With a smile on his face, Battalion Commander Cao said, "There are eight crooked handles in the regiment alone, three Type 92 heavy machine guns, and more than 200 Type 38 rifles! In terms of ammunition, there are

There are more, it seems that our 181st Regiment doesn’t need to replenish the ammunition from the division headquarters!”

Nodding, the commander of the 181st Regiment shouted: "Yes, yes! This battle was really beautiful. I want to report it to the division headquarters and credit the brothers!"

After a pause, the regiment leader shouted again: "Old Cao, give some of the weapons we captured to the division headquarters, and keep the rest for your own use!"

His eyes were stunned, and Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Regiment leader! Why is this! Our regiment originally lacked firepower. On average, the three battalions did not have three machine guns. I feel bad for sending them back like this!"

Wrinkling his brows, the regiment leader shouted: "Obey the order, we have to take the overall situation into consideration. Other brother units are also in short supply of heavy weapons. If other defense areas cannot be defended, it will be in vain no matter how beautifully we fight here. Quick, put it down

Seize it and send it to the division headquarters!"

After sighing, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Yes, I will obey the order!"

Looking at the wreckage of the combat anti-artillery, the regiment leader shouted: "Wait a minute, the wreckage of the combat anti-artillery is also sent back to the division headquarters. There are capable people in the division headquarters, and maybe they can assemble a cannon!"

With eyes wide open, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Commander! These anti-tank artillery pieces have been blown up to nothing, what use can they have?"

The regiment leader shouted: "Old Cao, I see you are tall and thick, but why are you like the old ladies? You talk endlessly! Hurry up and complete the task!"

After a sudden pause, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Yes!"

…

The command room of the 31st Division Headquarters.

Standing in front of a Taierzhuang military map, Liang Shanhao was considering the military situation of each position in Taierzhuang.

In today's battle, the Isoya Division still focused its attack on the north gate of Taierzhuang.

The Japanese soldiers attacking the north gate numbered five thousand, which was a fully equipped infantry regiment.

The 181st Regiment that defends the neighborhoods near the North City Gate is only a Type B infantry regiment. No matter the quality of its soldiers or its weapons and equipment, it cannot be compared with the elite Japanese regiment.

However, the 181st Regiment defended based on the buildings in the neighborhood, so they were still fighting against the Japanese.

Facing Gang head-on, the 181st regiment will definitely be defeated.

But in the narrow streets, no matter how large the number of Japanese soldiers were, they would not be able to form a position.

Therefore, as long as the 181st Regiment can rely on block defense, it can still hold the defense line at the north gate of Taierzhuang.

The gunshots of the battle at the north gate of Taierzhuang were sparse, and Liang Shanhao guessed that the battle at the north gate was almost over!

Just then, the chief of staff walked in from outside the command department!

Liang Shanhao raised his head and shouted: "Chief of Staff, if I guess correctly, the 181st Regiment has won another battle!"

After laughing, the chief of staff shouted: "It must be a victory. The 181st Regiment defeated the 11th Regiment, which is very satisfying!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "It seems that introducing the little devil into the neighborhood fight has some effect!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Master! You are really amazing. The street fighting really caused huge casualties to the Japs. The Japs lost at least 800 people in this battle, while our 181st Regiment only suffered more than 400 casualties."

people!"

With a smile on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "The battle loss ratio between the enemy and ourselves has actually reached two to one, which is a bit beyond my expectation!"

The chief of staff shouted again: "Commander! There is one more thing I want to tell you!"

Liang Shanhao raised his eyebrows and shouted: "We have captured the little devil's high official!"

Shaking his head, the chief of staff shouted: "No, this time the 181st Regiment captured a large amount of Japanese equipment. The leader of the 181st Regiment sent some back and asked the division to transfer it to brother troops who lacked heavy weapons to strengthen other units in Taierzhuang.

Directional defense!”

Smiling slightly, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Hey, the leader of the 181st Regiment does have some sense of the overall situation. What kind of equipment did he send?"

After pondering for a while, the chief of staff shouted: "Four crooked machine guns, one Type 92 heavy machine gun, some ammunition, um, and a bunch of spare parts for combat anti-aircraft artillery!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "The gains of the 181st Regiment are not small. I want to give them credit. These weapons should be sent to the east gate. The weapons and equipment of the 182nd Regiment must be replaced! The parts of the combat anti-artillery are given to the engineer company.

Let Lao Hu tinker and see if he can build a combat defense cannon!"

The chief of staff shouted in response: "Yes!"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Is there any news about Tang Junjun?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Yes! Today, Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps has moved out of the mountainous area and is now marching towards Yixian County, preparing to outflank the 10th Division's retreat, but there is still bad news."

With a look in his eyes, Liang Shanhao asked in a deep voice: "What's the bad news?"

A command pole pointed at the map, and the chief of staff shouted in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, the Japanese Segu detachment has signs of moving to the left wing of Taierzhuang!"

After carefully studying the map of Taierzhuang, Liang Shanhao sighed and shouted: "The Japs' intention is obvious. They want to attack the east gate and form a pincer attack with the Japs at the north gate! In this way, Taierzhuang's defensive pressure will become

Bigger!”

After a pause, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Inform the division's cavalry company to strengthen the reconnaissance of this group of Japs and closely monitor the movements of this group of Japs!"

Suddenly raising his head, the chief of staff shouted: "Yes!"

…

The headquarters of the 10th Regiment, in a military tent.

With his head hanging down, the captain of the 11th Regiment was being scolded by the commander of the Isoya Division.

A fully equipped infantry regiment was unable to defeat a second-rate infantry regiment.

In the eyes of the Isotani division commander, this is really intolerable!

After giving the captain of the Eleventh Regiment a few blows, the commander of the Isotani Division sternly scolded: "Higashikawa-kun, how did you become the captain of the Regiment? Look at how you led the Eleventh Regiment.

What happened! Tell me how you lost this battle! If you don’t tell me, you will have a caesarean section to thank the empire!"

After nodding Hayi repeatedly, Captain Dongchuan shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander! This is really not my fault. I followed the empire's infantry tactics to attack. If I want to blame, I can only blame my opponent for being too cunning!"

Staring at the captain of the Dongchuan regiment, the commander of the Isotani division shouted in a deep voice: "Nani? You are blaming the China Army for your defeat. It's really your fault. The defeat was so ugly. Why don't you take it from yourself?

Looking for the reason!"

Bowing down again, Captain Dongchuan shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, you don't know something! The firepower configuration of the China Army is really abnormal. In this battle, the China Army not only arranged cross-platforms on the houses on both sides.

Firepower, they also deployed mortars on the roof. As soon as my 11th Regiment entered the block, it was attacked by mortars falling from the sky. The battle lasted less than thirty minutes, and a combat anti-artillery squadron was lost!"

The commander of the Isoya Division scolded: "When attacked by mortars, why don't you use grenades to knock them out? Are you a loser?"

Shaking his head, Captain Dongchuan shouted: "The China Army's mortars are too concealed! Our grenade can't work at all! In desperation, we can only send infantry to close up and attack!"

The mortar position of the 181st Regiment was arranged on the top floor. The Japanese grenade could not pose an effective threat in terms of range or accuracy.

The only effective means of combat is for the infantry to get up close and kill the artillery.

Looking up and down at the Higashikawa regiment commander, the Isotani division commander yelled: "Then why did you lose? I think you are such a big fool! Fortunately, you are a top student who graduated from the Imperial Army University. Higashikawa-kun, you are really

I’m so disappointed!”

With a heavy sigh, Captain Dongchuan shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is not my fault. The failure of the close attack must be attributed to the tactical cooperation of the Chinese Army. It is also very consistent. One of my squadrons just broke in."
