Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 273

Chapter 273 The difference between bravery and stability

After throwing a grenade, the two Japanese superior soldiers listened carefully to the movement around them. They were sure that at least there were no Chinese in this shop, but they felt a lot more at ease.

However, the two Japanese superior soldiers still had no intention of going out.

Because, not only were gunshots like exploding beans rang out on both sides of Zhongshan Road, but there were also gunshots more than a hundred meters away, and even further away.

This means that more and more Chinese are showing up. Not only are their infantry squadrons around the long street under attack, but the other two infantry squadrons entering residential buildings from their left and right wings are also shot by the Chinese.

It would be foolish to run down the long street at this time! It would be better to stay here and wait for the battlefield situation to stabilize. The two Japanese veterans did not communicate verbally. They knew what their companion meant by just looking at each other.

“The Chinese are so abominable. They want to use their familiarity with the terrain to carry out a sneak attack on our army.” The Japanese captain who was still hiding in the corner instantly understood his opponent's intentions and couldn't help but roar with gritted teeth. "Signal Corps, send out flares, we need reinforcements!"

It is not that Hero Kato is cowardly. As a captain of the "Steel Army", he is not afraid of facing the Chinese face to face. However, through the dozens of seconds of fighting just now, he keenly felt that in this complicated and completely unfamiliar world to him, Under the terrain environment, I am afraid that three infantry squadrons, two Type 94 armored vehicles and two infantry guns alone are not enough to seize the initiative on the battlefield.

He has the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army, but he is by no means blindly arrogant.

The battlefield he and his men were facing now was the same white walls and black tiles. The houses were so close together that only two people could walk side by side. Even the alley was no more than one meter wide. If you want to turn around with the 1.7-meter-long Sanba Gai with a bayonet, you have to put the gun on your back first, but the **** Chinese have shell guns that can fire ten bullets in one shuttle.

And there is no psychological burden, just run away after the fight. By the time you come back to your senses and want to chase them, those guys who just ran away have already disappeared deep into the dwellings that make you dizzy just looking at them.

This was a battlefield and combat mode that the Japanese Army Captain had never experienced before. Therefore, he quickly made a judgment that if he wanted to conquer this neighborhood, 800 men were not enough. He had to at least double the number of troops.

Hideo Kato's judgment was considered correct after the war, because the number of Chinese troops in the neighborhood far exceeded Kunisaki's expectations.

The Japanese Army Major General originally thought that the Chinese commander would be very bold to invest thousands of soldiers in such a neighborhood. After all, it was just to delay time.

He underestimated the determination of the Chinese people. If he wanted to defend here for three days and nights, he would have to make enough sacrifices, even if it meant exchanging human lives for every minute and every second.

After all, there are only more than 30,000 people here, but tens of kilometers away in Huxi, there are hundreds of thousands of troops and more refugees.

Guo and Wu are not Tang Dao, a passionate young man who has not yet learned to coldly abandon his comrades. The hearts of the two lieutenant generals have been tempered as hard as a rock in countless wars. They can shed tears for the soldiers who died in battle, but If they could live for more people, they would fill the soldiers into the fire pit without hesitation, including themselves.

After making the correct judgment, the Japanese captain fired a red flare to signal for help from the brigade, and then loudly issued an order to the surrounding Japanese soldiers hiding in the shop: "Everyone searches and defends on the spot and wait for reinforcements!"

In addition to the 94 tanks with heavy machine guns and armor, which can show off their invincible presence on the road with heavy firepower, the rest of the Japanese infantry followed the orders of their captain squadron, three in a group, two in a group with their own The remaining shops or houses were used as strongholds to shoot in the direction of possible threats.

Although this turtle-style fighting method was not enough to demonstrate the prowess of the Imperial Japanese Army, the conservative tactics were very effective, and the casualties of the Japanese troops in the Zhongshan Changjie area quickly became smaller.

At least the casualties suffered by the two infantry squadrons a hundred meters away on the left and right were much smaller.

As soon as they entered the residential area, the two infantry squadrons dispersed in small groups to search the residential areas and suffered heavy casualties in the melee.

The Chinese people's unethical way of throwing grenades into various small alleys from the second floor is simply a nightmare for infantrymen on the move.

The power of the flying shrapnel mixed with brick wall debris in a small space is obviously increased, even if it is six or seven meters away, it will be injured.

Those who are dead are dead, but most of them are injured, and each wounded person has to be cared for by at least one person.

What's even more tragic is that they entered private houses to search. When there were many people, they couldn't see the Chinese. But once there were few people, the Chinese hiding in the dark would use various means to attack people. Those who had occupied high places seemed to be able to cover the area. The light machine gun fire points and grenade launchers in the 100-meter area could only stare.

Perhaps their only gain was that when they discovered that there were enemies in the houses, Sanba Dagai's precise shooting and timely throwing of melon-style grenades, and their sophisticated individual tactics made their counterattacks quite sharp, and they also killed and injured some wearing clothes. Chinese men in black military uniforms.

　　However, compared with their own huge casualties, the Chinese were actually at an advantage.

The two Japanese captains were obviously not as smart as Hero Kato. Instead, they were furious and drove their subordinates to chase the Chinese figure forward. This is also a characteristic of the "Steel Army". The more frustrated you are, the more courage you get, never giving up, and a very tenacious fighting spirit.

As a result, they encountered more sieges.

The other two security battalion commanders may not be as determined as Zhuang Shisan. They just want to get through the day. It is best for the Japanese to retreat in spite of the difficulties.

With this mentality, it is natural to deploy fewer troops closer to the direction of the Japanese army, and more troops closer to one's own city.

When the Japanese are chasing after them so recklessly, and if they want to survive, they have to kill them. Naturally, they can only summon more people to stop them with all their strength.

There are nearly 1,600 security regiment soldiers in a neighborhood with a radius of two to three kilometers. The two deep infantry squadrons only have 400 people, and there is no heavy firearm cover. They are really not enough to see.

　　It is a very stupid act to carry a 38-year-old to fight in the streets.

Not to mention them, even the fighting nation decades later drove tanks and armored vehicles into completely unfamiliar neighborhoods to counter rebellion, and they were also killed in rivers of blood.

Two infantry squadrons were locked in a bitter battle, and gunshots rang out in the distance. This made the Japanese infantrymen near Zhongshan Street secretly praise their captain.

At least, after they did not blindly pursue but actively carried out defensive attacks on the areas under their control, the casualties were reduced a lot, and even the Chinese gunfire became sparse.

The cunning Chinese have nothing to do with Jianliu.

In other words, in this area, the two sides briefly entered a stalemate.

However, both the Chinese and the Japanese know that this stalemate is only temporary. The Japanese will never be willing to stand still like this, and the Chinese who have received the death order will not easily let the Japanese cannibalize them like this. space for their movement.

After stabilizing the situation, the Japanese infantry began to consolidate their territory. They must ensure the absolute security of their area and wait for reinforcements to arrive before expanding outward.

Yamaguchi and Kagawa, two upper-class soldiers who have been in the army for four years, faithfully carry out the orders issued by the squadron leader.

The two veterans may have no experience in street fighting, but they have a tacit understanding of cooperation. In the small grocery store, one is responsible for guarding with a gun, while the other kicks in the door and searches the house one by one. They even waste grenades to fill the dark room. Throw a grenade inside first, and be as professional as a future special forces soldier dealing with terrorists.

But the very narrow wooden door did not attract enough attention from them.

Perhaps they think it is just a decoration, a wooden door less than one meter wide, for human use?

Two country bumpkin mountain people will know that smart Jiangnan people will make the best use of space, not to mention one meter, even half a meter, and they will also make a door when it is necessary.

Sergeant Yamaguchi was pointing his gun at a door with great caution, using his eyes to signal his companions to enter the house to search. His back was leaning against the door panel where the crow was hiding.

Crow hiding behind the door was also trying to find traces of the two Japanese soldiers. He huddled in the corner, listening to the footsteps of the Japanese with his ears bent, and even breathing very lightly. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, He even forced himself not to look at the crack in the door.

Abandon the most trusted sight and only use hearing.

The crow is growing at an unprecedented speed, from a gangster whose mission is to make money, to a hunter who can kill humans.

Until the footsteps were very close, the corner of my eye glanced, and the light coming through the crack in the door suddenly dimmed.
