Not only that, Adachi Kantoshi even moved his regiment headquarters to the east bank of the Sitang River to stay with the 1st Infantry and 3rd Infantry Brigade, but left Aono Ryuta to stay on the west bank of the Sitang River to command the 2nd Infantry Brigade. The brigade will wait until early tomorrow morning to launch a pincer offensive from both east and west coasts towards the south gate position of Baoshan County.
In the dead of night, Adachi Kantoshi was inspecting the position for the last time.
There is a large wetland or swamp on the east bank of the Sitang River. To the north of the swamp is the road. You can go east along the road to Wusong Fort. To the north of the road is the south gate of Baoshan County. Because the north of the road is too close to Baoshan County, it is easy to It was bombarded by the defenders in the city, so the 25th Infantry Regiment could only camp next to the swamp in the south.
Adachi Kantoshi walked back and forth along the north bank of the swamp twice, but he never thought that hundreds of elite Chinese soldiers would be hidden in the large swamp next to their station!
After walking back and forth to the station for two times and finding that there was no problem, Adachi Kantoshi returned to his tent and slept. After all, this old devil was also fifty years old. After two consecutive days of high-intensity combat operations, he had already I was exhausted, so I fell asleep immediately as soon as I fell on the blanket.
By midnight the next day, most of the Japanese crossing the river were asleep.
The Songhu Independent Regiment in Baoshan City was more cooperative tonight and did not send out a small group of troops to attack like last night. Therefore, the Japs of the 25th Infantry Regiment slept relatively well. However, these little Japs did not expect that something unusual would happen. They must be monsters. The Songhu Independent Regiment did not engage in small-scale harassment battles like yesterday, but it was to give the Japanese a hard time!
In the complete silence, a gentle sound of water suddenly sounded in the depths of the silent Sitang swamp. Under the dim starlight, one could vaguely see black shadows slowly squirming from the swamp, and then sat up, yes Yes, there were indeed figures sitting up from the swamp, and then slowly and silently moving towards the shore.
These hundreds of black figures walking out of the swamp are none other than Yue Zhensheng's third company commander.
Since early this morning, Yue Zhensheng has selected 400 of the most elite veterans from the third company, and then took advantage of the darkest time before dawn to sneak into the Sitang swamp to hide, and then they spent the whole day in the swamp. After crossing the border, they were really cold and hungry now, but this still couldn't suppress the burning fighting spirit in their chests!
Yue Zhensheng touched his face, wiped off the mud on his face, then took out the rice ball from the oil paper bag and took a bite. People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry. The war is about to break out. If you don't hurry up and eat, It's not enough to get some food and replenish some strength, otherwise you will suffer a loss when you fight with the bayonet later.
After eating a few rice balls, my strength immediately recovered.
Yue Zhensheng untied the long package again, first unwrapped the skin, then unwrapped the inner layer of oil paper, then took out the Thompson submachine gun and bayonet wrapped in several layers of oil paper, and first put the submachine gun on his back. , then put the bayonet in his mouth, and touched the edge of the swamp with one foot deep and one shallow.
Behind Yue Zhensheng, more than 400 elite veterans, like more than 400 devils from hell, followed Yue Zhensheng, the devil king, silently forward. Under the miserable starlight, each of them showed their bayonets and submachine guns. , just like the devil opened its bloody mouth, revealing its cold, bloodthirsty fangs.
Suddenly, Yue Zhensheng stopped and raised his right hand.
The more than 400 elite veterans who followed behind them all stopped.
Not far ahead, a Japanese soldier who had woken up from the night was standing on the edge of the swamp. The little Japanese had just finished urinating. The moment he turned around and returned to the tent, he seemed to hear a faint sound of water in his ears. That sound, There was a sound like someone or an animal wading in the water, and the little devil immediately turned around and listened.
Listening carefully, but no sound was heard again. The little devil shook his head and prepared to walk back. However, after taking only two steps, the little devil heard the sound again. Now this little devil was embarrassed. , conveniently picked up the 38-inch cover placed next to the tent, and then walked over to the swamp shore.
This little devil never thought that there would be someone hiding in the swamp. He thought it was a big fish!
Before coming to China, this little devil had heard that there were giant salamanders in the swamps of China and they were very delicious! Maybe I could catch a giant salamander tonight, which would be a blessing. Thinking of this, the little devil didn't give up when he got to the shore. He took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and went straight into the swamp.
Using the flashlight, I walked forward for almost ten meters, but still found nothing.
Moreover, the sound of water just now disappeared again, and the entire swamp was completely silent.
For no reason, the Jaap soldier felt frightened, and immediately turned around and walked back. But when he turned around, the Jaap soldier was surprised to find that there was suddenly a black shadow in front of him. It seemed as if the black shadow had been standing there for a long time. , blocking his way back. Surprised, the Japanese instinctively wanted to shout.
However, before the poor little devil could cry out, a big hand like a cattail fan reached out from behind and covered his mouth and nose. The little devil could no longer scream and could only make a slight sound. There was a squeaking sound, and then, a gleaming bayonet was held against the Japanese's throat. There was only a squeaking sound, and the Japanese's throat was completely cut open.
The black figure wiped the devil's throat with a knife, then put his hand on the devil's head and pulled it back slightly. The wound in the devil's throat immediately burst open, and blood shot out like arrows. After a while, , the little devil's blood was almost drained, and his whole body became limp like mud.
Yue Zhensheng cut the little devil's throat with a knife, then grabbed the devil's head, just like bleeding a chicken after killing it. He bled the little devil for more than ten seconds. When the little devil's body completely collapsed, he let go and killed the little devil. The little devil's body was slowly put into the swamp. In just a moment, the swamp mud had already submerged the devil's body.
After waiting for another moment, and making sure that no other Japs were discovered, Yue Zhensheng waved his hand again, and continued to lead more than 400 elite veterans through the muddy water of the swamp, and continued to quietly approach the Japs' camp. After a while, Yue Zhensheng was the first to arrive. On the shore, when his feet touched the solid ground on the shore, Yue Zhensheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
When I looked up again, I saw that the entire Japanese camp was immersed in silence. In addition to a large number of sentries facing Baoshan County and Wusong Fort, and patrol teams patrolling continuously, there was no defense in their direction. The Japanese apparently did not expect that an enemy would attack them from the swamp.
After all, the Seventh Division has been away from the battlefield for a long time and is not vigilant enough!
If this had been replaced by a field division that had fought against the Chinese Army in the Chinese battlefield, it would have never been possible to leave such a big flaw when camping at night. If it had been replaced by the previous 9th Division or 20th Division , even if they don't have one post every three steps or one sentry every five steps along the swamp bank, they will definitely add a large number of sentries!
Unfortunately, there are never what-ifs on the battlefield, only cruel facts!
Behind Yue Zhensheng, more than 400 elite veterans of the Third Company also came to the shore one after another. Immediately afterwards, they formed a group of three people, two of them carried bayonets in their mouths as the leader, and the remaining one stayed behind with a submachine gun. In a blink of an eye, , more than a dozen groups had already submerged into the little devil's tent.
Yue Zhensheng was the first to get into a kid's tent. It was a square-roofed tent, that is, a large tent. There were at least twenty little Japs lying on the ground inside. Of course, the Japs didn't really sleep on the ground. Instead, it was covered with a blanket, and there was a felt cushion under the blanket. The little devil's individual equipment was very complete.
The Japs in the tent were divided into two rows. Yue Zhensheng and another veteran who entered the tent naturally separated to the left and right, each responsible for the sleeping man on one side. In the darkness, Yue Zhensheng quietly touched the Japs closest to him, and the Japs snored. It was louder than a pig, and Yue Zhensheng completed the positioning easily.
First he stretched out his hand to cover the devil's mouth and nose, and then, before the devil was awakened, he stabbed his right hand into the heart. The little devil only twitched a few times in Yue Zhensheng's arms and then collapsed. After a moment, Yue Zhensheng let go of the devil. , pulled out the bayonet and touched the second Japanese, and then continued the same process.
In just a few minutes, all the more than twenty sleeping Japanese were eliminated.
More than twenty Japanese were all stabbed through the heart by a knife in their sleep. They didn't even feel the pain, and they all returned to Japan Island.
The curtain was raised, and the veteran guarding outside the tent looked anxiously. Under the dark night, they saw Yue Zhensheng and another veteran covered in blood. They looked like they had just crawled out of the blood pool, covered with blood. Evil spirit! Yue Zhensheng made a gesture, and the three of them immediately and quietly moved towards the next tent.
The killing was carried out quietly under the cover of night.
Although these four hundred veterans of the third company are not members of the Wolf Fang, they are all elites who have crawled out of the dead. They are the best in terms of conscious reaction and individual combat power! Coupled with the fact that the 25th Infantry Regiment had been sparse and unprepared for a long time, a tragic end was doomed.
The two infantry brigades that crossed the Sitang River, with more than 2,000 Japanese, were almost completely killed by Yue Zhensheng and the others! This was exactly the same as the snowy night surprise attack of the 29th Army's Sword Squadron during the Great Wall War of Resistance. However, the 29th Army's Sword Squadron killed more than 6,000 Japanese in one night, almost three times as many as Yue Zhensheng and the others!
This nighttime surprise attack, carefully planned by Wu Liang and Yue Zhensheng, went smoothly beyond imagination. It was not until the end, when they were packing up tents near several sentries, that the Japs' sentries were finally alerted, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides. Then, the main force of the Second Battalion also pressed over from the south gate of Baoshan and launched a side attack on the Japanese.
