The vanguard of the main force of the Japanese Sato Regiment was fighting fiercely with the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment and the First Battalion. At this time, Colonel Katano Sadami also led the Japanese 11th Regiment and the remnants of the 21st Regiment from the Yihe battlefield. A gap was opened, and then about 2,200 Japanese troops broke out from the gap.
Rather than saying that it was a hole opened by the Japanese army, it is better to say that Huang Weigang asked Li Jinzhen's 112th Brigade to open a hole.
In the setting sun, looking at the more than 2,200 people in embarrassment in front of him, Katano Sadaichi's eyes were extremely heavy. In just one day and one night, the Sakamoto detachment, which claimed to be able to sweep the entire Linyi, had lost more than half. Even if There are still more than a thousand remnants of Sato's regiment in the direction of Tangtou Town, so what? That can't hide the fact that Sakamoto United's vitality is severely damaged.
Katano Sadami is the most trusted subordinate of Captain Sakamoto Brigade. In addition to risking his life in contact, Katano Sadami is more importantly a smart man.
From the fact that the brigade headquarters could not be contacted, to the fact that the division commander, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, was personally commanding, with Sadami Katano's IQ, could anyone still guess the reason?
In all likelihood, Jun Sakamoto, the detachment leader and brigade commander, would have been "broken". Otherwise, such an extremely ordinary siege battle would not be qualified for the division commander to take personal command.
Only when the brigade commander is gone will the Itagaki division commander personally take command, and this will be done by emergency lightning.
As the sunset gradually set, Katano Sadaji's heart suddenly cast a haze: It seems that the situation in this Linyi battle is getting worse. Will the arrogant fifth division of the "Steel Army" finally suffer defeat? ?
The thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army rumbled forward. It was not until they integrated the troops that they discovered that there were only eight of the more than twenty tanks left. The more than fifty 75mm-caliber field guns that had originally set out were now gone. There were only fifteen gates left. The day and night of melee caused the Japanese army to suffer too many losses...
But don't forget that of the more than two thousand people they have left now, more than a thousand of them were brought over by Katano Sadami from the station north of Yutou.
In other words, the main force of the 11th Regiment on the front line of Zhuge City now only has about a thousand people left, and it has lost more than two thousand people.
What if we add the losses suffered by other reinforcements? By now, not only did Katano Sadami know that the plan to go south to Linyi this time had failed, but what they had to do now was to recapture the bridgehead of Tangtou Town. It would be meaningless to be responsible for their southward operation this time!
This is not just a matter of whether the faces of their fifth division and Itagaki Seishiro are bright, but also the face of the entire Second Army. If this time it is really defeated so completely, the commander of the Second Army, Nishio, who came from the Kodō Sect, What does Lieutenant Commander Shou Zao think of them?
Although the Emperor's faction suffered a complete failure in the "226" military coup, the backbone members of the Emperor's faction like Yanagawa Heisuke and Nishio Hiszo are still there, and compared to the Tōtō faction, the Emperor's faction There are far more members among the grassroots troops of the Japanese army than members of the ruling faction.
The members of the ruling faction are almost composed of high-level officials, and to a certain extent, they have received strong support from the navy. As for the Kodo faction, after the failure of the "226" military coup, they were replaced by Emperor Hirohito, officials of the ruling faction, and Japanese The three forces of the Navy jointly kicked out the core senior leaders of the Japanese Army.
Even the army generals Sadao Araki, Jinzaburo Masaki, and Prime Minister Kawashima, who were the leaders of the Imperial Faction, were dismissed from active service. It can be said that Japan's "226" incident was a failed military coup.
The failure of this coup also meant that the largest faction in the Japanese Army, the Imperial Faction, finally fell to the bottom.
Don't forget, the famous Young Masters faction in the Japanese army is also one of the Imperial factions!
Precisely because although the Emperor's Way faction has lost its leader, it still has considerable power in the military, so the Japanese military officers we usually see on TV calling themselves the "Imperial Army" are actually members of the Emperor's Way faction. officer.
The origin of the name of the Imperial Way Sect is also very particular. It is because the Japanese army general Sadao Araki called the Japanese army the imperial army, and advocated clearing the emperor's side, eliminating the traitors around the emperor, and supporting the emperor's personal rule to transform Japan. This is the emperor's rule. Dao, so it is called the Imperial Dao Sect.
And Seishiro Itagaki, who is under the command of Nishio Hisō, the representative figure of the Imperial Faction at this time, happens to be the backbone of the ruling faction. If there is a chance to kick Seishiro Itagaki away, do you think Nishio Hisō will not kick him away? And then let the Fifth Division be replaced by an Emperor Daoist figure like Isotani Rensuke as the division leader?
From Itagaki Seishiro's point of view, this battle really had to be fought, and it was a bloody battle to recapture Yutou Town!
The 10th Division, with the last die-hard force of the Imperial Sect as its backbone, is already attacking the Teng County area. As long as the defense in the Teng County area is broken, it will soon reach Taierzhuang. Itagaki Seishiro will not let Iso. Gu Lianjie stole the show, but his side suffered a series of defeats!
The sun had slowly set, and the earth was getting darker. Sato Masaki, who had mobilized all his troops but suffered a bloody blow, finally gathered the remaining troops. He was unwilling to do so, but had to lead his troops to retreat.
If it were daytime, Sato Masaki would still dare to fight, but it is already dark, and this is China's territory. God knows where another reinforcement of the Chinese army may come out?
When the Japanese army is dispatched, ordinary people will try their best to tell the Chinese army where the Japs are dispatched. But when the Chinese army is dispatched, except for traitors, who will inform them?
What is the mass base? This is the mass base!
After Sato Masaki gathered the remaining troops, he discovered that of his more than 1,200 people, there were now only more than 700 people left. In other words, they had lost more than 500 troops in this battle.
There are more than five hundred people. If it were normal times, this would only be considered moderate, but now it is a big problem.
Sato Masaki's Japanese army suffered many casualties, but the casualties of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion also reached an astonishing more than 200 people!
There were more than 200 casualties and more than 500 Japanese troops were killed. It seemed like a victory. But don't forget that the Japanese army was the attacker, and they attacked from the rear. There were relatively few bunkers, and the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion also strengthened a machine gun company. , plus a small artillery battery and a mortar battery!
The casualties of more than two hundred people were mainly caused after the Japanese troops rushed to the position. After the Japanese troops rushed to the position, they immediately started bayoneting and used their most famous "pig attack tactic" in close combat!
The so-called pig attack tactic naturally comes from our contemptuous name for it, because its combat method is like a wild boar rushing towards the target desperately, hence the name.
In fact, the inventor of the pig attack tactic was Nogi Nogi Nogi, who was regarded as the "Military God" in the old Japanese army. He was also known as the "Banzai Charge" among the Japanese army. When he charged, he did not forget to shout "Dog King". Long live".
well, let's get back to business.
The Japanese army's close combat capabilities and the famous "pig attack tactics" are extremely strong. Zhang Tianhai believes that if all the Japanese troops attack and the bloody battle continues, his Zhiyi Regiment will have to wipe out at least two main infantry battalions. !
The melee charging ability displayed by the Japanese army during this attack was the most vivid experience Zhang Tianhai had experienced since he came to this era!
During the Shanghai battlefield, although the Japanese army's offensive capabilities were also very fierce, the 36th Division's main defense at that time was Jiangwan Town. After the Japanese army invaded, the troops of the 36th Division engaged in street fighting with them. , in the narrow alleys of Jiangwan Town, the Japanese army simply could not exert the essence of the "pig attack tactic"!
As we all know, the Japanese army's bayonet fighting ability was among the best among the armies of all countries during World War II. In addition, under the brainwashing of military (Harmony) nationalism, the Japanese army was not afraid of death at all in combat, so they used the pig attack tactic to their full potential. It can be described as vivid and vivid!
Oh, by the way, the more important point is that their opponents simply do not have as powerful firepower as the US military in the late World War II. If they did, using the pig attack tactic would only provide their opponents with a larger firepower target!
Therefore, every time Zhang Tianhai thought about what kind of fierce battle Li Chunfei's first battalion would have faced if he had not brought up the small artillery battery, mortar battery and the machine gun battery of the fourth battalion!
