At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, this should be the helpless and sad thought of most Chinese people. But at this time, this is the thought in Sakai Naoji's heart. Sakai has a deep research on Chinese traditional culture. , when the explosion finally stopped, he suppressed the trembling in his heart and ordered the car to stop. Then he got out of the car and turned around to look back. Looking at the sea of fire that stretched for an unknown number of meters two kilometers away, this sentence suddenly came to his mind. ,
The 1st Special Artillery Brigade fired a second salvo, covering a wider area and striking at a longer depth, but the direct damage was not as good as the first time. The reason why the Japanese army suffered heavy losses was due to the complex terrain at the east end of Wucun Town. The frustrated Japanese were eager to escape. In the darkness, no one knew how many people fell off the cliff or stepped on the traps laid by the self-defense team members. Some even ran into the mountain wall or tree trunk. They were not killed by the explosion but were frightened to death by themselves.
"Your Excellency, let's go." Tachibana Motoki walked to Sakai with lingering fear and said warmly,
Sakai: "Tachibana-kun, we made a mistake."
"What."
"We should continue to attack."
"ah."
"It's too late to say this now. Let's speed up the retreat."
"Hai."
"Tachibana-kun, I have a hunch that the one who will defeat the empire in the end must be the cadet army. We can no longer stop the rise of the cadet army. Alas, only now do we know how wise Mr. Okamura is. It's a pity. Tachibana-kun, please pass on the order." To find Xiang Mingqiao, life or death."
"Ah, Hai, I will go myself."
"Please."
Although Tachibana Motokashi didn't understand Sakai's last order, he still followed it to the letter. Just when he returned to Wucun Town with dozens of military police to search for Xiang Mingqiao, Ni Chunsheng was urging his men to seize the time. After filling the rockets, seven minutes later, the fifty-four "Thunderbolts" were reloaded. He ordered the support legs to be retracted and the position moved forward two thousand meters. In this way, it was not until a quarter of an hour later that they started the first attack. three volleys,
This round of salvos was much less effective than the previous two rounds, but it still killed more than 1,500 Japanese. In this way, the special artillery brigade wiped out more than 10,000 Japanese in just three rounds, which is a miracle. , and the offensive and defensive battle of Wucun also ended with a great victory for the Second Army.
At around six o'clock, the east began to turn white. Zhang Rentian, with his more than 1,300 trainees and more than a thousand self-defense team members, began to march towards Wucun Town and cleaned the battlefield along the way. More than 2,000 people carefully entered the battlefield under Zhang Rentian's command. , they walked among the corpses everywhere. First, many self-defense team members finally couldn't help but started to vomit. Then, the cadets were infected, and many of them also vomited.
When they witnessed the rocket explosion scene, they only felt happy. However, now, when the hell-like scene was completely presented in front of them, they still couldn't bear some of the extremely bloody details and became fragile, not to mention these people who did not have deep battlefield experience. Self-defense team members and cadets, even Zhang Rentian, a veteran soldier. When he walked out dozens of meters among the corpses of the Japanese, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The destructive power of cluster bombs is so astonishing. Few of the Japanese who fell to the ground were intact. As invaders, their death was certainly deserved, but this kind of tragic death was really not something ordinary people could bear. So, As Zhang Rentian and others walked down, they discovered a puzzling scene. Many Japanese soldiers actually committed suicide.
"I really couldn't bear the psychological pressure and committed suicide." Du Shuangwen squatted next to a major, pulled out the command knife that he had stabbed into the abdomen, and said,
"I'm so embarrassed by my mother, this rocket launcher is really, really..." Zhang Rentian said with emotion, "It's really..." For a long time, he couldn't find a suitable adjective.
"You deserve to die." Du Shuangwen said, and then his eyes suddenly became bright, and he continued: "Originally, I was worried that I might not be able to hold on this time and had to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains of Fujian. Now it's better, with this kind of mass killing It's no use how many people the little devils come to, Lao Zhang, now I regret not going to the Special Warfare Section."
The Special Artillery Unit was separated from the Special Warfare Section. When the Special Warfare Section was first established, Du Shuangwen happened to be studying in the military academy. At that time, Li Tieshu talked to him and hoped that he would join the Special Warfare Section preparatory team, and he thought that the Special Warfare Section was Civilian troops, so I resigned,
Zhang Rentian knew this allusion, smiled when he heard this, and said: "There is no regret in taking medicine in this world. Okay, hurry up and collect the data. Hehe, we can also get a share of this credit."
February 8th, Spring Festival,
At about seven o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Yun was sitting in the car on the road in Beitou, Nanxiong City, Guangzhou, wiping his face with a towel soaked in cold water. Suddenly he saw the car in front of him stopped, and then Jiang Huangyong jumped out and waved. A telegram came straight over, shouting something,
The person driving the car now was Liu Kui. Liu Kui quickly stepped on the brakes and put the car in neutral, stopped the car, turned around and said to Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-Chief, Team Leader Jiang seems to have something important to report."
At this time, Jiang Huangyong had already run over to Ouyang Yun and started knocking on the car door. Ouyang Yun calmly handed the towel to You Xiaolian aside, opened the door and was about to ask Jiang Huangyong why he was so excited, but heard him yell: " ...What a great victory.”
"What a great victory." Ouyang Yun took the telegram from his hand and glanced at it, his eyes lit up.
Jiang Huangyong was still in a state of high excitement. He repeated: "A great victory at Yushan Wucun, sir, the 1st Special Artillery Brigade did a good job."
"Well, three salvos wiped out more than 12,000 enemies. Not bad, um, it's a good New Year's gift."
"Send a congratulatory message to Xue Erjun. I guess Commander Ye and Ni Chunsheng must be waiting impatiently. Hahaha, first Fuding wiped out more than ten thousand enemies, then Tietou Peak wiped out more than ten thousand enemies, and Yushan Wucun again More than 19,000 enemies were wiped out. Sir, this New Year's Eve is so meaningful. More than 30,000 Japanese were just wiped out. Hahaha, could this be a New Year's gift from the Japanese to us?"
Jiang Huangyong seemed a little complacent, while Ouyang Yun's eyes dimmed a little after seeing the number of casualties of the Second Xue Army listed on the telegram, and said: "The congratulatory message is to be sent, and condolences to the injured officers and soldiers are also required. In addition, Send a telegram to Minister Ji and ask him to discuss with Mr. Jiang whether to issue partial pensions in advance to the families of those soldiers who died in the battle. If it is feasible, ask Liu Yuqing, Jiang Tiezhang and Ye Zhao to report the names to Guangzhou as soon as possible. "
In the battle on New Year's Eve, although the Second Xue Army achieved impressive results, the price paid was not small. One brigade was almost wiped out, two brigades were crippled, and the casualties exceeded 5,000. This made Ouyang Yun feel heartbroken. Japan People use the whole country to attack the student army, and the idea is to fight for attrition. The soldiers of the student army are replenished in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong. Among them, Hainan cannot be included in the normal student recruitment system due to ethnic issues, that is, It is said that the real places to recruit soldiers for the Xuebing Army are actually only Fujian and Guangdong.
A war of attrition cannot be fought by the Xuebing Army.
