War of Resistance

Chapter 133 Gambling
The night was getting dark, and the night covered the entire sky.

While Zhang Tianhai was gnawing on a hard nest, Nobuda Mizusaburo, the commander of the 58th Regiment of the Japanese Army, received an order from Lieutenant General Ogizhou Libing, the head of the division: all muster.

Like other regiments, the 58th regiment is also composed of officers and soldiers from the same place. They come from Takata Prefecture, a county that can be said to be very close to Tokyo geographically.

Shinda Mizusaburo is no exception. He is also an officer from Takata, but he is from a famous family in Takata County—the Shinda family. He is the backbone of the new generation of the family. He is only 32 years old. Not bad.

"All assembly!!!"

With the sharp whistle and the shouts of officers at all levels, even though the Gaotian United has only one-third of the people left, it still cannot change the fact that the Gaotian United is orderly and the battle is very strong After all, they are also part of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. You must know that the No.[-] Division is also a standing division with very fierce combat effectiveness!
Regarding the order to attack the north bank of the Suzhou River, Nobuda Mizusaburo did not think there was any problem. There were more than 100 people. In addition to the 200 people assigned to protect the artillery positions, it is impossible for more than 900 people to attack the north bank of the Suzhou River. After all, Before this, the people of the Imperial High School had already done a detailed understanding of the terrain around here.

"Warriors, it's time to make contributions! Let's go!"

Following the order of Nobuda Mizusaburo, the remnants of the 58th Regiment of the Japanese Army marched onto the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai returned to the camp and fell asleep. He was recuperating his physical strength, and he had a big move tonight. Without sufficient physical strength, he couldn't do anything.

The fall of night brought a brief pause to the battlefield that had been fighting fiercely for a day, and it was unclear whether this was the calm before the storm or the rest before the next day's war.

Of course, the cessation of the battle refers to the two sides in the front-line combat. The logistics force has not stopped. In addition to the logistics force, there is also the artillery force of the Japanese army, especially the artillery wing of the No.13 Division!
Cannon, as the weapon with the greatest lethal power in this war, the erection of artillery positions is particularly important. The No.13 Division Artillery Wing deployed artillery positions in Xiaoji in advance. Anyone with a discerning eye can think of the next Japanese army with their buttocks. target of attack.

As for the defense of the big field, Dizhou Libing has already prepared, and now all he has to do is to drive in the "pincer" of the attack momentum, hit it hard, and hold it firmly!

Although it has the absolute advantage of sea, land and air artillery fire, these advantages are equivalent to nothing at night, and this place is too close to the forward position, so the captain of the regiment, Yasuo Shinoda, seemed to be extra cautious. Relying on the light of the flashlight, he was moving, loading and unloading field guns.

Thirty-six 36mm caliber field guns were lined up one by one. This was all the belongings of the Artillery Wing of the No.75 Division. Looking at the more than two hundred soldiers standing guard a few hundred meters away, Yasuo Shinoda's eyelids twitched a little. There is a sense of foreboding.

"Maybe it's because your Excellency, Division Chief, usually sends more troops to protect our artillery unit, that's why only so few people are sent here. Besides, the artillery of the empire is not just paper, right?" Shinoda Yao could only So comforting myself, there is no way, if the division headquarters can still send troops, it is absolutely impossible to send a field artillery regiment to such a dangerous place, and there is not much protection troops, only a squadron of troops is sent over .

Indeed, Yasuo Nobuda's worries are not completely unreasonable. The artillery is usually placed in a relatively safe area. Although the time spent is only one night, he is still worried.

"Yamamoto-kun, order the troops to strengthen patrols!" Since the will of the superior cannot be changed, it can only be strengthened, and Nobuda Yao can only do so.

……

Just when Shinoda Yao gave the order, an unexpected person appeared in the 69th Army headquarters.

Ruan Zhaochang, the commander of the 69th Army, was sitting on a chair in the temporary headquarters, two shining general stars were hanging on his collar badge. Seeing that this young Central Army officer is about 1.7 meters tall, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging on his handsome and gentle face looks even more gentle.

This is a Confucian general!This is Ruan Zhaochang's evaluation of the young man in front of him.

Ruan Zhaochang is 47 years old this year. As an old Beiyang, he has experienced many things. He should not have met such a small lieutenant colonel in person, but the opposite is the central government. The lieutenant colonel of the No. 30 Sixth Division, the 36th Division is the direct descendant of the direct line, so I have to give it here.

"Hello, sir. My humble position is Fang Ren, Chief of Staff of the 36th Regiment of the [-]th Division. I have met Commander Ruan." Fang Ren gave a military salute, which was very formal. The military regulations of the Central Army are very strict, and there are no modern TVs They are so arrogant, even if there are, they are just some high-ranking military officers.

"Dare to ask, but Commander Song of your army sent you here?" Ruan Zhaochang didn't hesitate, and got straight to the point.

Fang Ren didn't affirm it, but he didn't deny it either. He just said flatly, "I'm here to tell Chief Ruan that tonight is the best time to take back the big field."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Looking at Fang Ren's attitude, Ruan Zhaochang was a little elusive about his cards.

"Our army will launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army tonight. If Commander Ruan is interested, we can fight him together." Fang Ren's mouth was slightly raised, as if full of confidence.

Hearing this, Ruan Zhaochang's sturdy body leaned forward slightly, put his elbows on the table, and said with great interest: "Your commander Song is so loud? As far as I know, your army is only one of your 36 divisions. Moreover, there is another regiment in the north of Xinjing, and you only have the strength of two or three regiments, so you dare to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army?"

Fang Ren smiled contemptuously and said: "Not necessarily, my 36th Division defended Jiangwan for two months, and it only lasted for two months, and it was able to defend Jiangwan for two months. Yes. If Chief Ruan wants to take a gamble with us, we welcome it; if Chief Ruan wants the brothers of the 69th Army to be permanently nailed to the pillar of shame for their ineffectiveness in the resistance against Japan, then there is nothing to say about that humble post. Farewell.”

After finishing speaking, Fang Ren turned around and left, leaving the 69th Army headquarters immediately.

Ruan Zhaochang's face was cloudy, and he finally stopped Fang Ren: "Wait... I'll bet with you and leave the combat mission to us!"

But Ruan Zhaochang didn't see the smile on the corner of Fang Ren's mouth - this is the end of the matter, probably half of the success.
