Every effort is made in war! The battlefield is not a place where benevolence, righteousness and truth are discussed! ————"Kongchen Quotations"
On February 26, the news that the Hainan Army completely annihilated the Japanese 18th Division in Jiangxi was like a strong wind blowing across the land of China. All Chinese people who heard the news were extremely excited.
Although the Hainan Army once annihilated a Japanese division and crippled a 1st Division, due to the Japanese military's deliberate concealment and the Hainan Army's fear of the Nationalist government, it did not make it public, so its domestic impact was relatively small.
Small.
But this time the battle took place in Jiangxi, where there were not only the Hainan Army, but also many scattered units of the National Army. The battle situation spread with them. Such a large-scale war and the roar of heavy artillery could be heard two miles away.
I can hear it clearly, no one would believe me even if it was a small fuss.
Moreover, what was annihilated this time was the 18th Division, which was relatively high in the Japanese army's organizational structure. The division also had a regiment stationed in Fuzhou that escaped the disaster and relied on its organization to maintain face.
But in the 18th Division, no one from the division commander down was missed, and they were all wiped out by the Hainan Army. This can be regarded as the first regular division of the Japanese army to be organically eliminated on the Chinese battlefield.
How could it be possible to cover it up after it has been pierced?
When such a huge defeat was revealed, you can imagine the shock in the Japanese army base camp and the reaction of the top brass of the Japanese Army.
In the headquarters of the Japanese Invasion Army, there was a sound of objects being thrown from time to time. This was the news that the entire 18th Division was shattered, and they fell into an uncontrollable rage.
"Baga!" Commander-in-Chief Juichi Terauchi once again threw a beautiful ceramic tea cup to the ground and cursed angrily.
The other Japanese officers all remained silent and endured Terauchi's scolding with their heads down, for fear of angering this irascible "little old man".
"Hainan Army..., Hainan Army! Damn it, all of them deserve to die!" Terauchi Shouichi recited two words in a low voice. One can imagine how much he hates the Hainan Army.
Every time they encountered the Hainan Army on the battlefield, the Japanese army was defeated again and again, and the number of divisions lost to the Hainan Army was no longer one or two.
The first thing he considered was the impact of this incident. The Japanese army was "demonized" on the North China battlefield. The National Army troops all fled when they encountered large-scale Japanese troops. The North China battlefield only relied on a few nationalists such as Yan Xishan and Li Zongren.
The senior generals of the army struggled to support him.
But now it's good! The "myth" created by the Japanese army has been broken, and it has been trampled hard by the Hainan Army's big feet. The North China Army may once again set off a wave of resistance to aggression.
After a long time, Terauchi Shouichi, perhaps tired of cursing, sat quietly on a chair with a gloomy expression and said nothing.
"Doihara Ni! Is there any news about the "Sakura" arranged by the Ume Agency? And it's useless to decipher the enemy's code so far. What do you do for food?" Terauchi Juichi asked Doihara Ni next to him, and said
He reached out to touch the tea cup on the table and felt thirsty after cursing for a long time.
"Huh!?" However, he stretched out his hand out of habit, but found nothing. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had smashed the tea cup just now, and he retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Of course, Doiharaji also saw this scene. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't show it on his face. He lowered his head very smartly. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he pretended that he didn't see anything.
"Hai! Your Excellency, Commander! Our department has obtained the information about "Sakura"! However, the Hainan Army uses two sets of electronic codes. The deciphering work has been stepped up, but it will take some time!" Doiharaji replied cautiously.
, in fact, the progress of "Sakura" so far is still very small, and no breakthrough has been made.
Commander Juichi Terauchi was still angry, so he tried to fool him first and said that he would figure out a solution if anything happened next.
"Excellent! An important task needs to be entrusted to your Mei Agency. You must go and prepare immediately!" Terauchi Juichi whispered in Doiharaji's ear several times, making Doiharaji keep nodding in response.
——————————[The dividing line between Juichi’s conspiracy in the temple] ——————————
Under Nanning City, the flames of war were still raging. Jiro Okamura's 116th Division was indeed a tough guy, stubbornly resisting the Hainan Army's crazy attack.
The Second Division of the Hainan Army made full use of its superiority in artillery fire. The Japanese troops were so suppressed that they did not dare to take the lead. They could only cover their ears and hide in the anti-aircraft holes and pray not to be hit.
Although the positions built by the Japanese army did not cut corners and were very strong, in the face of constant bombardment by the Hainan Army's heavy artillery, Japanese troops were sometimes blown directly into the sky.
Being directly hit by a 5mm heavy artillery can basically guarantee death. Even if you are not killed on the spot, the shock wave or vibration is enough to kill the Japanese soldiers under the fortifications.
When Hainan Army's artillery fire began to extend into the Japanese army's position, as their own charge horn sounded, Hainan Army soldiers jumped out of the trenches one after another, shouting for kill and rushed towards the Japanese army's line.
"Ta...ta...ta...!" The Japanese army quickly organized a counterattack on the position, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked machine guns rang out. The two sides fought fiercely for so long, and the Japanese army also knew very well that as the shelling extended, the Hainan Army would soon
It will rush up soon.
"Ah~!" I saw a Hainan Army soldier screaming. He fell forward two or three meters with the inertia and fell to the ground screaming.
"Ah! My leg! Save me!" When he was charging just now, he was unfortunately hit by a large-caliber bullet from a heavy machine gun on his calf. Half of his leg was directly broken and flew away, and blood spurted out uncontrollably.
At this time, another veteran soldier who was charging with his waist suddenly stopped suddenly. His knees rubbed on the ground for half a meter and he stopped firmly next to the wounded soldier. He grabbed his collar and dragged him behind the cover.
At the same time, the gushing blood left a long blood mark behind him, and the wounded man's howling was much weaker due to excessive bleeding.
After the veteran dragged the wounded into a half-meter-deep crater and leaned against the wall of the crater, breathing heavily, he soon saw two medical soldiers running over with a stretcher.
"Unlucky guy! Congratulations, you can get a disability medal when you go back, and then you can find a wife and live with your pension!" The veteran couldn't help but joked as he watched the medical treatment and dressing the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
For soldiers, being injured on the battlefield has both good and bad consequences. The good thing is that you can get a generous pension, and then you can live on the government's future pension relief, and maybe you will be arranged to serve as a militia instructor in that place.
.
Of course, there is definitely no Hainan Army soldier who wants to be injured. What they want more is the Medal of Merit rather than the Medal of Disability. After all, if you are injured on the battlefield, you may not be lucky enough to survive.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Hainan Army's charge continued, and the Japanese soldiers had begun to use grenade launchers to block the attack. The impact of the explosion would occasionally overturn the Hainan Army soldiers.
The distance of a few hundred meters flew by. The Hainan Army soldiers who rushed into the Japanese position began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The first front line was quickly lost in the assault of the Hainan Army soldiers. Then they pounced on the enemy in squad and platoon units.
The Japanese second line of defense.
In the headquarters of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army, Jiro Okamura saw in the telescope that the Hainan Army had conquered the first line of defense, and ordered to the commander next to him: "Order to prepare the death squads! Go ahead!"
They had been fighting fiercely with the Hainan Army for several days. Their supplies were cut off and their ammunition consumption was very intense. When the ammunition was insufficient, the Japanese army formed a death squad!
These death squads are all deeply influenced by the spirit of Bushido and are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. The death squads do not carry any shooting weapons when fighting. Everyone is strapped with explosive bags or grenades, hides in an inconspicuous corner, and suddenly rushes out to detonate.
The explosives and Hainan Army soldiers died together.
And in the narrow trenches, the Japanese death squads' life-for-life style of play did indeed achieve great success, causing heavy casualties to the Hainan Army soldiers they encountered, and even the entire squad died together with the Japanese army.
But as time went by, Hainan Army soldiers also thought of ways to overcome it. Whenever they encountered a corner in the trench, Hainan Army soldiers would throw a grenade in advance. As for capturing enemy prisoners, most soldiers chose to forget indirectly.
.
The other method is much more violent. When encountering the Japanese death squads rushing towards him, the soldiers carrying shotguns will immediately fire, and the huge impact will directly send him flying out.
It was no longer obvious that the suicide squad's method of self-destruction had worked, and the Japanese army was no longer wasting the lives of soldiers in vain, but instead launched brutal hand-to-hand combat in criss-crossing trenches.
It is undeniable that there is still a gap between the hand-to-hand combat skills of Hainan Army soldiers and Japanese soldiers. Except for some veterans or using shotguns, two or three Hainan Army soldiers must be used to deal with one Japanese soldier.
Chen Peng, the commander of the assault company, suddenly encountered four Japanese soldiers in the trench. He raised his hand and shot one of them to death. The 9mm caliber bullet of the M1911 even made the little Japanese soldier fly backwards.
Before they could turn their guns, three other Japanese soldiers roared and rushed forward. Two Japanese soldiers were blocked by their subordinates, but one of them had stabbed Chen Peng directly in the abdomen with a bayonet.
"Ding~!" The bayonet collided with the rocks on the trench wall, creating a stream of sparks.
Chen Peng dodged the rifle bayonet thrust by the Japanese soldier, but because of the small space in the trench, his evasive movements were affected, and the sharp bayonet blade still made a shallow wound on his waist.
"Fuck you!" Chen Peng swore loudly, grabbed the Japanese man's chest collar, and fired the pistol directly next to the little devil's hand in his right hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" He fired several shots in succession, and the little Japanese was immediately beaten into a sieve. Then Chen Peng threw the little Japanese who was vomiting blood on the ground and shot the other two little Japanese to death.
"Damn it! These little devils are so difficult to deal with, they are all like lunatics!" Chen Peng spat and cursed bitterly.
