Kyosuke Sanjo stood at the front observation post and witnessed the scene of four tanks and a squadron of Japanese being killed from beginning to end. His facial muscles began to twitch when he saw the four tanks being destroyed one after another and turned into four balls of flames.
He got up, and then, when he saw more than a hundred Japanese being thrown to the ground, he twitched so much that his facial muscles were deformed.
Baga, four Type 95 light tanks worth tens of thousands of yen, and an entire squadron of infantry, disappeared like this in less than fifteen minutes? If they were lost at this rate, their entire Guards
How long can the First Infantry Regiment hold on? Sanjo Kyosuke suddenly realized that this would be an unprecedented fierce battle!
However, this little devil is indeed fierce. Although the situation is difficult, he is not intimidated and does not flinch.
The defenders have strong bunker fortifications, and then using infantry to charge would cause too many casualties. Therefore, artillery must be used first, using the direct fire of combat artillery to kill the defenders' bunkers first, and then use field howitzers to attack the defensive positions.
The defenders above carried out a large number of casualties, and finally dispatched tanks to lead the infantry to attack.
It just so happens that the 1st Infantry Guards Battalion has an independent combat artillery squad.
At that moment, Sanjo Kyosuke turned around and shouted: "Order, the independent combat artillery squad comes close to shoot!"
"Hai!" the ordering soldier said loudly, turned around and hurried out of the forward observation post to convey the order.
After a while, a group of Japanese artillerymen came up with two combat anti-tank guns, and they were 57mm caliber combat anti-tank guns, because the main gun caliber of the Type 95 light tank was 37mm, but the final facts proved that they could not destroy the enemy at all.
It is a military bunker, so we can only place our hope on the 57mm caliber anti-tank gun.
The two anti-tank guns were pushed a thousand meters away from the defenders' bunker and stopped moving forward.
At this time, the Kwantung Army had also been equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, and it also posed a serious threat to the armored clusters of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East Battle. Therefore, the little devil is no stranger to rocket launchers. Within two hundred meters, rocket launchers can easily destroy today's armored groups.
Any armored target in the world, but 500 meters away, the rocket launcher is immediately powerless, because the effective range of the rocket launcher is only 500 meters.
Therefore, the Japanese's two combat anti-cannons were stuck at a distance of one thousand meters. At this distance, the combat anti-cannons could ensure sufficient hit rate and lethality, but the defenders' rocket launchers could not threaten them. This is
Said that at this distance, the defender's bunker could only be beaten without the slightest ability to fight back.
This is indeed the case. After discovering the two Japanese anti-tank guns, the bunker defenders immediately realized the danger and immediately concentrated a dozen heavy machine guns in an attempt to implement counterfire. But it was of no use. At a distance of one thousand meters,
The ballistic dispersion area of heavy machine guns is also unimaginably large, and the hit rate is pitifully low.
What's more, the two anti-tank guns also had shields, so the defenders were even more powerless.
However, as the saying goes? The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
Sanjo Kyosuke had great expectations for these two 57mm caliber combat anti-cannons, but the final actual combat results made him extremely disappointed.
The two combat defense cannons fired ten rounds, but they couldn't even destroy a bunker. In fact, using the word "destroy" is a bit inappropriate. The two combat defense cannons fired ten rounds, but they couldn't even destroy a bunker.
It couldn't be damaged, even if it blasted a hole in the front wall, it couldn't be done!
When the smoke cleared, Sanjo Kyosuke held up the binoculars and looked at the intact bunker in the field of vision ahead. He couldn't believe his eyes. Baga? He was actually unscathed? How is it possible? So the little devil closed his eyes hard.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again and looking straight ahead.
The brat Kyousuke Sanjo thought he was blinded.
However, this was not an illusion. The bunker ahead, which withstood ten direct rounds of 57mm anti-aircraft artillery shells, was actually unscathed! Due to excessive shock, Sanjo Kyosuke even started to tremble with his hands holding the telescope.
, there are even blue veins protruding on the back of the hand, as if they were covered with earthworms.
The situation suddenly reached a stalemate, and it was time to test the Japanese's adaptability.
"Your Majesty Colonel!" Kondo Hiroki, the squadron leader of the 1st Infantry Squadron, walked quickly to Sanjo Kyosuke and said, "The attack of the Independent War Artillery Squadron cannot destroy the defender's bunker at all. I suggest you postpone the attack and request
Tactical guidance from aviation or naval artillery groups, it will not be too late to attack after destroying the defenders' bunker group."
"Hagagaru!" Sanjo Kyousuke was furious when he heard this. He slapped Hiroki Kondo in the face, and then cursed, "Without the guidance of the aviation and navy, wouldn't we have fought? Think about the Russo-Japanese War.
The fortifications built by the Russians in Lushun were even worse than the Wusong Fort in front of us, and weren't they also captured by the imperial army in the end?"
After a pause, Sanjo Kyousuke shouted sternly: "In the face of the bushido spirit of the imperial army, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, and there is no fortress that cannot be breached. Do you understand?"
"Hai!" Hiroki Kondo paused heavily and said, "I understand your humble position!"
Does it make any difference whether you understand or not? The first level of official rank is crushing to death!
"Yoshi!" Sanjo Kyosuke nodded happily and said, "Then let's start the attack, Kondo-kun. I believe your 1st Infantry Squadron will do better than the 4th Infantry Squadron. Oh, by the way, remember to let the warriors
Bring more explosive packs! In addition, I will ask the tank squadron to send another detachment to cover your attack and send you as far as possible to the garrison bunker."
"Hai, we must bring more explosives!" Hiroki Kondo gave a serious sigh, turned around and walked away.
Not a moment later, four more Type 95 light tanks appeared in front of the Wusong Fortress, once again leading a squadron of about two hundred Japs to rush over aggressively. This time, in order to cooperate with the infantry attack, the Japs provided support.
The artillery also fired desperately. Six Type 92 infantry cannons and more than 20 grenades kept firing artillery shells at the defenders' positions, and smoke grenades were fired to cover the infantry advance as much as possible.
.
Unfortunately, all this was of no use. When they were still two hundred meters away from Bunker No. 13, the defenders opened fire!
This time, the defenders' counterattack was ahead of schedule. Before the enemy could reach a distance of fifty meters, they fired in advance! Four rockets roared over, two of them missed, and two of them hit accurately.
There were two violent explosions. One of the tanks had its tracks broken off and broke down on the spot. The other tank was hit by a fuel tank and turned into a fireball.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen forward-firing machine guns from more than a dozen bunkers opened fire at the same time. The hot bullets poured over like dense raindrops, hitting the armor of the lead tank with a clanging sound! From time to time, there were people hiding behind the tanks.
The Japanese infantrymen were hit and fell to the ground screaming. As the distance approached, the Japanese casualties increased sharply.
When they rushed to a distance of 100 meters, the remaining two tanks were also destroyed.
There is no other way. The little devil can only rely on his flesh and blood to carry the explosive pack and continue to rush forward. But unfortunately, the terrain here is seriously unfavorable to the attackers, because there is almost no cover directly in front of the Wusong Fortress.
There was no cover in the open space, and there wasn't even a small raised dirt bag. The Japanese couldn't find any cover at all.
It's useless to crawl forward, because the defender's bunker is located high up, and there is still no blind spot for shooting!
So the result was very tragic. After fifteen minutes, all the more than 200 Japanese who launched the attack were shot dead, and not one of them even managed to escape alive!
Sanjo Kyousuke's eyes immediately turned red.
This little devil was born into the prominent Sanjo family. From a young age, he almost always responded to requests and rarely faced setbacks, so he developed his arrogant temper. After coming to the Chinese battlefield, this little devil's temper did not change at all.
So he couldn't accept the current situation. The proud First Infantry Regiment couldn't take down the small Wusong Fort?
Sanjo Kyosuke was impatient. He was no longer in the mood to attack with another squadron. He gathered the remaining 2nd Infantry Squadron, the 3rd Infantry Squadron and all the personnel from the brigade headquarters and formed a temporary formation.
A death squad of more than 500 people was formed, and this little devil was ready to charge to the death!
So what if your defenders have bunkers? Our Imperial Army has the spirit of Bushido!
So what if your defenders have rocket launchers? Our Imperial Army has the spirit of Bushido!
So what if your defenders have dense and brutal machine gun firepower? Our Imperial Army has the spirit of Bushido!
The spirit of Bushido is omnipotent. There is no difficulty in this world that can stump the spirit of Bushido!
Not only that, Sanjo Kyosuke, the little devil, also took off his military uniform and went shirtless. He also asked his orderly to tie a five-pound bag of explosives to his back, his adjutant and several orderlies.
, and the squadron leaders of each squadron, as well as the squad leaders below, also have similar schools, and they all have explosive bags tied to their bodies.
It must be admitted that the little devil's bushido spirit is indeed very fanatical.
After the death squad was formed, Sanjo Kyosuke drew his saber with his backhand and shouted: "Warriors, don't forget our identities. We are soldiers of the First Guards Infantry Battalion of the Imperial Japanese Army! We are the Emperor's Guards.
The face of the Imperial Army, and now, the time has come for us to sacrifice our lives for the Empire of Japan and to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. The Empire is on board, and His Majesty the Emperor is on board!"
"The Empire of Japan is onboard!"
"The Imperial Japanese Army is onboard!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, onboard!"
More than five hundred Japanese soldiers cheered in unison.
Sanjo Kyosuke turned around again, pressed the saber in his hand towards the front of Wusong Fort, and howled: "Assault, the whole army assault, the whole army assault, the whole army assault..."
