Chapter 257
Romario had been speaking for the Japanese army just now. Saburo Aso thought he was an ally and subconsciously moved closer to Romario on the airship.
But when he saw the Japanese soldiers starting to run away, and seeing how they even left their own commanders alone, Romario felt his face burning, and he never wanted to get close to the Japanese again.
American military observer Amini shouted in surprise: "Oh! What the hell! What happened?"
They actually captured a Japanese captain!"
When he shouted, the observers and reporters on the airship became excited.
Romario just saw this scene, so he quietly stayed away from Aso Saburo. He couldn't afford to lose this person.
But of course he didn't say anything. Now that he heard the Americans shouting loudly, he glanced at Amini with some resentment:
In recent years, Americans have become richer and richer.
Have you started to dictate things in the world? Is it enough to just have money?
Americans, relying on their wealth, have lost respect for established powers in many matters.
This situation made the British very unhappy, so the League of Nations led by him did not bring Americans in to play at all.
Soviet military observer Maxim said with a smile: "The Japanese people's courage was knocked out."
Everyone knew that he was talking about the main brigade whose captain was captured. At this time, the situation of the Matsushita brigade on the front also began to change.
The two companies sent out by Commander Lu to counterattack had smashed the two pliers that the Japanese had stretched out earlier.
The large army that was attacking in the middle of the Japs rushed towards the left and right wings, although there were only forty or fifty soldiers left in the two companies.
But their momentum was overwhelming, as if they were the stronger side with more people, and the Japanese were the weaker side with fewer soldiers.
This kind of momentum can be seen even by these military observers at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
Amini murmured to himself: "How do you train the will of these soldiers?"
This time no one on the airship answered.
Everyone is thinking, and obviously they want to know the answer.
These military observers are all soldiers, and they all know very well how powerful an army will be if it has this kind of fighting will.
Isn't it because the Japanese have been able to occupy a place in the world in recent years because their soldiers have the bushido spirit of not being afraid of death?
Today, their bushido spirit suffered a defeat, and it was riddled with wounds. Some soldiers even ran away from the battlefield.
Aso Saburo now hated those soldiers who fled, if he hated the national army below who kept fighting and refused to surrender.
Then his hatred for the escaped soldiers of the main hall's Dashu Brigade was at least 10,000.
At this time, even he dared not say that the Japanese infantry below could annihilate the Chinese soldiers.
Captain Lu looked at our captain Dashu who was lying on the stretcher, frowned slightly and said, "This won't prevent him from committing suicide!"
A reminder!
Platoon leader Quan Youzhi immediately reached out and removed the Japanese man's chin first.
He picked his tendons again, and then said with a smile: "Captain! He won't commit suicide."
Only then did Captain Lu look with satisfaction at the Japanese captain who was grinning from ear to ear, with saliva flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
He smiled and said: "Find a piece of wood and set it up so that all the brothers can see that we have captured a Japanese captain."
Captain Matsushita Ohta is beginning to regret it again. This is the second time he has regretted it since he went to the battlefield today.
Just now, he made a desperate move and organized all available troops of the entire brigade to attack.
As a result, the national army position on the opposite side defended extremely resolutely, and their machine gunners fell one after another.
However, soldiers are constantly being replenished. Although the number of soldiers in the national army is decreasing sharply, the number of soldiers on our side is also decreasing at the same rate.
Captain Matsushita Ohta looked at his soldiers, suppressed by mortar shells, and machine guns being blown up one after another.
The grenades were also blown to pieces. After attacking from the center, there were only more than 200 people left out of the 400 people at the beginning.
The terrible thing is that there is a national army team attacking on both the left and right wings. Both teams are not large in number, with less than a hundred people in total.
But there were machine guns in their ranks, and the soldiers did not rush in, but kept shooting from more than a hundred meters away.
Seeing that his more than two hundred soldiers were surrounded by the inferior strength of the national army.
Matsushita Ohta felt that all these years of fighting were in vain, and all the knowledge he learned in the military academy was fed to the dogs.
No, even if a wild dog fights, he can still command it better than himself.
In fact, his brigade also has an infantry squadron behind it, intercepting the guard platoon led by Li Cheng.
Squadron leader Saionji Hideki is very anxious now. He doesn't know how to deal with the current situation: the national army is attacking fiercely in the front.
The main force of the team behind him also encountered a crisis. Should he abandon the frontal defense line and return for reinforcements? Or should he stick to the spot?
Undecided, Squadron Leader Saionji Hideki was hesitant!
From time to time, he looked behind him at Captain Matsushita Ota, who was still persisting in the attack. So far, the captain had not sent a signal soldier to convey the order.
It seems that he insisted on stopping the small group of national troops in front of him.
In fact, it was very difficult for the Saionji Hideki Squadron to stop Li Cheng's platoon.
Li Cheng's platoon now has six machine guns. Although the barrels are no longer used, the six machine guns and the entire platoon of more than 30 people are all present.
With the battalion commander providing fire support from behind, Platoon Commander Li ordered the machine gun to follow the team and rush forward until they reached a position less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese defense line.
Only then did the six machine guns set up positions on the spot, and cooperated with the battalion commander's mortars to suppress the Japanese firepower in front.
Platoon Leader Li led the remaining 20 or so soldiers and began to launch the final charge towards the defense line of Xiyuanji Hideki Squadron.
In Wei Mingyang's heart, Platoon Leader Li's team was the second battalion's last weight on the battlefield. They were always going to attack the main enemy position.
Seeing Platoon Leader Li and the others began to sprint, Wei Mingyang's bombing of Xiyuanji Hideki Squadron became more intensive.
Now, in order to easily adjust the shooting angle and direction, he holds the barrel of the gun with his left hand and uses the grenade barrel to fire the mortar.
The advantage of using it this way is that it can adjust the attack target very quickly. The disadvantage is of course that it requires very high technical requirements for the shooter.
Wei Mingyang is a person with very high skills. Lu Fei is responsible for throwing the cannonballs into the barrel, and Yang Dazhu is responsible for carrying the cannonballs.
The three-person combat team cooperated tacitly, and the shooting speed could reach more than twenty rounds per minute.
This speed is already a record for Lu Fei. After all, he had never touched a mortar shell before today.
