Near the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, eight Type 89 tanks and six Type 97 tanks were lined up, and the tank crews of the Kuroki Squadron were replenishing ammunition and fuel for the tanks.

And in the tent of the division headquarters, the commander of the division was reading the casualty report of the 45th Wing.

After looking at the casualty figures of the 45th Wing, the division raised his hand and gave the 45th Wing a resounding slap in the face.

After receiving a hot slap, Kaneda Dazuo could only respond in a loud voice: "Haiyi! Hello! ”

Kaneda Dazuo bowed his head vigorously to the commander of the Gu Shouo Division, and did not dare to raise his head to make eye contact with the commander of the Gu Shoufu Division.

After looking at the 45th Wing Commander Kaneda Daisa, Gu Shoufu's division roared sharply: "Bage Yalu, how did you fight, an infantry wing of more than 3,000 people was actually beaten by the second-rate troops on the opposite side, you simply insulted the number of the entire Sixth Division, you are still not a soldier of the Kumamoto Division?"

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the 17 standing divisions formed by the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II, its predecessor was the Kumamoto Town Terrace set up in 1873, and the soldiers came from Kumamoto Prefecture and neighboring counties, and its soldiers had a strong will to fight, brave in battle, and were the benchmark of the Japanese army's bushido spirit.

From the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army began to slaughter all sides on Chinese soil.

In the First Sino-Japanese War, the 6th Division captured Weihaiwei and defeated the ground forces of the Beiyang Naval Division.

In the Russo-Japanese War, the 6th Division participated in the Battle of Shahe, and defeated the Russian army in the battle, burning, killing and looting in Northeast China.

In the Battle of Songhu, the Sixth Division landed in Hangzhou Bay and outflanked the millions of defenders who were fighting bloodily in Shanghai, and the situation in Songhu took a sharp turn for the worse.

And now, the Sixth Division took advantage of the victory to attack, all the way to the city of Nanjing, and the front of the troops pointed directly at the strategic support point of Zhonghua Gate, Yuhuatai.

It can be said that the Sixth Division commanded by Gu Shofu is the elite of the Japanese army's battle sequence, the elite of the elite, and in the eyes of the Chinese army, the Kumamoto Division, which is as famous as another elite Sendai Division, is definitely the division of tigers and wolves.

However, such a tiger and wolf division was actually defeated in the hands of the second-rate troops of the Chinese army opposite, which was a great shame for the commander of Gu Shoufu's division, who attached great importance to the honor of the troops.

Gu Shoufu's division must have clear rewards and punishments, and make necessary punishments to the commander of the 45th Wing to warn the whole division.

Glancing at Yamada Daisa, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division shouted in a sullen voice: "I don't want to listen to any opponent with new weapons, I only know that you have lost the battle, what should you do?"

Straightening his waist, the 45th Wing Captain Kaneda Dazuo said with a little trepidation: "Your Excellency the division commander, please give me another chance, I am willing to personally lead the team to take Yuhuatai." ”

Gu Shoufu's division snorted coldly: "It's you, let you rush again, I'm afraid that the number of the entire 45th Wing will be erased from the battle sequence of my sixth division!" Your 45th Wing is still resting for the time being, and the combat mission of attacking Yuhuatai will be carried out by Takeda Daisa, the commander of the 13th Wing! ”

Fortunately, the head of Gu Shoufu's division did not let himself commit suicide, and Jin Tian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Haiyi! Listen to the arrangement of His Excellency the head of the division! ”

After all, it was the time to employ people, and the commander of Gu Shoufu's division could not rashly kill the adjutant, which would damage the morale of the whole division.

What Gu Shoufu Division Commander has to do now is to unite the morale of the army and revive the morale of the 45th Wing.

The head of Gu Shoufu's division stared at Kaneda Dazuo and said: "Kaneda-kun, when it is time for you to go into battle to kill the enemy, I hope this situation will not occur, if there is a next time, you will commit suicide by cutting your abdomen, to thank the emperor!"

The patience of the commander of the Tani Shoufu division is limited, and if Kaneda Daisa makes this mistake again, then he will have to speak with a katana.

Kaneda Osa replied repeatedly: "Haiyi! Hello! ”

Glancing at the other adjutants in the tent, the commander of Gu Shoufu's division said: "Yesterday, the 45th Wing attacked seven times in a row, but they didn't take it down, it seems that the soldiers of Yuhuatai are by no means ordinary troops!" Its will to fight is on par with that of our Imperial Army! Captains, I don't know what you propose for the attack on Yuhuatai? ”

Takeda Daisa, the commander of the 13th Wing who was sitting on the side, stood up: "Kaneda Daisa's light on the enemy caused the Chinese army to take advantage, our department is willing to take the lead, only by being cautious in the battle, coupled with the help of Kuroki-kun's tank squadron, it is still certain to take Yuhuatai in one fell swoop."

Kuroki Shaosa, who was sitting opposite the commander of the 13th Wing, also got up and responded: "Takeda-kun is right, please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, as long as my tank squadron breaks through the Yuhuatai position of the opposite branch of the Shina Army, and Takeda-kun follows closely, this gateway to the Zhonghua Gate of Nanjing will be ours."

At present, the most effective tactic is the coordination of infantry and tank, although the tactical coordination between the 13th Wing and the Kuroki Squadron is not satisfactory, but it is more than enough to deal with the Chinese army, which does not have large anti-tank weapons.

The commander of Gu Shoufu's division wanted to wait for the heavy artillery wing to arrive on the battlefield before launching a general attack, but the adjutant under his command was in high spirits, so let them attack first!

No matter how bad it is, wait until the heavy artillery wing arrives, and then use 150mm shells to talk to the Chinese army, so that the Chinese army can understand what caliber is justice and range is truth.

The commander of the Gu Shoufu Division advised: "The Takeda Wing and the Kuroki Squadron rarely have the tactical cooperation of Butan, and I hope that the two of them can unite sincerely, cooperate with each other, and win Yuhuatai in one fell swoop."

Takeda Osa Masasei said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, our soldiers will definitely desperately cover Kuroki-kun's tank to attack the Shina Army in Yuhuatai, and will definitely not let the daredevils of the Shina Army hold bundles of grenades and get close to the Type 97 tank for half a step."

On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese tank units were often attacked by the Chinese army's cluster grenades, and the rigid core bullets fired by the Makqin heavy machine guns of some Chinese troops also posed a certain threat to the Type 89 light tanks, but they also had to shoot at close range to be effective.

And if the Japanese infantry strengthens the protection of tanks and prevents the Chinese army from attacking at close range, the role of tank units is still very large.

Weapons that can attack from a long distance, such as 37 mm anti-aircraft guns and machine guns imported from the Third Reich, are definitely the nemesis of the Reich tanks, and the Reich tank units with extremely poor armor protection are very afraid of this kind of German mass killing weapon.

However, after the First Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns were completely lost in the Songhu battlefield, and Takeda Osa believed that there was only a 0.01 percent probability that the Chinese army on the opposite side would use 37 mm anti-aircraft guns.

Even if this 0.01 percent probability unfortunately becomes a reality, the artillery of the empire can also strike accurately in time, and the four Type 92 infantry guns of the Takeda Wing are not vegetarians.

For taking the Yuhuatai position, Takeda Daisa has great confidence.

Kuroki Shaosa was also full of confidence: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, the tanks of my Kuroki squadron will do their best to cover Takeda-kun's infantry to break through the defense line of the Shina army." The heavy firepower of the Chinese army will definitely not be allowed to work. ”

Seeing that the two adjutants were so united, the head of Gu Shoufu's division smiled and said, "Two, whether Yuhuatai can be taken down depends on your ability and cooperation."

Straightening his waist, the two adjutants suddenly stood up: "Haiyi! Serve the Emperor! ”

Looking around at the adjutant of the tent again, Gu Shoufu looked solemn: "Everyone, now I announce the battle order, and launch an attack on time at 8:00:00 tomorrow!" Take down Yuhuatai! ”

All the adjutants stood solemnly, raised their hands, and shouted wildly: "For the empire!" Banzai! ”

In the camp of the Sixth Division, a frenzied atmosphere of war was fermenting.

Just wait for the dawn of the day, and the Yuhuatai position will usher in a contest of blood and iron.

Because this time the devils will send a standard tank squadron to participate in the attack.

And the units of the 262nd Brigade stationed in Yuhuatai are seriously lacking in anti-tank weapons, and they will have to rely on flesh and blood to hit the devil's tank.

Except, of course, for the 1st Reserve Regiment of Liang Shanhao, because the Japanese did not yet know that he actually had two 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and eight small Golia tanks preparing to entertain Kuroki Shaosa's tank squadron.

Tomorrow, Gu Shoufu's division will receive a big surprise.

What surprises?

Liang Shanhao fought the elite of the Sixth Division.

At that time, Kuroki Shosa and Takeda Daisa will pay the first tuition fee in front of the position of the 1st Preparatory Regiment.

In the same way, an inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood.

Tomorrow another part of the 262 Brigade will fall on the way to blow up the tanks.

The ancient city of Nanjing, with war clouds.
