The Japanese soldiers under the night were full of energy, and everyone's face exuded a fierceness - because they wanted to make contributions, they wanted to prove that they were the elite of the 13th Division, and they wanted to break the enemy's front in one fell swoop, even if Even at night, they can also take on important tasks!
"Set off!!"
Following the order of Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe No., the commander-in-chief of the Japanese assault force, this elite Japanese force of more than 2,000 people began to set off.
Watanabe is a lieutenant general staff officer in the division headquarters of the 13th Division. Because of his rich experience and good planning foundation, coupled with his flexible thinking, he was appointed by the commander of the division Shizuichi Tanaka. With a heavy responsibility, he serves as the commander-in-chief of this assault force.
Although this raiding force only has more than 2,000 people, according to the scale of the Japanese army, it cannot even reach a regiment, only half a regiment with more than 200 people, but this is indeed Tanaka Shizuichi's hope. A highly anticipated move: Whether the current deadlock can be broken depends on the role of Watanabe and this assault force.
This assault force is a force composed of 500 people selected from each of the four existing infantry regiments of the Japanese army. At the same time, this force will receive the full support of the entire division during operations, including the cavalry regiment, The purpose of the artillery wing, aviation unit bombing and other support is to cut off the backup of the Changle Street troops. At the same time, after dawn, the commander of the division Shizuichi Tanaka will organize a massive storm!
According to Tanaka Shizuichi's prediction, this massive attack will complete the occupation of Changle Street within half a day!
This assault force was just an introduction. It was an introduction that enabled the Japanese 13th Division to break through the Changle Street defense line in one fell swoop. It was also a powerful breakthrough!
The Japanese army is marching very fast. Although they are fully armed, they still give people the feeling of being lightly armed, because this is a veritable elite Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is even comparable to that of the Sixth Division. Elite!
The stars twinkled in the night and the insects chirped and the frogs chirped. Although there had been several extremely brutal battles during the day, for the small animals, this was almost none of their business. What had the greatest impact on them was the weather here. .
In addition to the chirping of insects and the chirping of frogs, there is also the slightly cold breeze blowing on your face, which makes your pores instantly open and feels very comfortable.
This is the taste of summer.
"Okay, very good, I can have a good sleep." Zhang Tianhai lay on the lawn and slowly closed his eyes. This feeling of relaxation made him very comfortable, and he fell asleep after a while. He even snored lightly.
He fell asleep in seconds, and even had a dream. He dreamed that he had finally won the war of resistance, and finally had peace. But before he could start to enjoy this hard-won peace, something started to ring in his ears. The sound of gunfire.
"Where? The war started somewhere!" Zhang Tianhai suddenly opened his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether this was a dream or reality.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, it seems that the third battalion was attacked by the Japanese army, and the troops are now fighting with the Japanese army!" Xu Xun reported in a panic.
"Third Battalion?!" Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly, and then lost his voice: "Isn't the Third Battalion the one closest to Changle Street? Where is the Cavalry Battalion? Where is the Cavalry Battalion?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, according to the combat deployment arranged in the first half of the night, if I am not wrong, the cavalry battalion and the special agent company have already begun operations, and the fifth battalion close to the third battalion should be about to take action. According to the existing The situation, reinforcements will be sent up soon." Xu Xun forced himself to calm down and tried his best to report in an orderly manner.
"Okay, that's good." Zhang Tianhai shook his head to clear his mind.
"Commander-in-Chief, I believe that the top priority now is for you to return to the headquarters immediately. Otherwise, there will be no backbone in the army. You must personally command, so that we can have peace of mind." Xu Xun suggested.
"Okay, I'll go back later. You first send someone back to convey the order: Let Wang Liang's Sixth Battalion guard Changle Street for me. If there is anything wrong with Changle Street, I will only ask him! At the same time, order all the troops to fight well. Be prepared to reinforce Changle Street and the Third Battalion at any time!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice. He did not believe that Tanaka Jingyi dared to take such a big risk and try his best to attack them. In that case, it would only be harmful to the Japanese army, but not beneficial!
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Xu Xun responded.
…
The camera shifts to the third battalion’s position.
At this time, the commander of the third battalion had been changed to Cao Kejin. Cao Kejin was from Shandong and joined the army during the Xuzhou Battle. At that time, he directly entered the first regiment directly under the third theater because of his cultural background and his fearlessness in fighting. , so he served as platoon leader and deputy company commander.
Cao Kejin was one of the few survivors among the battalion commander Wang Ziqing at that time. The reason was that before the battle of Lanfeng, he was hospitalized due to injuries, and the injuries were serious, so he escaped.
As a result, after returning from injury, Cao Kejin served as the company commander and deputy commander of the third battalion. He subsequently made military exploits in several battles. This is the reason why he was able to serve as the commander of the third battalion of the First Guard Regiment.
Cao Kejin felt a little unlucky tonight. Although he knew that his troops were closest to the streets of Changle Town, and he was also prepared for the possibility of Japanese troops attacking, what he didn't expect was that the Japanese troops would be like this. The first time he looked down on them, he dispatched troops several times his own to launch a surprise attack on his own side!
Although it was difficult to see the outside situation clearly in the dark night, Cao Kejin could judge the number of enemies based on various details such as the gunshots coming from the opponent.
"The enemy must not be coming for our third battalion, but for the entire security force and Changle Street. No, I must notify the fourth battalion to be ready and come to reinforce our unit at any time!" Cao Kejin said at the time That's the reaction.
Therefore, under these guiding thoughts, Cao Kejin immediately ordered people to notify Commander Shen of the Fourth Battalion to be ready for reinforcements at any time!
The Fourth Battalion was originally one of the troops responsible for security, and it was also the unit closest to the Third Battalion. Notifying this unit for reinforcements was undoubtedly the best option!
However, different from the original target planned by Zhang Tianhai and others, the Japanese army did not directly attack Changle Street, but attacked the third battalion closest to the rear of Changle Street!
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Tianhai and others feel passive and troublesome, that is, their judgment is wrong!
There are many costs for wrong judgment, such as war initiative, etc. In short, it is very troublesome!
