Chapter 644 This is in line with your temperament
There are too many Chinese people!
This was almost the same thought shared by Yanagawa Kazuo and the captain's deputy who temporarily took over the command of the 3rd Infantry Battalion after half an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides.
From 10 minutes ago, Yanagawa Kazuo sent all his subordinates with guns to the battlefield.
But unexpectedly, the "Chinese" were surrounding us from all directions, and they even had a large number of grenade launchers.
That was perhaps the first time that the Japanese artillery lieutenant-commander hated the excellent small firearms equipped by his own army.
In the absence of a cannon, this type of individual grenade can cause too much damage to infantry. At least dozens of people were killed or injured by this type of firearm that can throw grenades two to three hundred meters away. Down.
The only thing that makes Yanagawa Kazuo gratified is that he has enough men. With one person dead, the guns are freed up, and the firepower can continue to be maintained so that the Chinese will not break through the defense line.
The Chinese have too many troops. How do they manage to maintain a steady stream of firepower under continuous strikes?
In fact, the Japanese captain opposite also had similar doubts.
Until the Japanese army, who was about to launch a strong attack, fired more than a dozen illumination bombs.
Under the light of the flares, the 'shit yellow' military uniforms of both warring parties were completely exposed to the sight of both sides.
Yanagawa Kazuo cried at that time.
He was attacked not by the Chinese, but by Imperial infantry.
No wonder the opponent is equipped with so many grenade launchers! All doubts are cleared away.
"Cease fire. Tell them that we are the artillery brigade of the detachment and stop attacking immediately." Yanagawa Kazuo immediately ordered the front to cease fire. .
But the Japanese artillery ceased fire, but the Japanese infantry did not.
The reason is very simple. As sneak attackers, it is normal for the Chinese to wear the uniforms of the imperial infantry. This also explains why the artillery position was breached in such a short period of time. It must be this group of cunning Chinese who used disguises. breached.
"Baga! Beat me, hit me hard, I will hang all these shameless Chinese people on the tree." The Japanese captain was obviously more enthusiastic when he saw the same military uniform.
The mentality of Yanagawa Kazuo and the artillerymen really exploded.
For a moment, they even doubted whether His Excellency Kunizaki was just trying to kill them, the defeated generals who had lost their positions.
Fortunately, the pursuit of survival is much higher than the so-called face.
“I am Private Moriki from Hiroshima Bay!”
“I am Sergeant Inoue from Etajima!”
At the request of their officers, the artillerymen shouted their positions in their native dialect amidst the flying bullets.
Eighty percent of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division are from the Hiroshima area of Japan. I am afraid that no one except themselves knows the division of Hiroshima's subordinate areas so clearly, and the authentic Hiroshima accent is so clearly identifiable.
The Japanese infantrymen were also stunned.
Could it be that they really beat their own people for dozens of minutes?
If it is true, then they can be said to have accomplished a feat that would shame the Imperial Army!
But it's true.
The moment Lieutenant Colonel Yanagawa Kazuo walked out of the dense forest with a command knife in his hand, the Japanese infantrymen knew that the serial number of their infantry brigade could be written down in the history of the Japanese Army for eternity.
This group of Japanese artillerymen who abandoned their artillery and quickly fled were not killed by the Chinese, but they killed nearly a hundred people.
More importantly, they wasted precious time. The instigator of all this escaped while the two sides were fighting to the death.
Lieutenant Colonel Yanagawa Kazuo and the Japanese captain looked at each other in despair, thinking about how to extricate themselves from the quagmire of having to go to a military court.
The pursuit of Tang Dao and the death squads was delayed again.
The two finally reached a tacit understanding and reported to Kunizaki in their own names: They met up with the artillery (infantry) during the pursuit. Due to the darkness, the troops on both sides did not investigate and a brief exchange of fire broke out. Now they joined forces and continued to pursue the Chinese.
At this time, it was already more than half an hour later.
Hearing that the gunshots became sparse, the death squads, knowing that the Japanese had finally stopped being stupid, had already strode to the other side of the mountain, which was at least 1,000 meters away in a straight line.
Chasing again, who is not necessarily hit! Although the number of casualties was not reported, in fact, they could not catch up with the Chinese, and it was the extremely stupid reason for the 'brief' exchange of fire between the two sides without checking. Kunizaki at the headquarters received this in a daze. Is it possible to say "understatement" without spewing blood?
The loss of more than a dozen artillery pieces was a huge blow to Kunizaki, but what was really fatal was the lack of food.
The most deadly thing was that all the baggage in the east of Guangde City was burned.
Kunisaki was very rational and knew that if he fought hard at this time, based on the combat effectiveness shown by the Chinese yesterday, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. If he didn't handle it well, he would vomit blood and die.
Temporarily withdrawing troops is the only option.
It should be said that Kunizaki was really a smart man, flexible and flexible. Before receiving the report from the pursuers, he had already ordered the entire army to pack up.
Before the light of dawn came over, the Japanese troops on the front line began to carry out equipment and wounded people to evacuate in an orderly manner.
The commanders on the high ground watched silently, but did not order to shoot the drowned dogs. It was not because they did not want to, but because precious bullets could not be wasted like this.
The hit rate under this kind of sight is appallingly low.
For Kunizaki, it is of course not that he should stop fighting, but that he must regenerate his strength.
After replenishing the baggage and artillery, fight again!
There are people behind us, and Kunizaki has the confidence to do so.
Kunizaki took the initiative to put down his body and reported to Ushijima Sadao of the 18th Division that the battlefield in the Mouse Mountain Mountainous Area was frustrated and that artillery support was urgently needed.
"There are no flowers in all kinds of red, and the battlefield situation is changeable. Occasionally, small setbacks are inevitable. Kunisaki-kun, don't worry about small losses. You will definitely win a big victory if you fight again in the future!" Ushijima Sada, who suffered consecutive defeats at the Jiashan and Jiaxing defense lines. At this time, Xiong didn't laugh at fifty steps but he gave Kunizaki comfort in a heart-warming way.
In fact, it was not that Ushijima Sadao understood Kunizaki, an unlucky boy, but from another perspective, if the Kunisaki detachment was too aggressive, it would be an outlier among the tens of thousands of troops ordered to outflank Jinling's back road, which was not in line with its temperament.
To put it bluntly, Kunizaki Zhengyue suffered a lot of head injuries, so Ushijima Sadao, the lieutenant general's division who was destined to be abandoned, would not be shown to be so incompetent.
Now, it's pretty good, isn't it?
The 36th Infantry Brigade, which belongs to the 'Strongest Division on the Surface', has long lost its spirit and is just following the main army.
The 18th Division pursued them all the way without catching a single feather, and their morale was low.
Didn't the awesome Kunizaki detachment also receive a blow? Let's not mention the damage and damage for the moment. Even the howitzers, mountain cannons, and field artillery were all blasted into the sky by the Chinese as firecrackers. Even the food was almost gone.
Hold everyone together!
“I will send the 36th Infantry Brigade to reinforce your unit!” Ushijima Sadao, with a frosty look on his face but secretly happy in his heart, turned around and sold the most unlucky child.
It's just that the 36th Infantry Brigade was already broken at this time and did not dare to do such things as disobeying military orders. However, the trick of making the puppet soldiers violate the orders in disguise was already fully practiced.
“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Ushijima. Our brigade will fight bravely to repay the empire!” The reply telegram was heroic, but the army moved as slowly as a snail.
In two days, the infantry did not run 20 miles. Instead, the artillery brigade assigned to them by the Sixth Division first arrived in Guangde County, where the Guoqi detachment was located.
Haven't you run out of cannons? Then I'll give you the cannon! I will never let you be taken advantage of.
The top and bottom members of the 36th Infantry Brigade showed their thoughts with almost unanimous actions.
Nearly several thousand Japanese troops waiting for food supplies fainted from hunger.
The Chinese are very bad. They burned the oil with a fire, but they poured the oil into grain bags and lit it together.
Those who didn't have time to pour in oil would pour in dung.
This is disgusting.
Keren is a man of iron rice and steel. He is very hungry. It seems that he can eat even dung after washing.
But even that is not enough for seven or eight thousand people.
As for Guangde County, which is said to be empty, except for the shabby houses, the Chinese who fled left nothing behind. Some clear water wells are even filled with stench, and it is not known whether there are any Dead cats and dogs were still thrown into the feces. Not to mention food, even water was carried hard by the Japanese soldiers from the river.
If the baggage does not arrive, the packhorses originally used for transport may become the meal for His Excellency Kunizaki Zuo.
For three days, the Guoqi detachment was heavily deployed around Guangde County and did not move even a single step, even after adding 12 more mountain cannons.
