After a fierce battle all night, Zheng Dongguo's second division finally captured Jiuding Mountain.
On the contrary, no large-scale battle broke out on Zhang Tianhai's side. After the Japanese army launched a large-scale artillery bombardment to the west of Yixian County, it stopped. They did not immediately launch a full-scale counterattack as imagined.
"It's strange. Is this kid as boring as me?" Zhang Tianhai muttered to himself, looking depressed.
"I have the nerve to say it. I went and provoked the little devil, and then ran away. If the little devil didn't come to settle the score with you, then it's all settled." Guo Qiliang snorted and said with great disdain.
"You fart, you kid, don't you want to cause trouble for me? It's obvious that they don't dare to find me, okay? If they come, I don't know how many of them can go back." Zhang Tianhai was very dissatisfied and said with disdain said.
"How about you continue to lead the special agent company and continue to hug them?" Guo Qiliang said jokingly.
"Damn it, do you think I'm stupid?" Zhang Tianhai patted Guo Qiliang's hat with dissatisfaction, "If I provoke them again, will I come back?"
I saw Guo Qiliang chuckle and say: "Hey, who knows? If our leader Zhang Da is really so capable, it is not impossible to provoke him and get away unscathed."
"Oh, Lao Guo, you are really bad at learning. You are really old-fashioned. I really miss you when you first entered the Songhu battlefield." Zhang Tianhai sighed longly, as if he really missed you. .
…
Turning the camera to the Japanese army, Colonel Akashiba Yaezo was really depressed at this time.
He thought about launching a full-scale counterattack, but the reality is cruel. If the counterattack fails, will there be more serious consequences? Whether they can still bear the consequences is a huge question mark.
"The China army in front of us is the most powerful China army we have ever encountered, so we must be more vigilant. Since they can carry out sneak attacks on our troops with such powerful individual firepower, it proves that this army may be more powerful than Our equipment needs to be better. But we must not let it go." Colonel Akashiba Yaezo said in a deep voice.
"Then Colonel, what are you going to do?" A Japanese Major next to him asked in a low voice.
"We must fight back after daybreak! With your troops as the vanguard, we must bring out the majesty of the imperial army!" Colonel Akashiba Yaezo said fiercely.
"Hai!" the Japanese Major responded in a deep voice.
…
While Colonel Akashiba Yaezo, the commander of the western position outside Yi County, was planning how to fight back, Isotani Rensuke's side was already as urgent as his butt was on fire.
The loss of Jiuding Mountain will expose the entire Yixian county to the artillery fire of the national army. How can this make Isotani Rensuke not anxious? If he was unlucky, a single cannonball would kill him, the commander of a majestic standing division.
There is an entire division here. If they are completely wiped out here, it means that Rensuke Isoya will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
Two units like the 108th Division and the 114th Division only have part of their troops here, but their 10th Division is different. This is their entire wealth. If they are gone, it will really be a disaster. No more fighting.
You must know that the Japanese army had won many battles on the battlefield of the invasion of China before. When their 10th Division entered the battle, they not only lost the battle, but also the entire army was annihilated. This was the first of its kind.
How could Isotani Rensuke accept this result? Therefore, he must find ways to make the troops trapped in Yixian break through and escape.
"Chief of Staff, I think we must need aircraft support. We must control Jiuding Mountain. We must not let the Chinese army's artillery units set up here and bombard us! In addition, you also Do you have any other better ideas?" Isotani Rensuke said with red eyes but very angrily. He could hardly control his anger.
"Reporting to you, the division commander, I have not been able to come up with a good way to control the situation. I can only follow what the division commander said and use aircraft power to suppress the Chinese troops on Jiuding Mountain in order to achieve an unstoppable outcome. The ultimate goal is to let the China Army set up artillery." Colonel Changdi Bujiagui, the chief of staff of the Tenth Division, said in a deep voice. The fight has already reached this level, who can guarantee that a very good method will be used to save the situation of the war? Since there is no way to save the situation of the war, we can only use the existing strength to preserve the position to the greatest extent.
"Is it really gone? Do we really have to sit back and wait for death like this?" Isotani Rensuke's tone was full of frustration, although General Juichi Terauchi called them specifically and ordered them to hold their position and wait for reinforcements. 's arrival
As a key general of the Japanese army, Isotani Rensuke is definitely qualified in terms of obeying orders.
But the problem is obeying orders. Will this be able to command the troops to hold on until reinforcements arrive? This is not necessarily the case.
Therefore, this is what worries the leader of the Isoya Renji division the most.
Seeing the frustration and reluctance on the face of the once high-spirited division commander, a wave of unbearability flashed across Colonel Tsubuugaki's face. Then he rolled his eyes and an idea came to his mind.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think our current situation is not that bad yet. We can use artillery firepower to blockade Jiuding Mountain so that the Chinese Army cannot successfully set up artillery positions on it. Another thing is... ..." Colonel Tsubujiagui hesitated, obviously he didn't know whether the subsequent plan was reliable or not.
Perhaps thinking of Colonel Tsutsumi Takaki's hesitation, Isotani Rensuke said directly without thinking: "Just say it straight away. There is no need to be secretive. I am the division commander and the leader of the current division." The commander-in-chief of the army. Of course I will make a judgment on whether it can be implemented. You can just make suggestions. If there is any responsibility due to this, I can bear it."
Seeing that the division commander had said so, Colonel Tebujiagui was too embarrassed to explain, so he said: "Maybe we should fight another battle on the western battlefield to inform these Chinese troops that we still have the opportunity to fight back. When they take action, they may mobilize troops from behind to support us, but our reinforcements will also take time! This battle on the western battlefield must be fought."
"Chief of Staff, why is it the western battlefield and not the main force of Tang Enbo's army on the eastern battlefield?" Isotani Rensuke said a little puzzled.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think we no longer have the strength to fight a frontal battle with the main force of the China Army. To the east of us is the Tang Enbo Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness and the largest organization in the fifth theater of the China Army, and they Fighting will only weaken our strength. And the western battlefield is obviously not the main force of the China Army." Colonel Takaaki Tsubuuga said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Why do you see it?" Isotani Rensuke narrowed his eyes and asked.
Colonel Tsubuuga thought for a while and said: "If the western battlefield was the main force of the Chinese Army, then after the shelling last night, they would definitely launch a general offensive. But they did not, which means that Yes, the Chinese troops on the western battlefield may be a force with relatively strong combat effectiveness, but their size will definitely not be strong."
Before Isotani Rensuke could answer, Colonel Tsubuta Takaki continued: "If this elite unit of the China Army can be annihilated, it will also be a great shock to the China Army!"
"What the chief of staff said is very reasonable, let's decide like this! Use all your strength to annihilate this elite small force of the China Army, and you will come up with the battle plan!" Isotani Rensuke said seriously.
