When the Japanese forward troops retreated, they snatched several injured Japanese soldiers. When these tortured Japanese soldiers were carried to Matsui Tataro and others, Matsui and others all gasped when they saw their miserable state - the most injured were the most injured.
There were two heavy ones, and their faces and bodies were covered with iron sand the size of mung beans. When the iron sand was sprayed out, it was scalding hot, which made their wounds blistered and reddened, making their whole bodies look like they were rotten. [Fly]
"Eight grids!" A Japanese officer couldn't bear it and knelt down to vomit. Others looked at the port pier with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"This is a Chinese cannon," a well-informed officer told Matsui: "The projectiles are made of iron sand, and there are often thousands of them. The range is very short, but the strike area is fan-shaped and very wide."
"Sir, sir, please help me," a Japanese man who was blind in one eye and whose face was completely turned out begged while scratching the wounds on his body.
The Japanese officers looked awe-inspiring, Matsui raised his eyebrows, and then waved his hand in pain.
There was a gunshot, and the Japanese was shot in the head. He closed his remaining eye with a strange smile.
In front of the garrison position, no less than a hundred Japanese officers and soldiers were wailing in pain. Some people could not bear the pain of thousands of ants eating their hearts, so they pointed the muzzle of the gun at themselves, kicked off their boots and pulled the trigger with their toes in order to seek relief.
The iron sand of the earthen cannon is not penetrating enough to kill people directly. This was originally one of its shortcomings, but now it has become its most terrifying feature. Most of the Japanese soldiers have been brainwashed by militarism, and many of them are proud of dying in battle.
, so this kind of blow that made them unable to survive or die was the most effective. Various Japanese-style screams filled the ears of the Japanese officers and soldiers, and many of them turned pale, losing their previous contempt for life and death.
The screams had such a huge impact on the morale of the troops that Matsui had an ideological struggle and painfully ordered Sasaki to organize the Type 92 heavy machine gun to see them off.
The sound of gunshots rang out, and Xu Mengcai, who rushed to the front line, saw the Japs lying on the ground wailing and dying under his own machine guns. He couldn't help but let out a breath and cursed: "*, the little Japs are too cruel." Then he
Thinking of something, he said to his left and right: "Brothers, we are fighting the Japanese to save our fathers and fellow villagers from being ravaged. We are doing good deeds. Don't feel any psychological burden - think about how the little Japanese treated us -
These guys are not humans at all, they are animals!”
The cannons were so cruel to beat people. Seeing the horror of the Japanese, many guerrillas felt sour in their stomachs, and their faces turned pale and ugly. Xu Mengcai's words of comfort were timely, and many people thought of Xiao Mengcai.
Looking at the evil deeds of the Japanese in the occupied areas, and seeing the Japanese howling and rolling on the ground, I feel much more relaxed.
After all, the cavalry was not as good as the infantry in attacking the enemy. Fujimura Nobuyoshi organized two consecutive attacks, which resulted in more than a hundred casualties. He realized this and called Matsui instead, asking him for instructions to abandon the attack and directly crossed the port and pier into the Santai area to kill people and set fires.
.
Matsui agreed to his request, and specifically mentioned in his reply that he should be free to do it and bring the Sanguang policy formulated by Commander Nishio to the extreme.
The Japanese cavalry rumbled northward, and the fighting spirit was once again concentrated on the west gate.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after a pause of half an hour, the Japanese army launched another attack. This time they absorbed the experience of the guerrillas and advanced with earthen tanks made from military blankets. They almost made a breakthrough.
It was this round of attack that Xiang Shaomin finally saw the bloody nature of the Santai guerrilla column inherited from Fox Thirteen. In the most difficult time, the guerrillas jumped or rolled in from the sandbags without hesitation, holding cluster grenades or explosive bags.
Xiang Shaomin paid attention to the formation of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army formed a group and threatened the guerrilla defense line, sixteen guerrillas rushed into the Japanese crowd and died together with the Japanese soldiers, including a captain and two squad captains. Their
The sacrifice was not in vain. After the Japanese army left numerous corpses in front of the position, they had no choice but to strategically retreat, thus giving up this round of attack.
In this round of attack, the guerrillas suffered more than double the previous battle losses, with more than 120 casualties alone, while the Japanese army paid a price of more than 1,300 people. In this round of attack and defense, both sides
It took more than an hour and depleted the morale of the Japanese army. From then on, for more than two hours until eight o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army was no longer able to launch an attack. Xu Mengcai and the others miraculously held on to the day.
When Matsui Tataro and his ten thousand soldiers were trapped by a small port wharf, the Tianxing section of Taixing County of the Yangtze River and the West End Shouzhuo Department were also trapped by a small river center island.
To deal with the Japanese Third Yangtze Fleet, Fox Thirteen's most effective method was still mines. In addition to mines, he developed a weapon similar to mortars. Using mortars to hit ships sounds a bit fanciful.
It's a myth, but Fox Thirteen did it, and achieved the result of sinking two light cruisers as soon as he used it. It was a slap in the face to Nishio Hiszog.
As early as last year, when Shozo Kawabe and Kanji Ishihara led the 13th Division and the 16th Division to support southern Zhejiang, they suffered heavy losses in the waters of Jiangxinzhou. Learning from the past, the Third Yangtze River Fleet sailed here.
At that time, Nishio Hisao ordered to slow down and sent three mine-clearing boats to detect and clear the mines. At the beginning, the Japanese army's mine-clearing operation went smoothly. It took three mine-clearing boats an hour and a half to launch fifty
There were more than a dozen earth mines and detonated more than ten. Nishio Hisao was very curious about the last encounter between the river and Ishihara, so he asked someone to send two earth mines to see. The commander of the demining force naturally followed suit and used
A small boat sent two mines over.
Looking at the two floating objects that were completely wooden in appearance, Nishio was shocked and asked in an incredible tone: "Is this the mine that brought disgrace to the riverside and Ishihara?"
A second lieutenant from the demining force on the small boat nodded in agreement, and kindly reminded Nishio that although this earth-mine mine did not look very good, its power was amazing.
The second lieutenant's words made Nishio even more curious. There was nothing to do while waiting for the demining process, so he asked him if there was any way to decompose it. The commander asked, and the second lieutenant naturally accepted the order happily. He immediately ordered the boat to sail out for a certain distance, and then
It decomposed under Nishio's watch. It didn't matter if it didn't decompose. This decomposition made Nishio angry. After the outer shell was opened, there was no explosive inside, it was just some rocks.
Just at this time, the officer responsible for reconnaissance on Jiangxinzhou came to report that he had found traces of guerrillas on the island and requested artillery bombardment. When analyzing the reasons why Kawabe and Ishihara were defeated on Jiangxinzhou, Nishio Juzo once put forward this point of view,
He believed that the most correct approach for Hebian and Shiyuan at that time was to ignore the provocation of the guerrillas and just rush through. His original words at the time were: "Obviously, Fox Thirteen just wanted to delay their efforts to support southern Zhejiang. A mere guerrilla force
Team, what qualifications do they have to challenge our Yangtze River Fleet? The Chinese are not stupid, they are just asking for a certain sacrifice in exchange for time. Damn it, Hebian and Shiyuan failed to see through their tricks."
Due to such a preconceived view, coupled with the discovery of fake mines, he took it for granted that Fox Thirteen was adopting the same tactics now, so he sent an order to ignore the enemies in Jiang Xinzhou, and let the mine clearance boat clear the way ahead, ordering
The Third Yangtze River Fleet forced its way through.
"As long as we land at Bazwei, Fox Thirteen's arrangements in Jiangxinzhou will be in vain! Ba Ge! Does he think I am Hebian Shozo? How can a mere blind trick confuse my eyes?!" Nishio Hiszo continued.
He said, sneering as he finished speaking, as if he had already achieved a great victory.
