Chapter 22: Good Friday
The Japanese army ran for a day and a night yesterday, fought a day and a night, and finally waited until dawn to stop and sleep, but the whistle sounded again just after falling asleep! The devil soldiers who slept and stared in a daze got up and went to the battlefield, can this battle be fought well?
The cavalry company and the fast assault company were like two sharp knives, piercing through the waist and ribs on both sides of the devil! The devil didn't sleep well, and he had a big temper, but his combat effectiveness did not increase but decreased.
The shooting accuracy that had taken advantage in the previous battles had dropped a lot at this time, not to mention fighting bayonets, the first echelon sent by Ren Laifeng was trucks and cavalry, how could the devils, the infantry who had not yet woken up, have an advantage? From the very beginning of this battle, the Flying Tiger Battalion took the lead.
Lakshin and Bayan are both new to the Flying Tiger Battalion, and they are in a hurry to perform. If the first battle is fought well, it will definitely be beneficial to their position in the Flying Tiger Battalion in the future.
In addition, their tribe was exterminated by the devils, and countless clansmen died tragically under the guns and butcher knives of the Japanese. See the devil again, these two eyes are red!
Seeing the devil's camp from a distance, Rakshen excitedly let out a strange cry that did not look like a human being, "Ahhh Raise the rifle in your hand and let it go, "Smack!" Syllable! By the time he arrived, four of the five rounds from his rifle had been fired. Then, he thrust his rifle into the horse's coat, and pulled out a large, shiny Mongolian scimitar and drew an arc above his head.
The horses rushed into the Japanese camp like a fly. I bumped into a few devil soldiers head-on, and the war horses did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and the devils were so frightened that they instinctively divided to both sides, and the war horses rushed over.
Lakshin saw the opportunity and slashed the knife in his hand downward! The devil under the horse barely raised his gun to parry, and he heard a "click" sound, and this powerful knife not only knocked open the bayonet, but also cut off the devil's head to the ground!
The first knife hacked a devil soldier to death, Lakshin was even more excited, this guy screamed, with the reins in one hand and the war knife in the other, he killed in the devil camp! Bayan was beside him, and these two people were like demon gods descending into the world, harvesting the lives of devils to their heart's content.
The horses' hooves did not stop, and the war knives were waved frequently. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry had rushed out of the enemy camp, leaving behind them a mess of the Japanese temporary camp.
On the other side, the fast company has become a truck team in the front and a motorcycle team in the rear. The driver just pushed forward with the accelerator, and the machine gun was mounted on the front of the car, and the machine gunner swept a shuttle when he saw something was wrong. The fighters in the rear compartment fired their guns from the side compartment fenders. The truck turns into a Spitfire, firing bullets along the way, rampage and invincible!
Don't talk about blocking the road, if you hide slowly, you may be hit by a truck. The truck fleet is like a speedboat in the lake, cleaving the waves and moving forward!
By the time Yamaguchi Nakasa and Kobayashi Shaosa had organized their counterattack forces, these two fast troops had already rushed over and ran away! Yamaguchi and Kobayashi could only curse at the distant enemy.
However, before they could finish scolding, the shells came. It was the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion that began the shelling at the right time!
Shells burst through the air with a loud roar, and one explosion and fire after another fell in the devil's camp. Although the firepower of the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion has not yet reached the level of full coverage of the shelling, the deterrent power of the shelling at this time is enough to scare the devils!
Having just experienced the ravages of the cavalry and the trucks, and in the blink of an eye, it was the baptism of artillery fire, and today was really the day of the suffering of the two Japanese brigades of Yamaguchi and Kobayashi.
The devil's anti-shelling experience is quite inadequate. It's not that they haven't experienced this kind of training, or that the devils are slow to react and have a low level of tactics, but they have basically not experienced similar scenes before.
Yamaguchi and Kobayashi were both veteran Kwantung Army, and they stayed in the northeast since they were sent to China, and never entered the Shanhai Pass once. After the September 18 Incident, the Northeast Army left without a fight, and the resistance forces in the entire Northeast except for Huang Xiansheng and Ma Zhanshan were only the volunteer troops spontaneously established by bandit armies in various places.
Except for the monstrous artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Nomenkan, the Japanese Kwantung Army basically did not enjoy the shelling from the Chinese army. The two brigades, Yamaguchi and Kobayashi, had never even been to the Nomenkan, and the sudden shelling they encountered today could be said to be the first time in their lives that they were attacked by the opponent with artillery.
As far as Cai Gaofeng, commander of the artillery company, is concerned, today is the most hearty battle of his artillery company since its establishment. Six Type 92 infantry guns and more than a dozen mortars are on the swing, but let's fight hard! They don't have to worry about the opponent's artillery counterattack, because the devil's artillery did not fight back at all!
If it weren't for the limited number of shells, Cai Gaofeng really planned to use shells to cover the Japanese camp.
The thunderous purgatory-like shelling finally ended, and it was a miracle that the two Japanese captains survived unscathed. Although they themselves were not injured, looking at the dead and wounded troops, the two devils also wanted to cry without tears.
Knowing that their opponent's attack must be more than that, Yamaguchi and Kobayashi remembered almost simultaneously that they had an ally not far from the next door. So, the two of them each sent their closest signal corps to ask for help from friendly forces.
The signal soldier arrived at the friendly camp, looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and pinched his thigh fiercely, he thought that he had turned around and returned to his barracks. After the two commanders met with the signal corps of the friendly forces, the two of them once again gathered their troops and began to move closer to the friendly forces.
When the two remnants of the defeated army joined forces and the commanders of the two brigades faced each other, Yamaguchi and Kobayashi couldn't help but shed tears. The four hands of the two Japanese officers who survived the catastrophe were tightly clasped together, and at this moment they finally had a kind of understanding, the more people there are, the more courageous they are!
Remove! The two devils no longer fight over who runs first and who is behind, since it is difficult for the brothers, then it is better to advance and retreat together.
The devil was discussing how to run, and he heard the shouting behind him, and it turned out that several main forces of the Flying Tiger Battalion had come over to cover it!
"Yamaguchi-kun!"
"Kobayashi-kun!"
"Let's run!"
The two devils didn't dare to fight, and hurriedly led the remnants of the soldiers to flee. Ren Laifeng led the Flying Tiger Battalion to cover up and kill!
