When Yuesong led his brothers to withdraw, they passed Brother Chao's position, so the whole team headed upstream along the north bank of the Pingqiang River, this time going to Kishida's territory again.
After Yoshida Shoichi heard a series of explosions and machine gunfire in the west, he no longer heard any gunshots or human voices nearby, so he stayed in the woods on the bank of the river more securely than Mount Tai. It was dangerous at night, so he waited for dawn
Let's talk about it later. Of course, Tsukimatsu and the others withdrew, and Yoshida didn't know about it at all.
Harada didn't sleep at all that night. The pain on his collarbone brought him more than physical pain, but emotional depression. These Chinese fought in a completely unconventional manner, gongs against gongs, drums against drums.
Fighting drums, marching with drums beating, withdrawing troops at the sound of gold, isn't that what the Chinese military books say? Why don't they keep their promises when they actually encounter the Chinese army?
Sasaki was even more like a flea. Before, the enemy had some gunshots and curses. Although he couldn't accurately judge the enemy's position, there was still a general direction in which he could hold the machine gun and vent his anger. Now it's better, Shi Ye quietly,
There was silence, so Sasaki became like a flea. Sometimes he jumped outside the commander's tent to take a look, but he didn't dare to go in to disturb him. At other times, he ran to the forward position to look around, wanting to scold the soldiers but feeling that they seemed to have done nothing wrong.
When digging trenches, the clever Ishiheijiro proposed digging a trench that extends separately. This has two purposes. As a last resort, it can be successfully withdrawn while preserving strength. Of course, the most important purpose is to prevent the Chinese army from flanking the mountain.
They charged straight down. Unexpectedly, the Chinese actually launched a sneak attack at night, and it was only a small-scale sneak attack. They threw a few grenades and pulled out a firepower point, just like a mouse stole a few corns and scurried away.
, and what’s even more depressing is that the surprise attack happened to be the extended trench dug by his own organization. Sin, sin, sin, under the weight of guilt, Ishiheijiro naturally couldn’t sleep.
At around five o'clock in the morning, all the Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the entire Japanese position were exhausted. No matter how hard they looked, they couldn't get along harmoniously. They kept fighting with each other over trivial matters.
Harada Tong fell asleep in a daze; Sasaki, tired from jumping, sat under a frangipani tree and started pecking at rice bit by bit; Ishiheira Jiro was still energetic, sitting in the trench and looking up at the horizon.
There is a hint of bright color, the sky will be bright soon, will tomorrow be better?
Commander Liu walked out of the command post, put on a steel helmet, held a Thompson in his hand, walked up a high slope, and said to the officers above the company level who had been waiting up and down the slope: "
The generals will not be greedy for life, and the soldiers will not be afraid of death. Brothers, launch an attack on all fronts on time at half past five. Even if the entire regiment is brave, we will break through the Pingqiang River Ferry in one fell swoop, tear a hole, and take action."
The staff officer shouted softly: "Salute!"
All the officers saluted the regimental commander, and the eyes of the soldiers were full of murderous intent.
After Captain Liu returned the salute, he walked to the front of the 100-machine gun position with his assault rifle in hand and personally directed the battle.
The hands of the pocket watch moved "click", "click" and "click" very slowly. The soldiers in the entire position seemed to be listening to the sound of the hands of the regimental leader's pocket watch moving.
Finally, there was a "click" and it was half past five.
Commander Liu waved his hand and ordered softly: "Attack."
As a result, machine guns pressed down on the formation, covering a thousand Chinese soldiers, and quietly pressed toward the front of the Japanese position at the ferry.
