Chapter 33: Night Attack (Part 3)
"Brother Zhu?" Zhou Weiguo was surprised when he heard this, and immediately beckoned: "Read." ”
The signal soldier immediately took the telegram and read: "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu said that they have killed the headquarters of the 16th Division and destroyed the entire command system of the 16th Division.
Now he has asked Commander-in-Chief Tang to unite all the defensive forces of our army in Wuxi and flank the Japanese army together! and get approved.
Ten minutes later, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu will lead his troops to launch a night sneak attack from the enemy's rear pretending to be Japanese troops, hoping that we will be able to attack on time to respond to their actions in half an hour.
Flank the 16th Division in front and rear! ”
It turned out that after Xu Wen received the approval of the garrison headquarters to call back, he learned that Zhou Weiguo's headquarters was still in Wuxi, and immediately sent a telegram directly to inform Zhou Weiguo.
Because Xu Wen knew that the generals who commanded the 41st Division would not necessarily tell the commanders of all the regiments and battalions below why they wanted to counterattack the Japanese army at this time.
If he doesn't inform Weiguo next week, it is estimated that he will also be kept in the dark.
Xu Wen did not dare to guarantee that all the commanders of the national army in the Wuxi area would conscientiously carry out the orders of Commander-in-Chief Tang, so it was safe to be safe.
is still reliable, as long as Zhou Weiguo knows the ins and outs of the matter, he will definitely take the lead in the counterattack with his troops.
When the time comes, with his leading effect, other national armies will follow suit!
Knowing that Xu Wen had actually killed the headquarters of the 16th Division, Zhou Weiguo was taken aback, snatched the telegram, read it in a hurry, and couldn't help but be excited and the other party said victoriously: "Victory, immediately send an order, and the whole battalion will gather to prepare for a counterattack!" ”
"Yes!" Fang Shengli was also excited and gladly accepted the order.
……
On Xu Wen's side, he and Chen Zhenglun had already assembled their troops and were ready to start the operation.
Now Xu Wen's small army, although the strength has not changed, but there is an additional half-track armored vehicle, although this thing cannot compare with the No. 4 tank in terms of firepower and defensive capabilities.
However, its overall performance is much better than that of the Humvee military vehicle, coupled with the explosion of advanced weapons such as Bazooka rocket launcher and MP38 submachine gun, which has improved their overall strength a lot.
Before leaving, Xu Wen decided to carry out a pre-war mobilization to boost morale and boost the morale of the army.
After all the more than 200 officers and soldiers were assembled, Xu Wen jumped onto one of his No. 4 tanks, stood on the roof of the tank, and glanced at all the officers and soldiers present with his eyes like a knife.
Then, in a voice that they could all hear, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, in less than a week since we came to the Jiangnan battlefield, we have successively killed two lieutenant generals and division commanders of the Japanese army, and a large number of junior officers!"
Miracles have been created, but tonight Lao Tzu will take you to create an even greater miracle.
That is a complete defeat and defeat the 16th Division on this dog day! Drive them into the Yangtze River and feed the fish! ”
"During the Three Kingdoms period, there were 100 cavalry robbers of the Cao camp in Ganning, and today we have 200 heroes in the independent battalion, attacking the little devils at night! The little devil who can definitely be killed is bleeding like a river, and the corpses are all over the field! Do you have faith? ”
"Yes!" Li Wu, Sun Fugui, Wu Yongqiang and others responded in unison with their throats.
"Excellent! Tanks open the way in front, armored vehicles, Humvee military vehicles followed! Let's go! When you see a devil, you don't need to talk, just kill me! Xu Wen waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!" Everyone quickly got into the car, and when they were almost ready, Xu Wen also jumped into the No. 4 tank behind him.
To the fighter who drove the car ordered: "Drive!" ”
"Yes!" The fighter responded, immediately maneuvered the No. 4 tank to start a U-turn, and then drove north.
Of the more than 200 officers and men, half of them were put into combat positions in tanks, armored vehicles, and Humvee military vehicles, and the rest were all in the carriages of the 10 Humvee military vehicles.
Five No. 4 tanks, one half-track armored vehicle, and ten Humvee military vehicles could barely carry all the more than 200 officers and men, including Xu Wen.
Of course, because of the lack of space, some fighters were forced to sit on the body and roof of the tank, and the Humvee military vehicle was also crowded, as long as there were people who could stand, all the soldiers were crowded.
This provides them with a short-range assault ride and greatly increases their mobility.
With the support of systematic search and positioning intelligence, Xu Wen accurately found the weak point of the Japanese army.
The two Japanese wings in Wuxi at that time belonged to the 30th Brigade of the 16th Division, and were the 33rd and 38th Infantry Wings.
Because the commander of the 30th Brigade, Sasaki Toichi, fell ill on the way from North China to Jiangnan by boat, and stayed on board to recuperate.
So these two wings were directly commanded by the division headquarters, after Nakajima and the others were killed by Xu Wen's raid.
The two infantry wings did not have a unified command, and the 38th Infantry Wing was in charge of the headquarters of the Gongwei Division at that time.
After the incident, the 38th Infantry Wing immediately reported the news of the attack on the division headquarters, and was ordered by the commander of the dispatch army, Matsui Ishone, to go to the defense on the spot to protect the bodies of Nakajima and others.
The 33rd Wing was ordered to continue to maintain vigilance in the Wuxi area and wait for reinforcements.
In other words, there is actually only one 33rd Wing that really confronts the Wuxi National Army.
Without the help of the system, it would be impossible for Xu Wen to know this information, and now Xu Wen is like a player who has opened the perspective of God, and he can completely fight according to the opponent's vital points!
Xu Wen's first target was the 33rd Wing, so he took Chen Zhenglun and other soldiers to the position of the 33rd Wing in a tank armored car.
When approaching the local position, Xu Wen ordered the redundant officers and soldiers to get out of the car, follow on foot, and continue to advance with tanks and armored vehicles.
He himself sat in a tank and commanded everyone, although the 33rd Wing was already vigilant, and sent a lot of sentries and scouts.
However, Xu Wen and the others were wearing Japanese military uniforms and had the dark night as a cover, and they moved quickly.
Therefore, it was not until Xu Wen led his troops to advance to the rear of their wing's position, less than a kilometer, that the devil sentry discovered the abnormality.
The warning gun was fired immediately, but it was too late, Xu Wen directly ordered the tank to shoot the warning devil sentry to death.
Then he ordered all tanks and armored vehicles, armed Humvees to charge forward at full speed, and the infantry followed at full speed, and rushed straight to the headquarters of the 33rd Wing.
The commander of the 33rd Wing was named Kengo Noda, and when this guy heard the gunshots and explosions, he immediately ran out of his headquarters and asked his subordinates around him, "What's the matter?" ”
A devil lieutenant stepped forward and said with a nervous expression: "Sir, it seems that there is an enemy sneak attack from the south!" ”
"Yaga! Immediately order the troops to go to intercept! Hurry up and drop! They must not be allowed to succeed in a sneak attack! Kengo Noda ordered in a deep voice with a dark face.
