Lieutenant Colonel Hatori looked at the group of defeated soldiers in front of him with a livid face. They were like a wounded beast, breathing heavily and pacing back and forth in front of the queue.
The squadron leader, Captain Hideda Gorenko, who was already in rags and even had his collar badge hidden, stood dejectedly in front of the team, not even daring to raise his head.
As the frontline commander who ordered the retreat, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's appearance, his situation seemed extremely unfavorable.
However, he did not order a retreat, let alone 160 people left. Even if the howitzers did not fire, and the Chinese continued to fight until now, it is a miracle that there are still 60 people. The Chinese are more tenacious than imagined. In the mountain artillery
Under the pressure, their gunfire never stopped.
Moreover, the firepower far exceeded any Chinese army he had ever seen, and even they were inferior.
Colonel Beast and the Independent Regiment are indeed worthy of their reputation.
Captain Matsuda also stood aside with his head lowered, not daring to look at the ashen-faced Lieutenant Colonel. As the first to flee for his life, and with the madness of the private, before he could stop him, he "will die sooner or later" on his back.
Run all the way to the main formation.
1,200 meters! Carrying a body weighing 140 kilograms with the equipment on his back, the furious second-class soldier only rested once in the middle and ran. He even took the third-class soldier who had to go around due to the terrain but was already at full speed.
All the tanks were left behind.
If he hadn't heard Lieutenant Colonel Hatori standing in front of the main formation roar "Haga!", Captain Matsuda even had reason to believe that this guy, who had been running with his head down, could carry him to the alliance headquarters several kilometers away.
.
He is really going to die sooner or later! Second Lieutenant Matsuda was limping and wailing silently in his heart as he stood in front of the livid-faced Lieutenant Colonel, his head lowered and silent.
Even if he was considered "seriously injured", he was the first to be shot! The person who was the first to escape and the fastest was likely to be killed as a warning to others.
Seeing the Lieutenant Commander's army with machine guns set up behind him, Lieutenant Matsuda's face had not stopped sweating since he stood there.
The private who was paralyzed beside him and gasping for breath was not as nervous as he was. Anyway, for him, a small soldier, he not only followed the commander's order to retreat, but also saved the commander's life. Who can blame him? Besides,
If he doesn't rest, the flames in his already exhausted chest will burn him to ashes. If Shangguan doesn't do anything to him, he will die of exhaustion.
"You are all a disgrace to the Imperial Army of Japan, a disgrace to the 20th Division, and a disgrace to the 77th Infantry Regiment." After looking back and forth among the embarrassed soldiers for a few times, Yu looked extremely ugly.
Lieutenant Commander Bird shouted angrily.
First of all, it set the tone for this group of defeated soldiers.
Although they were dissatisfied with these three "shames" of His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, all the defeated soldiers could only lower their heads and listen. Before they received the retreat order from the main formation at the rear, they retreated, which was a violation of the military order.
"Baga, look at you, where are your helmets? Where are your rifles? The warriors of our 1st Infantry Battalion who have been marching forward on Chinese soil and never flinched, turned out to be nothing in front of the Chinese guns.
Are you a trembling chicken? Where is the pride of your Imperial Japanese Army? Have you all been thrown in front of the Chinese positions?" Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's saliva sprayed on Captain Hideta Ohinko and Captain Hideda Goninko who were standing upright at the front.
Lieutenant Matsuda's face.
The two of them could only endure it, although the smell of the saliva was no better than the smell of the "natural mines" planted by the Chinese on the battlefield.
"Look back and look behind you." Lieutenant Colonel Hatori pointed back with his white-gloved hand, "Look at the Chinese positions that have kept you from attacking for a long time and suffered heavy losses. When our artillery colleagues show off their power, they can only
To be able to tremble and cry under gunfire."
"You could have taken this opportunity to wash away your shame, wait at the front, attack the Chinese position after the artillery fire stopped, and restore the glory of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 77th Infantry Regiment. However, you let me down.
You are like a group of frightened chickens who fled 2,000 meters in one breath. You are cowards, a disgrace, and a disgrace to the empire." Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's roar, which could almost cover up the rumble of cannons, spread throughout the entire position.
Withdrawing his gaze from the infantry formation, he cast his gaze on the face of the Japanese captain who was silently suffering from his own saliva. The Japanese lieutenant colonel, whose eyes became increasingly sinister, slowly continued: "Hideta-kun, you can tell me now, what do you think?"
"Hi! Please calm down, Lieutenant Colonel. I will lead them to plant the general flag on the Chinese position again, wash away the previous shame, and use blood and life to safeguard the glory of our 1st Infantry Brigade." I called quietly.
Captain Hideta Ohrenko, who was excited and had his head lowered all the time, lowered his head again and loudly answered the questioning of his immediate superior.
Although it was against his own heart, Xiutian Wu Rengen had to say this, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to speak again.
He could already feel the murderous intent of Lieutenant Colonel Hatori. Even the rank of captain could not guarantee his safety at this time. If he gave a bad answer, he might be shot as a scapegoat by this cruel Lieutenant Colonel.
Being afraid of fighting and taking the initiative to retreat will lead to defeat in the battle. This reason alone is enough.
"Yo Xi! Mr. Shutian, this is the happiest promise I have heard after this lost battle. If all the imperial armies were as brave as you, Mr. Shutian, there would be no Imperial Army.
A position that cannot be conquered." Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's face softened slightly and he nodded slightly.
"Then, if I order you now to organize a desperate team to attack the Chinese positions, do you dare?"
"Hi, I will live up to the great trust of Lieutenant Colonel." The Japanese captain nodded, hiding the deep bitterness on his face.
No matter how brave you are, under such density of artillery fire, you will be blown into ashes!
"Don't worry, the moment the desperate team prepares to attack, the howitzer group will stop shelling. There should be no Chinese on the position. Once you attack the Chinese position, you must hold on to it, and the main force of our infantry will follow suit."
Feeling the despair of his subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Hatori explained. "Of course, if there are still Chinese on the position, I will give you the right to decide on the spot whether to retreat. The howitzer group will shell the Chinese position again."
"I don't believe that anyone can survive in such a position." Lieutenant Colonel Hatori looked at the thick smoke in the distance and said through gritted teeth.
This was Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's last adventure. He once again committed an offensive force of more than 40 people, and took advantage of the fact that the independent regiment's position, which had been bombarded by artillery and bombers for more than 20 minutes, suffered heavy casualties and was empty of troops, to attack the position.
Don't look at what he said about stopping the bombardment after the death squad arrived at the position, and also gave the death squad the right to retreat. However, the reason why it is called the death squad, it is definitely possible to die, is not what will happen after attacking the position, but what will happen after attacking the position.
before entering the attack position.
If you want to enter the position before the Chinese, you can only advance the attack position to at least 300 meters, and it is still unsafe there and shrouded in the smoke of artillery shells. Those who can enter the attack position alive may not even reach half of them.
.
However, the Japanese army's brainwashing was really powerful. Although everyone knew that the chance of death here was almost 80%, after Lieutenant Colonel Hatori's re-education about pride and shame, no more mobilization was needed. 160
Many people were defeated, and at least 70 people bravely took off their tattered military uniforms, went shirtless in the cold autumn wind, and asked to join the third wave of death squads.
What a fool! Second Lieutenant Matsuda lowered his head and silently complained about a bunch of mentally retarded colleagues. As long as he survives this, he will be transferred to the rear unit immediately accompanied by a beautiful and gentle female nurse who is accompanying the army.
He will be transferred to the team field hospital, and then transferred to the division hospital, and maybe he can even catch a ride back home.
Even if he becomes disabled as a result, it is still better than losing his life in this hellish Chinese battlefield.
However, against all odds, Captain Matsuda miscalculated this time. It was probably because there was someone around him who would "die sooner or later". In the cold command of Captain Hideta, Matsuda, who had lost half of his foot, was already considered a casualty.
The squad leader actually became the supreme commander of the desperate squad again.
The person in charge of his actions was "Sooner or Sooner", who was promoted to a private on the spot. He continued to carry Second Lieutenant Matsuda into the battlefield, who had difficulty moving but was retreating quickly.
The duo who won the first place in escaping from the Japanese army once again had white faces.
Hatori, Hideta, you two bastards are not going to die well. The two sneakers looked at each other sadly and cursed the two officers in anger at the same time in their hearts.
The two men on the runaway team all wore steel helmets and tragically led a group of "silly" men with "menstrual belts" on their heads and shirtless men again marching towards the battlefield.
Second Lieutenant Matsuda had silently decided in his heart that as long as he could survive the artillery fire, if there were any Chinese on the position, even if there was only one Chinese, he would retreat.
What is humiliation? Only living people can enjoy humiliation. At that time, whoever dares to force him to go to the battlefield will be killed by him with one shot.
Looking at the artillery fire in the distance, Lieutenant Matsuda's eyes were red as he lay on the back of "Sooner or Later".
It was illuminated red by the fireworks of the cannonballs.
