Although the 6th Infantry Battalion was treated as cannon fodder by Shoji Kawabe, the temporary frontline commander, and reluctantly became the first wave of stormtroopers, its reputation as an elite unit was definitely not justified.
They resolutely carried out the military orders and were brave enough. They had learned from the past and walked through the swamp at a dizzying speed on their short legs. After entering the city wall, they sent people to seize the gap and quickly built temporary fortifications around it, while taking human ladders to get there.
A grenade has been thrown into the discovered shooting hole.
After it was confirmed that the heavy firepower point fortifications within the city wall were basically threatened, hundreds of Japanese troops began to prepare to enter the city wall area along the damaged gaps.
Then, a signal soldier caught up from behind and shouted at the top of his lungs: "His Excellency, the brigade commander ordered that the entire army be on standby! Send a reconnaissance team to enter the city first to detect the enemy's movements!"
"Nani! Stay where you are?" Captain Kuroda, commander of the 1st Infantry Squadron of the 6th Infantry Battalion, looked extremely ugly.
The captain of the 1st Infantry Squadron has taken over the command of the 6th Infantry Battalion. Major Kambuto Ohashi is gone. The captain of the 4th Infantry Battalion, Shoji Kawabe, has only re-invested his troops into the front line.
The military rank ratio is a higher level, so I have to obey his orders.
As the darling of the regiment and the division, how can the Sixth Infantry Battalion think highly of the 4th Infantry Battalion? Being commanded by a scumbag major, the proud remnants of the Sixth Infantry Battalion were simmering with anger from top to bottom, and now they suddenly received
The military order from the messenger of the Fourth Infantry Brigade that the entire army is on standby, isn't that a big deal?
In the view of Captain Kuroda, who has an inherently irritable personality, the military orders issued by the brigade commander were clearly the conspiracy of that idiot Shoji Kawabe.
Despicable villain, he just watched the 6th Infantry Battalion become the first to climb the city and plant the imperial flag with great glory, and let them brave the danger of being shelled by Chinese artillery and heavy machine guns to cross the swamp.
become a bubble.
Thinking of this, Captain Kuroda, who was already filled with anger due to the failure of the Sixth Infantry Battalion's attack, became even more furious. He stared angrily at the cautious signal soldiers for a long time, and his face gradually returned to coldness: "Military orders, our army has already
Received, please also tell Major Shoji Kawabe for me that the glory of the Imperial Army cannot be obtained by a few small thoughts, but by the blood of fearlessness and brave men."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the signal soldier of the 4th Infantry Brigade who was sweating profusely and was at a loss, and looked directly at his own signal soldier beside him: "Order, Pig Nose Team serves as the reconnaissance team, tell Second Lieutenant Pig Nose Xiao Er, the first general
The honor of planting the flag on the Chinese city wall belongs to them."
Although this irascible Japanese army captain had in his heart paid tribute to all the eighteen generations of women from Kawabe Masaji's ancestors who temporarily served as the top commander on the front line, he still maintained the best traditions of the Japanese army and enforced orders and prohibitions.
He actually knew very well that no matter whether this military order was issued by that bastard Shoji by the river who used the tiger skin as a banner, at least one thing was right. If the main force of the entire army rushed to the city, it would be the Chinese alone.
If the mortars are fired, it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
It is necessary to detect the enemy's movements.
As for the pig-nosed squad and the pig-nosed second lieutenant he mentioned, they were not meant to be insulting, that was what they were called.
Moreover, the Pig-nosed team, who had gained his trust, performed extremely bravely in this battle.
As the first wave of forwards who jumped into the water, almost all the other infantry teams were killed and wounded and accompanied the major to meet Amaterasu. However, the Pig-nosed team was like taking a powerful pill. After its team leader, Second Lieutenant Pig-nosed,
Under his leadership, he lost only one-third of his troops and landed nearly two infantry detachments ashore, escaping the massacre by the Chinese.
Regardless of whether it's because it came last, it at least shows that Team Pig Nose's luck is overwhelming, and they may be blessed by the gods.
As for Lieutenant Pig-nosed, a surname with unique bones and unique features in a Japanese island where weird surnames are rampant, Captain Kuroda was unable to complain. Perhaps, Lieutenant Pig-nosed’s ancestor’s nose was more distinctive, hence the name!
The Pig-nosed team, which had great luck in the first wave of attacks, felt good about themselves. Although they felt that it was dangerous for them to enter the city wall as an infantry team alone, with the temptation of being able to put the general's flag on the city wall, they
The pig-nosed second lieutenant with a big rosacea quickly organized his troops and led his team of twenty-eight soldiers towards the gap in the city wall.
There are four gaps in the city wall that are more than 1,000 meters long and more than 20 meters wide. Second Lieutenant Pig-nosed led his infantry squad as fast as flying, and rushed towards the gap in the eyes of many Japanese generals from behind who looked over. The Japanese second lieutenant was inspired
With his sharp saber held out, he rushed up the gentle slope formed by the collapse of the city wall.
To be honest, although it is tempting to plant the honey that represents the victory flag on the enemy's position, and although he was protected by the gods and escaped from the hail of bullets in the first wave of attacks, the Japanese second lieutenant, as a person who participated in at least ten
Veterans of several actual battles are actually very clear-headed.
He knew that the Chinese were actually very tenacious, otherwise they would not have defended this not-so-strong city against a hundred thousand troops with far fewer troops than they did.
The Battle of Jinshan, in which the entire army was wiped out but no one surrendered in the previous two days, reminded this veteran that perhaps the city defense battle was just a temporary defeat caused by various factors. The remaining Chinese people did not know where the cat was and could be attacked at any time.
Fire deadly bullets at him and his men.
However, the sober Japanese second lieutenant had no second choice. He could only charge forward.
This is a typical coexistence of opportunities and risks, or it can also be called chasing a duck to get on the shelf. You can get it even if you don’t want to.
As he charged forward with his saber drawn, the Japanese second lieutenant's heart was pounding, and he was actually ready to die in battle.
He seemed to have seen a sudden black mass of Chinese soldiers appear on top of the city, followed by a stream of blazing bullets fired from shell guns, submachine guns or light machine guns.
Then, beat his body into a sieve!
A second lieutenant with a good imagination will definitely become a good military strategist in peaceful times.
At least, at this moment, the scene formed in his mind was complete.
Ancestor, please continue to bless me!
With an anxious mood, about five seconds later, the pig-nosed second lieutenant, who looked determined but was actually almost shrinking into his abdomen, stepped on the dirt and rushed towards the gap.
The journey of just ten meters was perhaps the most difficult charge in Pig-nosed Coordinator's life. The poor Japanese second lieutenant had some cramps in his calves.
However, what surprised the pig-nosed boy was that the scene he imagined did not appear. There were no Chinese soldiers on the city, and there was no stream of blazing bullets.
The six-meter-high city wall is considered the tallest building in Songjiang Town. It has an excellent view and you can clearly see the scene inside the city from a high position.
But I saw that the blocks not far from the city wall had been bombed into ruins, and countless craters proved to the Japanese lieutenant the power of their own artillery fire.
Visible wreckage was everywhere, proving to the Japanese lieutenant that it was not that the Chinese were not tenacious enough, but that the empire's artillery fire was too sharp.
That cannot be resisted by tenacity.
The gunpowder smoke that was still rising hundreds of meters away was the work of the division's artillery regiment.
It turns out that we really won!
That is, he became the first person out of 100,000 people in the army to plant the flag representing victory on the enemy's position. How could it be so unreal?
The pig-nosed lieutenant was in a trance for a while.
The nose, which was originally white from fear, flushed because of the surge of blood.
