Chapter 52: Noda¡¯s speculation (new book please watch)
The battle at the front line position along the mountain was still going on. Seeing that his artillery was killed by the artillery of the Chinese army just after it started to show off its power, Major Shingo Noda, the captain of the third battalion of the Japanese army, was furious.
Extremely angry, Major Noda immediately yelled at Captain Okamoto, the leader of the 2nd Squadron: "Okamoto, let the 2nd Squadron attack. You will lead the team yourself. If you can't defeat it, don't come back."
"Hai!"
Hearing the captain¡¯s cold order, Captain Okamoto trembled in his heart. He had worked under the captain for more than half a year and knew his character very well. Even the captain would dare to contradict him once he got angry. The only thing he can do now is to lead the charge and defeat the Chinese on the opposite side in one fell swoop!
As soon as Okamoto left, the deputy captain of the third battalion, Captain Aoki, said: "Captain, the Chinese army on the other side is very powerful. Okamoto's squadron may not be able to attack it. Besides, we have lost the artillery support!"
"Are you questioning my order?" Major Noda said coldly.
"No, I just feel that it is difficult for the Okamoto Squadron to directly defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side!"
"Baga, if you can't defeat the enemy in front of you, then there is no need for them to exist. The Empire of Japan does not need cowards."
"Hai!"
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The grenades ejected from the grenades continued to fall on the position. Although the artillery of the Noda Brigade was eliminated, the grenade equipped to the squad-level combat unit can still provide the infantry with the simplest artillery support.
After half an hour of fighting, a lot of the fortifications built by the first squadron had collapsed, and the dilapidated fortifications looked shaky under the attack of the Japanese grenades.
"Beep"
With the Japs' attack, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded from the defender's position.
"Captain, it's a whistle, the little Japs are coming up," a young soldier in the artillery cave said loudly.
"Brothers, the little devil is here again, get into your respective positions immediately." Zhang Tengjiao ordered loudly.
"Yes" everyone replied loudly.
"Captain, the Japs are coming up, they are still 400 meters away from the forward position"
"Captain, three hundred meters"
"Captain, two hundred meters"
"Open fire and beat me hard"
When the Japanese army entered the third battalion¡¯s position two hundred meters away, Zhang Tengjiao gave the order to fire, and at the same time he picked up a machine gun and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da"
Following Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s order, three positions on the front-line battlefield opened fire at the same time, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns sprayed hateful bullets at the Japanese army.
In order to severely injure the little Japs, Li Guoyao deployed a full machine gun squadron on the front line. In addition, he also strengthened the firepower of the first squadron. Now there are more than twenty light and heavy machine guns alone on the positions in three directions. Even with such firepower Even the little devil, who was always awesome and coaxing, was also surprised.
The strong firepower of the defenders instantly tore the charging Japs into pieces. One-third of a complete infantry squadron was wiped out by the fierce firepower before it even got close to the defenders' position, and the remaining two-thirds immediately fell to the ground. Fall to the ground and fight back.
At the same time, the artillery positions arranged behind the front-line positions also began to show their power. Mortar shells continued to fall on the Japs' positions, and the Japanese Japs were blown away one by one.
Ten minutes later, the little Japanese infantry squadron suffered heavy casualties. Even the squadron leader, Captain Okamoto, died at the front of the position and was forced to withdraw.
The Japanese army then launched three more attacks, but they were quickly repelled by Li Guoyao and others. The front lines of the position were littered with corpses left behind by the Japanese army, layer by layer, densely packed, at least three to four hundred.
The huge casualties made the always proud and arrogant Major Noda a little unable to bear it. How long has it been? It has only been less than an hour since the war started, and more than half of his troops have been killed or injured. Such huge losses have never happened to them. None have ever been encountered.
Mainly because the opponent's firepower is too strong, not only light and heavy machine guns, but also mortars. This kind of weapon configuration is far inferior to even the Japanese army.
Facing such a powerful opponent, even a diehard like Major Noda had no choice but to ask for help from the coalition headquarters outside Wuxing City!
Outside Wuxing City. The temporary headquarters of the Japanese 55th Regiment!
After receiving the news from the Third Brigade asking for help, Deputy Colonel Ye first?I was stunned for a moment, and when I asked about the situation, I suddenly felt doubtful. A small Chinese army was equipped with a large number of imperial standard weapons, including not only Type 38 rifles, but also Taisho 11 type light machine guns and There are Type 92 heavy machine guns and even Type 97 90mm cannons, and the number is unbelievable.
Where did this army get so many weapons and equipment, and where did they come from!
More importantly, as captain of the Colonel Alliance, Deputy Colonel Ye is already qualified to have access to some real secrets. According to his fellow countryman and friend Colonel Koto Megumi, he had told him before that something seemed to have happened in Jiaxing City. They had already Lost contact with the troops staying in Jiaxing.
At this time, Deputy Colonel Ye suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the troops appearing behind them were from Jiaxing, and the weapons and equipment in their hands were also brought from Jiaxing City.
Thinking of this possibility, Deputy Colonel Ye¡¯s heart suddenly jumped!
¡°He knows that the life or death of the Chief of Staff is uncertain, and now even the Army Commander Yanagawa is looking for the whereabouts of the Chief of Staff. If the Chinese army fighting the Third Brigade really came out of Jiaxing City, your Chief of Staff would probably be in their hands.
"If I can defeat this enemy army and rescue the Chief of Staff, even bringing back a corpse, that will be a great achievement." Not only can it offset the blame for the sneak attack on the artillery brigade, but it can even make further progress.
In view of this, the wild deputy commander thought again and again, and immediately ordered the third brigade to hold back the Chinese army in front of them at all costs, and he once again led a brigade south for reinforcements.
In order to defeat the Chinese army in front of him in one fell swoop, Deputy Colonel Ye even brought all 12 tanks from the regiment headquarters over this time!
It is said that the actions of the Japs outside the city were not a secret at all. Soon Tao Liu and others in Wuxing City received reports from the front. When they learned that the Japs outside the city had been transferred to an infantry brigade. Afterwards, everyone was stunned!
Since the Yiyanshan battlefield is only more than ten kilometers away from Wuxing City, although Tao Liu and others could not see the fighting between the two sides, they could hear the gunfire and knew that someone was helping them outside the city.
The other side not only withstood the attack of an infantry brigade of the little Japanese, but even forced the old Japanese deputy Yide to dispatch troops to reinforce the southern battlefield. Obviously, the reinforcements on the southern front were quite large and their combat effectiveness was not weak. I really don¡¯t know what the army was doing. Where did you get such a powerful reinforcement?
62nd Division Headquarters!
After listening to the situation reported by the frontline troops, Tao Liu pondered for a while and then asked: "Do you know where the battlefield between the reinforcements and the Japs is?"
"The division's seat should be on the line of Yiyan Mountain. The terrain there is steep and is a good place to block the attack. In addition, we can hear the sounds of their fighting in the city. Obviously the battlefield is not far from Wuxing City, so it must be on Yiyan There is no doubt about the mountain!" Wang Dingguo said.
"Can you send someone out of the city to contact reinforcements and see the actual situation? If possible, can the two of us attack the 55th Regiment of the Japs from the front and back?" Tao Liu said in a deep voice.
"Master, there are only more than 3,000 people we can fight now, and we can barely defend the city. Isn't it too risky to go out of the city to fight with the Japs in the wild?" Wang Dingguo asked in a deep voice.
"Risk is certain, but if the reinforcements are strong enough, we may not have a chance! You must know that the Japs have suffered a lot in recent days. According to my estimate, they have an infantry regiment plus an artillery brigade, with a total strength of four thousand After these few days of bloody battles and the fact that an artillery brigade was knocked out today, its total strength has probably dropped to more than 2,000 people."
Then Tao Liu continued: "And our reinforcements can compete with an infantry brigade of the opponent without a win or loss, and can also force the little devils to send reinforcements again. This shows that the scale of the reinforcements is not small, at least it should be an infantry brigade. If it is In this case, if our two troops attack from the front and back, it is very likely that the little Japs outside the city will be defeated!"
"Then I will immediately send someone to investigate outside the city to see if we can contact the other party!" Wang Dingguo said.
