Chapter 366 Black Question Mark Face
“Lieutenant Nishikawa, when can we take action?” The man scanned the surroundings vigilantly and continued to ask in a low voice.
"Soon, the Chinese soldiers will soon be unable to withstand the pressure and speed up the release. That will be our chance." The man with arrogant eyes looked at the scene in front of him that was already filled with cries and shouts, and he was confident.
Because it was almost dusk, and they would have to wait another night to cross the river. These Chinese refugees who were eager to escape had no way of predicting when the imperial army would come over. This fear of the unknown could only make them more panicked and anxious.
Yes, a top student who graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy is the Major Deputy Captain of the brigade directly under the Regiment Headquarters of the Ushijima Division of the 18th Division. Major Shitaka Nishikawa, who was personally named by Yanagawa Heisuke to be the leader of this task force, has many unique abilities. A secular mind and judgment of the situation.
As the Chinese generals expected, Yanagawa Heisuke did not have the courage to send light infantry to bypass the Huangpu River and attack Baihe Port Bridge, so he racked his brains to come up with such a move and sent a small special attack team.
It's just that this time it was different from the Japanese army's previous detours of more than ten miles to enter the rear of the opponent's position to attack and harass. Instead, they detoured for almost fifty kilometers and completely lost contact with the main force. They were already very similar to future special forces.
The military order Nishikawa Changlong received was to occupy the bridge as much as possible. If nothing could be done, blow up the bridge and cut off the path of the Songjiang defenders.
The two infantry squadrons led by Nishikawa Changtaka arrived in the area near the bridge as early as yesterday and witnessed the thrilling ground-to-air combat. They originally wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle between the imperial military planes and the Chinese to launch an attack, but What almost shocked his eyes was that the Chinese actually won the final victory, and six imperial fighters fell.
He knew at that time that a strong attack to pick up the slack would not work, and the dark night attack plan he originally envisioned would basically not work. The Chinese with anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns could easily kill him and his subordinates who were not equipped with heavy weapons in the wilderness. middle.
Fortunately, in order not to attract the attention of the Chinese, Nishikawa Changtaka had already made tactical arrangements before leaving the formation. He was not going to fight the Chinese head-on, so there was an infantry squadron in disguise. The military uniforms and various long and short standard weapons of the empire were not carried.
Half of the task force was wearing Chinese civilian clothing and was equipped with rifles captured from the Chinese and melon-style grenades that were easier to conceal.
This originally sharp firearm can only be replenished because the bullets themselves are captured, and the imperial infantry have long been accustomed to the Type 38 rifle. No one uses the powerful trophies, and they have always been thrown into the boxes of the baggage troops. But at a time like this Obviously very suitable.
A task force with more than 100 shell guns may suffer in a field attack, but in such a short-range attack, the firepower will be so powerful that the Chinese, who are only equipped with rifles and light machine guns, will despair.
Therefore, after thinking about it all night, Nishikawa Changtaka decided to change the method of attack. He would lead part of the task force to blend in with the crowd of Chinese refugees, and take advantage of the opportunity to cross the bridge to sneak attack on the Chinese bridge defenders with lightning speed. They used cover to seize control of the bridge, and then relied on the Chinese fortifications to hold on. Another infantry squadron was on the periphery to contain the enemy, waiting for the arrival of the main force.
Perhaps it will be difficult for his nearly 400 men to attack the Chinese who have fortifications and machine guns, but if it is just defense, Nishikawa Changtaka is confident to hold on for a day and night.
However, the Chinese were more cunning than he thought. They actually checked the refugees so carefully. In one day, they killed more than a dozen people who carried weapons but did not voluntarily hand them over. Two of them were sent over tentatively. under his command.
Just like this, watching two warriors who had killed at least seven or eight Chinese soldiers on the North China battlefield being kicked to the ground like chickens and shot to death by the Chinese, Xi Chuan Changlong's heart was bleeding.
He vowed to make the Chinese pay a price. Once he captured the bridge, he would kill all the prisoners one by one in front of the Chinese, so that they could experience the pain of watching their colleagues being killed without any resistance.
Those who can join the task force are all elites selected by Nishikawa Chimelong from the brigade directly under the division, and 60% of them have stayed in Northeast China.
For example, he has also stayed in Northeast China for four years, can speak Northeastern dialect fluently, and has a good understanding of Chinese people's habits.
Therefore, things must be reversed at the extreme. The more meticulous the Chinese garrison's inspection, the easier it is for loopholes to appear, for example, the mood of the people.
The reason why the people started to riot in the afternoon was naturally the result of him sending his subordinates to the crowd gathering place to spread rumors and fan the flames.
It won't be long before those Chinese people who are crying, pleading or even yelling will push away the simple barbed wire fence and resist the horses. As long as the Chinese defenders cannot shoot at ordinary people frantically, then his chance will be coming.
Sure enough, as he expected, the Chinese defenders began to be unable to withstand the pressure of the violent commotion of the refugees.
Nishikawa Changlong saw from a distance that the Chinese refugees in front began to cheer and lined up in two rows, and their forward speed suddenly increased.
“Mr. Hase, when our opportunity comes, let's notify others and prepare to join the queue!” Nishikawa Changlong licked his lips and gave the decisive order.
A group of ragged young men, mixed with Chinese refugees from various parts of the wilderness, headed towards the checkpoint.
Yes, the passage speed suddenly accelerated. It was the Chinese soldiers at the checkpoint who simplified the inspection procedures and no longer required to check the refugees' luggage and bodies.
However, there is a rather strange requirement. Except for women and children, all adult men must pass through the checkpoint barefoot.
That was Lei Xiong's order that Erya rushed over and conveyed to Li Jijin.
Li Jijin, who was in a state of panic, immediately ordered the soldiers to carry out the order as if he had been granted amnesty.
Don't look at anything, just look at the feet. What's the point?
Besides, the rag shoes and socks with holes on the refugees' feet can't be taken off in a minute? If the speed is not fast, then something is wrong.
Dividing into two lines is also simple, with men in one line, women and children in another, and there are more than 300 people in one wave. When the women and children have passed, let in another wave of men, and so on.
This is also easy to understand. It is to prevent crowding and stampeding caused by too many people. Even if a family is separated because of this, can't they get together after crossing the bridge?
Crossing the bridge at this speed is enough to ensure that all the thousands of refugees are allowed to cross the bridge before it becomes completely dark.
Seeing that the defenders had given in like this, the refugees would certainly not make any more noise. After all, the black hole muzzles protruding from the checkpoint and the bridgehead fortifications a hundred meters ahead were no joke. They might have angered the soldiers. When did the bullet come?
Since ancient times, the idea that people should not fight against officials has been deeply rooted in the consciousness of the Chinese people.
Xikawa Changlong frowned as he slipped into the refugee queue.
The inspection conditions set up by the Chinese always made him feel a little strange, but as for what was weird, he couldn't tell.
After all, what difference could Bigfoot make?
Are you looking to see whose feet are whiter and tenderer?
It must be like this. Chinese people wear cloth shoes, while imperial people wear leather shoes.
All the members of the Japanese task force who sneaked into the queue took off their shoes and socks on their own initiative under the instructions of their superiors. They had the attitude of being a good boy and a good citizen, and quietly rubbed their feet in the dust.
Those feet have become the feet of the Chinese working people, and they are extremely dirty.
I don't know if this was a pastoral area and there was no dust to rub against. Would these guys stick their feet in cow shit?
Probably so!
After all, these guys are elites. In order to fulfill military orders, not to mention stepping on **** on their feet, even if they are allowed to eat, they may be able to swallow a few big mouthfuls as soon as they close their eyes.
What Nishikawa Changlong didn't know was that in the distance, a pair of eyes were paying close attention to the refugee group through telescopes.
That's Lei Xiong.
Contrary to what Li Jijin thought, Deputy Battalion Commander Lei, who had scolded him angrily at that time, was not furious. Instead, he was smiling broadly on the other end of the phone.
Because, the fish he had been waiting for finally came.
Before leaving, Tang Dao told him that the Japanese would definitely come and attack the bridge by sneaking into the ranks of refugees. Lei Xiong didn't know why Tang Dao was so sure, because he was not a little butterfly from the future. Historical records recorded the tragedy that had happened at Baihe Port Bridge.
At that time, a Japanese task force of more than 200 people was mixed in with the refugee group and suddenly attacked the bridge defenders. An infantry company that was caught off guard killed more than half of the troops and eventually lost control of the bridge.
The tragedy that ultimately resulted was that when more than 10,000 troops of the 67th Army, who had been defending Songjiang for three days and nights and were ordered to retreat, swarmed in, they found that the bridge had changed owners. The 67th Army, which was blocked in front and pursued by soldiers, could only abandon all its heavy equipment and light its equipment. Cross the river.
At this time, a small Japanese army hiding on the river bank launched an attack on the Chinese soldiers in the center of the river. As a result, several generals of the 67th Army were shot and sacrificed. Without a leader, the 67th Army, which originally retained its intact organization, collapsed.
The 67th Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties in the three-day and night battle with the Japanese in Songjiang City. However, on this Suzhou River, which is not too wide, the losses were close to 10,000. Even the lieutenant general, major general, chief of staff and other leaders were killed in the battle. , there were only six thousand officers and soldiers who could cross the river.
The river was strewn with floating corpses of Chinese soldiers and civilians.
In the end, the big boss who had a grudge against the 67th Army directly canceled the establishment of the 67th Army and only retained the designation of the 108th Division. Under multiple blows, the 108th Division with less than 10,000 people remained inactive in the subsequent war.
A strong army that could have played a major role in the Great Patriotic War disappeared like this.
And the epic achievements they once created in Songjiang have also been lost in the long river of history. The great struggle of more than 20,000 lives has been no longer remembered.
Tang Dao will never let history repeat itself.
As for when this group of Japanese troops came and how many there were, there is no record in the history books, so Lei Xiong needs to judge.
However, it was enough for Lei Xiong to have the Japanese attack reminded by Tang Dao and the way to identify them.
From the moment he entered the bridge, Lei Xiong carried out strict inspections on the refugees who were rushing to cross the river. The inspections were meticulous and rigorous.
His action was naturally not to prevent the Japanese from coming in disguise.
Only if you have been a thief for a thousand days, then there is a principle of guarding against a thief for a thousand days. If you cannot guard against a thief, bring them in and kill them.
Whenever the refugees start to riot, it means that the Japanese have arrived.
So, he asked Erya to tell Li Jiujin that the refugees could be speeded up without too much detailed inspection. If not, the Japanese were not fools. Why would they hide their weapons and still hit the muzzle of their guns?
He must create an opportunity for them to attack.
Nishikawa Changtaka was anxious and waiting for the time when he entered the checkpoint.
The previous wave was Chinese women and children, and now it was the turn of the men. In front of him, there were more than 40 special forces members with big bare feet who had successfully passed the inspection and were standing more than ten meters away, waiting.
Nishikawa Changtaka, who originally thought this matter was a bit strange, had not thought of attacking the checkpoint first, and then launching an attack on the bridgehead fortifications a hundred meters away. After all, that was also within the range of the shell gun.
But despite the fact that there was only an infantry squad of a dozen Chinese at the checkpoint, they were very careful. Two light machine guns were set up on the checkpoint's fortifications, one on the left and one on the right. There were also at least four submachine guns pointed at the simple passageway and the fortifications. There is also a barbed wire fence erected in front. Anyone who attempts to attack them will probably have to pay a sufficient price. This is why thousands of refugees still dare not attack the fortifications despite the strong public sentiment.
Two soldiers with guns stood in the sandbag fortification. They glanced at the dusty feet of Nishikawa Changlong, raised their guns, and shouted angrily with impatience: "Hurry up, what are you looking at?"
Men are naturally disgusted with men, especially their stinky feet.
"Yes, yes, sir!" Nishikawa Changlong nodded in response, stopped observing quietly, and quickly joined his subordinates.
More team members were released one after another, and the number increased, but from time to time some men among them were singled out by the soldiers and ordered to stand aside and wait for inspection.
There were Chinese civilians who were crying with sad faces, and there were also members of the task force whose hearts almost jumped out of their chests, but the number was not large, only a dozen or so.
Although I don't know if the Chinese have noticed any abnormalities, maybe it's because the feet are still too white and tender? But it doesn't matter. In less than five minutes, they will launch an attack on the bridgehead fortifications where more troops are stationed. The dozen or so people who are still at the checkpoint can use Chinese civilians as cover to attack the checkpoint, which is actually a good thing.
Perhaps it was because there were so many people singled out, as many as dozens, and less than 200 people were allowed to pass the checkpoint to cross the bridge. The Chinese defenders yelled at them to cross the bridge.
Outside the checkpoint, more Chinese people were ordered to move back.
It was a bit strange, but Nishikawa Shimelong was filled with doubts. Even if he wanted to regret it, it was too late.
What is the old Chinese saying? The arrow is on the string and has to be fired, or is it too late to catch a duck?
Anyhow, Nishikawa Changlong, who led most of his task force to the bridge quickly, felt his scalp was very hard at that time.
It wasn't until he reached an area about 50 meters away from the bridgehead fortifications that he relaxed a little bit about his nervousness.
As long as they move forward 10 meters, their grenades can be thrown into the fortifications. Even if the Chinese are prepared and have a conspiracy, it will be useless unless they deploy heavy troops here.
But obviously, that is impossible. The Chinese have deployed their main forces on the periphery for air defense.
Victory is close at hand!
“Puff, puff, puff!” The terrifying sound of tearing cloth suddenly sounded.
Without warning, a gun hidden inside the bridgehead flashed with flames and spewed out a deadly stream of metal bullets.
In just two seconds, more than ten people fell down like ears of wheat.
idiot! be cheated!
The Chinese have long known they were coming.
But how did they discover themselves? Is it just looking at the feet? Also, what kind of machine gun is this and why does it fire so fast?
The moment Captain Nishikawa Shitaka fell to the ground with his heart broken, all he could think about was the black question mark face!
Every Japanese who is killed by an MG34 will basically think about what kind of gun this Baga is! This is basically a common question.
As for how the Chinese discovered them, I'm afraid Lei Xiong and Li Jijin were not interested in explaining to Nishikawa Changlong.
