Quartermasters can also fight the devils

At this time, the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army was only a few dozen meters away from the position of the 171st Regiment guarding the north gate of Changde City. When the Japanese bombers dropped more than ten bombs in succession on the defensive positions of the 171st Regiment,

However, more than half of the bombs dropped by the Japanese bombers were dropped on the attacking forces of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, killing and injuring dozens of them on the spot. At the same time, they also helped the officers and soldiers of the 171st Regiment to repel the fierce attack of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army.

Seeing that his own attacking troops were actually bombed by his own planes and suffered heavy casualties, including this attack, the commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Kurose Heiichi, who was observing the battle situation with a telescope not far behind, was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Baka, the air force is full of rubbish, are they all blind? How could they bomb our attacking forces? I will send these rubbish to a military court and make them serve as the suicide squad on the Pacific battlefield, rubbish!" Colonel Heiichi Kurose, commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, yelled at the Japanese bombers in the sky.

It may be that the curse of Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, was too loud, and the pilots in the air heard it. Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, was actually going to sue them in the military court and send them to the Pacific battlefield as a volunteer team.

Then, something happened that made the commander of the 133rd Wing of the Japanese Army, Colonel Kurose Heiichi, even more devastated. While the angry shouts of Colonel Kurose Heiichi were still echoing in the air, several more Japanese fighter planes dived down and began to dive and strafed the line where Colonel Kurose Heiichi was located.

Looking at the fighter planes diving towards his line, Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Wing of the Japanese Army, had a face full of black lines. This damn air force pilot wanted to kill him to silence him. Although he cursed in his heart, Colonel Kurose Heiichi's legs were still very honest. He quickly ran to a nearby civilian house and found a big pit to temporarily avoid the threat from his own air force.

Only after several dive-and-strafe fighters of his own finished their strafing and happily flew away in formation did the commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Kurose Taira, climbed out of the puddle beside the civilian houses. However, when Colonel Kurose Taira, commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, looked at the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers killed by his own fighters, he almost went crazy and turned around on the spot to send a telegram to Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, to accuse the Air Force of the crimes.

In fact, Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Wing of the Japanese Army, knew very well that this time he could not entirely blame the poor bombing skills of the air force pilots. The main reason was that his 133rd Wing was already in a melee with the Chinese army. Even if the bomber pilots dropped their bombs accurately, there was no guarantee that they would not accidentally injure their own people.

After seeing the telegram sent by Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Regiment, Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang automatically filtered out the matter that the Air Force planes accidentally injured their own people. Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, commander of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, felt that there would be casualties in a war. For Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, commander of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, what he valued most was what Colonel Kurose Heiichi, commander of the 133rd Regiment, said in the telegram, that the 133rd Regiment had attacked the north gate of Changde City.

However, what is interesting is that after receiving a battle situation telegram from Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, on the evening of the 28th, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, announced that the 133rd Regiment had entered Changde City on the 28th. However, in fact, the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army had not yet been able to break through the defensive position of the 171st Regiment at the north gate of Changde City.

However, this could not stop the commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, from bragging to the commander of the China Expeditionary Army, Lieutenant General Hata Shunroku, and the Japanese Imperial Headquarters. In the view of Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, the north gate of Chengde City did not have a city wall. In this case, the concept of inside and outside the city was relative, and he could say whatever he wanted, as he had the right of interpretation.

After boasting, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, was actually very anxious. Under the fierce attack throughout the day on the 28th, the troops of his 11th Army gradually approached within a hundred meters of the three walls of Changde City. It can be said that the speed of the attack was very slow, but the casualties of the attacking troops were constantly increasing.

What was even more terrible for Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, was that not a single officer or soldier of the 57th Division of the Chinese government broke out and retreated from the south gate that day. Moreover, the 57th Division of the Chinese government had no intention of escaping from Changde City. This made his attacking forces very passive in terms of time to occupy Changde City.

However, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, still did not give up and ordered the troops attacking Changde City not to block the South Gate on the 29th, leaving a retreat route for the remnants of the 57th Division of the Chinese government. Perhaps those Chinese officers and soldiers of the 57th Division would soon become scared and flee from the South Gate of Changde City.

On November 29, all the defensive fortifications of the 57th Division guarding Changde City on the line of the Changde City wall were destroyed by the artillery fire and aerial bombardment of the Japanese attacking forces. Even some one to two meter deep trenches were mostly filled with rubble and mud blown up by artillery shells.

The attacking force of the Japanese 11th Army believed that the defensive fortifications of the 57th Division on this line of the Changde city wall had completely lost their effectiveness, so in the early morning of that day, they could not wait to launch a full-scale attack on Changde City.

Although the moat at the north gate of Changde City had been breached by the 133rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, the north gate wall of Changde City had long been demolished, but what replaced the wall were various large and small trenches that gave the Japanese Army a headache.
