Ichiro Honda took out a salted fish rice ball as big as a child's fist, a few toffee, and a box of canned beef from his shoulder bag. This was his sumptuous battle lunch;
Coming from an ordinary fisherman's family in Toyama, he was very satisfied with the food in the army. Usually, it was basically rice balls with salted fish. During the war, each person was not only given a can of beef, but also a few toffee to supplement calories. The last one is sweet to the heart.
His hometown, Toyama Prefecture, is located in the middle of the sea side of Honshu Island. It is hit by typhoons all year round. Most people live a very difficult life. When he was in school, his teacher told him that the Chinese people have the most fertile land in the East. On the land, crops can grow by just scattering a handful of seeds;
It's so unfair that such fertile land is occupied by the Chinese. It should belong to the empire!
If the Tiaobaji people want to live a life free from natural disasters and rich, they must occupy the land of the Chinese people. They are backward and poor, and everyone has a long braid on the back of their head. They do not deserve to have such fertile land. .
Every human being should have a lifelong wish to conquer the Chinese people. Young people should participate in jihad to conquer China, kill all the Chinese people, and seize their land...
Ichiro Honda's blood boiled every time he heard it, and he wished he could grow up as soon as possible so that he could conquer the world for the empire;
As soon as he graduated from high school, he couldn't wait to join the army. Three years later, he was now a corps commander. When the jihad began, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Finally they landed on the land of the Chinese people, and it was Shencheng, known as the Pearl of the Orient. The squadron leader told them that as long as they fought hard, they could occupy the magnificent Shencheng in a month at most, and then occupy the entire city in three months. China;
Then spring will come for the footbath chicken people, and they will no longer have to withstand the erosion of natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes...
Ichiro Honda thought that he could conquer China soon. He was full of strength. He finished the rice dumplings and canned beef in two or two mouthfuls. He wanted to eat early so he could fight early. He couldn't wait to occupy the Chinese positions;
The squadron leader said that as long as they occupy the main field, they can go all the way south and enter the city. There is inexhaustible wealth there. The 35th Regiment will lift military discipline. They can steal everything they see and kill them. If all the Chinese people die, Shencheng will be at the mercy of others from now on!
"Ichiro Honda, you must work hard, expand the territory for the empire, and build an eternal foundation!"
After Ichiro Honda finished cheering himself up, he picked up the remaining toffee. He wanted to save them for his beloved sister. The meatballs had never tasted the sweetness of toffee.
"Honda-kun, are you saving the toffee for Maruko again? You are too kind to your sister. The relationship between you two siblings is really enviable."
Yoshikatsu Hara Mori appeared in front of Honda with a lewd smile. They came from the same village and knew each other well. Honda knew as soon as he saw the smile of Sergeant Hara Mori that he had no good intentions.
Yuan Shou Yoshikatsu had just been promoted to sergeant. Now he was one level above him in the military position, and he became more and more bold when talking to him. He knew the meaning behind Yuan Shou's words, so he quickly explained:
"He and Wanzi are half-brothers and sisters. They only have brother-sister feelings. I hope Yuan Shoujun won't make random jokes."
"Honda-kun, I don't mean anything else. It's just that you're overthinking it, and it means that there is no silver here. Since you only have a brother-sister relationship, why not introduce her to me? I will also become a sergeant now. It is possible to become a commander or even a second lieutenant in the future. If you follow me, you can live a good life, and I will give him my milk candies every day."
"Bage Yalu, Wanzi is only fifteen years old, you can't have any ideas about her, otherwise I won't be angry with you!"
Ichiro Honda's reaction was a bit excessive, which made Yuan Mamoru believe his guess even more. Honda and Maruko were not related by blood at all. It was rumored in the village that Honda was the son of his mother and the village chief who had a wild affair in the fields while his father was fishing at sea. So his mother gave him the name Honda Ichiro...
Ichiro Honda definitely has feelings for Maruko that go beyond brother and sister, otherwise the reaction would not be so great, and Mamoru Hara also has treacherous intentions towards Maruko;
Honda is the sharpshooter with the best marksmanship in the squadron. Seeing that Honda was a little angry, Hara Mori Yoshikatsu stopped irritating him, but this matter is not over yet. He is now Honda's squad leader, and he still has a chance to kill Honda.
Thinking of this, he pretended to apologize to Honda, saying that he was just joking, and held Honda steady, planning to find a way to kill him after the fight started. He had already developed a murderous intention for Honda, and if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't get the meatballs.
At this moment, Honda suddenly heard the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air. Marksmen are all particularly sensitive to cannonballs, so he was the first to sense the danger. He quickly rolled to the ground and hid in a in a bomb crater;
Hara Mori Yoshikatsu's reaction was a beat too slow. Before he could make a move, the group of artillery shells crashed into the group of Japs. Countless Japs who were eating were blown to pieces. Just now, they were like Honda. In his mind, he fantasized about conquering China, but he turned into a cold corpse in just a moment.
Hara Mori Yoshikatsu's reaction was slow, but he was lucky. He was only slightly injured and escaped. This made Ichiro Honda very disappointed. It would be better if he died.
The artillery fire of the 69th Army hit the Japanese one after another, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese of the 35th Regiment who were preparing to attack. Many Japanese were sent to the underworld just after eating, as if they were eating rice with their heads cut off. The only thing It's a pity that the artillery shells did not reach the Japanese artillery position, which was filled with special ammunition....
"Bageya Road, how come the Chinese have artillery? Quickly order the artillery brigade to open fire and destroy the Chinese artillery!"
Colonel Fujisueyoshi, the captain of the 35th Regiment, yelled angrily.
The artillery directly under the Japanese Regiment includes 4 Type 41 mountain guns, 6 92 infantry guns and 3 37mm combat anti-cannons. There are also many 90mm mortars, with more firepower than the 69th Army alone.
After the artillery battalion of the 69th Army was exposed, it was quickly targeted by the Japanese artillery. Their tactical literacy was very high. After only a few rounds of artillery fire from the artillery battalion, they calculated the location of the artillery position of the 69th Army. At this time, the artillery battalion's The 75mm mountain gun had no time to evacuate;
They did not intend to evacuate, but just let the 12 mortars that were easier to maneuver withdraw first, and they seized the time to continue bombarding the Japanese. As long as they were not hit by the Japanese, they would pull some Japanese infantry to the bottom. The infantry brothers make the final contribution.
Since the Japs of the 35th Regiment were in a state of assembly, when they were covered by Chinese artillery fire, they suffered heavy losses, at least hundreds of casualties, and most importantly, they blew up a large number of their weapons used to support the attack. Supplies gave the Japanese a heavy blow.
After they fired more than a dozen rounds of artillery shells, the Japanese artillery shells also hit them. Although they did not directly hit the artillery battalion, it was already very dangerous. The battalion commander ordered all the artillery brothers to evacuate and no longer needed the artillery;
Unfortunately, everyone pretended not to hear his order, and still quickly stuffed the shells into the cannons, racing against time to fire at the Japanese. Their purpose was very simple, just to draw more Japanese backing.
"Didn't you fucking hear that? I ordered you to evacuate the cannons and leave the green hills behind, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood—"
"Battalion Commander, please save your energy. There are no more cannons. Just let us live and die with the artillery battalion——"
A Japanese artillery shell fell and hit the position of the artilleryman who had been talking before. The entire artillery crew fell in a pool of blood. The others pretended not to see it and continued to attack the Japanese calmly. Fire, and make a profit every time you fire a shot, until you are overwhelmed by the enemy's artillery fire...
"Are you all crazy? Well, since you are going to die, then I will die with you, and you will not be lonely on the road to hell."
After the battalion commander finished speaking, he also rushed into the artillery position, and together with an ammunition hand, he stuffed a 75mm mountain artillery shell into the barrel, and then threw the revenge shell into the group of Japanese soldiers, swallowing up more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.
When they fired another artillery shell, a Japanese artillery shell also flew over. The battalion commander and the entire artillery crew were all killed.
In the distance, Commander Ruan's eyes were blurred...
The artillery fire finally stopped, and the 69th Army Artillery Battalion dealt a heavy blow to the attacking Japs at the cost of annihilating the entire army. Not only did it kill hundreds of Japs, it also delayed the Japs' attack for another two hours, which was a huge blow to the infantry brothers. Said, these are definitely two precious hours.
"Brothers, the artillery brothers have set an example for us. The rest is up to us. We must stay in position!"
Zhang Keming shouted loudly with tears in his eyes. This was their final declaration.
"People are in position!"
The response was like thunder.
Two hours later, the Japanese attack was belated, but the largest number of troops was invested. The time for the decisive battle between the two sides arrived.
