Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 529

Chapter 529 What a coincidence!

The side of the hill!

“Damn Chinese! Damn Ushijima Sadao! Bastard!” Major Shinji Morita cursed in a low voice while wiping the sweat rolling down his forehead.

If the **** Chinese were not stubbornly resisting on the battlefield, how could he appear on this battlefield?

And if **** Ushijima Sadao hadn't ordered his 36th Infantry Brigade to be the main force in the night attack on China's main positions, how could he, a dignified major officer of the 36th Infantry Brigade of the Sixth Division, be in such a peaceful place? Do you still have to run wildly at night without any physical exertion?

He ran 5 kilometers in full gear for 40 minutes, almost vomiting the pampered and dignified Major of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Morita Shinji just scolded the two initiators to deserve death, which is already a very high-quality performance.

Of course, the truth is that the Japanese are not good at scolding. Their navy and army have been scolding each other for many years, and they are just "horses and land" giving each other back and forth.

　　The Chinese, who are crushing the Japanese scum in this aspect, can be scolded for half an hour without repeating the same thing. If it had only relied on scolding and war, Japan would have been exterminated long ago.

Morita Shinji and his Japanese troops appeared here, which was certainly not a good idea.

Let's attack at night! The Chinese have already mastered this routine, and they don't want the Imperial Japanese Army to try it once!

Yes, night attack!

This is the clever plan that seven or eight cobblers collectively came up with after Ushijima Sadao recruited his die-hard brother to the division headquarters in the evening for a brainstorming session.

Without force, how could these Japanese generals be forced to take the "night road"?

Just following orders and holding back the opponent is only a fair tactic. If you want to reduce your culpability, you must obtain sufficient military merit. And if you want to obtain military merit, you must make a sufficient impact on the Chinese defense line before the 114th Division arrives around Taihu Lake. That way Only then can it be shown that the combat power of the 18th Division is still the 'Empire Double 13' back then.

The Major General Brigade Commander and Colonel Captain of the 18th Division knew very well that they were all young men selected by Ushijima Sadao when he was the commander of the 18th Division. They were like grasshoppers on the vine, and they were both prosperous and prosperous. If one loses, everyone loses. If Ushijima Sadao is transferred from the base camp, their life will never be easy, so they might as well take a chance.

In other words, this 13 must be pretended. If not, everyone will lose nothing.

As for Yanagawa Heisuke, who issued military orders to stay put, what is so great about his commander of the Tenth Army? He was just an army lieutenant general, and like Ushijima Sadao, he was transferred from reserve service to active duty when the war started. Why was he bossing around the 18th Division?

The Japanese army's tradition of "subjugating superiors from below" has never been lost. The Tenth Army was able to ignore the strategic plan of the base camp and commandeer troops directly towards the Chinese city of Jinling. The Eighteenth Division took the orders of its commander at the same level as shit. Then What's so great about it?

Therefore, when the generals of the 18th Division who had to fight for their future glory and wealth gathered around the conference table and racked their brains, Colonel Megumi Koto, the chief of staff of the 18th Division, proposed to "use the other." "Tao, do it in return." At the moment when the Chinese army launched a night attack, the eyes of the Japanese generals were shining.

This is definitely a great idea.

It is said that the Chinese are good at night fighting, but they are just forced to do so.

Because during the day, they must face the threats of artillery and aerial bombs. Only at night, the threats of these two are greatly reduced, which can narrow the firepower gap between the two sides. Otherwise, how could they choose to leave the trenches to attack the opponent after being on the defensive for a long time? Build a complete line of defense?

In fact, when the imperial army increased their vigilance and increased patrols, every night attack by the Chinese came at a great price. Every time they retreated, a large number of corpses were left on the position, killing eight hundred enemies and damaging themselves. A thousand tactics.

The Chinese rely on a breath of energy to support them in fighting. As long as this breath is dispersed, victory will belong to the empire sooner or later. The generals of the 18th Division know this very well.

But the group of Chinese people on the opposite side were like invincible 'little strong men'. They became more and more courageous as they fought. Under the crisis of fighting alone, they even resorted to ruthless tactics and severely damaged the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade. This was The generals of the 18th Division did not expect this.

But this does not mean that the Imperial Army will not fight at night. As long as they can rush to the opponent's position unexpectedly, the generals of the 18th Division, who have never achieved success in offensive operations, believe that with the strength of the Imperial Army, The Chinese who are caught off guard will also be killed and disarmed.

The Chinese are not as strong as they imagined. If they were strong enough, they would not be in the current situation. This is what the generals of the 18th Division believe.

Our Imperial Army's "field warfare", no, its night fighting ability is only better than that of the Chinese.

This proposal by Chief of Staff Megumi Koto was quickly adopted.

A night attack on the left wing of the Chinese army! After two days of battlefield reconnaissance, the Chinese had no more than two infantry regiments stationed on their left and right wings, which was considered the weakest link.

For some unknown reason, Ushijima Sadao, who had done some research on traditional Chinese culture, chose the "left wing", which was the direction of the independence camp.

According to his explanation, ancient Chinese tradition respected the left, and Chinese commanders may have deployed their elite troops on the left. What the Imperial Army wants to do this time is to tear a hole in the Chinese defense line. It doesn't matter whether they are elite or ordinary troops. What matters is to kill them.

To put it bluntly, Ushijima Sadao, who has been holding his breath, is playing the "opposite way" routine, which is the same as the slogan shouted by many brave Chinese generals: "I am fighting the elite!" What's more, It wasn't his 18th Division that was responsible for the main force of the night attack?

Aren't those idiots in the Sixth Division known as the 'strongest division on the surface'? Shouldn't the so-called Chinese elite be like chickens and dogs in front of them?

That's right, after the 36th Infantry Brigade was hit and **** on the defense line deployed by Tang Dao, it could only withdraw to the 18th Division's defense line. According to the Japanese Army's wartime regulations, its command rights naturally belong to it. At the higher-level 18th Division Division Headquarters.

Moreover, the North China Expeditionary Force took into account the solidity of the Jiashan defense line, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade was finished, and the Eighteenth Division was insufficient in strength. In order to prevent conflicts between the two armies due to command authority, they simply issued another military order to form the 18th Division. The West Route Army of the Tenth Army, dominated by the Eighteenth Division, has two infantry brigades of the Eighteenth Division, the 36th Infantry Brigade of the Sixth Division, and the 3rd Artillery Battalion of the Sixth Artillery Regiment of the Sixth Division. Brigade.

This is of course not to say that Ushijima Sadao is valued by the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, but that the North China Expeditionary Army has already lost a heavy artillery brigade. I heard that several generals in the base camp are scolding each other from a distance, and no one dares to bear another infantryman. The division suffered heavy losses.

This is the mentality of not being able to break a broken jar. The 18th Division is a weak scumbag, but you can't scumbag me until everyone is gone.

Perhaps the only tragedy was the 36th Infantry Brigade. It was disgraced after chasing the Chinese army all the way, but in the end it was led by another newly formed division.

Forget it, the key is that they were sold without even attending the Supreme Military Council.

Yes, Ushijima Sadao hates the 'culprits' who caused him to make mistakes. Will he think of them during the meeting? That is to say, when performing the most dangerous tasks, I feel that they are quite suitable.

If everything goes well, everyone will be happy. The 36th Infantry Brigade has their merits, and as the actual commander, Ushijima Sadao's merits.

If anything goes wrong, it will only be the "black skin and bright red blood" who wish for themselves.

Of course, Ushijima Sadao had no intention of using thousands of Imperial Army troops as cannon fodder. While ordering the 36th Infantry Brigade to organize a night attack on the left wing of the Chinese defense line, the three infantry regiments of the 18th Division on the front line The team's nearly 10,000 infantrymen all entered the trenches and were on standby.

A tactic, prepared with both hands.

If it can be done, the main force of the 18th Division will attack the Chinese defense line in the dark; if it can't be done, the main force of the Chinese must be contained to allow the 36th Infantry Brigade to retreat smoothly.

It can be said that Ushijima Sadao has thought about it in detail.

What he didn't expect was that the two commanders on the opposite side had almost the same idea as him. They also sent out their most elite infantry battalions, and the entire army quietly entered the trenches. If they could, they would counterattack, if not, they would contain them.

What a coincidence!

This is not the voice of the Chinese and Japanese commanders inside and outside the Jiashan defense line at this time, but Tang Dao's.

Hammer looked into the distance warily, he felt not very good. The Japanese army would never know their action plan, so they should set up an ambush in advance!

While quickly ordering the entire army to remain silent, Tang Dao personally took Gu Xishui, Niu Er and Hammer across a small hill with a width of only 300 meters to conduct reconnaissance.

Emerging from the dark clouds again under the bright moonlight.

A piece of 'shit yellow' sitting in the grass, panting and wiping sweat, occupied Tang Dao's eyes.

According to rough estimates, there are at least 200 Japanese soldiers who also chose to repair the side of the hill, about the strength of an infantry squadron.

Under the moonlight, several light and heavy machine guns were shining dimly. This should be because the infantry squadron had received enhanced firepower.

This traitor is not setting up an ambush, but is also here to attack! Tang Dao's eyes flashed coldly.

It seems that the plan is about to change.
