The 4th Division of the Japanese Army fought passively, and no one was killed in a reinforcement squadron sent by the Japanese Army, only a few soldiers were injured.
These injured soldiers were not injured during the battle, but because they accidentally fell while marching at night.
These dependent soldiers were exaggerated and included in the casualty report. A few people were injured and turned into dozens of casualties.
In order to deal with the North China Command, Yusaburo Matsui hastily submitted a casualty report.
This report is very detailed. The 4th Wing of the 70th Division fought with the security regiment, causing 313 casualties.
In addition to reporting the casualties, Matsui Yusaburo also had people brag about how brave the troops were in battle in the telegram.
The 39th Regiment was annihilated and Taierzhuang was lost. The generals of the Japanese Army Command were very annoyed by this.
Before, the 10th Division had reported the passive operations of the 4th Division to the headquarters, and the generals of the Japanese Army Command knew very well that the casualty report of the 4th Division was completely fabricated.
The generals of the Japanese Army Command were angry, but there was nothing they could do about the hob meat of the 4th Division.
In the end, the North China Command of the Japanese Army had no choice but to criticize the 4th Division's unfavorable operations in the telegram, and there was no other accountability and punishment.
Isoya Rensuke sent a telegram to the headquarters to report to the 4th Division, but in the end the headquarters just turned a blind eye and closed one eye.
Twenty kilometers away from Taierzhuang, the joint headquarters of the 5th Division and the 10th Division.
"Baga, the 4th Division is simply a waste division. Such a unit is really a disgrace to Japan. I want to go to the emperor to sue Yusaburo Matsui, a businessman who is a waste!!!"
Isoya Rensuke, an old devil, was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He kept yelling at the 4th Division in the headquarters.
The devil generals of the 10th Division did not dare to go forward to persuade the furious Isoya Rensuke.
The yelling continued for a while, Seishiro Itagaki walked up to Rensuke Isoya, and persuaded him: "Mr. Isoya, calm down, Yusaburo Matsui has always fought passively, and the whole division has the same virtue, it is like a mess."
"The headquarters asked the 4th Division to support us in attacking Taierzhuang. This is really a wrong battle plan. The 4th Division is unreliable. Only the 5th and 10th Divisions of you and me can jointly conquer Taierzhuang."
Isotani Rensuke slowly calmed down. The 39th Regiment was gone, and Taierzhuang was also lost. The matter has come to this point, and the top priority is to regroup and fight Taierzhuang again.
The 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army held a military meeting and formulated a combat plan to attack Taierzhuang...
4Chapter 16 Guarding Taierzhuang ([-])
the next day.
Early in the morning, the battalions and companies of the security regiment went to the headquarters to report to Li Hong the defense situation of the position, as well as the deployment of troops and firepower.
"Report to the regiment, the first battalion has established a defensive position outside the city, and there are air defenses!"
"Reporting group, the second has established a defensive position outside the city, and the anti-aircraft artillery position has also been established!"
"Report to the regiment, the artillery battalion has established artillery positions inside and outside the city!"
……
While listening to his subordinates' reports, Li Hong took the towel from the orderly and wiped his face.
After he finished washing, suddenly, there was a deep, dull sound of gunfire.
"Tom, tom, tom..."
The gunfire came from outside the Nancheng, and the noisy gunshots could be heard faintly.
After Li Hong finished washing, the communication soldier came over after answering the phone.
"Regiment seat, the frontline sentry reports that the Japanese army has launched an attack on the front position of the 13th Division!"
Li Hong nodded, stuffed a steamed bun in his mouth, and walked out of the headquarters with the binoculars.
The rest of the officers stood outside the headquarters, also holding up binoculars to observe, their eyes cast on the battlefield in the distance.
The sight of the telescope turned to the south direction, more than ten kilometers away, the shells flew across the scope with flames, and the air was filled with gunpowder smoke.
Dozens of devils' chariots advanced from several directions, and the devils' soldiers attacked the front position of the 13th division in a dense mass.
The little devil's attack was very hasty, and he didn't even have time to dispatch the plane.
**The 13th Division is the old base of the Northwest Army. The combat style of this unit is very fierce. However, their weapons and equipment are average.
Weapons and equipment on the battlefield are weaker than the opponent, and can only be filled with the lives of soldiers.
Although the 13th Division is leading the charge, Li Hong does not intend to stand by and watch. Even giving the opponent a little firepower can relieve the pressure on the 13th Division.
Li Hong moved the binoculars in his hand and carefully observed the battle situation in each frontier position of the 13th Division.
Chen Lin stared at the battlefield ahead with his binoculars, frowned and said, "The little devil will attack fiercely as soon as he comes up. With the firepower of the weapons of the 13th Division, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold the forward position."
Fifth Battalion Commander Zhou Wenxun went on to say: "The little devils haven't dispatched their planes yet, and the 13th Division lacks anti-aircraft weapons. Once the devils dispatch their planes, the officers and soldiers of the 13th Division will be even more passive."
"Bear bastard!"
"Yes, Tuan Zuo!"
Xiong Erdan put down the binoculars and walked up to Li Hong.
"Mobilize a rocket artillery platoon immediately, and then adjust two anti-aircraft artillery squads to support the 13th Division!"
"Yes, group seat!"
Xiong Erdan saluted, and immediately rushed back to his artillery battalion headquarters.
Li Hong turned around, called Chen Lin again, and asked, "Chen Lin, didn't your armored battalion seize a batch of Japanese weapons and equipment yesterday?"
Chen Lin replied: "Tuan Zuo, the number of seized weapons and equipment has not yet been counted."
"There is no need to count the weapons and equipment of those devils. They will be sent to the 13th Division immediately, and ten anti-aircraft machine guns will be transferred from your battalion warehouse."
"Yes, group seat!"
Chen Lin turned around and immediately went to do what Li Hong told him.
The 13th Division has the weapons and equipment of the security regiment, even if it cannot withstand the two elite devil divisions, at least the little devils will not win too smoothly, and the enemy will inevitably pay more casualties.
The officers and soldiers of the 13th Division fought fiercely with the devils outside Nancheng for half an hour. Suddenly, there was the sound of an airplane engine.
"Om, oom, oom—"
Dozens of Devil bombers roared in formation under the cover of fighter jets.
The Devils' flying troops knew that the 13th Division's air defense firepower was weak, and the Devils had conducted ground fire reconnaissance, so the Devils' pilots were not worried about the 13th Division's air defense forces at all.
A few minutes later, the devil's bomber group flew over the south of the city.
