The poison gas bombs used by the Japanese army in the early stages of the war of aggression against China were tear gas bombs. It was a light yellow solid that was highly irritating, causing people to cry, cough, have headaches, and in severe cases, cause convulsions, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and death.
"Quick, put on the gas mask." Under the threat of life and death, the soldiers on the battlefield put on the pig's nose that was always in the way at an unprecedented speed.
As the Japanese army continued to fire gas bombs, the first battalion's position was shrouded in thick yellow smoke. The surrounding visibility also became very poor. As if in an instant, the gunfire on the position suddenly calmed down.
Coming down, it seemed as if the bloody scene just now was just an illusion.
At this time, Ren Ran had no time to pay attention to the Japanese troops at the front of the position. He was directing the soldiers to carry more than a dozen wounded soldiers who had been poisoned before they had time to put on gas masks to the back for emergency treatment.
The remaining soldiers of the Japanese First Battalion, who had been suppressed by the fierce firepower of a battalion, quickly withdrew. Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu looked at the remaining soldiers of the First Battalion passing in front of him in twos and threes and burst into tears. He cried one by one.
The standard infantry brigade of 1,100 people fought for three days against the 29th Army on the opposite side, but only suffered less than 200 casualties. However, after just launching a wave of attacks, less than 200 people came back.
In other words, the attack just now actually killed nearly 700 warriors of the empire.
At this time, Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu only felt that his chest and lungs were getting hotter and hotter, so hot that they seemed to explode. He looked at the calm position of the Chinese Army opposite, and uttered an order in his mouth: "No.
Second Brigade, gather”
Soon, the Second Battalion was assembled. Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu stared at the captain of the Second Battalion in front of him fiercely and said word by word: "Ida-kun, the special bombs have been fired, and the next step is up to you.
"You must win this position for me. I want to capture the commander of the China Army on the opposite side alive. I want to see what he looks like."
Now if you ask Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu who he hates the most in the world, he will answer without hesitation: It is the Chinese commander on the opposite position. If possible, he is willing to spend everything he has in exchange for the other person's life.
.
After what happened today, Aizu Wakamatsu knew that his career in the military was over. Even if he captured the opposite position, the stain of almost an entire brigade being killed in one attack wave would stick to him forever.
With this stain, he can only wear the rank of colonel from now on until he retires.
However, before that, he must capture the position on the opposite side, and he must cut off the heads of the Chinese soldiers who took the lives of nearly 700 warriors of the 29th Regiment.
When the soldiers of the second brigade arrived at the place where the first brigade's broken wings were stumped and broken, the dense poisonous gas had been blown away by the wind, and they found that the opposite position had long been silent.
With the lessons learned from the past, the captain of the second battalion carefully sent a squadron to test the attack. At this time, Ren Ran, who was hiding in the trench and peeking through the gap, frowned and said, "Hey, these little devils will pay him back."
You are such a good scholar. Tell the brothers to put them in before beating them. Now that more than a hundred people are here, don’t leave."
When the soldiers of this squadron cautiously arrived 150 meters in front of the position, countless black muzzles suddenly appeared on the opposite position and began to spit out tongues of fire.
"Da da da" is the coherent sound of the Somi submachine gun.
"Bang bang bang" is the crisp sound of Jialan's rifle.
"Chachacha" is the rapid hissing sound of mg34
All of this formed a fire net of death, with countless criss-crossing streams of metal bullets carrying the smell of death roaring, surrounding the squadron in a hail of life-threatening bullets.
The dozens of Japanese soldiers at the forefront were torn into pieces by countless whizzing projectiles before they could even scream. The 7.62mm bullets killed and injured at a distance of more than 100 to 200 meters.
The force is amazing, it rotates violently, and generates amazing heat during the friction with the air. It ruthlessly penetrates into the fragile body of the soldier on the opposite side, and the scorching temperature makes the blood in the target's body burn.
.
The huge kinetic energy of the projectile causes it to pass through the body of the first target and continue to fly towards the second target until its power is exhausted.
Soon, a standard squadron of nearly 180 people fell to the front more than 100 meters away from the position. Only a few people at the back escaped. Those bloody corpses seemed to accuse this.
The brutality of the battle.
"Ah Baga" Captain Yitian of the second brigade almost broke all the teeth in his mouth. The poisonous gas just now was of no use to this army. Instead, the Imperial [] brigade was tricked by them, and another squadron
He fell in front of their position.
Fierce firepower and abnormal vitality. This is Captain Ida's only thought at this time.
"Order the troops to move in immediately." Captain Ida, who still had some sense, reluctantly issued the order to retreat. Well, I have to admit that the Japanese still have a strong sense of shame. They generally call requesting for reinforcements a request for tactical guidance.
Calling retreat "turn in" means that we change places and then move forward. This is the same name as those in the heavenly world where Chief Su and his colleagues often visited in later generations.
In later generations, Japan is ranked first in the world, defeating the film and television industries of countless countries, including Hollywood. Why is it that the love action film sells well all over the world and makes actresses in countless countries so embarrassed that they can’t hold their heads up? The reason is
It's just that the shame of the Japanese has been integrated into their bones. Don't you see that the American performances are too bold, the Russian performances are too fierce, the British performances are too stiff, and the German performances are too rigid. Only the performances of Japanese women are just right.
A Woman's Inner World Well, let's stop this. Someone is going to scold me. When Colonel Aizuwakamatsu retreated after seeing that the attack of the Second Battalion failed, he knew that his fate had been decided. It wouldn't take long, and he would be notified.
A notice of his return to the country will be sent to him, and his upward climb has been abruptly interrupted by the defenders on the opposite side.
At the Second Division Headquarters, all the commanders of the Sendai Division, including the four infantry commanders, the field artillery team, the reconnaissance team, the engineering team, the transportation team, and more than a dozen major officers, gathered here.
Together.
Okamura Neiji was sitting at the head of the conference room, his usually calm and self-possessed face looking even more frighteningly dark.
Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu was sitting at the bottom of his seat and was so embarrassed that he almost shrank his head into his crotch. The three commanders present all had their own attack targets. Only his own team suffered such a huge defeat, which made him feel that he was ashamed to see others.
Already.
"Gentlemen, the situation of the 29th Regiment's attack on the Iron Bridge just now was unfavorable, resulting in heavy losses for the 29th Regiment. I am responsible. I will personally apologize to the headquarters here." The meeting began.
, Okamura Neji immediately took away part of the responsibility, which made Colonel Aizuwakamatsu both moved and ashamed.
He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, you don't have to excuse your humble position. This is because your humble position and incompetence have failed your expectations. Commander, please punish me severely. I will never complain."
"Yo Xi" Okamura Neiji waved his hand: "Now is not the time to hold people responsible. The most important thing now is how to capture the big iron bridge. He has become a shame to our Second Division. If we don't capture it,
Our shame will never be washed away, and he will leave a stain on the war history of the Second Division. We will never tolerate such a situation."
At the end of his speech, Okamura Neji became fierce.
"Hi"
The officers below bowed in unison.
"Tomorrow, the Fourth Regiment will be responsible for attacking the large iron bridge. Captain Matsuura, are you confident?" The Fourth Regiment was the oldest regiment when the Sendai Division was formed, and it was also the earliest regiment formed by the Japanese Army.
One, its combat power is very powerful. Okamura Neji sent it out with the intention of deciding the outcome with one fell swoop.
"Hey, I will cut off the head of that China commander and bring it to you." Colonel Matsuura lowered his head and said resolutely.
"Yes." Neji Okamura nodded noncommittally and turned around and said: "Colonel Katsumura Fukujiro, tomorrow your field artillery regiment must fully support the attack of the fourth regiment, without any mistakes."
"Hi"
Colonel Katsumura Fukujiro responded sharply.
Okamura Neji stood up suddenly and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, the troops stationed on the bridge are not the ordinary Chinese troops, but a force sent by the Chahar government. Their firepower and combat quality are not what we usually see.
The Chinese army that has arrived can't match it, so you must use all your strength to deal with it, do you understand?"
“Hi Mikado Onboard”
Everyone in the command room bent down and responded.
The sun disappeared at the foot of the mountain with its unwilling afterglow, and night began to cover the earth. After eating the dinner sent by the 29th Army from the rear, Ren Ran and his brothers took the time to build a position. He knew that today,
He just caught the Japanese by surprise. By tomorrow, the Japanese will have brought over the artillery. By then, the battle will not be as easy to fight as it was today.
While the soldiers of the first battalion were working hard, two cameras were set up behind the position and were also working. They were sent by Chahar's newly established Zhangjiakou Film Company to various units to record the live battles so that audiences across the country could watch them.
and the people all saw how the Thirty-seventh Army resisted foreign humiliation and fought against the Japanese invaders.
At least these two cameras have faithfully recorded today's battle scene.
