The Japanese army was responsible for the main attack on the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 8th Division.
The 5th Infantry Regiment is organized in Aomori Prefecture, so it is also called Aomori Regiment.
From the designation of the 5th Regiment, we can know that this is an old regiment, one of the earliest modern army regiments formed in Japan, with profound foundation and extremely powerful combat effectiveness.
This principle is similar to the People's Liberation Army's companies such as the 7th Steel Company and the 3rd Red Company.
The glorious achievements of the army are there, and the glorious tradition is passed down from generation to generation. The soldiers who join the army will naturally inherit the psychological advantages and pride inherited from their predecessors.
Usually, such psychological advantage or pride is not very obvious.
But once a war breaks out, this kind of psychological advantage or pride will immediately show its power, giving the officers and soldiers of this unit unimaginable spiritual strength.
The 5th Regiment is such an infantry regiment with an "excellent" tradition.
Since its establishment, the 5th Regiment has participated in the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Siberian War and later the Manchurian Incident, and has made countless military exploits!
This time being incorporated into the 25th Army is the first real expedition of the 5th Regiment since the Sino-Japanese War broke out. This is relatively rare among the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army.
Because they have never fought against the Chinese army other than the Northeastern Army, especially against Zhong Yi¡¯s troops, the 5th Division actually lacks a basic understanding of the opponent¡¯s combat effectiveness.
Because of the lack of the most basic understanding, the 5th Regiment, from the commander of the 5th Regiment, Setoguchi Iwajiro, down to every private, their impression of the Chinese army still remains on the "vulnerability" of the Northeast Army.
Although the Northeastern Army is tall and powerful, it seems that one of them can withstand several Japanese soldiers, but this is not the case at all in a fight. In fact, in hand-to-hand combat, one Japanese soldier can easily kill three Northeastern soldiers.
"The group of Chinese soldiers opposite looked short and thin, and their physique was far worse than that of the Northeast Army.
So although they were at a numerical disadvantage, the officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment didn't take it to heart.
Setoguchi Iwajiro didn't care even more. In his opinion, a squadron of Japanese infantry could easily kill more than five times the number of Chinese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, the more than 500 Chinese soldiers on the opposite side would undoubtedly be defeated.
When hand-to-hand combat broke out ahead, Setoguchi Iwajiro even breathed a sigh of relief.
"Matsumoto-kun, the battle is over." Setoguchi Iwajiro said confidently to his adjutant, "The Chinese army's outer defense line has been declared fallen."
"So Dega." Adjutant Matsumoto also agreed.
Setoguchi Iwajiro smiled slightly, and when he was about to say a few more words, the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
Seeing the expression on Setoguchi Iwajiro's face suddenly sinking, my heart skipped a beat. Then I turned my head to look at the battlefield ahead. I couldn't help but take a breath.
How can it be? How could this happen?
Adjutant Matsumoto and Setoguchi Iwajiro were immediately confused.
Because, they clearly saw that the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had clearly broken into the national army's positions actually receded back like an ebbing tide.
¡°Moreover, there are only about twenty Japanese soldiers left.
Behind these twenty or so Japanese soldiers were Chinese soldiers who were chasing them like tigers and wolves.
Although these Chinese soldiers are not tall and not very strong, they are full of vigor and fierceness when running. They really look like tigers descending from the mountain, howling incessantly.
Setoguchi Iwajiro simply couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.
In just a moment, the Ushijima Squadron, which broke into the national army's position, and nearly 200 imperial soldiers, were actually killed by the Chinese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, with only about 20 remaining?
It¡¯s okay to lose a hand-to-hand battle, and that¡¯s actually acceptable.
¡°But what Setoguchi Iwajiro couldn¡¯t accept was that the twenty or so remaining imperial soldiers of the Ushijima Squadron actually lost their fighting spirit and fled towards their own positions like sheep.
In other words, the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side not only defeated the Ushijima Squadron in the hand-to-hand combat just now, but even destroyed the fighting spirit of the Ushijima Squadron. What exactly happened just now?
In the field of view of the telescope, the Chinese soldiers have caught up with the remaining soldiers of Ushijima Squadron.
"Kill!" A Chinese soldier stabbed a Japanese soldier in the vest.
The Japanese soldier immediately screamed, ran a few steps under the influence of inertia, and fell to the ground.
From beginning to end, that??My soldiers had no intention of turning back and kept turning their backs to the Chinese soldiers!
"HagaGaru!" The corners of Setoguchi Iwajiro's mouth twitched violently.
"Order!" Setoguchi Iwajiro said coldly from his teeth, "Shoot!"
"Shoot!" The adjutant immediately pulled out his saber and gave the order to fire to the forward fire support team.
The two heavy machine gun teams originally tasked with covering the enemy immediately opened fire, and a dense rain of bullets violently hit the retreating Japanese soldiers and the Chinese soldiers behind them.
In the blink of an eye, the last dozen or so Japanese soldiers fell to their own guns.
The Chinese soldiers who were chasing after them were also knocked down by the Japanese heavy machine guns. The rest quickly retreated and hid back in the trenches.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army began preparations for the third artillery fire.
Artillery shells of different calibers and types fell in rows on the national army¡¯s defensive positions.
Amidst the continuous explosions, clouds of smoke and dust billowed from the national army positions.
¡¡
Amidst the explosion, Luo Yuan hid back in the underground bunker.
A moment later, the chief of staff of the 134th Division hurried back to the underground bunker despite artillery fire.
Luo Yuan immediately asked the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, what are the casualties of the 1st Battalion?"
The chief of staff said sadly: "More than a hundred people were killed and more than fifty others were seriously injured."
"More than a hundred people were killed in battle?" Luo Yuan lost his voice, "How could so many people be killed in battle?"
The chief of staff replied sadly: "Basically, they all died in the hand-to-hand combat just now. The group of Japs on the opposite side is much more fierce than the Japs of the 5th Division."
Luo Yuan cursed bitterly: "What a stupid little Japan!"
"However, the little devil is not asking for any advantages." The chief of staff said solemnly.
"Master, the key is that we are not equipped with rocket launchers." The chief of staff said angrily. "If we were equipped with rocket launchers like the 10th and 41st Group Armies, the Japs' tanks would not pose a threat at all, and they would not have any If the opportunity is approaching our position, there will be no hand-to-hand combat, and our casualties will not be so heavy."
Luo Yuandao: "I have reported this to the war zone commander. Chief Zhong said that he will find a way to transfer a batch of rocket launchers from China to Myanmar as soon as possible. If nothing happens, we should be able to catch up with the Battle of Xidang!" (Remember this site! Website: www.hlnovel.com
