"Nana Nani?! How could this happen?!" Seeing the dazzling flames that suddenly burst out in the night in front of him, Ishihara Shinya's eyes instantly opened up as big as a bull's eye.
Shinya Ishihara is also the captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment. However, unlike Hidezo, Shinya Ishihara is not only from the famous Ishihara family in Tokyo, but he is also a talented student who graduated from the Army University.
Therefore, the relationship with Hiuzō Hizo has never been very good.
Because in private, Ishihara Shinya often laughed at Hitomi Hidezo.
It is precisely because of this that Renjian Shusan sent Ishihara Shinya to Gansu Road, in order to leave the hardest bones for Ishihara Shinya, a famous kid, and a talented student from Lu University to gnaw on. Don't you famous kids always look down on the poor kids?
?Don’t you Lu students always look down on the cadet students?
Okay, then in the shortest possible time, I will penetrate the Gansu Road and defeat the Chinese people on the opposite side. Let us see what you, the children of famous families and the talented students from mainland China, are capable of.
Shinya Ishihara is also well aware of Hidezo's little thoughts.
But even though he knew it, Ishihara Shinya didn't care much because he didn't pay attention to the Chinese people opposite him at all.
Because according to reliable intelligence, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side were defeated troops of the National Army who stayed in Shanghai after the Battle of Songhu. These Chinese soldiers were originally their defeated generals. Since the Imperial Japanese Army could defeat them once, they could easily do so.
Defeat them for the second time, so Shinya Ishihara is not worried at all about this battle.
Although Shinya Ishihara looked down on Hidezo Hitomi, he fully agreed with Hidezo Hitomi's strategy of launching a large-scale attack from the start. It was precisely because of this that the other two members of the 19th Infantry Regiment
The captain didn't pay much attention to it, but Ishihara Shinya was very concerned about it, and he really launched a desperate attack.
Shinya Ishihara originally thought that the 1st Infantry Squadron that went into the attack would overwhelm the Chinese defense line like a tide, and then rush all the way to the vicinity of the Sixing Warehouse. However, what suddenly bloomed under the night in front were these dense webs of dazzling flames.
, but shattered Ishihara Shinya’s fantasy.
"Da da da da..."
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Accompanied by the intensive gunfire, there was the pop-pop sound of bullets hitting concrete or wooden buildings.
Just when Ishihara Shinya was stunned, several tongues of fire were already sweeping towards him. Ishihara Shinya's adjutant quickly stepped forward and knocked Ishihara Shinya to the ground, but his adjutant was instantly swept by two dazzling tongues of fire.
, the short and stocky body trembled violently twice and fell to the ground.
Shinya Ishihara got up from the ground in despair. When he looked up again, he found that the first infantry squadron that had just launched the attack had been completely disabled. Of the more than 250 people who launched the attack, only less than 70 escaped in the end.
people, including two fire support teams, and most of those who escaped were still injured.
"Captain! The firepower of the Chinese is too fierce!"
"Captain, the Chinese are equipped with a lot of submachine guns!"
"What is the purpose of super high school? Why is such important information not reported in advance?"
Several of his squadron commanders immediately surrounded him, especially Takeo Nakajima, the squadron leader of the 1st Infantry Squadron who had just escaped from the battlefield. His face turned green with anger.
After being yelled at by Nakajima Takeo, Ishihara Shinya suddenly remembered that when Hidezo Hidezo summoned several of their captains for a pre-war meeting, he seemed to have mentioned that the Chinese defenders were equipped with submachine guns, but Ishihara Shinya did not.
We didn't take it seriously because during the Battle of Songhu, the National Army was also equipped with a small number of flower traps.
However, actual combat has proven that a small number of flower traps cannot be effective.
In fact, Hiuzo didn't take it seriously when he saw it, he just conveyed it.
But now, Shinya Ishihara finally understands how important this piece of information he ignored is!
But as a commander, Shin Ishihara would never admit his mistake in front of Takeo Nakajima.
"Baga!" At that moment, Shinya Ishihara slapped Takeo Nakajima across the face, and then cursed, "If you lose, you lose. Never give yourself any excuses. No matter how many excuses you find, they will never be able to cover you up.
The cruel fact is that you have no command, now I will give you one last chance to take down the Gansu Road!"
"Hai!" Takeo Nakajima looked miserable, but he could only stop and kill him.
After a while, the Nakajima Squadron launched another attack, but Ishihara Shinya did not go too far after all. Instead, he added a supplementary squadron in his hand to the 1st Infantry Squadron, causing the strength of the 1st Infantry Squadron to increase rather than decrease.
, unprecedentedly expanded to more than 300 people, which even exceeded the scope of strengthening the squadron.
This time, Nakajima Squadron's attack was much more cautious. After all, the little devil is not stupid. After suffering a big loss, he can have a longer memory, so the next battle will be much crueler than before. The third battalion
The casualties of the company began to increase. After all, the Japs were not vegetarians. They were a permanent division after all.
But even so, the little devil didn't take advantage.
The fierce battle reached dawn, and the Ishihara Brigade finally occupied most of Gansu Road. However, in the final block of less than 50 meters, no matter how hard the Ishihara Brigade tried, it could not go any further. The 3rd Battalion and the 1st Company of the 2nd Regiment were like nails.
Then, no matter how fiercely the Japanese attack, they remain unmoved.
After realizing that the battle could not be ended in a short period of time, Ishihara Shinya could only come to the North Railway Station in dejection and saw Hidezo coming back. When Ishihara Shinya walked into the train station hall, he saw two other infantry brigades at a glance.
The captain stood like two pillars in front of Hidezo Hidden, being trained.
"Trash, a bunch of trash!"
"Stupid pig, just a stupid pig!"
"We fought all night, but we couldn't even take down a street!"
"The imperial army not only has an absolute advantage in troops, but also has an absolute advantage in artillery. But you have been fighting for a whole night, but you can't take down just two streets. What do you do for food?"
Everyone saw Xiu San roaring loudly, but the two captains just lowered their heads and remained silent.
It wasn't until Shinya Ishihara walked in with a saber in his hand and his head lowered that the two captains were finally freed.
Hidezo's attention immediately shifted to Ishihara Shinya and asked: "Ishihara-kun, your first infantry brigade has the largest number of troops and the best equipment. It even has a mountain artillery squadron to assist in the battle, and the terrain of Gansu Road is also difficult.
It's difficult to attack and defend, so you must have made a breakthrough, and what you bring to me must be good news, right?"
Ishihara Shinya's expression suddenly stiffened, as if he had eaten a lump of food.
Seeing Ishihara Shinya like this, Hidezo's expression immediately turned cold, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Ishihara-kun, don't tell me that your first infantry brigade was not able to break through the Gansu Road?"
"Hai." Shinya Ishihara said with a grimace, "Although I don't want to say it, it is true."
"Baga!" Seeing Shuzo, Hito suddenly exploded. He put his face in front of Ishihara Shinya, opened his big mouth, and cursed loudly, while constantly spitting at Ishihara Shinya, "You are also a waste.
, Idiots, stupid pigs, pigs are smarter than you, pigs are more capable than you, pigs are better at fighting than you! You are simply inferior to pigs and dogs!"
Shinya Ishihara could only hold back his nausea and let Hidezo keep spitting on his face. He had no choice but to let Hidezo be a colonel and he was just a major? He was the only one born in Tokyo.
The Ishihara family, and also a mainland university student, if it were another captain with a bad background or who had never been to mainland China, he would have received countless slaps in the face.
Seeing Hidezo spitting on Ishihara Shinya's face for several minutes, he finally stopped.
After drinking the water, Hitomi Hidezo finally stopped spraying. Instead, he asked Ishihara Shinya and the other two infantry battalion captains to go back and reorganize the troops to prepare for a new round of attacks during the day, because aviation support could not be obtained at night, and now it was time.
When daytime comes, Army Aviation and Naval Aviation can assist in the battle.
(Dividing line)
Hitomi Hidezo felt that with the participation of the aviation force, the situation might be different.
However, Nakagawa Hiroshi and his combat staff did not think so.
The raid last night was like a fight between two masters who didn't know the details. One of them with a slightly higher force value launched a violent attack like a storm, hoping that through the fierce attack of these three axes, the opponent would be directly piled on top of each other.
It fell, but unfortunately it has not fallen yet, so the situation will inevitably fall into a stalemate.
Hiroshi Nakagawa, chief of staff of the Ninth Division, sighed and said: "Division Commander, facts have proved that these National Army veterans stranded in Shanghai have not degenerated. Although they have not trained for more than a year and have not been on the battlefield, their
There is no deterioration in combat skills and tactical literacy."
"Soga." Yoshizumi Ryosuke nodded and said, "On this point, we did miscalculate."
"However, the situation is not completely out of control." Nakagawa Hiroshi said, "It's just that it is impossible to win quickly. I am afraid that the only way to adopt a long-term siege tactic is as long as the Broadway Building can be nailed to the south bank of the Suzhou River.
If a grain of grain and a bullet from the concession are not allowed to cross the Suzhou River, the patrol camp will be defeated!"
"But I'm worried that the Broadway Building won't be able to withstand it," said Yoshimika Ryosuke.
Nakagawa Guang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "What does the division commander mean?"
"Let's try again. After all, it's dawn now. Both the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 36th Infantry Regiment can get support from aviation. The Marine Corps can also get fire support from naval aviation. So?
