Chapter 74 The Last Resistance (Part 2)
The Japanese army attacking Yanziji Fortress had discovered the fire blockade pattern of the defenders, and the Japanese 38-type 75mm field artillery had been pushed to a distance of 400 meters to bombard the breach. The Chinese defenders were at the breach.
Repeated battles with the Japanese army resulted in heavy casualties. After the Japanese army successfully broke in several times, they were quickly driven out by the defenders' concentrated firepower. The corpses of the attacking Japanese army even piled up a passage under the breach of the main fort.*
Because the distance between the Chinese and Japanese armies was too close, the Japanese field artillery could not be used. The Japanese soldiers could only step on the corpses of their comrades and rush forward bravely under the blazing firepower of the Chinese defenders, constantly throwing grenades into the breach.
With a burst of explosions, several bloody Chinese garrison machine gunners were blown out of the breach. Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 1724
Howling Japanese soldiers rushed into the breach. What they saw were more than a dozen corpses still smoking and bloody. Before the Japanese soldiers could recover, more than a dozen German-made wooden handles were smoking.
The defensive grenade was thrown at the feet of the Japanese soldiers, boom! Boom boom! A series of dull noises
After the explosion, the Japanese soldiers who had entered the breach were blown out, and then the brisk roar of machine guns rang out from the breach. The unprepared Japanese soldiers who were trampling on the corpses of their comrades and attacking were thrown to the ground like wheat.
The blood flowing from the corpse moistened the cracked soil.
After the attacks failed again and again, Akiyama Yoshiyun sighed helplessly. Akiyama Yoshiyun had forgotten how many times this attack failed.
Standing aside, Jing Shuxuan also bit his lip and refused to say a word. The Imperial Japanese Army always preached about the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Lushun back then, but how many people who had seen the tragedy back then were still alive? They were dead.
The most fearless people are the most fearless. The key is that all the living people collapsed in the end. It was a desperate war.
And Yanziji in front of us is also a desperate war. Just for such a small and worthless fortress, unimaginable casualties have been paid? Is it really worth it? Just because the Chinese defenders of Yanziji will be humiliated.
What brought the Empire of Japan? The relationship between politics and war is probably the most complicated.
The relationship between politicians and generals is that war is a continuation of politics, and politics is the beginning of the instigation of war. More often than not, it is a battle plan that cannot be implemented tactically. It is implemented because of political needs, and the results are costly.
It is the lives of a large number of ordinary officers and soldiers. At this moment, life is the cheapest thing.
Jingshu Xuanshi glanced at Akiyama Yoshiyun and said: "Akiyama-kun! Such a brutal battle, even in the Songhu Battle, has never happened before, and the capture of Nanjing has never happened before! Is it worth the heavy casualties we have paid? If we only adopt a siege
I believe that in less than a month, the Chinese people who are without water or food may surrender on their own initiative. Our fierce attack now can only increase the determination of the Chinese people to defend. This group of crazy Chinese people is really embarrassing.
It’s so shuddering!”
Akiyama Yoshiyun took a deep breath and said: "There is an old saying in China that it is better to have jade in pieces than in ruins! Chinese people do this in many cases. They would rather burn their wealth and kill their relatives than anything else.
Fall into the hands of the enemy, do not enslave the enemy, now the Chinese garrison at Yanziji
I am afraid that it is a group of such warriors, guarding their capital alone. They are the last defenders of Nanjing, the capital of China, and they are worthy of admiration! If it were you and me, although we are determined to serve the country and sacrifice ourselves for His Majesty the Emperor, who can guarantee the following?
