727. Tragic offense and defense

Yes, although the little devils are not human, they are definitely not fools. Especially the little devils are scheming, and they are also good at summarizing and reviewing.

This inevitable attack, not to mention the consumption of two-thirds of the shells, and the filling of a brigade with more than 700 people, was a huge failure and a huge loss that a little devil could not afford!

The two old mongrels Suzuki Shigeyasu and Akira Nara have survived a hundred battles, and they are even more scheming. After calming down, it is natural that the key to the matter is quickly discovered.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple, according to the current words, it is called "empathy"!

After the two old devils, Suzuki Shigeyasu and Akira Nara, returned to their lair, they began to deduce the changes in the entire offense and defense.

In other words, the two of them, as the offensive and defensive sides this time, began to comprehensively review the root cause of the failure of the attack.

An hour of saturation bombardment, followed by fifteen minutes of extended shelling, covered a brigade to storm a distance of two hundred meters. Even if the defenders are all Scuds, it is impossible to return to their positions under such intensive artillery fire!

That being the case, there is only one possibility - the enemy is not in the position at all, and not behind the position, but in front!

The enemy escaped from the position, dodging the heavy artillery fire without being detected by himself, and the biggest obstacle was the damn sorghum field.

It was precisely because of those green and verdant sorghum stalks swaying in the wind that they blocked the sight of the Imperial Japanese Army and let themselves fall for the tricks of the Chinese people.

Thinking about the key point, Suzuki Chongkang was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction: "Eight grid tooth road!" The sorghum fields of China also dare to oppose the Japanese Imperial Army, and they are all dead! โ€

On August 10, Suzuki Shigeyasu did not launch an attack, but returned directly to Beiping. Because that damn sorghum field has now become a demonic obstacle in his heart. That's called a can't eat and can't sleep on a pillow.

How can we completely eradicate that sorghum field? This one is more troublesome.

Let the Imperial warriors switch to farming and then go out and cut the sorghum? I guess it can't, the defenders will definitely not agree, and they will shoot and fire.

Bombing with shells? Don't even think about it!

The empire has limited resources, and it uses precious shells to bombard damn sorghum fields, once this kind of thing is known by the staff headquarters, it will be more damned than sorghum fields, and it will probably only be able to apologize for seppuku!

After thinking about it all night, Suzuki Shigeyasu finally remembered someone. Who? The brigade commander of the 1st Brigade Regiment, Major General Hoji Sakai!

Because the Sakai Hoji has a noble future and has a tank brigade under his hands.

Although four cars were blown up in the process of attacking Nanyuan, the two nightmares of Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu were eliminated, and they made great contributions, and now they have made up for it.

24 tanks, that's a treasure! Hula rushed up all at once, and the damn sorghum fields were all dead!

Because of this, Suzuki Shigeyasu rushed back to Beiping in a hurry, he wanted to meet with the supreme commander of Kazuki Kiyoji, and then coordinate with him and borrow a few tanks to come over to summon him.

On August 11, at half past ten in the morning, Suzuki Shigeyasu pulled out his bunnies again and began to arrange troops on their toes.

It's still the old routine, let's prepare for five minutes of artillery fire first! Suzuki Shigeyasu is really cunning and cunning, and he doesn't want to use one more shell!

The warriors of the 529th Regiment of the 89th Division of our 13th Army took advantage of the artillery bombardment the day before yesterday.

The ancients have long said: "You can't go back to being proud!" โ€

In other words, just take advantage once, don't always think about taking advantage of one place! You are the biggest fool when you treat others as fools!

Sure enough, when the shelling stopped in five minutes, the regiment commander Luo Fanggui woke up like a dream, and immediately shouted: "Hurry back to the position, the little devil is cheating!" โ€

It's late!

As soon as the warriors got up from the ground, they already felt the earth tremble, followed by a deafening roar, getting closer and closer!

Tank! Warriors who lack anti-tank weapons are most worried about the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks!

Not only the tanks, but also the sorghum fields have already rushed into the sorghum field, less than eighty meters away from the warriors, and the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns have already opened fire in full force! 8 tanks are 8 heavy machine guns, and firing at such a close distance can be imagined!

Coupled with a large group of little devils who rushed up after the tank, such a dense rain of bullets swept over, and poor our warriors, one after another, fell in a pool of blood!

Seeing this scene, the head of the regiment, Luo Fanggui, was furious, and his eyes were oozing blood! What does it mean to be cracked, our head Luo Fanggui, this is it!

"Come with me again and again, blow up these kings, and avenge your brothersโ€”"

The regiment commander roared, and the warriors of the two companies did not hesitate at all, and opened all the grenade covers on their waists with the fastest movements, pulled all the fuses in their hands, and then turned over and rushed towards the enemy group!

Their eyes widened with rage, and their anger seemed to burn an enemy! Just pounce on the tank with your own flesh and blood, pull the grenade on your waist, and die with the enemy's tank!

This earth-shattering battle of ghosts and gods not only changed the color of the mountains and rivers, but also frightened the little devils who rushed up with the tank!

Seeing more than a hundred warriors pinching the fuse swooping towards him, the little devils were so frightened that they turned around and ran!

The warriors of the 529th Regiment of the 89th Division, under the leadership of their own regiment commanders, used their own flesh and blood to blow up 6 tanks and kill more than 300 little devils......

After this battle, the 529th Regiment sent its first telegram to the division headquarters requesting reinforcements. Because on the position of the whole regiment, there are less than 200 warriors who can stand up, and they are no longer able to resist the impact of the brigade level!

A regiment of more than 1,400 people, after three bloody battles, is already less than 200 people!

After that, the warriors who held on to the South Exit Station and the Longhutai Heights formed the 11th Brigade with the independence of Suzuki Shigeyasu's old devils, and repeatedly fought for the Longhutai Heights. The position changed hands several times, and hand-to-hand combat became the norm.

The 529th Regiment of the 89th Division, since the regiment commander Luo Fanggui and below, have not survived, and all of them died heroically! They used their blood and lives to compose a magnificent poem of singing and crying in which the sons and daughters of China rose up to fight!

They are true warriors! They are the real backbone of the nation!

It was they who used their flesh and blood to block the advance of the invaders!

Although Suzuki Shigeyasu, an old devil, was mad, his independent mixed into the 11th Brigade also paid a heavy price here, but he couldn't take a step forward!

Seeing the nearly 1,000 corpses he moved back, Suzuki Shigeyasu was suddenly mourned. Now that the weather is hot, I can only hurry up to collect firewood and burn the corpse, and I can't care about launching an attack anymore.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's old devil is in pain here, and the arrogant Sakagaki Seishiro now seems to be smooth sailing, but in fact, he doesn't know that he has a murderous motive behind him!

After leaving Nankou, the Fifth Division of the Little Devils rushed all the way to the west, and went straight to the Huanglou Courtyard in the southwest direction -- the line of the Mapaoquan Great Wall.

The pioneer who opened the way was the 21st Infantry Brigade, which was later called the "Steel Army" by the Russian army in the Battle of Nomenkan. The brigade commander, Major General Toshiji Miura, is under the command of the 21st Infantry Wing (Wing Commander Hideosa Isoiihara) and the 42nd Infantry Wing (Wing Commander Oba Shihei Osa).

It was followed by the 5th Cavalry Wing (Wing Commander Xiao Di is Fan Dazuo). Its main task was not to raid, but to protect the 5th Field Artillery Wing (Wing Commander Takeda Shin Osa).

When he arrived at Beiliu Village, the brigade commander Toshiji Miura did not stop, leaving the 21st Wing to attack the Loess Ridge position in the northwest, and he led the 42nd Wing and the large army to still advance rapidly.

On August 12, 1937, the main force of the 21st Infantry Brigade arrived at the front line of Gaoyakou and began to complete the tactical assembly and regrouping.

Suzuki Shigeyasu's attack on Nankou suffered a heavy defeat, the 20th Division was unable to open up the situation on the front line of the Yongding River, and the situation in North China was in danger of losing control and becoming eroded at any time. And the 6th Division is still at sea, and it is difficult to save the fire from far water.

What to do? After urgent consultations, the little devil's staff headquarters finally believed:

The Nanjing government army has gone north with all its might, and the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou line is the weakest time. If there is a surprise attack on Shanghai at this time, the Nanjing government army will inevitably send troops back to Shanghai to defend Nanjing.

In this way, by adopting the strategy of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" to mobilize Nanjing's mobile forces, the situation in North China can naturally be alleviated.

On August 13, 1937, the Japanese marines relied on the preset positions in the Hongkou District to shoot at the Chinese defenders from the Tiantongan Station of the Songhu Railway to the Yokohama Road, and attacked along the Baoshan Road under the cover of tanks. The "August 13 Incident" broke out that shocked China and the rest of the world.

On August 14, 1937, the Chinese Kuomintang government issued the Declaration of Self-Defense and War of Resistance. At the same time, the Military Commission reorganized the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Force into the 9th Group Army, with Zhang Zhizhong as the commander-in-chief, with 3 divisions and 1 brigade under its jurisdiction, as well as the Shanghai Police Corps and the Jiangsu Security Corps, and other units, which were responsible for counterattacking the enemy in Hongkou and Yangshupu. The troops in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang border region were reorganized into the 8th Group Army, with Zhang Fakui as the commander-in-chief, guarding the north shore of Hangzhou Bay and sweeping away the enemy in Pudong.

On August 15, 1937, the Japanese government issued a statement stating that "in order to punish the brutality of the Kuomintang army and to awaken the Nanjing government, it is now compelled to take drastic measures."

On the same day, Japan issued an order to organize the Shanghai Dispatch Army, with Admiral Matsui Ishine under the command of the 3rd, 9th, and 11th Divisions (the Otenya Detachment) and other divisions, and the combat mission was to "coordinate with the navy to destroy the enemy near Shanghai and occupy the important area of Shanghai and the area to the north." โ€

At the same time, Jiang issued a national mobilization order, dividing the national war zone into five theaters, with the Shanghai-Hangzhou region as the third theater, Feng Yuxiang as the commander, Gu Zhu as the deputy commander, and appointed Chen Cheng as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the third theater.

It was decided to concentrate the main force in East China, quickly sweep the enemy naval base in Songhu, and prevent the subsequent enemy landing, and the heroic and tragic "Songhu War of Resistance" was in full swing!

At ten o'clock in the morning of August 13, 1937, in order to cooperate with the "August 13 Incident" in Shanghai and achieve the strategic purpose of echoing the north and south and responding to each other, the brigade commander Toshishi Miura could not wait and ordered a brigade to attack the north in the rain to attack the position on the front line of Changyu City; The other brigade was moving at full speed, aiming at the main position on the front line of the town's border city.

The main force defending Changyu City, the front line of Zhenbian City, was the 4th Division of Tang Enbo's 13th Army, and the division commander was Chen Daqing.

Because Chen Daqing made a huge mistake here, it is also the key to the final failure of the "Nankou Campaign"!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
