Chapter 1565 Tonight is the time to destroy the sixth division
Yes! In such a terrible battle, he was still alive and didn't let his mother down far away. It's really a good thing.
Even though his whole body was wrapped with cloth tape, he had at least seven wounds.
Three places were bullet holes. The Japanese's 38-cap bullets were indeed not powerful enough. He was also very lucky. The bullets passed through the soft muscles without touching the bones and blood vessels. Apart from the pain, there was no large amount of blood loss. This was why he could survive.
The main reason why we can continue fighting after we get down.
There are also four wounds caused by shrapnel cuts or burns. If you decide to wrap the wounded like a rice dumpling before the battle, the seriously wounded will be properly wrapped, but he can only wrap the wounds and continue fighting.
It is rare to see seriously injured people on the battlefield, and the mortality rate of injured people who are unable to move is as high as 95%, because without the medical team and stretcher team, they have all become soldiers.
There are only two kinds of people left on the battlefield, the living and the dead.
If you don't want to die, you can only continue fighting until you die.
Fortunately, he is still alive. He can still breathe beautifully, cough, and laugh.
"What a fool, I finally persisted until dark. Heipi, call the platoon to assemble. We have to go back to eat." Yang Silang took a few puffs of cigarette and shouted towards the ruins.
Yes, in the afternoon, Yang Silang had been promoted to platoon leader. But this time it was not about his high military exploits, but that the infantry platoon he was in, from the platoon leader to the other two squad leaders who were more senior than him,
, were all killed in the battle. According to the order, it was only Danzi, who was a new recruit two days ago, who could serve as the platoon leader.
In fact, this new recruit from two days ago did not know that after sunset, he was already the most senior platoon commander. If the company commander Yang Songlin died in battle, he would take over as the commander of the 7th company.
In the entire 152nd Regiment, starting from the commander Xie Guji down, in the past few days of fighting, the death rate of company and platoon-level officers was as high as 90%. If those who were killed in battle after promotion were included, the death rate would be as high as 90%.
It is even more alarmingly high. This is also the main reason why the 152nd Regiment was able to hold on for a whole day despite the attack of 5,000 Japanese troops. The officers took the lead and fought hard, and very few ordinary soldiers retreated.
Even those who retreated could not survive. The decisiveness of the battlefield supervisor's firing was even more terrifying than that of the Japanese army, although in the end they all rushed to the front line.
"Yes, platoon leader!" Heipi came out of nowhere with a gun in hand. His face was already dark, and now it was even blackened by gunpowder smoke and dust. If he hadn't said something, this wouldn't have been possible.
It was too dark to see anyone in the dark.
"A row has gathered. All turtles, please come out quickly. I'm so hungry that my belly is pressed to my backbone." Perhaps because it's too dark for better concealment, Heipi's body miraculously didn't suffer any injuries.
Quite angry.
The five houses in this block belong to their platoon's position. When Yang Silang took over as the platoon leader in the afternoon, several squad leaders shouted to report the number of people in their respective infantry squads. There were more than 20 people. At this moment, no matter how hard it was, it was still...
Can there be only half of them left? A dozen or so?
Yang Silang actually still had some expectations, even if there was still one infantry squad left!
However, Yang Silang was disappointed.
"You guys, the platoon leader is calling for assembly! What are you doing here!" Hei Pi, who had been promoted to squad leader, cried in a panic and trembling voice, which looked desolate in the night sky.
However, after three full minutes, only one soldier climbed out of the rubble and stood in front of the two men.
"Damn it, this is impossible!" Heipi howled miserably and rushed into the ruins to search. "You are deliberately teasing me. I know, are you joking with me? You melon skins! Don't let me catch you.
you!"
Yang Silang coughed desperately, the local tobacco was so choking that he choked with tears on his face.
His infantry platoon actually couldn't even gather three infantry squad leaders.
"What the hell, what the hell, they're all dead! Let me do it! You can't even be the squad leader if you become a company commander!" Not far away, Yang Songlin, an infantry company commander, was wearing the same clothes.
The ragged stagger searched among the ruins.
Every time he found a soldier's body, he would put his ear on his chest and listen for a long time, even if the soldier's chest was already cold. However, what awaited him was basically disappointment.
Behind him were three soldiers. They were the only three soldiers he found when he passed the two infantry platoon positions. Even if he added the three from Yang Silang's side, with him as the company commander, the 7th Infantry Company,
There are only seven people left, and numerically speaking, they really fit together.
However, the position of the 7th Infantry Company was also the only position in the offensive and defensive battle during the day that did not undergo a counterattack. They had always defended it firmly and never lost it.
In front of their position, at least more than 160 Japanese soldiers lay down. Yang Silang did not know that in order to deal with the 7th Company, the Japanese army used a full infantry squadron, which was nearly twice their strength, as well as three heavy machine guns and a 37
mm rapid-fire gun.
The infantry squadron that was finally able to leave the battlefield had only 26 wounded, and the remaining 179 were all killed. In the afternoon, the captain of the infantry squadron felt extremely ashamed and self-blame because of the huge casualties and the lack of progress in the war.
He disemboweled himself on the battlefield.
The gunfire of the Chinese on the Mingming position is getting weaker and weaker, as if they can break through the Chinese defense line with just one attack, but the gunfire never stops, even if it is very few, bullets are flying from nowhere.
Often the advancing soldiers can be killed.
The position is so close, yet elusive.
But at such a time, the company commander had no pride in holding the position. He just kept searching in the ruins, looking for anyone who could breathe. If it was one of his own, he would naturally dance as if he had discovered a treasure. It was Japan.
Man, of course, solves all problems with a bayonet.
However, the smiles on the faces of those who are still alive are getting fewer and fewer, because hope is getting smaller and smaller.
In fact, such battlefields can be seen everywhere in Songjiang City. The company commander cannot find his platoon leader, the platoon leader cannot find his squad leader, and the squad leader cannot find his soldiers.
Because, they are all dead.
The Chinese soldiers mourned the departure of their comrades in the ruins, and the Japanese were beaten until their faces were covered with blood and they were in tears.
Their faces were covered with blood, indicating that they were also seriously injured. Thanks to the generosity of Yanagawa Heisuke, the Sixth Division added more than 5,000 reinforcements last night, almost fully replenishing the four infantry regiments. However, this day, from two to
When Major General Tokutaro Sakai, the commander of the brigade, and Hisao Ushijima, the lieutenant general of the division, saw the battle report, they felt dizzy.
Baga, this must be a nightmare, it must be fake! In four infantry regiments, not counting minor injuries, 5 officers at the rank of major were killed, 12 officers at the rank of captain were killed, and more than 40 were killed in the battle by lieutenants and second lieutenants.
A total of 4,300 people were killed, more than 1,700 were seriously injured, and more than 300 were missing. On such a battlefield, missing means death. Moreover, this is only the infantry. If you include the artillerymen who died in the battle, this number will be added to 500.
The rest, plus a colonel's artillery regiment captain and a dozen lieutenant-level officers.
The six division's two infantry brigades and four infantry regiments have a total of only 13,000 regular infantrymen. This is half less than half. In addition, the previous losses have not been fully replenished. Now Hisao Tani still has in his hands
Having 5,000 regular infantrymen would be considered a blessing.
If this is not a face full of blood, then what else is a face full of blood?
It was quite painful to have blood all over the face, but what made several generals of the Sixth Division burst into tears was the appearance of Chinese reinforcements.
An entire infantry corps and two infantry divisions with more than 20,000 people rushed from the northeast. Miraculously, they stopped 5 miles away from the firing range of the 105 howitzer position and began digging field trenches. What was even more painful was that
Yes, the timing of their arrival was really good. It was just before nightfall, when the artillery positions could not move forward and the bombers could not take off for bombing.
If they just dig field positions, that's it. Hisao Tani still has more than 3,000 reserves. In the distance, there is an infantry brigade of the 114th Division with more than 6,000 people, 9,000 people to cooperate with the 105 howitzers, and the Imperial Navy bombers that can be summoned tomorrow.
Coupled with the naval guns on the two light destroyers still anchored in the center of the Huangpu River, it was enough to stop them in a field battle.
Yes, after the Battle of Matsue, Hisao Tani's arrogance had already been beaten into his head. At this time, he would not only talk about defeating the Chinese army, but also talk about blocking the Chinese army's counterattack.
They all felt a little guilty.
Arrogance is a sign of over-inflated self-confidence, but it must be supported by achievements. If you are beaten until your nose is bruised and your face is swollen, but you still proudly say that you have unparalleled strength, then you are not arrogant but a fool.
Being able to become the division commander with one of the best combat capabilities of the Japanese Army, Hisao Tani is naturally not a fool, neither in terms of EQ nor IQ. The Chinese reinforcements arrived at such a coincidental time, which made Hisao Tani wary.
What made the alarm bells ring in his mind was that Liu Lang and his powerful independent regiment were still missing. No one knew where they were now. The imperial intelligence agencies in the Songjiang area seemed to have suddenly become blind.
This means that "Colonel Beast" is causing trouble again. For the first time, Hisao Tani feels that it is not safe to use 10,000 people to fight against 30,000 Chinese troops. What if they raid their position at night? Although that is possible
Very little sex.
Since there were not enough troops outside the city, we had to find a way from inside the city. Hisao Tani had to withdraw 80% of the troops still in the city, hoping to spend the night safely.
The position in the city, which cost the lives of nearly 10,000 Imperial Japanese officers and soldiers, can only be temporarily abandoned. Although there are still nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the city, in the eyes of the three Japanese generals, it is just for the sake of face.
If the Chinese army uses the night time to launch a counterattack, it will almost certainly be a foreseeable defeat.
They can only bet that the Chinese army is unable to organize a counterattack under the severely damaged conditions.
The majestic "most powerful division on the surface" unexpectedly fell into such a situation. Tell me, how could Hisao Tani not burst into tears?
But I'm afraid Hisao Tani didn't expect that the beast Colonel was far more terrifying than he imagined. At this time, he was already not far away from him, in the headquarters of the 67th Army.
All of Liu Lang's battle plans were laid out one by one in front of all the generals of the 67th Army.
"Tonight is the time to destroy the Sixth Division!" Without any unnecessary words, Liu Lang's first opening words almost scared the jaws of all the Chinese soldiers present!
