The pitch-black night was like a splash of ink, cold and bone-piercing. As he spoke, the dense white gas became even more dazzling under the dim yellow light!
At present, the People's Square, which was warehouse number one, was completely a cage. The surroundings were surrounded by the Japanese army. Except for the national artillery in the south, the east, west, and north were all occupied by the Japanese army. It was obviously impossible to transfer the main force. If they continued to wait for death, they would probably be eaten by the Japanese army first. It seemed that the 88th and 89th divisions of the 19th army and the 15th army would not come to the rescue. Cai Tingkai and the plan of the Army Department... Naturally, the 19th Division would join forces with the 5th Division to form a large encirclement outside the Japanese army's encirclement and then devour the 9th Division!
The 44th Brigade, from the looks of it, was part of the Army Department's plan from the beginning, and the Japanese army obviously had no intention of giving up on this piece of meat that had fallen into the tiger's mouth!!
Gu Weiming, Meng Xiaosong, Chen Zhiwen, Sun Qichang, and the others lit the lamp and spread out the Japanese defense map of Zhabei. The Japanese army's 9th division was a regular division of Japan and also an A-class division. The 9th division was organized into four units, namely, the division had two brigade regiments, the brigade regiments had two infantry regiments, the infantry regiments had three infantry brigades, the brigade had four infantry squadrons, and one machine gun squadron. There were eight heavy machine guns, one large artillery squad (two 70mm infantry cannons), three infantry squads under the infantry squadron, one machine gun squad (two light machine guns), one grenade launcher squad (two grenade launchers), and two rifle squads under the squad. A division also had an artillery regiment, a logistics regiment, an engineering regiment, a cavalry regiment (4 cavalry squadrons and 1 machine gun squadron), and other units. Naturally, some special divisions would be equipped with heavy artillery, cavalry units, or even tanks!
In general, before the outbreak of the war, the number of heavy machine guns in the A-class divisions and divisions of the Japanese army was around 110, mainly Type 89 heavy machine guns. Type 92 heavy machine guns were not equipped on a large scale, and the number of light machine guns was around 500. The number of field mountain cannons was around 64, the number of infantry cannons was around 44, and the number of grenade launchers was around 580!
No wonder it was said that the firepower configuration of an infantry division of the national army could only be compared to an infantry regiment of the Japanese army. Even the German Machinists equipped in the future would only have 12 75mm caliber howitzers!!
During the War of Resistance, the greatest trauma that the Japanese had given to the Chinese was the small-caliber grenade launchers. They were flexible, versatile, and could be used by individual soldiers. The damage they caused was beyond imagination. Facing an agricultural country like China that lacked industry, Japan, which had a complete industrial system, did not put much thought into China. Later on, facts proved that after the Pacific battlefield was established, most of the elite divisions of the Japanese army were transferred to the Pacific battlefield!
Even so, the war dragged on for several years. The Japanese's combat strength could not be measured by weapons alone. In the final battle, the brave would win. Only with perseverance would the winner be king. The Japanese had gambled crazily on the fate of their country. In the two major naval battles between Japan and Russia, they established their dominance in Asia!
"Zhabei Transportation Bureau, here, Qichang, is the command center of the Japanese 9th division. There is a large infantry unit stationed there, close to 1,000 people!”
Chen Zhiwen was a little curious. How did the brigade commander know about the Japanese's division headquarters? This was supposed to be an absolute secret. Even the military headquarters and the Army Department would not know about the Japanese's 9th division headquarters. The brigade commander seemed to have changed into a different person. He was calm, decisive, and ambitious!!!
If he was a docile sheep in the past, then he was now a bloodthirsty lone wolf, greedily staring at the Japanese in front of him, as if he wanted to swallow them whole. It had changed, the traveler had changed. The young Gu Weiming was like a true hero, beginning to think about everything in the future. Perhaps it was his personal ambition, or the righteousness of the nation that had made him like this!
No one knew that Gu Weiming was bound to the Red Alert base, and the 9th Division's command center was naturally informed by the Red Alert base. They could even accurately locate the location, the number of troops, and the number of heavy weapons.
However, it was obvious that there was no explanation as to how Gu Weiming knew about the command center of the Japanese 9th Division. Sun Qichang was a little closer to it, the Zhabei Transportation Bureau. It was close to the East China Sea, and because the Japanese had the support of the navy and air force, it was very reasonable to place the command center there!
"I need nearly 20 people, equipped with a large number of small-caliber mortars, light machine guns, and a large number of grenades. Warehouse 1 is at the People's Square. Cross Fuxing Street, then pass Zhuanqiao South Road, and enter Zhabei West Road.!”
"Because it is close to the Japanese navy and air force, the main purpose of this destructive battle is to destroy the enemy's command center, not to destroy their effective strength. Sun Qichang, you will carry out the task of selecting brothers. Chen Zhiwen, you will be fully responsible for warehouse number one.”
The three of them nodded and instantly moved. Sun Qichang had already thought it through and even chose from the original guard company. Since it was a small unit, the guard company was the best choice!!!
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiwen had gathered all the officers, including company commanders and above, because they had suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Japanese infantry regiment in the past two days. Because of Gu Weiming, the officers of the 44th Brigade liked to lead the charge and lead the charge. Reality had proven that, to a certain extent, this method had caused the officers to suffer heavy casualties, so heavy that Gu Weiming could not accept it!
In an army, the strategic command of the higher-ups was important!!
However, the command of the middle level was equally crucial!!!
Vaguely, occasionally, the sporadic gunshots rose and fell, and they surged into the sky. Although it was night, the main battlefield of the national army and the Japanese army seemed to have weakened a lot. However, many places were still dotted with sparks!
Just like Gu Weiming's decision to attack the Japanese army's headquarters at night, the Japanese's night battle was equally impressive. The title of Asia's number one army was not casually given. Their perverted militarism had caused this nation's worship of death to reach a level of paranoia that was close to the devil!
However, this time, the Japanese were facing Gu Weiming, who would give the Japanese the heaviest blow on the battlefield in Songhu!
Since he did not want to be a lamb, he would raise the butcher's knife in his hand and kill. He would kill those executioners with his own hands. Even if his fingers were stained with blood, he would protect the last piece of pure land!
The hidden battle, Destruction of the 9th Division Headquarters, officially began!!!
