Chapter 191: We must not let go of this beastly army
Fujino Hisumaki's idea was to use the cover of artillery fire to send a squadron of Japanese troops to brave the firepower of the Chinese army to establish a foothold across the river that was enough for half the regiment to deploy, so that he could calmly lead the follow-up
The troops opened the gap and continued to expand their foothold.
In this way, even if we cannot achieve great results, it will still be enough to explain to the division commander.
It's just that today Fujino Kuming made a big mistake. He believed too much in the power of his four Type 92 infantry cannons. He rushed over without knowing who his opponent was. Little did he know that the blind man
The consequences of riding a blind horse are often very serious.
The Japanese troops of that squadron had just crossed the bridge and had been bombarded by the Japanese with Type 92 infantry artillery for more than ten minutes. The seemingly destroyed firepower point had been resurrected. Not only that, the opponent even used more than ten 60-gun mortars.
The artillery launched a blanket bombing attack on the bridgehead. In just over ten minutes, except for one squadron that was able to escape back, the other two squadrons all fell into a pool of blood.
Fujino Hisumi looked pale as he looked at the battlefield that suddenly calmed down. Out of a whole squadron of soldiers, only one squad had escaped. In addition to the squad that had been lost just now, that is to say, in less than forty minutes,
Not even one squadron.
If we add in the First Battalion, which was crippled by the Chinese chariot force today, his 222nd Regiment has lost one-third of its strength, how can we still fight this battle?
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we can't continue the fight." Chief of Staff Sakai grabbed Fujino Kumaki's arm, "Only one day today, we lost a brigade without even seeing the faces of the Chinese people. If we continue the fight,
If so, our alliance can be expelled!"
"I know." Fujino Kuming nodded solemnly: "I will explain it to the division commander. The lives of the imperial warriors cannot be wasted in vain."
across the bridge
Wu Chengfeng put down the telescope and let out a long sigh, and said to Gao Hongming with admiration on his face: "I was puzzled before about why Tuan Zuo didn't blow up the bridge, but now I finally understand that emotional Tuan Zuo is keeping this bridge."
Fishing."
Gao Hongming waved his hand, "Old Wu, please stop flattering me now. If you flatter me again, I won't increase your military pay."
Amidst the burst of laughter from the crowd, Wu Chengfeng scratched his head and did not dare to say a word. Gao Hongming pointed at the Qingyuan River and explained: "Look, the Qingyuan River is wide or narrow. Such a distance is not suitable for the Japanese army."
Are you having any difficulty?"
Everyone pondered for a while, and Xiao Zhankui said: "Tuanzu, it may be difficult for ordinary people to cross the Qingyuan River, but it is really nothing to the Japanese army. As long as they find dozens of boats, they can still cross it."
Once the troops are transported, they can land nearby at any time."
"The enemy!"
Gao Hongming praised: "If we blow up the bridge, the Japanese can find ships to transport their infantry to land at any time, and they can land at any point.
But if we think about it differently, if we don’t blow up the bridge, can the Japanese only pass through this bridge, but we can calmly snipe the enemy from the front?"
"Wonderful!"
Wu Chengfeng slapped his thigh, "This bridge is like a bait. After all, for ordinary people, if there is a bridge to cross, who would bother to find a boat? Isn't that unnecessary? And you can guard this bridge and wait for work.
To snipe the Japs, it would be much better if the Japs had to send out ships to transport their troops, and we would instead focus on one thing and lose the other."
"The enemy!"
Gao Hongming said with a smile: "We have few troops, so limiting the enemy to a fixed area is the best way. However, the enemy is not stupid, and will definitely react, but it depends on the reaction speed of the enemy commander.
The 108th Division is just a second-class division of the Japanese, and its combat effectiveness is not very strong, but the 16th Division is a first-class division, the 16th Division... the 16th Division..."
As he spoke, the smile on Gao Hongming's face slowly disappeared, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face gradually became ugly.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw this, and asked one after another: "Tuanzuo, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with that Sixteenth Division?"
"There's something wrong, it's so wrong."
At this time, Gao Hongming's face had turned a little livid.
At this time, Gao Hongming suddenly remembered that the Sixteenth Division he was about to face was one of the culprits who personally carried out the Nanjing Massacre three years ago.
The Nanjing Massacre in 1937, even more than 80 years later, is still an indelible scar in the hearts of 1.4 billion Chinese people. During that six-week period, the Japanese army massacred a total of 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians.
The cruelty of the methods used by those Japanese beasts is simply too outrageous to describe.
A German couldn't help but exclaimed after witnessing the beastly behavior of the Japanese. Compared with the Japanese army, the SS in Nazi Germany were just like gentlemen.
The following Japanese troops caused this tragedy, namely the 6th Division, 9th Division, 16th Division, 18th Division, 114th Division, 3rd Division and 13th Division.
part, and the Kunisaki detachment.
Among them, the most brutal ones were the 6th Division led by Hisao Tani and the 16th Division led by Nakajima Kongo. Most of the killings were caused by these two units.
Previously, Gao Hongming had been thinking about how to lead his troops to complete the blocking mission and then retreat to Shanxi. He did not realize what was special about the other 16th Division coming towards him, so he just remembered that it was coming towards him.
What a heinous crime the incoming army committed in China.
When he thought of the 300,000 innocent souls in Nanjing, a surge of anger instantly surged in Gao Hongming, and he had the idea that he must not let go of the incoming Sixteenth Division.
Gao Hongming's change was immediately noticed by the surrounding officers.
Seeing Gao Hongming's ferocious expression as if he was choosing someone to devour, many officers were startled. They had known Gao Hongming for so long and had never seen him show such an expression before.
"Master...Master..."
Just when the anger was about to overwhelm Gao Hongming, Dabao's voice sounded in Gao Hongming's ears.
"What happened?"
Gao Hongming turned his head and saw Dabao's concerned look. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it seems that we will have to play with the little devils here for a few more days this time, and we must let them have fun."
The Sixteenth Division, a hundred miles away, never imagined that a young man from later generations would be thinking of ways to send this army to hell...
