Setouchi is actually very forward-looking, and he guessed at least most of them right.
The 36th Infantry Brigade is very strong. Even if the advance group tries its best, it will never be their opponent. However, Tang Dao will not easily abandon the Chinese officers and soldiers in the blocking position just because the opponent is strong. He will definitely return reinforcements.
"Don't abandon, don't give up" is the soul of the Chinese army. Tang Dao, who was deeply influenced by this spirit, may not be destined to become the kind of famous general who "one general can accomplish thousands of bones".
But what does it matter? He is Tang Dao and will only do what he thinks is right and what is useful for the country and the nation.
Whether he can become a so-called famous general is not Tang Dao's consideration.
What he was anxious about was only in front of him.
When the infantry regiment of the 18th Division protecting the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was transferred, the fate of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was actually sealed. Tang Dao was confident enough that he could not break through the defense line of hundreds of Japanese infantry.
Winning a victory that had been decided a week in advance was not something Tang Dao was anxious about. His anxiety was not limited to the more than a thousand people he had left several kilometers away to face the 36th Infantry Brigade.
The 36th Infantry Brigade may not be able to break through the blocking line of defense for the time being, but they have enough troops and heavy firepower. When the sun rises and the position is clearly visible, let alone Zhao, he will lead those thousand soldiers on Tuesday.
The main force of the entire army came back for reinforcements, which was like a moth flying into a flame.
Because, not far away, there is the 18th Division, the Japanese army has enough reinforcements, and there will be Japanese fighter planes in the sky.
The most terrible thing is that at this point, he no longer has enough tactical maneuver space. The Japanese army only needs to draw out another infantry regiment to surround his 3,000 men and horses in this humid wilderness.
The three infantry divisions on the Jiashan defense line used defense fortifications to resist the indiscriminate bombardment of an infantry division and a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army. They had already suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted. If the Hunan Army Division had not used its terrible will as a "Hunan barbarian"
Night attacks again and again caused the Japanese army, which had suffered several heavy losses, to stay away from the battlefield every night. In fact, the defense line had already been breached.
Tonight, in order to cooperate with him in the battle, the three infantry divisions took great risks and left their relatively strong fortifications to proactively attack the 18th Division. It was almost conceivable that their losses would be several times that of the usual daytime defensive battles.
It can be said that the victory of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade in this assault was not only the huge sacrifice made by the blocking position, nor even the sacrifice of the entire advance group, but the sacrifice of all Chinese people on the entire Jiashan defense line.
If statistics were compiled after the war, Tang Dao was even sure that the number of Chinese soldiers killed and injured that night would never be less than that of the Japanese soldiers.
However, it's all worth it.
After the two lieutenant generals heard about Tang Dao's almost impossible plan a week ago, although they couldn't believe it and hesitated, they finally agreed to take the risk, not because of how perfect Tang Dao's plan was, but because this time it was completely
The goals of gambling tactics are tempting enough.
With all the elites of the army deployed, under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, the whole army still needs to be fully assisted. Even if it is not considered bankrupt, it is still a bankrupt gamble.
But as long as we can kill the heavy artillery brigade, it's worth it.
That's because the two army lieutenant generals with extremely rich combat experience knew the terror of heavy artillery. Without solid fortifications, let alone their two infantry divisions, even if they had five or six more, they would not have the confidence to fight against the Japanese.
An infantry division faced off.
When they thought that they would be pursued by a Japanese division with a heavy artillery brigade, the two lieutenant generals felt like they had a thorn in their backs. Sooner or later, it would be a doomed situation.
Rather than that, it's better to use Tang Dao's move, which is almost like a gamble.
According to Lieutenant General Wu, as long as he can defeat the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, not to mention the 3,000 elites, if this number is multiplied by two, his Songjiang army will also make a lot of money, and at least half of them will be able to leave this place alive.
The film has been completely eroded battlefield.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Tang Dao and the advance team are called abandoned sons is not because they were abandoned at the Baihe Port Bridge, but here.
At night, the entire army was mobilized to hold back the 20,000-strong army of the 18th Division. This was the limit of what the three infantry divisions could do. The fate of the remaining Tang Dao and the advance regiment could only be left to God.
At this moment, the advance team was like an unsheathed steel knife, which made the Japanese blood drip with blood and almost died from the pain, but the knife came out without any return.
Underneath the ultimate victory, hidden is the crisis of complete annihilation.
Fortunately, the battle situation exceeded Tang Dao's expectations. The Japanese artillery commander was very determined and exploded the artillery on his own after the defense line was breached. However, they were still too late. Six 150-caliber heavy artillery were captured by Tang Dao's main force.
Tang Dao finally gained a chance for himself and the advance team.
From that moment on, Tang Dao did not simply want to return to Zhao's aid. He wanted to return to the Jiashan defense line in the blocking position of the Tuesday people.
Those 150-meter heavy artillery with sufficient ammunition are the sharpest spears in Tang Dao's hands, and they are the spears that confront the fierce and powerful 36th Infantry Brigade.
Tang Dao wants to repel the 36th Infantry Brigade.
But big things like artillery are by no means just something you can play with. First of all, you have to have someone who can operate them. Cheng Tietou and a group of elite artillerymen were born in mortars. Small-caliber mortars are most commonly used by even the Japanese army.
There is no problem in controlling the infantry artillery. It is barely possible to even place the 150 heavy artillery flat and fire a few blindly at the front.
However, if you want to adjust the elevation range of the heavy artillery and many other units to carry out artillery attacks on the 36th Infantry Brigade, which is more than 6,000 meters away, you really have to think too much.
Even if they had the guts to do it, Tang Dao wouldn't dare.
In that position, in addition to the Japanese, there were thousands of his troops, including the Four Lines Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion, the Fire Support Company, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Leng Feng, Li Jijin, Pang Dahai, Lu Sanjiang, Niu Er, Yang
Xiao Shan and other elite soldiers and generals are all there.
Some of these people are his most promising officers, and some are special warriors he has carefully trained. The death of one of them is enough to break his heart, let alone being exposed to the squandering of a bunch of artillerymen who have never controlled heavy artillery.
Shot.
Tang Dao would rather lead this group of elite soldiers to fight the Japanese in a 'sword versus wheat' battle.
It is the fate of a warrior to die on the battlefield fighting the enemy, but if he dies under the control of one of his own, Tang Dao will never forgive himself.
The little butterfly from the future is China's most powerful individual soldier. He has been involved in many types of weapons from all branches of the sea, land and air, not to mention large-caliber artillery, tanks, helicopters and even fighter jets. But this does not mean that he can immediately
It is possible to get started with 'old' cannons produced in the 1930s. He also needs test firings to calibrate the firing unit and accuracy of the gun.
Tang Dao had already thought of countermeasures when he received the captured heavy artillery.
However, after the entire battlefield is under his control.
When the 36th Artillery Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Setouchi, who was replaced on the battlefield, summoned his subordinates to formulate new tactics, on the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade's position, the main force led by Tang Dao also basically gained control of the battlefield.
right.
Although sharp-edged troops such as the Sixing Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion were lost, as well as all the mortars, the Garrison Battalion, an elite unit that had experienced Songjiang street fighting, was still enough to complete the intersecting encirclement that was not too strong.
Although the performance of the 25mm twin-mounted machine gun captured from the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery brigade is far inferior to that of the Sulotong machine gun, in the face of the temporary field fortifications constructed by the Japanese artillery, it is absolutely a god that can kill the god and destroy the Buddha at the sight of it.
By the time a position where more than 600 Japanese troops gathered was breached, and all the officers and subordinates, including the major general brigade commander, were killed in the wilderness, the defeat of the Japanese army without command was inevitable.
A large number of Japanese soldiers who lost their will to fight were killed, but at the same time, many Japanese soldiers chose to kneel down and beg for surrender.
It's not that their fighting will is not strong enough. In fact, a group of artillerymen with few rifles resisted more than a thousand elites led by Tang Dao for more than 3 hours. Such a record is enough to make
The pride of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade has disappeared.
The artillerymen who lost their artillery were actually not much better than a group of armed militiamen. Their combat effectiveness was actually far beyond Tang Dao's expectations.
Kneeling down and begging for surrender, that was the outcome after three hours of constant defeats, watching one's own position being eroded bit by bit, and one's colleagues being mercilessly killed in the wilderness, and finally the will to survive prevailed.
Survival is the instinct of living things.
Using this kind of mill-style attack inspired some of the Japanese artillerymen's most primitive will to survive. This was also the result Tang Dao wanted to see most.
Because he needs these artillery prisoners of war.
Or to be more precise, those six 150-meter heavy guns need gunners.
