The harvest was good. The Japanese soldiers had quite a lot of ammunition. Many people in the whole company were using the Japanese 38 Gai. They could divide them and concentrate the rest of the ammunition, which alleviated Yu Yang's problem of insufficient ammunition on hand.
.
We also harvested more than a hundred grenades, which may not be used now, but if Japan wants to forcefully cross the river, these melon grenades can fry fish well, and they may have some unexpected effects.
The Japanese frontline command headquarters and the troops currently fighting Yu Yang are the Japanese 3rd Division and the 3rd Battalion of the 6th Infantry Regiment. The 3rd Division is one of Japan's Class A divisions. It was established in 1888 and is also Japan's largest military division.
The division, which was in China from the beginning to the end of World War II, surrendered in Zhenjiang in 1945.
The Third Division has two infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, one heavy artillery brigade, and one flying brigade, a total of sixteen regiments. This does not include a baggage regiment and a regiment directly under the division headquarters.
The total number of troops exceeds 40,000, and the division commander is Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita.
What landed at Chuanshakou was only part of the Third Division, about two regiments of troops, and more troops were constantly arriving by ship from Japan towards the Songhu battlefield.
In the command post of the Third Battalion, Sato Ichiro wiped the command knife in his hand and looked at the major in front of him: "Why didn't the Chinese position be taken down and dozens of Japanese Empire warriors were sacrificed? There is only one battalion of troops opposite you.
Don’t you think a squadron can’t take down a battalion of the Chinese army?”
"Sir, the Chinese army is holding the bridgehead position. We lack tanks and armored vehicles and cannot break through the blockade. Moreover, the Chinese used incendiary bombs, which hindered the charge of our soldiers. The Chinese army opposite us is very powerful. I would like to request
Use special operations!"
"Special operations? This is Shanghai. If we use special operations, it may arouse the dissatisfaction of the British and Americans. I will give you another chance. If you cannot win the position, you will commit suicide to thank Tianhuang!"
"Hayi!"
The major nodded and bent down, took two steps back, and left the command room. The one who had just charged was the first squadron of the third battalion, a full squadron of more than 180 people. Nearly a hundred people were sacrificed in one charge.
This number of casualties has already caught up with the number of Japanese casualties throughout the day in the past few days.
The Japanese came again. This time Ichiro Sato, captain of the Japanese Third Battalion, personally supervised the battle. He stood at the rear with a telescope in his hand and observed the Kuomintang positions in the distance.
"Yo Xi, the Chinese army commander opposite is not an incompetent person. Their firepower is matched very reasonably. You see, they are guarding both sides of the bridge. This prevents our warriors from rushing across the bridge head-on!"
"They know their disadvantage. They still haven't opened fire at about 200 meters away. This army probably doesn't have much ammunition!"
Ichiro Sato kept commenting while observing the position. He was not worried that his men would not be able to take the position. He waved his hand gently, and an officer came to his side and bowed.
"Matsuda-kun, have you seen the Chinese army in front? You lead people around from the flank. I don't think Major Sakai can take the position from the front, and I want your support!"
"Hayi!"
Kato Ichiro smiled and waved his hand again. Another officer came to his side. Sato Ichiro pointed to Yu Yang's position in the distance: "Kudo-kun, give Sakai-kun artillery support, and push the Chinese army's
The two machine gun emplacements have been removed, and our warriors cannot rush through them wherever they are!"
"Hayi!"
At the same time, Yu Yang looked at the Japanese position in the distance with a telescope in his hand. He saw Ichiro Kato and could see very clearly that a Japanese officer was observing his position with a telescope in his hand. The telescope in Yu Yang's hand was from modern times.
The 88-type 12x42 telescope I brought can clearly observe thousands of meters away.
"I'll leave the machine gun to you!" Yu Yang walked out of the position and went to find John. Except for Wang Hao's cannonballs, only John's sniper rifle could hit a target a thousand meters away.
John lay down in a dug hole, made a simple ghillie suit out of leaves and lay motionless on the ground: "John, I found a big fish, see if you can hit it, my eleven o'clock
In the direction, there is a Japanese officer, a lieutenant commander, holding a telescope in his hand and observing us!"
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he handed his telescope to John. John took the telescope, took a look, and gently put down the telescope: "Let me try!" After saying that, he gently lifted up his awm,
Aim into the distance.
"How fast is the wind?"
Yu Yang gently pinched a little bit of soil with his hands and tossed it gently: "Southwest wind, wind speed five!"
"The relative humidity is about thirty percent!"
John gently adjusted the muzzle of the gun, shifted the aim a little distance to the right of the target's head that Yu Yang mentioned, and then pulled the trigger.
"Did you hit it?"
John didn't answer. He pulled the gun bolt again and quickly fired another shot. After about two or three seconds, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Done!"
In the Japanese command post in the distance, Kato Ichiro kept commenting on the defense of the Chinese position. A bullet flew past him. A staff officer next to him was hit in the arm and fell to the ground wailing.
The surrounding officers were startled, and they all lowered their heads in panic, trying to find cover. Kato Ichiro also squatted down, but did not hear the gunfire. He stood up again with a straight face and reprimanded:
"It's just a stray bullet. You are all warriors of the empire, how can you still be afraid of stray bullets? We are one kilometer away from the Chinese army, don't worry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kato Ichiro's head was blown open. Kato Ichiro didn't understand until his death why he was shot. Wasn't it a stray bullet? There were Chinese marksmen lurking around him? But why couldn't he hear the gunfire?
"Sir!"
A group of officers immediately surrounded them, but they all lowered their heads for fear of being hit by bullets. At the same time, they began to shout loudly: "There are Chinese sharpshooters, find the Chinese sharpshooters!"
One by one, the officers shouted loudly and hurriedly dragged Kato Ichiro's body back. Lieutenant Colonel was killed in action, causing the entire Third Battalion to fall into panic.
Chaos broke out in the rear of the Japanese, and Japanese soldiers around the headquarters were sent out to conduct a blanket search of the area ahead. Vice-captain Hideo Tokinishiki, who replaced Ichiro Kato, immediately issued an order to retreat.
