Following the pig-nosed boy were twenty-eight of his subordinates.
The Japanese infantrymen, who were also anxiously waiting for a tough battle, swarmed to the top of the city and looked at the city that had been destroyed by heavy artillery, small artillery, and all kinds of artillery.
The devastation was the first impression left on the Japanese troops of the city they dreamed of conquering.
Immediately afterwards, there was ecstasy.
The dilapidated neighborhoods destroyed by artillery fire and the corpses everywhere proved the strength of the imperial artillery. All the previous worries were gone, replaced by ecstasy and greed.
The division commander has ordered that the wealth in this city will be shared by all the ministries they invaded, which means that they are going to get rich.
Coming to my prosperous hometown in China, isn’t it because there is money here?
There may even be unexpected surprises.
What could be more healing than wealth, women, and the ability to indiscriminately trample on life for an army that has been suffering from pain before conquering a position?
For those members of the Sixth Division who had been brainwashed by Hisao Tani's gangster theory, no more.
Therefore, after experiencing a series of psychological changes such as fear, joy, greed, etc., the Japanese infantrymen of the Pig Nose Team cheered like a tsunami.
"His Majesty the Emperor is on board!"
"The Imperial Japanese Army is on board!"
"The Empire of Japan is onboard!"
.......
A series of boards make people who don’t understand Japanese even think that these guys are all from pulling pallets, otherwise, why would there be so many boards?
As for the countless Japanese generals who were hiding behind telescopes, what they could see was nearly thirty people from their own side, holding 38 rifles with bayonets, waving the imperial flag, standing on the city wall and enjoying themselves.
call.
In the exact words of German war correspondent Fred, who arrived at the frontline headquarters of the 11th Infantry Brigade with Tokutaro Sakai: Although there were less than thirty people from the Japanese Army who climbed onto the wall of the ancient Chinese city, I watched through the telescope.
With their rifles raised high and cheering, you can imagine their mood at that moment, as if they had taken over the world.
No one knows whether Fred wrote this sentence as a compliment or a satire to the Japanese Army, but it at least shows that the Pig Nose Team's attitude at the moment when they stood on the wall of the occupied ancient Chinese city was wild and unrestrained.
"Inform Captain Kuroda that the Chinese city defense has been captured by our army! Our troops will approach the city for reconnaissance." The pig-nosed waiter suppressed his excitement while ordering the soldiers to hide under the city wall not far away.
Captain Kuroda reported, while personally planting the military flag representing glory on the top of the city.
I did not forget to take off the bayonet on the 38 rifle and carve on an intact city brick under the military flag: Second Lieutenant Pig-nosed Xiaoer of the Imperial Japanese Army led his infantry squad to become the first unit of the Imperial Tenth Army to invade Songjiang City, China. Special
To commemorate this, the twelfth year of the Showa era!
This is the so-called peak of life!
The pig-nosed waiter, who had not undermined his awareness of cultural relics at all, was so satisfied at that moment that he once again raised his arms towards Songjiang City in front of him, as Fred said, as if he had trampled the whole world under his feet.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
The pig-nosed waiter stood motionless.
A bullet arrived accurately, penetrating the obvious little star on the 90 helmet, and then shot into the hard skull. After continuously penetrating two layers of hard objects, the bullet completely deformed, rolling continuously in the soft human brain, and the brain was destroyed.
The flowers completely turned into tofu puddings.
All the pig-nosed second lieutenant's thoughts were focused on the moment when he reached the pinnacle of his life, and then fell into darkness forever.
Perhaps, dying when you are at your peak can be considered a kind of happiness! Although the dead Japanese second lieutenant may not necessarily think so.
Death came so quickly that his motor nerves had not yet reacted. His body was still upright and his arms were still embracing the world.
In fact, the pig-nosed second lieutenant was not lonely either. "Bang! Bang!" gunshots rang out continuously. Although the Japanese soldiers who were still cheering were well-trained and quick in reaction, and they all lay down at the top of the city, three people were still shot. Two of them were shot.
On the chest, one on the head and face.
They were all vital points, but the tenacity of human vitality was astonishing. The heart-rending screams of the three Japanese soldiers who were unable to die for a moment shocked Shoji Hebian who was about to cross the river and broke out in white hair.
He immediately retracted his feet, looked at the more than 400 remnants of the 6th Infantry Brigade that were already under the city wall directly in front of him, and gave a decisive order: "The enemy's situation is unknown. Our 4th Infantry Brigade will not cross the river for the time being, and everything will wait for the reconnaissance of the 6th Infantry Brigade."
complete."
Kawabe Shoji's caution almost brought the four infantry squadrons of the 4th Infantry Group, which had entered a charge, back from the brink of death, if the engineers and soldiers were not so diligent and hardworking.
Although the Sixth Infantry Brigade, the elite of the division, suffered heavy losses in this wave, even Major Da Lin, who needed to take medicine, was dead, but in fact, the Engineer Regiment of the Sixth Division suffered the most casualties in this round of attacks.
Disastrous troops.
In order to complete the construction of a simple pontoon bridge that would allow the army to cross the 30-meter-wide moat without getting stuck in the quagmire, more than half of the engineer regiment that invested more than 600 troops suffered casualties, and the battle damage rate was as high as 50%.
However, the engineers who suffered heavy casualties finally completed the military order issued by Hisao Tani, almost using their lives to build two simple passages in the mud of the moat that could accommodate at least two people running side by side.
The Japanese army wanted to invest troops on the other side of the city wall so that they no longer had to jump into the cold river water.
A few seconds later, the pig-nosed boy who was standing there rolled over and fell down. The Japanese soldiers nearby who had been hit by several sudden shots were shocked to find that their squad leader was dead.
"There he is!" a Japanese soldier pointed forward and yelled.
In a section of trench that was almost completely destroyed by heavy artillery, a figure jumped out at high speed and rolled behind a section of low wall.
The bullets and grenades fired by the Japanese infantrymen who woke up just covered the position where he had been before.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out again.
The grenadier soldier who had just fired a grenade fell over.
"Chinese sharpshooters!" The Japanese soldier lying on the wall felt cold in his heart.
That figure was at least more than 100 meters away from them. The time from when he jumped out of hiding to the new hiding place and disappeared would never exceed 2 seconds, but in such a short period of time, someone could actually find someone who was interested in him.
The most threatening grenadier was located, and he fired quickly. What's more terrible is that his marksmanship was incredibly accurate.
No matter how accurate the marksmanship is, there are many of us! The marksmanship is also good! There are many Japanese soldiers who think like this, but thinking like this will bring them one step closer to death.
The precise marksmanship they were once so proud of was really not enough in front of the Chinese sharpshooter who kept changing positions in the ruins.
Even in the high-speed rolling evasion of moving to the hiding place, he was still able to shoot. He may not have been able to kill the target he wanted to kill, but the feeling of the mud splashed by the bullet hitting the helmet was still frightening.
Almost no one dared to raise their heads ten centimeters. The three colleagues who no longer screamed reminded them that Amaterasu and tenacity were equally ineffective in front of this sharpshooter, just like the Chinese faced the surging empire.
Like artillery fire.
After seven people were killed in succession by a Chinese sharpshooter hiding in the ruins, the Pig-nosed team, which had lost its commander, was pinned to the wall with one shot per person and unable to move.
The only good thing is that they are relatively close to the city wall. They don't need any modern tools to convey the situation in the city to their colleagues who are still hiding under the city wall fortifications.
"Nani? The Chinese sharpshooter? Only one person? You lost seven people in the battle? The entire infantry team was suppressed?" Captain Kuroda asked incredulously.
Looking up at the imperial military flag flying high only ten meters away from him, he couldn't help but feel angry.
The Chinese position is close at hand, and his subordinates have even planted the flag representing victory on the city wall. As a result, they can only wait on the edge of victory.
"Baga! This is just the last struggle of the Chinese. How can the imperial warriors be blocked by this man? That will be a shame for the imperial army. I order the entire army to enter the city wall, kill the enemy, and quickly establish a blockade
Work on the fortifications and wait for the main force of the alliance to follow up."
Captain Kuroda made his own judgment based on the counterattack of a Chinese gunman.
This is very Japanese.
It’s not that the Japanese are easy to get flirted with and will take off their pants at the slightest provocation.
Rather, honor is above all else.
If faced with a counterattack by a Chinese soldier, dozens of Imperial officers and soldiers can only crawl on their knees waiting for support. What's even worse is that hundreds of other Imperial officers and soldiers can only wait on the spot. If word spreads, it will become a joke to the Imperial Army.
Therefore, although there will be some risks, maintaining the honor of the division is obviously more important.
Not only did hundreds of Japanese troops enter the city wall through several gaps like ants, Captain Kuroda also ordered the signal troops to wave signal flags.
That is a signal requiring the main force to follow up.
With all the brothers on board, Major Shoji Kawabe could not even think about being cautious for a moment, so he could only grit his teeth and let his two infantry squadrons charge towards the city wall.
Although the passage built by the engineers was very messy, it was enough for a Japanese infantryman to pass through the moat in 10 seconds.
I hope nothing happens! Hebian Zhengci hid in a private bunker and muttered to himself.
Those idiots of the 6th Infantry Brigade didn't care, but there were still two of his infantry squadrons crossing the river.
There are some things that you really can't think about, the more you think about them, the more you think about them.
The sharp scream of "Whew..." directly made the Japanese major's heart drop, and he suddenly fell into focus.
