Chapter 254 A pot of porridge
“Boom! Boom!”
The rising fireballs seemed to make the moon feel scared and dive into the dark clouds.
But the ground is brighter than ever.
The yellow uniforms of the Japanese army looked helpless under the artillery fire.
Hide?
Where to hide?
Lie down on the spot, and the 22 kilogram big thing will be smashed down, with a killing radius of more than ten meters. You can be easily killed while lying on the ground.
In addition, the frightened 94 armored vehicles will also become a huge threat to the Japanese infantry.
That **** can block a heavy machine gun just fine, but in front of such a large-caliber mortar, if it is hit from the front, it will still be a small piece of shit.
Once they start running without hesitation, everything lying in front of them will become their little meat pads.
Hiding in the room? If he wasn't killed by the explosion, he might be crushed to death by the collapsing wood and bricks.
There are no trenches or shell holes. No matter how well-trained the soldiers are, they can only turn into a bunch of panicked chickens when faced with the power of mortars.
Running is their only option.
No matter where you run, just leave this area.
Under the huge threat of more than a dozen fireballs crashing down, the 600 Japanese infantry abandoned the corpses they had carried and ran around in all directions. Some fled towards the formation, while others went the other way and fled. In the direction of Songjiang City, some fled deeper into the residential areas.
The 15 150-caliber mortars, at Tang Dao's request, each fired 10 rounds at a very rapid rate.
After firing 150 rounds of artillery shells, he quickly carried the cannon and ran away.
Suematsu Shigeharu
Those who run back and escape the cannonballs are naturally the lucky ones, but not more than half are so lucky.
The Japanese squadron leader who ran all the way back to his own position counted and found that there were only about 300 Japanese infantrymen who were sweating profusely.
Where are the remaining 300? All killed by Chinese mortars? Then the hit rate is too high!
Of course not, but in panic, some of them ran towards the area where the Songjiang security regiment was hiding. When they saw another Japanese army running over, the unaware security regiment soldiers thought the Japanese were coming to attack.
If you don't kill them, you will be killed yourself. The soldiers of the security regiment, who had only one way left, launched the attack without hesitation.
It was another lively exchange of shots.
The other wave rushed towards Cangcheng. Tang Dao, who had been paying close attention to this place, wasn't he just a bit evil? Immediately ordered to open fire on all light and heavy firepower points on the city wall facing the residential area.
Even if you can't kill anyone because of the layers of residential buildings, you will still be scared to death.
The Japanese army looked over at the main line and saw, Baga! The Chinese didn't want to live anymore, and they dared to take the initiative to shoot, including grenades and infantry guns.
This is the result of Suematsu Shigeharu's restraint. Otherwise, if he ordered the artillery regiment to fire down artillery, not only Cangcheng would fall into the sea of fire again, but the residential buildings around Cangcheng would also be the same. The main reason is that he knew that the Chinese were shooting. This is because there must be people of our own around. The 105 howitzer is sharp, but don't hide in the fortifications. Only a few Chinese people died, but your own people were blasted into the sky.
Of course Tang Dao knew that the Japanese army had concerns, otherwise they would not have mobilized light and heavy machine guns to the wall fortifications.
From Cangcheng to the densely packed residential buildings, from just dark to eleven or twelve o'clock in the night, the gunshots outside Songjiang City did not stop. The two Chinese Army lieutenant generals who personally went up to the Songjiang City Wall observation post to watch the battle were stunned. .
They had imagined that the battlefield would be extremely fierce, but the battle outside the city continued until almost midnight, without even giving them time to take a breath, which was still beyond their imagination.
As everyone knows, Suematsu Shigeharu, who had bloodshot eyes across from him, said that he didn't want to have such an ending.
He was in charge of the battlefield before 9 o'clock in the evening, but after that, he just wanted to send people to collect the corpses, but knowing that the Chinese were still reluctant to let him go.
It wasn't until nearly midnight that the gunfire really stopped.
On the Japanese side, many people were sparsely returning under the cover of night, but it seemed that only about 400 of them were able to return to their main formation in the end. That also meant that if they were looking for an infantry squadron, they would have to add another one. Moreover, the corpses are still dumped in the "dark neighborhood".
This is what the Japanese infantry currently call the residential area that has swallowed up hundreds of their people. It seems to be a bit hateful, but perhaps more of a fear.
In their opinion, the guy who lets the infantry fight in such an unknown environment at night must be a fool.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in the mind, and even the captain of the colonel does not dare to say it out loud.
Because, Silly Que is still roaring.
“Assholes! Idiots! All the Chinese are dead!”
In the field headquarters of the 114th Division, 1,800 meters away from Matsue City, Suematsu Shigeharu was like a trapped animal, pacing back and forth, cursing incessantly.
There is no one else in the headquarters except his colonel and chief of staff, Saburo Isoda.
The two captains of the infantry regiment, the captain of the artillery regiment, the captain of the engineering regiment, the captain of the baggage regiment, the captain of the cavalry regiment, and the lieutenant general were originally recruited to hold a military meeting. After learning the final battle situation on the front line, they were collectively expelled by the furious Lieutenant General. To blow the wind in the icy wilderness.
In many divisions of the Japanese army, the chiefs of staff are like mascots. Their opinions are basically dispensable and they only need to take care of the logistics. However, in the 114th Division, there is something special because Saburo Isoda is He was originally a direct subordinate of Madoka Doi. After he was transferred to the commander of the 14th Division, he was also placed as the chief of staff in the supplementary division originally belonging to the 14th Division, which was the newly established ad hoc division 114th Division.
There is such a relationship. As Suematsu Shigeharu who wants to hug his fat and round thighs tightly, he will not crush his chief of staff as ruthlessly as other division commanders. Besides, this guy has been in the intelligence department and is extremely good at it. After analysis, sometimes the suggestions made are somewhat reasonable, so they are trusted by Shigeji Suematsu.
Just like Suematsu Shigeharu is now stimulated by repeated defeats like a wild donkey who has taken aphrodisiacs, Isoda Saburo can still stay in the division headquarters instead of standing in the cold wilderness like others. Drink the southeast wind.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! A temporary defeat means nothing, and I believe that losing before the war will do more good than harm to our division." Saburo Isoda suddenly made a move to the contrary. Xingzhi came to comfort his furious division commander.
"Isodkun, what do you mean?" Suematsu Shigeharu stopped and glanced at the chief of staff who usually wore a pair of underpants with his cold eyes.
If you fail, can the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? This is Saburo Isoda. If it had been anyone else, he would have served him with a loud mouth. He was pointing at the bald donkey and scolding the bald donkey!
"As the vanguard of the Tenth Army, our division has landed on the tidal flats to Jinshan County and then to Songjiang City. We must fight and defeat every enemy we encounter. Even if we suffer an occasional defeat, Commander Yanagawa Heisuke will not be too harsh on us. "Isoda Saburo is worthy of having been engaged in intelligence work. His ability to tell lies with his eyes open is much better than that of a stupid and rough guy like Suematsu Shigeharu.
From noon to late at night, a series of failures came out of his mouth, which turned into occasional failures.
However, Suematsu Shigeharu's expression improved a lot, and he motioned for the shameless chief of staff to continue speaking.
Otherwise, he would really have no reason to sleep peacefully.
"I remember when the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters transferred our 114th Division to southeast China, but because our division only had one brigade of soldiers, it specially transferred a force from the Fifth Division to form a detachment and put it under our division's command. "Why haven't you seen Major General Kunizaki, the leader of the detachment, come to the division headquarters to report to you for a long time?" Saburo Isoda, who was calmly helping Suematsu Shigeharu calm down his anger, suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the matter of the Kunisaki detachment.
"Kunizaki, that **** relied on Itagaki Seishiro's relationship and only maintained a superficial courtesy towards the division headquarters. In fact, he didn't obey the division headquarters' dispatch at all. Isodkun, it's not like you don't know about it, so why bother mentioning it again." Suematsu Shigeharu was obviously unhappy when this was brought up.
The Kunisaki Detachment was drawn from the Fifth Division. It is said to be a detachment, but it is actually a mixed brigade with more complete combat functions. It is based on an infantry brigade, with auxiliary arms such as cavalry, artillery, engineering, and supplies to become a more comprehensive brigade. The division is a smaller independent combat unit with a strength equivalent to that of a regular infantry division in China.
The Fifth Brigade is a Category A permanent division, and its specifications are much higher than those of ad hoc divisions such as the 114th Division. It is natural to look down on the 114th Division, and it is all for the sake of maintaining courtesy on the surface. Since Shigeharu Suematsu was an army lieutenant general, Isoda Saburo, the chief of staff, and the major general's detachment leader Kunizaki Zheng didn't take it seriously.
"Since the dispatched army headquarters military order placed them under the command of our division, they should obey the military order." A cold light flashed in Saburo Isoda's eyes.
“For example, our army has been fighting continuously and needs to be repaired. As a subordinate of my 114th Division, shouldn't it be time for their Kunisaki Detachment to contribute?”
"This" Suematsu Shigeji was slightly startled at first, and then a smile flashed across his cold face.
Damn it, someone with a background in intelligence is so insidious!
However, I like it.
