Chapter Eighty-ninth My View of the Army of Soldiers
"The Wei Qing rifles of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are so powerful that they can penetrate defenses. One magazine holds thirty rounds of bullets. If there are thousands of people, they can fire thirty thousand rounds of bullets at one time. This is enough." The consumption of the last medium-sized battle has been exhausted. From the humble point of view, this is not the most terrifying thing about the Xuebing Army. The most terrifying thing about the Xuebing Army is that their fighting will is no worse than that of the Imperial Army. This should be why they can The fundamental reason for remaining undefeated in the battle against the Imperial Army..." This is the "My Opinion of the Gakuin Army" submitted by the injured Maehara to Hata Shunroku while lying on the hospital bed after the battle,
When the 10th Regiment began to collapse, Yoshio Jōtsuka's expression became solemn. He said to Nishio Hisō: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can see that the former headquarters cannot withstand the powerful firepower of the Chinese people." ,We, the results we won by using mortar raids have now been exhausted."
In just 20 minutes of fighting, at least 1,500 people from the 10th Regiment fell on the river beach. If the nearly 1,000 people lost before are added to it, the battle loss ratio of the 10th Regiment is now as high as Fifty percent, strictly speaking, the 10th Wing has lost the ability to continue fighting.
"Don't chase the poor bandits." Gao Yongxiang shouted from the Xuebing Army, stopping the troops from continuing to pursue, and then led his men back to the river beach where Qian Shuanglin and the others had previously defended.
"Tourist, why don't you chase me?" Qian Shuanglin was confused and asked Gao Yongxiang in a hoarse voice.
Gao Yongxiang pointed to the dark surroundings and said, "Are you sure that the little Japs didn't ambush you?"
Qian Shuanglin was silent. Later, he cursed fiercely: "If you throw his mother away, I will kill most of my brothers. I will avenge this revenge one day."
Gao Yongxiang understood his mood. In fact, he was not feeling well at the moment. He patted Qian Shuanglin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this day will come."
Even though the Japanese army was numerically superior, they were beaten and fled in panic. Many cadets cheered. The river beach that was lifeless just now, with only the sound of cold steel gunshots, seemed to be glowing now. In sharp contrast to this, all the Japanese soldiers in the 10th Division were silent. Nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers lay quietly on the cold and wet ground. No one asked the commander to go to war.
In the battle just now, the students sacrificed more than 300 people. Now, the two groups together only have a little more than one regiment left. However, as long as they think that the opponent is holding a weapon that can shoot continuously, Bushido will Among the Japanese officers whose spirits had long been molded into feeling no pain, no one had the courage to offer to lead their own troops to annihilate them.
Nishio seemed not to have heard Jōzuka's words and looked at the south bank silently. After a few minutes, he seemed to feel that everyone was looking at him. He said: "You should have an impression of the power of the Xuebing Army by now. It's nothing." No big deal, think about our ancestors, think about how they defeated the powerful Russian army and the seemingly behemoth late Qing Dynasty. Gentlemen, don’t just see the sacrifice of the 10th Regiment, you also need to see them. The achievements achieved, how many Chinese people originally had, two thousand, plus the support from this unit, they have a total of three thousand, but how many do they have left now, three thousand for two thousand, no matter what you think, I I think it's a good deal, Jotsuka, don't look at me like this. The Xuebing Army may have been nothing in the past, and Ouyang Yun was just a clown, but now, we must admit that they have become an empire to achieve common prosperity in Greater East Asia. the biggest enemy. I was just thinking about how many people there are in this cadet army, and how many cadets there are on the south bank. I already have the answer. This should be a division of the cadet army, and it is the main division. "Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone majestically, took a breath, and then continued: "The enemy has already come over with one brigade, and there should be two more brigades on the other side. Of course, in order to defend Jiujiang, they will only do it again at most. Send an additional brigade over, then we will annihilate this brigade too, Jotsuka-kun."
"Your Mightiness."
"When the 10th Division was in Xuzhou, it suffered heavy losses from the Xuebing Army. This time, I hope you can help Isotani Rensuke recover this situation. Continue the plan to lure the enemy and let the 39th Regiment go up. ,This time, you personally command, remember, let go of your hands and feet to fight, don't tempt the enemy to be timid like Maehara just now, and show the majesty of the imperial army."
"Hai."
The division commander of the 10th Division was once Isotani Rensuke, but due to improper command in the Taierzhuang Battle, he was dismissed just after the Xuzhou Battle, and his successor was Yoshio Jotsuka.
On the river beach, with the embers of artillery fire still burning, Gao Yongxiang walked past the cadets who fell in a pool of blood one after another. "Brothers, walk well, don't worry, we will help you avenge you." He silently said in his heart. As he spoke, he finally stopped next to machine gunner Wang Yi, leaned over and touched his eyes that were open in anger.
Qian Shuanglin was lying on the ground. The fierce battle just now had almost exhausted his physical energy. When Gao Yongxiang gave the order not to pursue the poor enemy, he immediately lay down on the ground, and then he gasped for air. After a few breaths, seeing that many people were still in the excitement of the rest of their lives, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Ignore his mother, don't stop being arrogant. The little devil is just retreating temporarily. Get moving and dig fortifications quickly." ,,Throw away his old mother, what I usually teach you."
"Brigade commander, do you think the commander will come to support us?" A soldier asked Gao Yongxiang who was walking by him.
Gao Yongxiang glanced at him and found that it was Li Xiaoshan who had been trained by him. He saw a leg in his hand and his empty left hip. He couldn't help feeling sad in his heart. He held back the tears and looked up. He looked at the south bank and said: "I hope the master and the others will not come to support us, but I am sure that the master will definitely bring people over."
These words were inconsistent and sounded a bit laborious. It took Li Xiaoshan two minutes to understand the meaning. He became anxious and shouted in a hissing voice: "Brigade, then send electricity to the master to keep them away."
"The telegraph machine is broken, Li Liang."
"Hotel seat." Guard Li Liang has been following Gao Yongxiang and immediately replied after hearing the sound,
"Carry Li Xiaoshan onto the raft, he is the only male in the family."
"Yes, Brother Li, let's go." Li Liang bent down and reached out to hug Li Xiaoshan, but the latter pushed him away resolutely.
"I won't leave, Master. I can still fight, and my hand is not injured. Master, I already have a son. With him here, our Li family will have someone to continue the family line. Li Liang, you dare to touch me." I'm not done with you, Mr. Brigade, are you forcing me to commit suicide? My suicide note said that I would be a fighting hero. Why, do you want my wish to come true?" Li Xiaoshan said, throwing away the With one leg, he put his rifle to his chin,
Gao Yongxiang's eyes heated up, and finally he couldn't hold back the tears. "Good brother." He said, waved to Li Liang, then personally picked up a shovel and dug a single soldier's pit next to Li Xiaoshan. After that, he said to Li Xiaoshan Li Xiaoshan said: "Your fighting position is here, brother, you must survive."
"Tourist seat," Li Xiaoshan suddenly burst into tears.
