War of Resistance

Chapter 1424 Fierce Battle on Changle Street?
Without any surprises, the Japanese army lost nearly one-third of its troops when they charged, and after approaching, they fought with the newly replenished national army. The reinforcements of the Japanese army suffered casualties.

After this battle, Lieutenant General Tanaka Jingyi also began to understand: the enemy troops in Changle Town are definitely the elite of the elite. If they continue to fight with them, the troops may suffer huge casualties.

According to the latest situation, General Tanaka Shizuichi, head of the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, called the chief of staff and the brigade heads of the two brigades for a very brief meeting.

"Masters, the current situation seems to be a bit bad..." Tanaka Jingyi had a gloomy old face, and these words seemed to have set a tone.

"Our division's logistics and forward troops were entangled by the four divisions of the No.15 Group Army of the Chinese Army, and it was difficult to advance. I originally hoped to open a breakthrough in Changle Town, but I believe you all know what happened today. Right? The enemy unit we are facing is the guard unit of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Army. The predecessor of this unit is the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone of the Chinese Army. Difficult. Prepare, I want to hear your opinions." Tanaka Jingyi said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to your Excellency, division commander, in my opinion, you should stick to the headquarters position and stop advancing rashly." Major General Onitsuka Yoshikawa, commander of the No. 20 Sixth Brigade of the Infantry, said seriously.

"Onitsuka Brigade Commander, please express your opinion." Chief of Staff Yoshida said, if there is anything, he must be the only one to speak.

"That's right. What we can see on all sides is a part of the Second Army of the Chinese Army and the entire Seventh Army of the No.30. Now in front of us, there is a security force from the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Army. The combat effectiveness of this force is You all know this already. We are currently unable to know exactly how many people have come to this unit. According to past data, the number of combat troops in this unit has exceeded [-]. If other units are included, the total strength must be tens of thousands. And they All types of arms are basically complete, and they are completely replicas of German weapon masters during the Shanghai battle. If we fight head-on with such troops, I am afraid that our own casualties will also be huge." Major General Onizuka Yoshikawa said in a deep voice, his thin face was full of serious.

"My subordinate also agrees with the suggestion of the head of the Onitsuka brigade. We should focus on holding our ground, and on this basis, send a small group of elite troops to break through the front line. If not, the pressure on the front line troops may be extremely great. In our opinion It must be extremely difficult for the troops of the No.15 Army of the Chinese Army to break through our positions. Our troops have now lost nearly a quarter of their strength. If we continue to move forward, we may have to cut another five One-tenth." Major General Yoshino Oki, the brigade commander of the [-]rd Infantry Brigade, said seriously.

"Then what does Chief of Staff Yoshida mean?" Tanaka Shizuichi turned his gaze to Chief of Staff Yoshida who was thinking quietly.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Division Chief, I agree with the opinions of the Onitsuka Brigade Commander and Yoshino Brigade Commander. We should draw a capable unit from each unit to seek a breakthrough, and the rest of the troops should focus on stabilizing the existing front. .” Chief of Staff Yoshida is very good at summarizing, and quite agrees with the opinions put forward by the two brigade heads.

"Well... that's the only way to go." Tanaka Jingyizhong's hazy face finally dissipated a little.

"Order each wing to deploy 500 people to form an assault force and wait for command!" Tanaka Jingyi said in a deep voice.

"Hay!!" The three officers who could almost be called the decision-makers of the No.13 Division lowered their heads and echoed.

"Let's start the second topic! Where do you guys think our assault force should be used?" Tanaka Jingyi narrowed his eyes slightly. He is ready to launch a large-scale surprise attack on the opposite enemy at any time. Yes, it's just that I haven't found a good direction now.

That's right, I just didn't find a good direction!

For Tanaka Shizuichi, although he is in the highest position of the No.13 Division, it is often difficult to achieve a comprehensive insight into what is happening on the front line, and only in this way can we brainstorm , insight into the enemy's weak points.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to our understanding, although the Chinese Army has mobilized a large number of troops to chase and intercept us, in fact there are huge loopholes in their cooperation. My personal opinion is to take advantage of the gap between the cooperation of the Chinese army to directly carry out joint attacks against the Chinese army, including the attack on the enemy in front of you." The speaker was the head of the Yoshino Oki Brigade, and he was completely insidious and vicious in terms of combat. Collected in one body, you are not afraid of death in a war, and you are not worth your life if you count people!

"The head of the Yoshino Brigade means to launch a surprise attack on the enemy in front of Changle Street?" Tanaka Jingyi was keenly aware of this.

"Yes, your Excellency, division commander. I believe that this part of the Chinese army is well-equipped and powerful. If we launch a surprise attack, we can bypass Changle Street and launch a fierce attack on the enemy's rear. I will attack the troops in front of them." You can capture Changle Street, and then use Changle Street as a base to seek to break through the enemy's troops in front of you!" Yoshino Oki said in a deep voice.

"What does the head of the Onitsuka brigade mean?" Jing Jingyi narrowed his eyes, obviously ready for a fierce battle.

"My subordinates agree with the meaning of the head of the Yoshino Brigade. The guard unit of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Army is a division capable of fighting well. If we cannot annihilate or severely injure it, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future." Onizuka Yoshikawa is also very serious. Said.

"Yoxi, if this is the case, then prepare according to this! All preparations must be completed before twelve midnight, and the military operation will start at four o'clock in the morning!" Tanaka Jingyi directly made a decision. For such a good suggestion, He wouldn't let it go - it was winning advice, after all, and he didn't mean to think about winning until the enemy had crippled his troops.

"Hay!!" The three senior officers of the No.13 Division stood up at the same time and bowed their heads.

A new storm is about to blow in Changle Town!
This will be a fierce battle, a contest between the elite troops of the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army and the guards of the Ninth Theater!

……

Unlike the Japanese army's full preparation for battle, the Ninth War Zone Guard Command was in harmony, because they had just survived a difficult time, and they finally held Changle Street!
