Chapter 202 The loss of the Tiger Guard Division and the defeat in battle!
The commander of the 37th Division, Takeshi Arai, saw in the Tiger Guards a threat to the Japanese Empire.
Therefore, Arai Tianwu decided to completely destroy the Tiger Guard Division even if it meant wiping out his 37th Division.
And Takeshi Arai also realized it.
Why did Commander Yoshio Shinozuka want to destroy the Tiger Guard Division so much? Because the Tiger Guard Division was developing too fast.
Of course, these are the thoughts of Takeshi Araiida, the commander of the 37th Division.
In fact, the old Japanese soldier Yoshio Shinozuka did not regard the Tiger Guard Division as a threat at all.
After all, Yoshio Shinozuka is a commander with an army of 100,000 under his command. How could he care about you, the Tiger Guard!
The reason why the old Japanese devil Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to completely destroy the Tiger Guard Division and Zhou Weimin.
That's because Zhou Weimin made the old Japanese soldier Yoshio Shinozuka lose face.
Moreover, Zhou Weimin killed several Japanese nobles in the past six months, especially the eldest son of the Kawaguchi family, the Japanese headquarters.
In Ping'an County, after Zhou Weimin killed Hiraki Yuta of the Hiraki family, he caused big trouble for Shinozuka Yoshio.
The Hiraki family has caused a lot of trouble for Yoshio Shinozuka.
In the end, it was Yoshio Shinozuka's backers who handled the matter in a tough manner.
Although the Hiraki family was dissatisfied, they did not dare to offend Yoshio Shinozuka's backers.
This time, Zhou Weimin killed the eldest son of the Kawaguchi family. The Kawaguchi family was much more powerful than the Hiraki family.
The Hiraki family is only a second-rate family in the Japanese headquarters, but the Kawaguchi family is a first-rate family in the Japanese headquarters.
Therefore, the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka must give an explanation to the Kawaguchi family.
Otherwise, the Kawaguchi family would definitely cause trouble for Yoshio Shinozuka, and then the military career of this old Japanese soldier would be over.
Even if the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka came forward, he might not be able to deal with the Kawaguchi family.
This is why Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to completely eliminate the Tiger Guards and Zhou Weimin.
Of course, no Japanese soldier knew about these things, not even Yoshio Shinozuka's chief of staff, Major General Yusei Tsukawa.
Now all the devils in Jin believe that the reason why Shinozuka Yoshio wants to completely destroy the Tiger Guard Division and Zhou Weimin is because of this.
That’s because of the Tiger Guards Division’s battle record over the past six months.
However, the Tiger Guards rose to prominence too quickly and their record was so impressive that many Japanese soldiers did not believe it.
Even the commander of the 37th Division, Takeshi Arai, didn't believe it at first.
But after several hours of fighting, Arata Takeshi has realized the strength of the Tiger Guard Division.
He also believed that the Tiger Guards Division would threaten the empire's position in Jin in the future, so Shinida Takeshi decided to use all his strength to destroy the Tiger Guards Division and Zhou Weimin.
This is also the main reason why Takeshi Arai launched a full-scale attack this afternoon.
Of course, another reason is that all the forces in Jin are now paying attention to this battle.
If the 37th Division can end this battle quickly, it will also gain greater reputation.
Let’s not talk about what the Japanese think for now.
the other side.
At the Tiger Guard Division Headquarters, Zhou Weimin was losing his temper.
The battle started this morning and more than four hours have passed. However, in these four hours, the Tiger Guard Division has lost nearly four thousand people.
You should know that there are only more than 13,000 people in the Tiger Guards Division in Chidong County.
But nearly four thousand people were lost in just four hours. How could Zhou Weimin not be angry?
"Commander, the Japanese planes bombed us this morning, causing us to lose four heavy artillery units and more than half of our anti-aircraft units."
"Then the Japanese attack caused us to lose two heavy artillery units."
"Now we only have four of our ten heavy artillery units left, and these four are all inside the city."
"There is a heavy artillery unit in each of the east, south, west and north."
"According to reports from various units, our Tiger Guard Division has lost nearly 4,000 men."
"The current deployment of troops is that there are less than 1,500 people at the East Gate of Chidong County, and the same applies to the South Gate and West Gate of Chidong County."
"There are still more than 2,000 people at the north gate of Chidong County."
"Now we..."
Before Xu Hu finished his report, Zhou Weimin interrupted loudly, "Talk about the specific deployment. I want to know exactly which troops are in which positions."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Xu Hu said without hesitation, "The north gate of Chidong County is being defended by the Guard Regiment."
"Currently, the First Battalion of the Guards Regiment has been crippled, but all three fronts are in our hands."
"The Guards Regiment still has more than 2,000 people, but they haven't been able to find the location of the Japanese heavy artillery battalion."
"According to the current situation, the guards regiment can only passively defend. The heavy artillery unit will be bombarded by the Japanese heavy artillery battalion if it fires."
"The east gate of Chidong County is guarded by Liu Feng's First Regiment and First Battalion, while the Second Battalion is defending it."
"We have lost more than 400 people so far. Liu Feng reported that we can stop the enemy's attack."
"The south gate of Chidong County is guarded by Wang Dali's Third Regiment, Second Battalion, and the Third Battalion is defending it."
"We have lost nearly 500 people so far, and Wang Dali has also reported that we can stop the enemy's attack."
"Sun Hu is defending the west gate of Chidong County. The third battalion of the first regiment and the first battalion of the third regiment are both at the west gate."
"Currently, the west gate of Chidong County has suffered the least losses, with more than 300 people lost. Sun Hu reported that it can stop the Japanese attack."
"The Japanese outside the East Gate, South Gate, and West Gate of Chidong County have been attacking all the time, but not as fiercely as the North Gate of Chidong County."
"According to the reports from Liu Feng, Wang Dali, and Sun Hu, the losses outside the east, south, and west gates of Chidong County are greater than theirs."
"The north gate of Chidong County was where the Japanese attacked mainly. The fighting never stopped and was extremely fierce."
"Especially since the Japanese heavy artillery battalion has been bombarding us all the time, the guard regiment has been suppressed by them."
"The Guards Regiment's battle was difficult and the losses were heavy. One-third of the Guards Regiment has been killed or wounded."
"In Chidong County, our troops also include a guard battalion, a reserve battalion, a logistics battalion, and a medical company."
Zhou Weimin's face turned ugly after hearing what Xu Hu said. The battle situation was not favorable to Zhou Weimin.
Originally, Zhou Weimin thought that the Japanese attack would not be so fierce, and thought that the Japanese would at least consume the Tiger Guard Division.
Then, with the weapons and equipment of the Tiger Guard Division, the losses of the Tiger Guard Division would not be too great.
Zhou Weimin also believed that his air defense forces would suppress the Japanese aircraft.
But no one expected that the Japanese planes would launch a suicide attack, causing the air defense forces to lose more than half of their troops.
What was even more unexpected was that the Japanese planes actually broke through the air defense line and bombed four heavy artillery units of the Tiger Guard Division.
The loss of artillery made Zhou Weimin sad for a long time. You know, what the Tiger Guard Division lacks most are officers and artillery!
Another thing is that the guard regiment never observed the Japanese heavy artillery battalion, allowing the Japanese heavy artillery battalion to bombard the guard regiment at will.
