Chapter 62 The rage of Brigade Commander Major General Katayama Riichiro
In response to everyone's shock, He Feiyang was quick. After shooting down another Type 96 fighter, he retracted the Type 02 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun into his own space.
Then, he took out a Type 92 heavy machine gun and prepared to deceive others, especially the inspector captain Ge Xiaoli.
Fortunately, he was covered by dense cotton bushes, so people who didn't approach him had no idea that he had changed his weapons and equipment.
But at this time, the battle between Chen Jiaxing's army troops also started.
Because the Japanese aircraft group had begun to leave, even though two Type 96 fighter groups were lost, all the aerial bombs of the Japanese aircraft group had been dropped and bombed.
As well as the remaining Type 96 fighter groups, they have also exhausted all the bullets of their heavy machine guns to kill the Sichuan soldiers.
Therefore, the Japanese aircraft group without ammunition could only leave in despair.
Especially after seeing two consecutive Type 96 fighter jets that still had ammunition being blown up by Sichuan troops, the determination of the Japanese fleet to leave these days was still very decisive.
…
…
As the Japanese army launched its offensive operations, the Japs' machine gunners and grenade groups quickly occupied favorable terrain and established multiple fire positions to support operations.
As for the Japanese tanks and chariots, they are also assisting in the battle. However, because there are too many cotton fields in the nearby area, the Japanese tanks and chariots are not very flexible in combat.
It is also because of this that the Japanese army relies more on their light and heavy machine guns and grenade groups for offensive operations.
"Assault, attack quickly!!!"
"Destroy all the Chinese soldiers who dare to charge forward!!!"
"Bring me back the Chen Family Bank!"
Nishitani Hiroshi, the Japanese commander of the 68th Infantry Regiment, raised the command sword in his hand and directed the Japanese soldiers to conduct offensive operations.
Due to the poor performance of the 6th Infantry Regiment, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yoshimasa Matsuyama, and his regiment were temporarily replaced and replaced by the troops of the 68th Infantry Regiment for the replacement operation.
Facing the Japanese army's menacing charge, the Sichuan army soldiers did not show any weakness and carried out counterattacks. However, for those Sichuan army officers and soldiers who rushed up to the positions held by the Japanese army, the Japanese army's ferocious firepower struck quickly.
Coming.
"Thud, tug, tug, tug!!!"
"Da da da, da da da!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The Japanese's light and heavy machine gun units were firing with full firepower, as well as the Japanese grenade units' artillery bombardment. They were also bombarding and attacking with great accuracy.
Even if the Japs don't use mortars and large-caliber artillery to support operations, they can still organize powerful firepower to carry out counterattacks with the help of light weapons.
Therefore, those Sichuan soldiers who finally rushed forward were killed head-on by a dense and violent rain of bullets and grenades.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
The Sichuan soldiers who rushed at the front were quickly blocked by Japanese troops. Many Sichuan soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, dying in a pool of their own blood.
The Japanese soldiers had sufficient ammunition, and only the small Japanese had established defensive positions. It was difficult for the Sichuan troops with inferior weapons and equipment to break through the heavy firepower defense line of the Japanese army.
The Sichuan Army not only lacks heavy weapons, but also lacks weapons for close combat.
But even in this situation, the Sichuan army still fought very bravely. Even though the casualties were relatively large, they still fought back against the menacing Japanese troops without fear of death.
As a result, the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army also started a fierce battle with the 68th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Even a more brutal battle,
Because before this, the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army had not long fought with the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.
So after losing a certain amount of energy,
The battle between the Sichuan Army's 133rd Division and the Japanese Army's 68th Infantry Regiment was a bit difficult.
…
…
Major General Katayama Riichiro, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, looked at his other elite unit, which was fighting an increasingly fierce battle with the Sichuan Army's 133rd Division.
His expression was also gloomy to the extreme. This was the first time since he participated in the Battle of Songhu that he had suffered such tenacious resistance and suffered such tragic casualties.
"Baga Yalu! Although the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army in these places are inferior, why are their fighting will so brave?"
"They are just places, shouldn't they be vulnerable?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Is my army getting weaker?"
"Baga Yalu! Give me an order to have the 68th Infantry Regiment capture Chenjiaxing within an hour!"
"No! Within half an hour!"
"Assault! Assault!"
When he saw those Sichuan military personnel who were not afraid of death, fighting one after another and desperately charging towards the position of the 68th Japanese Infantry Regiment, he also couldn't understand the brave fighting spirit of the Sichuan military troops.
So he looked very ugly, complained about the combat effectiveness of his troops, and roared angrily.
…
…
But what really made him feel uncomfortable was that the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, Major General Kanichiro Ueno, had been dispatched by the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Toshio, and was ready at any time.
To support his troops in the battle to encircle and suppress the troops of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army.
Although the opponent brought only the 18th Infantry Regiment,
But he lost all his face,
In addition to the 18th Infantry Regiment, the troops coming this time also included the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.
In short, these new Japanese troops were all watching a show, watching the defeat of the troops of the 5th Infantry Brigade, and laughing and ridiculing them.
It is also because of this reason that the brigade commander, Major General Katayama Riichiro, also feels that his anger is becoming more and more violent.
In particular, he was full of resentment towards his commander Nishitani Hiroshi and the commander Matsuyama Yoshimasa.
I felt that my two subordinates were too useless and had poor command. As a result, Chen Jiaxing was recaptured by the Sichuan Army, and many Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.
Now it still needs to be ridiculed like a drama by other troops who came to support the operation.
Although the mocking voices of these people were very soft and few, one or two words still reached his ears, especially his old rival, Major General Ueno Kanichiro, the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, whose face was full of smiles.
It’s the contemptuous smile of a theatergoer,
This made him feel even more bad,
Therefore, he wanted to win more and more, and because of this, he became more ruthless, issuing limited-time combat orders to the Japanese commander Hiroshi Nishitani of the 68th Infantry Regiment.
In this regard, commander Nishitani Hiroshi was also aware of his own suffering.
Although the Sichuan troops were equipped with inferior weapons and equipment, their bravery in combat made the Japanese officers and soldiers in awe.
Including his team,
Therefore, after receiving the time-limited combat order from the brigade commander, Major General Ueno Kanichiro, the commander of the brigade, Nishitani Hiroshi, also had a headache. He himself did not have much confidence to end the battle within half an hour and regain the Chenjiaxing.
