Captain Toshiichi Yamatoki already knew that the entire defense line had collapsed, and only his own team was still making the final insistence on the defense line.

The only infantry brigade is left in the entire 22nd Infantry Regiment.

From this point of view, this line of defense cannot be defended no matter what.

The more you stick to this defense line, the harder it will be.

Captain Toshiichi Yamatori thought about giving up this line of defense; but the corps leader disagreed, the brigade commander disagreed, and the division commander disagreed.

They had a common idea: to hold on for another night, the Chongteng Detachment was concentrating its efforts to encircle and suppress two outstanding divisions of the National Army.

When the national army of those two divisions is resolved, the Chongteng Detachment will regain this line of defense and will soon launch a counterattack against the national army.

This line of defense of Yamato Toshiro's first brigade will be the bridgehead for the 11th Infantry Division to launch a counterattack.

This plan is completely fine! This task is very arduous.

What else can Captain Toshiichi Yamatoshi say?

Stick to the defense line and wait!

There should be no problem with using one brigade to attack the two main divisions of the National Army.

After all, at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the Marine Corps had 5,000 troops, but they resisted the attack of the five main divisions of the National Army for ten days.

With this plan, a brigade had nearly 10,000 people, and there was no problem in attacking and annihilation of two main divisions.

What's more important is that the Chongteng Detachment has a total of 15,000 people, and it is much easier to attack the two main divisions of the National Army with this strength.

After annihilation of the two main divisions of the National Army, the second line of defense will be able to fully restore.

Then wait for the 9th Division to come up and attack in depth, making dumplings for the national army on the Shanghai battlefield

Whether it is Yamato Tsubasa or Matsui Ishien, they all believe that this plan is complete.

The Chongteng Detachment is now launching a fierce attack on the 87th and 36th Divisions.

The Chongteng Detachment now has more than 15,000 Japanese soldiers in the First Infantry Regiment, the Second Infantry Regiment, the First Infantry Regiment, the First Field Hospital, and the Second War Hospital.

Now is the time for them to exert their efforts.

Captain Shigefune Chiaki Detachment issued a death order against his two regiment captains: "Today, be sure to defeat the national army and restore the second line of defense."

"Hai" Suzuki stood attentively with Captain Yurong.

"Hayi!" Shi Fu Chongwen paused.

Although these Japanese men walked up the river overnight last night and were a little tired, their soldiers were very enthusiastic about seeking war.

What these Japanese heard every day was how smooth the battles in North China were and how brave the Marines were.

With these stories as a foundation, every Japanese believe that as long as they go to the battlefield, they can scare the national army away by showing off.

Captain Shigefune Chiaki thought so, and Captain Suzuki Natsuyuki thought so.

Since they all think so, they do the same after they go to the battlefield.

Since the national army is so unbearable, the two infantry regiments set off very casually.

For them, tasks that can be completed by just pushing forward are not too careful.

This also makes the entire team advance very quickly and the formation is very dense.

They are all infantrymen, and it doesn’t matter if the teams are dense.

The 36th and 87th Divisions were afraid that the Japanese would make dumplings, so the fortifications were being prepared.

At that time, the situation was not good outside the defense line of these two divisions.

After the Japanese in the defense line behind him were annihilated, the defense line was occupied by friendly forces.

After the worries were lifted, their mission also changed: wait on the spot! Prepare to continue the attack.

The current position of these two divisions is the two fronts on this battlefield.

Both teachers understand the principle that trees are beautiful in the forest and wind will destroy them.

The construction of fortifications never stopped for a moment.

They had to station on the spot, wait for the second line of defense of the Japanese to completely collapse, and the other main divisions followed up.

Only then can they continue to attack the 11th Division of the Japanese Infantry Division.

Captain Suzuki Usuo United looked at the fortifications of the National Army in front and immediately ordered: "Kuryama-kun! Prepare for artillery fire!"

"Hayi!" Lishan Taiyi Mountain Artillery Squadron Captain agreed.

The artillery was immediately ordered to prepare, and its squadron had only three seventy-five-mm mountain cannons.

There are also benefits to having a small gun: after receiving the command, it will be expanded quickly and fired quickly.

In the other direction, the Shifu Chong Wen United team also issued the same order.

On almost the same line, two Japanese mountain artillery squadrons opened fire at the same time.

"Boom! Boom!"

The shells exploded on the positions of the 87th and 36th Divisions.

Yamamoto's squad's devils were at the forefront of the entire infantry team.

They can clearly see the smoke and dust that exploded from the fortifications of the military in the distance.

Sergeant Watanabe Eimon said excitedly: "Takahashi-kun! Our shells are exploding!"

"Yes! I heard that the national army did not have cannons at all."

The National Army without cannons can only get cannons like this.

This scene made the entire Sato Itani team's devils very excited.

These Japanese men gathered together in groups of three or three to look at the explosions that sounded from time to time in the distance.

Watching the smoke rising from the fortifications of the National Army.

Captain Suzuki stood farther and looked at the defense line of the Kuomintang from the telescope.

Although there are three cannons on it that are constantly firing, the three cannons can only be considered a drop in the bucket when dealing with a division of the National Army.

Not enough! Not enough at all!

Captain Shi Fuchong Wenlian, the Second Infantry Regiment, also had the same idea at this time.

It ordered: "All the Type 92 infantry artillery and mortars in the entire wing were concentrated.

Bombing against the national army's defense."

With such action, the density of shell bombing finally increased a lot.

A Chinese military plane came over in the air, which really shocked the captain of Shi Fuchong Wenlian:

It was afraid that these aircraft would strafuse the artillery positions.

It turned out that it was overthinking.

The Kuomintang aircraft ignored them at all and just kept hovering in the air.

I don't know what they are here to do!

Gao Hongmin flew around the area in a reconnaissance plane.

The artillery observer on the plane also watched it in the air for several hours yesterday.

The targets of the attack are different now, but they still quickly gave a preliminary observation data.

The distance and direction were reported to the 16th Artillery Regiment.

The 16th Artillery Regiment immediately adjusted the shooting parameters and fired the first gun.

Under the calibration of observation parameters sent back by the aerial reconnaissance plane, the second shot was fired!

After a while, the third shot was fired according to the new parameters!

This operation is a process of coordination and familiarity.

As the observers in the air and artillery on the ground cooperate more often, the accuracy will get better and better.

Three shots are accurate!
Chapter completed!
