Suzuki Daisa's eyes swept coldly, and the Japanese army Nakasa, who looked extremely terrifying, walked towards the general headquarters of the Japanese army, and at this time, Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked gloomily at the battle diagram on the table, and his brows were furrowed more and more.

In just two days, they suffered very heavy casualties, which had never happened in the Chinese battlefield, and in the battle to defend Nanjing, even the Central Army suffered heavy losses from it, and retreated again and again, but it was planted in the hands of a ragtag army in this small market.

The most important thing is that they all used poison gas, paid such heavy casualties, and did not move forward an inch, this kind of humiliation is enough to make him lose face in the base camp of the Japanese army, not to mention that when he went on the expedition, he still shouted that it only took seven hours for him to capture Paishi and Yangxin, and it only took two days to capture Wuhan!

But two days later, they are still here to fight hard with this ragtag army, and now the troops are in urgent need of repair because of the division of troops to attack Yangxin, and the casualties of the soldiers are too large, and the most serious thing is that many soldiers have become afraid of this ragtag army, and even when they mention that they are going to attack the two positions in the front, they feel that this is the command deliberately letting them go up to die.

As he was distressed, Suzuki Osa walked in and saluted, "Division Commander"!

Ryosuke Yoshizumi turned his head and said, "What's the matter with me so late"?

Suzuki Osa opened his mouth and said, "Division commander, I heard that you are preparing to suspend the attack and prepare for repairs"?

Ryosuke Yoshizumi sighed and said, "Yes! The casualties of the troops are too heavy, and the soldiers have developed a war-weary and even war-fearing mood, so it is necessary to let the troops repair for two days before launching an attack, and the commander will personally call to explain."

Suzuki Osa frowned and said: "The division commander must not stop the offensive now, but also increase the offensive, although yesterday did not capture the position of the 60th Army, but also let the 60th Army suffer heavy casualties, now the enemy and us are extremely tired, we need to repair, they need more, now the artillery is fighting is the will to fight, we must not cease fire, we must increase the offensive, capture their positions in one go, and can also save the face of our Ninth Division in time"!

Yoshizumi Ryosuke shook his head and said, "Are you letting these soldiers who are already scared, afraid of the Sixty Army, launch a more fierce offensive?" Besides, didn't you say before you attacked yesterday that you would definitely come back with the head of the opposing commander, and now what?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Suzuki's face and said, "If they hadn't invested in the reserves, I would have captured the position!"

"But you didn't take it, and the thousands of soldiers who were killed suffered heavy casualties"! Ryosuke Yoshizumi said angrily.

Suzuki Osa saw that Yoshizumi Ryosuke seemed to be really reluctant to launch an offensive, and hurriedly spoke: "Division commander, yesterday's attack on our one-day attack, their casualties were also extremely heavy, I also sent spies to investigate, the Sixty Army has a total of two divisions of more than 18,000 people, after our attack yesterday, the casualties of the two regiments on the front are not much different from ours, even if they are replaced by reserves, how many people can there be?" Now they are also the most critical time, how long will we wait if we don't take advantage of this time to defeat them in one fell swoop"?

Yoshizumi Ryosuke fell into a lot of silence, and he didn't speak for a long time, just staring at the battle diagram on the table, as if hesitating about something.

Suzuki Osa hurriedly said: "Division commander, I will personally lead the team tomorrow, if I can't capture the position of the Chinese army this time, I am willing to apologize for the crime!"

"Are you crazy"? Yoshizumi Ryosuke said.

"Division commander, now that the time has come for our two armies to compete in the will to fight, I don't believe that the soldiers of the empire are not as tenacious as an army of peasants? And now is the time when they are exhausted, as long as we take the initiative with superior forces at this time, we will definitely be able to defeat them, and besides, they stripped the corpses of our soldiers naked and threw them in front of the position, can you bear to let these warriors die and be insulted by the lowly Chinese army"? Suzuki Daisa said excitedly.

"Good! I'll send you all the artillery that can be mobilized, and I'm giving you two brigades, and tomorrow I must see the positions of the Chinese Army in ruins, otherwise you know how to do it"! Ryosuke Yoshizumi decided.

"Commander Xie, if I can't capture the position of the Zhina Army tomorrow, I won't come back!"

After saying that, Suzuki Osa bowed to Yoshizumi Ryosuke before walking out, it was already four o'clock in the morning, but the base camp of the Ninth Division was in a posture of soldiers and horses, especially the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery and a cart of shells were assembling towards the predetermined position, and the two Japanese brigades responsible for the attack on the other side were burying pots and cooking.

At this moment, Suzuki Osa walked out with a katana and said: "This saber is handed down by the ancestors, and it has a history of 800 years now, if anyone can take the lead in capturing the position of the Shina Army tomorrow, this saber will be anyone's, on the other hand, if anyone behaves poorly or shows signs of fear of the enemy, I must have slashed him with this saber, do you hear clearly?"

"Hear me clearly"!

......

Zeng Zesheng's position, at this time, Zeng Zesheng's position plus reinforcements were more than 1,000 people, because of heavy casualties, Zeng Zesheng also had to shrink the position and defense, such as the previous first-line position was completely empty, and the main focus was on the second-line position and the third-line position, but the first-line position was still deeply buried with the little explosives left in the whole regiment, and put some hats and coats on the surface to make a false position to confuse the Japanese army.

One battalion of troops was also left on the second-line position, the remaining one company was left in the third-line position, and the remaining two companies were assigned to the concealed positions on both sides, and Zeng Zesheng deliberately added machine-gun fire and mortars to the companies on both sides.

The second trench of the second-line position dug a nearly two-meter-deep anti-artillery hole, and a water or grass curtain was hung in front of it.

On the third-line position, however, due to the lack of troops, one platoon was stationed in the middle section, and the remaining two companies were stationed on both sides.

Although Zeng Zesheng's regiment suffered extremely heavy casualties, there was not much loss of weapons and ammunition, after all, most of the casualties this time were poison gas, but most of the weapons were intact, especially the third-line positions and the concealed positions on both sides, and almost every squad was equipped with a Hatch Kaisi and Czech light machine gun. The battle defense guns are equipped with one on each wing.

Yang Hongyuan's regiment, the situation was relatively good, Yang Hongyuan deployed two battalions of troops in the forward defense line and one battalion of troops in the dense forest behind.

At this time, Lu Hai came to Wan Baobang's headquarters with a few wounded soldiers, Wan Baobang looked at Lu Hai who was covered in gunsmoke, and his face was also a little complicated, after several tragic battles, Lu Hai's battalion was only a dozen people left after removing the wounded soldiers, and even a platoon could not be formed.

Mu Yuanliang, Hai Zhizhi and Li Fan were sent down, especially Li Fan's bullet in the lower abdomen, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Wan Baobang patted Lu Hai on the shoulder and said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, death and injury are inevitable, as long as we live and persist in the struggle, the brothers will not die in vain, I also told the deputy commander about your situation, he said that you should now take a few of them to report the military situation behind the enemy line of the Japanese army and provide the coordinates of the Japanese artillery or the assembly place of the Japanese army"!

"Aren't we running out of shells"? Lu Hai frowned.

Wan Baobang nodded and said: "Our artillery shells are insufficient, but today's situation The deputy commander has reported to the theater command, and Chief Xue specially approved 2,000 heavy artillery shells for us, and I decided that these shells will not be used to provide fire support, but will all be used to hit the heavy firepower of the Japanese army, which will effectively reduce the frontal pressure!" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Hai nodded.

"You are also tired and go down and rest for a while, I don't think the Japanese army will launch a large-scale attack in the short term, after all, their casualties in the past two days are no less than ours." Wan Baobang said.

Lu Hai frowned and said: "Not necessarily, I think the Japanese army will definitely attack us, but we can't take it lightly at this time, even if it's for the sake of face, I think the Japanese army will never give us a chance to breathe"!

Wan Baobang thought for a while and then said: "What you said is reasonable, I will give the order in a while and let the troops be more vigilant"!

"That's not enough, you need to know the real movements of the enemy, so I ask to immediately lead the troops to go to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army!" Lu Hai said.

"But you haven't had a good rest for a few days, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it physically." Wan Baobang worried.

"But what if we don't go, the surrounding terrain is very complicated, even if we go to the Jedi this time, and now they are not familiar with the terrain when we are changing people, it doesn't work, let's just grit our teeth and persevere." Lu Hai said.

Wan Baobang frowned, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

"Brigade Commander Xie, let's go"! Lu Hai saluted.

"Wait a minute, I'll draw ten people from my spy platoon to replenish your troops, so it's safe, don't fire at the Japanese army unless you have to, and pay attention to protecting yourself."

"Yes"!

More than a dozen soldiers from the brigade headquarters were already waiting outside, and Lu Hai said: "Go get rations and ammunition, bring the radio, and set off in 10 minutes"!

Everyone didn't have time to ask Lu Hai what had happened, but Lu Hai's order had already come down, and everyone could only comply, and ten minutes later, more than 20 people set off again towards the dense forest, towards the dangerous enemy rear.

At this time, on the positions of the two regiments, the soldiers dug the fortifications and slept next to each other in the trenches, after all, they did not know if there was still fighting during the day, and they needed to rest and replenish their strength.

It was already 5:40 a.m., and Luján's military vehicle had finally arrived at the front headquarters after a night of bumps.

After a night of turbulence, there were bursts of sharp pain in Luhan's wounds, and even his face was a little pale and even had dense beads of sweat.

"Legion Commander, you don't recuperate well, why are you here?" Zhang Chong hurriedly walked over and saluted.

"With such heavy casualties among the front-line brothers, what wounds do I have to take care of as the commander of the whole army? How's it going now"? Luján struggled.

Zhang Chong frowned and said: "The situation is not very optimistic, since the two days of fighting with the Japanese army, Zeng Zesheng's regiment and Yang Hongyuan's regiment have suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the position has not lost an inch, and now I have sent a reserve, which should be able to barely stabilize, and the Japanese army on the side of the 183rd Division has also gathered troops and horses to prepare to attack the position of the 183rd Division."
