Chapter 283 Attack of the Shibazaki Division(1/2)

The Thirty-sixth and Eighty-seventh Divisions in front of the Japanese did not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

They were still hiding in the trenches and shooting at the Japanese, but now their shooting was more accurate.

The gunfire became sparse, but the Japanese casualties increased.

This is because the national soldiers on the front line can accurately aim at the Japanese prostrate on the ground, aim slowly, and shoot slowly.

It feels exactly like shooting at a fixed target on a training ground. You don't have to worry about the enemy rushing into the trench at any time.

The psychological burden on the soldiers is much less, they don't have to shoot hastily, and the accuracy is of course improved.

At this time, Song Xilian had received the final combat order from the Military Commission: hold off the Japs and gain time for the other divisions to outflank the Japs.

The Eighty-seventh Division received the same order, to hold off the Japanese and buy time for each division to outflank them.

The four main divisions in one direction stretched out quickly like two arms.

The plan was to tightly embrace the two infantry regiments and two artillery squadrons sent by Shigeto's detachment.

When the ten elite infantry divisions of the national army launched together, Captain Suzuki Yomiyou, who was deeply trapped in the encirclement, discovered that the national army had just stopped artillery bombardment.

The infantry was immediately sent out to charge.

At first, Captain Suzuki Yuren did not notice that the national army's charge was all-round.

Half an hour later, it realized this: the national army had actually cut off the communication between its regiment and the Yang family residence.

Captain Shi Fu Chongwen of the Second Infantry Regiment also discovered this: they were surrounded.

The two infantry regiments suffered heavy casualties in the artillery bombardment. Before they could take a breath, they were about to start a life-and-death struggle again.

The Takahashi Thirteenth Battalion was originally the rearmost reserve unit of the First Infantry Regiment, but now they were also attacked by the national army.

This time the national army attacked without hesitation, and groups of soldiers rushed towards them without fear of death.

Nobita Kobayashi's squadron worked hard to gather its troops, and the squadron was still fully loaded when it landed ashore in the morning.

At this time, we really faced the national army. There were 184 Japanese soldiers in the entire squadron, and only less than 80 Japanese soldiers were left.

The eighty Japanese soldiers could have fought with the national army, but each of these Japanese soldiers had a dazed look in their eyes, as if they did not understand the order.

No matter what orders were given by Squadron Leader Xiaolin, they all stood motionless.

Captain Nakamura Yuma asked loudly again and again: "What? What did you say?"

Its ears had heard enough of the sound of artillery during the continuous bombardment just now, and now it could no longer hear other sounds.

This is the current situation of the entire squadron.

It's difficult for Nobita Kobayashi to lead the squadron. It's too difficult. The team can't hear it, which makes it difficult to lead.

It could only point at the Chinese army in the distance and gesture to the entire squadron of Japanese soldiers to establish a defensive line.

The entire regiment came here in a hurry, and the original plan was to attack.

There was no time or plan to dig fortifications, and now we had to defend ourselves.

Of course, there are no fortifications. Just crawling down in the wilderness, even if you have established a line of defense.

Such a line of defense gave the attacking national army a huge advantage.

The remaining Japs in Xiaolin's squadron didn't have much morale at all, and were suppressed by the momentum of the national army's charge.

Their defense line soon collapsed. It was no longer possible for them to escape in the direction of Yangjiazhai. They could only escape in the direction of the coalition headquarters.

The 51st Division had also come forward at this time and joined the attacking team.

Captain Shigeto Chiaki, who was still in the Yang family house, finally went to Shanbao Chongwu's headquarters in person.

It came to ask for help when it arrived.

He was immediately invited in, and the leader of Shanbao Chongwu Master was sitting cross-legged in the room.

There was sake in front of them, and the two geishas who had just given it to them today were performing for the division commander:

One dances to the accompaniment, and there are several Japanese officers around to watch.

His own regiment was almost wiped out, but they were still singing and dancing.

Seeing this scene, Shigeto Chiaki almost couldn't breathe.

When Chiaki Shigeto came in, the leader of the Shanbao Division smiled and asked him to sit down and watch together.

Chiaki Shigeto, who had no such intention at all, had to sit down first, and then told him about the difficulties encountered by the Shigeto detachment.

The leader of the Shanbao Chongwu Master sighed: "It's difficult for me too!"

After talking about the news he had just received, he heard that the defense lines that the 11th Infantry Division had worked so hard these days had all been occupied by the national army.

Upon hearing the news that the 22nd Infantry Regiment deployed on the defensive line was completely wiped out, Chiaki Shigeto said in his heart:

"What does this have to do with sending troops to rescue?"

As if he saw its thoughts clearly, the leader of Shanbao Chongwu Master said:

"Without the second line of defense, we only have this small piece of territory to hold on to.

The current strength of the entire 11th Infantry Division is not enough even for defense.

There are absolutely no spare troops to send out! Let the Chongteng detachment break out and come back!

After we came back, we stayed together and waited for the arrival of the 9th Infantry Division.

Then we will counterattack together."

"But! My two infantry regiments were all surrounded by the national army and were unable to break out!" Shigeto Chiaki said.

It begged Shanbao Chongwu to send troops to rescue the two infantry regiments of Chongteng detachment.

This time, the commander of Shanbao Chongwu Master was determined and he would not let go at all.

At his wits' end, what else can Captain Chiaki Shigeto do?

There are still quite a few of its subordinates here in the Yang family residence, and there are still three to four thousand Japanese.

But they are all auxiliary arms such as automobile corps, baggage corps, engineers, and hospitals, and they are simply unable to complete combat missions.

Although Captain Chiaki Shigeto is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, it is not in chaos yet.

I know that even if these auxiliary soldiers are sent to the battlefield, they will have no effect at all in such a battle.

Now it simply does not believe the nonsense that the national army will be defeated at the first touch and that the national army has no fighting capacity.

It's a pity that this realization comes too late, too late!

While it was working hard to obtain reinforcements for the two infantry regiments in Yangjiazhai, the two regiment captains were also working hard to save themselves.

Their only way now is to concentrate their forces to break out of the encirclement and break out towards the division headquarters in the direction of Yangjiazhai.

Around Yang's residence, the 11th Infantry Division also has an infantry brigade and two infantry brigades in Zunzhong, so its strength is sufficient.

As long as the Japs from the Chongteng detachment can break through to Yang's house, they can survive for the time being.

The Takahashi Thirteenth Battalion was originally at the rear of the First Infantry Regiment, but at this time it became the first echelon to break through.

Captain Takahashi hesitated for the first time when he received the order from Captain Suzuki to charge against the national army.

So far, the group has been fighting, and there are only about 300 Japanese soldiers left.

It is impossible for such a small number of people to hold the defense line, let alone send them out to counterattack?

This brigade has retreated back and forth from its initial defensive line position, and Japanese soldiers from one squadron to another died on the defensive line.

Are you still asking the Takahashi Brigade to counterattack?

This is simply impossible!

Captain Suzuki Yongyoun did not expect that the team would already compete to this extent.

Immediately, another battalion of Itobu was added to the reinforcements. There were more than 600 Japanese in Ito's battalion.

If the two brigades were combined, there would still be thousands of Japanese.

As soon as they got together, they immediately began to charge. This time Captain Takahashi's Thirteenth Battalion directly adopted the pig attack tactic.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers lined up and charged directly against the hail of bullets from the national army.

As Japanese soldiers continued to fall, the Japanese soldiers in the back row immediately came up as substitutes.

The momentum of such a charge was astonishing and frightening.

Faced with such an attack, Zhang Lingfu also took action.

He ordered to the entire regiment: "Fix bayonets!"

He knew in his heart that the Japanese were desperate, as long as they could defeat this wave of Japanese.

Today's battle should almost be over.

At this time, the Japanese were still two hundred meters away, shouting orders: "Machine gun! Give me the heavy machine gun!"

Beat me! Beat them all!"

He held a machine gun and fired. The Japs charged in groups and kept charging until everyone was dead.
To be continued...
