The 114th Division is a special division of the Japanese army, and the so-called special division of the Japanese army is a division composed of reserve officers and soldiers of the permanent divisions and regiments, and the number of these divisions and regiments is the number of the permanent division plus 100, and the officers and men of the 114th Division are the reserve officers and men of the 14th division of the permanent division of the Japanese army.

Unlike the 21st Division, which is a three-wing division and regiment, the 114th Division is a two-brigade four-wing system, with three wings of engineers, artillery, and baggage under the division, as well as a cavalry brigade.

Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, attached great importance to this operation, and he wanted to prove his strength through this operation against the troops of the New Second Brigade.

Shigeharu Suematsu served as the commander of the 14th Division, but was later incorporated into the reserve, if there was no war between China and Japan, Shigeharu Suematsu would probably spend his life in Japan doing nothing, but because of the Sino-Japanese War, he was called up again to active duty and became the commander of the 114th Division.

For Shigeharu Suematsu, who had served as the commander of a permanent division, serving as the division commander of an ad hoc division was a question of his ability.

In this battle against the troops of the New Second Brigade, Shigeharu Suematsu regarded this operation as a battle to prove his strength, and he wanted to prove his ability through this operation.

After mixing with the Independent Mixed 3rd Brigade outside the town of Jisai, Shigeharu Suematsu directly took over the command, and he ordered the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division to launch a group attack on the town of Jisai under the leadership of Major General Brigade Commander Kozaburo Akiyama, the independent mixed 3rd Brigade was to detour from the flank under the leadership of Major General Brigade Commander Toichi Sasaki, and the 128th Brigade of the 114th Division was to serve as a reserve under the leadership of Major General Brigade Commander Obaof.

In Zhixi Town, Nanzhuang Village, the position of the first battalion and the first company was set up here.

Nanzhuang Village has a special affection for the troops of the New Second Brigade, whether it is the troops of the New Second Brigade or the troops of the Independent Regiment, their roots are here.

Both of these units were expanded from the Nanzhuang Village District Squad, but now there are not many personnel left in the New Second Brigade District Squad.

Nanzhuang Village is four kilometers away from Zhixi Town, and according to the plan drawn up by the General Staff Office, Nanzhuang Village should be abandoned.

The General Staff Office has already made arrangements in light of the situation of various departments, and the battalion-level troops will have a maximum defense range of 2,500 meters and a depth defense of 1,500 meters.

At this time, the village of Nanzhuang, where the first company was stationed, was four kilometers away from Zhixi Town, which was contrary to the strategy formulated by the General Staff Office.

However, the commander of the 1st Regiment, Sun Ziyuan, the deputy commander of the regiment, Wang Tieniu, and the chief of staff Xie Hui, considered the significance of Nanzhuang Village, so they still deployed Yan Jiaming's first company in Nanzhuang Village, and strengthened a Type 92 infantry gun and a Type 92 heavy machine gun of the first battalion machine gun company.

The 114th Division launched an attack on the town of Zhixi, they did not take the small village of Nanzhuang into account, and the plan of the attack was to first capture the town, and then use the town as a base to sweep the remnants of the nearby Chinese troops.

Therefore, the commander of the 127th Brigade Major General Brigade Akiyama Kozaburo directly led the 65th Wing and the 102nd Wing towards Zhixi Town, and they simply ignored the first company of Nanzhuang Village, but after the operation began, Akiyama Kozaburo did not dare to ignore Nanzhuang Village.

The 65th Wing carried out a group charge against Zhixi Town, but their group charge was hit by light and heavy fire from Nanzhuang Village, causing hundreds of casualties.

After the 3rd Brigade of the 65th Wing came to Nanzhuang Village, Captain Shaozuo directly joined the four infantry squadrons to fight.

Four infantry squadrons took four echelons, and they launched a fierce assault under the cover of two infantry guns and twelve heavy machine guns.

The number of the first company was only more than 170 people, which was only equivalent to an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, and after the first company strengthened an infantry gun and a heavy machine gun, the whole company only had two heavy machine guns, a 60mm mortar, a 70mm infantry gun, nine grenadiers, nine light machine guns, three Mauser sniper rifles, nine shell guns, and more than 100 Type 38 rifles.

The Japanese troops were superior in numbers and in armament, and the first company was clearly at a disadvantage as the two sides fought.

"Bang bang." The light machine guns were constantly firing, and the bullets were fired at the ghost soldiers, and the charging ghost soldiers were killed and wounded.

However, the light machine gun was immediately suppressed by the Japanese grenadiers, and the three Japanese grenadiers fired miniature grenades to hit the light machine gun.

"Transfer!" The squad leader immediately shouted loudly.

"Wait, run out of bullets in the magazine and ......go," the shooter replied immediately, but before he could finish his sentence, seven or eight heavy machine gun bullets came in along the firing hole.

The light machine gun shooter's body was smashed into a sieve, six bullet holes appeared in his chest, and blood instantly stained his military uniform.

The secondary shooter on the side immediately pushed the shooter's body aside, and he quickly shot out the remaining five bullets in the magazine.

The co-shooter then walked out with a light machine gun, and the ammunition man followed with the ammunition box.

As the two men left the fortifications, they couldn't help but glance at the fallen shooter, and their faces showed sad expressions.

With a "boom", a miniature grenade hit the fortifications again, and the deputy shooter and ammunition man lay on the ground and crawled forward.

The light machine gun was transferred, but the body of the shooter remained in the fortifications, and even the shooter's eyes were not closed.

In a row of trenches, more than a dozen soldiers fell in the trenches, their bodies lying on the ground in a mess, their blood had stained the soil inside the trenches red.

With a "boom", the Type 92 infantry guns began to fire, and a shell was fired by the Japanese artillery.

The shell landed in the trench, and a shooter who was moving away with a light machine gun with a crooked handle immediately pressed the light machine gun under him, but his body was hit by shrapnel.

The platoon commander Wen Zihan was holding a shell gun, his glasses had already been shattered, and when he saw that the shooter was killed, he stuck the shell gun in his waist.

After picking up the crooked light machine gun, Wen Zihan carefully inspected it, and after making sure that there was no damage, he immediately set it up on the trench.

"Bang bang." The crooked light machine gun fired, and seven or eight bullets were fired at the devil soldiers, and three of the ghost soldiers who charged were killed.

Probably because the casualties paid were too many, the devil soldiers of the first squadron of the third brigade of the 65th wing began to retreat, and the officers and soldiers on the position rarely had a respite.

But time was just a cigarette of time, and the devil soldiers of the second squadron began to appear in front of the position, which was the famous wave tactic of the Japanese army.

The four echelons repeatedly attacked the position, which would not give the officers and men any time to breathe, and would also cause tremendous psychological pressure on the officers and men.
