Chapter 41: Wu Cheng's fierce soldiers (3)
.It seems that Lieutenant General Gangmura is always paying attention to the war in the direction of Wucheng. Not long after Major General Sanada's telegram for help was sent out, the reply from the 11th Army came. Lieutenant General Gangmura was very pleased to send reinforcements and generously gave Sanada two troops. Although these troops would not arrive in Duchang in one day before they could be loaded. However, in Major General Sanada's prediction, the reinforcements arrived at this speed and still had time to rescue the defenders of Wucheng. The last line of the telegram was not in line with Major General Sanada's wishes. The 11th Army of the Japanese Army issued a clear order, and the Sanada Detachment temporarily returned to the command of the 101th Division. In other words, it was from the moment the order was received.
Under the command of the Saito Division Commander, Major General Ta was going to rescue the Wucheng defenders who had "fallen into the water". Although he was extremely reluctant, he could not disobey the order. In addition, Saito was no longer capable, and Sanada had to endure it. At the same time, Lieutenant General Saito received the same order. The lieutenant general, who was so happy that he was foolish, immediately pointed at the Sanada detachment without delay. In the first order he sent to Major General Sanada, Lieutenant General Saito, who had power in hand, made no polite decisions for Sanada, that Sanada's troops arrived at Wu Chengjin within a deadline of ten o'clock on the 17th. Lieutenant General Saito, who was trapped in the lonely city and was in danger, the reinforcements came sooner the better.
After receiving this command that made people scratch their heads, Sanada, who was a man, slandered Saito, a coward and the Tokyo Niuzi troops he led, and had to immediately deploy the next combat operation.
At this moment, the New 100th Division, which had just forced the Japanese army to retreat, was also hurrying to replenish the front line. Cheng Jiaji's new recruits were still above 1,000, although they could not completely compensate for the losses suffered in a series of battles in the front line, and the number of people was still some supplements. However, these recruits were essentially "semi-finished products" and their combat effectiveness was pitifully low. If Cheng Jiaji said he was unwilling to say anything, he would push these recruits into a battlefield where they were too cruel to confront the Japanese army head-on. But at this moment, the war was so tense that they had to use a certain amount of force, so they could only fight instead of training at the cost of their lives.
"Brother Peimin. How is the battle there?" In fact, Cheng Jiaji's original intention was to ask if Commander Huang had any reserves. He just heard the sound of gunfire from the west, north and south sides of Wucheng, and he was coming from Lieutenant General Huang again. The only howitzer battalion with a caliber exceeding 120 mm in the army, and it was inevitable that he could not say this when he said it.
"The battle progress is not big, and there are many casualties, but we have many soldiers. Just replace it like this. The Japanese in Wucheng may collapse in one day and a half. Haoran, I still have three regiments on my hands. I have not entered the battle. I will give you the regiment of the 72nd Division first. The army teaching team can also be under your command for the time being." Lieutenant General Huang is, and he will not be able to hear that Cheng Jiaji is the drunkard.
The two troops that General Huang wants to temporarily transfer to Cheng Jiaji are not weak brigades. It would be fine if they belong to the New 72nd Division in the Central Army system. This army's teaching team is a treasure that General Huang has worked hard to make during his rest in Mianyang. There are only more than 500 people in this teaching team. Except for the instructor, they all pulled out the squad leader from the three divisions in the New 18th Army. They agreed that they would return to the original troops to be the platoon leader in the three months of training. They can be said to be a strong combat force.
While Cheng Jiaji was grateful, he did not swear as much as others. He only said thank you, then hung up the phone and went to the front line to inspect. With the friendship he and Lt. Huang had been sophisticated on the battlefield for more than a year, they no longer needed to be so artificial.
Regardless of the actual command ability, just speaking of the efficiency of the organization of offensive, Major General Sanada's troops were indeed qualified to look down on the Tokyo soldiers of the 101th Division commanded by Saito and Saito. At around 3:00 pm on the 17th, less than three hours after the last attack was repelled, Sanada's troops completed the organization and organized a series of pre-war preparations for 2,000 people on the ship, the entire army adjusted its deployment, ammunition replenishment and other pre-war preparations. Even taking advantage of this time, some of the troops of the Sanada detachment were still facing the direction of Fun Soon Yuan and Liu Yicheng on both wings, and built some simple and practical field fortifications to protect the safety of the landing grounds of the entire landing field. Of course, the Japanese naval guns would also support these two lines of defense at any time.
This time, the intensity of the Japanese attack on the front positions was far greater than the last time. Seeing Lieutenant General Saito was disliked, Major General Sanada could still clearly distinguish between public and private affairs when formulating the combat plan. After analyzing the current situation, he finally decided to put the main attack direction directly in front of him. Major General Sanada knew very well that time was not on his side. If he wanted to perform a "Nakasakapo"-like live drama in front of tens of thousands of Chinese troops, the key was not to eliminate the Chinese army, but to whether he could quickly attack the city of Wucheng. With this view, Major General Sanada concentrated four-fifths of all his troops in his hands in the main attack direction. Although the power of the group charge initiated by nearly 4,000 Japanese troops was not enough to fill the mountains, he also deserved the adjective of the earth shaking. 1 6 k Novel Network.

CN On such a narrow front, the Japanese army invested so much force at one time, but it was a rare thing since the war started.
Fortunately, as early as the Japanese army built the two defense lines, Cheng Jiaji realized that there was no room for tricks in the next battle, so he prepared to draw a battalion from the 200th Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment to strengthen the power of the Ma Siyuan Defense Zone. In three hours, the officers and soldiers of the New 100th Division were not idle. The two simple traffic trenches they urgently dug out had connected the defense zones in three directions. The connection between the traffic trenches inside each defense zone had also improved greatly. All artillery soldiers were also concentrated in front of the Japanese Sanada Detachment. It can be said that in these precious three hours, Cheng Jiaji basically completed all the battlefield deployments he could think of.
But all these arrangements were not enough to block the torrent of thousands and a half-crazy Japanese army crushed over. The first line of defense laid by Cheng Jiaji lost within an hour, and the young lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers disappeared. The Japanese army, which also lost many soldiers, launched attacks on the second line of defense without even stopping. The viewing of the battle with strength may be very poor, and when there is no choice in the place to choose, there is no way to talk about military skills. In fact, Cheng Jiaji also wants to make some more lottery. But in the current situation of not retreating without any step. How can you ask him to use strategies?
The New 100th Division made a step forward, and the powerful Sanada Detachment could rush into Wucheng in one go. By then, even if the New 18th Army could surround the Sanada Detachment in Wucheng, it would be better to join this new force. With the addition of this new force, the Wucheng defender, who had sufficient food and bullets, could at least defend the dead for ten days and half a month. With the absolute advantage of the Japanese army, the sea and air force was enough to cover the continuous Japanese reinforcements to get ashore. In this way, not only could Wucheng difficult to get out, but it was also a problem whether the New 18th Army could escape unscathed. Since ancient times, it has not been possible to pull the city down and delay it for a long time. The attacking army has been hit by the opponent's reinforcements. There are countless examples of the defeat of the entire army.
War is a boring and monotonous act of killing. Two or more groups divided by nations, countries, beliefs, etc., kill each other in order not to infringe on their rights or to maximize their rights. This is the most essential connotation of war. At present, this cruel and slightly boring battle is being carried out in the eastern suburbs of Wucheng. This is a very good interpretation of all this.
If you could look down at the battlefield in the air at this time, you would undoubtedly see such a scene. Two huge streams of people were fighting on the ground. Looking at the moment, there was an endless momentum. The attacking party rushed forward desperately, while the defending party was constantly retreating, and while the defending party was gradually strengthened by the troops gathered from both wings, thus making the defending party's situation increasingly strong and powerful, and the attacking party's pace gradually slowed down.
Major General Sanada drove his troops to seize the two lines of defense set up by Cheng Jiaji in a hurry. It was not until Cheng Jiaji, who had been surveillance outside the east gate, concentrated all the troops he commanded, including the two regiment-level troops that Lieutenant General Huang, on the front line of defense. At the cost of the blood of more than a thousand officers and soldiers, forced the exhausted Sanada troops to stop the horn of advance on the last line of defense.
Seeing that the Japanese army's military power had declined, Cheng Jiaji decided to take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
There were not many troops participating in this counterattack, including Liu Yicheng's rapid column (except cavalry), the guard battalion, the army teaching team, and the first battalion of the 200th Regiment. At this time, the total of these four troops was only 1,700 or 800.
Although there are few soldiers, they are all elite soldiers and generals? This attack was personally directed by Cheng Jiaji, and Wen Songyuan and Liu Yicheng fought against the vanguard. This combination is actually the strongest attack lineup that the New One Hundred Division can set up.
"A man never cared about his body, and he could only smile with his mortal enemies. He would like to be with the wild grass everywhere in the battlefield of hatred... "
To be honest, Cheng Jiaji hasn't personally fought for nearly a year, so it would be fake to say that he is not afraid. But when the veterans who survived the bloody battles in Dawangzhuang, Taierzhuang, and Xiaoban Riverside saw the long-lost coach on the battlefield and excitedly sang the 100-buoy song of the Independent One Hundred Brigades that few people in the Japanese army have sung recently. Cheng Jiaji only felt that he was the famous Han general who fought against the barbarians and attacked the Hu people; he was the hero who was determined to flatten the Tang Dynasty. A bloody energy that had been silent for a long time surged into his heart. At this moment, strength, territory, wealth, and love for children are no longer important. Cheng Jiaji only knew that there was a passionate Chinese heart in his chest.
Originally, as planned, Cheng Jiaji only needed to be at the tail of the attacking troops, and it was enough to sit in the front line, and there was no need to rush to the front line. But when he got impulsive, he snatched Liu Yicheng's mission and Wen Songyuan and stood shoulder to shoulder at the forefront of the commando.
"Search, you don't persuade me if you do this?" Liu Yicheng said to Qian Shen with concern.
Qian Shen just smiled unanimously. To be honest, Qian Shen admired Cheng Jiaji the most because of his occasional glory. The Chinese army has hundreds of divisions, and there are countless generals. There are a few like this that can fight with a heroic spirit before the battle is irreversible. Qian Shen has always believed that this immature manifestation in the eyes of most people is the most charming thing about Cheng Jiaji, and it is also the basis for the New One Hundred Division to be able to come from the blood and fire. As for Cheng Jiaji's safety
Qian Shen was not too worried. First, Tu Jingguo and others were guarding him, and second, Qian Shen firmly believed that Cheng Jiaji would not die so easily. Since he had a close relationship with Cheng Jiaji before the Nanchang fire, Qian Shen believed that Cheng Jiaji would definitely fulfill his wish to drink Tokyo. His mission was to assist this person. Before that, Cheng Jiaji would not die. Qian Shen was not unaware that his determination was somewhat idealistic, but this idea was so strong that it could not be explained by common sense.
Qian Shen, who was also a little excited, saw Cheng Jiaji taking the lead and rushed towards the Japanese army in the rain of bullets. An idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Perhaps being a brave general who fought for the country is what Cheng Jiaji really wanted to do!
Cheng Jiaji could not know what Qian Shen was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it now. The long-term pampering habits made Cheng Jiaji's physique decline much more than that in the battle of Dawangzhuang. As he rushed, he was at the forefront of the counterattack team, and gradually fell behind. But this was enough. The officers and soldiers, inspired by the head coach beside him, shouted and howled to kill the Japanese army. This crazy dragon composed of nearly two thousand elite soldiers
The momentum of devouring everything was shocked by Major General Sanada, and he had to order the Japanese army commanded by him to temporarily retreat to avoid its edge. Another important reason for prompting Major General Sanada to temporarily shrink his troops. That is, he had discovered the traces of the cavalry brigade of Liu Tianlong's troops appeared on the left, for fear that his troops would be assaulted by the cavalry because the Chinese army was scrambling to the front.
After the Japanese retreated to the second line of defense that had been occupied by them, the troops of the New 100th Division did not pursue them, but immediately entered the work of strengthening the position.
