There is a price to pay for ignorant arrogance. Konohana Taro led twenty-five Type 95 heavy tanks and aggressively challenged Lei Jianhong's tank regiment. He expected to be able to fight more with less and use a hearty battle. To complete his first battle with a drastic victory, thus establishing his position as the number one member of the Imperial Army's chariot force. Unexpectedly, he was able to maintain a balance with the enemy at the beginning, and then fell completely into a passive situation, waiting for him to recover from the enthusiasm for victory. After a moment of awakening, he realized that there were only eight Type 95 heavy tanks left on his side, and there were one, two, and nineteen more on the opposite side. Before the battle, there were only twenty-eight on the opposite side. This means that the battle loss ratio between the two sides is 17 to 9. The sweat on the little devil's forehead immediately dropped.
When the heavy tanks of both sides were fighting in the original minefield, Lei Jianhong and Geng Liang were not idle. They broke through along the river bank and relied on the artillery superiority of the Giraffe and Alligator to firmly capture the landing troops of the 104th Regiment. They were compressed near the landing site with a width of less than 500 meters, and then waited for Ono and Mao Yongxing to decide the winner, so that they could completely wipe out the enemy troops crossing the river in one go.
The unnamed sandy land has a special terrain. It is at the turning point of the Qiantang River from north to west. Therefore, in addition to resisting the offensive of Lei Jianhong and Geng Liang, the Japanese army can only break through to the south or jump into the Qiantang River. The direction of the Japanese attack is From west to east, the minefields in the south were not destroyed. More than a dozen Japanese who were driven crazy by the tank guns fled south. As a result, they stepped on the mines and were blown to pieces. The Japanese commander on the south bank, the 104th Regiment Seeing that the army might collapse without a fight if the situation continued like this, Major Shoha Fujii, the captain of the first brigade, asked the communications staff to ask for help from Murano San while organizing the troops to defend. The 16th Division is one of the standing divisions of the Japanese Army. , was originally the elite of the Japanese army that invaded China. However, the unit was severely beaten by the cadet army in the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang. The veterans were severely damaged and have long lost their former prestige. If it were the previous 104th Regiment, at this time, they had already begun to organize special attack teams to counter the tanks of the trainee army, but now in the 104th Regiment, the Japanese soldiers could not raise their fighting spirit at all. Many of the recruits looked at the shadows in the distance with tears in their eyes. The gunboat figures of the task force were cursing the heavens and the earth. They just complained about those bastards in the navy for not saving their lives. The troops had no fighting spirit. The Ono Tank Brigade, which relied on them the most, did not seem to be as powerful as the legend. Fujii's heart He couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. However, as a group of people with the most spiritual poison from Bushido, he would not give up until he saw the Yellow River. There was a recruit beside him holding a gun and wailing with tears and runny noses. "Oh Kasan (Japanese for mother)", Fujii was worried and kicked him to the ground hard, scolding: "Your 'haha (the pronunciation of calling someone's mother in Japanese)' is far away in Japan, so I can't protect you." , If you don’t want to be beheaded by the Chinese, just pick up a gun and fight like a samurai." When he said this, he thought of the battlefield discipline of the Xuebing Army, and his heart tightened, but his tone became more cruel, and he shouted to the left and right. Said: "Get up, hurry up and resist. Haven't you heard of the battlefield discipline of the Xuebing Army? The Xuebing Army doesn't want prisoners at all. If you catch them, your head will be chopped off with a knife. So if you don't want to become a lonely ghost after death, fight with all your strength." Bar."
At the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China, when its reputation was at its worst, it could stop children from crying at night. But now, as the student army is killing all directions, the battlefield discipline of the student army, which does not leave a single prisoner, has gradually spread among the Japanese army.
This role has also begun to play in Japanese society. Regardless of whether the top brass of the Japanese army admit it or not, as the veterans of the invading troops have died in battle or become disabled and retired from active service, the overall quality of the Japanese army is now not as good as before. Therefore, something similar to
This scene on the Japanese army's position on the nameless sand actually existed in all the Japanese army's troops. It was just that they were different in strength and weakness because of the different enemies they faced.
Fujii's publicity about the battlefield discipline of the Xuebing Army indeed had a deterrent effect. Japs were notoriously afraid of having their heads chopped off. When the 29th Army's Sword Team was at its peak, in order to relieve the soldiers' nervousness, the Japanese Army's munitions department even
He came up with a way to equip the soldiers with iron collars. As soon as his words came to the ground, the sobbing people around him actually stopped a lot. Fujii calmed down a little and added another fire: "It's like fighting like a samurai."
After death, your soul will return to the Yasukuni Shrine to enjoy eternal incense, or your head will be chopped off by the Chinese with a knife and you will wander around in a foreign country in humiliation. You can make your own decision."
There are still one-fifth of the veterans remaining in the 104th Regiment. What these executioners, whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese people, fear most is that their souls cannot return after death and are raped by Chinese ghosts. Hearing what Fujii said
, immediately started shouting: "Fight, fight, fight like a samurai in order to return the soul to his hometown after death."
When people are nervous and frightened, shouting can relieve stress. With the veterans taking the lead, the Japanese recruits also followed suit, starting with nearly a hundred people, then thousands, and finally those who could still breathe.
Everyone blushed and roared with thick necks. More than two thousand people roared like beasts. The sound shook the sky, suppressed the sound of gunfire and explosions, and spread far and wide.
The roar reached the ears of Murano San on the "Zhennan". Murano was startled at first, and then shouted to the people around him as if he had been drunk: "Did you hear that, our soldiers have not given up, gentlemen, please
Even though they were in dire straits, they didn't give up. What reason do we have to continue hiding here?" As he spoke, he looked at the commander of the task force, Hazaki Butong, by the light of the flare in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Hazaki-kun, so
Brave soldiers, we must not give up. If these people survive, there will definitely be one or two big shots among them. Let's go and pick them up."
In the era when Bushido was in power, for the Japanese, nothing was more captivating than advocating bravery. At this time, Hazaki was also furious. He waved his fist fiercely and said decisively: "I listen to you." Then he said again.
He shouted to his subordinates: "Gentlemen, let's fight back and bring back the warriors of the Japanese Empire."
"Hai." The Japs responded loudly, and rushed to their respective fighting positions vigorously.
There were still several hundred people of the 104th Regiment on the ship. Perhaps to express his gratitude for the support of the 104th Regiment of Hazaki, Murano shouted heartbreakingly to the left and right: "Don't hold back, go to the gun emplacement.
The soldiers of the Japanese Empire are all powerful, how can it be difficult for a mere naval gun to stop us?"
The continuous bombardment of the task force by the giraffes of Meng Fei Battalion caused almost all the casualties among the naval artillerymen of the task force. For warships, if the naval gun loses its effect, it is equivalent to the tiger having its teeth pulled out. Murano San is obviously still
Stay awake and order the infantry to be transferred to the ship artillery. This is a dead horse being treated as a living horse.
More than two thousand Japanese soldiers howled with their throats straight, and the shouts also reached the ears of Ye Zhao and others. Ye Zhao didn't know what happened, and was worried about Lei Jianhong and others, so he called someone to inquire. Lei Jianhong and others left. He was so close that he heard clearly what the Japs were saying, and they reported it truthfully. Ye Zhao couldn't help but look worried when he learned the content of the Japs' shouting.
Zhang Gongming had been with him for a long time and knew him very well. When he saw this, he comforted him and said: "There is no way we can fight without killing people. Just let Lei Jianhong and Geng Liang be more conservative."
A very strange thing is that when the Xuebing Army started and even before it had a firm foothold, it was because of its courage to fight hard that the Japanese army was repeatedly defeated, thus reaching the height it is today. At that time, after a war, thousands or even tens of thousands of people died. People are normal. At that time, although Ouyang Yun, Ye Zhao and other senior military leaders were heartbroken, they would never frown. However, after gradually taking the strategic initiative, they did not see too many casualties. ,
