Chapter 9: Iijima, who lost both desires and desires II
This time the Japanese army had no scruples and rushed all the way to the trenches of the Chinese army. "Even the heroic imperial army could not withstand the two bombings." Colonel Iijima proudly watched the heroic imperial army rush to the trenches of the Chinese army.
He was secretly proud, "After all, flesh and blood is no match for steel. Fortunately, the empire is very powerful."
However, the Japanese troops who rushed to the position were crazy. In fact, they very much hoped that there were alive Chinese troops on the position so that they could vent their anger. However, when they arrived at the Chinese position, not only was there no living person, not even a body
There were no corpses, not even broken limbs. A group of Japs were shouting and turning left and right, but nothing was found.
The mortars that had been prepared long ago fired ten rounds at a rapid rate according to the preset angle. In an instant, the Japanese soldiers who were not bombing were turned upside down and were at a loss. Only under the command of a well-trained sergeant did they lie down one by one.
It stands to reason on the ground that the Japanese troops at this time would be well-trained, each serving for at least 3 years. Even if it is a rapid fire, usually 3 to 5 shells can respond quickly, but the Japanese have taken such a big shot today.
Basically, almost two squadrons were killed before anyone was seen. This was unimaginable before. You must know that in the Northeast, a squadron was chasing several divisions, with 128 people.
The cavalry easily occupied Chengde, Rehe. Under the fierce fire, they were suddenly hit and were a little overwhelmed. Although the time was not very long, under the bombardment of artillery shells, such a dense formation, they lost more than 100 people.
Mortar platoon leader Liao Fan breathed a long sigh of relief. The artillery brothers finally gave him a good face. He was showing off in front of those children of the company platoon leader before. Now let's see what those guys have to say.
Although separated by thick smoke, Liao Fan could still tell from the screams of the Japs that the Japs had no less than 100 casualties.
As soon as Colonel Iijima heard the sound of cannons, he felt that something was wrong. He had not gone to the trenches himself, otherwise he would suffer disaster. Although he had not come to report the situation just now, he still heard the shouting from the soldiers in front.
, there was not even a single corpse on the China position, not to mention any living people. Immediately afterwards, the sound of howling artillery shells was heard, followed by the sound of exploding artillery shells, and the screams of people being bombed. When I heard the screams,
Although it was a very cold day, there was still a trace of cold sweat on Colonel Iijima's forehead. It seemed that the loss was not small. Colonel Iijima clenched his samurai sword tightly and secretly slandered: "The Chinese people are really cunning. It seems that just now
The air strikes did not cause any harm to them. What kind of person is the commander of the other side? It would be best to capture this person alive, but I am afraid that we can no longer request air strikes. If the headquarters knows that the enemy was bombed twice.
Not even a hair on his head is left, and those guys from the aviation force will definitely shift the responsibility to themselves." As he thought about it, Colonel Iijima couldn't help but take a deep breath, "It doesn't matter! Do you want to put the little Ai Ai on?
How many more years can I stay with that old guy?"
Under the command of the Japanese army, the Japanese army quickly used the original position of the independent regiment to build a simple and strong defensive position. They thought that the Chinese army was going to counterattack, and the situation between the enemy and ourselves was unclear.
Wang Jiuling looked at the speed of the Japs building fortifications through the telescope, and knew that the Japs were indeed not made of clay. They were going to fight a fierce battle. Although the Japs looked like pigs, they were not really pigs, not to mention that the pigs got angry.
They also have a bad temper. Now they will definitely not be fooled again. The key is that if the Japanese attack again, it will be miserable. It seems that they are going to be a failure today.
The commanders of both armies are pondering their own fate, and the people below can only strengthen their defenses.
The Japanese staff officers are discussing whether to call for an air strike. It is too late to call now. It will be really dark if it is too late. However, the first two rounds of air strikes did not even blow up a single cap. The higher-ups must definitely hold the people responsible. Of course, they must
Someone had to take the responsibility. A group of people looked at Colonel Iijima. Iijima was thinking about the fate. They didn't realize it for a moment. It was only when the lively staff suddenly became silent that they realized it. The orderly soldiers nearby made Iijima distracted, so they ambush
Repeated it in his ear
Iijima said without thinking: "The Nineteenth Route Army and the Fifth Army are the key to occupying Shanghai. We cannot waste the empire's precious resources just for our meager military exploits. I decided next I will
Completely rely on the warriors of the Imperial Army to destroy the opposing army."
The impassioned words made all the officers secretly admire Iijima's character. Of course, they also gave Yumi some words, which made Colonel Iijima feel very good and seemed to have a much broader mind. Then he discussed with the staff about how to deal with it.
Measures for the current war situation
Wang Jiuling summoned the officers of the Independent Regiment and analyzed the situation at hand. The Japanese would definitely not give up until they eliminated him! He did not know that Iijima did not intend to use air supremacy, so he asked those who had family members to leave a message for their families.
Letters or something, when the soldiers below heard the news, they didn't believe that the situation was so bad at first. They all cast questioning glances at their regiment leader Wang Jiuling. They looked at Wang Jiuling and nodded slightly. Everyone believed that after the few days just now,
In this battle, Wang Jiuling seemed to be the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and Wu Quxing came down to earth. He did whatever he said. He quickly packed up his valuable objects and coins and handed them to the ordering soldiers.
Looking at these brothers fighting side by side, although they have only been together for a day, it seems that they have been together for a long time. This feeling does not come from the memory of this body, but a kind of compatibility of souls. Wang Jiuling's eyes were slightly moist.
He shouted: "Brothers, we are fighting the Japanese invaders on this battlefield today just to protect our relatives at home from the poison of the Japanese devils. The devils are setting fires and killing people everywhere in the three eastern provinces. No matter whether they are beautiful or not, as long as they are seen,
They were inevitably raped and tortured. Even old ladies in their seventies or eighties were not spared. After the rape, their private parts were cut with wood, bamboo sticks, and bayonets until they died of bleeding and pain.
There is also a rumor among the Japanese that eating children can prolong life, especially eating unborn children. Not only can it prolong life, but it can also enhance physical fitness. For the sake of our old mothers, wives, daughters, and fellow villagers in the neighborhood from being tortured to death by rape. For the sake of those who are not yet born.
Nephews, nieces, nephews, or children who have not yet grown up at home will not be roasted and eaten by these beasts. Today we will defend the position to the death. The position where people are in the position will also be the position where people die. Today we will let
The little devil regrets coming to China and being reincarnated as a human being..."
Although the level of the speech was limited, everyone's emotions were aroused in the smoke of the battlefield. Everyone was excited, especially after hearing about the atrocities of the Japanese. They thought that their family members would rather die than be left behind in little Japan.
The hand also strengthened their confidence in fighting the Japanese invaders, including the new recruits, the one present who did not have parents, sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts.
In order to seize the Chinese army's position while it was dark, Iijima borrowed four tanks from neighboring troops. According to the situation of the Chinese army, there were only three or four mortars, and there were only a few combat anti-aircraft guns in the whole of China.
Heavy artillery is only available in China, that is, at the division level. Originally Iijima wanted to borrow six of them, but in the battle with the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army, the armored units also suffered heavy losses in urban areas. Although the China Army had few
Cannon, but they not only have cluster grenades, but also recently got a Molotov cocktail, which is not only powerful at destroying tanks, but also powerful at blowing up people. Once people are exposed to the fire, they can't put it out. It's okay in the open area. There are infantry to cover the China Company.
It is difficult to get close, but the key main battlefield is in the urban area. China's death squads always appear unexpectedly, making it hard to guard against. Iijima listened to Yoshino of the tank brigade for a long time before getting four vehicles back. It took almost half an hour.
But three tanks are enough
It will be dark soon, and the Japanese army is not used to fighting at night, so Iijima must launch an attack before dark. It is best to break through the Chinese army's defense line before nightfall. As long as the defense line is broken, those Chinese troops will be like a group of waiting people.
Sheep for slaughter, left to be slaughtered
At half past five, the Japanese army officially launched an attack. The Japanese light and heavy artillery bombarded the Independent Regiment's position. The covering troops rushed to the Independent Regiment's position, while the Japanese army followed four tanks. The tanks fired shells and bullets from time to time.
Without heavy weapons, they were just being bombarded. The four mortars were waiting there anxiously, not daring to attack the Japanese army. For one thing, no one had a far range, and secondly, no one had a large number. As soon as the artillery was fired, they were immediately taken away by the sentry base.
Wang Jiuling's arrangement was to tell them when the enemy was still eighty meters away, that generally the Japanese troops would hide behind the tanks if they had tanks, and that the Japanese bombardment was too fierce and they would go out too early to serve as cannon fodder for others.
meters, mortar fire, one shot and then go away, attracting the enemy's artillery fire. It's up to them whether they can exceed the number. In war, someone will always die, but Wang Jiuling and the others can challenge the Japanese infantry more calmly.
Forty meters away from the inner position, there are two gasoline barrels mostly buried underground. The barrels contain gasoline and other flammable oils. Wang Jiuling also imitated the Molotov cocktail and added sugar to them, although he didn't know it.
Is there any, but it was added anyway. There was also a lot of glass, iron sheets, etc. covered with some sundries, and between the barrel and the soil, there were mines and an oversized explosive bag, in order to increase the explosion effect.
There were two mortar shells placed next to the mine. In view of the powerful Japanese artillery, an extra mine was added for safety. Two ropes were tied to each mine for safety. The two gasoline barrels were buried 20 meters apart.
The location is also the route that infantry attacks usually take.
