On December 3rd, the Japanese army did not make any move. They were gathering troops.
Because the battle line was too long, the Japanese forces were obviously stretched thin. Otherwise, Dragon Boat Festival would not have been able to succeed so easily. The headquarters of the Japanese 21st Brigade was transferred to the Womachuan position, and they would not be able to sneak into Huizhou like they were entering uninhabited territory.
Shanzhen blew up the Japanese chemical weapons depot.
The Japanese's rear defense line had huge loopholes, and Matsui Iwane had already noticed this.
So he ordered that on December 3, all military operations be stopped, the scattered troops were gathered together, and they were gathered again in Jintan, Danyang, Jurong, and Banqiao areas.
At the rear of the Japanese army, troops are also being mobilized to the front. In addition to the original defensive forces, the Japanese Navy Special Forces and part of the 114th Division, Matsui Iwane has also mobilized a mixed brigade to strengthen the defense forces in the rear and avoid
An incident similar to the Dragon Boat Festival happened again.
Therefore, on the 13th, except for the Japanese troops encircling and suppressing the Dragon Boat Festival, there were only small-scale gunfire on other battlefields.
If you are a wise commander, you should take advantage of the enemy's troop deployment and slack at this time to organize a counterattack to regain the lost ground.
However, Commander Tang was complacent and believed that the Japanese army was at the end of its war effort, so he ordered all frontline units to maintain strict guard and not to attack.
This order played into the Japanese army's ambitions, and our Commander Tang was like the Japanese army's caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Grandma's Japanese army was completely defeated, and the troops under his nose were only a few regiments in strength.
But he didn't eat any fat that was put to his lips, but gave the Japanese enough time to mobilize their troops.
Although Zhou Weiguo, who was on the front line, saw that the Japanese army was gathering troops and preparing to launch a new round of attack, he received an urgent order from Commander Tang to cross the river to rescue the Dragon Boat Festival.
This was nothing short of good news for Zhou Weiguo. If he could rescue Dragon Boat Festival, he even felt that it would be worth more than killing one or two Japanese regiments.
And I don’t know why, when the frontline vehicles were so tight, Commander Tang actually prepared fifty trucks for Zhou Weiguo in Nanjing, as well as weapons, equipment and ammunition, giving priority to the 522nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment for replenishment.
Of course, he would never have guessed that Commander Tang was scolded by the Chairman. That's why he went out of his way and fully supported Zhou Weiguo's actions.
It's just that Zhou Weiguo wants people, but that's not the case. The officer who came to contact Zhou Weiguo said that all the ministries are now short of personnel. Even your 87th Division is the same. Otherwise, you can go back to the 87th Division and ask.
Zhou Weiguo decided to forget it after thinking about it. When he left, Commander Wang gave him an extra battalion of troops, and that's how the 522nd Regiment came. With two battalions, it's not too much to call them one regiment, right?
So Zhou Weiguo really had no shame in asking for more people. But at this moment, Lao Shou suddenly had an idea. The sword of Yoshikawa captured during the Dragon Boat Festival was still in their hands.
Lao Shou heard from Zhou Weiguo that the general who had slandered the Japanese, Master Wang, was almost going crazy with his slander.
So Lao Luo gave the sword to Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo looked at the sword and said: "Duanwu risked his life to get it. I gave it away, which is not good."
Lao Snoring said: "What's good? Our regiment wants more of these swords. There are thousands of Japanese generals and we can't kill them all."
Zhou Weiguo heard the same thing and went to see Master Wang with his sword.
Commander Wang is holding a combat meeting, because in front of the Fangshan position is the Japanese 16th Division. Damn it, he is under a lot of pressure. If the Niutoushan defense line cannot withstand it, the Fangshan base will be the forefront.
Of course, Commander Wang was not at Fangshan Base. He, Sun Yuanliang and others of the 88th Division were all in Nanjing. And this was exactly what happened when Nanjing was defeated. The soldiers could not find their generals, and they would not be able to find their own soldiers.
s reason.
Because they were not together at all, when Commander Tang ran away, he ordered the entire front to retreat and abandon Nanjing. As a result, the Thirty-sixth Division on the northern front did not receive this order.
So this Donald Duck was really deceiving people and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
The same is true for these upper-level officers. None of them are with their own troops. They send telegrams when they have orders.
The telegram could only be sent to the regiment level, and the battalion and company units below could not receive the order at all, which led to the rout of Nanjing, and no one knew how many people died.
Of course, Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know about these historical events, otherwise he would have scolded his mother at this moment.
He took the Japanese sword to Commander Wang's residence, which is now the headquarters of the 87th Division.
Commander Wang's wife and children had already been sent away, and the courtyard was filled with soldiers and his guards.
At this time, the guards saw Zhou Weiguo approaching and motioned for him to stop checking. Although Zhou Weiguo and the others knew each other, in such a chaotic situation, everyone had to check. What's more, Zhou Weiguo also carried a Japanese sword.
Zhou Weiguo handed over the knife to the guard, as well as his own gun. It showed that this time he was giving the knife to the master.
The guard took out his sword and said, "This sword is really good. I heard that the handle of the little devil's sword is made of gold."
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "It's just gold-plated. Can I go see the Master now?"
"I can see you, I can see you, but I have to hold the knife for you. This is the rule."
The guard laughed apologetically, and then followed Zhou Weiguo to see Commander Wang. Commander Wang was much more serious than Sun Yuanliang, and was taking several staff officers from the division to look at the sand table.
This sand table was made by Commander Wang himself. Looking at the sand table, he felt that this battle was somewhat fought. In terms of command, it was just like that, because it was a defensive tactic developed by hiring many foreign military consultants.
.
And this is why the Generalissimo is unwilling to change his defensive tactics. He has spent money. Those military advisers do not help you with advice for free, they require money.
What's more, there is an old saying in China that foreign monks can chant sutras.
Indeed, those who recite this sutra are defeated and defeated again and again.
So at this time, even if Mr. Wang saw the problem, there was nothing he could do. He could only take one step at a time, hoping that the foreign things would be useful.
At this moment, Zhou Weiguo came in.
Commander Wang was very happy. Zhou Weiguo and Sun Xinpu were two strong men under his command. Moreover, in the battle at Baijia Town, he felt that Zhou Weiguo fought well.
"Weiguo, you are back? This time, you have contributed a lot. If it weren't for you, Baijia Town would have been lost, and the defenders of Changzhou City would have been made dumplings by the little devils."
"They are all cultivated by Master."
Zhou Weiguo surprisingly spoke flattering words.
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "You have matured and stabilized, and you are worthy of a big responsibility. By the way, you came back this time for that boy in the Dragon Boat Festival, right? I heard that he got into the belly of the devil and was chased around by the devil.
?Hahaha! He, this kid, also has today, hahaha!..."
