Just when Seishiro Sakagaki was too excited to sleep, Colonel Saburo Kawabe, chief of staff of the division, walked up to him and whispered persuasion.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you'd better take a rest first, otherwise you will be even more tired when the general offensive is launched tomorrow."
"Yo Xi, Mr. Hebian, you are here."
When Seishiro Sakagaki saw Saburo Kawabe coming, he pointed at the map excitedly and said: "Kawabian, look at it, as long as Linyi is captured and Taierzhuang in front is captured, the imperial army can march straight in, and then Xuzhou will be ours."
The fifth division is in the bag."
Colonel Kawabe showed a worried look on his face: "Your Excellency, the mission of our division is just to cooperate with the Isoya (10th) Division to conduct a feint attack. If the deployment of the headquarters is disrupted, Terauchi Juichi may be blamed.
"
"snort!"
Seishiro Sakagaki said disdainfully: "The Isoya Division can do the main attack, can't our Fifth Division do the same? As long as Xuzhou can be captured, it doesn't matter who does the main attack? I think General Touichi Terauchi's mind is a little biased.
.”
"Your Excellency, be careful what you say! Don't say this nonsense!"
When Colonel Kawabe heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. The Japanese army was very strict about the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates. In private, subordinates publicly criticized the character of a commander. If word got out, not only Sakagaki would be in trouble, but also Saburo Kawabe's
The future is also worrying.
"Huh, there's nothing I can't say."
Perhaps sensing his own gaffe, Sakagaki Seishiro groaned a few times and remained silent, then looked at the map and began to think deeply.
After a while, Sakagaki Seishiro asked: "Hebianjun, is there anything going on over at Liujia Lake?"
Saburo Kawabe shook his head and said: "No, the captain of the 11th Regiment called just now and reported that they encountered several Chinese skirmishers in the middle of the night. After the exchange of fire, they quickly withdrew, but two Imperial soldiers were missing.
Traced."
Although Saburo Kawabe spoke tactfully, Seishiro Sakagaki understood the meaning. Saburo Kawabe clearly meant that two Imperial soldiers had been captured.
Sakagaki was annoyed for a while and couldn't help but cursed a national curse in a low voice: "Baga, the damn Chinese!"
Seeing that Seishiro Sakagaki was angry, Saburo Kawabe comforted him: "Your Excellency, division commander, there is no need to be angry. They are just two soldiers. If they are missing, just go missing. Since the expansion of the Empire and China, have there not been many missing soldiers from the Empire?"
Sakagaki Seishiro shook his head: "This is not a matter of a few missing soldiers, but I think there must be something wrong here. The Chinese people will not sneak into Liujia Lake for no reason. They must have some ulterior motives."
It has to be said that Seishiro Sakagaki's intuition was very accurate. As soon as he heard about Liu Jiahu, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He thought about it and said to Colonel Kawabe: "Immediately call Sasaki of the 11th Regiment."
The Fifth Third Colonel called and asked him to immediately strengthen the investigation on the other side of Liujia Lake. The general offensive is about to be launched, and nothing can go wrong at this time!"
"Hai!"
Colonel Hebian bowed, reached out and grabbed the phone on the ammunition box, and quickly connected to the 11th Regiment: "Moxi Moxi, is this Colonel Sasaki? I'm from the division headquarters.
The chief of staff at the riverside and the commander of the Sakagaki Division asked me to order you to deal with..."
"boom……"
Before Colonel Hebian finished speaking, he heard a violent explosion from the other end of the phone, followed by a faint sound of gunfire from the phone.
"Hey, Colonel Sasaki, what happened? Hurry up and speak!" Colonel Hebian was anxious and yelled into the phone. At this time, in addition to gunshots, there was also a rustling sound coming from the phone.
.
After a while, Sasaki Wu's voice came from the phone, "His Excellency Osaka by the river, there was gunfire from the other side. I just sent someone over to check! But it sounded like the gunfire was very dense, and it didn't sound like anything.
Harassment by a few stragglers.”
Saburo Kawabe said quickly: "You must find out the situation as soon as possible and report to the division headquarters immediately!"
"Hai!"
Just when Sanlang put down the phone by the river, Lin Shiqian had already led three battalions of the 398th Regiment to cross Liujia Lake and launched an attack on the enemy in front of them. Behind them, Wang Dezi was commanding more than ten artillery pieces to attack the enemy.
A fierce bombardment was carried out from the front.
Under the cover of the artillery battalion's six 105-caliber howitzers and twelve 75-caliber field guns, the three battalions of the 398th Regiment formed a pin-shaped formation and launched an attack on the Japanese position with knee-deep lake water.
charge.
Since the Japanese army has been on the offensive side in recent days, they have not paid much attention to Liujia Lake, which is separated by a lake. Naturally, they have not built any defensive fortifications. Now that they are attacked by the 398th Regiment, the entire regiment is suddenly overwhelmed.
Already.
Under Wang Dezi's command, screams of various tunes continued through the air, and countless artillery shells began to fly towards the Japanese camp. The shells exploded in various places. Huge fireballs burst out, and countless simple fortifications
, trucks, mules and horses were torn apart and thrown mercilessly, mixed with the cries and screams of countless people, and the ground was covered with burning gasoline and broken materials and body parts.
Looking at the Japanese camp shrouded in flames, Su Rui's agitated mood could not calm down for a long time. He held his hands tightly. This was the first attack against the Japanese invaders he had commanded, and he believed that this would never happen.
It's the last time.
He will continue to attack the Japanese until the Japanese retreat to their country in embarrassment, until his military flag is planted on the Japanese mainland and Mount Fuji.
The excited Su Rui felt that his body could not help but tremble with excitement. He said loudly to Liang Zhi beside him: "Chief of Staff Liang, order the artillery battalion. After ten minutes, the artillery fire will be moved back to block the Japanese rescue channel. In the message
Lin Shiqian, within half an hour I will see the 398th Regiment breaking into the position of the 11th Japanese Regiment."
"yes!"
Liang Zhi's voice was still so calm, and he answered with his voice that seemed to never fluctuate.
"Da da da……"
The submachine gun in Lin Shiqian's hand kept pouring out flames, which looked so clear in the dark night, and also reflected a dark red on his face.
The 398th Regiment is the regiment with the most veterans among the 300 Brigades. The proportion of veterans is as high as 70%. This is also
One of the reasons why Suri let this group play the main attack role.
"Pa bang bang..."
A burst of bullets came, and the two charging soldiers next to Lin Shiqian fell down. Lin Shiqian took a look and saw that there was a Japanese firepower point emerging from a dark patch of dirt more than 200 meters ahead.
"Machine gun, machine gun, come here quickly and shoot down the Japs on the other side. You must get involved with the Japs as soon as possible!"
Lin Shiqian knew very well that now they caught the Japanese army by surprise, and the Japanese infantry's precise shooting advantage was not used in the dark night. This was the reason why they could rush to the opposite side of the Japanese army so quickly. If they waited until dawn, once the Japanese army reacted
Come over, and with the help of planes in the sky, their casualties will be huge.
"Order the first battalion to speed up the attack. We must join forces with the Japanese army and give full play to the advantages of our automatic weapons!"
Lin Shiqian issued this order while charging with the soldiers around him. Around him, countless soldiers wearing gray-green combat uniforms were swarming towards the Japanese position.
"Baga, hold on quickly, we must not let the Chinese come over!"
At the Japanese camp in Liujiahu, Captain Sasaki Gotozaya of the 11th Regiment commanded the soldiers to fight desperately. It is said that the individual quality of the Japanese field troops is still very good. After a short period of chaos, the Japanese soldiers used 38-type rifles.
The bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 11 light machine gun also swept forward like splashing water.
But unfortunately, the artillery shells that continued to explode around them and the night became their biggest enemies. The shrapnel flying in all directions caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, especially the power of those 105 howitzers.
After the explosion of more than ten kilograms of artillery shells, the Japanese troops within a radius of thirty square meters were either killed or injured. Coupled with the bombardment of twelve 75 field guns, the Japanese troops had no way to prevent effective resistance.
Under such high-intensity bombardment, the Japanese army had thousands of troops, but they could not be effectively organized. This also made Sasaki the five great commanders so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.
"Baga, why do the Chinese have heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100? Could it be that those who are attacking tonight are the elite troops of the Chinese Central Army?"
Looking at the shells falling around him, Sasaki Wu's mood was like half-boiled water that kept boiling.
At this time, the gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the grenades thrown by the Chinese army attacking from the opposite side had already landed in the Japanese defenses. Although the Japanese army was also firing forward desperately, the Chinese army in front was not afraid.
, they continued to pour in, stepping on the corpses of their fallen comrades. With bursts of explosions, the Japanese defense line began to shake.
"We can't continue like this. If we continue like this, the entire defense line will be in danger of collapse!"
Sasaki Gozuo had quite a lot of combat experience. He called for a battalion commander of the puppet army and said to him: "Liu Battalion Commander, you will immediately lead your troops to launch a counterattack against the Chinese army on the opposite side. You will definitely
We need to drive those Chinese troops out of our position, do you understand?"
"ah!"
The puppet battalion commander surnamed Liu was immediately dumbfounded. Even a fool could see that the national army on the opposite side was determined to capture this place, and was already jealous. His battalion had become a mess after the chaos just now.
.It would be nice to have hundreds of people who can be summoned together. With these people fighting head-on against the red-eyed national troops in front of them, is it because they think they are not dying fast enough?
"Taijun, there are only a few people left in my army. I can no longer..."
"Pa bang..."
Before the battalion commander finished speaking, Sasaki Wu took out the southern pistol commonly known as the bastard box and fired two shots at his feet.
Sasakigo shouted to him ferociously: "If you don't go, the next shot won't hit the ground!"
"Hai!"
Battalion Commander Liu was so frightened that his legs were trembling and he didn't dare to speak anymore. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers... you're all going to fight me like crazy!"
After saying that, Battalion Commander Liu led more than a hundred chaotic puppet troops to the front...
