What Zhang Tianhai and others never expected was that the Japanese army had not attacked until the early morning of the 29th. This made the 36th Division, who had already prepared for a fight to the death, a little confused: Wasn't it agreed to fight to the death? Where are you little devils?
However, the two-day truce also gave the Thirty-sixth Division a rare two-day rest. At least the 213th Regiment has been replenished and can come back to participate in the battle. Except for the 212th Regiment in Xinjingbei, the 36th Division is basically in The personnel replenishment has basically returned to the pre-war state, but the weapon replenishment is indeed not as good as before.
"It seems that this little devil is changing defenses. In the short time we came for them, at least one and a half regiments were wiped out. Coupled with the previous battle, it seems that the devils of the 13th Division are about to be withdrawn. I'm afraid the next Japs will be even more ferocious." Song Xilian's expression was full of worry, "Captain Hu, Deputy Commander Zhang, your 216th Regiment are on the front line of the battle, so be careful. "
That's right, after being promoted to military rank yesterday, Song Xilian issued another order to make Zhang Tianhai the deputy commander and first battalion commander of the 216th Regiment.
"Master, please rest assured, as long as our 216th Regiment is here, the Suzhou River frontline position will never be lost! If the people are there, the position will be there!" Hu Jiaji assured.
…
As Song Xilian and others speculated, the Japanese army was indeed waiting for a change of defense. Since being suddenly attacked by the Chinese army in the early morning of the 28th, the Japanese 13th Division has suffered heavy losses, with more than 3,500 people killed in one night, which is almost a full regiment.
In view of the fact that the enemy in front of them is relatively powerful, and General Matsui Iwane has indeed issued a death order: there is no room for loss in Oba Town. Therefore, Ogisu Rippei decided to shrink its troops and defend Ochiba Town. The Sendai Regiment will defend Oba Town. All the remaining troops of the Artillery Regiment will supplement the Sendai Regiment, while the Aizu Regiment will return to defend Shinjingbei and continue to attack the Chinese army. .
The Aizu United Army returned, but the level of attack it launched was unprecedentedly fierce, which made the situation of the 212th Regiment extremely sad. Take Sun Hong as an example, he was beaten in the face just after he became the battalion commander, and he almost died without honor. .
"Damn it, is this little devil crazy? Is he so desperate for his life?" Sun Hong grabbed his hat and cursed fiercely.
"Commander Sun, could it be that our division's raid the night before yesterday made the little devil angry?" A company commander next to him said hesitantly, because he knew that Battalion Commander Sun in front of him also participated in the main attack from that night. The 16th Regiment was transferred over, and it is said that it was still the artillery position that the current 216th Regiment, Deputy Zhang of the 216th Regiment, bombed together.
"It seems to me that there is no movement at all at the main position on the south bank of the Suzhou River on the 216th Regiment's side. It seems that the Japanese army was hurt this time. They can only shrink their troops over there, but we are fighting in full swing here. Yes, and the enemy in front of them is also the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. It seems that they are going to vent their anger on their comrades." Sun Hong took a breath and said, to be honest, he felt that this military achievement came at a bad time. If The military exploits came earlier, and he may now serve as the first battalion commander of the 216th Regiment, while Zhang Tianhai will be the deputy commander full-time.
This transfer is an enemy soldier who is risking his life to avenge his comrades. Who the hell can bear this? For the 216th Regiment, these two days have been sunny days. For their 212th Regiment, these two days have been sunny. But it was a bolt from the blue...
Compared with Zhang Tianhai's radical character and fearless death, Sun Hong is more calm. Sometimes this calmness is a good thing, but sometimes it is not as good as expected. For example, Sun Hong is having a hard time now. Maybe It's probably because I still lack command experience.
The division headquarters of the 13th Japanese Division.
Since the defeat in the battle early yesterday morning, Ogisu Rihei has adopted a defensive strategy against Oba Town, but he gave a death order to the Aizu United Army. He must regain ground here in the north of Shinjing. To this end, He also specifically applied to General Matsui Iwane to borrow an artillery squadron as an artillery force to support the Aizu Regiment.
As a backbone of the Kodo Sect, Matsui Iwane also valued Ogisu Rihei, an officer who was once a member of the Shouzhuang Sect, and without saying a word, he temporarily summoned an artillery squadron from other divisions to go over. (Note: At this time, the Japanese military headquarters was roughly divided into two factions: the Tongzhi faction and the Imperial faction. Among them, the Young Zhuang faction was also one of the components of the Imperial faction.)
"Aichi-kun, it is said that the reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. What a pity." Ogisu Tatehei let out a long sigh.
Aichi Nobu nodded and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is said that the Kyoto Division of the 16th Division is taking over our position. It is a unit that has just been transferred from Tianjin. The division commander is from Oita Prefecture. The island is facing my lieutenant general."
"I heard that the 16th Division defeated an army of the China Army as soon as they arrived in Tianjin. Think about it, my 13th Division has been fighting to the death with the 36th Division since landing, and it has not taken any advantage. . On the contrary, the Artillery Regiment and the Takata Regiment were brought in." It's no wonder that Ogisu Rihei was a little emotional. It's really that the same people have different fates... We are both division commanders, how can their lives be so good?
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you can't actually say that. The enemy we are facing is the most elite unit of the Central Army of China, and the 16th Division defeated only a miscellaneous army of the Northeastern Army of China. It is definitely not the same. I believe it. The commander of the Nakajima Division will also be able to taste the tenacity of this enemy." Aichi Shinichi said objectively, he and Ogisu Rihei have been fighting together since they landed in Shanghai, so why don't they know the opposite unit? Resilience?
"That's all, we have to withdraw and replenish anyway, and there is still one day left. We will detach a brigade from the Sendai Regiment to provide support. I can't swallow the anger of the Takata Regiment and the Artillery Regiment!" As he said that, Ogisu Tachi Bing clenched his fists.
"Hai!" Aichi Shinichi stood at attention and saluted.
In the next few hours, the 212th Regiment was once again subjected to a desperate charge by the Japanese army. Several times, the position was tight and almost missed. Fortunately, Commander Xiong Xinmin's command was good enough to prevent the loss, but in the end, it was somewhat unable to hold on. , directly telegraphed the brigade commander Li Zhipeng, requesting reinforcements.
After Li Zhipeng received the telegram, he immediately sent the 213th Regiment, which had been replenished, into the battle. Worried, he went to the 212th Regiment's position to check the situation. As soon as he arrived, he was shocked - the Japanese army was here This is the first time I have seen such a desperate breakthrough style regardless of casualties. They directly use artillery and tanks to open the way, and then the infantry swarm forward. It is very similar to the pig breakthrough tactic. In the past, the Japanese army fought desperately, but they did not know this style of play. They always looked for loopholes in batches. The breakthrough style of play not only causes less casualties, but is also really effective. And the current style of play is undoubtedly the simplest and crudest, but the casualties will never be small!
