"Regiment Commander, the China Army has changed. The firepower of the new troops is too strong. The firepower of the dynasty's army was completely suppressed by them. The front line can't hold on much longer."
A second lieutenant officer with a bloody face ran in with his tattered military uniform and cried.
Facing the attack of the troops just now, they could still fight with ease. However, after the change of troops, their firepower was completely suppressed.
The enemy's heavy and light machine guns were too powerful, completely suppressing their own side. They wanted to use the grenade launcher to take out the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, but before their grenade launcher could be fired, the enemy's mortars had already started firing and knocked out their light and heavy machine guns.
When their grenade launchers were fired, the enemy's mortars were aimed at the grenade launchers. One after another, the Japanese were beaten to a pulp.
"Looks like Zhang Wenbin must have sent his own headquarters.”
Gu Shoufu's expression became serious. Zhang Wenbin's base only had six infantry battalions. Although there were only six infantry battalions, their combat strength was definitely not low.
Perhaps in the past, it could be said that their teamwork was not good, and their individual combat strength was not good.
However, after the battle in Jinling, they had already gotten used to each other. The cooperation between the various units and their individual combat skills had changed.
The battlefield was the best teacher for soldiers.
......
"Only his headquarters. However, their firepower didn't suppress us too much. Tell the frontline troops to hold on. " It's already five o'clock now. We'll hold on for another two hours. In two hours, the sky will brighten. The army will be able to support us. In two and a half hours, the cavalry regiment will be back.”
Yoshizumi looked at the second lieutenant and said sternly.
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
The officer turned around and left. However, less than five minutes after he left, a staff officer ran in.
"Regiment Commander, the 7th regiment has sent a farewell telegram. They were no longer able to defend against the Chinese army's attacks, and their positions were forced. The 7th regiment commander had already burned the flag and decided to kill the Chinese!”
The staff officer's words made Yoshizumi's body sway, and he was held up by Inoue Naoshi.
"How did this happen? The 7th regiment is the elite regiment of the 9th division, how could he not be able to hold them off?”
Yoshizumi still couldn't believe it.
"Order the 23rd regiment to immediately reinforce the 7th regiment. Tell them to be quick!”
At this moment, Tanishou ordered his staff officer.
Logically speaking, the 6th and 9th divisions should have eight infantry regiments.
However, Zhang Wenbin had defeated the 35th Regiment of the 9th Regiment in Jinling.
Hence, their two Regiments only had seven infantry regiments.
This was only in theory.
The 7th Regiment of the 9th Regiment had been beaten to the point where they could not fight anymore. The regiment commander had even burned the flag. Everyone knew what this meant.
The 45th regiment of the 6th division had suffered over 2,000 casualties in the previous battle. The 3,800-strong infantry regiment only had around 1,000 people left. It could be said that they were completely crippled.
Right now, the two Regiments added up to five Infantry Regiments.
The five infantry regiments were not complete. The 36th regiment of the 9th division had also suffered heavy losses.
With just these few infantry regiments, it was extremely difficult to resist the attacks of Zhang Wenbin's troops. They no longer had any reserve forces to mobilize.
One had to know that Zhang Wenbin's more than 100,000 people had surrounded them. They were not only attacking from one direction, but also from other directions. However, one of the directions was the main attack direction, while the other directions were feints that would affect the Japanese forces.
.............
After the advisor of the 6th division gave the order, Tanishou looked at Yoshizumi and said,"Yoshizumi, you have to pull yourself together. The 9th division still needs you!"
Yoshizumi nodded silently and pulled himself together.
"Lord Yoshizumi, we don't have enough soldiers now, but the Chinese are attacking from all directions. We can't continue fighting like this. We have to shrink the defensive circle so that we have enough troops to last until dawn.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to persist even in these two hours.”
Tanishou looked at Yoshizumi and said.
With insufficient troops, the defensive circle was not small. At this time, the best way was to shrink the defensive circle. This way, the troops would be slightly denser and it would be easier to defend.
Yoshizumi nodded and said,"What you said makes sense. If that's the case, then shrink the defensive circle. Your 23rd regiment shouldn't go to the rescue either.”
Gu Shou Fu nodded and said,"Alright!" I'll give the order to the 23rd Regiment immediately."
................
Zhang Wenbin put down the binoculars in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Japanese are starting to shrink their defensive line. The sound of gunfire clearly shifted. The location of the explosion also moved forward.”
Zhang Wenbin could not help but light a cigarette as he spoke. He did not sleep all night. Although he was in good spirits, the number of times he smoked increased. This was also a problem of staying up all night, including many people in the future. It was very uncomfortable to stay up all night without smoking.
"Guild Leader, what should we do now?”
Wang Jiu asked.
"What should we do? What should he do? They've shrunk their defensive circle, so they have more troops, but we'll continue to fight! In general, our army has the upper hand. What we need to do is to expand the results.”
As Zhang Wenbin spoke, he looked at the sky and then at the time. It was already 5:15! They did not have much time left.
"Report! Infantry Battalion One sent news that Major Wang Yiqiu had successfully broken through the Japanese's position and was currently clearing the remaining enemies on the position.
The Japanese didn't come to their aid. They set up a defensive position behind them.”
A confidential officer ran to Zhang Wenbin and said loudly.
"It seems like that's the case! Tell Wang Yiqiu and Zhou Chengyi that the operation plan remains unchanged. They will face greater difficulties, but I don't care. I want the lives of the two old devils, Yoshizumi and Tanishou.”
"Yes, sir!"
..............
"Report ~ report ~ the Chinese army's offensive is too sharp, our 23rd regiment is almost unable to withstand their attacks!”
"Report! The China Army has broken through the 23rd regiment's defense line. The Empire's warriors are fighting with the China Army on the battlefield!”
"Report! Report! A Chinese army has passed through the camp and is charging towards the command center!”
...
Bad news kept arriving in the ears of Yoshizumi and Tanishou.
"Their target is the two of us!”
Tanishou turned his stiff head and looked at Yoshizumi.
"Not bad! They broke through the 23rd regiment's formation and didn't send their forces into the battle. Instead, they sent a unit through the formation and rushed towards our division. It seems that Zhang Wenbin's ambition is not small."
