The cavalry slipped away, the infantry withered, and the Chinese ran away.
His Excellency, Commander of the Ushijima Brigade, also felt his heart go cold, but his blood was still warm.
"Baga! The Chinese are constantly harassing us, but they just want to delay our army so that the main force can escape." Ushijima's eyes flashed with cold light, pointing directly to the core of the problem of being harassed. That is not because the Chinese love him too much. "
Unfortunately, the area around Songhu has been gradually occupied by the imperial army, and their maneuvering space will become smaller and smaller, and all their struggles will be in vain."
"Ignore the order. The entire army will continue to pursue at full speed. The artillery units will continue to maintain high vigilance. Once an enemy attacks, they will immediately launch a covering artillery bombardment. If it doesn't work once, then twice. If it doesn't work twice, then three times."
The severely beaten Ushijima Mitsuru finally gave up his plan to kill the incoming Chinese in one go.
To put it bluntly, if I just let you suck it, how many kilograms of blood can your little mosquito suck from my old cow?
Don't tell me, this move made Tang Dao feel helpless, and the 36th Infantry Brigade's forward pursuit never slowed down.
Even if the advance regiment suddenly turned around in the afternoon and the whole army forcibly crossed the Suzhou River and ran towards Jiashan, due to the frequent dispatches of Japanese naval reconnaissance planes, the 36th Infantry Brigade did not lose its direction and insisted on not saying anything. The distance between the two sides was in the afternoon.
time has been shortened to 10 kilometers.
Perhaps due to the terrain, Tang Dao gave up the original attack plan. It was not until 9 p.m. that he fired five rounds at the Japanese army's convoy 1,500 meters away on a hill, and was lucky enough to blow up the ammunition truck.
One car.
The sky-high flames produced by the explosion of ammunition illuminated the entire sky.
However, the Japanese army, which was continuously attacked by sneak attacks, also learned to be smart. The ammunition workshops kept a distance of nearly 40 meters. Although the explosion of an ammunition truck caused heavy losses and was heartbreaking, at least the chain explosions would not cause a catastrophic accident.
Several mountain cannons that had been waiting in the Japanese army's ranks quickly adjusted their muzzles, followed by the illumination instructions fired by the Japanese infantry squad that followed the sound, and fired wildly into the wilderness more than a thousand meters away.
Tang Dao fled in panic.
However, the location of the attackers was too exposed, and the fly-shaped Japanese search team was too aggressive, as if they were smelling smelly meat.
According to the muffled sound of the mortars, the attackers should be only three hundred meters away from them. They had never been so close to those nasty mosquitoes.
Then, the two Japanese squadrons, who were eager to make a success and almost sprinted 100 meters towards the hill, were miserable.
One minute after the four mountain cannons that first started bombarding opened fire, the other eight mountain cannons also opened fire one after another. The twelve angry mountain cannons fired more than 50 shells in just 2 minutes. The raging artillery fire covered at least 2,000 square meters.
The wilderness blasted the hills that had been exposed to the artillery observation equipment into a white field, and at the same time, it also enveloped the thirty Japanese soldiers who rushed all the way.
Not to mention that artillery shells are never equipped with any kind of identification friend or foe system. Even if they are installed, the flying shrapnel and air waves will not care whether you are Chinese or Japanese. If you are hit, it will be the same.
Half of the two infantry detachments, which were not very active, were killed by their equally active artillery, and not many of the other half were killed.
Artillery is indeed the god of war!
Tang Dao, who carried the mortar, rolled and climbed with all his strength before jumping out of the area covered by artillery fire, looked back at the small hill engulfed by the surging artillery fire, and couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.
He also didn't expect that the Japanese hated him so much, and more than a dozen cannons were waiting for him to appear.
The job of beating sap is almost impossible!
"Then I'll just wait a little longer. I won't sleep if I don't believe you, you idiots!" Tang Dao, who was turned into a dog by the cannon, also got angry and muttered, carrying 82 and forcing him to escape into the night.
Niu Er and Kuroko, who were responsible for responding to him, looked at each other silently and expressed their condolences to the Japanese in the distance.
It seems that these unlucky Japanese people will not have any chance of sleeping peacefully tonight.
Japanese
A mouthful of old blood!
It wasn't a matter of sleeping or not, but seeing a dozen mutilated corpses and a group of limping infantrymen.
This artillery coordination is really difficult.
"Order the 114th Infantry Regiment to send additional peripheral patrols and maintain vigilance. Except for the artillery squadrons of each regiment and the artillery regiment of the division, all the rest of the army will take turns to repair immediately!" Silently, the old blood that has not yet been sprayed out was silently
After swallowing his stomach, Ushijima gave the order with a green face.
In fact, without waiting for his order, most of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly ate a few cold rice balls, wrapped themselves in blankets and nestled into the simple trenches that took two hours to build and fell asleep.
I am really too tired.
Because of the constant harassment by the Chinese, at least half of the army who dared not sleep deeply last night had big black circles under their eyes. If they can't sleep normally today, I'm afraid they will all have panda eyes tomorrow.
Does that mean we have to change the name from 'black skin, bright red blood' to 'black eye circles, bright red blood'? Panda Division?
after an hour!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three more artillery shells came from 2,000 meters away and exploded 30 meters outside a Japanese camp.
It was scary, but no one was hurt!
Here we go again! Ushijima, who had just finished getting dressed and lying on a simple camp bed for less than 20 minutes, opened his eyes in pain.
If possible, the Japanese Army Major General really wants to send a letter to the Chinese commander on the opposite side. If you have the ability, don't do this trick. Let's just put the car and horse into a fight. I don't want to call the navy and the mainland for help.
It is a pity that the Japanese Army Major General knows that the Chinese are here to harass him for no other reason.
The legendary strategy of exhausting troops.
But the key point is that he can't do anything against the cunning Chinese.
Continuous rounds of firing regardless of cost can only prove that using cannons to kill mosquitoes is really just for self-psychological comfort.
Here we go again! The Japanese infantrymen who were sleeping in the trenches woke up one after another and looked into the dark wilderness with the same despair as their commanders.
After two days and one night of extreme fatigue, they just wanted to have a good sleep! Can't they satisfy even this requirement? The invading army also has human rights!
Yes, this is really not satisfying.
From 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., Tang Dao never stopped. Relying on the maneuverability of the war horse, Tang Dao was on the outskirts of the 36th Infantry Brigade's five-kilometer camp, with a hammer to the east and a mallet to the west.
In the evening, he launched an artillery attack on the Japanese camp that he had already observed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Sometimes five shots were fired, sometimes three shots were fired, and sometimes just one shot was fired.
Just like waiting for another boot to hit the ground upstairs, the irregular shelling caused the Japanese infantry to sometimes wait for a long time before they dared to go back to sleep.
Is it a bit too cheap? After finally waiting for the second artillery attack, the Japanese infantrymen breathed a secret sigh of relief and felt that something was wrong.
Compared with the humble infantry, the Japanese artillery should be called numb.
They also had not had much rest for two days and one night, and they were all confused. From the beginning, the twelve cannons fired more than 50 shells in one wave, and by the last time, they could only fire more than 20 shells feebly.
They no longer had any confidence in using cannons to kill their opponents. The firing of cannons only proved that they were not completely flat yet and that they were still stubbornly wearing their belts to the barbarians who were constantly harassing them.
In the end, the Japanese infantry were completely flat.
"Let them blow it up! Anyway, the bombings are all heavy equipment!" This is probably the true thought of most Japanese infantrymen.
Perhaps it was because the neighing of the frightened packhorses after the shells exploded was too revealing of the target.
The Chinese's five or six consecutive long-distance bombardments, no matter which direction they were launched from, were basically aimed at the baggage troops with a large number of pack horses.
Not to mention that the infantrymen in the main trenches of the 36th Infantry Brigade had turned a blind eye to the annoying mortar shells and continued to sleep with cotton stuffed in their ears. The Japanese vanguards who were still patrolling on the periphery had also become
Pancakes' - laid out.
The "Pancakes" who had experienced their colleagues being sent to the sky by their own artillery, even started to retreat after just advancing two to three hundred meters from their patrol area to the location where the sound was made.
‘The enemy has fled!’ was the only content they reported.
By the time of the last shelling at three in the morning, even the "Pancakes" themselves hid in the grass and fell asleep.
Why, the guys in the main formation need sleep, is it possible that they don’t need it? During the day, who wouldn’t be as tired as a dog on the road?
Besides, it was already almost morning. According to the time when the attackers launched their attack yesterday, they should be able to stop.
Inertial thinking can only make people make mistakes in daily life, but on the battlefield, it can really kill people.
They are Tang Dao's target tonight.
Tang Dao continued to bombard the baggage train. No matter how stupid the Japanese were, they knew that their position was exposed. How could they not move?
He has always remained stubborn and has only allowed the Japanese to form inertial thinking.
Tang Dao's target was this group of patrols who were at least one mile away from the main formation.
However, a patrol of a hundred people is distributed along a nearly ten-mile long defense line. When the visibility is good during the day, it can naturally make up for the nearly 300-meter distance between each small team. Once the enemy is discovered, the infantry who can quickly assemble are enough to defeat any intrusion.
They were surrounded to death.
Not to mention that there were only 4 of them, even 40 of them would be furious on the spot.
But now it is night, and they have been marching for two consecutive days and two nights without sleep. Even if they are iron men, they still need to close their eyes. It is not a question of whether their willpower is strong enough or not.
Tang Dao, who has experienced the most rigorous special forces training, knows the limits of the human body too well. Even if he is as strong as him, the longest time he has not fallen asleep is only 96 hours. He does not want to experience that kind of ecstasy again in this life.
.
He believed that the Japanese infantry were not that strong yet.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, a ghostly figure appeared in the area where the Japanese vanguard team was.
Except for two or three Japanese soldiers who could barely stand up and take a nap while fighting back to back, the grass in the wilderness was full of happy little snores.
I'm happier than smoking after doing that thing.
Sleep is the most precious enjoyment for the ‘pancakes’ at this time.
Therefore, most of them will always embrace this preciousness.
Can't wake up!...
ps: Today is the chapter. My daughter is going to school in the evening. In the morning, she asked her old father to take her to OCT to play. How could the old father have the heart to refuse, so he had to take her to play and send her to school before 6 o'clock?
Self-study. I wrote this chapter last night. I thought I could save a chapter, but it turned out that Feng Yue was overthinking it.
This is what life is like! You really can’t think too much.
