After catching up with the Japanese driver who was frightened by the heavy artillery fire and asking him, he found out whether the other Japanese soldiers who had survived the shelling and had just left had not been there for a long time.
According to the Japanese driver who had been so shocked by the heavy artillery that his ears could not function very well, he had to ask the translator to yell into his ears in order to communicate effectively.
Most of the troops in their entire regiment were sent to the west under the overwhelming shelling.
The number of corpses seen east of the eye was very large. This was probably because the artillery barrage was too powerful. The large expanses of shelling debris raised into the sky buried most of the corpses, fragments, and remains of weapons and equipment.
If you have the time to dig, you will definitely be able to dig out a lot of Japanese parts and fragments from the soil.
But Alsim had no interest in this. The only thing that interested him was that "the large group of Lunar troops had just left for less than twenty minutes." It was enough to understand that.
"Comrade Company Commander, he, the driver of the Yue Army is dead."
"ha?"
He had just finished asking and was about to get up and give orders, but Alsim did not expect that the news of the death of the Japanese driver who had just been able to take a breath came so quickly.
When I turned around, I realized that the Japanese driver, whose waist had been severely injured by a sharp metal object, had already tilted his head and was completely lifeless.
It was not the Red Army who begged for his life, but the metal debris protruding from the cab of the truck, which was severely twisted and deformed, and stabbed directly through his lower abdomen and pierced his waist in the wrong way.
Just now he was able to hold on to his speech, probably due to the adrenaline effects of the excitement, so it is not surprising that he died now, but it is reasonable.
"Can you believe what that guy just said?"
"Is it true that Zhui will know if he goes to see it? I hope those Japanese Japanese soldiers still have fighting spirit and don't go too far, otherwise that trip will be too popular."
Alsim and his entourage, who had just left, immediately continued towards Choke.
Not long after I got excited about the good news, some easily missed details brought new surprises.
"The big end of the horseshoe is facing south instead of north. The horse's head is facing south and is stepping on the floating soil. The enemy must have just passed there not long ago. Keep chasing! They can catch up!"
The Lunar Army fled in a panic and had no time to deal with the clues they had left to the east. After the cavalry brigade galloped past, the horseshoe mark left to the east ran from north to south, with the main head facing the direction from which the Lunar Army came, and the depth of the occupied area turned back.
Moreover, the marks of the horseshoe were not on the old soil, but on the fresh soil blown up by the cannon, so what it meant was no longer obvious.
Following the horseshoe mark heading south, the trail got a little wider, and more discoveries still followed.
"There are rut marks, comrade company commander! It's right next to the horseshoe mark, and it's not new either!"
"There are traces of tracks over there too!"
"Okay, it seems that not only are all the enemies not dead, but they are doing something decent! Keep going and get ready for battle!"
More and more discoveries meant that the regrouping and retreating Lunar armies were not far away from each other. Alsim, who had a premonition that the enemy was not far ahead, stepped up the pursuit.
At the same time, it was not too far ahead of Alsim.
The Moon Army, which had just escaped from the Russian death bombing zone, was in a completely different state from the Red Army.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been blown away by the bombing, were all dejected and staggering with weapons that seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds in their legs.
The singing and marching posture with high morale when they attacked the Red Army with great fanfare not long ago was completely gone. The destructive bombardment that was comparable to the end of the world really caused great psychological trauma to those Lunar troops.
snap——
A Moon soldier who was holding a Type 99 rifle in his leg to choke the enemy accidentally lost his leg and dropped his weapon. The dusty and scratched rifle fell to the ground like a tree branch burning a fire stick.
In normal times, the kind of embarrassing behavior that is absolutely taboo in the eyes of the Moon Army officers would require two big pot stickers with both sides of the bow and an angry rebuke of "Baga". If you are lucky, you can eat four big pot stickers.
Is there any cocoa?
As a warrior of the Imperial Army, I can't even hold the gun firmly in my leg. If I spread the word, I would make the Navy Red Deer laugh.
But looking to the east, the other Japanese soldiers around Xiangmu, including Captain Cao, who was leading the team from the front, did not let the nuclear locusts break into Xiangmu at all and scolded him for such behavior.
On the contrary, each one of them acted as if they didn't see it. They just dragged the heavy weapons in their legs and continued to choke, as if what their teammates did had nothing to do with them.
As for the Japanese soldier who was almost unable to walk, not to mention injured and exhausted, he had not forgotten what he was doing wearing those clothes. He knew that it was absolutely wrong for a soldier to lose his weapon.
It was a big taboo to tolerate him, so he consciously stopped and tried to turn around and bend down to pick up the gun.
But it's good not to bend down. If you bend down, something will happen.
The moment the Japanese soldier, who was already exhausted, bent over and headed eastward, he felt dizzy and dizzy. His eyes went black before he could take a breath and he fell to the ground.
"Kimura-kun! What happened to me!?"
It was easy to turn a blind eye when the comrade's gun fell to the ground just now, but since everyone fell to the ground along with the gun, it was indeed impossible to remain indifferent any longer.
The comrade-in-arms who befriended the Japanese soldier who fell to the ground immediately rushed forward and stretched out his legs to help his fallen friend. At a glance, he saw that his lips were almost split into several bloody petals.
"He - is he really unable to walk? Don't worry about him. I'll leave quickly. If I continue to stay there, I'll fight him."
"What nonsense am I talking about? I was walking very well just now, stand up quickly! He helped me walk, hurry up! I died there, have I ever thought about what will happen to Masako? She is waiting for me to go back home in Nagasaki
Marry her! Get him up quickly!"
The power of ruthlessness is powerful, even when compared to a heinous enemy.
Hearing the loud encouragement and reprimands from my good brother, I thought of Yamato Nadeshiko wearing a kimono to the east of the cherry blossom tree, and I could vaguely see her smiling towards me.
Feeling that the strength in that dilapidated body had increased, he once again grasped the Type 99 rifle that had fallen to the ground as a walking stick.
He forced his body, which was almost riddled with wounds, to stand up again. Finally, with the help of a walking stick, rifle and the support of his comrades, he managed to continue moving forward.
Scenarios like this are not an isolated case, but are constantly happening among the entire retreating team of the Moon Army.
But not all Moon troops are so lucky. Some Japanese soldiers will become immortal once they fall.
Even if there are comrades in front of me to check and call, I will have no choice but to leave with unbearable and painful feelings. I will leave a dead body that has died in the fertile soil of the Northeast and turned into fertilizer.
The devastating bombardment from the leader's army lasted for more than an hour.
What happened in the past not only refreshed the Lunar Army's understanding of field artillery, but also caused the entire Lunar Army team to advance with injuries, shrouded in the haze of death, and the number of troops continued to decrease as they marched.
Due to the sudden shelling they encountered on the march, quite a few of the Moon troops who had no shelter to hide in were more or less seriously injured by large-caliber artillery shells.
The specific manifestation of trauma is whether it is possible to just get up from the ground and walk, and it seems to be no different from a normal person.
But what happened next to Dong Lai was that he walked slower and slower, and the pain became more and more painful, until he could no longer support his bleeding body and completely collapsed.
The 101st Regiment of the 105th Brigade suffered unprecedented heavy losses. Yandong had lost most of its trucks and war horses. Individual humanoid soldiers with a smaller projection area were even seriously injured by heavy artillery. Larger war horses and vehicles
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the losses.
In order to carry out the wounded as much as possible, the surviving cavalry from the east gave up their horses, and Yu Dong's trucks were all used to transport the wounded and place stretchers.
Even the armored vehicles and small tanks of the Lunar Army were filled with various wounded stretchers placed in the open air, and there were even a large number of disabled Lunar Army soldiers with limited legs and feet walking on the vehicle in the form of external plug-ins.
But even so, it has reached the point where all conceivable methods of transporting the wounded have been used.
However, the Moon Army still cannot escape the shadow of death. There are still a large number of wounded Japanese soldiers, and even the sergeant team leader who is slightly injured has no car or horse to use. He can use his legs to continue that "
"When is the time to die?" Death Walking Tour.
The bulk of the soldiers could march on foot without carriages or horses, but the distinguished brigade commander, Major General Morishima Kurogai, had no choice but to do so.
Because the entire eastern half of his body was crushed and fractured by the tall horse's corpse.
Major General Morishima Kurokai, who was destined to spend half of his life in a wheelchair even if he was alive, was walking outside a Type 95 four-wheel drive reconnaissance vehicle.
While enduring the severe pain in his body, and at the same time bearing the sight of his troops, who had ended up like Ruming, his heart collapsed, and he continued to move forward with strong regret and anger.
"Baga! The people in the Kwantung Army Headquarters are simply stupid pigs! A bunch of drunkards and rice sacks!"
"It is clear that the Russians are powerful and are launching unprecedented air raids and artillery bombardments, but they are begging them to attack without providing any cover or support! The lonely battle has ended in such a defeat before. Does he want to ask the idiots at the Kwantung Army headquarters what they are doing?
What do you think!"
There are only two alliances in the Leg East. That attack brought not only the old main alliance, but also the old team that I brought up with one leg.
It turns out that I didn’t even see what the Russians looked like, but they were blown to pieces and turned into what Ruming looked like.
I really have to ask Major General Morishima Kurogai not to run into such a rage on the spot and curse my mother in anger, that would be called a strange thing.
"Brigade Commander Ge Dong, be careful what you say! There are so many people there and there are soldiers with low morale everywhere. If your message reaches the Kwantung Army Headquarters, I'm afraid it will be a great disadvantage to you!"
The Type 95 four-wheel-drive reconnaissance vehicle is a convertible with a sleek shape. There was a person on the driver's seat beside him, and the adjutant in charge of driving was very frightened.
Are you afraid that brigade commander Ge Dong's loud shouting will be heard by some red deer with a long tongue and then spread to the Kwantung Army headquarters? By then, will the problem in Port be a big deal? There will definitely be trouble that cannot be avoided.
Why bother treating the mule with the attitude of "it's better to do less than to do more"?
Even though the adjutant had spoken in such a low voice and reminded him kindly, how could Morishima Kuroi, who was still angry, be able to suppress his anger with just a few words?
"So what if he knew? He just wanted to let the losers at the headquarters know! An elite regiment was beaten like that without even seeing the enemy, all because of their stupid and self-denying orders!
Even when he got to the headquarters, he didn’t deny what he said!”
Even though the brigade commander in the car, Ge Dong, was so angry and yelling, the Yue army retreating on both sides of the road as the car drove by, still turned a deaf ear and remained silent. He didn't even have the energy to watch the commotion and discuss in low voices.
I have no children anymore, so I just lower my head and pay with difficulty.
"."
Seeing that the soldier next to his leg had become like that, he turned around and glanced at the hot corpse lying dead on the roadside with no one caring for it.
Morishima Kuroi, who no longer shouted in anger, gradually calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he quickly gave his first order since the beginning of the retreat.
"Let the team stop for a while and take a rest. After leaving the Russian artillery blockade, they have been retreating non-stop for more than half an hour. Even if the horses and machines can carry it, people on foot should not be able to carry it.
Living."
Normally, Morishima Kurokai, the leader of the official brigade, would never say that.
Unlike the Moon Army, which has always emphasized that "meat bombs defeat steel bombs", I don't have a body that can withstand the torment, so I have the nerve to say that I am not an Imperial Warrior?
A half-hour march on foot is nothing! If you don’t treat the big-headed soldiers as human beings, can you ever engage in performance art in which the march on foot doesn’t stop until a soldier dies of exhaustion?
No soldiers died from exhaustion, which shows that the intensity of our foot march was very high.
When a soldier dies from exhaustion, when will the test of "meat bombs defeat steel bombs" be considered as passed?
The weakest soldiers will be eliminated when they are eliminated. There is no need to complain. How can a coward who can't stand a march expand the territory for His Majesty the Emperor?
Although it sounds strange, this fallacy was very popular among the Moon Army at that time, and even to the east there were a large number of staunch supporters, and Morishima Kuroi happened to be one of them.
So even though we had just walked out of the bombing zone for more than half an hour, Morishima Kurokai decided to rest for a while.
Doesn't that mean that Morishima Kurōgai ruthlessly nursed the soldiers or something, but if Morishima Kurōgai knew that if he continued to walk east in such a physical state, if he didn't take a breath, he might be dead before returning to the county town.
about there.
It's one thing to suffer heavy losses, but it's another thing to have almost the whole army wiped out.
He was clamoring to go to the Kwantung Army headquarters to ask for an explanation, but Morishima Kurokai, who came calmly, could not help but be rational. Knowing that there are really only a few people left in the army, the unlucky one must be a military commander.
Own.
For the sake of his own future and future, Morishima Kurokai, who had no other choice, could do so.
Let the soldiers rest and take a breath, and treat the wounded on the spot, thus reducing the death rate.
Then, in the truck compartment, the bodies of those who were dead or begging for death were cleared away by war horses, and they were cleared to make room for those who were still alive and had a good chance of making it to the county seat.
I can't say how many more people could survive such an operation, but at least the losses could be reduced as much as possible, so that the brigade commander Ge Dong would not be burdened with the blame and be overwhelmed by the guilt.
As soon as Nomorishima Kuroui said this, the adjutant who was driving beside him was so frightened that he couldn't hold his tongue straight and rushed to speak.
The first update is in place, brothers. Corgi promised to update yesterday, and there will definitely be an update tomorrow. The second update will come later.
