In fact, Katamura did not respond truthfully. He evaded the important points and only talked about how many people came over, but did not say that most of the Japanese who are now staying on Mianchuan Island and trapped in the Yangtze River have gone to see Amaterasu. Most of them were lying in a pool of blood and groaning. How many of these people could survive in the end was really unknown. You must know that the Xuebing Army enforced battlefield discipline without any water at all, and Yamamuro Zongwu As well as the bunker group battle group led by two Japanese army officers, the total number is less than 3,000 people. Many of these people have been injured.
Of the nearly 40,000 Japs, the only ones who can be considered alive now are actually the 4,000 who crossed the river.
With only about 500 cannons, they actually achieved such fruitful results. This is unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
From then on, Mianchuan Island is destined to become another historical milestone for the Xuebing Army. At the same time, it will also become a nightmare for the Japanese army.
Gunfire was rumbling outside, and in the medical room of Bunker No. 4, Ouyang Yun sat quietly, holding Bai Liusu's hand, with an extremely calm expression on his face.
When the signal flare was raised, he had already anticipated the outcome of this battle. As a time traveler, he knew better than anyone else the power of intensive bombardment of a narrow area by artillery, and naturally he was more confident than others.
The most dangerous and difficult period has passed, both for Madang Fortress and for Bai Liusu. Although she has no signs of waking up, her body temperature has dropped and her heartbeat is normal. All of this made Ouyang Yun calm down. After going crazy for a while, he finally behaved like a commander-in-chief.
Regarding Ouyang Yun's arrival, except for He Zhengjiang and others who had to express their opposition based on the overall situation, other middle and low-level officers welcomed and supported Ouyang Yun with both hands. For them, the commander-in-chief was an undefeated legend. With him here, no matter how difficult the battle, it is possible to win, and today's battle will definitely become a typical example.
When Ouyang Yun left, Chen Jiayao was responsible for accompanying Bai Liusu. Out of guilt, she always felt that Bai Liusu would encounter this disaster because of her own reasons. When she first heard that Bai Liusu was injured, she even had the idea that if time could go back, she would choose to escape from her relationship with Ouyang Yun to avoid such a thing from happening.
When the bombardment began, the Japanese army's offensive against the bunker group became more and more crazy. More and more Japanese soldiers launched suicide attacks. This caused the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Xuexi Division to increase sharply. Not long after Ouyang Yun returned, Chen Jiayao hurriedly rushed to Bunker No. 5 participated in the rescue work, and Ouyang Yun naturally took over the responsibility of taking care of Bai Liusu.
Bunker No. 5 is now facing some Japs led by Yamashiro Zongwu.
Yamamuro Somu gathered more than 6,000 people along the way to support the front line. They were attacked by artillery fire during the march. In the end, only more than 1,000 people arrived safely. The soldiers around him fell in pieces. This made Yamamuro Munemu feel heartbroken. He really couldn't understand. Why did a good offensive battle end like this? Then I thought, why did Okamura Neji launch an attack on Mianchuan Island first? The direction of Penglang Island and even the direction of Qianjiawan upstream of Madang Fortress are very difficult. It’s a good landing place. Why do you want to come here to try the hard nut of Mianchuan Island?
There are many Japs who hold this idea. For example, Yamada Johji was directly hit by a shell and turned into a pile of minced meat to see Amaterasu. Yamada Johji was too far forward, and at that time, people gathered around him. There were too many Japs. Zhang Tianquan saw them clearly through the telescope, so he gave an order to mobilize a regiment of artillery to carry out a covering bombardment of his area. Well, when he heard the sound of the shells breaking through the air, there were groups of people around Yamada Johji. The Japanese rushed to protect him, but in the end, they were all swallowed up by gunfire.
By the side of Guantian, Colonel Canaan had gathered his spirits and was preparing to launch the most violent and brutal attack to retaliate against the cadet army who had brainwashed Junko. The Japs he sent to sneak attack the Ganqinling Artillery Regiment came back one after another. Captain Qiu Shan Yun's first words when he saw him were: "Colonel, retreat quickly, Mianchuan Island, the main force of our army on Mianchuan Island has been defeated by the Chinese."
Qiu Shan Shaoyun did not carry out Canaan's order and led the troops to retreat without authorization. Canaan, who was in a very bad mood, suddenly had the urge to kill as a warning to others. After hearing this, he had to temporarily suppress the murderous intention in his heart. Said: "Lieutenant Colonel Akiyama, please pay attention to your words. There are nearly 40,000 imperial troops on Mianchuan Island."
Akiyama witnessed it with his own eyes through the telescope. He said with a sad face: "Colonel, I saw it all with my own eyes. Colonel, you don't know, the tragedy of the imperial army on Mianchuan Island is too horrible to watch. The Chinese people are too vicious. They used at least a thousand cannons to launch a volley. Mianchuan Island is only a big place. With the Chinese style of fighting, no matter how many imperial troops there are, they can't withstand the bombardment. Your Excellency, think about it, what if that person were to use the cannon? Turn around..."
If Zhang Tianquan's artillery bombardment lasted for a quarter of an hour, it gave the Japanese troops on Mianchuan Island a physical and mental hell-like blow, then for the Japanese troops at Guantianpan, it was a very strong spiritual shock. When they were still on the north shore , they had already seen the power of the artillery of the Xuebing Army. At that time, because the target of the artillery of the Xuebing Army was the gunboats on the Yangtze River, and the gunboats were widely scattered, they did not see the intensity of the regional bombardment, that is, They didn't feel that it was very scary. Now, they were very close to Mianchuan Island and the artillery firing position of the Xuebing Army, and they had experienced the power of small-scale shelling before. In this way, they could empathize with the experiences of their colleagues on Mianchuan Island.
Regardless of whether Canaan admits it or not, what Takahashi Ryoko just said has had a great negative impact on the officers and soldiers under his command, especially the grassroots soldiers. It can be said that the soldiers under his command are more powerful at this time than at any other time. Fragile, as for the retreat of Akiyama's brigade, in fact, this was not what Akiyama meant. He could not bear the fear of war among the soldiers below. He was worried that fighting in this state would only be counterproductive, so he had no choice but to issue the retreat order.
They detoured around Hanaya, getting closer to Mianchuan Island, and were more moved by the shocking scene of "A Thousand Guns of Fire", which naturally dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
At this time, the women's regiment, because of Takahashi's injury, was filled with a desire to fight among the female soldiers. In their opinion, Canaan, this devil, was so unmanly and simply too abominable. He is really capable of such cruelty. It is no wonder that there is a legend that all the little Japs are not human. Looking at the performance of this Japs officer, isn’t it true? Japanese women can do such great things for China’s anti-Japanese cause. sacrifice, how can we, as Chinese women, not perform better?
Once this kind of thought arises, other negative emotions in the female soldiers' hearts are slowly forgotten.
The performance of the Women's Group fell into the eyes of the Japanese, making them more and more suspicious. The appearance of this group of female soldiers was simply a plan of the Xuebing Army. I don't know how many tricks the Xuebing Army had behind them, and they became more and more suspicious. Become anxious,
