Chapter 346
On December 12, 1908, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was as clear as clouds.
For professional soldiers like Lin Nandong who like to see blood, this is another good day suitable for fighting and killing Japanese invaders.
What is depressing is that Lin Nandong, who got up very early, held a telescope and stood at a high place in the town until 9:30 in the morning. There was no sign of an attack from the Japanese army.
"Teacher Commander, the Japanese army is now relying on the small village ahead to build simple fortifications." Cao Lida, chief of staff of the 1st Brigade, frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Japanese army has gained a memory after being frustrated yesterday and will not launch an attack rashly today."
Lin Nandong was already very upset, and he was furious when he heard this and cursed angrily: "His grandma's man got up so early today, and he was ready to wait for the little Japanese to kick the door, but it was in vain."
Political Commissar Liang Li advised: "Sir, please be calm, please don't be impatient. Will the Japanese have repaired the fortifications and no worries before launching an attack?"
"No," Lin Nandong shook his head and inferred: "The commander of the little Japanese is not a fool. After yesterday's two battles, he knew that with their little force, even if they ate us, they would have to pay the entire regiment. Therefore, they took the defensive and prepared to wait until the subsequent troops arrived before launching an attack."
"I agree with the division commander's judgment," Chief of Staff Cao Lida echoed.
Lin Nandong continued: "Our offensive plan is based on the Japanese attack. If the Japanese army does not move and rely on the simple fortifications built to defend, then, with their heavy machine gun firepower, no matter how many of us are, we will have no choice but to do anything to them for a while."
"Yes," Chief of Staff Cao Lida continued: "If we attack hard, the losses will be secondary. If the Japanese army is allowed to show their might, shake the morale of our army and destroy the future combat plan, then we will be unbearable."
Lin Nandong put down his telescope and said decisively: "You must not attack the Chief of Staff, I decided to change my plan. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, you will immediately generate electricity to the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, so that they will stop their actions and prevent the Japanese army from discovering traces. In addition, report to the division headquarters and tell the division commander that I will rush to the division headquarters to explain everything."
After saying that, Lin Nandong ignored Liang Li, a political commissar who had a wry smile, rushed straight to the hill behind Sota Town.
At 10:14, Lin Nandong rushed to the command post of the division headquarters. After seeing the division commander Aaron Kwok-ming, he was scolded by Aaron Kwok-ming before he could speak.
After Aaron Kwok finished his training, political commissar Zhuge Changjie continued to train: "Brig Commander Lin Nandong, you have changed the offensive plan without authorization. Without the approval of the division headquarters, you will command the commander at the same level at the same level. I will first remember you a major demerit."
After listening with a bitter face, Lin Nandong saw that the teacher Aaron Kwok-ming secretly winked at him. He knew that the matter had been revealed, so he put forward his views and suggestions.
After hearing this, Aaron Kwok nodded and said, "Your Brigade Chief of Staff Song Ping has sent a telegram to report it. Your opinion makes sense. However, you must not act so recklessly in the future. This time, it is a big mistake."
"I am the teacher. I will follow the rules and follow the orders in the future." Lin Nandong said righteously.
When the political commissar Zhuge Changjie saw Lin Nandong accepting the criticism, he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Okay, Brigade Commander Lin, now you can talk about your new plan. Haha, if you can solve the 7th Regiment in front of you before the main Japanese army arrives, you will be able to defeat your merits and demerits and let you go."
Lin Nandong's face relaxed and said loudly: "Teacher Commander, Political Commissar, and the main force of the Japanese 9th Division will arrive tomorrow. The two independent regiments cannot stop the Japanese army's pace at all. We not only need to fight quickly, but also not lose too much. Therefore, I believe that only through night attacks and sieges can we win this battle."
Zhuge Changjie frowned and said, "However, the night attack was not the director of our army. In addition, the Japanese army was very strict in defense. If the attack in chaos, the losses would definitely be far greater than that of the Japanese army."
"Nandong, do you have any plan? Come and listen quickly," Aaron Kwok urged.
Lin Nandong said confidently: "Teacher Commander and Political Commissar, didn't the headquarters send a Juesheng brigade composed of more than 200 deaf and mute people?"
Aaron Kwok's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, this Juesheng brigade has undergone special military training and is good at night sneak attacks. The headquarters hopes that they can get training here. Nandong, what you mean is to let them serve as the vanguard of night attacks and create chaos within the enemy, right?"
Lin Nandong nodded and said, "Yes, the commander of the division, my plan is that at 3 a.m. tomorrow, Juesheng Brigade will attack the Seventh Regiment of the Japanese Army at night. After the Japanese army fell into chaos, our Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions will attack the Seventh Regiment with an absolute advantage in numbers and launch a general attack on the Seventh Regiment in one fell swoop."
Aaron Kwok said happily: "Fine, follow this plan and attack from all sides, and wipe out the Seventh Japanese Regiment in front of Sota Town."
...
On December 13, at 3:30 in the morning, the officers and soldiers of the Deaf and Mute Juesheng Brigade were divided into two teams. They held big swords and spears, used the cover of the night to lie down and quietly approached the Japanese side fortifications.
The Japanese army went deep into the ground alone, and their guards were vigilant and responsible, which was by no means comparable to the garbage-like Indonesian army.
At around four o'clock in the morning, Ning Feixing, the captain of Juesheng Brigade, took the lead in entering the Japanese position and killed four Japanese soldiers. Two gunshots came not far from the left. Suddenly, there was chaos in the Japanese camp, and the sound of the Japanese shouting was endless.
**The army was not good at going out. Who exposed her journey so quickly? Ning Feixing cursed secretly, and quickly took out a signal gun from his arms, raised his hand and shot two shots into the air.
Then, Ning Feixing made a gesture and led the deaf and mute soldiers around him to speed up and fight towards the center of the Japanese position.
After the signal gun was fired, more than 2,000 brigade officers and soldiers holding torches rushed out of Sota Town, shouting loudly towards the small village where the Japanese army was located.
At the same time, the Second and Third Brigades, which had already moved to nearby areas, also sent more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the other three directions to attack the Japanese army.
The Seventh Japanese Regiment was in chaos at this time, and the peripheral heavy machine gun positions were "taken care" by Juesheng soldiers, and they were completely paralyzed at this time. Therefore, more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the China-Indian reorganized division held up torches and entered the Japanese camp from all directions without any obstacles.
Under the four-sided attacks between deaf and mute soldiers and more than 8,000 Chinese-Indian reorganized division officers and soldiers, after about four hours of fierce fighting, at 7:45 am, the entire Japanese Seventh Regiment was wiped out.
The corps captain of the regiment, Colonel Kimura Saburo, who was so energetic when he set out, was shot to death by Ning Feixing, the captain of the Juesheng Brigade.
In the end, all the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Japanese Regiment were burned out by fire, and their bodies remained...
