Chapter 115 8 Ga, I was fooled
who cares.
It was their fault for making the mistake in the first place.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice and turned to the person on duty beside the phone and said, "Let the artillery launch an attack on Xiaorizi's position immediately. All tanks are on standby. Once the attack is over, drive up immediately."
really.
I guessed it right.
They really fought back here.
Tani Hisao glanced at the Nanjing Air Force who were leaving the headquarters and sneered twice, saying to the chief of staff beside him, "They will definitely mobilize troops from Shanghai, right?"
This is a question and also an affirmation.
The chief of staff felt that something was wrong.
According to the information, a Sichuan Army division was stationed on the opposite side, but judging from the recent artillery bombardment, the other side had at least the strength of an artillery battalion, and all of them were field artillery.
How could the Sichuan Army have such a strong artillery force? Could it be that the Central Army urgently mobilized it? This was not logical either. The contradiction between the local army and the Central Army made it impossible for them to really help each other.
"Your Excellency the division commander is right, but I don't understand how they can have such a fierce artillery force."
this?
Tani Hisao couldn't explain why for a moment.
He was just about to find a reason to explain.
There was another thunderous roar ahead.
The entire ground was shaking with this roar.
Heavy artillery.
Tani Hisao's face slightly changed, because he saw a bunker was blown into pieces by a shell. To have such lethality, the Nanjing army must have used heavy artillery.
The 10th Heavy Artillery Regiment was fighting in Shanghai. This unit was equipped with heavy howitzers ordered from Germany.
Suddenly, Tani Hisao felt that he was having trouble breathing.
Their heavy artillery had long been aimed at this place. Could I understand that this was a scheme against the Sixth Division from the very beginning?
From the beginning of yesterday's battle, it was all a calculation.
I can't stay here any longer. If the other side has such a plan, then Shanghai will not be able to withdraw troops next, and I should deal with the troops from Nanjing.
If you follow this plan.
Tani Hisao quickly came to the map.
This sight reminded him of another thing. During yesterday's attack, most of the Nanjing troops evacuated to both sides instead of to the rear.
"Baka." Tani Hisao took a deep breath and glanced at the chief of staff beside him; "We were fooled. The other side deliberately lured us here, and the troops that evacuated to both sides yesterday, I'm afraid they have closed the gap by now."
The Chief of Staff also gasped.
If this is the case, the Sixth Division will be in danger. He quickly thought of a solution in his mind. After a long time, he pointed to the map and said, "It may be too late to evacuate. We need to build a defensive position here and wait for rescue."
If we retreat, there will be nowhere to build a defensive position, and the enemy may already be on their way.
Tani Hisao was of course aware that the Sixth Division was now in a passive position.
He nodded slightly and said, "Let's do this. I believe they can't defeat us."
The reconnaissance plane in the air had already figured out the movements in the vegetable garden area, and the photos they took were quickly delivered to Matsui Iwane.
From the photo, Matsui Iwane clearly saw that at least several divisions of troops were deployed behind the 6th Division, and they were building defensive fortifications, while on the vegetable garden side, there were also more than two divisions of troops.
He took a deep breath and instantly realized that the Sixth Division had been tricked by the other side.
"Damn it, they are going to eat up our Sixth Division." Matsui Iwane dropped the photo and came to the map to take a look, then immediately made adjustments, ordering the troops to quickly attack the junction of the two enemy divisions, and then attack in the direction of the vegetable garden to quickly pull out the Sixth Division.
"General, it seems that no one in Nanjing's army can defeat our entire division in one go." Even if it is just a brigade, they don't have the strength and ability to do so.
Matsui Iwane narrowed his eyes as he looked at the chief of staff. "Of course I know that they don't have such ability, but don't forget that Nanjing needs a victory to force our empire to surrender. None of us knows how determined they are to swallow up the Sixth Division."
The Sixth Division did not bring enough supplies. If they attacked in turns, how long would the ammunition in their hands last?
He didn't dare to gamble on this matter. If the other party succeeded, how would he explain it to his superiors?
"General, what you are thinking is that I am stupid."
Matsui Iwane was in no mood to listen to his subordinates' flattery. He looked at the map and issued several orders in succession. The first order was to have the Sixth Division quickly evacuate to the 11 o'clock direction of the vegetable garden, because that was the most suitable evacuation route at the moment, and he would quickly open a gap there to help them break out.
Tani Hisao ignored the telegram.
He didn't dare. The moment he really entered the dangerous area, he was more cautious than anyone else.
If he wanted to bring the glory of the Sixth Division to the top last night, then now, his request is very weak, just hoping to get the troops here out. "
Tani Hisao had no idea how many troops the other side had assembled to deal with him.
Once we go out and are intercepted by the enemy, and are attacked from both sides, there is no place better for defense than here.
"Mr. Division Commander, do we need to evacuate?" The chief of staff came to his side, shook the evacuation message above and asked.
Tani Hisao looked back and forth at the evacuation route for a while, then turned to look at his chief of staff and asked, "How do you know how many troops are waiting for us along this route?"
The enemy has been targeting the Sixth Division from the very beginning. They must have made deployments in advance. Perhaps a large number of troops have already been gathered in the ruins, waiting for them to jump in.
Well, it’s better to stay here and wait for reinforcements.
"But His Excellency the Division Commander, His Excellency the General wants us to evacuate from here quickly, and he will support us immediately." The chief of staff repeated the contents of the telegram.
Tani Hisao picked up the telegram, read it again and again, and then tore it up.
General Matsui's consideration was indeed correct. Doing so would allow the two armies to merge quickly and avoid the possibility of them annihilating the Sixth Division.
But, General Matsui, why didn't you consider another problem?
The Sixth Division, which had long been riddled with holes, could no longer withstand even the slightest blow. Once struck, its backbone would be broken by the enemy.
"I believe in your intentions, General, but don't forget that we can no longer afford even the slightest loss."
That’s it. We don’t know what kind of punishment we will face next.
