What Chen Yunfa said about "trying the Japanese" was very simple. There was no need to take people up to Suzhou Bridge. Instead, he ordered two people from his team to sneak out of the warehouse at night, sneak out more than 100 meters in the dark, and look towards the left and right wings.
Two illumination bombs were fired each 300 meters from the front of the seemingly dark Japanese position.
Yes, the searchlights on the left and right wings of the Japanese army did not illuminate the area of more than 200 meters on both sides as white as on the frontal battlefield. Perhaps because of the narrow terrain, the searchlights set up by the Japanese army in the building only illuminated the area between the two armies.
An area less than fifty meters.
But when the flare slowly fell from the sky and illuminated all the darkness about 400 meters away from the Sihang Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan took a breath and was filled with shock and anger!
Good guy, the Japanese are so restless and kind! They used night time to establish a complete machine gun position about 400 meters away from the Sixing Warehouse. Yes, in the telescope, heavy machine guns were placed in the fortifications.
The mouth is facing the Sihang Warehouse. To be precise, it is facing behind the Sihang Warehouse.
Because less than 30 meters away from Sihang Warehouse is the Suzhou River Bridge, which is the only road from Sihang Warehouse to the concession.
Xie Jinyuan believed that as long as he assembled a battalion of officers and soldiers to go to the concession from Suzhou River Bridge as mentioned in the information provided by the visitor, the two heavy machine gun positions established by the Japanese troops on the left and right flanks who spent huge efforts to lurk to a distance of 400 meters would definitely be
Shooting brazenly.
Caught off guard, the Suzhou River Bridge, which was only dozens of meters wide, must have been washed with blood. The losses were even greater than the three days of hard fighting with the Japs.
Yes, in the past, Wakiitajiro betrayed his trust and used light and heavy machine guns to block the bridge while Xie Jinyuan was retreating. This eventually resulted in more than 20 casualties. Yun Biao, the deputy commander of the company, was also injured in this battle.
Seriously injured.
And in this time and space, Jiro Wakita hated this army far more than before. After three days of fighting, his infantry regiment was almost turned into an infantry brigade by the Chinese defenders. Who could stand it!
Starting from 11 o'clock in the evening, he dispatched all the heavy machine gun squadrons of the two infantry brigades, and gathered two heavy machine gun positions in the darkness 400 meters away, with a total of 18 heavy machine guns. It was almost two infantry brigades except the infantry.
All heavy firepower except artillery.
In fact, not only heavy machine guns, this person even prepared nearly 20 grenades, which were intended to attack the 60-70 meters road from Sihang Warehouse to the concession with covering firepower. That is to say, the infantry artillery could not
It's too easy to control, and if it's not right, it will explode into the concession. Otherwise, Wakibajiro will definitely send out infantry artillery to attack.
He really hated the Chinese defenders to the core.
Moreover, Jiro Wakibata's wishful thinking was ringing, and he planned to continue to study and apply the "half-crossing attack" in the ancient Chinese military art master Sun Tzu's Art of War, which means to patiently let go of the troops passing in front and wait until the Chinese defenders retreat to
Attack again almost halfway through.
He didn't mean to let go of at least half of the Chinese defenders. He was waiting for the Chinese to remove all heavy weapons that threatened the heavy machine gun positions, and waited until the Chinese were at their weakest defense before launching an attack. Not only could
In one fell swoop, the Chinese were struck with heavy casualties, while also preventing their own side from being attacked.
The abacus is wonderful.
But Jiro Wakita did not expect that his eyes would turn green. He did not wait for the Chinese figures to appear on the Suzhou River Bridge. Instead, he waited for the sudden flares from the Chinese.
"Baga! Not good!" Wakiitajiro felt a sudden chill in his vest.
The heavy machine gun position was exposed like this. If it had been left alone, it would not be terrible, but if it appeared like this in front of the Chinese with mortars, it seems that it would not be a good thing.
It has to be said that Wakiitajiro is indeed a battle-hardened army commander, and his predictions are very accurate.
It's true that he hates his crow's mouth a little bit.
He had just shouted. In the Sihang Warehouse Building 400 meters across the way, Xie Jinyuan, with a face as cold as frost, gave the order, "Fire!"
Yes, after Chen Yunfa said to give it a try, the moment the two special forces left the Sihang Warehouse and sneaked towards the Japanese position, ten of the fourteen mortars had been carried to the roof by the soldiers of the machine gun company.
, each cannon carried fifteen shells, and they must be empty within one minute. Otherwise, the Japanese mountain artillery retaliation will follow.
They are dancing on the edge of death, but at the same time, they have become the god of death first.
For the Japanese troops who were suddenly exposed to heavy machine gun positions under flares.
Since they had to shoot at the Suzhou River Bridge and the bullets could not be fired into the Western Concession, the Japanese heavy machine gunners also racked their brains. The heavy machine guns were mainly placed not far from the river.
But it was actually a street, a small street next to the river, with no houses as shelter. All the fortifications were built with sandbags that the Japanese machine gunners and ammunition crews had worked hard to carry from a distance.
Of course, since two opposing heavy machine gun positions are shooting face to face, even though the two are more than 800 meters apart, the range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun can be as high as 1,000 meters. Even stray bullets that lose their straight trajectory are extremely lethal.
It's powerful. Heavy machine gun bullets don't have any friend or foe identification system. If they are fired by our own people, they will not hurt our own people. If two heavy machine gun positions shoot at each other like this and kill one of our own people, then the 36th Infantry
Not only will the regiment become the biggest joke in the Sino-Japanese War, the entire Imperial Army will become the biggest joke in the history of war.
Therefore, before the two machine gun positions were set up, the firing angles were slightly adjusted, trying to make the firing angles of the two positions not exactly opposite to each other, and forming an angle with the Suzhou River Bridge as the intersection. Although there may still be shooting
The empty warheads would fall into the concessions, but Jiro Wakita, who had already obtained the benefits he wanted by oppressing the Western concessions, no longer cared about that much at the moment.
Obviously, the Western Concession will not fall out with the Japanese just because a few warheads fall on the concession, but the Japanese heavy machine gun positions that are used to achieve the purpose of attack do not have much strong defense. Those sandbag fortifications are not too thin.
Maybe it's possible to block a heavy machine gun or even a machine gun, but for mortar shells falling from the sky, it's really...
The 18-year-old girl who was as fragile as taking off all her clothes faced a group of villains with tattoos of a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, and a red wolf holding a pan in the middle. She could only be pressed down and rubbed without any resistance.
, was ravaged.
The gunners of the machine gun company were very fair. There were five guns on each side, and the firing angle had been adjusted long ago. When Xie Jinyuan gave the order, they fired at the Japanese heavy machine gun position as if it were daylight. Within a minute
, firing 75 rounds on each side.
The gunners didn't even look at the results of their shelling. A group of people swarmed up and ran away carrying dozens of kilograms of mortars.
In fact, they couldn't see it. The illumination time of the flares was only 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, everything was covered in darkness again, except for the firelight from the exploding mortar shells.
Colonel Wakiitajiro is about to cry again.
Not only was the heavy machine gun position attacked by Chinese mortars, and he could tell without even looking that he must have suffered heavy losses, but he was deceived by the despicable Chinese. Damn it! Didn’t they agree to withdraw troops from the concession early this morning?
Really? I have all my machine guns ready. What do you do for me? A pile of cannonballs to greet me?
Yes, in Colonel Wakiitajiro's mind, he was deceived by China's senior officials. Isn't this a great shame and humiliation?
"China people! What a despicable nation, they don't keep their promises at all!" Jiro Wakita looked at the lively heavy machine gun emplacement not far away in silence, his big teeth almost shattered.
At this time, the Japanese army commander never thought that it was because of his despicableness and unkept promises that his subordinates were bombarded. The phrase "fire backs like to blame society" is used to describe this chicken thief who always likes to lose rice.
The Japanese colonel was a perfect fit.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we have received a call from the artillery squadron directly under the wing. Do you want to use artillery fire to suppress the Chinese people?" Takeo Kitajima looked pityingly at his superior, whose eyes were as red and bloodshot as those of a trapped animal, and asked.
It’s impossible not to pity him! Lieutenant Colonel Kitajima Takeo felt that his commander was already extremely tough. If it were him, he would still be able to stand so strong after suffering such painful blows one after another.
Swearing in the headquarters? I'm afraid I've already slashed my belly twice with the command knife to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
By the way, why hasn't this guy had a caesarean section yet? The entire team has been completely wiped out by him.
"Asshole, do you still need to ask for instructions?" Jiro Wakita yelled with a livid face. "Let them fire immediately."
Wakiitajiro didn't even look back at his subordinate's face. He was afraid that he would cut the guy with a knife before he made two cuts in his stomach.
The heartfelt compliments last night were like slaps on his face one after another. If the Chinese continued to abuse him like this, they would kill him as an army commander just by being slapped in the face.
"Kitajima-kun, give me the headquarters of the Power Generation Division. Our 36th Infantry Regiment is in urgent need of two 120mm cannons for support!" Jiro Wakibata looked at his own heavy machine gun position where the sound of artillery had stopped but was full of wailing sounds, and his cold voice was cold.
The gap between the teeth is revealed.
"But, your Excellency, Captain, the 120mm cannon is a heavy artillery. If it fails..." Takeo Kitajima was startled.
This is an approach that will kill fellow Taoists as well as poor Taoists!
Kitajima Takao now knows very well why the Western Concession relented as soon as it was threatened by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is not to say that he is just worried about heavy artillery falling into the concession and causing casualties, but that it is not too far from the Sixing Warehouse, that is, 800 meters.
There are two large natural gas storage tanks on the left and right. Once those things are hit and detonated by heavy artillery, at least a quarter of the concession will be blown into the sky. If that happens, the division commander may be fine afterwards. He
This wing deputy and this wing captain, who is obviously a little crazy, are about to take the blame.
"Those high-minded Westerners take themselves too seriously. If you don't give them some color, they won't put pressure on the despicable Chinese people. The purpose of me bringing in two heavy cannons is to give them a good look."
Look, the Imperial Army will not compromise with the despicable Chinese people, and the same goes for them." Jiro Wakita's face looked gloomy in the dim light, like a cuckolded devil.
"What if they still don't get what we want?"
"Kei Dao-kun, what do you think?"
Kitajima Takeo's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he said no more.
His boss was really driven crazy by the Chinese people.
