Chapter 88 The Longest Night 4
The position of the tiger ditch is dangerous, and although the Japanese army in the direction of Monk Guanfeng and the side ridge of Majiagou are also actively attacking, it is not as fierce as the Japanese army in the tiger ditch! However, even the desperate Japanese army can only hate the battlefield under the intense fire shooting like a storm.
Everyone can see that the Japanese army in the direction of the side ridge of Majiagou is containing the pstake. Only the tightness of the war in the direction of the tiger ditch also made Zhang Xuewu slightly relieved. If the army in the direction of the side of Majiagou carries out a fierce attack on the side of Majiagou, his pre-front counterattack plan is likely to fail.
In the headquarters of the 10th Division, Shousuke Hirose, who was pale, threw the phone on the table fiercely, untied his collar and walked around the table a few times. The staff in the tent knew that the commander of the division had just received a phone call from the commander of the 14th Division, Matsuki Zhiliang. As for why he was so furious, he couldn't help it. And I know.
Soon, Yuanbu and Ichiro, who commanded the attack on the front line, were recruited into the headquarters by Hirose Shousuke. Hirose Shousuke retreated behind everyone and said ferociously: "Matsugi, this bastard, he lost his own attack and blamed it on us? Say that we can't cooperate? Eight-grid tooth road! This incompetent and shameless old bastard even wants to make a statement by Commander Muto?
Yuanbu and Ichiro frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, the division commander, I believe that Matsuki Zhiliang should spare no effort to attack the tiger ditch at this moment. Even Commander Muto can't bear the loss of such a big responsibility as a brigade commander. The attack in the direction of the tiger ditch has never been intermittent. Obviously, the 14th Division has encountered the front. Unprecedented heavy hit, otherwise the commander of Matsuki Zhiliang's division would not be so angry. I think this is likely to be our opportunity?
"Where is the opportunity?" Hirose Shousuke frowned. He didn't see any chance here. The terrain of the ridge position on the side of Majiagou is much more unfavorable than that of Tiger Dou. The attacking troops can only attack the main position of the Chinese defenders along the three ridges. Compared with the glory of capturing Chengde, it seems that the casualties of the troops are more important. Hirose Shousuke is not Yuanbu and Ichiro, who regard soldiers as material consumables in his official career, cares more about the evaluation of the military department after the war. He does not want to be regarded as an incompetent general by the military department because of excessive casualties.
Yuanbu and Ichiro looked at the side ridge of Majiagou on the sand table and said, "Our army has been attacking for several hours in a row, and the local defense system and firepower distribution are almost clear. The 14th Division is so impatient to attack that the new [***] first division in the garrison can continue to counterattack. I conclude that they The troops must have been transferred from the Majiagou defense line, so our army should put in strength to carry out continuous assault, which is expected to break through the enemy in front of us.
Hirose Shousuke hesitated for a moment and said, "It's already two o'clock in the morning. Are you sure to break the line of defense before dawn? The continuous attack ability of the army is close to the limit, and it is very dangerous to carry out a total attack in a very tired situation.
Yuanbu and Ichiro's full of legs stood upright and said, "Please rest assured, Master! The subordinate officer must break through the enemy's position before dawn.
Hirose Shousuke nodded and said, "Then let it go!"
Looking at the back of Enbe and Ichiro, Hirose Shousuke's eyes are a little complicated! Then Hirose Shousuke turned his eyes back to the sand table. For the enemy's practice of giving up the use of favorable terrain to support the triangular defense system in half of the city, Hirose Shousuke was surprised and admired the courage of the other party! In the face of the superiority of the Imperial Army and the military defense of half of the city, this defense mode has not yet appeared in the memory of Hirose Shousuke.
After a burst of rapid gunfire, Zhang Xuewu's eyes shifted to the direction of the side ridge of Majiagou. About half an hour later, Zhao Xinyu called the division headquarters. The army even risked its own artillery fire to attack the whole line of the side ridge of Majiagou at all costs. It can be said that the ridges and ravines are all over the military headquarters. Zhao Xinyu asked the division's artillery regiment to shell all the secret positions at the front of the Majiagou side ridge position, and asked to use a reserve battalion and a mechanized company directly under the division to attack from the flat cross of the left wing to attack the left wing of the offensive forces to reduce the pressure on the main position.
Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the map and took a deep breath. Can his counterattack plan be implemented? If the 10th Division of the Japanese Army attacks the side ridge position of Majiagou, can it be defended by Zhao Xinyu's regiment alone?
It's better to break one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers. Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath. He guarded Chengde in order to give the Japanese army a living force for an effective attack, so he said to the VIP staff beside him, "Tell the commander of the third regiments that the counterattack plan will be rejected. The artillery regiment can provide a fire attack. Only this time, with the existing troops will do anything. At the cost of defending the side ridge position of Majiagou, it is necessary to allow it to give up the first line of defense! At 8 o'clock tomorrow, I will send reinforcements to help him recover his position.
After receiving the order, Zhao Xinyu shook his hand slightly and handed the order to Li Xinkai, the chief of staff of the division who came to supervise the battle, with a pale face. After reading the order, Li Xinkai hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want me to talk to the division? The division may not understand the situation and determination of the Japanese army to attack.
Zhao Xinyu shook his head and said, "Forget it! You're here to supervise the war. What's the matter with talking for me? The division has the tactical arrangement of the division. I obey the order. If you participate in the seat, you can take command for me! There are still five or six hours left. I'm afraid my brothers can't stand it if I don't go up. Sooner or later, we will carry guns and eat food. If we don't die, we will be lucky. If we fight against the Japanese invaders and die bravely, why can we have to set up a monument or something in future generations?
Li Xinkai nodded and said, "The division has the difficulty of having a division seat. More than 100,000 troops have been defeated like a mountain. If there is no mainstay, the nation and the spirit of this country will be over. This is a lifeless job. Since we are here, we have to let the little boy see if the bones of our Northeast men are hard enough. Don't bully the Northeast Army face to face. I used to be the Northeast Army!"
Then please take a seat. If I really can't come back, you have to take more care of Beiping. Li Xin opened his nose and patted Zhao Xinyu on the shoulder and said, "Are you so popular? The Lord of Yan will not hesitate to accept you!"
The offensive launched by the Japanese army in the direction of the ridge on the side of Majiagou also stimulated the Japanese army in the direction of the tiger ditch. The 10th Division and the 14th division of the Japanese army launched fierce attacks again and again, regardless of casualties as if they were crazy. Even the wing of the 28th Brigade of the Japanese Army was responsible for the containment of Seng Guanfeng was also real and dense. The Japanese army launched an attack along the steep hillside.
For a while, Chengde City was half red by gunfire. The position was lost in recovery, lost, and then counterattacked and recaptured! The battle between the two armies in the middle of the night in the cold winter shocked the world!
