Chapter 56 This is our Eighth Division's best chance to fight back
The position where the Japanese division commander, Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, was observing the battle situation on the front line was,
"Report! Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
"Our air force has all launched an attack!"
"The 3rd Flying Group, which is responsible for supporting our position, sent a radio communication asking us if we need to carry out air strikes to support the China Army immediately!"
Staff officer Takizawa Eguchi hurriedly rushed to the division commander Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, nodded and bowed, and made an emergency report.
"Wait a little longer. Now I just want to know whether our field artillery regiment, plus the joint attack of our other artillery brigade, can destroy all the artillery units of the Chinese Army on the opposite side!"
"Now I really want to know where the Chinese army on the opposite side got so many artillery pieces and mortars!"
"Especially those heavy mortar groups!"
"According to the latest investigation by our intelligence department, two days ago, only the Eighth Division of the opposite China Army was facing us head-on. Even if the China Army in its nearby position is included, there are not that many artillery to counterattack us!"
"So what I really want to know now is whether the Chinese army on the opposite side has changed its troops!"
"Perhaps the elite troops of the China Army have secretly come to help?"
"But the intelligence from the Special High School shows that the most elite 88th Division and 87th Division of the China Army are not in the position opposite us!"
"And even if these two ace Chinese divisions come to our aid, they will never have so many artillery to counterattack us again!"
"Because these two Chinese ace divisions have been severely injured after fierce battles with us, and their weapons and equipment should not be replenished so quickly!"
"What's more, they are losing ground now!"
"Although these Chinese troops are here in Yunzaobang now, they seem to be launching a large-scale counterattack!"
"But they still have no way to resist the attacks of several divisions of our Imperial Japanese Army!"
"And our reinforcements are also coming one after another, being transported continuously from the mainland and put into the battlefield!"
"So now I am very curious about who the Chinese army on the opposite side with so many artillery is?"
"Why doesn't our intelligence department have the most accurate information about them?"
"Although the last time the intelligence department sent it was about the defensive force of the opposing China Army, it only had one company of troops, and it also came with the personal information of the opposing commander Liu Feiyang!"
"But based on the current battle situation, I am very sure that the Chinese army on the opposite side will not be an ordinary company at all, nor will it only have the strength of one company!"
"If the Chinese Army is really so wealthy and can have so many artillery and artillery groups in one company, then our Imperial Japanese Army still dare to come here?"
"Can we still capture this place so smoothly, as well as the three northeastern provinces of China and Beiping?"
"So you also go to the intelligence department for me and tell me that I hope they can seriously conduct an in-depth investigation to understand the origin of the Chinese army on the opposite side? And their exact strength!"
"I don't want my troops to be fighting against a powerful enemy force that has no details!"
"Because it's a dangerous gamble!"
"Our entire 101st Division will be plunged into the worst and most dangerous situation at any time!"
When the division commander, Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, listened to the report from staff officer Takizawa Eguchi, he was in a irritable mood and spoke out all his doubts and angry orders in one breath.
Listening to the division commander Lieutenant General Ito Masaki's endless complaints and confusion.
Staff officer Takizawa Eguchi was smart enough to keep his mouth shut and be a good listener.
"Did you hear what I said clearly?"
However, when Staff Officer Takizawa Eguchi remained silent for too long, division commander Lieutenant General Ito Masaki suddenly stopped talking, frowned, stared at Staff Officer Takizawa Eguchi with a very gloomy expression and asked coldly.
Because he thought that the staff officer Takizawa Eguchi was distracted and did not hear what he said clearly, so he became angry.
"Hai!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
"I heard this very clearly!"
"I will immediately follow your order to convey it!"
"Be sure to let the people from the intelligence department fully investigate all the situations of the China Army on the opposite side, and find them out as quickly as possible and report them to you!"
"In addition, as for the air force, I will also ask them to wait a little longer before bombing the Chinese Army on the opposite side!"
When he saw the division commander, Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, suddenly becoming angry and questioning him, Staff Officer Takizawa Eguchi immediately responded in a hurry and wisely repeated the order given by the other party.
"Um!"
"In addition to the above situations, you also need to immediately give orders to each regiment to comprehensively counterattack the defense lines of Yunzaobang of the China Army. You must occupy the entire Yunzaobang before the sun goes down!"
After hearing the answer from staff officer Takizawa Eguchi, the division commander Lieutenant General Ito Masaki continued to issue orders with great satisfaction.
"Hai!"
"Everything will be communicated according to the instructions of the division commander!"
Staff officer Takizawa Eguchi quickly and respectfully agreed.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, waved his hand and signaled the staff officer, Takizawa Eguchi, to get things done quickly.
After a while,
The last artillery brigade of the 101st Division concentrated all its firepower and launched artillery fire coverage against other troops and weak firepower positions of the Eighth National Army Division.
In addition to the firepower of this artillery brigade, all the grenade launchers of the Japanese army also concentrated all their firepower on the weakest defensive force of the Eighth Division of the National Army, pouring out a ****-like barrage of artillery fire.
war.
Facing the sudden and fierce attack of the Japanese army,
On the command position of the Eighth Division headquarters,
"It's not good!"
"The Japanese 101st Division began to counterattack in areas where our defense forces were weak!"
"Master's seat!"
"Should we pull back a little?"
"Or support weak troops and defense lines?"
When the Japanese 101st Division, under the strong command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, bombarded the weakest defensive position of the 8th Division, the adjutant Cao Ruiming immediately held up the military binoculars to observe the battle in front of the attentive people.
Commander Tao, who was fighting against Liu Feiyang's artillery team and the Japanese artillery team, shouted.
"Hmph! What a fuss!"
"If the Japanese army comes to attack, let him do it!"
"You immediately send a battalion of troops to support the weakly defended positions, and gather all the remaining troops of our 8th Division together. I will personally lead everyone to counterattack the Japanese army!"
"I want to take advantage of Liu Feiyang's artillery team to contain the Japanese field artillery regiment and other artillery teams' bombardment, and give the Japanese 101st Division a surprise!"
"I'm going to kill these bitches and catch them off guard!"
"This is our eighth division's best chance to counterattack!"
“Absolutely not to be missed!”
Facing the panic of the adjutant Cao Ruiming, Commander Tao, the commander of the Eighth Division of the National Army, suddenly retorted excitedly and excitedly.
"..."
Adjutant Cao Ruiming was immediately stunned by Master Tao's bold thinking.
"..."
Chief of Staff Mu Jiangyou was also shocked inside.
Because both he and his adjutant Cao Ruiming were not optimistic about this Yunzaobang counterattack.
Especially after more than half of their 8th Division suffered casualties, they all agreed that it would be good luck to escape with the remaining troops and conduct a quick evacuation.
So they never thought about counterattacking the large-scale Japanese attack.
