The battalion, the guerrillas and the broken troops of the Northeast Army strictly abided by Xu Rui's prohibition. None of them pursued the river beach without permission, but just stayed on the shore and shot from a distance with their guns.
After paying the price of more than half of the casualties, the remaining Japanese soldiers finally escaped to the depths of the river beach. However, once they got here, they could not go any further because the waterline was the waterline. It was so cold and so wide.
Even if you can swim in the river, you will definitely freeze to death in the river. There will be absolutely no exceptions.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, dozens of Japanese who knew how to swim chose to take the risk and swim across.
However, the result was extremely tragic. These dozens of Japanese soldiers only swam forward less than fifty meters before they sank into the river and were no longer visible.
Swimming across the Yangtze River on such a cold day is not only a physical challenge, but also requires facing the rapid loss of heat. When the heat loss reaches a certain level, the body temperature will drop. Even if the body temperature drops by only half a degree, it will cause
Tragedy, ranging from cramps to loss of consciousness, but the result is the same.
Whether it's cramps or coma, the result is death
The remaining Japs no longer dared to take risks and could only wait or run up and down the waterline.
The only good thing is that the distance between them and the squadron has widened, and their hit rate has seriously dropped.
The hit rate of battalion officers and soldiers, guerrillas and remnants of the Northeast Army has indeed dropped seriously. After all, not everyone is a sharpshooter, who can easily hit a target five hundred meters away like Xu Rui and veterans, or even hit a thousand and fifty meters.
After all, there are only a few snipers who can target a hundred meters away.
Li Hai fired three times, but the Japanese soldier eight hundred meters away never fell down.
Li Hai put away his rifle and shouted to Heipi who was enjoying the fight not far away: "Heipi, stop fighting. Your sister's shooting skills are worse than mine. It's just a waste of bullets. Hurry up and bring a few people with you."
Go to the pier and see what can be used and move it away quickly. If you can't use it or can't take it with you, everything will be burned."
The Chongteng detachment not only has the more than a thousand Japanese who stayed in Jiangbei, but also a large army of Japanese who have crossed the river.
Now that the Japanese have suffered such a big loss, how can they give up? It is completely foreseeable that the angry Japanese will definitely launch a large-scale counterattack to Jiangbei, so the top priority is to abandon the Chongteng detachment on the dock as soon as possible.
All technical equipment was moved away, and anything that could not be moved was burned.
But Heipi didn't seem to hear it. He turned a blind eye and aimed at a Japanese soldier eight hundred meters away.
I don't know if the Japanese was frightened or just stupid. He actually sat down cross-legged on the river beach, then clasped his hands together and started praying. Heipi felt a burst of disdain in his heart, "Mother Diulei, you little Taiwanese devil is here."
There have been so many murders in the mainland, and only if Mazu protects you will you be a ghost.
Thinking to himself, Hei Pi gently pulled the trigger.
The jujube gun butt resting on Heipi's shoulder trembled slightly, and a bullet whirled out from the muzzle at high speed, flying over eight hundred meters in an instant. However, it was very regrettable that...
However, the bullet grazed the Taiwanese Japs' ears and flew past. The Taiwanese Japs heard the screams ringing in his ears and began to pray more vigorously.
Heipi did not believe in evil, so he fired two more shots, but still failed to hit the target.
"I lost it." Heipi cursed, but when he pulled the trigger again, there was only a click.
Heipi was still unwilling to give in, and reached out to take out bullets from the bullet slot, but was stopped by Li Hai.
Li Hai came over in two steps, slapped Heipi on the back of the head, and cursed: "You bastard, you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears. Hurry up and take people to move the equipment. Burn the ones that can't be moved. The little Japs are going to counterattack."
.”
Heipi then put away his gun, cursed and left with dozens of remaining soldiers.
Dividing line
Chiaki Shigeto kept holding the telescope in his hand, which had not changed for a long time.
Through the field of view of the telescope, Chiaki Shigeto can clearly see everything that is happening in Jiangbei. They can see the collapse of the Japanese army, the capsizing of the armed merchant ship, the panicked Japanese army jumping into the river beach, and the scene of the panicked Japanese army jumping into the river beach.
You can also see the scene where the Japanese soldiers trapped in the river beach were shot one by one by the Chinese.
Oda Nobuyoshi also saw such a scene through the telescope, and his eyes were as wide as a bull's eye.
Oda Nobuyoshi could not imagine that the Imperial Japanese Army would have such a day, that they would be driven into the river and slaughtered by the squadron like chickens and dogs.
Although the people being massacred in Jiangbei at the moment were all technical arms of various directly affiliated units and not his soldiers, they were soldiers of the Chongteng detachment anyway. The soldiers of the Chongteng detachment were wantonly massacred by the squadron. He, Oda Nobuyoshi, was a Taiwanese infantryman.
The captain of the second regiment has a shameless face no matter what.
Shame, this is the shame of the entire Taiwan garrison
Oda Nobuyoshi only felt ashamed, but Shigeto Chiaki was already dejected.
Every time a gunshot rang out, and every Taiwanese soldier fell, Shigeto Chiaki's heart would be violently tugged.
Because what fell with these Taiwanese soldiers was his honor, reputation and even military career.
Yes, Chiaki Shigeto's military career is likely to come to an end after today. No, it is not possible, but certain. In fact, from this moment on, his military career has already entered a countdown.
As a detachment leader, as a senior general of the empire, with tens of thousands of elite troops, he was actually fooled around by a few hundred Chinese remnants. Even if the newly appointed commander of the front army, General Shan Shanyuan, spared him, the military headquarters
The bureaucrats and the royal family were afraid that they would not be able to spare him, and he himself had no shame in staying in the Taiwan Brigade any longer.
Thinking of this, Shigeto Chiaki was so heartbroken.
As a soldier, this can be said to be the best era
Seeing that the empire was about to conquer China, he had to stay away from the army.
Shigedo Chiaki's facial muscles twitched violently, and his heart was full of unwillingness. He was really unwilling to leave the army like this, and he was really unwilling to miss the opportunity to conquer China. This was a grand ceremony that the empire had not seen in thousands of years.
Maybe I will never have such a good opportunity again in my lifetime.
While Shigeto Chiaki was feeling dejected, several huge explosions suddenly came from Jiangbei.
Shigeto Chiaki was startled by the huge explosion. When he looked up quickly, he saw huge clouds of smoke rising from Jiangbei Pier, and the cannons, radios, engineer shovels and medical equipment that were originally piled on the pier.
All the technical equipment had been swallowed up by this huge cloud of smoke.
The Chinese are setting fire to their technical equipment
"Baga, Bage Yalu" Shigeto Chiaki roared again in anger.
Shigeto Chiaki suddenly realized that what he was facing now was not only the end of retirement, but even his life and fortune were in danger.
Yes, even Chiaki Shigeto's life and fortune are now in danger.
Because at this moment, almost all the technical equipment of the Shigeto detachment is still in Jiangbei. Once these technical equipment are lost, Shigeto Chiaki, even as a major general, can only commit seppuku.
Japan is an island country. In addition to having a population of 80 million, Japan is extremely short of all kinds of natural resources.
Because of the shortage of resources, there has been an almost abnormal emphasis on technical equipment in the military.
Among these regulations, there is one such one: technical arms must coexist with technical equipment.
In other words, once technical equipment is lost, the technical soldiers who operate it must commit suicide.
There has been such a real case in history. A mopping up force of the North China Front Army lost a Type 92 infantry gun. As a result, the entire artillery team was so desperate that they paid a lot of money to buy it from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army severely rejected it.
Afterwards, dozens of people in the entire artillery squad committed hara-kiri.
Although Chiaki Shigeto is not a technical soldier, he is the commander of the Shigeto detachment.
If there were only one or two artillery pieces, or one or two military radios, it wouldn't be a big problem. Chiaki Shigeto would only get a scolding at most, but what Shigeto detachment is about to lose now is almost all of its technical equipment.
, once something like this happens, Shigeto Chiaki, as the commander, cannot escape the blame no matter what.
"Order" Shigeto Chiaki suddenly turned around, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at the ordering officer, "The Navy's Jiang Defense Team immediately unloaded all technical equipment, returned to the south bank at full speed, and assisted the infantry regiment to cross the river." Shigeto Chiaki was so angry that he forgot that the Navy was not
Under his command, combat orders were issued directly.
But at this time, the Navy's Jiang Defense Detachment had just arrived at the center of the river.
At this time, the loaded cannons were unloaded and fell into the middle of the Yangtze River.
Noguchi, the captain of the artillery team, quickly stopped him: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't unload the artillery into the center of the river, you can't."
"Baga, Baga, shut up." Chiaki Shigeto couldn't help but slap Noguchi to the ground.
The idiot Noguchi never thought that the cannons could be salvaged after being unloaded in the river. However, if the main infantry force on the south bank could not be transported back to Jiangbei in time and the Jiangbei Pier was quickly recaptured, then the large amount of technical equipment stranded on the Jiangbei Pier would be lost.
It will fall into the hands of the squadron. Even if the Chinese cannot take it away, they will definitely burn it.
Idiots all know whether the cannons mounted on the ship are more important, or whether the technical equipment on the north shore is more important.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Shigeto Chiaki kicked the ordering soldier away, then turned around and shouted at Oda Nobuyoshi, "Oda-san, the Second Infantry Regiment will return to reinforcements immediately, return to reinforcements immediately, return to reinforcements immediately." Shigeto Chiaki continued
He yelled three times and then said, "I order you to take back Jiangbei Pier as soon as possible at all costs, take back the Pier, take back the Pier, take back the Pier"
"Hai" Oda Nobuyoshi whipped his head heavily and left with a saber on his shoulder.
