The Matsuda Japanese had been dissatisfied because they were transferred down as a defensive force.
They had been fighting since the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, and with the cooperation of the Japanese navy, they had achieved fruitful results.
But the Marines suddenly burst out and took away almost all their credit.
So when he faced the disastrous defeat of Lieutenant Commander Haruta, his expression was disdainful and his words were ridiculed.
As for Lieutenant Colonel Haruta's request to borrow troops, that does not exist at all.
How could he hand over the credit to Springfield when he saw that the credit was right in front of him?
"Order the artillery squad to launch a full-scale artillery attack on Highland 103. Order the First Infantry Squadron and the Second Infantry Squadron to quickly break through Highland 103 under the cover of artillery fire, pursue the enemy, and rush to the dock.
Order the 3rd Infantry Squadron to eliminate the remaining enemies on Highland 103. The rest of the troops followed me to the dock for support.
I want to show the Chinese people how powerful our Japanese naval special forces are!"
Matsuda issued orders one after another, and all the Japanese soldiers started to move.
At this time, Lieutenant Commander Haruta was very angry at Matsuda's arrogant and stupid xenophobic sentiments.
But as an excellent commander, he still requested: "Matsuda-kun, please let me follow your vanguard troops to break through the mountain pass of Highland 103?"
Matsuda refused: "Mr. Haruta, you are already very tired. There are just a few Chinese people, so I won't bother your army team. Let me, the Marine Corps, do it for you! Hahaha!"
"Baga, is it time to separate the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps? We should work together to destroy our common enemy."
Lieutenant Colonel Haruta finally couldn't suppress his inner anger and roared loudly at Major Matsuda.
But Major Matsuda didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Haruta, why are you so angry? I just saw that Mr. Haruta suffered heavy losses, and I don't want all your subordinates to die. Please forgive me."
Matsuda made an apologetic gesture, but the smile on his face had already betrayed him. He was mocking Lieutenant Commander Haruta.
Lieutenant Colonel Haruta looked at the back of Matsuda who was walking away, and his face turned blue with anger. The adjutant beside him said: "This Matsuda is simply outrageous. Your Excellency, we don't need to beg him, we will go on our own."
Lieutenant Colonel Haruta sighed and said: "You don't know, this Chinese army is different from any army we have encountered before. Not only do they have an extremely tenacious fighting spirit, but they also have a very cunning commander.
Do you think I, Springfield, am a fool? I had already guessed that the enemy would set up an ambush on Hill 103, but I did not guess what method they would use to set up the ambush.
They buried mines in inconspicuous places like the roadside. Who could have guessed?
Who would have thought of ambushing an unexpected force on a ledge less than 20 meters high in Daobei?
But the most unbelievable thing is that they dared to come down from Hill 103..."
"What you said is absolutely true. These Chinese people are so cunning. It's no wonder we suffered such huge losses."
The adjutant said in agreement. But at this moment, Lieutenant Commander Haruta said angrily: "Baga, although the Chinese tactics are hard to predict, they can only be regarded as average. And the reason why they were able to win was because of their weapons.
Haven't you seen it? A mortar that can hit accurately from more than 800 meters to more than 1,000 meters. What is the concept of that?
Our mortars are more than 600 meters away, and the shells hit nowhere.
There are also their weapons. If I guessed correctly, at least half of the people inside were holding German submachine guns. And our rifles have no advantage at all at close range.
And on Highland 103, they must have at least ten heavy machine guns and countless light machine guns of various types.
We exchanged the blood of the imperial army for the intelligence of this team of Chinese people. But that idiot Matsuda is so stupid. Does he think his special team is better than the army?
Damn it, no wonder they are a third-rate team. Each commander is stupider than the last!"
Lieutenant Colonel Haruta cursed angrily for two minutes, and then ordered his remaining troops to prepare to follow the Matsuda Battalion's 1st Squadron and 2nd Squadron to break through the defense line of Highland 103.
At this time, Highland 103 was being bombarded by Japanese artillery fire. Yangguai and Lao Tie were desperately digging holes with the wounded soldiers under the artillery fire.
If you don't dig a hole, you will die. If you don't, everyone will risk their lives digging it.
Seeing one, two, or three comrades who were chatting and laughing a moment ago, their flesh and blood were flying everywhere in the next second. In addition to grief, I felt like digging a hole.
If bomb shelters are dug, they can persist. If bomb shelters are not dug, they will all die under enemy fire.
It took five minutes to dig out a bomb shelter that was just big enough to hide in. Everyone was exhausted and had no energy at all.
A wounded soldier shouted at the top of his lungs: "If I had known I was so tired, I might as well have been killed by a Japanese cannonball."
Lao Tie scolded: "Don't you have a good life? I'll tell you new recruits about those little ladies in Shanghai. They wear all kinds of fancy clothes, that's how exciting they are!"
They all call me Commander Iron, and they love hearing me tell them stories the most."
When Lao Tie said this, he felt like he was back on the roof of Sihang Warehouse, telling the people on the other side how many Japanese they had heroically killed today.
At that time, he was the brightest boy in the entire independent group.
The sheep crutch sitting nearby cursed: "You're a coward. Everyone else is at war, but you are the only one trying to pick up girls. It's a shame that the group values you so much."
Lao Tie retorted: "You old smoker, what do you know? I have real skills."
At this time, a recruit interjected: "Two captains? What kind of person is our regiment? It seems that everyone in the independent regiment admires him?"
"Do you want to obey him?"
Yangguai's memory seems to go back to the first time he met the Dragon Boat Festival.
He was punched by Duanwu. But it was the first time in his life that he was punched by someone, and it was the most convincing punch.
He still clearly remembered that man yelling at him like a madman.
Yes! That’s a roar and a lunatic.
Now he felt like he wanted to laugh because it was that punch that connected him with that madman.
Lao Tie was also laughing, and he was still thinking about how the Dragon Boat Festival healed his legs.
It is undeniable that Lao Tie is indeed a coward. Although sometimes he doesn't want to, his body just won't obey his orders.
But the lunatic cured his weak legs instantly.
Both he and Lao Tie were laughing, but no one answered the recruit's doubts.
Because everything about that madman, whether you are a recruit or a veteran, you need to use your own body to experience it! ...
