Chapter 478 This is my achievement
The soldiers of the special forces battalion and the suicide squad led by Li Zhengying were responsible for the defense of the main position. Since they had been resting here for more than five hours, their physical strength and energy were the most abundant in the entire New 100th Division. Therefore, Zhang Wenwu handed over the most important main position to them for defense.
Of course, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, had no idea that a new opponent had emerged on the opposite side of Luwu.
Because, according to the judgment of Lieutenant General Imamura Hitoshi, commander of the Japanese Army's 5th Division, if the Chinese army wanted to send combat-capable troops to reinforce Luwu, it would take at least one and a half or two days to arrive. Their side had only attacked Luwu for one day, and it was impossible for the Chinese army's reinforcements to arrive so quickly.
The regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, also let himself and the officers and soldiers in the army have a good rest at night. After all, the officers and soldiers were very tired after fighting for a whole day. Moreover, after a day, the artillery troops that were moving at a snail's pace on the Yongqin Highway are expected to reach their side by tomorrow morning. By then, they will be able to organize their troops to launch an effective offensive to break through the defense line of the Chinese army on the Luwu side.
During the last attack, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, noticed that the firepower on the opposing Chinese army's defense line had weakened a lot, which meant that the Chinese army had suffered heavy casualties. Without reinforcements, his Second Regiment should be able to successfully break through the Chinese army's defense line on the Luwu side tomorrow morning.
Then continue marching northward along the Yongqin Highway for half a day, and you will reach Kunlun Pass. In this way, your Second Regiment will be able to gain the greatest merit in this battle. You must know that the First Regiment is still fighting fiercely with the Chinese government's newly formed 22nd Division in Liutang. It is impossible for them to make such progress as your Second Regiment. After all, the First Regiment is facing the Chinese government's direct troops with tanks and armored vehicles. It is undoubtedly very difficult to quickly break through the Chinese government's direct troops' defense line in Liutang.
But his Second Regiment was different. He had figured out the troops defending Luwu after a day of attack. Luwu was defended by only the 175th Division of the Guangxi clique, which had been crippled before. From weapons and equipment to the number of personnel, it could not be compared with the New 22nd Division of the Chinese government. Facing such an opponent, if his Second Regiment still could not achieve good results, he felt it was really unacceptable.
Therefore, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, has made up his mind that after getting up tomorrow morning, he will have all officers and soldiers engage in the attack and try to break the defense line of the 175th Division of the Guangxi Clique in Luwu in one go. He cannot give the Chinese army too much time. If the reinforcements of the Chinese army arrive at noon, the difficulty of his subsequent operations will increase a lot.
When the morning sun shone on the camp of the 2nd Regiment of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, woke up from his sleep. The orderly had already prepared clean water and placed it in the tent of Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, so that Colonel Nobuyoshi could wash up after getting up.
The commander of the second regiment, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, washed his face carefully, and then looked at the command knife hanging beside the camp bed. He suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. He felt that this morning's attack would definitely break through the defense line of the Chinese army on the opposite side. At such an important moment, he should lead by example and establish a tall and mighty image in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the second regiment.
Moreover, according to the defense strength of the Chinese army in the last attack yesterday, this attack should not be too dangerous. Thinking about the last attack yesterday, if the officers and soldiers of our attacking force had not been too tired, we might have broken through the Chinese army's defense line in Luwu yesterday.
When Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, the commander of the Second Regiment, thought of yesterday's attack, he felt a little regretful, but he quickly adjusted his mood, because it would not be long before the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment, who had rested well and were fully refreshed, would break through the defense line of the Chinese army, and he would be able to successfully send a victory report to Lieutenant General Hitoshi Imamura, the commander of the Fifth Division.
After washing up, the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, took his command knife and walked out of the tent. He came to the regiment headquarters nearby and listened to the current situation of the troops. When he learned that the artillery units moving slowly on the Yongqin Highway had only sent ten artillery pieces so far, the regiment commander, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, waved his hand indifferently.
The commander of the regiment, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, felt that the support of ten artillery pieces was enough. After fighting for a whole day yesterday, he did not find that the Chinese army on the opposite side had a single artillery piece to suppress his attacking forces. Facing the Chinese army with such simple equipment, the attack of ten artillery pieces was already a great advantage. What's more, he still had planes in the air to support his troops' attack.
In order to break through the defense line of the Chinese army in the morning attack, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nobuyoshi Watanabe, set the time of the attack at nine o'clock in the morning. This would allow the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment more time to prepare and rest.
The commander of the regiment, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, summarized the reasons for yesterday's unfavorable combat. That was because he was too anxious to break through the Chinese army's defense line in Luwu, and ignored the fatigue of the officers and soldiers. As a result, the troops were unable to exert their full strength when attacking, which allowed the Chinese army to hold the defense line.
Today, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, warned himself that he must not rush for success, but must make good preparations before the attack and allow the officers and soldiers to get enough rest. He was confident that he could break through the Chinese army's defense line in Luwu with a fierce attack.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, ordered the artillery unit to begin bombarding the Chinese army's positions, and he personally led the officers and soldiers of the entire Second Regiment to launch an attack.
It must be said that after a night's rest, the mental outlook of the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment was indeed very different from yesterday. In addition, the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Nobuyoshi, personally led the charge, which made all the officers and soldiers scream with excitement, as if they had already broken through the defense line of the Rikuya Chinese army.
