Chapter 307: Bloody Battle of Nanjing (12)
"I judge that the Japanese army was not prepared for this attack on Nanjing, especially ammunition. Although they were fighting now, their disadvantages would soon appear." Leng Feng said in a staff meeting.
"Yes, the Japanese artillery shells are much thinner than before, but their attack strength has not weakened, which shows that their artillery shell consumption is amazing!"
"Staff Officer Yang!"
"arrive!"
"Report the numbers you calculated."
"If you leave out the 75mm infantry and field artillery, there is no way to count it. We have entered the calculations. Since the Japanese launched an attack this morning, they fired about 5,000 heavy artillery shells of more than 100 millimeters, and about 800 to 1,000 aviation bombs. It is almost the sum of the shells consumed by the Japanese army's first attack on Nanjing (no specific numbers were found, readers can tell me if you have the exact numbers)..."
"According to the statistics and calculations of Staff Yang, the artillery shells carried by the Japanese army have almost been sold out. The next battle will be that you have me and I have you. What is tested is the will and courage of our officers and soldiers."
"The Japanese army is the least concerned about logistics support in the world. Of course, there are historical reasons for them. Therefore, once their shells are finished, the artillery will become a pile of scrap iron. Therefore, we must tell the officers and soldiers below not to be afraid of the Japanese artillery fire. Keep calm and fight well. We can not only defeat the Japanese army, but also give them a heavy blow!"
Hiroji Inoue is a veteran of the 9th Division. His hometown is from Toii Prefecture, Kanazawa. He was discharged from the army two years ago. He was recruited in August this year and joined the reserve corps of the 9th Division.
After coming to China, he has been working as a garrison in the Reserve Corps. His military rank has been promoted from a rank to a sergeant before he retired and became a sergeant. His position has also become a squad leader (that is, a squad leader).
The 9th Division then suffered heavy losses in the attack on Nanjing, and drew a large number of reserve corps and directly added to the field infantry corps. His corps was directly incorporated into the first team of the second squadron of the Third Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment.
During the first attack, he was glad that his brigade was not incorporated into the attacking force, but was arranged in the reserve team.
However, perhaps even more unfortunately, the subsequent battles reflected his understanding of the people.
These people's marksmanship was so bad that they couldn't bear to see them. Inoue Hiroji even felt that the combat quality of these Chinese soldiers was not as good as that of a farmer in the Japanese countryside.
But they are very cunning, hiding in places you can't see, aiming secretly, then firing a gun, or sneaking behind you, and then suddenly launching an attack!
Their attacks on people are not fatal, perhaps because they have not received professional training, but they are too shameless and are specifically aimed at the lower body of men.
The weapons are also very weird. Sometimes, pick up a brick or a wooden stick on the ground.
When the soldiers under Inoue met, three or four of them were knocked down.
When they chased after him, they found that these people suddenly seemed to have disappeared. In this empty and strange city, they are the masters, and the Japanese soldiers are the strangers who have entered.
They did not gather together, they were very scattered, and at the same time they were one person, two people, but they echoed each other.
They made such provocative actions and made a sarcastic scream...
The soldiers could not bear this insult and chased after him. As a result, many people never came back.
He was scared, and felt scared and helpless on the battlefield for the first time. When he retreated to the safe area for the first time, he attacked thirteen people together. Only four people were left.
If he hadn't ordered the evacuation in time, he would have been in the terrible alley.
For the first time, I felt that the Chinese people were so terrible that they were invincible.
Less than one-tenth of the people came back, and many were injured and depressed. Some even collapsed. No matter how the superior slapped him, he could not regain his confidence.
I heard that the soldier encountered a sharpshooter from the Chinese army, and everyone around him was killed one by one, while he ran back frantically, and ended up saving his life.
However, Inoue felt that the Chinese sharpshooter deliberately let him go because he was afraid that he could be contagious. His experience had cast a shadow on the eyes of many soldiers.
Fear spread throughout the entire regiment. The new regiment captain, Colonel Matsumoto, was the replacement of the original Colonel Mie Xiu. I heard that Colonel Mie Xiu Xiu was captured by the Chinese and brutally killed.
However, I heard from the surviving soldiers of the 19th Regiment that the colonel was not killed, but was captured by the Chinese. I don’t know where he was locked up, but at least it is certain that he is still alive.
The newspaper said that the Chinese people did not welcome the Japanese army. They hated the Japanese very much and hated the Japanese. However, in Inoue's opinion, the Japanese army was barbaric invasion and enslavement of the country and the people.
They are not qualified to hate the Chinese, but the Chinese are also qualified to hate them. The Japanese army committed too much murder in Nanjing.
In order to occupy this country and for the future of the empire's billions of people, the empire launched this war. I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Inoue doesn't know if he still has the chance to survive this war.
But he knew in his heart that he no longer wanted to fight.
"Get up, get up, cowards, you cowards..." The chief's verbal abuse came, and the violent captain Nagano was kicking the soldiers from the ground one by one.
"Hurry, go line up!"
This was the beginning of a new round of attack. Inoue stood up numbly and walked to his position. He was appointed Chief Cao and brought in another team to him for command.
I handed out wild vegetables rice balls, two for each person, and a bowl of broth with oily flowers. Of course, the meat is invisible. This is already very good. At least I can't eat you and go to the battlefield after eating.
For many people, this may be the last meal in this world.
For the honor of the samurai, for His Majesty the Emperor, and for the future of the Great Japanese Empire, the young soldiers are going to the battlefield again.
Inoue couldn't help but have an idea, what would be the lunch for the China Army opposite?
They probably won’t have rice balls and broth, right?
On the national rescue position.
"Come on, I got a good meal today. The traveler rewarded us. Each person can have a box of canned beef, rice, and cabbage. You can beat the Japanese when you are full." The cooking team jumped to the forefront and came to the forefront.
Smelling the scent of the food, all the heads popped up.
"It's so fragrant, is this enough?"
"It's enough, but everyone should eat casually. Many of you have had diarrhea..."
"I understand, let's share the meal quickly, I'm starving to death!" Someone had already rushed over and a bucket of rice was instantly robbed.
Cong Hu walked up with a sniper rifle in his arms.
"Is there any food?"
Looking at the empty rice bucket and the few cabbage leaves remaining at the bottom of the soup basin, everyone scattered and quickly slipped away.
"This, Chief Cong, I have two cooked eggs here. Chief Liang specifically told you and Chief Leopard one..."
Cong Hu glanced at him, without saying a word, took away a cooked egg, and then left with a sniper rifle.
The Japanese army carried dry food on their bodies. If you had the time to search, you would not have any unexpected gains.
"These bastards are lawless and actually robbed the lunch of the two brothers Cong Hu and Leopard?" Wu Xinhua received the report and was furious.
"Host, please calm down. You can't blame the people below for this. They don't know that there is lunch for Conghu and Chief Leopard. Besides, didn't you give them an egg each?"
"Can an egg be used to hold a ball?" Wu Xinhua said angrily, "I said that the chef squad leader didn't know how to leave two servings for them alone, and they were all mixed together. What's going on?"
"Why would you send two more copies?"
"Send two copies, can you find them, now?" Liang Dong shouted and gave a special instructor, but it still happened like this.
Cong Hu is Leng Feng's sworn brother, and Leopard was once Liao Sen's guard. Both of them are masters with unique skills.
If you have enemies, you will have some shoes to wear in the future.
"That's all for this. I'll tell them to go back and say, it won't happen." Liang Dong said.
"Lao Liang, it really doesn't work. Call Deputy Commander Leng to explain?" Wu Xinhua said.
"I'm sure I'll be scolded. If you beat me, it might be better if you beat me." Liang Dong smiled bitterly.
"Being scolded?" Wu Xinhua was a little puzzled.
"Forget it, stop fighting. This matter is not big at all. The brigade should focus on dealing with the Japanese army's next attack." Liang Dong shook his head slightly and said.
Wu Xinhua still couldn't help but call Leng Feng.
Leng Feng thought something big happened, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. If it were Liang Dong, he would have scolded him long ago, but the other party was Wu Xinhua, so he had to save some face, but he was still not polite: "They can't even grab both of them, so they deserve to be hungry. It's okay, don't worry about them, they can't starve to death."
It is indeed embarrassing to not get a meal. Cong Hu and Leopard are both arrogant, and of course they would not sue the 40th Brigade for such a thing.
But they both held their breath and all scattered on the Japanese.
As a result, the Japanese army attacked in the afternoon became even more miserable. The names of the "black and white" evil spirits spread throughout the battlefield, becoming a pair of shining killing stars.
The Japanese army constantly adjusted their tactics to deal with the "rogue" style of fighting like a national rescuer, but the results were minimal.
Street fighting has also been studied by the Japanese army, but it is not profound. After all, in many previous wars, the chance of street fighting breaking out was very small. Once the city was broken, the captured side would always be defeated, and there was no chance to compete for such a street, street, house, and house.
Perhaps the explosion-proof police officers who capture criminals have more experience in dealing with this type of enemy.
But what the police may only deal with ordinary civilians holding sharp weapons, but they are by no means well-trained soldiers.
