"Fire" the machine gunner followed the commander's command and pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun. "Click, click, click, click." The two heavy machine guns on the first line of defense opened fire at the same time. The half-foot-long gun flame looked like a monster's mouth.
The flames puffed out from the monster's mouth, and the barrage spewed out from the monster's mouth fiercely scraped over the Japanese forward like a broom. Just a single encounter swept away a large area of the enemy's soldiers.
"Boom" "Boom" The Thunder mercenaries on the blocking defense line changed their past practice of using machine gun fire as a strike weapon, and started bombarding the enemy with mortars directly at the same time as the machine gun fired. The mercenary gunners didn't care.
First, just try your best to shoot out the shells in the box. Before the Japanese army could fully react, the six mortars shot out all three boxes of shells. Then the gunners carried the mortars downwards.
A line of defense quickly evacuated.
"Retreat" The heavy machine gun fired three ammunition chains, and the mercenary commander who directed the heavy machine gun battle ordered to retreat. The remaining matters were left to the mercenaries using Garand to deal with the heavy machine guns and mortars.
The mission has ended at this blocking line of defense, and they have to move back to the next line of defense to continue to stand by. Zhao Zhi is determined to win the Nichinan landing, and the 00 mercenaries who secretly sneaked into Nichinan are also full of tricks. Not only
They blocked and intercepted the Japanese troops who rushed to Nichinan for rescue, and once used roundabout tactics with small units to sneak attack on the flanks of the Japanese troops. Although the killing effect was not ideal, at least they slowed down the movement of the Japanese troops.
Time is everything. Whether it is the American mercenary troops that have begun to land on Nichinan or the Japanese army that is trying their best to return to Nara, it will take time. When he learned the news that the US fleet attacked Nara and implemented the landing, Okamura Neji was shocked.
The troops that had been assembled in Yamaguchi Prefecture were urgently ordered to move to Nara Prefecture. Not only that, Okamura Neiji also transferred back the aviation troops stationed on Kyushu Island to support the Nara garrison. The two local divisions stationed in Kyoto and Osaka also urgently
Going south, Okamura Neiji didn't want them all to be able to block the landing US troops. He just wanted the two local divisions to hold them back.
Kitakyushu Bay was full of ships transporting troops back and forth. Zhao Zhi, who was besieged in Fukuoka, had become a lost dog in the eyes of Okamura Neiji. Naturally, it would not take so many troops to contain a lost dog, so Okamura Neiji
Only the Fourth Division and a local division were left to continue the siege of Fukuoka. All other troops were transferred south to Honshu Island to assist Nara. The Nichinan Landing Battle took place after Okamura Neji took a plane to Honshu Island.
, Okamura Neji, who was out of reach, had to mobilize a Kwantung Army division from Kitakyushu to go south to Nichinan. He believed that a Kwantung Army division was more than enough to deal with a mere 00 Thunder mercenaries with only light weapons.
But the facts proved that Okamura Neji was very wrong. Before he was confident enough to drive the U.S. troops who landed in Nara into the sea, the Rockman family's ocean-going fleet had successfully unloaded cargo in Nichinan, and the 5,000 people whom Old Rhodes had high hopes for
American mercenaries have also come ashore to join Zhang Jinquan and the others. The situation on Kyushu Island changed with the landing of a large number of American mercenaries. Hundreds of Thunder mercenaries deployed by Zhao Zhi outside Fukuoka used modified Thor assault weapons.
Chariot took the lead in starting the counterattack. The Fourth Division was indeed a useless division. Although this was their home field, facing the powerful protection and firepower of the Thor Chariot, the Fourth Division had no choice but to shrink its defense line and get out of the way of the encirclement.
Weapons and equipment are not the most important thing in the war. The Japanese army, which can use bolt-action rifles, faces Thor machine guns with a fire rate of more than 300 rounds per minute, as well as tanks and howitzers landed by American mercenary troops. Faced with the sudden thunder
How could the Fourth Division withstand the powerful firepower that broke out? The Thunder mercenaries who had been fighting continuously for more than half a month had exhausted almost all their physical strength. Even Zhao Zhi himself was struggling to hold on, but the Fourth Division shrank.
When the strength of the troops caused gaps in the encirclement, the mercenaries still showed strong fighting spirit and fighting capacity.
The mercenaries who were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the mountains had long been simmering with anger. After receiving the order to attack, these mercenaries who had been forcibly restrained by Zhao Zhi were like wild horses that had escaped the reins. They used almost every weapon they knew.
They began to use all means to attack the Japanese troops that surrounded them, and the Fourth Division became their first target. The Fourth Division, which was called the cowardly division, was not as cowardly as everyone thought. At any rate, the Fourth Division
The regiment is also one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army. The Fourth Division organized by the Class A Division is a behemoth with more than 18,000 soldiers.
The size of the fourth division is only compared to the small group of mercenaries attacking. The hippopotamus is huge enough, but as long as it is targeted by prairie jackals, there is no guarantee that it will not end up being bitten and bruised. At this time, Zhao Zhi's men
Those mercenaries were like a group of jackals looking for food with red eyes, and the Fourth Division, which was numerous but weak in combat effectiveness, was their target. The wolf pack tactics were used to the extreme by the mercenaries.
, the troops of the 4th Division who were ordered to retreat and assemble would only end up being scattered and routed as long as they were bitten by them.
"Don't stop, continue to pursue, continue to pursue." After replenishing ammunition for the Thor tank for the third time, Tang Lei, who commanded the peripheral mercenaries, ordered to continue chasing the scattered Japanese troops. "Don't use Thor, use the Japanese machine guns we captured to chase these
Skirmishers, keep the Thunder God and use it in the right place." The ammunition supplied for the third time is already the last ammunition reserve in Tang Lei's hand. This was accumulated by the logistics staff despite Zhao Zhi's orders many times. Tang Lei
Now, the skilled tank troops have only defeated the peripheral troops of the Fourth Division. Once the Thor machine guns run out of ammunition, the rampaging Thor tanks will only become a living target for the Japanese army.
Fukuoka County has become a mess. The Fourth Division doesn't know why Thunder, which has been besieged for three days, still has the strength to fight back. The local divisions that cooperate with them try to use superior forces to attack Zhao Zhi and his 3,000 mercenaries. Unfortunately, they are defeated.
What was defeated was the local division that had been established for less than 7 months. Almost all the officers in the "Baga" Fourth Division were secretly cursing Okamura Neiji. If Okamura Neiji hadn't ordered the transfer,
Without other troops to rush to aid the state, the Fourth Division may not face such an unbearable situation alone.
The Fourth Division thought about going north and retreating to Kitakyushu, but unfortunately the road to the north was blocked by those damn South Asian natives. The South Asian natives who had learned to use firearms in combat broke out with a force even more powerful than that of the Fourth Division.
Unless the Fourth Division is willing to pay the price of increased casualties, they will be stuck in Fukuoka by the hastily assembled mixed forces.
What surprised Zhao Zhi most was the mixed force blocking the road heading north. Zhao Zhi didn't even know how this mixed force of about 9,000 people managed to escape the encirclement and pursuit of the North Korean divisions in Kitakyushu.
But they have indeed blocked the way for the Fourth Division to go north, which was enough to surprise Zhao Zhi. "Sir, the Fourth Division has raised the white flag. They have sent representatives to negotiate with us." Ling Zhao Zhi said.
Another news that surprised Zhao Zhi came so suddenly that even Zhao Zhi couldn't believe it. The 4th Division, which was attacked from both sides by mercenaries and mixed troops, actually chose to surrender.
Onohara, who served as a messenger for the Fourth Division, had been killed in the melee. This time the Fourth Division sent a major officer who could speak a few words in English. He brought Sekihara, the commander of the Fourth Division.
Several requests made by Liu. "Dear Commander, on behalf of the division commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sekihara Liu, I will discuss the armistice agreement with you in the future. These are some small demands of our fourth division. As long as your ministry agrees to these conditions, we will
The Fourth Division will unconditionally lay down its weapons and stop fighting." The Japanese major who was sent to the headquarters by the mercenary team did not know what military rank Zhao Zhi was, so he had to refer to Zhao Zhi as a general commander.
Several of the conditions proposed by Sekihara Roku were nothing to Zhao Zhi, but one of the conditions regarding the Fourth Division retaining a certain amount of weapons and equipment made Zhao Zhi frown a little. "I should serve your Lieutenant General Sekihara Roku when I go back."
, we basically agree to these conditions, but you want to keep a certain number of weapons and equipment, which is absolutely not allowed." Zhao Zhi took out a cigar and held it in his mouth, and continued expressionlessly, "
If you surrender now, you can return to your hometown alive. If you don't surrender, I will order you all to be killed, and then you will all be buried on Kyushu Island to be used as fertilizer for the farmland here."
There was an obvious coldness in Zhao Zhi's words. The Japanese major who had originally looked down on Zhao Zhi realized that the young-looking guy in front of him was actually Zhao Zhi. He was the Zhao Zhi who was hated by the military and was hated by two people.
The Japanese major who was escorted all the way back by a mercenary team didn't know how he got back. It wasn't until he met the division commander Sekihara Roku that the Japanese major realized that he had been coming back with trembling legs.
Handing over the division flag of the Fourth Division and his own sword, the division commander Sekihara Roku breathed a long sigh of relief. The huge pressure that had been weighing on his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant. These young men from Osaka finally
He saved his life. "Your Excellency, Commander, I am very grateful to you for accepting our surrender, and also thank you for setting aside a place for us to house our fourth division." He bowed deeply to Zhao Zhi, who had already bowed his head half a century ago.
Sekihara Roku straightened his body, and the decadent air he had when he first met Zhao Zhi was completely gone.
"Lieutenant General, I have to say that your choice is correct." Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand to Sekihara Roku to sit down, and took out his own cigar and handed one to Sekihara Roku, "The US Pacific Fleet is in
To make a feint attack and landing on Nara, Okamura Neiji not only transferred all the troops from Kyushu Island to support Honshu, but also transferred all the local divisions there. And here, just two days later, another of my troops
It will land in Honshu. How long do you think Honshu can hold on under the attack from the north and the south? Maybe the current Kyushu will be the future of Honshu."
Seeing the place where Zhao Zhi was at the beginning of the map, Sekihara Roku was stunned. He didn't even know that the cigar in his hand fell to the ground. The place Zhao Zhi pointed to was actually Fukagawa Bay. Sekihara Roku couldn't help but look at it.
Cursing Zhao Zhi in his heart that he is simply a devil.
