Chapter 341: Stalemate
"Your Excellency, the 146th and 148th Wings have successfully landed on the sandbar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoRight now, a bloody battle is being fought against the people of China. However, we have already gained the advantage and it will not be a problem to defeat the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama, commander of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, reported to Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura with an excited face.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura sending out the only two remaining elite infantry wings of the 56th Division, his subordinates were able to win, and he, the commander of the division, also had a light on his face!
"Yo Si! The warriors of the Great Day * Empire really performed very well in this battle. A smile also appeared on Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito's face.
Originally, he was also worried about whether this operation would be successful. But, at least for now, the situation is still very favorable for them.
"Your Excellency, Commander, as long as we recapture the sandbar and then blow up all the pontoon bridges of the Chinese people, then it will not be so easy for the Chinese to recapture the sandbar and fight to the east bank of the Wangbin River. This will take a lot of time, and perhaps the 2nd and 38th armies will have arrived by then. When the time comes, we will be able to fight a dignified decisive battle with the people of China. When the time comes, it will be very easy to defeat them. The commander of the Japanese-Thai forces, Lieutenant General Moriya Seiji, also had a smile on his face, and in their opinion, as long as tonight's plan could be successful, then their strategic purpose would be achieved. Even if it costs a lot, it's worth it.
The other generals of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army also nodded again and again.
"Tell Kanaoka-kun and Aihara-kun to let their troops, not be afraid of sacrifices, strengthen the intensity of the attack, and must eliminate the Shina people entrenched on the sandbar in the shortest possible time and win the victory!" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura commanded.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama, commander of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, nodded.
On the No. 5 sandbar in the Wangbin River, a tragic white-knuckle battle is underway. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Japanese Army were fighting frantically. The roar shook the sky, the bayonets were red, and the soldiers on both sides were already red-eyed.
"Die, Shina." A young Japanese soldier pulled out a bayonet that was so deeply affected by an equally young soldier of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. His eyes were full of hatred.
But then, before he could notice, a bayonet pierced his body from behind.
"Phew, the little day of the dog's * day, give Lao Tzu to die." A soldier of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army kicked the body of the Japanese soldier he killed and kicked his body open.
"Rest in peace, brother, I have avenged you." The soldier of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army looked at the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army lying on the ground and whispered. After saying that, he turned around and went back to fighting.
The Chinese and the Japanese themselves, from the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, have been enemies of the same sky. Both sides on the battlefield are trying their best to put the other to death. The same is true in white-knuckle combat on a sandbank.
The 1st Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army undoubtedly fought very hard. They fought against the two infantry wings of the Japanese army with one regiment, which was originally beyond their capabilities.
If it were in a defensive battle during the day, with its strong firepower, the 1st Infantry Regiment might be able to withstand the attack of the two Japanese infantry wings, and even be able to suppress them. However, in the white-knuckle battle at night, it is undoubtedly the shortness of oneself and the strength of the enemy. Under such circumstances, the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army naturally suffered a lot.
However, there is no way around it. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to win this battle cleanly and destroy the main force of the Japanese army, it must use the battlefield they have demarcated to kill the main force of the Japanese army. Only in this way can they fully complete their strategic plan and completely defeat the Japanese troops entrenched in the Wangbin River.
"Da Da Da!" A heavy machine gun was firing, and a dense stream of bullets was firing towards the Japanese. This is the infantry artillery position of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Although, in the white-knuckle battle at night, the infantry artillery did not exert much combat effectiveness. However, in the daytime battles, they played a large role. If the Japanese themselves occupied this artillery position, they could even use the infantry guns here to bombard the pontoon bridges over the river. Therefore, the troops of a company stationed here are desperately resisting to stop the Japanese himself.
The other Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also knew about the fighting here and did not come to interfere with them. This also allows the automatic firepower of the troops defending here to be brought into play.
"Rush! Kill the people of Hiroshina. "Countless days * themselves, chanting slogans, went on the offensive. However, under the intense fire, they suffered heavy casualties, and countless people fell in pools of blood. But even so, these days* himself is attacking one after another.
"We must take that position and destroy the Shina people entrenched there." A young captain of the Japanese army ordered with a black face.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain." Several squadron leaders had to bite the bullet and command the troops to attack. It's just that in the face of the powerful firepower of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they couldn't break through at all for a while.
At the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, Colonel Han Jianfang was anxiously pacing back and forth. If it weren't for the staff officers' obstruction, he would have rushed to the front-line position with a gun.
"What about reinforcements? When will our reinforcements arrive? Colonel Han Jianfang asked.
With the pontoon bridge already connected to Sandbar 5, it should be a few minutes away if reinforcements are sent. But so far, no reinforcements have arrived.
"Commander, reinforcements have just left. Previously, the division commander wanted to wait until the two infantry wings of the Japanese army had landed on the sandbar before sending reinforcements. In this way, the main force of the Japanese army can be prevented from slipping away. The staff officer reported.
"Alas, but in this case, then we will be left alone to withstand the attack of the Japanese army. After this battle, the 1st Infantry Regiment was probably broken. Colonel Han Jianfang was very speechless.
However, there is no way around it.
Soon, the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army rushed to the battlefield. The addition of an infantry regiment made the original crumbling defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army once again become stable. The two sides began to fight fiercely on the No. 5 sandbank. It's just that the situation has stalemate, and no one can do anything about it.
