Major General Yamada was really cruel to the lone brigade, and he was also cruel to his own people. Anyway, he was not the one who was loyal to the emperor, so this round of indiscriminate bombardment lasted for more than an hour, almost using artillery shells. The battle area was plowed.
Major Umezawa lay in a bomb crater and closed his eyes in pain. He had already understood the intention of the brigade commander. They were just cannon fodder;
In his opinion, this round of indiscriminate bombardment was fatal to both sides. If he were in his position in Yamada, he would do the same. Everyone can sacrifice for the glory of the empire, including himself.
He has always regarded himself as the elite of the empire, eager to establish an eternal foundation for the empire. He never thought that one day he would become cannon fodder in the eyes of others. The bitterness in his heart cannot be expressed in words;
He could accept Major General Yamada's behavior, but he still greeted all the women in Yamada's family in his heart. From the eighteen-year-old to the eighty-year-old, he spared no one. He could accept it in public, but he could accept it in private. He must be scolded, no one is willing to say thank you after being cannon fodder for others.
The artillery fire finally stopped. Although only more than an hour had passed, Major Umezawa felt as if a century had passed, and he had become a lot more decadent. Others had grown old overnight, but he had stooped down for an hour. His back had been straight before. Carrying it on...
"Bagya Road, Yoshimura-kun quickly counts how many people are left and informs each squadron leader to organize the troops and prepare for a new offensive!"
It must be said that Umezawa's heart is very strong. After encountering such treatment, the first thing he thought of was to organize his troops and continue the attack. The poison of the bushido spirit has penetrated into their bones. These old devils will not die. Absolutely, the overall fighting will of the Japanese will not decline.
After receiving the order, Captain Yoshimura, the senior staff officer of the brigade, sent several correspondents to each squadron to convey Umezawa's order. I don't know if the squadron leader can be found;
After Major Umezawa gave the order, he took out his telescope and observed the Chinese position. It was also filled with gunpowder smoke and there were residual flames everywhere. The entire position was quiet and there seemed to be few living people. This made him feel a little more mentally balanced. Some, at least, were buried with Chinese people.
Outside the city, at the Yamada brigade headquarters, Major General Yamada was also observing the situation in the city with binoculars, focusing on the effects of the shelling in the center of the city. The entire city was shrouded in thick smoke, and few living people could be seen. Yamada's A victorious smile appeared on his face...
Suddenly he realized that this seemed inappropriate. His smile flashed away and he immediately put on an expression as if he had died as his own son. The same was true for Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Ueii. After all, it would be detrimental to their reputation if this kind of thing spread. Yes, he still had to have the painful expression he should have. He said to Lieutenant Colonel Kamei:
"Kamii-kun, Miyamoto-kun and others all died for the imperial holy war. They wiped out Luo Ying's lone brigade and served His Majesty the Emperor. Their souls should return to the Yasukuni ghost toilet and enjoy the admiration of all people;
You lead a brigade into the city to collect the corpses of the warriors, and eliminate all the remaining Chinese soldiers by the way. "
After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Kamei felt happy. He was asked to go and pick the peaches. It was impossible for all the Chinese to be killed. There would still be some remaining soldiers, and there would also be some remaining soldiers in the 65th Regiment.
The credit for recapturing the regiment flag cannot be left to them. Lieutenant Commander Kamei belongs to the brigade headquarters, and most of the credit belongs to Major General Yamada, and part of it belongs to the 104th Regiment. It would be great if the 65th Regiment can be restored to its organizational structure, but they don't even think about it. What a credit.
After figuring out the reason, Lieutenant Commander Kamei excitedly took the order and left. Ten minutes later, he led the first brigade of the 104th Wing and rushed into the city with murderous intent. Major General Yamada was already looking forward to the future. His mind was always on Jinling City, two hundred kilometers away, where he built immortality. Apart from a group of desperadoes, Kunshan City was nothing but ruins.
In the city, Major Umezawa of the 2nd Battalion of the 65th Regiment finally got a casualty report that he couldn't bear to look at. Since they were almost always exposed in the wild during the shelling, those craters and ruins had no defense against direct fire. In a mountain cannon Under the indiscriminate attack of the brigade, the only person who survived was Amaterasu's mistake;
Before the bombardment, they still had nearly 600 people. After the bombardment, there were only more than 200 people left, and almost everyone was injured. He estimated that the third brigade was not much better than them. Relatively speaking, the first brigade was not in the center, so the casualties should be It will be much less, but there are only more than 300 people in the first brigade. From this point of view, the total of their three brigade will definitely not exceed a thousand people.
"Bagya Road!"
Major Umezawa greeted Major General Yamada's wife and daughter once again, and he felt better. The spiritual victory method sometimes has some effects.
He merged the remaining 200 people into a strengthened squadron, and then issued the order to attack. He was ready to seize the position of the lone brigade before the other two brigades, and strive to be the first to recapture the regiment flag. Major Umezawa has been He is the most thoughtful one among the three captains. Unfortunately, he is unlucky. He is always smart but is misled by his cleverness.
Major Miyamoto, who was trailing behind, saw that the second group wanted to take all the credit, and immediately ordered the remaining 200 warriors to rush forward shouting Itaya slogans;
Only the captain of the Third Battalion on the other side looked at the two idiots with a sneer. Not only did he not attack, but he ordered the remaining 500 people of the Third Battalion to move to defense on the spot.
His brigade had the largest number of people who survived this round of shelling. More than 500 people were equivalent to half of the brigade. He felt that they could all have more than half of their troops left, and there would definitely be a lot of Chinese people left. At this time, the rush If you go up there, you're not trying to gain credit, you're risking death!
Not everyone can understand it. For example, their second squadron leader, Captain Mizuno Juichiro, is all about grabbing credit. In the eyes of Major Ishibashi, he is just full of shit. Unfortunately, Captain Mizuno does not have this awareness at all. He anxiously suggested to Major Ishibashi:
"Your Excellency, Captain, almost all the Chinese people were wiped out by the artillery fire of the Imperial Army. The First Brigade and the Second Brigade are all trying to take credit. We rush forward quickly. Maybe we can still make it in time. After all, we have the most warriors left."
Major Ishibashi looked at Mizuno as if he were a fool. He really wanted to split open his head with a knife to see if there was poop inside. He resisted the urge to split him and snorted:
"Do you think that the Shiqiao brigade has the most troops left because you charged so fast? The first brigade was the first to rush and was beaten by the Chinese, with only 300 men left. The second brigade tried to take the credit again and now only a few are left. To 300 people, if you want to die, I can allow you to serve the emperor alone, so as not to harm the warriors of the second squadron."
The captain of the first squadron already understood the deep meaning of the captain, and said to Captain Mizuno with a sinister smile:
"Mizuno-kun, let them charge. The Chinese people will not die. When they are almost done fighting, why don't we go up and pick up what's ready?"
Captain Mizuno suddenly realized that he was lacking a muscle, but he was not stupid. He understood it as soon as he heard it;
Just as he was about to say that the captain was wise, there was intensive gunfire in front of him. Captain Mizuno's expression changed drastically and he said in shock:
"There are no less than ten machine guns and hundreds of rifles. It seems that the surviving Chinese troops are no less than 300 men. Your Excellency, the captain, is really good at predicting events. It is not too much to call him Zhuge of the Imperial Army."
A proud smile appeared on Shiqiao's face, and he only needed a feather fan in his hand. He said triumphantly:
"In the future, please remember better. It is very important to make meritorious deeds, but the prerequisite is to have a life!
Gentlemen, now our opportunity has come. The first and second brigades have already pinned down all the Chinese troops. We bypassed the flanks and did not need to shoot. We worked quietly, bypassed the Chinese flanks and rear, and then suddenly If he launches an attack, Luo Ying will be doomed. "
When the few little devils heard this, they were so excited that they screamed and took the order.
