Chapter 390 The Japanese Army is also crazy
A deep despair filled the body and heart of the regiment commander, Colonel Shizue Sukekawa. He understood very well what the division commander's order meant, and he held on until the last man.
This is a very clear literal meaning. There will be no reinforcements and no orders to retreat. We can only hold our positions and fight until we die. This is the grave of all the remaining officers and soldiers of the 38th Regiment and ourselves. There will be no hope of life.
The commander of the regiment, Colonel Shizue Sukekawa, was extremely unwilling to accept the consequences. He had managed to lead his troops to escape from the attack of the Chinese army two days ago with all his might, and even sacrificed the 104th Regiment in order to escape.
I didn't expect that it would be my turn to experience the end of the 104th Regiment so soon. It seems that I have used up all the good luck in my life.
The attacking forces of the new 210th Division did not care about the mood of the regiment commander, Colonel Shizue Sukekawa, or not. Now all the officers and soldiers of the attacking forces of the new 210th Division were still advancing step by step towards the defensive position of the th Regiment according to the plan.
The officers and soldiers of the 38th Regiment of the Japanese Army were also defending with all their might. They knew very well that this was a matter of life and death for them, and at this moment they had to use 100% of their strength to fight for that one in ten thousand chance of survival.
However, the Japanese officers and soldiers discovered with some despair that the Chinese offensive forces seemed to be tireless and attacked their defensive positions wave after wave. With the increase in casualties, the defense line of the 38th Regiment, which was already very short of manpower, was now full of loopholes.
The firepower blocking the New 210th Division was getting weaker and weaker. When the firepower on the Japanese defensive positions weakened, the officers and soldiers of the New 210th Division also rushed to the Japanese defensive positions.
After the offensive forces of the new 210th Division rushed onto a part of the defensive positions, the defense line of the 210th Regiment of the Japanese Army was breached. The th Regiment, which was at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, was quickly compressed and surrounded near the regiment headquarters by the offensive forces of the new th Division in hand-to-hand combat.
The regiment commander, Colonel Shizue Sukekawa, and the less than one hundred remaining officers and soldiers were hiding in the regiment headquarters and making their final resistance. All the surviving officers and soldiers of the 38th Regiment knew that this was their grave, which greatly aroused their inner madness.
The officers and soldiers of the new 210th Division's attacking force also witnessed the madness of the Japanese army this time. When people fall into complete despair, they will enter a state of madness. Now the remaining officers and soldiers of the th Regiment are in such a situation.
When officers and soldiers of the New 210th Division began to attack the trenches where the remaining soldiers of the 210th Regiment of the Japanese Army were located along the trenches on the position, Japanese soldiers with white cloth tied on their heads would rush towards the attacking troops of the New th Division holding explosive packs.
It was the first time for the officers and soldiers of the new 210th Division to see the Japanese army in such a crazy state. At first, they were shocked by the suicidal behavior of the Japanese army. In the past, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army were unable to destroy the Japanese tanks due to their backward equipment, and they launched suicidal attacks on the Japanese tanks with explosive packs.
But this time, the officers and soldiers of the new 210th Division were also enlightened. They actually witnessed with their own eyes the suicidal fighting style of the Japanese soldiers. However, after the officers and soldiers recovered, they did not continue the attack, but surrounded the Japanese troops. If the Japanese soldiers came with explosives, they would shoot and knock them down halfway. If the Japanese soldiers did not come out, they would surround them. After a few days of hunger, the Japanese soldiers would not have the energy to jump around anymore.
When the troops of the new 210th Division changed their combat methods, the remaining troops of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army also found that this suicidal attack no longer had any effect, so they stayed quietly in a small position and no longer launched suicidal attacks.
The regiment commander, Colonel Shizueji Sukekawa, looked at his troops of only more than 70 people and felt extremely sad. His 38th Regiment was about to be wiped out. Although the attacking Chinese army did not attack his troops, the trick they were using now was vicious.
The commander of the regiment, Colonel Shizueji Sukekawa, knew that the Chinese army had left him two ways to die. One was to launch a suicidal attack on the Chinese army and be shot to death by the Chinese army halfway. The other was to fight with the Chinese army and then die of starvation or thirst here.
No matter what, he was definitely going to die this time. After thinking for a while, the regiment commander, Colonel Shizue Sukekawa, resolutely chose to fight with the Chinese army first. What if the division commander led his troops to counterattack? He might not be able to survive.
Or what if the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Ogisu Rikuhei, arrives in time with reinforcements? I must not give up.
After the offensive force of the new 210th Division broke through the defensive positions of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army, they left a part of their forces to surround the remaining Japanese troops, while the rest of the offensive forces continued to attack without stopping. They needed to quickly rush into the heart of the Japanese positions and separate the Japanese troops outside the positions from the Japanese troops behind them.
In this way, the Japanese troops can be isolated in relatively small spaces, and then the troops can be concentrated to eat up these isolated Japanese troops bite by bite. If the divided Japanese troops are not small, then they should be surrounded. Anyway, the Japanese troops cannot obtain airdropped supplies in such a small space.
As long as the Japanese army is surrounded for two or three days, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers will be greatly reduced. If an attack is launched at that time, it will be twice as effective with half the effort. This is also the combat method discussed by the chief officers of several troops before the attack began.
The birth of this combat method was also due to the negative attitude of the reinforcement troops led by the 13th Division in the attack, which gave the Chinese troops a lot of room in tactical execution options. This combat plan that could both achieve the combat objectives and greatly reduce casualties among officers and soldiers was successfully born.
The collapse of the 210th Regiment's defense line also led to the collapse of the th Regiment's defense line behind it. The offensive force of the new th Division launched an attack on the position of the Japanese th Regiment from the flank, which disrupted the th Regiment's defense line on the flank.
A battalion of the 210th Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the rear defense position, was directly divided into six positions under the surprise attack of the new th Division. The troops of the Second Army, which was responsible for launching the attack on this section of the defense line, also took advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to rush to the positions and joined in the suppression of the Japanese army.
