Li Bian's prayers did not receive a response from Mazu. The soldiers on the mud mountain did not stop shooting. The captain of the Second Infantry Regiment of Taiwan, Oda Nobuyoshi, did not order to stop the attack. Instead of stopping the attack, Oda Nobuyoshi invested more troops. , it was a squadron just now, but this time a whole brigade was involved
Under the cover of six gunboats, a dozen armed merchant ships approached again.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of small boats and kayaks were launched from the armed merchant ship. Then, one after another, Taiwanese soldiers climbed over the side of the ship and descended down the ladder to the small boats and rubber boats. In less than a moment, nearly Hundreds of small boats and kayaks were already crowded with Taiwanese infantrymen armed with live ammunition.
Seeing this scene, Li Bian really wanted to shout loudly, no, don't come here, you will die, you will die.
However, in the end, Li Bian still did not dare to shout, but just huddled motionless behind Jiang Xinshi and pretended to be dead.
A few minutes later, nearly a hundred small boats and rubber boats docked one after another, and then thousands of Taiwanese infantrymen and hundreds of Japanese military officers jumped in like dumplings. In the dark red river, the cold water reached their waists and poured into their military boots. Then they struggled forward and began to grab the beach.
Then, the terrifying scene from before was staged again, with overwhelming barrage pouring down from the sky again.
More than 700 infantrymen from the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of Taiwan had just set foot on the river beach when overwhelming barrage rained down. Under the dense barrage, on the unobstructed river beach Above, these poor Taiwanese soldiers couldn't find a place to hide, and they fell one by one in an instant.
However, no one dared to take a step back.
Because nearly a hundred Japanese military officers raised their sabers and followed behind them.
As a result, more than 700 Taiwanese infantrymen could only muster the courage to charge forward. Every time they took a step forward, they had to pay heavy casualties. In less than a moment, the blood flowing from their bodies was dyed red again. On the river beach, dark red blood flowed down the river beach, dyeing the river red again, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Li Bian was so frightened that he closed his eyes and did not dare to look at this extremely tragic scene.
For a moment, Li Bian really wanted to rush out and be beaten to death, because if he died, he would no longer have to endure this endless mental torture. However, Li Bian did not have the courage after all, so he finally chose He huddled behind the stone in the center of the river, living like an ant.
In less than half an hour, the offensive of the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Battalion was disintegrated.
However, it was not over yet. Immediately afterwards, the 4th Taiwan Infantry Brigade was transported to the north shore by a transport ship and launched another beach landing on the bodies of the 2nd Infantry Brigade. However, waiting for the fate of the 4th Taiwan Infantry Brigade, it was with the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Brigade. There was no difference between the brigade and the squadron. Under the ferocious barrage of the squadron, they also fell one by one.
Dividing line
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, on the hills.
Oda Nobuyoshi's hands holding the telescope began to tremble involuntarily, not because of excitement, let alone excitement, but because of boundless fear.
This is another infantry brigade, a fully organized infantry brigade.
In just ten minutes, another fully formed infantry brigade was crippled.
Of the more than 700 infantrymen he belonged to, less than 300 were still rushing forward. The remaining soldiers were either killed on the spot or fell on the river beach wailing and moaning, even though they were several kilometers away. Across the river, Oda Nobuyoshi seemed to be able to hear their dying cries.
And the fate of the remaining less than 300 remnant soldiers has already been determined. Not to mention whether they can cross the remaining few hundred meters of river beach, even if they rush through the river beach and reach the river bank, they may not be able to survive. There is no escape, because hundreds of squadrons are still hidden in the ruins of Nantong.
The squadron would tear these remnants into bloody pieces like a sheep.
The muscles on Oda Nobuyoshi's face began to twitch violently, and his hands were trembling.
Although these soldiers borrowed from Taiwan are all cannon fodder, and no one cares about their life or death, no matter what, they are still his soldiers, Oda Nobuyoshi. Seeing his soldiers being wantonly slaughtered, Oda Nobuyoshi's face is naturally shameful. No, this is not just a shame, this is a shame, this is his great shame
Under the overwhelming barrage, the 6th Taiwan Infantry Battalion fell one by one.
The river beach, which is nearly one thousand meters wide, has become a natural chasm that Taiwanese infantrymen cannot cross.
Seeing that the 6th Infantry Battalion had very few troops left, Oda Nobuyoshi finally couldn't restrain the huge shock and fear in his heart. He turned to Chiaki Shigeto and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, withdraw."
"No, no, we can't withdraw." Shigeto Chiaki is already crazy. He is completely crazy.
In fact, as early as two hours ago, after the offensive of the 2nd Infantry Battalion was broken down, Shigeto Chiaki had already realized that he had once again made a big mistake. Since the squadron dared to use the barrage coverage tactic in Jiangbei , it means that he has sufficient ammunition reserves and is not afraid of the Chongteng detachment taking human lives to fill them.
The cruel reality dealt a heavy blow to Shigeto Chiaki and left him completely stunned.
Unexpectedly, by this time, Shigeto Chiaki could no longer care so much.
As the offensive of the 6th Infantry Brigade was disintegrated again, the disastrous defeat of the Chongteng Detachment has become an established fact. Now for the Chongteng Detachment, the number of casualties has no meaning, because for him, the commander of the detachment, if Jiangbei cannot be recaptured The dock cannot recapture the technical equipment stranded in Jiangbei. There is a difference between 1,000 casualties and 9,000 casualties.
Now, there is only one thought left in Shigeto Chiaki's mind.
The idea is that Jiangbei's squadron must be defeated, even if the two infantry regiments of the Chongteng detachment are wiped out. Anyway, those who died are Taiwanese, not subjects of the empire. There is nothing to regret at all. Taiwan has many Ten thousand of the slaves educated by the imperial people died, and another ten thousand were recruited.
At that moment, Chiaki Shigeto turned around and shouted: "Funakoshi-san, Funakoshi-san"
Captain Funakoshi of the 1st Taiwan Infantry Regiment took a step forward, bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander"
Shigeto Chiaki glared at Funakoshi, gritted his teeth and said: "Order, the 5th Infantry Battalion immediately crosses the river, seizes the beach to land, recaptures the Nantong Pier, and recaptures the technical equipment stranded in Jiangbei."
"Your Excellency, Commander." Funakoshi said with a frown, "The China Army has built a heavy machine gun position on the mud hills in the north of the Yangtze River, and the ammunition reserves are very sufficient. It is too costly to continue the attack at this time. It is better to wait until the river tide rises, or to make a detour from upstream and downstream. Then attack from the east and west sides toward the south toward the center."
This is not the first time Funakoshi has made suggestions.
But the result is the same, Shigeto Chiaki doesn’t want to hear it at all
Shigeto Chiaki didn't want to listen before because he didn't want to waste time, because whether it was waiting for the tide to rise in the evening, or detouring from upstream and downstream to launch a centripetal attack, it all takes time, and what Shigeto Chiaki lacks most now is precisely time, waiting until the evening tide rises , or from upstream and downstream, the day lily is cold.
Now Shigeto Chiaki doesn't want to hear it, but it's because he has gone crazy.
Besides, the entire Chongteng detachment has been disabled, so what's the use of leaving an infantry brigade behind?
Shigeto Chiaki went crazy, slapped Funakoshi in the face, and cursed: "Baga, am I the commander or you are the commander to execute the order? You only need to execute the order."
"Hai" Funakoshi nodded heavily and walked away with a dark face.
The first level of officialdom can crush people to death.
Dividing line
Jiangbei, on Mud Mountain.
No matter the veteran, Jiang Nan, Cui Jiu, or Wan Ying Lieutenant, Siberian Tiger, Xiao Yanyue, and soldiers, everyone has been numbed by the bloody and cruel scene in front of them. Therefore, the Japanese armed merchant ships and gunboats were once again fully loaded.
As the Taiwanese infantry approached the north shore, every one of them had no expression on their face.
Xu Rui silently calculated the Japs' strength in his heart.
Seeing the Japanese boats and rubber boats docking again, and seeing another group of Japanese soldiers rushing onto the river beach from the kayaks and small boats, Xu Rui raised a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth and said to the veteran: "Veteran, this should be
It’s the seventh wave, right?”
The veteran nodded and said, "Yes, this is already the seventh time Chongteng detachment has seized the beach."
Xu Rui said with a ferocious smile: "Except for the first beach raid, where the Japanese only committed an infantry squadron, the subsequent six beach raids were all brigade-sized. The Chongteng detachment was under the jurisdiction of the 1st Taiwan Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Taiwan Infantry Regiment.
There are only six infantry brigades in total, which means that this is the last wave of the Chongteng detachment to seize the beach."
This is already the last wave of the Japanese to seize the beach, but the result will not be any different.
Just like the previous six times, it was impossible for the Japanese to even build a beachhead, let alone retake the Nantong Pier.
The veteran was speechless when he heard this. Ordinarily he should be excited, because the battalion once again created a miracle. With less than 600 remnant soldiers, it severely damaged the Chongteng detachment in Nantong with its full strength. But for some reason, the veteran's heart was
He felt a little confused because this battle completely subverted his view of war.
In the history of ancient Chinese wars, there are many examples of battles in which the weak defeated the strong and the small defeated the large, such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Feishui, and the Battle of Chibi. However, even Jingxing commanded by the soldier Han Xin
The battle was probably not comparable to today's Battle of Nantong.
During the war game the night before yesterday, 10,000 veterans did not believe that Xu Rui's plan could succeed.
From the veteran's point of view, Xu Rui's entire combat plan has too many prerequisites. As long as one of the prerequisites is not met, everything will be lost. However, in the end, these prerequisites were all met.
The Chongteng detachment was really severely damaged by the battalion, or in other words, it was almost completely wiped out.
Is this just good luck or is Xu Ruizhen foreseeing such a result?
If Xu Rui really foresaw this outcome, then this person would be too terrible.
