Chapter 1497 Before leaving, I have to throw a big stick
Originally, the victory of successfully occupying the Chinese position should be a good thing for the Japanese Army Major who had an indescribable expression on his face at this time.
In any case, he won. After spending more than 2 hours fighting, expending thousands of artillery shells, and killing hundreds of imperial warriors, he defeated the stubborn enemy and successfully completed the combat mission.
.
However, the Japanese Army Major did not feel the joy of victory at all.
Not to mention that this battle was somewhat different from his imagination of the imperial army singing triumphal songs all the way, meeting gods and killing gods, seeing Buddhas and destroying Buddhas, and being invincible. The concentration of dozens of cannons from the division and the strength of nearly two infantry brigades were also...
It was blocked for more than two hours.
What made this Army Major even more painful was that not only was he resisted for more than two hours, but he was also pushed to the ground and rubbed hard when he first waved his fists that he thought were invincible.
I became smart and started to wander around, looking for the enemy's weaknesses while accumulating strength. When I realized that my intelligence and combat power were at their peak, the enemy slipped away.
He ran away without saying a word.
Damn it, it's a complete joke that he thought about it for half a day.
Those Chinese people probably wanted to run away for a long time. After finally waiting for him to stop attacking one after another, they ran away with their broken guns. Some of them walked into the Chinese trenches surrounded by their subordinates.
The Japanese Army Major, who didn't even see a mouse, saw in front of his eyes a group of guys in bamboo hats running extremely fast with guns and bullet boxes.
He could even imagine seeing the faint smiles on the faces of those Chinese people.
Why are you laughing? Just laugh at him as an idiot! If he attacks forcefully, the Chinese will not be able to run away, they can only resist forcefully.
"Report to your Excellency, the division commander, that all Chinese positions have been occupied by our army, and there are still a small number of remnants of the enemy at large. Please extend the artillery fire of the Sixth Artillery Regiment." Masamori Kubo ordered with an extremely ugly face.
"Major, what should I do if the artillery regiment calls and asks for the direction of the bombardment?" an army lieutenant asked stupidly.
"Baga! Then tell them, all-round coverage, all-round coverage, do you understand?" Kubo Masamori couldn't help but became furious, and sprayed the lieutenant who asked the question in the face.
The officers around him quietly moved away from their commander who was obviously a bit of an "auntie" type, for fear of becoming his punching bag.
The artillerymen of the Sixth Artillery Regiment are naturally not as unwise as their major commander who is on the front line. Covering all directions? Is there a hole in your head? How can the resources of the empire be wasted like this? I wonder if the thousands of rounds of artillery shells fired just now are a waste
How much manpower and material resources did it take to transport it?
This kind of order is almost stupid in the eyes of the artillerymen, let alone a mere major, even if it is as valuable as a major general brigade commander, I am afraid they would dare to fight back.
The Japanese artillery did not waste artillery shells foolishly without a clear target, but after searching, the Japanese found traces of the 152nd Regiment's escape. They actually escaped along a long trench.
When the Japanese scout who chased along the trench for almost 1,000 meters and finally determined that the trench was extremely long, ran out of breath and reported to Kubo Masamori, Kubo Masamori was completely confused.
He didn't expect the Chinese to be so cunning. They had already planned their escape route well in advance. Even when they retreated, they didn't just run around in the wilderness, but dug a trench directly to the city.
"Chase, chase along the trenches. In order to prevent the cunning Chinese from ambush in the trenches, one squadron is in the trenches and two squadrons are outside the trenches. They pursue along the trenches. They bite them and wait for the main force to arrive.
You can't run fast with heavy weapons, injuries, and corpses." A trace of ferocity appeared on Kubo Masahori's face, and he immediately issued the order.
The Japanese Army Major really hated the opponent who beat him up and teased him. The Huangpu River was still six kilometers away from Songjiang City. If the march was fast enough, he should have time to take revenge.
There is a Chinese saying: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years." But he is not a gentleman. He would not wait ten years and wanted to take revenge tonight.
And the shortcomings of the Chinese army that he considered were absolutely correct. There was no mechanical marching, and they had to carry heavy equipment, and even the bodies of wounded soldiers and dead soldiers. It was strange that they could move so fast.
Of course, this person probably didn't consider that the 43rd Army's supply camp was waiting for a long time and was not a combat unit responsible for transporting the bodies of wounded soldiers and the dead.
However, the 152nd Regiment was not moving very fast, just as the Japanese Army Major had guessed.
The three Japanese infantry squadrons quickly gathered together. They did not carry heavy machine guns, but took light machine guns and grenade launchers and chased the escaping 152nd Regiment along the direction of the trench.
Less than 1.5 kilometers away from the Japanese army is the tail of the 152nd Regiment, which is also carrying a heavy machine gun. If they pursue it fast enough, they should be able to catch up in half an hour.
However, those who stayed behind were Lei Xiong's infantry company and a platoon of engineers. It wasn't that they didn't run fast enough, but that they were laying mines.
Originally, according to the idea of the engineers of the 43rd Army, they were to lay mines in the wilderness and trenches on the edge of the battlefield after everyone retreated. But Lei Xiong stopped them and continued to move forward for more than 1,200 meters before starting.
Organize everyone to lay infantry mines in the trenches.
In the wilderness 30 meters away from the trenches, many infantry mines have been randomly buried. Now the focus is on the trenches. With veterans like Lei Xiong providing ideas, the engineers have buried infantry mines in all kinds of ways, not only
At the bottom of the tunnel, even on the wall of the trench, two mines will be buried immediately. Those are the kind that will explode if you don't step on them, and there are also the kind of mines on the ground that will explode even if you don't step on them.
, the wires buried in the soil will also cause the mines on the pit wall to explode together, creating a chain mine.
If it's not enough to break off the legs, you may need to cut off the head.
What is even more insidious is that when a landmine explodes, more than a dozen landmines buried on the wall of a trench more than 20 meters explode together, which is called a grape chain mine. Just laying mines in a 200-meter trench takes a long time.
For more than half an hour, the heavy footsteps of the Japanese army were heard. Lei Xiongcai commanded everyone to retreat quietly. As he walked, he did not forget to dig the earth with a shovel in the east and a pickaxe in the west, and buried a mine.
.
Lei Xiong had no intention of fighting the Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards him. He just wanted to see the faces of the Japanese soldiers when they suddenly found out that he had stepped into a minefield.
That face must be snow-white.
When the first Japanese soldier accidentally stepped on an infantry mine and one of his thighs was blown up to the sky and he was lying in a pool of blood crying desperately, all the Japanese soldiers stood still in the trench.
Baga! There are even landmines. The Chinese people are so bad! The faces of the Japanese infantrymen who found themselves entering the minefield by mistake were completely white as snow. They did not dare to use the flashlight too arrogantly, so they could only cover the light of the flashlight.
Look for the shadows of possible mines on the ground bit by bit.
Of course, it’s not like the Japanese army is all crazy. Since there are mines in the trenches, there are none outside the trenches! Can’t they just climb out of the trenches?
The trench was 2 meters deep. For the Japanese soldiers with a normal height of 1.55 to 1.58, they had to jump up. So, a poor little devil happened to grab a hard object with one hand. Before he could figure out what was in his hand,
A stone or something.
A landmine exploded.
The terrible explosion not only made the devil's hands bald, but also sent him out of the trench. By coincidence, it happened to hit a landmine outside, and with another "bang", he was directly knocked out.
This one was silent.
But this scared all the Japanese outside the trenches and in the trenches, Baga! There are them everywhere?
In fact, there are only this section of mines outside the trenches. If you want to step on the mines in other sections outside the trenches, you have to go twenty or thirty meters away. In other words, in this wilderness, after this section, it is basically safe within ten meters of the trenches.
. But the Chinese soldiers who laid the mines knew it, but the Japanese didn’t!
Several more people stepped on landmines in succession, and one of them even stepped on one of them. Not only did his own legs get blown off, but several landmines exploded on the trench wall. After more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had their faces covered in blood, all the Japanese soldiers stood still.
Don't dare to move.
Not being afraid of death doesn't mean that you don't want to die, especially in such a dark night when you step on a landmine and get blown up.
The moment the message "All pursuing troops strayed into Chinese minefields" was delivered to Kubo Masamori's hands, the Japanese Army Major was as dumbfounded as a statue of clay.
In this battle, the Chinese really played him to death. He was rubbed and teased, and before leaving, they even threw a big stick at him and hit him hard.
More than 400 Japanese troops stood in and outside the trenches until dawn.
If the 43rd Army didn't have reconnaissance planes and couldn't see the spectacular sight of the four hundred Han-Buddhist warriors, we wouldn't have been able to hit them with a barrage of artillery shells. Not to mention destroying all these unlucky guys! We could also beat them and make them wander around like rabbits.
Channel.
There are artillery shells above your head and landmines under your feet. It is actually a good choice to run or not to run. That is to jump into the trench and wait for the mines to explode or the artillery shells to fall on your head. You will be bombed anyway.
Fortunately, China did not have reconnaissance planes. The Japanese soldiers who stood in the wilderness and trenches all night escaped the artillery bombardment that lingered in their minds for a long time, and waited for the rescue of Japanese engineers.
By the time they withdrew, twenty-five people had bled to death and more than forty people were seriously injured, including the engineers who were helping them with long mine detectors.
Demining will require heavy sacrifices in the next eighty years, let alone this era.
Kubo Masamori's face had turned into a pig's head, not from the 152nd Regiment who threw a big stick at him before leaving, but from Hisao Tani who was in a rage.
The "crackling" sound almost caught up with the explosion of a landmine.

ps: Yesterday, my daughter was scolded by her teacher, and no one sympathized with her. She was also treated by a bunch of spectators who were waiting for Feng Yue to look embarrassed, and she suffered severe psychological damage... The little girl did not commit any serious crime, she just photoshopped the teacher's photo into
The emoticon package was sent to the classmate group for everyone to adopt. The teacher was so angry that he vomited blood. I was about to be sprayed by a bunch of teachers...
