After Ushijima Sadao gave the order, the entire Japanese 56th Regiment was dispatched, and the Japanese 13th Division was also ready to move after being strengthened by the 6th Division, and seemed to be following closely.
But at this time, Zhang Tianhai, who was in the middle of the eye of the storm, did not feel the urgency of the crisis at all. After all, no matter where he was, the center of the eye of the storm was the quietest.
"Snapped!"
A crisp gunshot sounded, and a 7.65mm caliber bullet burst out of the barrel of a Browning pistol, hitting a Japanese soldier who was trying to rush towards him.
The Japanese soldier fell to the ground, and Zhang Tianhai ignored him and continued to rush forward, believing that the people behind him would give the damn Japanese soldier a blow.
However, judging from the battlefield situation in Chunhua Town, it is currently quite favorable to the national army. Led by the charge of nine tanks with dual machine guns, the Japanese army, which was already in an unstable state, suffered heavy casualties.
The Third Battalion of the 56th Regiment of the Japanese Army was originally in a state of unreplenishment after the war. Before the raid, there were only more than 800 troops left, and it was extremely lax before the war. No, it was so concentrated by the penetration regiment. As soon as this was done, more than half of the third battalion was lost immediately, and the leading troops of the fourth battalion even reached Nagano Makoto's headquarters!
At this time, the Chunhua Town position had been penetrated by the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment.
Zhang Tianhai stopped charging and looked around, then grabbed a soldier and said to him: "You, go to the back and pass the order of the commander of the regiment, and ask the brothers of the third and fourth battalions to quickly lead the people." Passing through the position must be fast!!"
"Yes! Captain!!" the soldier responded, and then ran back quickly.
Zhang Tianhai's words just now seemed to be spoken, but in fact they were basically shouted, because he knew that the Japanese army would not give them too much time, whether it was the reinforcements coming to reinforce Chunhua Town or The pursuers following from Nanjing City will never be slow!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai's troops must lead the people through the Japanese positions as quickly as possible, otherwise once the Japanese pursuers follow, the consequences will be disastrous!
The camera then turns to Zhonghe Bridge.
At this time, Takahashi Masatake, the captain of the 104th Regiment of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, who faithfully carried out the orders of his superiors, was standing at the bridge patiently waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements mentioned by the division commander. There was no way, this enemy force Too cruel...
How long did it take? He directly wiped out one of his vanguard groups, which proved that this enemy force was quite powerful. If they rushed in rashly, they would most likely be ambushed by this enemy group, which would lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Although Takahashi Masaru also wanted to make meritorious deeds, the reality was before him - his strength did not allow it...
Hearing the fierce gunfire coming from the other side of the mountain in the distance, Takahashi Masatake murmured to himself: "The warriors of the 18th Division are really the elite of the empire. They fought so fiercely with this enemy so quickly. Well, the Kurume Division is indeed a powerful division..."
I just don’t know if Nagano Makoto could hear Takahashi Masatake’s words. He would be so angry that he would vomit blood, then point at his nose and curse: “Who are you scolding? I’m already fucking dying.” He was beaten to death, and he’s still making fun of you!!”
Of course, Nagano Makoto will never hear Takahashi Masatake's words. His headquarters has been killed by the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion.
Outside the tent, the sound of killing was loud. Nagano Makoto was naked to the upper body, revealing his strong muscles. His head was wrapped with a plaster headband, and he was kneeling in front of a white cloth. There was a short knife on the white cloth, and the short knife was very sharp. Sharp and chilly.
"The humble duty of Nagano Makoto, his lax control of his command, and his failure to strengthen security tonight resulted in the loss of the Chunhua Town position that was captured only by the Imperial warriors with countless casualties. The humble duty of Makoto has no shame in facing His Majesty the Emperor, and he is willing to die to thank the Emperor for his cultivation." .Finally, I wish His Majesty the Emperor long-term military success and unification of East Asia!!" Nagano Makoto shouted to the sky, then picked up the sharp dagger and stabbed his abdomen hard.
The blood dyed the white cloth in front of Nagano Makoto red. Until his death, he never thought that after he came to the land of China, he would die by committing seppuku. If he was given another chance, he would still set foot on the land of China. piece of land?
Haha, the ending is hard to tell.
After suffering more than two hundred casualties, the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment finally took the Chunhua Town position.
It has to be said that the Japanese army's combat power is still very strong. In the case of a surprise attack plus the fire suppression of the organic artillery company, plus the penetration of tanks by the tank company, the penetration regiment still spent 200 yuan. A position that was won at a heavy cost to many people.
The gunpowder smoke has not dissipated in the air, and the smell of blood is still condensed all around. The burning bonfire is emitting waves of thick smoke, which is particularly conspicuous in this dark night.
Standing on this icy land, the cold wind blew gently on Zhang Tianhai's face, which suddenly made him feel clear. He said to the soldiers: "Quick, bring weapons and ammunition! Evacuate immediately! Hurry up! It's not yet. Those dead little devils, give them a stabbing blow right away, don’t let them live!”
Zhang Tianhai would not show mercy to these brutal Japanese soldiers - otherwise, after they were cured, he would pick up the gun again to fight the Chinese soldiers? Are you going to harm the Chinese people again? Don't think about it, saving them is God's business. As a Chinese soldier, what Zhang Tianhai has to do is to send them to see God!
Zhang Tianhai looked at the people's team not far away. These people were moving forward quickly under the leadership of Wei He's temporary battalion. He believed that the people would be able to pass him in less than five minutes.
Following closely behind the First Battalion and the civilian team was the Second Battalion led by Zhou Fangjie.
As a serious person from Huangpu and with some combat experience, Zhou Fangjie naturally would not leave the rear and run away. In fact, he left a company on the mountain road and asked them to stay behind to buy time for the large forces to break through. .
Zhou Fangjie's order to this company was to hold on here for half an hour before retreating.
Zhou Fangjie knew that half an hour was enough for the large force of their penetration regiment to run a certain distance. If this company was allowed to persist here for an hour, the Japanese pursuers would definitely catch up, and this company would He would become an abandoned pawn, which he didn't want to see.
The purpose of temporarily forming this penetration regiment with Commander Zhang was to take these people and soldiers out of Nanjing! The ultimate strategic purpose of the penetration regiment is also very simple, that is, to stay alive...
The word "living" seems very simple, but in fact, it is not so easy to do it, especially in this troubled world where people eat people!
Jurong, headquarters of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force.
Unlike the headquarters of the assault at the outpost, the headquarters of General Matsui Iwane was not close to the front line. After all, for senior commanders like them, being able to survive and command the troops to advance in an assault is the greatest help to the frontline troops. It doesn't mean that you have to be the best to lead the charge.
After all, it is the responsibility of the squadron leader, group leader, or even wing leader to take the lead in the charge. The commander's duty is to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away.
Matsui Iwane was no exception. No, even at this time, he was still staying up late to participate in the formulation of the battle plan. After more than three months of fighting in the Central China Assault War, it was time to come to an end.
After all, the frontline troops were advancing so fast that many supplies could not keep up. If they continued to advance westward, the supply lines would be broken.
As the supreme commander of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force, he must not be able to sleep at this critical moment when the strategic goal is to be achieved. He must ensure the overall victory of the frontline troops.
After all, this is also an excellent means for the Nationalist Government to make an emergency landing in Nanjing.
