The first batch of Japanese fighter planes that took off expanded the search area. Mao Chengcheng's dozen men and the defenders' artillery became their most concerned targets. They passed by the coastal defense frontier positions where the defenders were hiding time and time again. People notice the mysteries in the floating sand,
The remaining Marine Corps Japs from the Ono Brigade started the landing battle again. After the first batch of Japs came ashore, they immediately began to charge. About a brigade of Japs, under the command of a brigade captain, quickly rushed in front of Chen Zhong and others. ,
When the Japanese began to charge, Chen Zhonghe's trainees were motionless, and they all looked like sand sculptures. Emmons was a little nervous. He licked his chapped lips from time to time and glanced at Chen Zhong. When he saw that Chen Zhong's expression had not changed at all, he suppressed the pain in his heart. Uneasy, he made a gesture to his men not to shoot,
One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters. Seeing that the Japanese were about to rush through the sand ridge that represented the first line of defense, many French soldiers could not bear to feel nervous and began to squirm. Chen Zhong felt this, looked back, gritted his teeth and shouted first "hit", and then "charge." He got up from the sand pit, pulled the trigger with his right hand and knocked down the current Japs.
"Tick-tock." The charge bugle sounded immediately, "tick-tock-tock, bang-bang... boom." Gunshots and explosions rang immediately, and all the cadets of a regiment were almost at the same time as the charge bugle sounded. A charge was launched. The French soldiers of a regiment were about ten seconds behind the trainees and also launched the charge.
The Japanese were unprepared, and a large number of them fell down with the glare from the front,
On the command boat, Yamada and Ono felt nervous when they heard the gunfire. They had just put down their telescopes and immediately raised their telescopes to look over. They saw rows of defenders standing up from the sand and starting a counterattack. , Ono felt dizzy at that time and almost fell down. Yamada's reaction was even worse than him. , There are only two brigades of the Marine Corps left, and none of them will survive against the Xuebing Army. The other one has also begun to disembark and wade into the water. At this time, the retreat order is issued. It is estimated that no more than one squadron will be able to come back alive. "Ba Ge, where did these trainees come from? Quick, let Sakai They're coming back," Yamada shouted heartbreakingly, his voice instantly hoarse.
There was no suspense in the battle. Except for the more than 400 people from the two groups of Japanese who quickly boarded the ship and escaped at the first opportunity, all others were wiped out.
The battle only lasted about twenty minutes. By the time the Japanese air force joined the battle, there were few living Japanese soldiers on the beach. "Huh, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click." Zhong looked up, turned around and gave an order he had never given before: "Brothers, run away."
For the French who participated in the war, this battle was simply a dream. Even Emmons did not expect that the battle could be fought like this, setting off smoke bombs, passing through artillery blockades, lurking, and ambush. If you have not experienced it personally, He thought that he could not do such a crazy move. No, crazy is not an accurate description. It should be ingenious.
This is not the most important thing. The biggest gain for the French is that it turns out that the Japanese army is not as powerful as the rumors say. Isn't it? A large number of them fell when they hit it with a volley of guns. It is said that the Japanese army's stabbing skills are quite good, but it seems that It's an exaggeration. You have to remember that this is our first time on the battlefield. Many of our people's calves were shaking when they stabbed with their spears. But when we really fight hard, it seems that we French people have a higher winning rate.
When the Japanese planes began to enter the battle, the French made a new discovery. This discovery was related to the cadet army. After the previous battles, the French originally thought that the cadet army could fight and risk their lives, but they almost didn't know why they died. However, when the cadets began to escape victoriously, they discovered that the cadets were equally proficient in escaping and fighting. These Chinese seemed reckless, but in fact they were smarter than ghosts. This was reflected in the fact that both sides fell under shelling and It can be seen from the ratio of the number of people in the bombing,
"A magical battle." Emmons concluded at the summary meeting afterwards,
The losses of the defenders were actually not low, but because most of the casualties were caused by Japanese naval guns and Japanese aircraft, the French often deliberately omitted this point when talking about this battle, and focused on how they Fighting with Japanese ground troops,
The defenders successively invested four regiments and one artillery regiment. The artillery regiments disappeared from the battlefield after firing rapidly for five minutes, so they can be ignored. According to the French, the number of casualties was more than 1,500. There are more than 1,200 people in the Xuebing Army,
As for the Japanese army, they successively invested 5,000 people, but in the end only more than 400 people fled the battlefield. They also lost 11 fighter planes and nearly ten assault boats.
The second wave of fighter jets released by the "Chong Ying" aircraft carrier joined the battlefield a little late, and because Mao Xiangnan's artillery regiment did not show up, in the end, the angry Japanese Air Force threw all the heavy bombs they carried into the city of Vung Tau, destroying them. The small city of Vung Tau was almost razed to the ground,
The second wave of fighter jets flew overhead and flew towards the sea area where the "Ok Eagle" aircraft carrier was parked. Yamada, whose face had turned pale, said to Ono: "I really didn't expect it to end like this." Then he silently drew his command knife. out,
Ono, who also had a pale face, turned to look at him, his mouth full of bitterness.
Now, they can finally conclude that there are no more defenders in the coastal defense position. But what is embarrassing is that they have also lost the ability to launch another landing battle. Of the five thousand imperial troops, there are now less than five hundred people left. This It can be considered a complete defeat, Ono thought, feeling a moist feeling in the corners of his eyes, and quickly reached out to wipe it away.
Noticing Yamada's actions, the sourness in his ambition was too strong. He gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out to snatch the command knife from his hand, then looked at him steadily and said: "Yamada-kun, coordinated operations by sea, land and air are not easy. Please keep working hard." After saying that, he held the blade with his left hand, turned his wrist with both hands and stabbed the tip of the knife into his abdomen.
Yamada was shocked and exclaimed: "Ono-kun." He rushed forward and hugged him.
Ono looked at him and said, "Please let me die like a samurai."
Ono is very wise. After the battle ended like this, and there was a collective defection of Yoshinobe, the headquarters must be held accountable. Although Yamada is responsible for the closer investigation, the people who died were all members of his Ono brigade. And he doesn’t have a backing like Koizumi, so he’s definitely taking the blame.
Yamada was startled and let go.
Ono sat on the deck, his eyebrows and mouth corners twitching, and big beads of sweat formed on his face. He gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged facing the east, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, Ono pledges his allegiance to you for the last time." He exerted his strength with both hands. , stunned and cut a cross in his abdomen, "Yamada-kun, continue, continue," he said laboriously, blood came out from the corner of his mouth, and before he finished speaking, he stared at his eyes and slowly fell to the ground. on the deck,
Looking at him with a dead expression, Yamada's hands and feet were cold, and he was suddenly stunned. Around him, a group of Japanese soldiers looked at Ono who was lying in a pool of blood. Their faces were all pale and bloodless.
