However, this is just a desperate struggle after all, and it cannot change the final outcome.
Adachi Kantoshi led more than fifty Japanese soldiers and rushed forward less than twenty meters before more than half of them fell down. The Chinese officers and soldiers who rushed from the north and south directions had also rushed in front of the young Japanese soldiers.
, the two sides immediately broke out into hand-to-hand combat, with the sound of bayonets clashing and the screams of the Japanese dying before their death.
In less than a moment, there were only two Japanese left around Adachi Kantoshi.
These two Japs are Adachi Kantoshi's guards. The only reason for them to live is to ensure the safety of Adachi Kantoshi. If Adachi Kantoshi has any good intentions, the two of them will definitely not survive. They looked at each other. These two
The Japanese screamed and rushed towards the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side with bayonets in hand!
However, what is the use of this almost suicidal attack?
As soon as the cold light flashed, the two Japanese soldiers fell under the bayonets of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side. Seeing that something was wrong, Adachi Kantoshi instinctively wanted to draw his gun. Unfortunately, before the old Japanese soldier could take out his pistol, Yue Zhensheng on the opposite side
He had already shot first, and a bloody hole the size of the head of a chopstick appeared on Adachi Kantoshi's brow, and he fell straight back.
Yue Zhensheng shot Adachi Kantoshi to death, looked around and shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers of the third company responded loudly, and then spread out to clean the battlefield. The purpose of cleaning the battlefield was not only to collect trophies from the Japs, but also to catch fish that slipped through the net. The Japs were known for their ferocity, but it was inevitable that they would try to use
Of course, such a devil who pretended to be dead and got away with it by luck cannot let them get what they want.
Soon, the officers and soldiers of the Third Company who were cleaning the battlefield discovered a Japanese soldier who was pretending to be dead.
Seeing the officers and soldiers of the Third Company approaching with shining bayonets, and stabbing anyone in the heart twice regardless of life or death as long as they were wearing Japanese military uniforms, the little devil thought that he would not be able to escape his fate, so he immediately jumped up and tried to escape.
!But in the dark and unfamiliar with the terrain, I fell to the ground after only two steps.
By the time the unlucky little Jaap got up again, the officers and soldiers of the Third Company had already caught up with him. The two veterans, with their bayonets drawn, struck the Japs in the heart and abdomen with two slashing blows. The Japs immediately started whimpering.
With a sound, he twitched and fell into a pool of blood. After a while, there was no more sound.
The third company commander Yue Zhensheng also caught up and stepped on the Japanese soldier's neck. With a crack, the young Japanese soldier's neck bone was completely broken. This time, even if the young Japanese soldier did not die from the bayonet, he was still crushed.
If you break the neck bone, you will definitely die!
Yue Zhensheng raised his head again and shouted: "Brothers, keep your eyes open for me, don't let a Japanese escape the net! Since these bastards dare to step into China with weapons, let them never come back."
!”
While we were cleaning the battlefield, countless bright car lights and flashlights suddenly lit up on the west bank of the Sitang River!
"Company Commander!" A veteran shouted immediately, "The Japs' reinforcements have arrived! The Japs' reinforcements have arrived!"
"I saw it, don't panic!" Yue Zhensheng said, "We have killed all the Japanese on the east bank of the Sitang River, so the Japanese on the west bank have no motive. We just need to hold our position!" After a pause,
Yue Zhensheng added, "Order, the first platoon immediately enters the position, the second platoon, and the third platoon continue to clean the battlefield."
Yue Zhensheng's guess was correct. Ten minutes later, the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 26th Infantry Regiment, which came for reinforcements, arrived on the west bank of the Sitang River. However, by this time, the battle on the other side of the river had already ended.
After this point, the 26th Infantry Regiment immediately gave up the rescue and withdrew again.
(Dividing line)
While retreating, the 26th Infantry Regiment also reported the news to the division headquarters.
"Nani?!" After receiving the report from the 26th Regiment, Kunisaki Noboru couldn't believe his ears. He stared straight at Suzuki Keiji, the chief of staff of the 7th Division, and asked in a hissing voice,
"You just said that by the time the 26th Infantry Regiment arrived on the west bank of the Sitang River, the battle on the east bank would have been over?"
"Hai!" Suzuki Keiji nodded seriously and said, "That's it."
"Baga!" Noboru Kunisaki said in disbelief, "In other words, the two infantry brigades that crossed the Sitang River yesterday evening have been completely wiped out? The two most elite infantry brigades, with more than 2,200 soldiers.
All the brave warriors of the imperial army were wiped out? In less than half an hour, the two most elite infantry brigades were completely wiped out?"
"Hai!" Suzuki Keiji paused again and said, "Division Commander, this is the fact."
"Baga, how is this possible? How is this possible?" Noboru Kunisaki still couldn't accept such a cruel fact. He shook his head and screamed in his sleep, "In half an hour, our two most elite infantry brigades were wiped out.
, No, no, this can never be true, not to mention the more than two thousand imperial army warriors, even if there are more than two thousand pigs, it is impossible for the Chinese army to catch them all in half an hour, right?"
Suzuki Keiji said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, this result is indeed shocking, but the facts are facts. When the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 26th Infantry Regiment arrived on the west bank of the Sitang River, the battle on the east bank had indeed ended.
When it ends, the Chinese Army has even begun to clean up the battlefield, so just accept this reality."
"Baga!" Noboru Kunizaki punched the table hard, and with a bang, the broken board table that he found from nowhere immediately fell apart. Teacups, lunch boxes and documents were placed on the table.
It was scattered all over the floor, and an orderly tried to clean it up, but was kicked to the ground by Noboru Kunisaki.
Kunizaki Noboru's rage was not without reason.
Because this time, Itagaki Seishiro did not choose the Guards Division with more troops and stronger combat effectiveness to focus on Baoshan and Wusong Fort. Instead, he chose the 7th Division with relatively fewer troops, relatively poor equipment, and relatively poor combat effectiveness to focus on the attack.
, this move caused great dissatisfaction among the more than 40,000 officers and soldiers of the Guards Division.
The division commander of the Guards Division, Iida Sadagu, even said strange things behind his back, saying that the 7th Division could not bear the heavy responsibility of the main attack, and only their Guards Division could bear such a heavy task! Kunisaki Noboru heard this
After the explanation, he was very angry, but he did not go to Iida Sadagu for his theory. Instead, he secretly became fierce and wanted to win a beautiful victory at Baoshan and Wusong Fort. He wanted to slap this idiot Iida Sadagu with hard facts.
slap in the face.
However, the results of the first battle in Baoshan County seemed to prove that Iida Sadagu's conclusion was actually right. Their 7th Division seemed to be really unable to shoulder such a heavy task as the main attack! Thinking of this, the anger in Kunisaki's chest became even more intense.
Brutally, he immediately pulled out the saber on the case with his backhand and cut the entire field tent into strips with a few swipes.
(Dividing line)
Almost at the same time, Wu Liang also reported the good news to the regiment headquarters.
Unlike Kunizaki Noboru who was furious, Xu Rui was overjoyed after hearing the news.
"What did you say?" Xu Rui also couldn't believe it. He looked at Liu Mei with warm eyes and asked, "Old Ye, what did you just say? The gunfire in the direction of Baoshan County just now was the Second Battalion carrying out a night attack? And at night
The effect of the attack was beyond imagination, wiping out the two infantry brigades that crossed the river yesterday?"
"What are you doing? Lao Xu, what are you doing?" Wang Husheng stood in front of Liu Mei in an exaggerated manner and scolded with a smile, "This is my wife and your sister-in-law. You are not allowed to use any crooked ideas, otherwise I will never be done with you."
"You're going to die." Liu Mei was ashamed and angry, so she punched Wang Husheng in the chest.
"You're going to die!" Xu Rui pushed Wang Husheng away and asked Liu Mei, "Old Ye, is it true?"
"How can I still joke with you about this?" Liu Mei rolled her eyes at Xu Rui and said angrily, "If you don't believe it, send a telegram to the Second Battalion to make sure again."
"No, no, no, I believe you." Xu Rui quickly waved his hand.
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui looked up to the sky and laughed again, with indescribable joy in his laughter.
At this moment, Xu Rui was in a really good mood, because the second battalion's night attack had nothing to do with the regiment. This night attack was planned from beginning to end by the second battalion commander Wu Liang, and then also by Wu Liang.
commanded, this illustrates the fact that Wu Liang is fully capable of independently commanding operations, and is fully capable of commanding and fighting well!
Wu Liang can do it, but what about Shi Changqing? What about Ding Wenbao? The other battalion commanders must also be able to do it!
A common saying about the national army is that it has first-rate soldiers, second-rate officers, third-rate commanders and an inferior supreme commander.
The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan, these large-scale battles also proved that this statement is correct. The soldiers of the national army are indeed excellent, the quality of the officers is indeed unsatisfactory, and the command of senior generals is indeed poor, as well as Jiang
The Chairman of the Generalissimo, the supreme commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, is flattering him even if he is not popular.
If this statement is completely followed, national army officers like Wu Liang are barely competent as grassroots officers. However, once they are promoted to generals and begin to command battles independently, the results will often be very bad. But what happened on the Baoshan battlefield this time
The second night attack seemed to break this conclusion!
Facts have proved that National Army officers such as Wu Liang who grew up in the war are actually qualified for higher-level command positions! This discovery really surprised Xu Rui. Originally, he was worried about Songhu.
The company commanders of these battalions of the independent regiment were quite worried about their commanding abilities, and they were also thinking about transferring a group of cadres from Dameishan.
However, it now seems that this worry is completely unnecessary. Battalion commanders such as Wu Liang are fully qualified for their current positions, and they are fully capable of fulfilling their responsibilities! So for Xu Rui, it can be called an accident.
He was so happy! He was even happier than one guy destroying two Japanese infantry brigades!
