Chapter 103 Reinforcement of Shimen Town

Shimen Town is also the first location where the Sichuan Army went to reinforce after entering Jin Province in history.

A part of Zeng Wanzhong's 7th Division stationed here after Wensaburo Kawagishi dispatched sharp soldiers to make a detour.

Due to the urgent front of Niangziguan, the troops in Shimen Town were empty.

The little devil's troops captured Shimen Town very easily.

After Shimen Town was broken by the little devils, Huang Shaohong was very anxious and hurriedly dispatched the Sichuan Army for reinforcements.

Deng Xihou looked at Shimen Town!
After a while, he grinned and said, "Shimen Town is located on the side of Niangziguan."

"According to the little devil's routine, this must be the focus of the devil's flanking detour."

The 22nd Army, before entering Jin Province, was also studying the tactics of the little devils.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Deng Xihou could tell at a glance that the devil would definitely take a detour from two wings.

"Yu Hua!"

Immediately afterwards, Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua.

"In the direction of Niangziguan, what is the number and number of the little devils?"

Yu Hua got up and came to the map, "Commander-in-Chief!"

"According to the intelligence from the front!"

"In the direction of Niangziguan, the little devil has three divisions, namely the 20th division, the 108th division, and the 109th division!"

"There are more than 7 devils!"

Speaking of this, Yu Hua paused for a moment and looked at everyone: "Among them, the 20th Division is the devil's permanent division, and its combat effectiveness is very strong."

"This division is the troops stationed in North Korea, and it has just been transferred to the Far East battlefield."

"This division has a complete range of arms, so we must treat it with care."

"As for the 108th Division and the 109th Division, these two divisions are newly created special divisions by the devils, and their combat effectiveness is slightly worse than that of the permanent divisions."

"However, compared to the Sichuan army, they are still giants, and we cannot take it lightly."

Immediately, Yu Hua talked about the equipment of the Devil Division.

Generally speaking, a four-unit division of a little devil has more than 200 to 300 grenadiers and [-] light machine guns.

重机枪80多挺到90多挺，炮兵联队拥有山炮12到16门，野炮36门，速射炮8到16门。

Among them, the artillery wing of the permanent division also has 12 105mm howitzers.

Most of the generals of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army gasped when they heard this.

The little devil's equipment is really fucking scary.

This is completely higher than the Sichuan Army by several grades. Even the direct-line German weapon masters in the hands of Principal Chang can't compete with the little devil's division!
Even the Sichuan army is changing clothes now.

However, facing such a powerful devil soldier, many generals were still a little apprehensive.

The gazes of Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were like thunder and lightning.

He looked at many generals.

"Everyone!"

"Our Sichuan army used to fight in the province, but now we are fighting a national war, and we must be worthy of the country and the nation."

"So what if the little devil has powerful troops and weapons?"

"Could it be...we are willing to be bullied by devils?"

"The little devil is the sworn enemy of our nation. This time, everyone must have the determination to kill the enemy and serve the country."

Deng Xihou said the taste, picked up the teacup and drank water.

Sun Zhen on the side went on to say: "Our 22nd Army is going out to fight against Sichuan. I will announce the rules below."

"In the battle with devils!"

"Our Sichuan army must not be humiliated by orders, be steadfast in the face of difficulties, not retreat when wounded, and not surrender when captured!"

Suddenly, in the office, all the generals of the Sichuan Army shouted slogans.

After everything is ready!

Deng Xihou ordered that the whole army be ready, and he personally generated electricity for Huang Shaohong.

The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army will rush to Shimen Town in person.

Huang Shaohong, who was far away in Jinyang, saw his adjutant bring Deng Xihou's telegram.

He's a little confused?

Niangziguan was fighting head-on, and he was fighting fiercely. He originally intended to get the Shangchuan army to join the front.

However, now the Sichuan army has taken the initiative to go to the flank of Niangziguan.

If Deng Xihou's telegram did not clearly state the strategic intention of the Sichuan Army, Huang Shaohong would have suspected that the Sichuan Army wanted to preserve its strength.

"map!"

Huang Shaohong shouted, and his adjutant immediately took out the map.

Seeing Shimen Town, Huang Shaohong grinned and said, "Shimen Town, which army is stationed now?"

The adjutant looked through the roster, "Commander, Shimen Town is now under the defense of Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army."

"However, there is a lot of pressure on Niangziguan, and most of the troops stationed here have already been transferred."

"At the moment there is only one regiment stationed!"

"Hurry up and generate electricity for Zeng Wanzhong!" Huang Shaohong said loudly: "Shimen Town needs to strengthen its vigilance."

"Immediately pay attention to the devil troops on the mountain path."

"Kawagishi Bunzaburo is very likely to send troops to detour from Shimen Town."

"Yes!" The adjutant saluted and left.

Huang Shaohong sat down on the chair, he hoped that there was still time for his decision.

I also ignored the location of Shimen Town.

According to the routine of the little devil, Fumisaburo Kawagishi probably started to make a flank detour.

The location of Shimen Town is dangerous!
Now I am sending a warning message, hoping that Zeng Wanzhong can stick to it.

The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, Huang Shaohong ordered it to reinforce Shimen Town.

Be sure to block the ghost soldiers who are turning around on the flanks.

Keep the flanks of Niangziguan!

The 122nd Division and the 124th Division took the train from Zhaojia Village to Shimen Town.

Yu Hua led the reinforcement company and the guard company, still serving as the forward of the Sichuan Army.

The Zeng Wanzhong Department of the 3rd Army received orders from Huang Shaohong.

Zeng Wanzhong immediately dispatched a reinforcement battalion to reinforce Shimen Town.

And at the moment Shimen Town.

The Hashimoto detachment has already arrived outside the city without anyone noticing.

Fujita Nakasa stood beside Hashimoto Ryuji.

"Your Excellency, the artillery unit is ready."

"Now awaiting your order."

Outside Shimen Town!

Hashimoto Ryuji was using a telescope to observe the defense lines of the Republic of China troops.

The army in front of them defended the county seat by occupying the high ground outside the city, and then set up a defense line on the city defense.

Such a line of defense, in Hashimoto Ryuji's view.

You can't stop your team at all.

Only the Sudden Enlightenment Temple in Shanghai, the new street fighting used by the Sichuan army, made Ryuji Hashimoto suffer.

"Order!"

As soon as Hashimoto Ryuji spoke, Fujita immediately stood up.

"Artillery unit, let me bomb the defense line of the Republic of China army for 10 minutes."

Although the Hashimoto detachment is called a detachment, its organization is a brigade.

Its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

In the devil's army, the detachment is a temporary special organization formed to perform specific combat tasks.

It is mainly to draw part of the troops in the field division as the backbone force, and to assign some special arms.

Form an independent campaign group, and after the battle, the troops in the detachment will return to the formation.

Generally speaking, when the devil's detachment has the largest organization, it is one brigade, and at least two infantry brigades.

The commander of the devil detachment, the highest position is a major general, and the lowest position is a major.

The name of the detachment is often named after the commander.

The Hashimoto detachment is organized at the brigade level.

The brigade and regiment headquarters directly under the jurisdiction of two mountain artillery squadrons, infantry artillery squadrons, and rapid-fire artillery squadrons.

The mountain artillery squadron is equipped with the Type 75 [-]mm mountain artillery, and the infantry artillery squadron is equipped with the Type [-] infantry artillery.

The rapid-fire gun squadron is a 37mm rapid-fire gun!
The mountain artillery squadron and the infantry artillery squadron quickly set up artillery positions.

In addition, there are two standard artillery regiments, and artillery positions have also been set up.

Dozens of cannons were erected, and their long muzzles were aimed directly at Shimen Town.
