Chapter 325 The Man Who Attracts Tang Dao
The Sixth Division did not have the opportunity to fish up the soldiers who died in the mud one by one for statistics.

After being beaten into a pile of rotten meat by bullets and then soaked in water, not to mention the taste, just the shape of the puff sac can make people sick to death.

The Japanese commanders 'humanized' this time, allowing these unlucky compatriots to become fertile river mud in the moat of Songjiang City.

It is said that ten years later, the mud piled up from the Songjiang moat will yield a bumper harvest.

The Sixth Division finally recorded in the battle report based on the last number of survivors that 11 people were missing in the battle to conquer Songjiang launched at 7 pm on November 306.

That also means that, just in the first wave, the number of Japanese troops killed in the moat was as high as one and a half infantry squadrons. Two infantry squadrons were gone.

As soon as Lieutenant General Hisao Tani showed his sword out of its sheath, it was smashed by the Chinese head-on. It is strange that His Excellency Tani Hisao, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked pretty.

Even Mori Tanabe dared not take his eyes off the high-powered binoculars for a moment, not because the scorching battlefield attracted him so much, but because he was afraid of seeing His Excellency Lieutenant General Tani Hisao's definitely green face.

How should he comfort him?

Said, Your Excellency has an army of more than [-], what's the point of dying these trash snacks?

Gu Hisao actually maintained this posture, not moving for a long time.

Perhaps, not only embarrassment and anger, but also the buzzing in the head, what about the bright sword that was agreed?
The two Japanese army generals could only press the high-powered binoculars to their eye sockets tacitly, and stopped communicating until the entire battlefield ended.

As for the Shenwu Xidalong who was placed in the high hopes by Gushouo but led his subordinates into the quagmire and became the living target of the Chinese, Gushouo had no chance to feed him medicine, because the major Shenwu Xiadarong became the Sixth Division under Songjiang Castle The first major commander who was killed in battle, and the third of the 11th Army of the Tenth Army on November [-]th.

After all, our Kunizaki detachment is not the worst group, Major General Kunizaki who received the battle report from Dongcheng District sighed secretly.

. . . . . . .

However, Hisao Tani on the battlefield has made up his mind to attack the city, how can he stop the attack because of the frustration of hundreds of casualties?

Moreover, based on the strength of the Chinese soldiers' counterattacks on the city wall, Hisao Tani, who was constantly listening to reports from the front, judged that the extended artillery bombardment of the artillery regiment had played a role. Otherwise, the Chinese would never have invested less than two infantry companies on such a long line of defense. of troops.

The east is not bright and the west is bright, so the artillery may gain more, so they ordered the artillery wing to continue shelling, and even judged the situation. According to the characteristics of the fortifications inside the city wall, they seconded two 120mm cannons to the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade.

To be honest, when Gu Hisao ordered to continue to blockade the front line with artillery fire and continuously increase troops, to cover the engineers who continued to throw sandbags in an attempt to build a road in the moat sufficient for infantry to pass, Tang Dao, who arrived in the west city from the east city to watch the battle, couldn't help it. He frowned.

Hisao Tani's ability to become the commander of the so-called "strongest division on the surface" is really not based on bragging. His move of blocking with artillery fire really hit the weakness of the defenders.

If Tang Dao is given one month, he will definitely learn the tricks of the Chinese soldiers of the Five Sacred Mountains against the cowboys of the United States, hollow out the entire city underground, and build underground tunnels, let alone the Tenth Army only has one heavy artillery brigade, and then give it to them Two, Songjiang can also make [-] Japanese troops smashed and bleeding.

It's a pity that the Japanese army is not so tolerant, and they will fight after you have built the fortifications.

Using nearly 40,000 people in one day and one night to scramble more than ten kilometers of trenches in the city to provide the soldiers with the most basic protection is the limit of the Songjiang defenders.

Destroyed part of the trenches with heavy artillery, and then blocked the area with small-caliber artillery. The 643rd regiment had to brave artillery fire to send troops to the front line. The six infantry companies could really reach the front line. Even the commander in the rear did not know. How many.

Because the telephone lines used to connect to the front line have all been blown up, and even the artillery observation posts have to use semaphore to transmit coordinate information to the rear. For this reason, the mortar battalion of the 643 regiment has lost four artillerymen Observation post.

And hearing the fierce gunshots not far away, even if he didn't see it, Tang Dao knew that the Japanese army was still attacking crazily.

In the binoculars, except for the gunpowder smoke and the dilapidated city wall, the situation on the battlefield could not be seen at all.

As for Tang Dao, who arrived in Dongcheng District through the trenches, he did not frown in a daze when he came here. There was no one else who attracted him to come here except the famous butcher Lieutenant General who might be right opposite him.

The colonel of the 643 regiment over there is already red-eyed, and he is regrouping his troops. It seems that he is going to continue to invest in the infantry company and venture into the barrage area.

Tang Dao sighed slightly in his heart. This colonel is brave, but he has lost a little calculation. His infantry regiment has a total of more than 2000 people, and more than 1000 people have been filled in. The casualties and the frontline battle situation are not yet known. Throwing the old books in like this, maybe it won't take long before another infantry regiment that needs to serve as a reserve for them will go to the battlefield.

However, this was the first day of the Battle of Songjiang, and the loss was so great. How long would it last if it continued like this?

The position is important, as is the protection of the living force.

The most important thing to do now is not to compete with the Japanese artillery with blood and courage, but to send officers of sufficient rank to observe the situation on the battlefield to give suggestions to the rear commanders, and to make new tactical adjustments according to the actual battle situation.

However, Tang Dao didn't rush to persuade him.

As a mid-to-high-ranking military officer, the northeastern man who is not very familiar with Tang Dao naturally has his own pride, otherwise he would not be on the front line and constantly projecting troops to the front line of death. It's an extremely difficult decision to make.

Even, it was harder than deciding to rush into that barrage of death by himself.

Tang Dao was even sure that the colonel with a dark face and a completely hoarse voice after unbuttoning the discipline button should also rush to the front line with his infantry company in the near future.

After thinking for a moment, he called his messenger Xia Dayu, took out a pen and paper from his bag, wrote a short message and put it in his bag, and then carefully instructed him a few words.

"Battalion Commander, go and come back quickly, or I won't be able to explain to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhuang and the others." Xia Dayu's eyes showed worry, but he rarely had the fragile mind of a young man, and tried his best to prevent Tang Dao from going to such a dangerous situation.

Yes, Tang Dao decided to go to the front line of the city wall, not only to observe the battle situation, but also for the East City battlefield that he wanted to observe.

But the young man who had gone through a life-and-death farewell has quietly grown up, and is no longer as fragile as he was half a day ago.

Of course, it is also possible that the young man has not developed the feeling of dependence on Tang Dao as he does to the crow, even if Tang Dao stroked his bald head in front of the crow's spirit and said to him: "Follow me, you will become the same as your Uncle Crow." man."

"Don't worry, I'll be back!" Tang Dao patted his little messenger on the shoulder and smiled.

The self-confidence of being the strongest individual soldier in China infected Xia Dayu, and the young man nodded fiercely: "Battle Commander, I will wait for you here, and I will not go anywhere."

Tang Dao still carried the Mosingana rifle he had obtained from General Wu, turned around and left.

The soldiers of the 643 regiment were still hiding in the trenches and their scalps were numb looking at the constant explosion of barrage dozens of meters away. Tang Dao with a rifle on his back walked past them, and then jumped out of the trenches.

Who is that?What do you want?
The soldiers were stunned, watching the figure like a preying cheetah, starting at high speed, and still accelerating, breaking into the barrage
The gunpowder smoke completely covered his figure, and no one knew whether he could still run wildly in the barrage like before.

All those who witnessed all this knew that he rushed to death at an unimaginable speed.

"That's our battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao, the battalion commander of the garrison!" The young man answered with great pride, facing the surprised stares of a group of big men.
