Chapter 983 Japanese Suicide Attack
If the little devil doesn't have a good rest tonight, the Japanese soldiers will fight with their hands on their eyelids tomorrow.
While their soldiers still have a little energy that has not been exhausted by the Chinese army, they must make a decision as soon as possible.
Yamazaki, the Japanese captain, also had a splitting headache at this time. He had not slept for two days and one night, and his brain was like a mush.
Without sleep, people can easily lose their ability to judge.
The subordinate officers urged Kawasaki to make a decision. Kawasaki now had only one idea, to take Anyang Town directly.
"Since we can't wait, get ready now and we'll go straight to Anyang Town tonight!" Kawasaki issued an order that made everyone crazy.
They definitely wouldn't be able to reach Anyang Town in one day.
Now their soldiers are already exhausted. If they spend another day and night attacking Anyang Town, the entire army will be exhausted.
"Your Excellency Captain, our troops urgently need sleep now! Otherwise they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness."
"I believe that our soldiers, no matter what kind of desperate situation they are in, can repel the Chinese army. The imperial army will never fail!"
Kawasaki gave an order to his subordinates to take action tonight, as if they were given a shot of blood.
The other little Japanese squadron leaders originally planned to persuade their group leader to give up this operation, retreat the troops, and try to protect themselves first. After their soldiers calmed down, it would not be too late to plot against Anyang Town.
But what they didn't expect was that their persuasion not only failed to stop Kawasaki, but also made Kawasaki even crazier.
The little Japanese troops quickly gathered together and set off towards Anyang Town overnight.
"What are you doing, little devil? It's so late at night, aren't you afraid of our ambush?"
Takakura was also a little confused by Yamazaki.
Although the little devil has not become the bastard in their urn, but in the little devil's condition, if he has to march to Wang County in a hurry, isn't he asking for trouble?
"Battal Commander, is this kid trying to catch you by surprise?"
The kid's abnormal behavior made several company commanders think that the kid was going to make some big move!
"Caught by surprise? I think they are jumping over the wall in a hurry! Let the vanguard of the Japanese army pass by and concentrate on attacking their central army!"
Gao Cang could tell at a glance that these little devils were cornered by them.
The Japs were eager to advance towards Anyang Town, so Gao Cang made it impossible for the Japanese troops to look after each other.
Cutting off the Japanese army in the middle, even if the remaining Japanese army can reach Anyang Town, they will not be able to make a big wave.
Following the order from Captain Xiaojiazi, the Japanese soldiers did not care about the formation of the marching team.
Yamazaki had only one request for them. Whoever arrived at Anyang Town first would launch an attack on Anyang Town first. The one who took the lead in Anyang Town would be considered the first to attack.
The little Japanese army was in chaos. In the dark, they could no longer tell whether it was their own squadron.
After Gao Cang learned about the Japs' actions, he immediately made arrangements along the way.
The troops of the two companies crossed directly into the Japanese army, blocking the path forward for the following Japanese troops.
Half of the little devil's troops were left behind.
The Japanese soldiers chased and beat Takakura and the others as if they were desperate for their lives. It was obvious that they were given orders to die.
Regardless of whether there are Chinese troops blocking them in front, they have only one goal: Anyang Town.
The battle became intense from the beginning. Before Takakura and his colleagues could deploy their flying thunder cannons, the Japanese army launched a charge towards their position.
The Japanese troops did not use their permanent triangle formation as before.
Rather, like locusts, they leave nothing behind wherever they pass.
"Boom boom boom"
Some of the little Japs were so crazy that they launched a suicide attack, holding grenades in their hands and attacking the Chinese soldiers in front of them.
When the grenade exploded, not only the Chinese soldiers were injured, but also the Japanese soldiers nearby.
"Battal Commander, the little Japs are crazy! They launched several suicide attacks on our position regardless of casualties. Many of our soldiers were unprepared..."
The first company commander had a somewhat painful expression. His arm had just been injured by a grenade shrapnel, and blood was still flowing out. There was no time to bandage the wound.
Gao Cang also realized the seriousness of the problem.
These little devils have become completely crazy. They just want to exchange their lives for Anyang Town.
"It seems we can't keep fighting like this!"
Gao Cang also realized that if they continued to fight like this, even if they could win, the casualties would be high in the end.
This suicidal attack by the Japanese army will soon collapse their troops.
"Yes, battalion commander, please think of a way quickly. It's too dark and it's too easy for little devils to get close to our soldiers."
Under the conditions of dark night, for the soldiers of both sides, it is equal!
Whoever is good at using black as cover will have an advantage.
The little Japanese soldiers also used the darkness as a cover to hide. When they got close to Gao Cang's defensive position, they jumped up, jumped into the trench, and fired grenades.
Explosions could be heard at any time on the battlefield, making the soldiers tremble with fear.
After all, in the darkness, no one knows where a little devil will pop up and die with them.
"Order all machine guns to retreat 200 meters and establish positions on both sides of the road. After the machine gun positions are established, the troops release the front."
"Battal Commander, if the front is open, the Japs can march straight in. The regiment commander doesn't have many troops around him."
In addition to the two companies defending the position, Zhao Zhiguo only had one combat company and one guard company in his hands.
Only a quarter of the guard company is made up of veterans, so it is hard to say how much combat effectiveness it can exert.
"Don't worry, we don't have to worry about the leader. Even if all the little devils pass by, they won't hurt the leader at all."
Gao Cang was not worried about Zhao Zhiguo's safety at all.
Even if the Japs come with a brigade, if Zhao Zhiguo wants to leave, the Japs really can't catch him.
"In this way, let the troops at the front hold on for another ten minutes, let the artillery retreat, set up positions behind the machine gun positions, cover the more than 100 meters of road with artillery fire, and take out all our property. There is no need to save!"
The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is still very strong.
Gao Cang's defense line was already in jeopardy, and they had to change their formation to deal with the Japanese army's mad-dog style of play.
"Also, after ten minutes, the troops on the front retreated collectively and arranged on both sides of the machine gun and artillery positions! As long as the Japanese army still launches a suicidal charge towards us, we will continue to follow this method, with the machine gun and artillery positions retreating and the infantry covering them.
!”
Gao Cang decided to inflict casualties on the Japanese troops step by step.
This mad dog style of play will not last long, just like a person can be frivolous for a while, but cannot be frivolous for the rest of his life.
The troops quickly adjusted their deployment. When the frontal troops retreated, Yamazaki mistakenly thought that the Chinese army was afraid of them.
