Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 430 What happened?
"Where's the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 55th Division? Where are they?" Ushidoman asked almost dully.

"They should be being attacked by the Chinese!" The Japanese Army Lieutenant replied painfully.

As if to prove the wit of the Japanese army lieutenant, a red light flashed in the distant sky, which should be the color of a shell exploding.

"Over the 18th Division, did the Chinese also take action?" Mitsuru Ushishima asked again.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Lieutenant General Ushishima Sadao of the 18th Division will call. The Chinese on the opposite side rushed out of the position like crazy. The 18th Division is organizing a counterattack to drive those crazy Chinese back. They can't Pull out troops that can assist the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade." The Japanese Army Lieutenant Commander completely shattered Ushijima's last hope.

Painful, not because he was the last imperial army in the area that could come to the aid of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Instead, based on the current battle situation, this absolutely intelligent Japanese army major general deduced that he was deceived by the Chinese.

The Chinese were not fleeing in despair, they actually marched with a goal. The six-day hide-and-seek escape was just to make him lose his vigilance, and the continuous surprise attacks with sharp individual soldiers were just to make him angry and make him make mistakes.

Thus, the Chinese succeeded.Successfully transferred away from the infantry wing of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, that was their purpose. Only in this way can they attack the Heavy Artillery Brigade.

If the heavy artillery brigade is destroyed, he, the instigator who promised conditions to Ushishima Sadao and asked for assistance, will be the first responsible person, although Ushishima Sadao cannot escape either.

It is almost unnecessary to read the original text sent by Ushishima Sadao. Ushishima Man also knows that the person who is more than ten kilometers away must hate him to death, and his tone will definitely not be as light as what his chief of staff said.

However, he still has a chance to make amends.

The camp of the 36th Infantry Brigade is only 12 kilometers away from the Heavy Artillery Brigade in a straight line. As long as you move forward lightly and at full speed, you may be able to reach the periphery in an hour.

The seven 8000 people of the Heavy Artillery Brigade are not pigs. Even if they are all pigs, the Chinese cannot kill them all within an hour, and the Chinese may not be able to win the final victory.

The fate of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, or the fate of his Udoman, is not entirely in the hands of the Chinese, but in the maneuvering speed of his 36th Infantry Brigade.

The Japanese infantrymen of the 36th Infantry Brigade probably never dreamed that there would be a day when how fast they ran could determine the official hat of their immediate boss.

But for now, that's it.

"Order the 45th and 47th Infantry Regiment, the whole army is lightly armed, and assemble towards the location of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade as quickly as possible. I will personally award medals to the commander of the troops who arrive at the battlefield first, no matter how they perform on the battlefield. The brigade The generals will arrive later with the artillery brigade and other troops." Ushijima calmed down the pain in his heart, and quickly ordered.And very rarely bowed to the Japanese army lieutenant: "Seto-kun, please."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is serious." The Japanese Army Lieutenant Assistant saw the appearance of the Brigade Commander, who usually had everything under control, and knew that he was in pain, and sighed slightly in his heart, but he quickly bowed in return. "Our brigade must work hard to wipe out this daring Chinese."

Nearly 12 kilometers away, if you still carry all the luggage and heavy firearms to march, especially in the dark, no matter how hard you run, it will take more than two hours.

Ushijima ordered the two infantry regiments under his command to be lightly armed, which is definitely the most correct choice according to common sense.

But after the First World War, the reason why Ushidoman was criticized by many military experts was precisely this military order.

Because in front of the 36th Infantry Brigade, there is not a smooth road, but a blocking line of defense built by more than a thousand Chinese troops in three hours. It is really difficult for light infantry alone.

As a result, in order to rescue the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade from breaking through the Chinese defense line, the 36th Infantry Brigade organized three consecutive waves of "Long Live" charges at the infantry brigade level within half an hour, but all were repelled.

The courage of the "strongest division on the surface" is beyond doubt, but they lacked heavy weapons and suffered heavy losses within 40 minutes of the battle, even surpassing the next battle of Songjiang Castle.

Many historians of the Japanese military in the island believe that, as a major general commander with rich combat command experience, Ushijima Man should have guessed that the Chinese would put down the blocking force, and he should not make such a low-level mistake.

Perhaps only the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, who was bowed by his brigade commander, understood the true meaning of that bow after the war.

Ushishima Man did not make a low-level mistake at all. He had long thought that the Chinese would have blocking troops, but he had no other choice. If the infantry of the 36th Infantry Brigade still chose to march with various artillery, they might be able to use it extremely The blocking enemy was defeated at a small price, but on the side of the heavy artillery brigade, it is estimated that the day lily is cold.

For the sake of his official position, he had to make a gesture of doing his best to rescue the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, even if the 36th Infantry Brigade suffered heavy losses as a result.

Once he can break through the blockade, he still has a chance to make up for the mistakes he made.

Of course, if the 36th Brigade suffered heavy losses and still failed to save the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the heavy battle losses had nothing to do with him.

The Chinese commander on the opposite side obviously expected that Ushidoman would make such a choice, so he chose to block the force with more than a thousand infantry, which is already the strongest force he can reserve from the attack sequence up.

This is the mutual scheme and cruelty on the battlefield.

The lives of soldiers can only be the cheapest consumables on this chessboard where the mortal son has already fallen, including him who personally served as the supreme commander of the former army of the 36th Infantry Brigade.

The Japanese Army Lieutenant Sergeant, who had figured it all out, was in a cold sweat, and was extremely grateful that he survived the brutal blocking battle.

It was really an extremely cruel battle, even worse than that in Songjiang City.

But the battle where the first shot was fired was naturally still on the battlefield where the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was located.

After solving the Japanese patrol, accompanied by the soft chirping of autumn insects, more than 80 infantrymen bent down and trotted all the way from a distance to join Tang Dao and others.

After continuous fighting, the Four Elements Battalion once again reduced its personnel by 16 people, 11 people were sacrificed, and [-] people were slightly or seriously injured. All the wounded with limited mobility were asked to stand by in the rear. was allowed to return to the team.

The Four Lines Battalion, which has only 80 people, will act as the forward of the whole army this time.

As a forward, the task of the Four Elements Battalion was to break through the Japanese infantry defense position 300 meters in front of the heavy artillery position at the fastest speed.

But that is by no means an easy task.

Although an entire infantry regiment has been transferred, a heavy artillery brigade must have its own infantry squadron. Perhaps the number will never be too many. However, according to previous reconnaissance, the Japanese commander is very cautious, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not use artillery to temporarily Charge into the infantry to replenish the infantry strength of the defensive positions.

If you want to break into the Japanese defensive positions in a very short time and open the breakthrough for the follow-up army, you must be the strongest army in the advance regiment.

The Sixing Battalion, which used to block the attack of an infantry regiment of the Japanese army in the First Battle of the Four Lines, said that they are the strongest army in the current area. There are objections.

Especially their battalion commander, Tang Dao!

The deputy battalion commander is called Lei Xiong!
The company commander is called Leng Feng!

The three commanders are all fully armed at the moment and are at the forefront of the attack formation.

All orders are issued before entering the battlefield, and the commander is not as important as imagined.

Now they are commanders and even soldiers. They will lead their brothers to pry open the weak shell of the Japanese 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, and then kill all the invaders in it.

"Daler?" A Japanese sentinel in the trench might have sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't be sure. After asking softly, the searchlight column behind the trench moved quickly.

On the grass, what caught the eyes of the Japanese soldiers were dozens of dark blues prostrate on the ground.

The "enemy" Japanese sentinel's heart-rending shouts were still in his throat, and he was shot and fell into the trench.

"Bang!" Yang Xiaoshan killed the Japanese sentinel with one shot, and Niu Er over there also shot decisively to extinguish the Japanese army's bright searchlights.

"Attack!" Accompanied by the roar of Tang Dao who had crawled to the Japanese trench more than 30 meters away.

The two infantry platoons of the Four Lines Battalion in the rear, led by Leng Feng and Li Jiujin, threw grenades into the Japanese trenches in two rounds.

Behind their wings obliquely, Cheng Tieshou also led two fire support squads, set up two MG34 machine guns and four machine guns, and aimed firmly behind the Japanese trenches that were filled with smoke.
