Only then did Li Hu remember the soldier who was killed. He quickly walked to the man and gently took off the helmet on his head. He saw a bullet hole on his head but not much blood. At this time, Mu Qinghe also rushed over. He came over, knelt down and stretched out his hand to explore the man's neck. After a while, he was pleasantly surprised and said: "Quick, he's not dead yet, there's still a heartbeat. Take him back quickly." As he said this, his hands were not slow and he immediately took out Ziqing. Red medicine and bandages began to be applied.
When the soldiers of the 1st company rushed out, they had already prepared simple stretchers, and soon several soldiers came over to carry the wounded and left.
Li Hu and Mu Qinghe looked at the stretcher going away, hoping in their hearts that this brother could hold on and that he would be saved if he persisted until he was sent to the field hospital in the temple.
In this near-miss, fierce and sudden battle, one of them was only injured but not killed. The two of them felt happy in their hearts and couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this time, a voice came from far away. Li Hu turned around and saw a thin figure staggering over. It turned out to be Li Xiaohou.
Good guy, I saw him carrying two 38-type rifles that were much taller than him, and his own submachine gun hanging on his chest. Bullet boxes, belts, etc. were hung all over his body. , not afraid to push his small body down.
Li Hu rushed up to support his shaky body and took the two rifles. Li Xiaohou took a few deep breaths and said something hurriedly. It took Li Hu a long time to understand after watching him talk and gesture. This guy said he just shot and killed a Japanese.
Seeing Li Hu's suspicious eyes, Li Xiaohou became anxious. He pulled Li Hu's sleeves and started talking to the tiger again, until he was slapped on the back of his head by the old squad leader who came over, and then he closed his head in aggrieved manner. Mouthed.
"Chief Li, don't listen to his nonsense. Monkey Boy just followed the team and fired a few shots. How could he hit Little Japan from a few hundred meters away? If he didn't hit one of his own people, it would be a big deal."
Seeing Li Xiaohou pouting in grievance, Li Hu laughed loudly, took Li Xiaohou's hand and said: "What a good little brother, if you have the courage to rush out, you are a warrior. I believe in you, you fight Hit, hahaha!”
The old squad leader quickly explained it to Li Xiaohou. Li Xiaohou smiled happily, took Li Hu's hand and jumped up. As a result, his cloth shoes were rubbed off, revealing his dark feet, and everyone laughed again.
Li Hu patted Li Xiaohou on the shoulder to signal him not to move. He bent down and pointed out the size of his feet, then strode towards the pile of Japanese corpses. After picking and picking, he carried a pair of Japanese Showa 5 military boots and two A pair of socks came over and motioned for Li Xiaohou to put them on.
Even though Li Xiaohou is thin, people in Japan are generally short and tall, so it is not easy to find a pair of military boots of the right size.
Li Hu looked at Li Xiaohou happily changing his shoes, then turned to the old squad leader and said: "Old squad leader, go tell the brothers that the little devil's military boots are good things, don't throw them away."
Two hours later, the unarmed Japanese corpse collection teams carrying red crosses and white flags came to the battlefield. When they saw that all the Japanese corpses had been stripped down to only their underwear and crotch cloths, they couldn't help but cursed angrily. : "Baga! Are these Chinese troops beggars? Why do they want all the rags?"
…
Not to mention how Li Hu and the brothers of the 1st Company celebrated after returning, I just said that at this time, Major General Shimomoto Xiongmi of the Japanese Army Command was sitting in front of the map in confusion and thinking hard. He was anxious. This time he was really anxious. .
How come the bonito tactic that was proven yesterday doesn’t work today?
Judging from intelligence analysis, the Chinese army was indeed restrained by the tactics he invented, and they did not make any targeted adjustments. How could it be easily cracked by the Chinese army today?
But this is not what he is worried about. What he is worried about is that the casualty figures reported this morning surprised him. On the four fronts of Zhabei, Jiangwan, Zhanghuabang and Yunzaobang, nearly 100,000 casualties were killed and injured in one morning. Four hundred people, and more were killed than injured. In other words, more than two Japanese squadrons were wiped out in one morning.
What made him most heartbroken was that basically all the infantry artillery attached to the four brigades were blown up by the enemy's counterattack. Some were blown up by enemy mortars, and some were blown up by enemy infantry artillery. This made him very depressed and frustrated. I don’t understand why the Chinese army added so many artillery pieces overnight, and how they exploded so accurately.
The key point is that the casualties caused to the enemy were very few. This is completely different from the casualties between the enemy and ourselves yesterday. What went wrong?
Could it be that reinforcements from the Chinese army are coming? This is not right. As a former enemy commander of the Japanese army, Shimomoto Xiongmi has many sources of intelligence. He knows that Nanjing, China has formed a Fifth Army composed of two elite divisions and is on its way to Shanghai, but the fastest is We won't be able to get there until tonight.
Thinking of China's reinforcements, Shimomoto Xiongya naturally thought of the Japanese 9th Division, which was also about to arrive this evening. This was what made him feel most anxious. Why? I can’t explain it to the new commander, Lieutenant General Ueda!
You must know that the Japanese mixed 24th brigade commanded by Shimomoto Xiongmi has four Japanese reorganized brigades, namely the Japanese 140th, 141st, 142nd, and 143rd brigades. In just three days, the 143rd Battalion was basically crippled in the victory of Yunzaobang claimed by China, and the only remaining artillery team was also bombed today.
If we add in the casualties this morning, it can be said that the current Mixed 24th Brigade has lost one-third of its combat troops and all its artillery, its combat effectiveness has dropped by more than half, and the morale of the entire unit is also quite low.
If Lieutenant General Ueda saw these things, I wonder if he would have committed hara-kiri on the spot? Shimomoto Kumiya didn't dare to think about it anymore. Ever since he was dissuaded by Vice Admiral Koshizaburo Nomura when he half-seriously wanted to commit suicide, he no longer wanted to try this inhuman torture again. Every time he thought of the scene when he stabbed his round belly with the extremely sharp imperial sword, Shimomoto Xiongmi would wake up from sleep until midnight.
Suddenly, Shimomoto Xiongmi became energetic when he just thought of this. He felt as if he had overlooked something?
By the way, he just thought of the 143rd Brigade, which suffered heavy losses in the Yunzaobang defeat. How could he forget the mysterious Chinese army that caused all this?
He finally realized what he was doing. He slapped his forehead and murmured to himself, "Baga! I'm such a pig."
At this time, the adjutant who was not far away from him and carefully observed him also heard this sentence. He had been worried that the major general would stab himself in the belly with a saber if he couldn't figure it out again. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Brigade I'm afraid the regimental commander is a little out of his mind. You actually called him a pig? That's good. At least you won't order yourself to be the wrong person anymore. You know, cutting off the head of your own brigade commander is also very stressful. Is it okay? If not, you will have nightmares every day."
