Chapter 1210: The Attack Continues
Shanghai, the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Usamitaka is studying the map with his head down.
As a good theater commander, you must not only think about the present, but also plan for the future.
At this time, Usamilong was already thinking about the security operation after the occupation of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and the experience of North China and Central China had already taught them that military occupation did not mean the end of the fighting.
Especially in North China, the Eighth Route Army was growing rapidly, which had seriously threatened the security of the Japanese theater.
It is a cruel and frustrating fact that, with the exception of Manchuria, which was occupied eight years ago, the vast military occupation areas in North, Central and South China have not only failed to bring economic benefits to the Empire, but have greatly consumed the Empire's military costs, and the Empire's finances have been on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, Usamitaka should take precautions.
He was not the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, so he could not control the vast occupied areas in North and Central China.
However, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces belong to the areas under the jurisdiction of the 13th Army, but they must be well managed and become the best public security model areas except for Manchuria.
I must admit that the vision of this little devil is quite far.
However, at this moment, Hinata Zhiming walked in with a blue face.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, something has happened." Hinata Zhiming shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The 54th Infantry Wing sent an urgent telegram, saying that they were shelled by a cluster of the Shina Army five minutes ago!" ”
"Nani?" The pencil in Usamitaka Usamita's hand fell to the ground and said in a deep voice, "Cluster shelling?!" ”
This is really too surprising that the Chinese troops besieging the 54th Infantry Wing actually have artillery clusters?
"Hello!" Hinata Shiaki paused again, and said with a dark face, "It is said that at least one artillery wing is owned!" ”
"Artillery wing?!" Usamitaka was taken aback more and more, and then roared again, "The Tenth Army of China does not have an artillery cluster at all, where is the artillery of a whole wing?" ”
Hinata Zhiming said: "Humble suspicion, it is likely to be the artillery unit of Yinjiang in the past!" ”
"Yinjiang artillery?" Usamitaka frowned and said, "However, the aviation scouts have been closely monitoring the road from Yinjiang to Xinchang, and they have never found any traces of artillery passing by!" ”
After a pause, Usamitaka continued: "Artillery is not infantry, infantry can maneuver from small roads, even without roads, but artillery can't do it, artillery must take roads!" Aviation scouts did not find even a single truck on the road, so how did the artillery in Yinjiang pass? ”
Hinata Zhiming said: "This, the humble position is not very clear. ”
After a pause, Hinata Zhiming said again: "However, according to humble estimates, the Chinese army should not be equipped with howitzers or mountain artillery, most of them are just mortars, but mortars can be mobile from mountain roads!" ”
"Even if that's the case, it can't be so fast!" Usamitaka said angrily, "From Yinjiang to Xinchang, there is a road of more than 100 miles, and the Yinjiang artillery carries dozens of kilograms of cannons, as well as heavy shells, and can travel 100 miles a day?" Such a marching intensity, are they made of iron? ”
Hinata Zhiming was silent, and he was also puzzled about this.
But soon, Hinata Zhiming said again: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it seems that now is not the time to think about this, the top priority is to immediately order, and the 15th Division will rush to help!" ”
After a pause, Hinata Shiaki said again: "I'm worried that Kameda United won't last long. ”
With the strength of one wing, the Kameda Wing shook the three main divisions of the National Army, which was already very difficult, but it was only because the National Army had no artillery, so it could barely support it.
But now that the Nationalist Army had artillery, the situation facing Kameda Wing had taken a turn for the worse.
Because only two days, thirty hours to be exact, had passed since Kameda was besieged, and they had to deal with the endless night raids of the Chinese army, so they did not have much time to build fortifications, so all they could rely on now was the simple fortifications that were built in a hurry.
With such improvised fortifications, it is clear that the intensive bombardment of artillery shells will not be stopped!
What's worse is that in order to entangle the Chinese army, the Kameda Wing divided into two routes! One wing is stationed in Xinchang County, while the other two are stationed in Teapot Pass in the west of the city! This weakens Kameda United's defenses even more!
Usamitaka didn't know this, and immediately shouted: "Order, the 15th Division rushes to the aid of Xinchang!" ”
"Hello!" Hinata nodded heavily and left in a hurry.
……
Ten miles northwest of Zhuniangling, Dongkeng Bay.
The temporary headquarters of the 15th Division Infantry Regiment was located here.
The 15th Division was formed in 1907 and later abolished, and was reorganized after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in July 1937, but the rebuilt 15th Division was transformed from a four-unit division into a three-unit garrison division, with one infantry regiment under its jurisdiction, and three infantry wings under its jurisdiction.
The commander of the 15th Infantry Regiment was named Akalu Li, who was in his fifties.
Unlike the large number of army commanders and division commanders in their thirties or even twenties in the national army, there are very few generals under the age of 50 in the Japanese army.
Akakari also did not enter the rank of generals until he was fifty years old.
Although he is no longer young, this old devil is a fanatical **** element.
Chilu Li firmly believes that the He human race is the best race in the world, and other ethnic groups, including the Chinese nation, are all inferior races.
Inferior peoples do not deserve to have a fertile continent, or even to live in this world.
Therefore, every time the 15th Infantry Regiment arrived, Chilu Li would carry out a brutal massacre!
For example, in Dongkeng Bay, where the headquarters of the 15th Infantry Regiment is located, more than 100 people in the whole village have all been poisoned!
Chiluli, the old devil, even asked the soldiers to hang the corpses of the whole village upside down to make a landscape, which shows how perverted this old devil's heart is.
This old devil not only does not regard the lives of the Chinese as his life, but he is not afraid of the lives of the Japanese, he does not even care about the life or death of his officers and soldiers.
The Japanese rarely attacked at night, but this was not the case with Akakari.
This old devil didn't care at all, and the darkness still kept attacking.
Therefore, Usamitaka's order was completely superfluous, and even without the command order, the 15th Infantry Regiment under the command of Akaka would never stop attacking.
Seeing that the offensive of the 51st Infantry Wing was once again disintegrated, Akakari was so angry that he slapped the commander of the 51st Infantry Wing, Ryoji Ikeda, with a bow left and right on the spot.
Ryoji Ikeda was slapped twice by Rii Akaka, and he was immediately furious.
