Chapter 329: Open the door and confront the thief (please subscribe, please vote!)
Yes, as Tokutaro Sakai said, the Chinese also have cannons.
Although, it's not a heavy artillery.
75 mountain artillery, field artillery, 150 mortars, and 82 mortars are still the same when used in infantry division-level battles, but if used in a battle of 100,000 people, they will appear very weak.
It is not as devastating as the 200-caliber heavy artillery of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, but it can still make the ground tremble within a fifty-meter area inside and outside the city wall.
Facing the roar of the God of War, the Japanese troops who broke into the city wall area were also heartbroken.
The Chinese are dying in the barrage more than a hundred meters away from here, and they will also have the opportunity to be reincarnated in this barrage created by the Chinese.
This round of artillery fire covered it, but because of Tang Dao's message of "Open the door and bow to the thieves", the major general and brigade commander was awakened and called the Songjiang headquarters, requesting to coordinate the artillery fire of the entire army to bombard the temporarily abandoned city wall fortifications like the last time in Cangcheng.
.
Although Songjiang City is now surrounded on three sides, the west and south cities have not yet entered the decisive stage. Unlike the east city, where a round of heavy artillery bombardment was completed, the Japanese army also mobilized artillery from more than one artillery regiment to play a trick of "encirclement and reinforcements"
'.
The Songjiang headquarters agreed to Dongcheng's request and coordinated the mountain artillery battalions of the 107th Division and the 108th Division. The heavy mortar battalion cooperated with the three artillery battalions directly under the 67th Army Headquarters. A total of 7 artillery battalions pointed the muzzles directly at Dongcheng.
city wall.
Not to mention this, 16 mortars from two infantry regiments in Dongcheng District also quietly prepared their shells and adjusted their coordinates.
The intensity of the artillery fire could almost be said to be all that Songjiang City had, and it was a bit more terrifying than Cangcheng in the morning.
In fact, this is also a disguised way of telling the Japanese army that before I have fired all my artillery, even if I throw the position to you, you better not come in. If you do, you will become a 'shit'!
Having artillery is so arrogant.
.......
The sharpshooter who stayed in the area away from the first line of the city wall was naturally Tang Dao. He knew that the Japanese commanders were not fools. After the battle in Amancang City, they would naturally take strict precautions against Chinese artillery.
Sure enough, the Japanese troops who had already arrived under the city wall were extremely cautious and sent only a few dozen infantry squads to rush to the city. Before the tanks arrived, their main infantry did not dare to rush into the city wall that had little fortification value.
Inside.
But Tang Dao knew that these Japanese troops from North China were very arrogant, and the previous small setback did not make them awe of this battlefield other than making them furious.
Because the rapid progress on the battlefield in North China has given them the illusion that I am the best in the world, and the Chinese are nothing more than chickens and dogs.
At this point, not only the ordinary Japanese infantry, but also the senior officials of the Tenth Army considered how long it would take to crush the small town in front of them, and never thought of finding another way to conquer it because it would be too costly.
Victory will continuously boost morale and bring confidence, but it can also turn into poison.
Naturally, the proud Imperial Japanese Army cannot be intimidated by a Chinese soldier's "mantis' arm as a chariot". If an infantry squad cannot do it, then more people will be put in.
Living up to Tang Dao's high hopes, hundreds of Japanese troops broke into the city wall brazenly. Countless bullets and grenades flew at Tang Dao, beating him to such a state that he was almost rolling and crawling around in various bomb craters.
That was probably Tang Dao's most embarrassing moment on the battlefield. He was really running for his life, without any counterattack, he just ran away and left alive.
But this did not damage Mo Songzi's idol worship while hiding in the trenches.
Lieutenant Colonel Tang's idol appearance had already been reshaped when the signal corpsmen ran out of breath to inform the soldiers on the front line of the city wall to retreat for the time being.
Then, almost two hundred meters away from them, Tang Dao beat the Japanese soldiers to death with one shot each, and finally 'coaxed' more than 400 Japanese soldiers to rush into the position.
What's even more frightening is that, faced with the fire of five or six light machine guns and hundreds of rifles, Tang Dao still survived incredibly tenaciously, until the sharp roar of the shells piercing the sky shocked the entire audience.
The light of the idol shines in the audience.
The sergeant who clenched his fist fiercely almost shouted: I will be your biggest fan from now on.
The once awesome rain of bullets, in the face of the blazing artillery fire, is just a group of girls holding big sticks meeting the bandits holding a big knife and exposing a tuft of hair to protect their hearts. There is no comparison.
When the bombs kept rising, the whole earth seemed to be shaking.
The Japanese infantry standing under the city wall who had just found a temporary bunker could only watch with despair as the smoke gradually engulfed them, because they had no place to escape, and the only way to survive under the fire was to lie on the ground, and then
Take out Amaterasu's name and repeat it silently.
At this point, the difference in traditional cultural heritage emerges. When Chinese soldiers ask for blessings, they can name twenty gods and goddesses with a minimum of words, unlike the Japanese, who can only recite a few names.
Obviously, Amaterasu was not able to do anything at this time. The figures of the Japanese infantry kept jumping up and down as the smoke rose, and then fell down with a heart-rending sound.
At times like this, the Japanese troops standing on the top of the city may still be the luckiest. At least, they have a place to hide.
It's not the dilapidated fortifications on the top of the city, but the city wall with their backs. Unless the Chinese artillery fire can completely collapse this ancient city wall, otherwise, as long as they avoid the falling masonry, they will have
High chance of escaping.
For example, the Pig-nosed team, which was previously suppressed by Tang Dao with one shot and one shot, was originally suffering humiliation, but now it was surprising to find that I could at least run away.
Facing the overwhelming artillery fire, the soldiers of the Pig Nose Team turned around and jumped off the city wall without hesitation.
However, the city wall of Songjiang City is six meters high! In the future, it will be close to the height of a three-story building. If there is mud below, it is estimated that a leg will be broken and an arm will be broken, but the ground below the city wall is hardened.
What's even worse is that the Japanese infantrymen jumping down were fully armed, and their whole bodies must have weighed more than 10 kilograms.
The Japanese army was absolutely ruthless when it came to escaping for their lives. Just run away. If you don't have time to throw away the things on your body, you have to throw away the 38-inch cover with a bayonet in your hand!
No, I don't. Even if I reacted enough to jump off the wall, I still held the gun that weighed several kilograms firmly in my hand, for fear of being punished by the superior for losing the weapon.
However, those who are eligible to be punished must first be alive.
The Japanese infantry who had no place to escape naturally had no choice but to watch as they became trapeze artists, while those who had a natural geographical advantage and took the initiative to jump under the city wall were not much better off.
If you choose the posture of "jumping off the building" well and land on your legs, you will basically end up with a short leg and a broken leg. If you don't choose the posture of "jumping off the building" well, you will basically fall to the ground without making a sound. Whether you live or die depends on it.
Have they finished drinking their Amaterasu tea?
But the most tragic thing is not that this group of people cannot be considered truly elite at first glance.
What is a real elite? It is a person who is in good physical shape and has a good psychological quality. Facing a height of six meters, he does not panic at all. When he lands on the ground, he immediately chooses a roll to remove the terrible impact...
Normally, of course there is nothing wrong with such a choice. The big guys who see it will applaud them with pride. Look! This is the strength of our Imperial Japanese Army warriors.
But now, they are still clutching their spears in their hands. Under the wall, there are still two to three hundred infantrymen from the 4th Infantry Brigade who have just rushed across the river!
Seeing a 'human ball' charging at me with a gleaming bayonet, who would have to stretch out a gun to block it?
But is there a fixed trajectory for scrolling? Of course there is no such thing.
The consequences of using a knife to block it are obvious, it is easy to poke the 'little meat ball'.
The saying "A dead Taoist comrade does not die a poor Taoist" is actually just the instinct of human nature, so those who can protect their comrades and sacrifice themselves will be called heroes. Those who overcome human instinct, that is, those who defeat themselves, are
hero.
But this group of Japanese people obviously do not have this qualification.
The elite who jumped off the city wall and escaped the artillery fire ended up dying under the bayonets of their own men. It sounds ridiculous, but it really happened on the battlefield at this moment.
At least four Japanese soldiers "collided" with their own bayonets. The excellent steel quality of the 38 bayonets combined with the huge momentum allowed the bayonets to easily penetrate the body and bones.
This kind of almost humiliating battle report will naturally not appear in the records of the Sixth Division. The Sixth Infantry Brigade was almost wiped out, and naturally no one would pursue the matter.
If it weren't for the fact that a few members of the Pig Nose Team were lucky enough to survive the war and write down this tragic detail in their memoirs, perhaps these would have been lost in the long river of time!
The 6th Infantry Brigade became the biggest victim of the "opening the door and bowing to the thieves" on the East City Defense Line. In the end, no more than 50 people were able to return to their own position alive.
The former favorite was completely abandoned by the furious Hisao Tani. More than 30 seriously injured people died in painful wails due to the inaction of medical staff. Those who survived were called Xiaoqiang of the Republic of China.
No one was given the honor of apologizing to His Majesty the Emperor, because all the second lieutenant and above officers who commanded swords in the 6th Infantry Battalion remained on the Chinese garrison lines.
The more cautious 4th Infantry Brigade actually did not do well. Naturally, mountain artillery and field artillery shells would not hit them in corners, but the Chinese had a large number of mortars, which were curved artillery guns with an elevation angle of up to 85 degrees.
After more than a dozen consecutive artillery shells fell from the sky, the Japanese army realized that hiding under the city wall was not safe. They began to retreat frantically, and the river channel set up by the Japanese engineers was already within the artillery bombardment coordinates.
With no choice but to stay away from the passage but fell into the quagmire, the Japanese soldiers could only fight for their lives amidst the flying shrapnel.
That is also a retreat path full of blood.
Hisao Tani's eyes, which were watching all this from afar, were filled with awe!
