Chapter five hundred and forty-four desperately grab the bridge
Just when Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu was in a panic, Ishida Shota, who had captured the Minjiang Bridge, was leading his rescuers and fighting fiercely with the Japanese 89th Regiment, which was ordered to come for reinforcements.
Colonel Jin Sanjun of the 89th Regiment is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big face and a strong build. He is a Japanese mid-level officer with a calm personality. An hour and a half ago, when he When he learned that the Minjiang Bridge was lost and that he was ordered to lead his troops to recapture the Minjiang Bridge, he was still very shocked. He could not understand that the Minjiang Bridge, located in the middle of the war zone, would be silently taken away by the Chinese. Knowing that this bridge is guarded by two squadrons of infantry and two squadrons of anti-aircraft troops, how could it be lost so easily? This is too weird.
But it wasn't until he led his 89th Regiment to the Minjiang Bridge and launched an attack on the defenders of the bridge that he truly felt that his world view was about to collapse.
"Baga Yalu, the one we are fighting is actually the Imperial Army! Who can tell me what is going on!"
As soon as the battle began, Colonel Jinsan Jun saw through the telescope that the defenders on the bridge were also troops wearing Japanese military uniforms. At first, Colonel Jinshan Jun thought the opponent was just a Chinese army wearing Japanese military uniforms. They must have used this military uniform to deceive the troops originally guarding the bridge. However, when Jin Shanjun commanded the troops to fight against the troops in front, they felt something was wrong, because the fighting style of the army on the opposite side was too familiar. Like the soldiers of the 89th Regiment, they also waited until the opponent reached a distance of 300 meters before starting to shoot. Moreover, they had no control over grenades, mortars, Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 11 light machine guns. The use is also very sophisticated, and the tactical connection level is exactly the same as that of the Japanese army. Jin Shanjun even heard the order given in Japanese by the opponent's officer a few hundred meters away. Now even the stupidest person can see what is wrong. , the troops on the opposite side were not Chinese troops wearing Japanese military uniforms at all, but an authentic Japanese army that received the same training as them.
Not only Jinshan Jun was aware of this phenomenon, but even the Japanese soldiers of the 89th Regiment who participated in the direct attack on the front line also saw it. This was bad. The Japanese soldiers who participated in the attack immediately lost their morale, and all the soldiers began to yell. There's an uproar. Let's play ball. Are we going to fight to the death with our own army?
"Bage Yalu, what on earth is going on? Someone, get me through to the division headquarters!"
Colonel Jin Sanjun quickly recruited communications troops and contacted the division headquarters of the 24th Division.
"Moxi Moxi, I am Colonel Jin Sanjun of the 89th Regiment. I want to speak to the division commander...is it your Excellency the division commander? Something is wrong with me here. How could the imperial army be fighting against us? troops, have the imperial troops stationed at the bridge rebelled?"
After receiving the call from Jin Shanjun, Heiyan Yisheng was a little confused. This was too bizarre. After calling back and forth, could it be that the one who occupied the Minjiang Bridge was actually an imperial army?
In fact, the news that Suri used captured Japanese soldiers to form a Japanese rescue force was known to the top Japanese officials. After all, there is no airtight wall in this world, let alone an army composed of thousands of Japanese. .But the bad thing is that the Japanese base camp is bad. Everyone in the world thinks that the Chinese people have a good face, but they don’t know that in fact, if they have a good face, the Japanese are definitely no worse than the Chinese. Or even worse. Otherwise, in the In another time and space, the Japanese government would not have tampered with history textbooks without permission, regardless of the public opinion.
The Japanese base camp knows very well that if the existence of this army is leaked, the Japanese government will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world. Therefore, the attitude of the bosses of the Japanese base camp, which has never been very united, towards this matter is surprising.
Unified, they not only ordered the officers in the base camp to strictly keep secrets, but also blocked information from the various units below. They also issued a hush order to the officers and soldiers of the grassroots units. The information was strictly ordered not to be leaked.
It has to be said that the efforts of the Japanese base camp are very effective. So far, in the Central China Front Army, except for senior officers such as Okamura Neiji, basically no one knows that Suri has such an army all composed of "
Troops composed of "rebels", and "outsiders" from the Kwantung Army like the 24th Division were even less aware of it.
Although Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu did not understand this, it did not hinder his judgment of the battle situation. Soon his answer reached Jinshan Jun's ears.
"Baga, I don't care who the army on the opposite side is composed of. By occupying the Minjiang Bridge, they have strangled the neck of our Imperial Japanese Army. Your mission is to destroy them all. Now the Chariot Division has sent a
A tank regiment and a field artillery regiment are going to support you. Your task is to recapture the bridge before dawn! Do you understand?"
"Hai!"
Faced with the stern tone of the division commander on the radio, Jin Shanjun had no choice but to lower his head and show his obedience. He quickly called his three captains over and ordered them to take turns to attack the bridge to consume the energy of the troops guarding the bridge first.
and ammunition, waiting for the arrival of the tank regiment and the field artillery regiment to recover the bridge in one fell swoop.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the troops guarding the bridge across the way look more and more like our Imperial Army. What is going on?" Major Shojiro Sugawara, the captain of the First Battalion, asked eagerly.
"Yes, when I was commanding the troops to attack just now, I actually heard that the army on the opposite side was also speaking Japanese, and it was with a pure Kobe accent. Now the soldiers have almost lost their fighting spirit. You have to think of a way.
Okay." The one who spoke was Major Yasui Jiro, the captain of the Third Battalion. He was an impatient man and roared as soon as he opened his mouth.
Although Major Tanaka Shinzo, the captain of the second battalion, did not speak, his eyes were fixed on Jin Sanjun, and the meaning was self-evident.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, Jin Shanjun said: "Gentlemen, to be honest, I don't know who the army on the opposite side is. I only know that this army is now in full swing.
It occupies the only bridge connecting the Minjiang River channel, and the ownership of this bridge will affect the lives of more than 10,000 imperial troops in the north of the Yangtze River. Now the imperial army on the other side of the river is being besieged by the Chinese army. If we don't open this channel as soon as possible,
Then the imperial army in Jiangbei will be in danger of being annihilated, but you, now you are chattering here for this insignificant hour, are you still soldiers of the empire?" Jin Shanjun simply shouted the last sentence.
"Hai! Your Excellency, the captain is right, we are too persistent."
Jin Shanjun has been the boss of the 89th Regiment for so many years, so it is not for nothing. After being scolded by him, several captains felt their faces burning. Major Shojiro Sugawara sighed.
Then he bowed deeply to Jin Shanjun and said, "Your Excellency, Captain, I was wrong. I should not have questioned your order at this time. Please punish me."
Seeing that the person involved admitted his mistake, Jin Shanjun couldn't say anything else. He nodded: "It's good to know. I'll leave the rest to you."
The three captains all bowed to Jinshan: "Hai, I am willing to die serving the emperor!"
Jin Shanjun held the command sword in his hand and said loudly: "Gentlemen, let us work together! No matter whether there are Chinese people or traitors of the empire in front of us, since they want to go against us, then we must destroy them!"
"Hai!"
Soon, the Japanese troops who had regained their courage began to attack the bridge again, and fierce gunfire rang out on the bridge again...
"Da da da da..."
"Dong dong dong dong..."
"Bagou...Bagou..."
At this time, the sound of gunfire was everywhere beside the Minjiang Bridge in the north of the Yangtze River. Countless metal bullets were constantly flying in the night sky. They flew forward tirelessly until they were exhausted or encountered an irresistible object.
Only then will it stop.
The person in charge of the defense in the direction of Jiangbei was Chongteng Kaga. This forty-year-old lieutenant-commander who was a large-scale merchant and was an anti-Japanese rescuer. At this time, he also put on a desperate posture, waving the command knife and commanding his men to move forward.
The Japanese troops fired with all their might.
Behind the rubble, the Japanese rescue soldiers on the ground worked hard to pull the bolts of their guns and shoot desperately. They used the Japanese-made Type 38 rifles in their hands to harvest the lives of their compatriots. No! In their eyes
These people are no longer compatriots. Since surrendering to the Chinese, these Japanese soldiers have been artificially divided, at least mentally. Behind a Type 92 heavy machine gun, the machine gunner has a bloodthirsty look on his face.
With an expression on his face, he fired the machine gun desperately, without any psychological pressure, as if he was shooting at a group of lifeless solids.
The rain of bullets fired by rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, grenades, and mortars kept devouring the lives of the Japanese soldiers, but they still charged with heart-shaking screams. Behind these Japanese soldiers, the officers
They waved their sabers desperately and drove the soldiers to charge. At this moment, they had no way out! The only hope for survival was to tear open the enemy's defense line in front of them.
Although Su Rui didn't pay much attention to this Japanese rescue team, and they were asked to do some hard work on weekdays, he didn't treat them badly in daily life. They still had enough food, and for
To express the importance of this unit and to make up for their lack of firepower, Suri also gave some units the German-made MP38 submachine guns after re-equipment. Therefore, their firepower is still very low compared to the Japanese army.
