boom! Boom boom! ...
Fierce artillery fire swept through Xiejiaqiao in an instant. The Japanese who finally broke into Xiejiaqiao still had no way to escape the bombardment of their own large-caliber howitzers and cannons.
The corpses of the Japanese were flying around like tattered garbage. And the old devil Yamada Kuriji finally understood that what he met was actually a madman.
There were still Chinese defenders in Xiejiaqiao, but the other party opened fire so brazenly.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of commander the other party was. He is like an assassin.
His goal is very clear, he is coming to his 103rd Brigade.
Yamada Keiji even guessed that the other party could read minds and had already read his intention to retaliate against the Chinese soldiers.
"Baga Yalu, who are you?"
Yamada Kakiji howled hysterically, but it couldn't change anything.
Under artillery fire, his 103rd Brigade fell out of formation.
No, it's completely out of shape. There are ghosts running around and wailing everywhere, just like purgatory on earth.
At this time, the entire 103rd Brigade was out of ten.
This is the real war. In just about an hour of fighting, the Japanese 103rd Brigade's battle damage reached 80%.
However, the reason why the Japanese suffered so many casualties is very simple.
Any reasonable officer would be thinking, I have an artillery force. When I attack the enemy, I destroy as many enemies as I use as many shells as I can. Which are the key targets, and then after one or two base numbers, we will decide whether to conduct a second round of bombardment.
Some commanders may even calculate that I have to keep some spare shells. What if the enemy still has artillery? Wait!
But just this word often misses the opportunity.
Because there are countless possibilities in the next second. Maybe the reconnaissance team you sent out was wiped out. Or the next second your artillery position has been discovered by the enemy.
Or maybe it was taken away by Dragon Boat Festival, so there are countless possibilities.
But Duanwu didn't think about this. He didn't think about how many shells he had left, nor what he would do if enemy reinforcements came.
He only has one thing on his mind, to annihilate the 103rd Brigade!
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Yamada Kakiji to call Dragon Boat Festival an assassin. He is an assassin with a clear goal.
And at this time, the assassin was coming with more than a thousand people under the cover of artillery fire with murderous intent.
Yamada Keiji ordered the Japanese around him to resist, but dozens of Japanese soldiers did not help at all.
The firepower of the Dragon Boat Festival made the little devil once again see what the power of a submachine gun is.
Under the heavy rain of bullets, they had no chance to shoot. Even if a Japanese soldier takes the risk of shooting, he will be beaten into pieces in an instant.
Of course, there are definitely more than just a few dozen people left in the Japanese 103rd Brigade. Some of the remaining Japs were so panicked and frightened that they ran around. In the other part, on the north and south sides of Xiejiaqiao, some Japanese were even fighting fiercely with the spy camp.
The spy battalion was not completely wiped out. Under the Dragon Boat Festival attack, the Japanese offensive of the 103rd Brigade slowed down, and the soldiers of the spy battalion were able to breathe.
So at this time, the entire battle situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Yamada Takuji.
Yamada Keiji's eyes were filled with despair. Since he met General Wan Yaohuang's 13th Division, he believed that it was the most capable Chinese army.
But no, no! China has simply too many military talents capable of fighting, too many.
Just like today's battle. Is there something wrong with Yamada Kakuji's tactics? Is it because he, Yamada Kashiji, is incompetent? Did he, Yamada Kakiji, use all the tactics he learned in the past to make ends meet?
No!
He did everything he had to do.
After learning that there were no defenders in Changshan Town, he still sent a reconnaissance team to investigate.
He was afraid that the reconnaissance team would miss something, so he sent sentries to guard two kilometers away.
He took strict precautions against the artillery positions. Two squadrons were sent to guard the artillery position.
but! All in vain.
His enemy was elusive and suddenly appeared behind the artillery position. Then with lightning speed, he annihilated the defensive troops on the north side and rushed to the artillery position.
He immediately responded and ordered the two squadrons closest to the artillery position to rush to support.
But the result? The speed of the other party's actions is simply unimaginable.
Not only did they rush through the defensive position without any hindrance, but they also captured the artillery position within two minutes and started shooting wildly at the reinforcements.
Yeah, shooting like that is crazy. Otherwise, after receiving his death order, those Japanese soldiers would not have the courage to withdraw.
But the worst thing is that the madman who seized the position opened fire without even saying hello, which directly caused the casualties of more than half of his 103rd Brigade.
Although Yamada Keiji was shocked at the time, he also made the most powerful judgment for himself, which was to capture Xiejiaqiao and continue to resist stubbornly with Xiejiaqiao as the basis.
Under his orders, the attack progressed smoothly. But I didn't expect that the madman was really crazy and even exploded his own people. As a result, he lost a large number of Imperial soldiers.
He was defeated, completely defeated...
So the old devil started crying again.
Yamada Kakiji looked like a coward when he cried.
But no one should believe in crocodile tears.
Crocodiles cry, but they are just worried that their tear ducts are blocked.
Of course, this is just a joke.
But it has to be said that the two old Japanese soldiers, Yamada and Kaki, are just like the crocodiles. They were crying one second and acted disgustingly and shamelessly the next second.
He took the two wounded soldiers from the special agent battalion he had captured as hostages and stood in front of him.
Seven or eight Japanese soldiers were armed with Type 38 rifles, escorting the wounded soldiers, and lined up in a row.
These people are all close followers of Yamada Kakiji and die-hard fans. Therefore, when faced with an enemy hundreds of times larger than himself, he still had no intention of retreating.
At the same time, when Duanwu saw that the Japanese had hostages, he could only order everyone to stop.
However, the moment he stopped, he waved his hands left and right.
Xie Jinyuan and Sun Boan each took some people to support the two battlefields fighting the Japanese in the north and south.
The soldiers of the secret service battalion are still fighting, which means there are still people in the secret service battalion alive.
Dragon Boat Festival wants to save them. Because in order to annihilate the entire Japanese 103rd Brigade, the spy battalion paid an extremely heavy price!
He couldn't let the secret service camp fail to retain even the most basic seeds. He strode up to Yamada Kakiji and said, "It's a man. Release the hostage, and I'll challenge you to a duel."
Yamada Kakiji smiled obscenely: "Sir, you really know how to joke. Now that I have released the hostages, can I still live? Please bring your commander out! I want to take a look at what kind of person he is and what kind of person he is. Defeat me, a talented student from Army University!..."
