Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seventh Astonishing Casualty Report
After fighting for a day and night, not only the soldiers of the Seventh Army were tired, but the Japanese soldiers of the Second Division who launched the charge were even more tired. Therefore, when hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery bombarded the Japanese positions, they were already exhausted.
The Japanese army did not react at once, and many soldiers were blown to pieces on the starting position.
Although the soldiers wearing gas masks were still accustomed to shouting kills to boost their morale during the charge, their voices had become a bit weird after passing through the sound chip of the gas masks.
Yes, this is a roar like a hell monster.
Liu Tianhai, who was carrying a bayonet-mounted Garand rifle along the slope to attack the two wings of the position, suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him. In the smoke-filled position, he couldn't see the difference in military uniforms at all, but when he discovered
After the opponent didn't put on the gas mask, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately jumped forward and stabbed the person in the abdomen. As the person screamed, Shi Jianfei pushed the rifle forward, pushed the enemy down, and then pulled it out.
He picked up the bayonet and then rushed forward. However, he had just run a few steps when he heard a crisp sound of submachine gunfire from the left. He immediately shouted the command and moved closer to form a temporary assault team with the submachine gunners.
At this time, Japanese soldiers whose internal organs were shattered could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Occasionally, some who were lucky enough to be uninjured were stabbed to death by soldiers of the Seventh Army who rushed towards them with bayonets before they could stand up.
When rushing past the wounded Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, they did not forget to fire a few more shots or stab them with a knife. The soldiers who expanded along the Japanese positions to both sides tried their best to expand the breach. Everyone knew what was behind the positions.
There are also large Japanese troops. Once the Japanese troops react, they will definitely fight back with all their strength.
"Da da!……"
Liu Tianhai, who crossed the slope and rushed into the Japanese formation, saw a few shadows coming up and fired a few bullets. Then the rifle made a clear spring impact sound, and it turned out that the empty magazine automatically ejected. Liu Tianhai
He quickly took out a magazine from the cloth bag on his waist and was about to return the rifle when he saw a man with a bayonet rushing towards him in the smoke and dust. The opponent was less than one meter away from him, and just when Liu Tianhai thought he was
Just when he was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared from beside him and stepped forward. In the flash of gunfire, more than ten bullets hit the Japanese soldier's throat, breaking his neck, and sprayed out
Blood splashed like a fountain onto Liu Tianhai's gas mask, almost blocking his sight.
"Thanks brother!"
While wiping the blood on his lenses, Liu Tianhai thanked him. At this time, two more soldiers holding rifles surrounded the soldier holding a submachine gun. The four people immediately formed a group with the submachine gun as the core.
As a temporary assault team, the four people rushed forward again...
At this time, the charging troops were rushing forward following the explosion point of the artillery shells, and due to the large number of smoke grenades and tear gas grenades, the position was filled with hazy smoke. Due to the obstruction of the line of sight, this also had to be done completely.
The organized troops were separated from their original comrades during the charge, so they could only find their nearest comrades on the spot to form a new assault team. Soldiers often followed the sound of gunfire to find their comrades. Equipment of the Seventh Group Army
The unique crisp bursts of the Thompson submachine gun and the Garand rifle have become the best source of search. Even in poor visibility conditions, soldiers can often find their comrades because of the sound of gunfire.
The battle lasted for more than 20 minutes. At this time, the dust and smoke that filled the position began to slowly fall under the influence of the wind. This also allowed the soldiers to more clearly see targets more than ten or even twenty meters away.
With the rumbling explosions on the position, they could even hear the desperate roars of the Japanese troops. Although the sight was still not very good, they could still see that the explosions of the shells falling in front of the Japanese positions would always blow some
The Japanese troops were blown up. And among these roars were the screams of the wounded Japanese troops...
The sun rose slowly. The sun in June was very hot. It quickly dispelled the haze that originally shrouded the battlefield and spread the golden sunshine on the earth. A light mist enveloped the sky. Through the thin
Through the fog, you can see the fields, hills, and the stretching barbed wire fences on the positions, as well as the trenches with turned black soil. The stretching trenches are filled with the corpses of dead soldiers. These corpses were wearing gray-green and khaki military uniforms. They were
Densely packed people fell in the trenches and mud. Life was so cheap at this moment.
The time now is 9:15 in the morning. At this time, the gunfire has completely stopped, and the land for several kilometers has fallen into an eerie silence.
“Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak out out out out of the ground. Under the protection of dozens of soldiers, two generals wearing khaki woolen general uniforms stepped onto the knee-deep soil to inspect the position.
The two generals were Fusutaro Toshima and Seiichi Yoshimoto, who commanded the Japanese army and fought the Seventh Army on the opposite side for a day and a night.
Their faces were all ugly at this moment. None of them expected that after being suppressed and beaten by them for a day and night, the Chinese army on the opposite side would actually surge up to launch a counterattack against them, and the intensity of the counterattack was so fierce and decisive. This is also
It was really beyond their expectation.
Futaro Toshima took a deep breath and asked: "Yoshimoto-kun, have the results of last night's casualties come out?"
Yoshimoto Seiichi shook his head solemnly, "Not yet, but it can be expected that the casualties will not be too few. Captain Akashi Genjiro has just reported to me that his fourth regiment can no longer gather a squadron.
"
"Report!"
At this time, a staff officer trotted up and handed Yoshimoto a piece of paper. Yoshimoto took the note and glanced at it quickly, then his face suddenly turned pale, and his body couldn't help but sway a few times.
Down.
"Yoshimoto-kun, what happened?" Toshima Fuotaro came over.
Yoshimoto Sadao handed a piece of paper to Toshima Fuotaro. He looked ahead without saying a word, his face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.
"Nani, how is this possible?" Looking at the number five thousand eight hundred and thirty-six written on the note, Fusutaro Toshima felt as if he had been hit by a bolt of electricity. The hairs all over his body stood up, and his whole body was in a state of shock.
He had a dull look.
As Japan's most elite field horse division with the 44 system, the Second Division has four infantry regiments, a heavy artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, a cavalry regiment and a baggage regiment. The entire division has a total strength of
There were more than 28,000 people, but nearly 6,000 people were lost after just one day and one night of fighting. What does this mean? It means that as long as this kind of fighting continues for another three to four days, the Second Division can start from the Japanese army.
Disappeared in the establishment! (To be continued...)
