The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed everyone. Zhongteng Jiahe, who was knocked to the ground, pushed himself up hard and shook off the thick layer of floating soil on his body. Then he looked forward and saw that he found more than two hundred meters ahead.
Suddenly, a large crater more than ten meters wide appeared. The two Japanese tanks that had been shooting wildly at our side had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the crater in front that was obviously much larger than the usual shells, Chongteng Jaga had a look of horror and surprise on his face, "That... that is at least a heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters.
It’s our reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming!”
Chongteng Jiahe struggled to turn his head and look back, only to see dozens of flares suddenly rising in the dark night sky at this moment. The hot lights illuminated the dark night sky as bright as day. Under the illumination of the flares, the south side of the bridge
Suddenly appeared in front of the crowd. In the distance, groups of soldiers wearing gray-green military uniforms rushed over from the north. They shouted loud killing sounds while swarming towards the bridge. In front of them, there were originally
The exhausted Japanese soldiers were chased by them and scattered in all directions. The riverside was full of Japanese soldiers fleeing in all directions.
Chongteng Jiahe immediately got up and shouted excitedly: "Rescuing warriors, our reinforcements have arrived. Everyone cheer up and counterattack immediately! Kill all the lackeys of the chaebol! Give Tus.
!”
"Half a year!"
The soldiers rescuing the Japanese who were originally overwhelmed by the Japanese tanks saw the reinforcements arriving. They were so excited that they all got up and kept pulling the triggers in their hands.
Shooting from the front. At this time, the sky was illuminated by flares as bright as day. Naturally, they could not let go of this opportunity. They used this light to violently pour out tongues of fire and bullets towards the Japanese troops in front who were being bombarded by artillery fire and their offensive formation was in disarray.
Like raindrops, they chased the retreating Japanese troops.
The Japanese army, which was hit by a sudden attack, was temporarily blinded. Although there were not many artillery shells falling from the sky at this time, these artillery shells were 200 mm caliber artillery shells. Each projectile weighed 1,780 kilograms.
It hit the ground heavily and immediately exploded a large crater of more than ten meters. There were no humans or animals within a radius of tens of meters. In just four or five minutes, several Japanese tanks and hundreds of Japanese soldiers were destroyed.
It was blown up without a trace. Even the craziest Japanese army did not dare to attack lightly after being bombed like this.
Some are happy, some are sad! Chongteng Jiahe was happy, but Colonel Jun Jinshan, who was in charge of the attack, was worried. He knew it when he saw one after another heavy artillery shells slowly but firmly falling into the Japanese army.
, this attack was destined to end in failure. Listening to the faint shouts mixed with the sound of artillery in the distance, he knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise he would wait until dawn for the three soldiers he brought.
I'm afraid the alliance won't be able to leave.
Colonel Jin Sanjun can be regarded as a ruthless person with an extreme personality. He gritted his teeth and said to the messenger beside him: "You give the order immediately. Leave a large group to stop the Chinese, and all other troops stop attacking and immediately turn towards Nanping!"
"
"ah……"
The orderly soldier beside him couldn't think straight for a while and was a little stunned. He looked at Colonel Jinshan Jun and was speechless.
Seeing the stunned look of the messenger, Colonel Jinshan Jun was also a little embarrassed, and said with a slightly red face: "Go down and deliver the order. The imperial army's transfer is only temporary, and we will come back soon."
"Hai!"
The orderly soldier finally woke up and hurried over to deliver the order...
Just as Colonel Kanayama Jun led the troops to retreat in a hurry, thousands of Japanese troops who retreated to the Jiangnan coast also suffered heavy losses under the fierce attack of the pursuing troops. Kashiwa Jingran, who was in charge of commanding the pursuit, also came to the riverside in a jeep.
As soon as Kashiwa Jingran arrived at the northern bank of the river, he heard a commotion around him. After a while, the guards around him came to report that Japanese rescue commander Shota Ishida asked to see him. Kashiwa Jingran smiled hoarsely and waved to the guards to let him over.
Soon a sound of footsteps came over, and Shota Ishida, whose face was covered with gunpowder smoke and whose yellow military uniform was also smoked black, walked over. I saw him coming to Kashiwa Jingran, saluting and loudly saying: "
Report to Your Excellency, General Kashiwa. Shota Ishida, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Rescue Army, was ordered to seize the Minjiang Bridge. The task has been completed. Please give instructions to your Excellency, General!"
"Very good!" Bai Jingran looked at Shota Ishida with satisfaction. He couldn't help but praise: "This time our army was able to seize the Minjiang Bridge intact, and you played a great role in saving the enemy. Don't worry, I will definitely report to Bai Jingran."
Sir, if you truthfully report your achievements, I think your dream of being a general will come true soon."
"Hai, thank you, General." Ishida was also in a surging mood at this moment. His long-cherished wish for many years was about to come true. How could he not be excited? But after the excitement, he bowed to Kashiwa Jingran and said: "Your Excellency, General, I
There is also a small request for your approval."
"Oh, tell me!" Bai Jingran was in a good mood at this time and decided in his heart that as long as Ishida's request was not too excessive, he would agree to what he could.
"Your Excellency, General, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle to seize the bridge. We are in urgent need of additional troops. Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency, General, will not wipe out all the Japanese troops surrounded by the river. Please leave them all to us!"
"Oh! Is that so?" Kashiwa looked at Shota Ishida and then at the riverside, and couldn't help but ponder.
To be honest, Bai Jingran originally didn't care much about Su Rui's whim of establishing this Japanese rescue force. He has always insisted on the mentality that people who are not of our own race must have different hearts. He has no intention of rearming Japanese prisoners.
There was still some resistance in my heart, but Suri was his supreme commander, and he couldn't say much after he gave the order.
However, in this battle, he discovered the usefulness of this rescue team. In fact, if the individual quality of these soldiers who have received strict training from the Japanese Army is no less than that of the most elite soldiers of the Seventh Army.
Soldiers, there are many reasons why they are retreating steadily.
And judging from this operation to seize the bridge, it is hard to say whether the Seventh Army would have succeeded if it had been carried out by itself, and it is certain that the casualties would have been frightening. After all, in this kind of operation of infiltrating behind enemy lines, like rescuing
**This force, composed entirely of Japanese prisoners, has a natural and absolute advantage. All they have to do is perform in their true colors, which the Seventh Army cannot match.
After quickly weighing the ceremony in his mind, Kashiwa Jingran asked Ishida Shota, who was looking at him eagerly: "Ishida-kun, how many casualties did you save in this operation?"
When I mentioned this, Ishida's face drooped, and he said listlessly: "Your Excellency, General, we have reached one-third of the rescue mission, so we are indeed continuing to replenish troops." In order to add to his persuasion, Shota Ishida
He raised his voice and said: "Please rest assured, our rescuers are absolutely loyal to Commander-in-Chief Su. Please trust me on this!" After saying that, Ishida immediately bowed to Kashiwa Jingran with a ninety.
Bow deeply.
Bai Jingran nodded secretly and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Ishida, I believe in your loyalty to Commander Su. Let's do this. On the shore, our troops are still surrounding more than 3,000 Japanese troops. Now they are stubbornly
If they resist, I will give you one hour to surrender them. If you need any artillery support, you can tell me. As long as they can surrender to us within half an hour, I will allow him to hand over all the surrendered Japanese prisoners.
How about you save me?"
"Hai, I'm so grateful for you (Thank you so much!)" The excited Ishida Shota spoke the most familiar Japanese in his excitement, and bowed several times to Kashiwa Jingran.
Bai Jingran waved his hand nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, go ahead. Remember, you only have half an hour to surrender them. If it takes more than half an hour, I will order the artillery to cover them with artillery fire!"
"
"Hai, I'll go right away!"
Ishida also knew that time was precious, so he hurriedly ran towards his troops...
"boom……"
A shell exploded near a crater where Nishizumi Kojiro was lying down. The violent explosion shook his eardrums, and the raised soil also splashed all over him. Then he looked at the people in front of him under the cover of artillery fire.
Looking at the dark shadows advancing slowly but surely in his own position, and then at the surging river behind him, waves of despair flashed through his heart.
"Am I going to die here today?" Nishizumi Kojiro firmly grasped the command sword in his hand, then looked at the soldiers around him who also had despairing looks in their eyes, and his face twitched.
"I'm really not willing to give in, but as an imperial man, it is my fate to die on the battlefield."
Thinking of this, Kojiro Nishizumi took out the Southern-style pistol from his waist, roughly checked the magazine, and saw that the magazine was full of bullets. He slowly pointed the muzzle of the gun at his temple.
"I am an imperial man, and I will never be a prisoner."
As he murmured in his mouth, he raised his eyes habitually and looked at the opposite side. Suddenly he rubbed his eyes vigorously, with a look of disbelief on his face, because he was surprised to find that the Chinese troops wearing gray-green military uniforms on the opposite side
They withdrew unexpectedly, and were replaced by a group of soldiers wearing khaki uniforms. Kojiro Nishizumi's unique good eyesight as an armored soldier could clearly see that those soldiers were not only dressed the same as ordinary Japanese soldiers, but also the postures they displayed.
The offensive formation is also exactly the same as that of the Japanese army.
Anxious and angry, Nishizumi Kojiro suddenly cursed: "Yaga, this army is the army of the Empire of Japan. What on earth is going on?"
