The participation of the 215th Regiment in the battle means that this is not a matter for the 216th Regiment alone, but a matter for the entire 36th Division!
Li Zhipeng's 213th Regiment was temporarily transferred away, and the 212th Regiment was deployed in Xinjingbei. This is the greatest strength that Song Xilian can mobilize at present! Fang Ren believed that if the two regiments of the 106th Brigade were present, the division would probably "stud"...
On the north bank, gunfire was still very intensive. At this time, the Japanese army had gradually regained a foothold. After all, it was a standing division of the Japanese army. It was well-trained and had excellent combat effectiveness.
The moon hangs high like a bright mirror, emitting soft light, and the surrounding stars are blinking gently, as if to tell people that tomorrow will be a good day.
Zhang Tianhai and others, who were moving under the moonlight, were moving as fast as nimble rabbits. They felt quite like what Tao Yuanming wrote in his poem, "I wake up in the morning to sort out the filth, and return with the moonlight to hoe".
The grass under his feet rustled under his footsteps, but Zhang Tianhai's heart was not moved at all. His target at this time was the Japanese army position in Xiaoji. It can be said that this military operation brought him, Hu Jiaji, and Fang Ren Their heads are tied to their belts. As long as they take out a small group of Japanese artillery positions, they will win even if the North Bank is not captured.
Without artillery, the Japanese army wanted to easily capture the south bank of the Suzhou River simply by relying on aviation bombs? Go ahead and dream!
…
Small set.
The artillery regiment of the Thirteenth Division has a large number of people, but it is definitely a lot. There are more than a thousand people. After all, in addition to the gunners and deputy gunners, they are mostly logistics and transportation troops.
Shinoda Yao's short and stocky figure dragged out a long figure on the ground under the moonlight. Trucks and field artillery were neatly arranged in the open space around him. The artillerymen also fell asleep early, even the ones in charge The logistics and transportation squadron also went into sleep. Only the squadron sent by the 58th Wing was still on guard duty.
Under the dim moonlight, Shinoda Yao looked at the clock. It was already one o'clock in the morning. He seemed a little anxious. It would be dawn in four hours, and he didn't know if he could survive until then.
At this time, Shinoda Mizusaburo was equally anxious as Shinoda Yao. The counterattack from the opposite side was so violent that it was beyond his expectation. In less than an hour, his remaining elites had suffered more than 300 casualties. The first The line position was breached in less than fifteen minutes, catching him by surprise.
The urgency of the situation was something that Shinoda Yao never expected. He could only grit his teeth and give the order he least wanted to give: "Ono, call the division headquarters. The position on the north bank of the Suzhou River is in danger. Please call the division commander. You must send troops for reinforcements!”
At the headquarters of the Thirteenth Division, Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the staff officer on duty: "Division Commander, Your Excellency, Division Commander, Captain Shinoda of the 58th Regiment, urgent call!"
Ogisu Rihei opened his sleepy eyes, and after a while, he woke up: "Nani? Are you sure it's an urgent call from Captain Shinoda Mizusaburo of the 58th Regiment?"
"Hai, I'm sure you're right about your humble position. It's an urgent message from the captain of the 58th Regiment, requesting the division headquarters to send troops for reinforcements!" the staff officer on duty replied firmly.
"Call the Sendai Wing (the 104th Wing, currently responsible for defending the main field) immediately, and immediately send a brigade to quickly reinforce the Suzhou River front line!" Ogisu Ryubei knew very well the character of Shinoda Mizusaburo. If it hadn't been very critical, At this moment, this guy will never send a telegram asking for help. Therefore, the Takata United Team is in danger and is very likely to be "broken"!
"Hai!" the staff officer on duty responded.
Just when the staff officer on duty picked up the phone and was about to make a call, Ogisu Tatehe added: "Wait for the sack (wait). After notifying the Sendai Regiment, call to ask about the movements of the Artillery Regiment. Be sure to ensure that the Artillery Regiment The team won’t have any problems!”
"Hai!" the staff officer on duty responded.
Just when Ogizhou Libing was making a decision, Zhang Tianhai had already led the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 216th Regiment to Xiaoji...
"Zhang Yulin, why don't these little devils turn on the lights? Even the sentries turn on small flashlights? Could it be a trap?" Sun Hong, who was lying behind a small reverse slope, asked Zhang Tianhai next to him. (Note: Anti-slope is what everyone usually calls "anti-slope", and anti-slope is a written term.)
Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said softly: "I don't know the reason, but I have an intuition that this is the Japanese artillery position, and it is very likely that the defenses are empty!"
After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, Sun Hong picked up the telescope again and carefully observed the Japanese position.
"Hey, let's not talk about it. Look at that truck and the 75-caliber field artillery. But, is this little Japan so crazy? Only so many people are sent to defend such an important artillery position? Just a little more than one company, right?" Sun Hong's face was full of disbelief.
"Don't believe it yet. The Japanese Thirteenth Division has been fighting our Thirty-sixth Division since they landed in Jiangwan Town. Their reinforcements don't come so fast. It seems that Commander Xiong and his enemies are also in front of them. The Thirteenth Division, so there is no solution for the shortage of troops. I guess this little Japan didn't expect that we are so courageous and dare to attack their artillery regiment, hehe." Zhang Tianhai smiled, looking very much like one. It’s the same as the kids who won hundreds of thousands by buying welfare lottery tickets. . .
"According to your analysis, it's possible. It's just that the little Japs were too risky. They set up artillery positions so close with so few people defending. Hehe." As if he was infected by Zhang Tianhai, Sun Hong also Then he laughed twice.
"Okay, don't laugh like that. It's so fucking creepy. Let's go, you lead the Third Company around the outside to deal with the enemies on the outside. I'll lead the Second Company and rush in. Remember, we're here Our mission this time is to blow up their cannons. Even if we die, we must take down their field cannons! If we fail, we will be punished!" Zhang Tianhai's face showed a rare stern expression.
"Yes!" The three people including Sun Hong responded.
"Remember, after knocking out their artillery, we will withdraw. Don't be reluctant to fight. Then we will go back to support the brothers in the Second and Third Battalions and try to win over the enemy troops on the north bank!" Zhang Tianhai added.
"Yes!" The three of them responded again.
…
Under the night, light and heavy machine guns quietly stood up and pointed at the Japanese soldiers on the periphery. A fierce battle was about to begin!

PS: I have been busy these two days, so I didn’t have time to update. Subsequent updates and plots will unfold slowly. It is definitely because you have not experienced the new version of the ship...
