173. Recovering Hangzhou (5)

The brightly lit Jiebian Town Station is now nearly ten o'clock in the evening, but the whole station is still noisy, a large number of little devils and figures are searching back and forth, the two trains parked on the tracks, at this time, the personnel above are basically all down, but a large number of equipment and supplies have not yet come down.

The little devils came to fight, so they naturally brought enough weapons and ammunition, and many of them were carrying boxes of ammunition from the car, and even some heavy weapons, such as mortars, infantry guns, and small mountain guns.

A little devil Dazuo stood on the platform, and there were several little devil officers beside him, all of whom were carrying command knives, wearing white gloves, shiny long military boots, and straight military uniforms, full of style.

At about half past ten in the evening, the noisy little devils suddenly became more orderly, and the only remaining railroad track at the station was cleared, and there was no one on the tracks.

On the platform, a long row of little devils stood straight, loaded with guns, and the devil Dazuo also stood straight, with even a trace of respect on his face, and the middle and low-level officers on the side of the devil Dazuo stood even straighter.

The little devil seems to be waiting for some big guy.

After another ten minutes, a long whistle sounded in the distance, and another train drove into the small station, and when they saw this train, all the little devils stood straight and stopped all the work at hand.

It was a heavily guarded train, with little devils standing on the front of the train, machine guns erected, and the plaster flag on the train was unusually glaring, and the train slowly came to a standstill, close to the platform.

See the train doors are about to open. The highest-ranking devil Dazuo shouted loudly: "Stand upright, salute!! ”

A group of little devils stood up and saluted, with respectful looks on their faces. There must have been a little devil senior officer coming, and sure enough, the door of one of the trains opened, and a few devil officers came down first, and after these devils came down, they also stood straight on the platform.

A devil lieutenant general, full of style. shook off his lieutenant general's uniform, carried the command knife, and took figure-eight steps. walked down slowly, behind the devil lieutenant general, there were two devil major generals, and three devil Dazuo. and a group of high-ranking officers of the devils.

The highest-ranking devil on the platform. Seeing the arrival of his division commander, he immediately "snapped" again and stood up and saluted again.

However, the face of the Devil Lieutenant General Division was not good-looking, a little gloomy, and he did not look at the Devil Dazuo who was standing and saluting, but walked directly through the platform with his head held high and walked towards the outside of the small station.

This is Jiro Nishikawa, the commander of the 26th Division of the devil. Having just been promoted to lieutenant general, Nishikawa was a brigade commander of a division a few months ago. He participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, killed many Chinese, and because of his good achievements, he was promoted from major general to lieutenant general only two or three months ago, and became the commander of the newly formed 26th Division.

From the brigade commander to the division commander, Nishikawa Jiro was high-spirited and proud, and as soon as he received the task of reinforcing Hangzhou, Nishikawa was even overjoyed, thinking that this was his opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but he did not expect that he would be hit on the head before he reached Hangzhou.

On the train, before reaching the boundary station, Jiro Nishikawa received a telegram that the vanguard troops set off along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, a cavalry wing and an infantry wing, had all perished in the process of joint charge.

At the beginning, he was able to defeat at least three divisions of the Chinese army with one brigade, and after becoming the commander of the division, the number of troops in his hands reached more than 16,000, and he was confident that he could defeat at least five divisions of the Chinese army.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he fought with the Chinese army attacking Hangzhou, more than 2,000 people were killed, so Xichuan's face was very ugly, and he naturally thought in his heart how to teach this kind of Chinese army a lesson.

The temporary headquarters of the 26th Division was set up in Jiebian Town, not far from the small station, and after standing small, Jiro Nishikawa soon came to his temporary headquarters, which had just been arranged by the vanguard of the devils and could already be put into use.

As soon as he entered his headquarters, Jiro Nishikawa, who had been gloomy and had not spoken, finally shouted sharply: "Yaga! Damn the Chinese army, I must teach them a hard lesson. ”

Next to Jiro Nishikawa was the chief of staff of Major General Watanabe Kazutake, who also attached himself: "Your Excellency the division commander, the battle just now almost disgraced us, and all of our 2,000 warriors are broken, we must teach this Chinese army a lesson, and we must tell this Chinese army that our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible." ”

has fought with the Chinese army many times, and all this time, Nishikawa Jiro has not taken the Chinese army in his eyes, and the same is true of Watanabe Kazutake, the chief of staff of the devils, even if he lost two thousand soldiers at once, these two old devils still did not take Ye Feng's troops in their eyes.

However, a devil next to Nishikawa Jiro was a little cautious, and carefully reminded: "Your Excellency the division commander, Your Excellency the chief of staff, I heard that the Chinese army that fought with us is an independent division of China's third theater of operations, and the division is well-equipped, all American-style equipment, and there are many personnel, it may reach the scale of 20,000 people, should we be careful." ”

Hearing this, the chief of staff of the devil looked at the devil Dazuo contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "Noda-kun, you are too careful, in the Songhu battlefield, in the Nanjing battlefield, there are still many Chinese troops fighting with us, don't you know them?" What about American-style equipment, we also defeated the German mechanics of the Chinese army back then, what is there to be afraid of a mere American mechanic. ”

Jiro Nishikawa next to him also nodded approvingly, glanced at this devil Dazuo with dissatisfaction, and then walked to the large map not far away, and said slowly: "Order our mountain artillery wing, the first infantry wing, cooperate with each other, quickly crush the Chinese army that blocked us, and quickly break into the city of Hangzhou." ”

The devil had already received information that the independent division troops on the Shanghai-Hangzhou road were about the size of a regiment, and this time, Jiro Nishikawa ordered an infantry wing to be dispatched, plus a mountain artillery wing. I feel completely sure in my heart.

It was still the devil Dazuo, who still reminded carefully: "Your Excellency the division commander, there is an armored cluster of an independent division in the north of Hangzhou. Do we need to watch out for their sneak attacks? ”

"Yaga!" Nishikawa Jiro was strongly dissatisfied, slapped the devil Osa hard, taught the devil Osa a lesson, and then roared.

"Didn't you hear my order clearly, asking the Mountain Artillery Wing, the First Infantry Wing, to cooperate with each other. Quickly crush the Chinese army that is blocking us, is to quickly crush the understanding of no, wait for the damn independent division armored troops to rush over. Our troops have already begun to enter the city, understand? ”

"Hey!"

Seeing that Nishikawa almost roared, the head of the devil Dazuo was lowered in fear, and he looked very scared.

Jiro Nishikawa has received information. Outside the city of Hangzhou there was an armored unit of a separate division. He also shot down a number of planes from his own side this afternoon, but Jiro Nishikawa had his own plans.

The cavalry wing had sent a telegram before all the people died, and no armored clusters of the Chinese army had been found in this area, and now, the main forces of the follow-up 1st Infantry Wing had also arrived in that area, and no trace of the armored units had been found.

In this case, Nishikawa prepared to concentrate the 1st Infantry Wing. Mountain artillery wing, the two wings cooperate with each other. In one fell swoop, they were able to crush this Chinese blocking force in a short time, and then before this Chinese armored force heard the news, they broke through this convenient way and quickly broke into the city of Hangzhou.

As long as they enter Hangzhou City and join up with the troops of the Sixth Division, even if there are armored troops, it is impossible to display a large number of armored troops in Hangzhou.

Jiro Nishikawa's order was immediately transmitted through this temporary command to the 1st Infantry Wing, the Mountain Artillery Wing

On the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway, the position of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.

At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and almost two hours had passed since the last battle, and many soldiers began to find that in the distance in front of them, it seemed that the number of little devils had increased again.

In the darkness ahead, the number of little devils has indeed increased, and in front of the warrior position, within a range of two or three kilometers wide, there are all little devils.

The first wing of the little devil infantry has arrived, and the mountain artillery wing has also rushed over, and the first brigade of the first wing of the devil infantry has been wiped out in the battle two hours ago, but the main force of the first wing is still there, and there are still more than 2,000 people.

In addition, there is also the fire support of the mountain artillery wing, and the captain of the first infantry wing, Dazuo, is also full of confidence, and the two captains of the two wings are standing together at this time, and there are many middle and low-level officers at all levels of little devils next to them, and a group of little devil officers are looking at the position of the second infantry regiment in the darkness in the distance from a distance.

Behind these devils, there is also a huge artillery position, and a group of devil artillery is building their own artillery positions, which are the artillery and artillery of the Devil's Mountain Artillery Wing and the First Infantry Wing.

The first wing of the devil infantry has three infantry brigades, and now there are two brigades, these two brigades, each brigade has 3 infantry squadrons + 1 machine gun squadron + 1 brigade artillery (4 Type 41 mountain guns) squad, plus the brigade artillery squad of the previous infantry brigade, and the first infantry wing also has 12 Type 41 mountain guns.

AND THE LITTLE DEVIL'S MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY WING IS EQUIPPED WITH 24 Type 41 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS AND 12 Type 99 105MM FIELD GUNS, SO MANY CANNONS, PLUS THE STRENGTH OF TWO ENTIRE INFANTRY BRIGADES, NO WONDER NISHIKAWA JIRO HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO QUICKLY CRUSH THE BLOCKING POSITION OF THE SECOND INFANTRY REGIMENT.

There are 36 75-mm mountain guns, plus 12 105-mm field guns, and the old devil has self-confident capital, which can be quickly crushed when encountering any Chinese regiment.

The two commanders of the devil wing also seemed to be full of confidence, and all the artillery was used intensively, and a huge artillery position was deployed in front of the second regiment's blocking position, a total of 36 75-mm mountain guns and 12 105-mm field guns.

Due to the darkness of the light, the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment did not know that the little devils were deploying so many cannons, and if these cannons shelled the positions of the soldiers, the situation would be terrible.
