Chapter 273 The Japanese Armys Sharp Knife (please vote for me, please subscribe!)
Two Japanese soldiers died.
But the fight continues.
The arrival of heroic Captain Kato was definitely disastrous news for him.
His captain, Major Sakio, only gave him reinforcements with a reinforced infantry squad of 60 people, and informed him that he must resolutely attack along the long street toward Matsue Castle and clear the 100-meter area on both sides of the long street.
The reason is simple. Major General Kunizaki only gave him, the front-line commander, one hour, and now, one-third of the allotted time has passed.
It's not that the Japanese Major didn't want to give more support to Kato's squadron, which was the main force in the advance, but he was also a clever woman who couldn't make a meal without rice. He had a total of three infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron, plus a reinforced infantry squad directly under the group headquarters.
It would be a disaster for a heavy machine gun squadron to enter a war zone where it would hit a wall just a few meters away, and it would be useless to send it out. This reinforced infantry squad with a strength of 65 people was already the support he could provide to his subordinates to the best of his ability.
The Japanese major, like his immediate superiors, made the mistake of underestimating the strength of the Chinese troops in the neighborhood, so they were punished.
The angry Hero Kato could not change his superior's decision and could only take the risk of letting his soldiers enter a wider battlefield as Tang Dao expected.
It has completely entered the soldier-on-soldier combat mode, which is also the mode that Tang Dao and the security team need most.
There are more than 20,000 Songjiang residents living in residential buildings covering an area of two to three square kilometers. The less than 900 Japanese soldiers who entered the area were nothing more than water sprinkled into the desert and disappeared easily.
The gunshots and screams almost all in Japanese that came from various houses frightened the Japanese captain, and he gave up his decision to hide in the house and take command.
There might be a Chinese secret passage in a seemingly safe house. If a Chinese sneaks up and shoots him secretly, his death will be unjust.
He chose to lead two squads and two 94 armored vehicles forward along the long street, so that he could not only complete the military order required by the group headquarters to continue moving forward, but also use the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles to provide fire support to his subordinates who needed it.
Two infantry artillery pieces also followed closely under the cover of two infantry squads. Once someone dared to shoot at them, perhaps not only heavy machine guns but also direct-aimed cannons would be waiting for them.
The 70-caliber direct-aimed cannon that specializes in field fortifications doesn't care about walls. Once the cannon hits it, all living things in a room will be exterminated.
Facts have proved that Kato Hideo's decision was also correct. In less than ten minutes, the number of casualties reported to him by his side increased by more than 20 people, but the detachment accompanying the armored vehicle only injured two people. All the Chinese counterattacks were in critical situations.
They were all annihilated under the indiscriminate bombardment of machine guns and infantry artillery.
At least five areas where the Chinese who tried to shoot at them were shelled, and eight Chinese who were unable to escape in time were successfully shot.
Their detachment, like a sharp knife, entered the deepest part of the Chinese defense area along the long street, and then moved back from the two wings to attack the soldiers who had entered the residential area to search and advance, and attacked those who were hiding around.
Find the cold-blooded Chinese one by one and kill them.
Hero Kato, who gradually became clear about his combat mode during the battle, after advancing more than a hundred meters, once again dispatched nearly an infantry squad to follow him.
After advancing another five hundred meters, he was about three to four hundred meters away from Songjiang City and entered the attack range of the Chinese firepower point on the city wall, and then left the long street.
This was what he had already observed through the telescope.
Faced with this detachment of more than 100 Japanese troops who marched straight down the street regardless of both sides, the soldiers of the security regiment were also a little panicked.
Their artillery holes and supply points, including their headquarters, are all slightly further back. The wounded soldiers who were too late to be transported back to the city are all there. If the Japanese army advances further and divides its forces from left to right, not only these important positions may be discovered.
, the hundreds of soldiers who are still fighting with the Japanese troops in civilian houses may also be made dumplings.
Zhuang Shisan hid in an attic only fifty meters away from the long street, staring at the movements of the Japanese army, and gradually gained insight into the intentions of the Japanese army.
"Send me three red flares and tell the brothers to try their best to stop this Japanese army from advancing. If there is a chance, we are allowed to use the Molotov cocktails made by Battalion Commander Tang for us. Burn them to death." Zhuang Shisan looked at the show of force and spat out his power.
The two 94 armored vehicles, which were smoking black, gave the order through gritted teeth.
Tang Dao personally demonstrated and guided them to make the homemade Molotov cocktail, which was his last trump card.
That thing also displayed its terrifying power in front of a group of 'country turtle' security forces.
After two Molotov cocktails were thrown on a rockery, it actually burned for more than five minutes, until all the fuel was burned out, the rocks were burned and cracked, and the rockery almost collapsed.
What kind of experience would it be like if that kind of orange-red flame that could burn even stones burned a human body? Just thinking about it makes people shudder.
However, this thing is actually a double-edged sword for the security forces in residential areas. The densely populated residential areas outside Songjiang City are excellent battlefields for hide-and-seek operations, but because they are too dense, once a fire breaks out, they will be
If the wind blows from the southeast and the fire is strong, it will become a cocoon.
Of course, the reason why Songjiang people dare to build their houses so close together without fear of fire is because Songjiang has a dense water network. If a fire breaks out in one place, the specialized fire prevention team can take fire on the spot at any time and put out the fire.
But in wartime, who can carry a bucket to put out a fire?
As for why the Japanese army did not take the lead in using incendiary bombs to burn this area of residential buildings to ashes and completely occupy this area without firing a single shot, in the final analysis, it was because of time.
If they took the initiative to start burning, the two commanders in the city would not want it. They would wait for the fire to burn the outside of the city and then extinguish it. It would take a day and a night to pass.
It took half the time required in the order.
The two Japanese generals were not that stupid, so they would rather spend their troops to completely occupy this block that faced the East City.
The Chinese use their lives to delay time, while the Japanese use their lives to grab time.
The soldiers of the security regiment who received the battalion commander's order to fire three signal flares moved closer from the area around the long street.
Crow carrying a shell gun is also among them.
Taking advantage of the terrain, the crow that killed two Japanese veterans passed through the side door of the grocery store through a narrow alley less than 1 meter wide, entered the backyard of another store through a dog hole, and then passed through several gables blocked by the eaves in front.
shop.
On the way, he reunited with his five soldiers and hid on the second floor of a grain store. Crows surrounded both sides of the 94 tank. They held their rifles high and stared at the Japanese infantry on both sides of the street with great caution. The closest distance was never more than 20 meters.
He could even clearly see the tuft of black hair under the nose of the Japanese soldier who was following the armored vehicle and would rather endure the thick black smoke exhaust that caused his face to be blackened.
As a Chinese, it is difficult for him to understand the strange aesthetics of the Japanese. A man's beard is either a civilized mustache like Commander Wang's to look elegant, or a sideburn to look domineering. What's the point of growing a bunch of beard?
Of course the crow doesn't know that this tuft of hair, called a "sanitary beard", is a symbol of the Japanese people's continuous learning and progress.
During the Tang Dynasty, people from LOW countries knew nothing about anything. When they came to China and the Tang Dynasty, they thought everything was high-end. They drank tea at parties, arranged flowers at parties, and ate raw fish. Even people from the Tang Dynasty
I've learned how to grow a beard.
As long as it is from a strong country, we will learn from it. The island people’s understanding in this regard is worth learning from many other nations.
In modern times, this tuft of hair, known as the "sanitary beard", became popular in Europe.
This kind of mustache is more convenient for Europeans. After all, Europeans themselves have relatively lush hair, and having a beard is also a symbol of Europeans. Therefore, shaving off all the beards and leaving only such a small handful is not only convenient but also loses weight.
Manly, whether you are going to sea or eating, you only need to wipe it a little.
Especially after the German leader also started to grow this kind of mustache, the Japanese who wanted to leave Asia and join Europe also began to grow this kind of mustache, which not only proved that they had strong hair, but also expressed a fashion.
To put it bluntly, without any knowledge or knowledge, not everyone in Japan will have such a hair that will make them want to be beaten in the future.
Hero Kato is very cautious. Except for carrying the allotment box and the samurai sword he spent dozens of yen to make before leaving on the training ground, he never dresses more pretentiously than ordinary Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and his collar badges are hidden.
The Japanese captain wearing a steel helmet at the back was basically no different from an ordinary Japanese soldier. Even the gun in his hand was a 38-gai.
Therefore, Crow, who had no idea about the origin of "Sanitary Hu", did not expect that the seemingly ordinary Japanese soldier with a tuft of hair turned out to be the captain commander of this unit. He set his sights five meters behind the tuft of hair.
The Japanese infantryman with a sun flag on his rifle.
This is actually true. As the most important link in the lowest level command system of the Japanese army, even if the sergeant-level squad leader loses the command of his superiors, he can still rely on the sun flag on his rifle to gather ordinary soldiers together and accept his command.
.
Their role in the Japanese army's command system will never be smaller than that of an infantry second lieutenant.
Of course, it is also easier to be called a target of attack. In the Four Elements Battle, the Japanese sergeant who owned the Sun Flag was coldly shot and killed more than 20 people, so that the Japanese infantry elite who once regarded the Sun Flag as a glory quietly hid for the first time.
Raising the sun flag proves with facts that some people's so-called glory is higher than life is just lip service.
The sun flag was small, but to the crow who had no idea that he had missed a big fish, it was like a bright light in the dark night, firmly catching his attention.
