Chapter Seventy-Nine: Overconfidence
The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army quickly marched to the position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info their troops have been completely enraged by the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. You must know that almost all the soldiers of the 33rd Division are from Sendai.
Among all the units of the Japanese army, the 2nd Division and the 6th Division are called the most capable of fighting. Among them, the 2nd Division was from Sendai and the 6th Division was from Kumamoto. Therefore, these two places are also known as the easiest places to send elite soldiers.
The 33rd Division, although far less elite than the 2nd Division. However, although he is a three-unit division. But they still consider themselves the most elite units of the Japanese army.
Now, they were provoked by a group of expeditionary troops, which naturally made them angry.
On the defensive line of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the 1st and 3rd regiments, as well as the artillery regiment, were already in full array. The 4th and 5th regiments continued to hide in the dense forest.
"Commander, the little devil is here. One of my reconnaissance companies exchanged fire with them and killed one or two hundred little devils. Now, the little devil is in a desperate pursuit. It is expected that in more than an hour, we will be at our position. Zhang Erniu, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, reported with a happy face.
"Hmm!" Qin Shou nodded.
The day * himself has finally come, and the preparations that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army should have made have been almost done. In three days, they had built a strong fortification, and they were waiting for the head to break and bleed when the sun himself came and hit him on his own initiative.
"Let the troops have an early lunch. If the day itself attacks, then we won't have time for lunch. ”
"Yes, Captain."
The officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield took out the dry food that had been prepared long ago and ate it with cold water.
Hard dry food, not very good. But the officers and soldiers were desperately swallowing. Fighting a war is a physical job. If you don't eat a little more, you will soon be unable to hold on.
While the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was slowly waiting, the 33rd Wing of the Japanese Army appeared in front of them.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, those Zhina people are ready. They seem to know that we're coming to attack them. Their line of defense is on our way to Myitkyina. If you want to get through, you have to break through their defenses. If you choose to take a detour, you will need to take away at least one or two hundred kilometers. "The chief of staff of the 33rd Division, Tetsujiro Tanaka, analyzed to Lieutenant General Sakurai Province.
"There is no need to think about detours. For us, there is only one option. That is to go on the offensive. Tear the men's defenses from the front, crush them, destroy them. Let them know how the heroic Sendai warriors fought. These rabbles are no match for us at all. "The third lieutenant general of Sakurai Province did not take the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in his eyes at all. He directly chose the most violent, but also the most direct and effective method.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander is very right. If the rout of the Chinese army makes it difficult for us, then how can the Great Japanese Empire conquer the whole world? Major General Yamamoto, commander of the infantry regiment, said on the side.
"Yo Xi, Yamamoto-kun is right. Our goal is to conquer the world. Let the whole world submit to the feet of His Majesty the Emperor. How can the cowardly Shina resist our attack? "The third lieutenant general of Sakurai Province is very arrogant.
"Get the artillery wing ready, and after half an hour, launch an attack, and tear apart the man's line with powerful artillery fire." Lieutenant General Sakurai Province 3rd Lieutenant General ordered. He is very confident in the firepower of his troops. Although, the power of 75-mm mountain artillery and field artillery is not strong, and it simply cannot be compared with the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Western powers. However, in the mountainous environment of Myanmar and the poor transportation facilities, this light artillery is undoubtedly the most suitable artillery. It was with these artillery pieces that they swept through Burma and easily defeated the British army and the expeditionary force.
"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander!" The commander of the 33rd Artillery Wing, Fu Jiazheng, led the order.
The 33rd artillery wing of the Japanese army with 30 75-mm field guns and mountain artillery was immediately deployed. The artillerymen began to build positions and at the same time transport shells up.
Originally, they had 36 cannons. But in the previous stage of the battle, six doors had already been lost.
The following 3 wings, each with 6 Type 92 infantry guns. These Type 92 infantry guns were all pulled to the front line, ready to join the artillery bombardment against the Japanese National Salvation Army.
The 3rd Lieutenant General of Sakurai Province was ready to crush the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army with powerful artillery fire. Therefore, all the artillery of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army had to be thrown into battle. Show their strength as much as possible.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please give your humble post a chance. When our powerful artillery shelled the positions of the Chinese people, allow the first wave of the offensive to be carried out by the 213th Wing. The shame that the Shina people have inflicted on us must be washed away with our own hands with the blood of the Shina people. Onkai pleaded.
"Alright, Wen Jing-kun. I promise you, I believe that your troops will be able to wash away the shame. Lieutenant General Sakurai nodded.
"Thank you for your trust. The lowly promise will defeat the people of China. Otherwise, he will commit suicide and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Onkai said immediately.
In his opinion, it was certain that his troops would defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. He is now bringing up seppuku just to further show his prowess.
Sure enough, after he said this, the third lieutenant general of Sakurai Province looked at him with a hint of appreciation. This made Wen Jing Qinguang Dazuo feel a little complacent.
However, soon Onkai will know what it means to be cocooned.
"Commander, the artillery of the day * himself is being prepared. It seems that they are planning to use artillery to teach us a hard lesson first. Sun Changwu smiled.
"Humph! These days* I am really underestimating people. Could it be that they don't have a long memory? Let the artillery regiments all be ready. As soon as the little devils fire, they will be suppressed by me. I'm going to let the little devil's artillery be ruined. Qin Shou snorted coldly.
"Yes, Captain." The herald immediately went to inform the artillery regiment.
"Commander, what about our artillery battalion? Do you want to fire? Sun Changwu is obviously a person who is not willing to be lonely.
Qin Shou shook his head: "The artillery battalions of the 1st and 3rd regiments, it's okay to be silent for the time being." We can't scare the Japanese in the first round of shelling, can we? When their infantry attacked, your artillery battalion opened fire again. ”
"Yes, Captain." Sun Changwu couldn't help but mourn in silence for the Japanese army. He knew that once the Japanese infantry was subjected to heavy artillery fire from them, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
