Chapter 161: A Tough Opponent
The devil staff officers beside Yamaki were scolded by Yamamu, so they didn't dare to squeak anymore, and they all went up to the front position to convey Commander Yamamu's order.
The mountain wood devil found that the Chinese army was attacking fiercely, not at all like the previous fighting style of the Central Army German Division, these attacking Chinese troops were like playing with their lives, and the tactical movements were very skillful, and the coordination of infantry and artillery and supporting firepower was quite tacit, even more powerful than their own marines, what is going on?
At this time, the captain of the devil brigade on the side of the Gongda Yarn Factory called and asked for reinforcements, saying that the attacking Chinese army was fierce, and the outer positions of the Gongda Yarn Factory had been occupied by the enemy, and they had retreated to the factory to fight in the streets, with great casualties and urgent reinforcements!
At this moment, the mountain wood devil regretted that he did not withdraw the brigade of the Gongda Yarn Factory, and now he is unable to protect himself, and he has to send a telegram to the Sixth Division on the side of Luodian, asking them to immediately send troops for reinforcements, otherwise Zhabei will not be protected!
The devils who received the telegram did not dare to call the shots, during the day several of his devil brigades launched an attack on the Luodian position, and after the cost of killing and wounding many soldiers, they finally took one-third of the Luodian position, but the key point leading to Zhabei - Dachang Town still did not take it, the Chinese army seemed to be crazy, desperately looking for reinforcements from the Dachang side, often the front one regiment was all gone, and two regiments immediately followed to make up, and the battle was extremely fierce, completely beyond the imagination of the Nakajima devils.
In the evening, before the Nakajima devils could rest, they received bad news from the forward positions: the Chinese army launched a night attack and took back the Luodian positions that had been occupied during the day.
Nakajima understands that at night, when his division and regiment are not supported by powerful firepower such as air firepower and naval artillery firepower, he is not very sure if he wants to regain the Luodian position, and instead of doing something he is not sure of, it is better to wait until tomorrow daytime to launch an attack and snatch it back!
But at this moment, Yamaki in the direction of Zhabei sent several distress telegrams in a row, asking for reinforcements to be sent quickly, otherwise Zhabei would not be guaranteed, and Nakajima would not be able to be such a big master, so he immediately forwarded this telegram to Matsui, and Matsui immediately replied, asking Nakajima to immediately send a wing to reinforce Yamaki in Zhabei no matter what the cost! Make sure that the Zhabei area is in the hands of the Imperial Army!
After Nakajima received Matsui's order, he was very unconvinced, thinking that Matsui was blindly commanding, and sending a wing to reinforce Zhabei at night, it must pass through Dachang, which was full of Chinese troops, and he couldn't even break through during the day, let alone at night?
Nakajima scolded, and the chief of staff beside him came over and offered advice: "Your Excellency the division commander, Commander Matsui's order must be obeyed, the order of resistance is to go to the military court, and to reinforce Zhabei, you don't necessarily have to go through the big field, you can also go through it by water." ”
"Oh, Akita-kun, do you mean to have the fleet transport our infantry to land at the Huishan Pier?" The Nakajima devil immediately thought of Huishan Pier.
"Yes, it is from the Huishan Wharf, according to the information just received, there are not many Zhina troops guarding at Huishan Wharf, only one company of troops, we have a wing to go over, plus the fire support of naval artillery, it is simply a devastating posture, mainly landing at Huishan Wharf, then it can give Shanmu the confidence to continue to hold on, and when the time comes, a flank attack will definitely be able to defeat the Zhina Army!" This chief of staff of the devil division named Akita has a lot of ghost ideas, and he proposed to attack Han Fei and them who were storming the Jiangwan devil headquarters from the waterway, this trick is ruthless enough!
The Nakajima devils immediately contacted Hasegawa, the commander of the Third Fleet of the devils on the river, and Hasegawa said that it is estimated that it is not possible to transport a wing at night, and at most it can only transport one brigade, because the water level at Huishan Wharf is shallow, and large transport ships cannot be relied on, and the use of barges is easy to arouse the vigilance of the Chinese defenders on the wharf, which is time-consuming, and it is better to directly use gunboats and patrol boats to transport a brigade of soldiers to land directly on Huishan Wharf!
Nakajima thought that it was important to be able to go up, even if it was a squadron, as long as they could occupy the Huishan wharf, they could continue to transport troops ashore in the future, so it was decided!
Therefore, the devils of Nakajima immediately dispatched a group of military officers and officers from his division and asked them to bring a brigade of devils, all of them with light machine guns, "MP-28" submachine guns, sufficient ammunition and grenades, and radio stations for communication and liaison, and hurried to the wharf at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and took the ships of the Third Fleet to go up the river from the waterway and capture the Huishan wharf!
In order to get together this batch of weapons, the Nakajima devil can be regarded as turning over the entire division, before leaving, he also went to see him off in person, holding a bowl of sake, and said to the captain of the brigade: "Yamamoto-kun, the fate of Zhabei and Yamaki-kun will be handed over to you, I hope you will carry forward the bushido spirit of the Great Japanese Empire, seize the Huishan wharf successfully, and encircle and annihilate those Chinese armies, when the time comes, I will come here to meet you, please!" ”
After speaking, the Nakajima devil bowed, and the Yamamoto devil hurriedly drank the sake in the bowl, patted Nakajima's chest and said: "Please rest assured, the division commander, this time will definitely succeed, if it fails, Yamamoto will definitely disembowelment to thank His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Yamamoto's bull is a bit big, if the Huishan Wharf is an ordinary **** force, then he has the capital to brag about the bull, but now the guards on the side of the Huishan Wharf are Haizi and Liu Ruye who retreated from the successful ambush of the devil squadron on the way through Hongkou Park, Haizi and Liu Ruye's two platoons plus a battalion of the 343rd Regiment, although the number is less than this devil brigade, but the combat effectiveness is not bad, and most of Haizi's brothers are familiar with water, There are a few brothers with excellent water ability who can lurk underwater for several hours without surfacing as long as they have a hollow reed pipe, and the team of snipers under Haizi is there, Yamamoto devils want to take down Huishan Wharf from them, it is really a bit whimsical, and what is terrible is that the radio expert "fox" under Stationmaster Yu has intercepted most of the telegrams between the devils, and when Yamamoto Devil has not boarded the ship from the Yangtze River estuary wharf, Han Fei has already sent this situation to Haizi, Ask them to be prepared immediately!
