"Hurry! Hurry up! Guangzhou City is ahead, and everything there will be yours! Wealth, honor, and women are all yours!" Captain Hiratani Haraichi loudly encouraged his men.
Even though the roads here are very difficult to walk, the slippery mud roads after the rain and the bad weather conditions cannot extinguish Pinggu Yuan's fiery heart.
The achievements of the imperial army in northern China, as well as the unparalleled glory, have always stimulated every imperial soldier in their South China Expeditionary Army.
When they landed in the coastal areas of Fujian from Taiwan, they were vulnerable to the National Army troops they faced. Within half a month, their frontline was directed towards Guangzhou City.
Tens of thousands of national regular troops were beaten by their united force and were unable to fight back. Pinggu Yuanyi led his men to chase after this chaotic army.
But a sudden heavy rain caused them to get lost, but they ended up near Guangzhou City by mistake.
Regarding this important city in South China, Hiratani Yuanichi believed that his regiment could take over the city independently. Not only did he think so, but other subordinates also thought so. The smooth attack along the way made his entire army
The entire team was in a state of feverish excitement.
"We are under enemy attack ahead!" the messenger ran over and reported.
Hiratani Yuanichi waved his command sword and shouted excitedly: "Go forward! Rush over and crush those damn China pigs!"
Along the way, he had seen many guerrilla units formed spontaneously like this. Sometimes there were dozens of people, and sometimes there were only a few people. Although sporadic cold shots did cause his unit to lose strength several times, those guerrilla units were all
He defeated them one by one, and beheaded all the captured enemies with his own hands.
To deal with these guerrillas, they don't need special battle formations. They can all be wiped out with just one charge.
However, when Hiratani Haraichi led his group of men to charge past the blocking hill, he saw the blocking troops on the opposite side.
There were not many of them, only about three to four hundred people, but the dozens of "big guys" in their formation made Harahara Hiratani feel that he was dazzled.
"Chariot?" Hiratani Haraichi had participated in the imperial military parade. He was no stranger to several "behemoths" in the enemy army opposite, so he recognized them at a glance.
However, he has seen the tanks of the Empire, but the largest seems to be only two-thirds the size of these tanks. And there are probably more than 40 tanks on the opposite side, right?
Although Hiratani Haraichi and his men thought they were hallucinating and were in a daze, the Hainan Army commander opposite them did not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered the tanks to fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The tanks on the opposite side began to shell continuously, and a ball of fire appeared from the muzzle, and the explosion exploded in the crowd of stunned Japanese soldiers.
Hiratani Haraichi was already sure that this was not an hallucination, because he had clearly felt the deafening roar of artillery just now. Then before the smoke dissipated, a round of shelling began.
"Lie down quickly and find cover!" A sober Hiraguchi immediately lay down and woke up his stunned subordinates to immediately avoid the bombardment.
Because the charging Japanese soldiers were on the top of the mound, although they could overlook the Hainan Army troops on the opposite side from bottom to top, precisely because of this, they were more like a clear living target.
There was no place to hide on the bare mound. The Japanese soldiers didn't know how to escape for a while, so they could only be beaten passively. Several Japanese soldiers who were gathered together were smashed to pieces by the shelling.
Suddenly, one of the Japanese soldiers in front, Sergeant Cao, stood up, howled and rushed forward with a bundle of grenades in his arms.
Although he was indeed brave enough, his flesh and blood body could not compare with steel after all. The front armor of the Hainan Army tank was equipped with a 12mm caliber heavy machine gun. With a low roar, he was torn into pieces by the steel storm.
Scattered on the ground.
"Get down! Take cover! Don't get up!" Pingguyuan yelled in vain, but where could there be a place to hide on the high soil slope?
"Ta...ta...ta...!" In the Japanese army, two crooked-handled machine guns were set up. The machine gunners fired a bunch of bullets, but they could only shoot up a stream of sparks on the tank armor.
The Japanese soldiers lying down in hiding had no solid defenses and could not block the bombardment of Hainan Army tanks. A Japanese regiment of more than 2,000 people was pressed on this small hillock and beaten. The bright red
Blood dyed the muddy water red.
"Retreat! Go back!" Ping Guyuan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Only a temporary retreat could allow them to reduce the direct bombardment of Hainan Army tanks and artillery fire on the opposite side. He believed that the reorganized regiment would be able to defeat the enemy on the opposite side head-on.
With Haraichi Hiratani's order to retreat, there was a commotion among the yellow military uniforms lying on the ground, but then the Japanese soldiers crawled backwards and retreated in accordance with the order.
Although the Japanese army began to retreat, their retreat speed was as slow as a turtle crawling compared to the advancing speed of the tanks. A burst of green smoke came out of the tail of the Hainan Army tank, and accompanied by the roar of the engine, it quickly rushed in front of the Japanese soldiers.
"Bang! Bang!" As the two sides approached, the Hainan Army infantrymen covering both sides of the tank also began to shoot with their guns.
A retreating sergeant [sergeant] in the Japanese army was hit in the forehead by a bullet. In an instant, his Tianling Gai exploded like a watermelon, and red and white blood splashed all over the floor.
Regarding the crisis at hand, Hiratani Yuanichi has no further investigation. These Chinese people have such a problem with tanks. The first thing he needs to think about is how to face the crisis in front of him. He does not want to be the first person to be killed by the Chinese people.
Establish an Imperial Army Regiment for total annihilation.
"Ah!" Hiratani snorted miserably, and a bullet tore a hole in his arm. The wound in the muscle rolled out, and blood gushed out like a fountain, immediately dyeing his khaki military uniform reddish brown.
"Suicide Squad! Enter!" the Japanese major not far away shouted loudly.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Immediately, several Japanese soldiers shouted slogans and quickly rushed towards the Hainan Army tanks holding bundles of grenades.
However, they could not easily rush through the dense hail of bullets. The bullets from the machine gun instantly penetrated their bodies, leaving behind only patches of bright red blood.
Several other Japanese soldiers did not escape the attention of the God of Death. Although they escaped the crazy shooting of the tank because of crawling forward, they should not forget that the tank was also accompanied by infantry cover. Before they could crawl in front of the tank,
He was shot and killed by Hainan Army soldiers.
Although the commander of the regiment, Hiratani Haraichi, was injured in his right arm, he has not completely lost his combat effectiveness. However, his luck also ended here. After escaping a wave of steel armor, he had not waited for him to regroup the surviving soldiers.
Hainan Army tanks have appeared in front of him.
After looking at his subordinates who had lost their fighting spirit and were only focused on escaping, and then at the Hainan Army tank facing him, Ping Guyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, raised the command knife in his hand, and rushed forward.
The barrage swept past like rain, and Pinggu Yuan was seen falling straight down. At that moment, the song "Sakura" sung by his wife far away in his hometown vaguely sounded in his ears.
Cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms! Under the clear sky in March, there are endless cherry blossoms as far as the eye can see!……
