Chapter 14 Unlock Mortars
As for the Japs squad leader who was preparing to outflank Fang Shengli, after seeing that his captain was wiped out, he no longer had any intention of attacking and decisively chose to retreat.
When Fang Shengli came to Zhou Weiguo's side, looking at the Japanese corpses on the ground, his honest face smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth.
"Team leader, we've done well this time. There must be at least hundreds of Japs here, almost half of the squadron. Looking at the entire army, this record is unique." Fang Shengli looked at the Japs on the ground.
Said with a smile.
"There is also a captain, who looks like a Japanese squadron leader. No wonder there are so many people."
Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said to Fang Shengli: "Okay, isn't it just a captain? Whenever I kill a general, no matter how complacent I am, I don't know how many lieutenants have died in my hands. I just want to kill them all."
general."
Hearing this, Fang Shengli rolled his eyes: "Where are the generals? If you killed a general, the people in the general department would have promoted you to major general."
"Okay, hurry up and clean the battlefield and pick up the useful ones." Zhou Weiguo said angrily.
"yes!"
Fang Shengli didn't waste any time and immediately ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield. The scattered guns and ammunition, grenade launchers and the Japs' belongings were all picked up and put away, especially the rice balls and cans, which they needed most.
.
After all, many people have been hungry for a long time. Looking at the rice balls and cans, they can't help but eat.
On the other side, the escaped captain of Taro Aso's squadron returned to the headquarters of his captain, Major Kazuo Nozawa.
"Baga, why are you alone? Where is Aso-kun?" Nozawa Kazuo looked at the embarrassed team leader in front of him and asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, Captain Aso has died for his country." The returning captain couldn't help but said in horror.
"Nani, Aso-kun died in the battle?" Nozawa Kazuo was shocked, his eyes widened, he grabbed Odagiri Asuka with a quick step and asked firmly.
Taro Aso's squadron, which was the most powerful squadron under his command, died in battle, which was indeed beyond his expectation.
"Baga, what happened? Why did Aso-kun die in battle? Did he encounter the main force of the Chinese people?"
After all, Taro Aso has nearly 200 men in his hands. Generally, he can easily defeat a battalion of Chinese people. Even if he encounters a regiment, he can still hold on until reinforcements arrive. Such a loss of more than half is simply unbelievable.
Under Kazuo Nozawa's questioning, Asuka Odagiri quickly and briefly explained the battle that had just occurred.
"Snapped……"
A crisp round of applause sounded, followed by another slap in the face, and then there was another round of applause...
After a dozen slaps in a row, Odagiri Asuka's face turned into a pig's head, Nozawa Kazuo stopped, stared with red eyes and shouted: "Bagayalu, why don't you fight to death? You idiot..."
"Hai, it's my incompetence that has discredited you..." Asuka Odagiri didn't dare to argue, and at the same time she was helpless, so she could only bow and apologize desperately.
In fact, there is not much problem with Taro Aso's tactics. Frontal attack and flanking are the consistent tactics of the Japanese army. With such tactics, the Chinese army can't stop them all the way.
Who would have known that the Chinese military firepower they encountered was so powerful that nearly half of the squadron was killed in just five minutes, which really stunned them.
"Baga, you actually lost to the China Army, which has completely disgraced the empire. Moreover, you did not return to the aid of Taro Aso immediately, which resulted in the death of so many loyal and brave soldiers. Why didn't you accompany Taro Aso?
Die in battle?" Major Nozawa Kazuo pointed at Odagiri Asuka and said.
"Hai, hai." Asuka Odagiri could only keep lowering her head and admitting her mistake. After being scolded for a long time, Nozawa Kazuo shut up.
"Baga, you go down first. I need to report this news to the captain. If the captain gets angry, just wait for a caesarean section to apologize." The anger on Nozawa Kazuo's face has not disappeared yet.
"Hayi."
In this way, the news soon reached the ears of Lieutenant General Nakajima Imago of the 16th Division.
"Baga, tell the captain of the Ninth Regiment that this Chinese army must be found and eliminated within half a day, otherwise it will be severely punished."
"Let the squad leader who escaped have a caesarean section to apologize, and he is not allowed to leak what happened today."
"Hayi."
………
Here, Fang Shengli finished cleaning the battlefield, came to Zhou Weiguo, looked at the map of Jinling, and frowned.
"Team leader, the main force of the Japanese army is now gathering towards Xuanwu Lake, and we don't have much time left."
The implication is that if they don't deploy a defense line as soon as possible, they may face the main attack of the Japs by then. Even though they have just wiped out more than a hundred Japs, if they really encounter the main force of the Japs, the few people they have are simply not enough.
"I know that we have just wiped out half a Japanese squadron, and the Japanese army will definitely retaliate. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so I decided to go straight to Jiming Temple."
"Jiming Temple?" Fang Shengli looked at the map and was stunned for a while. He was also very familiar with Jinling, so he naturally knew about Jiming Temple.
"Yes, it is Jiming Temple. Jiming Temple is adjacent to Xuanwu Lake to the north. As long as we control this place, once the Japanese attack is thwarted, it will be impossible to reach Xiaguan Pier in a short time unless they bypass a few streets." Zhou Weiguo looked at the map.
, said confidently.
"But Jiming Temple is an ancient temple. Will the monks agree to our building a defense line?" Fang Shengli thought for a while and expressed his concerns.
"At this time when the country is ruined and the family is in ruins, you have to agree even if you don't agree. I don't have time to talk nonsense with them. Without soldiers like us who have fought bloody battles, how can they enjoy peace?" Zhou Weiguo said with a sneer.
"But..." Fang Shengli wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Zhou Weiguo: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, organize the team and prepare to set off. Also notify Lin Feng and let him lead his troops to garrison west of Jiming Temple."
"yes!"
When passing by Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Weiguo looked at this ancient and majestic city wall and couldn't help but sigh.
"Pity……"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for surviving 24 hours. Sign in once and unlock the German 80mm mortar."
Hearing this mechanical sound, Zhou Weiguo showed an expression of ecstasy on his face. This was a timely rain. He had been having a headache for the artillery all the way, but he didn't expect it to come to his door.
With this 80mm mortar, he is confident that he can annihilate more Japanese soldiers.
Holding back his inner excitement, Zhou Weiguo said to Fang Shengli: "Old Fang, is there anyone in our army who knows artillery?"
"There should be." Fang Shengli thought for a while and said uncertainly: "What? Do we have a cannon?"
