The garrison's strength suddenly surged, and the Japanese in this squadron were hit and bleeding. The captain who led the team saw that there was nothing they could do, so he wisely chose to retreat temporarily.
The main defensive positions of Xue 7th Brigade are at Zhoutou and Shengzhou, and there are two auxiliary positions in Jiangxincun and Linzihao between the two places. The Japanese army had already detected this, so the main offensive force was invested in Shengzhou from the beginning.
There are two directions: Zhou and Zhoutou.
After a squadron of Japs were repulsed, the pace of the Japanese attack suddenly slowed down in the direction of Shengzhou.
"First take down Mianchuan Island, completely wipe out the defenders of Mianchuan Island, and then attack the strongholds on the north bank of the fortress. We must capture them before dawn. With these strongholds as a basis, we will be able to continuously launch attacks on the strongholds on the south bank. By then,
The marines of the Yangtze River Fleet will cooperate with us to launch an attack from the upper reaches of the south bank..." The general strategy of the Japanese army was decided by Okamura Neji, and the executors Yamamuro Sotake and Yamada Joji strictly followed it
As planned by Gangcun, the 11th Division and the 112th Division invested heavily in troops from the beginning. However, at this time, most of their main forces were still floating on the river. Now on the Shengzhou River Beach, the Japanese army successfully landed
There were only two Japanese brigades. After they established the beachhead, they immediately organized a squadron to launch a tentative attack. Then, of course, they were sniped by Qian Tailian.
The Japanese army's previous shelling was too intense, and the Japanese commander was aware of this, so he thought that the defenders had been wiped out in the shelling.
Qian Tai Company did suffer heavy casualties in the artillery attack, but their fighting will was not broken. On the contrary, the sacrifice of their comrades made their fighting spirit even higher.
On the river beach, some reeds and bushes were still burning, and above their heads, there were flares one after another. The Japanese army was really not good at night fighting, so they could only use a large number of flares to embolden them. Qian Tai and the others
My heart, just like the reeds, is burning with clusters of flames.
The arrival of Bai Liusu and the others added enough fuel to these flames, and the fighting power of the soldiers suddenly exploded.
The Japanese army retreated like a tide. Bai Liusu climbed up to the edge of a huge crater, and then stood there to reconnoiter the enemy situation on the river beach. He saw densely packed Japanese troops gathering on the river beach, and there were even more successes on the river.
With a lot of fishing boats going back and forth, she realized that she could no longer contain the Japanese troops from landing.
What a pity. If we had an artillery regiment at this time, she thought like this, and immediately issued an order: "Brothers, from now on, we must save every bullet. The battle will be long, and we must survive.
Annihilating more Japs is our only purpose, starting from now on
"Start, without my order, no one is allowed to shoot casually." The correspondent quickly passed on the order. Soon, the sound of gunfire on the front line of Shengzhou became sparse, including Type 92 heavy machine guns and 38-type guns.
The sound began to become the protagonist, and occasionally, one or two grenade explosions sounded,
"Hotel, come down, it's too dangerous up there." Qian Tai said, climbed up and stood next to Bai Liusu,
"Thank you." Bai Liusu jumped down, then sat on the ground. Under the stunned gaze of a group of cadet soldiers, she began to wipe her two rifles with a piece of gauze. On her left and right, two female soldiers were her personal guards.
Then he was fiddling with several magazines, and one of them asked: "Brigade, there are only so many special ammunition left."
The special bullets were processed by Bai Liusu herself in her spare time, and were characterized by a cross engraved on the bullet. Bai Liusu was originally good at throwing knives, but after giving up knives and using guns, she began to continue her previous style, pursuing one-shot kills, and then , by chance, after hearing about the special effects of "SAM bullets" from a cadet from a cadet R&D institute, she became obsessed with making her own evil bullets.
This kind of bullet was rarely used by her because it was too evil, but now she had taken out all her stocks, obviously preparing for a fight to the death.
"That's enough, I won't waste a bullet." She said casually, stood up, picked up the gun with both hands and made a fancy move, inserted the gun into the holster, then took the boxes of bullets, glanced at everyone and said: "Brothers, do you want to listen to some music?"
"Okay." The surrounding students immediately shouted excitedly,
Qian Tai smiled stupidly and said: "Master, we are all your fans. Brothers, we are all blessed today."
Bai Liusu smiled slightly, glanced in the direction of the fortress, and then sang: "The sunset is red and the mountains are flying..."
The boat of Takada Sugio and his party had already docked. They waded down the water and soon found an entrance, and then disappeared into the vast night.
This is the closest place to Lin Zihao, but the students there were attracted by a group of Japanese soldiers rushing up from the left, so no one noticed their whereabouts.
Entering the dark environment, Takada took out the map from his pocket, and then looked carefully with a flashlight. While he was looking at the map, the Japanese soldiers he brought dispersed in all directions, and soon they were outside. A cordon was set up, "This is it." Takata focused his eyes on a place marked "3" about one kilometer southwest of Huangjiadun, and whispered to himself, and then he put away With a map and a flashlight, he whistled in a low voice and took the lead in the direction of Huangjiadun.
Ever since Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange massacred everyone in Tianjin, he has become a thorn in the side of the Japanese. The Japanese have planned countless assassinations against him, and even used the death chrysanthemum, but not once. Although it could succeed, one after another failed, so that the Japanese finally gave up hope. However, the cessation of the Japanese secret service did not shake the determination of some hawkish officers to assassinate Ouyang Yun.
Take Yamamuro Munetake, for example. Yamamuro Munetake was fortunate enough to learn the details of the Tianjin Campaign through internal information. After carefully studying the tactics of the Xuebing Army at the time, he concluded that the battle and the destruction of the 108th Division were ultimately due to the headquarters. The 108th Division was killed prematurely by the Wolf Fang of the Cadet Army. If the 108th Division is compared to a person, then the headquarters is its leader. The leader is gone. Although the body and limbs are still strong, they have lost their unified control. Command has become a piece of loose sand, and its collapse is naturally inevitable.
In private, when Shanshi discussed this matter with several friends, he said: "This tactic can be called beheading. Ouyang Yun is so tall."
As early as when he was ordered to attack the Madang Fortress, Shanshi mentioned to Gangcun that he would organize an elite team to behead Ouyang Yun and the headquarters of the Northbound Army, so that he could win the Battle of Madang at the minimum cost.
Gangcun did not accept his opinion. Gangcun's reason was that the defense of Madang Fortress was too tight. It was simply an impossible task to expect a small team to break into the siege and penetrate deep into the core of Madang Fortress.
Shanshi refused to give up, so, taking this opportunity, he finally organized a death squad, hoping to retaliate in the same way as others and successfully beheaded Ouyang Yun.
On the Shengzhou front line, Qian Tai volunteered to serve as a lookout. He watched dozens of helmets bouncing indistinctly up and down on the river beach 80 meters away. When he realized that a new round of the Japs' offensive had begun, he turned around and faced behind him. Shouted: "Eighty meters."
Mianchuan Island originally had a river embankment, and the fortifications of the 7th Xueqi Brigade were built based on the river embankment. However, after the continuous high-intensity shelling, more than half of the height of the river embankment has been cut away, and the fortifications on it have also been reduced. Everything was in shambles, and it seemed that it was no longer usable. The place where Bai Liusu and the others were currently stationed was located on the side of the embankment facing the river. Those huge craters happened to be the most ready-made fortifications.
"Wait a little longer." Bai Liusu responded loudly,
Suddenly, the correspondent Qianniu Maoyao not far away ran over and said: "Brigade, Brigadier Xu from the Eighth School Brigade requests to speak to you."
"Xu Feng." Bai Liusu frowned and took the call: "I am Bai Liusu."
"Brigadier Bai, I am Xu Feng. I came to switch defenses with you under the command of the master. Where are you now?"
"Change the defense. Commander He is not confused. Now the Japanese are launching a large-scale attack. If he changes the defense, isn't he afraid that this will cause a complete rout of the frontline troops? Brigadier Xu, how many people have you brought with you?"
Bai Liusu opened his mouth and scolded He Zhengjiang for having brain damage, which made Xu Feng feel very awkward. He lamented in his heart how domineering this little woman was. He didn't show it on his face, coughed twice and said: "Brigadier Bai, you have your own reasons for doing this." His intention is that as subordinates, we just carry out the order. Please tell me your location. I have arrived at the cotton ship with the 304th Regiment."
In order to gain speed, all the officers and soldiers of the 304th Regiment ran forward, covering a distance of more than three kilometers in twenty minutes. This speed was already a miracle.
When the strength of the fortress was already tense, Xu Feng actually brought a group of people. No matter how slow Bai Liusu was, she understood that they were actually doing it for her own safety. Her brows frowned even more tightly. She took it for granted. Understanding that this was Ouyang Yun's arrangement, not only was she not moved by it, but she was very disgusted. She thought for a while and said sharply: "Commander Xu, I reiterate that I cannot switch defenses with you now. If you are here to support, Please go to Zhoutou, my contact with Deputy Brigadier Liu has been cut off, and I am very worried that Zhoutou has been breached."
"What, Zhoutou was breached, when did it happen?"
Zhoutou and Shengzhou serve as the outer defense line of the North Shore Fortress. Any breakthrough at any point will cause the other area to be surrounded by the Japanese army, which will lead to the overall fall of the fortress's outer positions. Once the outer positions fall prematurely, the fortress will be destroyed. will directly face the Japanese attack. At that time, the backup plan arranged by Ouyang Yun may be useless.
When the battle enters a tug-of-war, unless a covering artillery bombardment is carried out, the artillery troops returning from Qianjiawan can only act as spectators.
The matter was so serious that Xu Feng did not dare to take it lightly and immediately reported it to He Zhengsheng. He Zhengsheng heard the news and contacted Liu Zheliang personally. After waiting for five minutes and receiving no response, he could only order Xu Feng to abandon the original plan. Plan to head to Zhoutou instead to ensure that Zhoutou is not lost.
The battle situation on Mianchuan Island suddenly became complicated.
