The brothers at the guerrilla observation post on the other side of the river watched helplessly as a guerrilla group preparing to sneak attack the Japanese were all killed. However, they were helpless and their eyes were blurred by tears.
On a life-and-death battlefield, any negligence will lead to fatal consequences. Even veterans of many battles may not be able to guarantee that they will survive the next battle. This is a cruel war.
Since last night, the Japs have been attacked by various cold guns and traps by the guerrilla forces. There are many people killed and missing, and every Japs is angry.
After finally setting up an ambush and eliminating a guerrilla group that came for a sneak attack, several people were injured. Naturally, they roared in anger.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounded the corpses of those brothers, stabbing them with bayonets and picking them up. Blood spattered, and they howled excitedly, deliberately showing it to the guerrilla brothers on the other side. The brothers on the other side turned pale with anger.
.
"You little devil, you have the guts to hit grandpa here, so what's the point of bullying the corpse!" The brothers at the observation post on the other side of the river cursed angrily and kept pulling the triggers to shoot.
But across a river, the Japanese were out of range of their rifles. Apart from being angry, they found themselves powerless.
"Brothers are so stubborn that they have not embarrassed us Chinese people! We can't let the little devils look down on us and fire into the sky to see off our brothers!" the squad leader of the observation post wiped away the tears on his face and shouted with a choked voice.
road.
"Bang bang bang!" A row of neat gunshots rang across the slowly flowing river, and the brothers' dark faces were covered with tears.
The guerrilla squad leader put down his gun and pointed to the other side in a low voice: "You can see clearly, this is how the little devils tortured our brothers. They will not even spare the corpses after they die. You should remember this for me. When you meet the little devils in the future,
Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
The brothers at the observation post looked like clowns on the other side, carrying the bodies of their fallen brothers and tossing them around, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Walk!"
The guerrilla squad leader couldn't bear to watch the Japs abusing his fallen brothers any longer, so he turned around and left with a long stride. The angry brothers soon disappeared on the river bank.
Watching the guerrilla observation post on the other side disappear, the little Japs who had been feeling angry were still running and jumping there, and even brought in the wolf dogs from the search team to eat the bloody corpses, with a large number of Japs surrounding them.
Laughing loudly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
White smoke rose from the hidden position of the guerrillas on the other side of the river, and high-explosive bombs swept across the river bank with a roar of revenge, falling into the group of violent Japanese.
The lumps of mud were exploded, and the Japanese who were gathered around screaming and laughing were howling like ghosts and howling, their flesh and blood flying, and they were rolling and crawling to avoid it. The wolves and dogs were also blown up by the explosion.
"Bagaya road!"
Seeing that the Chinese guerrillas actually pulled the infantry artillery over, the disgraced Japanese who were bombed screamed in anger.
Soon, the Japanese's retaliatory shells hit the river bank head-on. Many shells fell into the river, causing huge water columns to rise and turbulent waves to fly.
Although the strength of the guerrillas has grown, and each guerrilla battalion is equipped with a machine gun battery, ranging from infantry cannons to mortar grenades, ammunition has always been a constraint in improving combat effectiveness.
The brothers in the artillery squad only fired a few retaliatory bombardments against the Japanese and then immediately moved away. Firstly, there was insufficient ammunition, and secondly, their strength was still weak and they had not yet reached the strength to fight against the Japanese.
The exhausted Japanese soldiers were not very clear about the situation on the other side of the river. They had no intention of crossing the river until they received the exact order to attack, so this short battle ended quickly and disappeared invisibly.
Although the fighting here has stopped, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield can still be heard in the distance and sometimes near, and the guerrilla groups active around the Japanese are launching cold-gun attacks on the Japanese almost all the time.
But the Japs had already heightened their vigilance, and it was in broad daylight. The attacks of various guerrilla groups were just harassment, and the effect on the Japs was far less effective than the attacks at night.
The Japanese attack in the morning only advanced less than three kilometers, and the huge casualties made their attack look weak.
The Japanese soldiers who endured fatigue and cold had to stop again in the field to rest and wait for the brigade headquarters to adjust the attack plan.
It has been more than ten hours since the high-spirited Hirayama Brigade set off from Gaoyou. The failure of the attack put the captain Hirayama in a bad mood.
A group of haggard-looking staff officers were discussing around the map, re-examining their opponents and adjusting their plans based on the intelligence provided by the current vanguard squad.
"Report, urgent call from the detachment leader!" A Japanese communications soldier rushed to Hirayama Jing and stood up to salute him with a military salute.
"Read--" Captain Kei Hirayama said, rubbing his tired temples without answering the telegram.
After being stunned for a moment, the communications soldier immediately launched the message: "The Nishiyuan Artillery Battalion will go to the Jieshou battlefield and cooperate with your troops to launch a strong attack on the Chinese army facing them. The Jieshou must be conquered and the passage to Baoying must be opened...
"
Although detachment leader Sano Taro sent an artillery brigade to support, brigade leader Hirayama Keiji not only did not feel the slightest joy, but felt a pressure.
He sent a message to the detachment leader to explain that he had encountered a tenacious resistance from the Chinese Army, and he just wanted the detachment leader, Taro Sano, to give him more time.
But now that Taro Sano has directly sent the artillery brigade up, the purpose is self-evident, which is to be seriously dissatisfied with the failure of their attack.
If the assistance of the artillery brigade is needed to capture Jieshou, then their Pingshan brigade will also be disgraced, and I am afraid they will not be able to hold their heads up again in the future.
The staff officers at the brigade headquarters who were discussing were also clenching their teeth, their fists were clenched tightly, and their faces were full of sullenness.
This telegram not only told them that support was coming, but more importantly, it showed contempt for their brigade. How could they, who were so arrogant, accept this?
It was the consensus of everyone in the tent that we must completely defeat the Chinese army before the arrival of the Nishihara Artillery Battalion and capture the leader.
They are proud imperial people and will never allow their pride to be trampled on. They must defend their honor with blood and courage.
The Japanese captain, Hirayama Jingtie, waved the communications troops to retreat with a livid face. Looking at the sullen staff officers, he suddenly stood up.
"Order!"
All the Japanese staff officers stood at attention and listened to the instructions.
"The squadrons will attack in half an hour! Attack at all costs!!"
Faced with the pressure from his superiors, the Japanese captain Hirayama Kei had no choice but to organize his troops to attack again.
Because they are soldiers, soldiers have to defend their honor. It is the task of their Hirayama Battalion to capture the leader. If the Nishihara Artillery Battalion captures it, all of their Hirayama Battalion will simply commit suicide.
