Chapter 339 Disguise
Yes, although the lieutenant general division commander was killed, there was still a major general brigade commander in charge, and the panicked Japanese army quickly calmed down.
An infantry squad surrounded the entire headquarters. Tokutaro Sakai, who hid in the trenches, personally scrutinized the staff officers at the headquarters. Everyone must accurately recall what they were doing at a certain time.
Obviously, that is wasted effort.
But for a cautious major general, that is more important than the extremely fierce battlefield in the city. If he doesn't do this, he, as a major general, will come to an end.
The other three infantry squads of 150 Japanese troops rushed into the wide wilderness in front of them in small units with murderous intent.
According to the ballistic analysis of Hisao Tani who was shot in the forehead facing Matsue Castle, the gunman who killed him must have been lurking in the wilderness up to a kilometer wide.
As for how the gunman lurked among them without being discovered, the Japanese were not stupid either, and they quickly figured out the reason.
The only corpses were the hundreds of corpses left on the front line during the early morning siege.
The gunman must be among them, and every corpse is a key suspect.
The distance will not be too far, otherwise, no one in this world can accurately hit the forehead with an ordinary 38-type rifle at a long distance.
Knowing that there are sharpshooters in the East City, almost no one in the Pig Nose Team can survive. Even those who survive are seriously wounded soldiers who are still struggling to survive in the field hospital. How can they think of reporting to their superiors that there is a terrible person in Songjiang City? Sharpshooter?
In fact, even if it is reported, it will not cause much repercussions. On such a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are invested by both sides, what can even a sharpshooter, let alone a sharpshooter, do?
The battle of a large army relies on the whole body and the team! What matters is who of the two sides can withstand greater casualties, and what tests the tenacity of the entire officers and soldiers. The one who can persevere to the end despite huge battle losses will be the final winner.
No one, not even a general, can change the entire situation of the war on his own.
Yes, the Japanese army has a very strong point of view. The little butterfly from the future can't do the same. He can't change the situation of the battle, but he can make the battlefield become something it shouldn't be.
The Songjiang defenders still suffered heavy casualties this time, but before that, the Japanese Tenth Army, which had held its head high, was also beaten to a pulp.
The Tenth Army, which had aircraft and artillery and a strength far exceeding that of the Songjiang defenders, did not have an overwhelming advantage this time, but was forced to engage in a meat grinder-style urban offensive and defensive battle.
It was not that the Japanese army did not try to send out baggage troops to march toward Kunshan from the road that had been destroyed by explosives a few kilometers away from Songjiang City when the fighting between the two sides was the most intense.
Dansa's cavalry unit who was out to keep an eye on the Japanese army quickly reported the Japanese army's intentions to Songjiang. The 75 mountain artillery with a range of up to 6,000 meters used a row of shells to blast a Japanese army's baggage squadron into flesh and blood on the ground.
It completely extinguished the intention of the Tenth Army to go south to Kunshan without a head-on confrontation with Songjiang.
As long as they want to seize the rear flank of the Chinese army in the west of Shanghai, they must break open the hard nut of Songjiang.
It was the Japanese army's conventional judgment on the gunmen that rushed to the wilderness to search and focused on the area 200 meters away from the headquarters. This was Tang Dao's only chance of survival.
Because it's going to be dark.
Otherwise, even if Tang Dao had three heads and six arms, it would not be able to compete with more than a hundred fully armed Japanese troops in such a wilderness with almost no cover.
In fact, it is not that there were no Japanese soldiers who discovered Tang Dao. After Tang Dao fired, a Japanese soldier looked at Tang Dao's direction in horror.
Because it was really too close. He could see Tang Dao's stern gaze towards him.
That was the Japanese signal corpsman who had just delivered a message from the frontline colonel commander to the headquarters.
The conscientious signal soldier returned to the team immediately after the report. In Hisao Tani's vision of the beautiful land in front of him, perhaps there should be the back of this rushing Japanese signal soldier.
Look, how athletic the Imperial Signal Corps is! This may also be one of the reasons why the Japanese Army Lieutenant General is so heroic.
Unfortunately, the signal soldier was too athletic. In just two minutes, he ran 400 meters and was only 10 meters away from where Tang Dao was lurking.
So, when Tang Dao fired, he turned his head and looked at the hideous corpse lying in the crater.
He seemed to still remember that when he passed by here ten minutes ago, the 'dead body' exuded a strong stench. If it weren't for late autumn, he believed that it must be crawling with mosquitoes and flies. For this reason, he looked to the side in disgust. Detoured a few meters.
But now, the 'corpse' not only fired forward, but also looked directly at him. Is the 'corpse' dead or alive? What did he want to do when he fired? who is he? The Japanese signal soldier who was stunned for a moment was full of questions. He didn't even have time to think that it was the Chinese problem.
Then, he won't have to work so hard.
A 38-style bayonet broke through the void and appeared in front of his eyes. The excellent steel made the tip of the knife break through the hard skull effortlessly.
It was as if the 38-type bayonet was born on the forehead. The nearly 40 centimeter blade penetrated the signal soldier's head for at least 15 centimeters. The cold blade cut off the nerves and disturbed the brain, and at the same time pierced the brain stem into strings.
The signal soldier turned over and fell, but he did not die immediately. There was a creepy "gurgling" sound in his throat, and his hands and feet were stretched and trembling slightly, like a frog with its head cut off and skinned, until dozens of seconds later. , everything returned to silence.
It's just that no one sees all this.
The attention of everyone at the headquarters was attracted by the Army Lieutenant General who suddenly had an eye on his forehead. No one knew that there was a signal corpsman who was martyred 400 meters away.
Tang Dao was like a big gecko that found food, crawling close to the ground towards the dead Japanese signal soldiers.
His stinking disguise, stained with blood and guts, needed a new successor, and this corpse was a perfect fit.
Tang Dao, who had put on the clothes of a signal soldier, didn't get up stupidly and thought of himself as a signal soldier and ran towards the city. Not to mention that the height of the signal soldier would never exceed 1.6 meters, and his navel was almost exposed because of the ill-fitting clothes of the signal soldier. As long as he was not a fool, he would look at him at first glance. There will be problems. The Japanese troops who have swarmed into the wilderness will never let go of any living thing in the wilderness.
All Tang Dao needs is time.
Placing the 38 rifle next to the camouflaged corpse lying in the crater, Tang Dao and its slow speed left the area.
Twenty minutes later, the Japanese army, which had searched all areas within a distance of 200 meters, could only expand the search area to the moat, no matter how unbelievable it was.
In the dim light of night, the crawling 'corpse' with a 38 rifle caught the attention of the Japanese search team. Five or six Japanese soldiers approached the corpse cautiously. They first fired two shots at the leg of the corpse to confirm that it was dead. It is disrespectful to the remains of colleagues, but this is how to ensure your own safety.
Then, a soldier boldly used a bayonet to open up the corpse, which was full of strong corpse odor and had visceral fragments hanging on it, which should have been killed in the morning's shelling.
Several other Japanese soldiers were all lying on the ground.
Although it is a wrong target, every corpse must be checked to see if it is the death order given by the squadron leader. What if the enemy is hiding under the corpses?
The reason for being so cautious was that the lurking gunman was too cunning and cruel. He even used the grenades hanging on the corpses on the battlefield to make bombs. The number of the search team that was infected was reduced by more than ten people.
Otherwise, the search speed would not be so slow.
However, no matter how cunning the fox is, he can only despair in front of the big net woven by the hunters. The battlefield is wide enough, but the distance between the nine teams will never exceed a hundred meters. It is like a comb combing the battlefield, never Maybe someone could slip through the cracks.
What's more, several consecutive man-made bombs proved that the enemy was in an area about 300 meters away from the headquarters. Although the distance was still a bit far away, it was in line with the norm. At least four teams were focused on searching in that area.
The corpse was still a corpse, nothing happened. Several Japanese soldiers left cursing and went to the next search location.
The thick stench made them ignore the hardness of the corpse. Bayonets cannot replace human hands.
A few minutes later, a tall body emerged from the soft soil of the unnoticed bomb crater. He quickly took off the smelly military uniform on the body and put it on again, and stuffed the body into the hole where he was hiding.
It was a simple single-soldier bunker that Tang Dao spent half an afternoon digging. The excess soil was evenly spread at the bottom of the crater. If there was no cover of the night, and the Japanese army was not all paying attention to the corpses huffing in blood, If so, they might find something unusual.
But there is no if, they are not detectives investigating the crime scene, and their superiors did not give them enough time.
The several booby traps more than 100 meters away are naturally the masterpieces of Tang Dao. They don't have to be too lethal, but they are enough to guide the searching Japanese troops in the wrong direction.
The Japanese soldiers, who searched back and forth at least three times, never imagined that the target they had been searching for for two hours was the body that turned their stomachs and turned upside down facing the night sky.
No one wants to use a ruler to measure the length of a corpse that exudes a strong stench.
