Chapter five hundred and fortieth right-wing crisis
At this moment, the Japanese army concentrated at least half of its troops to attack the right wing. Wu Peilin and Huang Tiandi were at a glance at the north gate.
Wu Peilin was just worried. To be honest, he had no idea how powerful the Eighth Route Army was, but judging from the confidence they showed, it seemed that the combat power was very strong.
Of course, Wu Peilin would not think that their combat effectiveness would be better than their own troops. He knew the troops he led, but the discipline of the Eighth Route Army was also very strict. Judging from their appearance, they were very brave in fighting.
In fighting against the enemy, the spirit of not being afraid of death is indeed very important. The saying that the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road is quite reasonable.
Wu Peilin said: Commander Huang, Political Commissar Wang, it seems that the Japanese army has chosen many directions for attacking. Are you sure to defend it.
Huang Tiandi also frowned slightly. To be honest, he had no confidence in the face of the Japanese tanks and tanks and thousands of infantrymen.
And he also knew that if the right wing was lost, he would basically announce the loss of the entire position. Huang Tiandi now saw such a scene and was under a lot of pressure, but he would never want to lose his part at any time.
Huang Tiandi said: Please rest assured, Commander Wu, we will do our best to defend the position. If we really can't stand it, your army will help fight back against the Japanese army.
Wu Peilin nodded with a smile. To be honest, he still agrees with Huang Tiandi's words. At least they are not afraid of the Japanese army, but they also consider their strength.
In general, they did not lose confidence in themselves too much, but they did not have blind confidence. Wu Peilin looked at Huang Tiandi. This person was indeed very calm.
Wu Peilin smiled and said: Since this is the case, I will prepare a regiment of troops to support you at any time and must not be lost. Although I was smiling, Wu Peilin's tone was unquestionable.
This was the first day of the Japanese attack. He lost his position and directly opened the city gate to the Japanese army. This would have a great blow to morale.
On the front position, the Japanese army began to shoot continuously at the positions opposite the river, and the temporary machine gun points and mortar positions began to shoot continuously at the opposite position.
However, what we greeted them was the artillery fire of the Second Army of the 318th Army before the Japanese advanced because the Japanese firepower was very strong, the mortar did not play any major role.
However, now that the Japanese army is intensively attacking, the artillery behind the positions will naturally not make the Japanese army as comfortable. One after another, the shells are constantly falling on the line of the Japanese attack.
However, the mortars are not very lethal to Japanese tanks. The Japanese army began to move towards their positions under the cover of tanks.
The Japanese army kept falling down and people kept transporting the bodies back, but the Japanese army's pace did not slow down.
There was a river in the middle, but the Japanese army wanted to use their tanks to forcefully break a road and then start building the Iron-Ban Bridge. But if they were so good, they would not have attacked for so many days without progress.
The right-wing position is now a focus of the competition between the two sides, and the left-wing position is solid, but the right-wing position looks precarious.
Because compared with the number of Japanese troops, the number of people on the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the right wing was less than 1,000, and the number of people on the reserve was only a little over 1,000. As a result, the pressure on the right wing was very great
Battalion Commander, the Japanese are too many, our firepower can't suppress them at all, we can't hold them back now, we don't have heavy firepower to suppress them, what should we do if the Japanese tanks pose a great threat to our position. A soldier can't see what his face looks like. At least black, he said to the battalion commander of his position.
Don't worry about this, the dead order given to us by the regiment commander was to hold the position until the last person aimed at me now. The battalion commander was shouting.
The battalion commander wouldn't let us organize the suicide squad to kill the Japanese tanks and they would calm down.
You think I don't want it, look at how we pass through the river, and then let's talk about it. The Japanese now occupy our first line of defense, and the suicide squad basically loses its function. Unless we can kill all the Japanese in the first line of defense, we can't rush out, but the battalion commander said with a breath.
The sound of dada machine guns is endless. The battle between the two sides is back and forth and back, but anyone with discerning eyes can see that the right-wing position is now shaking, but the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties. The first wave of attack was quickly repelled, and the number of casualties on both sides is basically the same.
Seishiro Itagaki was very dissatisfied. He originally thought that the 318th Army would be much more disordered because the main general died in battle, but he didn't expect it to be a difficult bone to crack.
However, Seishiro Itagaki looked at the battle and found the weakness of the 318th Army, which was that the right wing used a telescope to observe that it was the Eighth Route Army.
Ji Jiajun, did you see it? The Eighth Route Army of the Chinese Army, that army like a rat. I didn't expect that they would fight us on the front battlefield and know what I saw? Seishiro Itagaki said half-jokingly
Itagaki Jun saw something and asked very well. In fact, he already knew what Itagaki Seishiro thought.
I saw a river between the hope of breaking this line of defense. It is the biggest obstacle for our offense and defense. If we want to enter Tongcheng, this is obviously the most difficult problem for us to overcome. Now the Eighth Route Army gave us this opportunity. Seishiro Itagaki smiled and said with a grim smile.
What does Itagaki-kun plan to do? Yoshikara Ryosuke actually didn't command the attack this time. He handed over the entire command to Itagaki Seishiro. Itagaki-kun Ryosuke didn't want to command, but he really couldn't attack Tongcheng. He basically used all the methods he should use. Now he is a bit of a trick of being exhausted.
It's very simple, it's to concentrate firepower and blast this defense line. If the possibility of breaking the defense at the third line at the same time is too small, but now it only breaks the right wing, I am still very confident. Itagaki Seishiro said confidently, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was really not a threat when he was in North China.
It’s not that Seishiro Itagaki looked down on the Eighth Route Army, but that the Eighth Route Army they encountered when they were in North China was so poor that they had poor equipment. If they didn’t attack, it would be difficult to pose any threat to the Japanese army.
Even so, for Seishiro Itagaki, he still looks down on the Eighth Route Army, no other reason, just because they have already positioned it in Seishiro Itagaki's heart.
Huang Tiandi came down during the rest to comfort the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Some soldiers participated in the battle for the first time and watched countless people fall down. Their faces were very pale.
At this time, the arrival of the general can indeed give them confidence. Huang Tiandi also knows that if they want to grow, this step must be taken.
However, looking at these young people who are still young, a sad smell also emerged in Huang Tiandi's heart. I wonder how many of them can survive this battle?
When Huang Tiandi said that to Wu Peilin, they were destined to be destroyed in the end.
How could he not know that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, whether in terms of the quality of the soldiers and combat effectiveness, they were inferior to the Japanese army.
Huang Tiandi has seen the battle of the 318th Army. He also wanted to compete with the 318th Army from the bottom of his heart, but now it seems that the gap between the 318th Army is not a small part of it.
Huang Tiandi hasn't seen the combat power of the 318th Regiment before. If he had seen it, he might not even have the intention to compete.
This time, most of the Second Army were from the original 26th Army, so the combat effectiveness was indeed much weaker than before. If these tens of thousands of people had the strength of those people in the previous 318th Regiment, these Japanese devils Wu Peilin really didn't take them seriously.
The Japanese army now had high expectations for the right wing, but they also knew that it would be unrealistic to take this position within one or two days.
And they don't know if the Chinese army has done something again in these positions. This time, Seishiro Itagaki and Ryosuke Yoshika were still very cautious about how to deal with the 318th Army.
Finally, they came up with a very feasible method. The Eighth Route Army on the right wing was their number one target. This time, Seishiro Itagaki planned to use about 5,000 troops to seize the right wing position in one go, build a floating bridge for them, and rush over to win time. Of course, these are all the wishful thinking of Seishiro Itagaki. Wu Peilin has not made any moves at this moment.
You should know that Wu Peilin has mastered the rhythm of the entire war. At this time, the Japanese army did not have any movements, so naturally he did not have much movements.
This time, Wang Mingyu mobilized half of his direct teams for him to use. Obviously, he also saw the Japanese army entering the North City Gate. The North City Gate is now the main battlefield between China and Japan.
Wang Mingyu has grasped the situation on the entire battlefield from the report of the battle. The Japanese army is still dominated by the North City Gate. At this moment, Wang Mingyu has ordered the two regiments of the East City Gate Independent Division to quietly mobilize to the North City Gate. The pressure to supplement the South City Gate is also quite high, but compared with the North City Gate, they still have traces to follow.
Of course, Wang Mingyu didn't know that their biggest problem now was the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese also knew how to pick soft persimmons, although the battle had just ended
But the crisis on the right wing had emerged. Wu Peilin looked at the Eighth Route Army on the right wing, thoughtful, and then called Huang Tiandi over.
