The heavy rain still has no intention of stopping.
Shotaro Abe was sitting under a makeshift tent less than 200 meters away from the river.
The squadron he brought with him, which was not full of men, did not have that condition.
More than 100 soldiers could only join forces in raincoats to stay warm in the heavy rain.
Looking at the trembling soldiers gathered together, Shotaro Abe showed a hint of anger in his eyes.
This Fukuda Tamaki went too far. He actually asked him, the dignified chief of staff, to play the role of a sentinel. This is a great insult to any dignified officer.
Of course, Shotaro Abe knew that this was Tamaki Fukuda's revenge for his petty actions during this period.
But he did not feel any regrets. In his opinion, an incompetent person like Fukuda Tamaki was not worthy of being the captain of the 23rd Regiment.
What...why do you say Fukuda Tamaki is incompetent?
Isn't the matter obvious? A person who graduated from mainland China nearly 20 years ago is actually just a small lieutenant. Isn't this the most direct proof?
"Just wait, I will definitely let this fool get out of here."
Just when Shotaro Abe was feeling furious, a private (private) who was shivering in the heavy rain suddenly stood up and looked around.
Then he bent down and pushed his companion next to him, "Xiaolu-kun, did you hear any sound in the distance?"
"What do you care about the sound it makes?" the companion replied angrily.
"You'd better think about how to save your life in this heavy rain first."
My companion's words are not an exaggeration. It is very easy to get sick under such heavy rain.
But they could only carry it with a thin raincoat. In this case, the chance of getting sick was almost 100%.
What is certain is that after this heavy rain, the unit's health team must be full of patients.
After being scolded by his companion, the soldier could only sit down again angrily.
More than 100 soldiers were organized into groups, and more than a dozen people gathered together to keep warm.
But in this bad weather, the soldiers still complained.
After an unknown amount of time, another superior soldier raised his head in confusion.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Why is it so noisy?"
He looked around, and then pointed at a trembling private sitting outside.
"Junya, come over and see what's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
Seeing that the soldier hesitated for a moment, the superior soldier immediately dismissed him.
"Baga...you idiot, don't you even listen to what your seniors say?"
"Hi"
The private who received a slap could only stand up and run towards the river.
The surrounding soldiers were not surprised by this situation.
In the highly hierarchical Japanese army, it is completely normal for superiors to fight against subordinates and seniors to fight against juniors.
Not long after the soldier ran towards the river, the sound became louder and louder.
This also caused more and more Japanese soldiers to raise their heads and start to look around, and finally determined the direction of the source of the sound.
"It's the river, the sound came from the river." A soldier shouted loudly.
The soldiers stood up one after another and looked towards the river.
“Rumble…”
The sound is getting louder and louder.
At this moment, the private who had just been sent to investigate the situation ran back.
I saw him running and waving and shouting desperately.
However, due to the distance and the impact of the rain and wind, the soldiers could not hear what he was shouting for a while.
"Baga...what is that idiot shouting?" a soldier asked in confusion.
"Kakakakakakakaka..."
Suddenly there was a muffled sound like a chainsaw.
The running private's body suddenly paused, and then in full view of everyone, his body suddenly broke into two sections.
The upper body suddenly separated from the lower body and fell heavily to the ground.
I also had to run my lower body for several more steps, and then I followed the footsteps of my upper body.
Scarlet blood spurted out, dyeing a large area of the surrounding water red.
"Kekeke..."
The soldiers had not recovered from the shock, and with a harsh sound of metal friction, two ferocious figures appeared in the wind and rain.
For a moment, the air seemed to suddenly become solid, and then a shrill voice suddenly sounded from the riverside.
"The chariot... is a Chinese chariot!"
The soldiers were right. The first two Lynx tanks appeared. In the front firing hole of the leading tank, the parallel machine gun was pouring out fierce flames.
The two Bobcats rushed to the north bank of the Weihe River along the newly built pontoon bridge and attacked the Japanese soldiers. Many Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard fell to the ground.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get down...get down now!"
The officers who reacted fastest started shouting and cursing.
The reaction of the soldiers of the 23rd Regiment was not unpleasant.
The chaos lasted only three or four seconds. The soldiers who reacted either started rolling on the spot to avoid machine gun bullets, or they lay on the ground and started to fight back.
With the sound of ping ping ping ping, many bullets hit the two Lynx tanks.
It's a pity that rifle bullets can only scratch an itch for them.
It seems that he realized that the infantry on the opposite side did not pose any threat to him? The actions of these two Bobcats also became bolder.
They suddenly separated, and the Japanese troops quickly surrounded them from the left and right sides. The KwK 38 20mm cannon on the turret also poured out fire snakes.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong..."
The power of the 20mm machine gun is much greater than the 7.92mm bullet of the MG34 machine gun just now.
Once a Japanese soldier was hit, as long as his limbs were not shot, the whole person would basically be beaten to pieces.
No matter how elite the soldiers of the Sixth Division were, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing these two invulnerable tanks, and many soldiers retreated one after another.
"Snapped."
With a crisp sound of gunfire, a retreating soldier fell in a pool of blood. Not far from the soldier, Shotaro Abe, brandishing a pistol, appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"No one is allowed to retreat. All these tanks must be blocked here, otherwise everyone will die!"
Abe Shotarou's eyes were red and his whole face was ferocious.
The soldiers may not realize it, but as a human being, the chief of staff knows it very well.
These two tanks must be followed by more Chinese tanks. Once they are allowed to rush across the bridge, the 23rd Regiment will definitely not be able to survive for half an hour in its current state.
"Explosive pack, prepare the explosive pack immediately! The squadron leader organizes a stand-up team to drive that man back!"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, our explosive packs are all at the back." The squadron leader replied desperately.
"Then let the soldiers spread out and harass them around. Don't let them rush over, otherwise we will all die!"
When he said this, rain, blood, and mud all hit Mr. Abe's face and body, making him look like a demon at first glance.
