On December 3, the Japanese army did not make any move. They were gathering troops.
Because the battle line was too long, the Japanese forces were clearly stretched. Otherwise, the 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 should be stopped, and the scattered troops should be gathered together again in Jintan, Danyang, Jurong, and Banqiao areas.
At the rear of the Japanese army, troops are also being mobilized to the front line, in addition to the original defensive forces, the Japanese Navy Special Forces and part of the 114th Division. Matsui Iwane deployed another mixed brigade to strengthen the defense forces in the rear to avoid incidents similar to the Dragon Boat Festival from happening 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, believing that the Japanese army was at the end of its war effort, and ordered all front-line units to guard strictly 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 strong.
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 is good news for Zhou Weiguo. If he rescues Dragon Boat Festival, he even feels that it is 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 against the norm and fully supported Zhou Weiguo's actions.
It's just that Zhou Weiguo wants someone, that's not the case. The officers who came to contact Zhou Weiguo said that all ministries are now short of personnel. Even your 87th Division is the same. Otherwise, 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. Two battalions, it’s not too much to call them one regiment, right?
So Zhou Weiguo really had no shame in asking for help anymore. But at this moment, Lao Shou rolled his eyes and had an idea. Yoshikawa's sword captured in Dragon Boat Festival is still in their hands.
Lao Shou heard from Zhou Weiguo that the general who slandered the Japanese, Master Wang, was almost going crazy with his slander.
So Lao Snoring 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."
When Zhou Weiguo heard this, he took the sword and went to see Master Wang.
Commander Wang is holding a combat meeting, because in front of the Fangshan position is the Japanese's 16th Division. Grandma's, he's under a lot of pressure. When Niutoushan's defense line cannot withstand it, Fangshan Base will be the forefront.
Of course, Commander Wang is not at Fangshan Base. He, Sun Yuanliang and others of the 88th Division are all in Nanjing. And this is exactly the reason why the soldiers who appeared in the defeat of Nanjing could not find the generals, and the generals could not find their own soldiers.
Because they were not together at all, when Commander Tang ran away, he just said an order to retreat across the board and abandon Nanjing. As a result, none of the Thirty-sixth Division on the Northern Front received 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. If you have an order, send a telegram.
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 Master Wang's residence. This 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 guard saw Zhou Weiguo approaching and motioned for him to stop and check. Although Zhou Weiguo and the others knew each other. But in this war-torn situation, everyone needs to check. What's more, Zhou Weiguo also carries a Japanese sword.
Zhou Weiguo handed the knife to the guard, as well as his own gun. It means that this time the sword is given 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 smiled in apology, and then followed Zhou Weiguo to see Master Wang. Commander Wang is much more serious than Sun Yuanliang, and is taking several staff officers from the division to look at the sand table.
This sand table was made by Mr. Wang himself. He looked at the sand table and felt that this battle had been fought. In terms of command, that's it, because this is a defensive tactic developed by hiring many foreign military consultants.
And this is why the chairman is unwilling to change defensive tactics. He spent money. Those military advisers don't give you 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 have experienced repeated defeats and battles.
So at this time, even if Mr. Wang saw the problem, there was nothing he could do. We can only take one step at a time, hoping that foreign things will be useful.
At this moment, Zhou Weiguo came in.
Master Wang was very happy. Zhou Weiguo and Sun Xinpu were two of his powerful generals. Moreover, in the battle in Baijia Town, he felt that Zhou Weiguo fought very 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!..."
Mr. Wang laughed loudly!
