how hard I try, I can't think of a reason why I switched from offense to defense.

However, Captain Ohno Tsubasa did not slack off in his work. He conveyed the order seriously.

Order the entire brigade of Japanese soldiers to quickly reinforce the fortifications.

Ueto Taro's team went to the battlefield during the day, and only came down from the battlefield to have dinner.

The Japanese who originally thought they could have a good sleep and rest were suddenly ordered to reinforce the fortifications overnight.

This made Sergeant Tatsuya Hiraoka have some opinions: "The fortifications were built by engineers.

What do we, the infantry, need to reinforce?"

He is an ordinary soldier at the lowest level. He has some complaints in his heart, but he only dares to vent them to other ordinary soldiers.

Tegosaburo also didn't want to spend his sleeping time digging in the mud, so he echoed:

"If we work harder tomorrow, we can attack the front line of defense.

Stop attacking at this time and start defending. Why?

More than ten days of hard work have been in vain!"

Noze Taiyang shoveled a shovel of soil on the edge of the trench, and then said confidently: "The national army must have accepted our conditions.

They can't fight anymore and are ready to surrender!"

This was good news, and more Japs immediately came over: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. After the imperial army landed here, although the national army could still defend, they suffered heavy casualties.

It was futile to hold on any longer, so they surrendered.

We will also return home in triumph."

After hearing its analysis, Captain Ueto Taro couldn't even say the words he wanted to reprimand.

He smiled and said: "Seize the time to strengthen the fortifications!"

"Hai!" The Japs quickly dispersed and moved faster.

All the Japanese soldiers know that if the national army surrenders, there will be astronomical compensation.

With this money, their lives will take a leap forward.

The compensation from the last Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 made Japan's industrial production make a qualitative leap. What about this time?

These devils have unlimited imagination in their hearts. They wonder if this time the empire can become the most powerful country in the world?

The infantrymen and engineers of the 11th Infantry Division were busy for most of the night, reinforcing all the defenses that had been built.

Then the rest began.

Luo Zhuoying didn't have a good rest that night, so he reported Wei Mingyang's request.

Chen Cheng didn't have much objection to this request, but he still had to ask the old man for instructions.

Chairman Chiang was very happy that Wei Mingyang took the initiative to request Yao Ziqing's Third Battalion to be transferred in.

If this regiment were to be entirely supplemented by soldiers from the security regiment, he would still be a little worried about the loyalty of the soldiers and officers.

Now that I heard that Wei Mingyang was re-employing all veterans from the second battalion of the 583rd Regiment, he now wanted to transfer the entire third battalion.

Now I felt even more reassured: all the officers of the 583rd Regiment, including platoon leader and above, were students of Huangpu Military Academy.

For such a team that is completely commanded by students from Huangpu Military Academy, it doesn't matter much even if the commander, Wei Mingyang, is not his student.

After thinking this way, the Chairman immediately agreed to transfer the second battalion of the 583rd Regiment to the newly established special regiment.

At the same time, the tank school was ordered to send a platoon of maintenance students to supplement the regiment.

This made this experimental regiment more effective, and Chairman Chiang spared no effort to support it.

"Ci Xiu! Although Wei Mingyang's regiment is directly commanded by the attendant's office, it still fights on the left wing's defense line.

All ammunition and fuel must be supplied with priority."

The chairman of the committee was afraid that Chen Cheng would be dissatisfied if this mixed special operations regiment was transferred to the attendant's room for direct command.

"Students understand! Good steel is used on the blade.

This Wei Mingyang was able to shoot down as many Japanese planes with one anti-aircraft gun.

Even if the entire left-wing army runs out of artillery shells, I will ensure that he has endless artillery shells." Chen Cheng quickly expressed his stance.

"That's exactly it! Judging from today's battle to encircle and suppress the 17th Japanese Brigade.

Not a single enemy plane in the entire army came to cause trouble, making the entire operation go very smoothly.

That’s great!” The Chairman talked happily.

"Without the support of aircraft and naval guns, the Japanese's combat effectiveness has dropped a lot.

I don’t know how this Wei Mingyang mastered his marksmanship and was able to shoot down so many enemy planes.
Chapter completed!
