Hundreds of meters away, the Japanese frontline headquarters.
The Japanese colonel's hand holding the telescope had veins popping out after Tang Dao fired the first round of fire.
I almost crushed the valuable telescope to pieces.
Although the thick smoke prevented him from seeing the firepower in the building from a few hundred meters away, he could clearly see that the soldiers he had started charging were falling.
If the rate of casualties is maintained at this rate, even if the three infantry squads at the forefront can rush to the scheduled blasting position under the building, there may not be many people left.
But unfortunately, the Japanese commander still overestimated his subordinates.
How many of them are there left?
In just two minutes, all the soldiers who rushed forward were cut with leeks, and the bloody leeks were even more ruthless than the A-crowns that liked to dig up their roots in the future.
His Excellency Colonel's expression at that moment! It was as ugly as seeing hundreds of big white buttocks on our own position the day before, with their heads raised and having diarrhea.
Toshi Makino didn't squint his eyes and remained silent, but the Major Captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion had his lips trembling, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The infantry squadron leader at the front was ordered to launch a 'Long Live Charge'. From this point of view, it was definitely a stupid idea. Before he could see it, most of the infantry squadron was casualties? This didn't even include the battle damage on both wings.
If the losses continue at this rate, the regiment that has just received heavy supplies and replenished some health may be able to enter the ranks of the infantry brigade after this battle is over.
Is it an honor to become a colonel-level infantry captain?
It can only be said that this Japanese army major's wish is quite good.
An infantry brigade has a full strength of 1,100 people!
The boss in front of him, with a foul-looking face, was already a madman.
In other words, I have already assumed the role of the old madman Nogi Nogi Nogi, and I just have to carry the coffin and go into battle.
Sihang Warehouse has become a position that is stuck in the throat of the 3rd Division in Zhabei District, Songhu. It fought for several days and suffered heavy casualties, not to mention being taken. It was also laughed at by the Westerners in the concession, which further aroused the resistance of the Chinese.
determination.
Wakitajiro had already issued a military order to the division's headquarters in the early morning, stating that the four-line warehouse must be captured no matter what, and if one infantry squadron was dead, then another infantry squadron would be sent.
If the entire 36th Infantry Regiment is killed, the division will send another infantry regiment. Those were the original words of the Japanese Army Lieutenant General.
The infantry artillery was at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire with the Chinese machine guns. One artillery team completely lost its combat effectiveness, and another artillery team was completely wiped out because the artillery shell was hit and caused an explosion.
That doesn't matter, the 120 field artillery will come to help.
Anyway, the frightened Westerners did not offer any substantial resistance.
The 40 Japanese soldiers who were repulsed by Tang Dao and Lei Xionghan's crazy output of firepower without fear of death did not run far. They repaired slightly in a temporary bunker more than 200 meters away and then returned to the battlefield.
Regardless of whether they have the intention to fight or not, the supervising team in the rear is real.
According to the order of Colonel Wakiitajiro, the second lieutenant-level team leader took the lead in the charge, and the lieutenant and captain held the line in the rear. If they were all dead, then the major and captain would personally lead the charge. If they were still all dead, then he and Lieutenant Colonel Makino Toshi
The two led the team separately.
Under the completely crazy order of Colonel Jiro Wakiita, the Japanese army fired all the guns, whether it was the 70-meter infantry cannon or the two 120-meter field guns, except for the 75-meter mountain gun, which had a slightly larger error.
At the moment when we have reached the front line about 100 meters away.
That has far exceeded the Japanese army's army manual, which stipulates that the coordination of infantry and artillery should not be less than 200 meters. It is definitely a hell-level battlefield.
It was not the Sihang Warehouse that was trembling under the crazy Japanese artillery fire.
Instead, the Japanese infantry would be blasted into the sky from time to time by their own artillery that had their muzzles slightly lowered.
Watching the Japanese soldiers become dead souls under their own artillery fire, if it had been in the past, there would have been another mountain roar and tsunami on the south bank of the Suzhou River.
But this time, everyone pursed their lips and clenched their fists in silence.
They could feel the determination of the Japanese attack this time, which was even stronger than the previous one.
The infantrymen continued to crawl forward, even though corpses had covered fifty meters in front of the warehouse.
And for the first time, the heart-stopping large-caliber artillery was synchronized with the Japanese infantry attack.
From time to time, window fortifications were smashed, and large pieces of reinforced concrete were blown away. Visible to the naked eye, the warehouse walls were severely damaged for the first time.
Can the Chinese defenders in Sihang Warehouse still be able to hold on?
No one could answer their question, including the defenders in the warehouse and even Tang Dao.
The first floor, which originally had the best shooting scene, can no longer stay there.
The Japanese army's 120 field guns and nearly 10 infantry guns lowered their muzzles to a terrifying level, and they even did not hesitate to blast their own infantry into the sky.
Almost all the window fortifications on the first floor were blown to pieces, and many shells even hit the lobby on the first floor before exploding, blowing the inverted triangle ambush formation inside the first floor into debris all over the sky.
If Tang Dao hadn't sensed something was wrong due to the sudden increase in Japanese artillery fire and ordered all personnel on the first floor to evacuate to the second and third floors, the casualties on the first floor would have been unbearable.
It doesn’t mean that the 2nd and 3rd floors are safe.
For the first time, the thick wall suffered extensive damage. Three consecutive heavy artillery bombardments hit the corner of the window with violent explosions, which even enveloped a heavy machine gun group more than five meters away.
The air wave was still blocked by the wall, but the gravel flying everywhere was more terrifying than the bullets.
The three-person heavy machine gun team originally crawled behind the shooting hole and fired desperately, and was able to avoid most of the rubble, but a lot of rubble still hit them.
The heavy machine gun transferred from the two wings was deformed by the crazy rocks, and together with the three heavy machine gun shooters, they were beaten into three bloody gourds.
Soldiers not far from them rushed over and carried the three of them into the room. Almost each of them used more than 6 first-aid kits to stop Kuangbiao's blood.
But Tang Dao knew that it was just a form of comfort. Not only would the massive blood loss soon kill them, but the bacteria carried by the large amount of gravel in their bodies would have no chance of causing the wound to become infected.
And this time, no one can accompany them, even when they leave.
The battle has become intense. There are only about a hundred people in the warehouse, and they are responsible for the defense on three sides. Even the medical soldiers and communication soldiers have entered the fighting position with shell guns.
There were not enough shooting holes. Just after the sandbag fortifications, even if I knew very well that the Japanese artillery would blast myself and the sandbag fortifications to pieces at some point, I still had to shoot the bullets from the empty guns not far away.
Only when changing magazines and clips can you hide behind the wall again.
Tang Dao lost control of the battlefield for the first time.
He had completely given up on rifles, and no matter how accurate his shooting skills were, they were ineffective in front of the crazy Japanese army.
The Japanese army seemed to be completely numb robots, killing one of them. The infantry behind them, covered in the blood of their colleagues, climbed over the corpses of their colleagues and continued to crawl forward.
This was an extremely small battle in a major battle involving millions of troops from China and Japan, but it was undoubtedly a battle destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
Even the military history of the Japanese army made extremely detailed records of the battle on the morning of October 31 after the war.
Because of this battle, while the Chinese defenders were brave and tenacious without fear of life and death, the Japanese army in a critical situation also showed the same will and quality.
The two sides are like gladiators fighting bloody battles in the arena. The needle is pointed at the awning. If you stab me, I will take a step forward and spit blood on your face.
Chinese people are born to die.
But the Japanese want to die.
The fighting was so brutal that reporters from both China and Japan could not hold their pens tightly.
Tantai Mingyue leaned against the corner of the high-rise window with a pale face.
If not, she was afraid that she would collapse due to the severe pain in her heart.
In the morning she learned that her hero was still in the warehouse, refusing to leave for the sake of his brothers.
Can that not-so-handsome face appear again?
Even if he refuses her interview!
