Chapter 185 Gourd Baby Saves Grandpa
"Baga, we can't wait like this!"
Shengwu Tianbian was also in a bad mood, and immediately said to the two old Japanese soldiers beside him: "Commander, I suggest sending meteorological detection balloons immediately to see what is going on in front of the battlefield!"
"Suga! What Mr. Tabata said is extremely true!"
Hearing this, Yanagawa Heisuke remembered that he had this trick. He quickly nodded and said, "Immediately release the observation hot air balloon, I want to go up and observe in person!"
"Please don't take any risk to yourself, I have to go there!"
Moriwu Tanabe hurriedly said to stop him. Although there would be no safety issues in theory, he was afraid of everything, so he immediately said to stop him, and then volunteered to go up and see it!
After more than an hour of consumption, the Chinese defenders completely controlled the situation and not only knocked over the mortar above the Japanese seawall to only a dozen doors left!
The Japanese infantry and grenades, light machine guns and other firepower points that rushed into the front of the position were also hit!
There were only less than 700 Japanese infantry left, all of whom were lying in the cold mud pit, and they were in a dilemma. They didn't dare to look up and continue to fight head-on, and they could not get back. They could only put cold guns in the mud pit.
The price of our side was to lose two mountain cannons and two heavy machine guns, more than 30 others were killed and more than 50 were seriously injured.
The Japanese dared not charge or retreat, nor dared to shoot, and squatted in the mud pit to put cold guns. Naturally, there was no need for Chinese officers and soldiers to waste bullets to suppress fire, and they would not rush up to fight directly!
So I took a step-by-step decision. As long as the Japanese don’t run away, it’s enough to waste it. Anyway, all I want is to delay time and prevent the Japanese gunboats and planes from bombing!
So, after more than an hour of fighting, a very strange tranquility appeared on the entire battlefield!
"Master, you see the Japanese released hot air balloons! Unfortunately, they are too far away, so we can't hit the cannon!"
There was nothing wrong, Yang Fan squatted in the tunnel and played with his brothers. At this time, the sharp-eyed Liu Qiang was the Japanese hot air balloon rising from the sea as soon as possible!
Yang Fan had long heard of the Japanese using hot air balloons to observe the enemy situation during World War II, so he focused on this in the soldier training manual!
"Then let everyone lie down and leave a few observation posts to not let the Japanese below run away!"
Yang Fan smiled indifferently. There are no satellites or unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the world at present. It would be strange if the Japanese could see their own details by their original backward reconnaissance methods!
"Baga, what's the situation? Is this still the dignified Guoqi Detachment? Why don't you rush up to capture the defense line of the Chinese army?"
The Kunizaki Detachment was a special independent detachment (a mixed brigade group) under the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army during World War II. The soldiers all came from the soldiers of Hiroshima, Shimae and Yamaguchi in the western part of Honshu, Japan and the mountainous areas of China.
In the original history, the Guoqi Detachment joined the other seven divisions to participate in the Nanjing Massacre.
Six weeks after the Nanjing Massacre, the Guoqi Detachment was recalled by the 5th Division and returned to the main organization of the 5th Division. During the Taierzhuang Battle, several days of fierce fighting with General Zhang Zizhong's 55th Army, both sides suffered more than 6,000 casualties.
Now the landing force is an infantry corps of the Kurosaki Detachment, and its combat effectiveness is definitely the best among the many Japanese army!
Chief of Staff of the 10th Army, Moriba Tanabe, took a hot air balloon and rose into the air. He took a telescope and saw an extremely strange phenomenon!
I saw a group of Japanese men and cats motionless in the crater like clay men. Occasionally, someone fired a few cold guns forward, but there were no figures in the opposite Chinese defenders!
The enemy and us are completely in a very unreasonable stalemate. At first glance, they may even mistakenly think that the Guoqi Detachment is acting as an actor and letting go!
Tanabe Moriwu was confused and anxious, but he couldn't contact the front line troops directly through the radio!
After a while, he still couldn't see anything useful. Tanabe Moritake could only take a hot air balloon to return to the deck of the Shoe-Jewelry heavy cruiser. He will report to Yanagawa Heisuke and Toyota Juntake when he sees the situation!
"Baga? What's the situation?"
Yanagawa Heisuke was also stunned and could not understand the whole story no matter what angle he thought about it.
"ah!"
Tianbian Shengwu suddenly exclaimed and said in a serious tone: "Master Commander, I am a little worried that our opponent may have someone else!"
Never seen Tanabe Moritake so solemnly, Yanagawa Heisuke suddenly said in his heart: "What does it mean? Just say whatever you have! When is it now?"
Tianbian Shengwu said word by word: "Commander, I think the combat method of the Chinese army on the opposite side is very similar to the Shandong Gaomi Chinese army in the intelligence. I am very worried that we will meet a real opponent!"
Yanagawa Heisuke's face changed drastically: "How is this possible? Isn't there any exact information that shows that the Independent Division has not changed any abnormally recently? Did Yang Fan have been staying in Gaomi Prefecture to expand his army and prepare for war?"
The shadow of the famous tree, Yang Fan repeatedly damaged the Japanese elite division, which not only caused major casualties to the Japanese army, but also caused great psychological pressure to the Japanese army!
If an independent division with tens of thousands of powerful combat power suddenly emerges under his nose and has already made the game in advance, then if the 10th Army wants to successfully land in coastal areas such as Kingsoft Guard, it will inevitably pay an unimaginable price!
Tianbian Moriwu said with a puzzled look: "This is also something I am puzzled. The main force of the Independent Division has never left the Shandong territory. This is certain!
But the current situation makes me have to think about it, because even the most elite Chinese Central German Division cannot use hundreds of people to block the general attack of our entire 8 infantry squadrons!
Among the millions of Chinese troops, only the Shandong Gaomi Independent Division is elusive, especially the first time it appeared in Fengtai, and the timing is just right!”
"Suoga! Since this is the case, immediately expand the landing combat scope, and at the same time, the entire coastline of Caojing Town, Quangongting, and Jinsi Niang are on the beach. You must complete the landing before dark!
We have no choice but to do so!"
After a little pondering, Yanagawa Heisuke bit his teeth and decided to expand the landing range of the beach. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be, because the relevant information shows that the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield will retreat across the board in about ten days!
The most important goal of the Japanese base camp to form the 10th Army is to land near the Kingsoft Guard in Hangzhou Bay at the end of October or early November!
Then, the main force advanced towards the Huangpu River line by rapid advance, captured Songjiang, cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway, and one of them advanced towards the Minhang River Crossing Point, supporting the Shanghai dispatched troops to fight, and cooperating with the elimination of the Chinese army around Shanghai!
If the 10th Army was delayed for one more day in the Kingsoft Guard, it would lag behind the strategic goals set by the headquarters, and would even seriously affect the overall situation of the Battle of Shanghai!
"It's all we can do now! We really can't afford to delay!"
Tianbian Moriwu nodded helplessly. If he had known the current situation, he would have logged in so many places at the beginning and made a big splash to break through the sea defense line in one go!
