War of Resistance

Chapter 135 Gunshots in the Middle of the Night (Part [-])

The banks of the Suzhou River were quiet, and under the leadership of the regiment captain Mizusaburo Nobuda, more than 900 Japanese troops quietly established shooting positions on the north bank of the Suzhou River.

Although the terrain on the north bank is lower than that on the south bank, it is still necessary to prepare before the attack.

Covered by the darkness of night, Nobuda Mizusaburo commanded troops to occupy a relatively higher plateau on the north bank, where they set up machine gun shooting points.

The rustling movement on the opposite bank naturally failed to hide the officers and soldiers of the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment on the south bank. If it was normal, they would have shot and killed them. How could you let you set up a position?But tonight the head of the regiment issued an order not to shoot at will, waiting for the order.

As for the adventurous Hu Jiaji, he will naturally not stay at the regiment headquarters at this moment. He is also in the forward position of the Second Battalion. The success of this attack is directly related to whether his and Fang Zhengguo's heads can still be hung on his neck intact. superior.

"Notify the first battalion commander, the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander, ready to fight at any time!" Hu Jiaji said to the correspondent beside him.

"Yes, group seat." The correspondent responded softly.

……

Standing in a relatively safe corner on the north bank, Nobuda Mizusaburo stared at the silence on the south bank with his face sinking like water and his eyes as sharp as knives.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I feel that there is something wrong with Nan'an. Our movement is not big, but there is no movement at all. What are these Chinese people trying to do?" A lieutenant staff officer stood next to Nobuda Mizusaburo gently Said lightly.

"Then just wait. It's strange that the Chinese army voluntarily gave up the north bank of the Suzhou River. After all, since the imperial army landed in Shanghai, the resistance they have encountered has always been very fierce." Nobuda Mizusaburo said coldly, Those sharp eyes were always bright, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Could it be that they are preparing to attack us?" The staff officer raised a hypothesis.

Nobuda Mizusaburo shook his head resolutely, and said: "Impossible, if they were going to attack us, they should have fired a long time ago, or they should not give up the position on the north bank. After all, fighting in a blocking position is the most direct way to kill our imperial army." If I were the commander of China, I wouldn’t make such a stupid decision.”

In Nobuda Mizusaburo's view, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is far more cost-effective to not give up the north bank and attack before their Takata United team occupies the north bank. Their enemies will never be stupid enough to attack at night. It's just that they want to stick to the south bank, which has a comparative advantage.

"The captain of the regiment is wise." The staff patted a very resounding flattery.

Regarding the flattery of his subordinates, Nobuda Mizusaburo took it calmly. He waved his hand and said: "Don't look at it, it is enough to leave a squadron on the front line tonight. As long as you guard the machine gun shooting point, the Chinese army will not be able to get through. Take a good rest." Let’s do it, wait until tomorrow’s replenishment comes, and then build miraculous achievements.”

"Hayi, the captain of the regiment is lucky for a long time!" This staff officer looked like a dog leg who was particularly good at dealing with things, and his flattery was getting louder and louder...

……

Zhang Tianhai, who had a good night's sleep, had already taken a break from his busy schedule to take a shower, and he was relaxed and full of energy.

"Old Sun, I heard that the higher-ups may transfer you to the [-]th Regiment. You will fight with me in this battle. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a big loss?" Leaning against the earthen wall of the trench, Zhang Tianhai talked boredly with a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth.

"Let's talk about this issue tomorrow. If I can come back alive, it will not be a loss. Anti-Japanese, isn't it the bricks of the revolution, where do I need to move it? Before I was transferred to the [-]th regiment, I was still [-]th The battalion deputy of the first battalion. Besides, tonight's battle was fought behind the backs of the commanders of the division headquarters. If I don't come, if the battle goes wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to hang your dog's head on your head Right?" Sun Hong also hurt Zhang Tianhai.

"Bah, yours is the dog's head." Zhang Tianhai spat back.

In fact, these two seem to hurt each other, but everyone knows in their hearts the cruelty of this war. The comrades and old classmates who have fought side by side for many years may sacrifice at any time. Their wish is that each other can survive. That's all.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, the regiment ordered you to be ready to fight at any time!" The person who came was Hu Jiaji's correspondent, and both Zhang Tianhai and Sun Hong recognized this person.

"Okay, we got it." Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then gave the order to prepare for battle.

The war is about to start!
At twelve o'clock at night, according to the usual schedule, it was the time when both parties had just entered the state of rest and sleep. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and occasionally a dark cloud passed by to block its light.

"Suzuki-kun, are you sleepy?" Perhaps because he was afraid that the machine gunner would fall asleep, the sub-machine gunner took the initiative to chat with the main gunner.

"Takagi-kun, what's wrong with you tonight? I told you to take a rest and take a rest. It's okay for us to sleep for an hour. Now that the moonlight is so bright, if the Chinese army moves, it will definitely not be able to escape our eyes. ’” Machine Gunner Suzuki said.

Seeing that Suzuki said so resolutely, Takagi couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "That's fine, please wake me up when the time comes, Suzuki-kun. Thank you, senior."

When a huge cloud drifted across the moon, gunshots rang out, and at the same time the charge of the national army rang!

"Takagi-kun! Takagi-kun! Get up, the Chinese army is attacking!" Shouting to Takagi next to him, Suzuki pulled the trigger of the machine gun, and there was a loud gunshot for a while, but what Suzuki and others did not expect was that their Suddenly the machine gun emplacement exploded.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The sound of explosions exploded at various machine gun erection points of the Japanese army, and all the flame-spitting machine gun positions suddenly went silent, leaving only the sound of bugles on the south bank.

The 36th Division Division.

Song Xilian, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened, to be precise, by the sound of gunshots and explosions on the battlefield.

"What's the situation? The Japanese army attacked?" Song Xilian sat up from the hammock with a pair of panda eyes and asked the staff officer on duty next to him.

The staff officer on duty saw that the army commander had gotten up and asked, he quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the military seat, the guns of the battle came from the position of the [-]th regiment. It may be a surprise attack by the Japanese army. I just fought on [-]st." The Sixth Regiment Headquarters said that Head Hu was not at the regiment headquarters."

"Not at regiment headquarters?" Upon hearing this news, Song Xilian slightly frowned, and then ordered: "Call the [-]th brigade headquarters immediately and ask about the specific situation."

"Yes, military seat." The staff officer on duty responded.

As soon as he ordered the staff on duty, Song Xilian walked out of the division headquarters. He wanted to judge whether the battle was fierce by listening to the gunshots.
