Chapter 141: Victory, Victory!
The Japanese army paid a terrible price for its hubris!
Due to the failure of the gas bombs to inflict damage on the Tiger Regiment, the battle in the city was almost one-sided, and in less than 10 minutes, it was nearing its end.
There were only two or three hundred devil soldiers left in the 20th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which were divided into several pieces by the main force of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and were relying on the ruins of some civilian houses to make their final resistance.
It must be worth mentioning that the Japanese army's will to fight is indeed amazing, even if they are faced with the dilemma of nine deaths and one life, they have not thought of surrendering.
In the east of the city, on the central main street, 500 meters away from the east city gate, a group of more than 10 little devils were besieged in several dilapidated houses.
A captain and company commander of the Tiger Regiment led his troops to launch several attacks one after another, but they were stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army.
At this time, Yang Jing rushed over with the soldiers of the Monkey and Other Sharpgun Company, and he immediately stopped the captain and company commander who planned to continue the attack.
"That's not how the battle is fought!"
Yang Jing reprimanded the company commander who led the team, and then said awe-inspiringly: "Artillery, grenadiers are waiting!"
Machine gun crew, immediately rely on the nearby commanding heights to build suppressive fire!
Bombardier, get your grenades ready! ”
When the order was issued, Yang Jing even carried a cloth of the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle in his hand, and with the help of the broken wall next to him, he directly turned over and jumped onto the second floor of a private house next to him, and began to snipe and suppress the Japanese position.
A gunshot rang out, and the devil heavy machine gun that was still showing off its might at the previous moment suddenly stopped roaring.
……
"Yaga!"
In the ruins, the devil lieutenant led by him was stunned for a moment, and then he waved the command knife in his hand vigorously, roaring to boost the morale of his subordinates: "Warriors of the empire, resist, Your Excellency the Captain will soon lead his troops to reinforcements!"
As long as you hold out until the reinforcements arrive, it will be the time of death for these people! ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, several high-explosive grenades fell from the sky and smashed into the ruins.
One of the grenades even landed at the feet of the devil lieutenant, and without waiting for the little devil to react, the grenade exploded directly with a "boom"!
The shock wave generated by the explosion directly flew out of the little devil, slammed into the broken wall on one side, and died on the spot.
The command knife in his hand also "dang", and flew out a few meters away.
At the same time, a Type 24 heavy machine gun mounted on a high place also roared violently.
As the Heavy swayed from side to side, a large number of scorching dense bullets suddenly fanned out into the ruins.
The smoke and dust were filled, and the bricks were flying.
suppressed the rest of the catastrophe and the little devils who intended to stand up and fight back.
The captain who was reprimanded by Yang Jing naturally would not miss such an opportunity again, and immediately personally led more than 10 of his brothers to launch a strong attack.
"Bomb dropping!"
Rushing to less than 20 meters from the rubble, the captain immediately took the lead in pulling a grenade and threw it into the rubble.
The rest of the Tiger Regiment's soldiers followed suit.
In an instant, more than 10 smoke-emitting grenades fell into the rubble.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
In the next moment, a continuous explosion sounded inside the ruins.
Before the smoke from the explosion could clear, the captain led the way through the collapsed broken wall with a Mauser pistol.
When he raised his eyes, a devil with a bloody face was just about to struggle to get up from the ground, and the captain didn't think about raising his hand to shoot it.
"Smack!"
The bullet hit the devil in the face, and he screamed and fell to the sky.
The captain looked around, in order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
So he immediately held a Mauser pistol, ready to name the corpses of the devils lying in the ruins.
As a result, there was really a ghost soldier lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he shouted, 'Ya Butterfly, jumped up and wanted to escape, but was shot several times by the captain and killed on the spot.
After the battle, Yang Jing jumped down the second floor to the edge of the ruins, pointed to the captain's head and said: "To fight, you must use your brains more, and you can't blindly do it!" If you can solve problems with shells, bullets and grenades, don't rush hard, and don't even think about fighting bayonets with little devils!
Our brother's life is more expensive than these things!
Do you understand? ”
"Hmm!"
The captain nodded heavily, his face full of emotion.
He was born in the Sichuan army and knew the value of shells, bullets and grenades.
In the Sichuan army, the value of a grenade is even much higher than the life of a soldier.
It's true, the conditions are too bad!
Many times, the reason why they choose to fight with the little devil is that there is no choice!
What a blessing to be able to follow a chief like Yang Jing!
……
The battle that followed ended smoothly.
Although the devil is tenacious, under the combined suppression of the grenadiers, heavy machine guns, and grenade rain of the Tiger Regiment, they can't afford to turn up a little wind and waves.
At the end of the battle, all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment couldn't help but smile with excitement and pride on their faces.
With weak soldiers, they not only successfully held Kunshan City for two days, but also annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops.
They do have a capital to be proud of!
However, they also won unusually badly!
As the battle began, Kunshan became a huge meat grinder.
The Sichuan Army Division, from the regiment commander and above, and all the high-ranking officers died heroically and died in the country.
The 67th Army of the Northeast Army, also from the regiment commander and above, and even the commander of the lieutenant general, Wu Jingshan, died heroically and died in the country.
Wang Dali, deputy commander of the Tiger Regiment, was seriously injured, Bi Yuntao, the commander of the first battalion, was seriously injured, and Liu Yue, the commander of the fourth battalion, was seriously injured.
Several other battalion commanders, more or less, hung up some lottery.
The platoon commander killed more than 30 people.
The Tiger Regiment, the Sichuan Army Division, plus the 67th Army of the Northeast Army.
Although all three units had been crippled before they entered the war, the total strength still exceeded 10,000 men.
And by now, there are less than 1,500 people still alive.
The extent of its tragedy can be seen!
Yang Jing did not show an excited expression like other soldiers, but gave an order with a calm face to let the soldiers pay attention to the anti-artillery.
Sure enough, as soon as his order was issued, before all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment hid in the safe zone, the devil's retaliatory bombing flew over.
Suddenly, the entire Kunshan City was once again reduced to a sea of fire.
Some of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment who could not dodge were suddenly engulfed in flames, and they were killed and wounded.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers still hid in the safer buildings in time.
In the east of the city, the ground floor of a dilapidated house.
Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng turned his head and asked, "Tuanzao, the little devil shouldn't attack again, right?" ”
Yang Jing said: "It's going to get dark soon, under normal circumstances, the devil shouldn't continue to attack!"
However, the Japanese 16th Division suffered heavy losses at the hands of our regiment one after another, and it cannot be ruled out that they will be frantic and launch an attack overnight. ”
Ma Haifeng was a little worried: "Tuanza, although our regiment has destroyed countless enemies in these battles, our casualties are also very heavy.
At this time, there were less than 1,000 soldiers who could fight.
If the devils attack again, I'm afraid we may not be able to resist it. ”
Yang Jing sneered: "Our regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army will only be heavier than us!"
Two infantry brigades and four infantry wings under his command were all disabled by us.
Even if they have enough reserve troops to replenish them, their combat effectiveness will definitely be much worse than before!
Once night falls, the devil's aviation, as well as artillery, will greatly weaken the threat to us.
If Nakajima wasn't a fool, he wouldn't attack overnight, but would wait until dawn tomorrow. ”
……
Half an hour later.
The Japanese shelling finally ended.
And a group of Tiger Ben soldiers were finally able to get out of the bunkers everywhere.
"Alert sentinels, continue to strengthen precautions!"
"Baggage battalion, assist the field hospital to rescue the wounded!"
"The rest of the battalions, clean up the battlefield immediately! If nothing else, the little devils shouldn't continue to attack tonight, and we can evacuate when the battlefield is cleaned up!
In addition, I know that you have all suffered from a lack of supplies and even running out of ammunition and food. But what Lao Tzu must correct is that in my Tiger Regiment, human life is far more important than weapons and equipment!
As long as we can successfully break through, Lao Tzu will be able to get you enough and good enough weapons!
Therefore do not be greedy. If you can't take it, you will destroy it all on the spot! ”
Yang Jing issued orders one after another and personally presided over various post-war affairs.
When they heard the sentence 'In my Tiger Regiment, human life is far more important than weapons and equipment', everyone's hearts were touched!
The sense of belonging to the Tiger Ben Group has reached an unprecedented height in an instant.
Some soldiers who were a little more emotional had some tears faintly flashing in their eyes.
In order to fulfill their promise to defend their home and country to the death, many times, they even used their own flesh and blood to resist the devil's aircraft artillery and bullets.
The conditions are just too bad.
However, even if they were treated differently and unfairly by the government, they did not complain!
Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng said: "Tuanzuo, what should we do with the bodies of these brothers who died in battle?" ”
Yang Jing didn't answer and asked: "If one day, you unfortunately die in battle and die for your country, what do you want other soldiers to do?" ”
Ma Haifeng said: "I hope, I hope that the brothers will be able to transport my body back to my homeland for burial. ”
Yang Jing continued to ask, "However, if it is to collect the body for you, it may cause the sacrifice of other brothers, what do you want?" ”
"This ......" Ma Haifeng's heart touched fiercely, and after a moment of silence, he re-spoke: "Compared with collecting the body for me, I hope that the brothers can keep their useful bodies and continue to fight for me!" ”
Yang Jing stretched out his right hand and patted him on the shoulder: "As a soldier, being able to die on the battlefield is their highest honor!"
Why bury bones, life is full of green mountains! ”
Ma Haifeng nodded heavily and said, "Tuanzao, I know." ”
"Then lead the brethren and continue to clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes!"
……
Headquarters of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.
Knowing that the 19th Brigade had used the killer weapon of poison gas bombs, it still failed to capture Kunshan City, but instead paid heavy casualties, and the 20th Infantry Wing in charge of the attack was almost completely wiped out.
The commander of the division, Nakajima Isago directly, blew up.
In the face of the 19th Brigade Brigade Commander Tatsushi Kusaba, the 20th Wing Wing Commander Nobuaki Ohno, and Watanabe Takemasa, who is known to be well versed in the essence of street fighting, they are full of fragrant mouths and reprimands.
The atmosphere of the entire headquarters was suppressed to the extreme at once.
Everyone didn't even dare to take a breath of air.
The only one who was happy was probably the commander of the 30th Brigade, Sasaki Kochi.
Of course, this old devil also saw that the division commander Nakajima was extremely angry.
Therefore, he didn't dare to show the joy in his heart, let alone the fact that Caochang Chen had fallen into the well.
Suddenly, the Chief of Staff Mitsuo Nakazawa had a telegram in his hand and hurriedly ran in from outside: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it seems that Kusaba-kun cannot be completely blamed for this defeat. ”
"Nani?" Nakajima turned his head and stared angrily at Mitsuo Nakazawa, as if asking him to give a reasonable explanation.
Mitsuo Nakazawa hurriedly took a step, quickly came to Nakajima and approached, and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the latest information from the Special High Division, the 6th Division of the Imperial Army used poison gas bombs when it was in Songjiang.
In the end, not only did it not work, but it was ambushed by the Tiger Ben Regiment generals, and there were heavy casualties!
Therefore, if nothing else, this tiger group should have a way to deal with the poisonous gas of the imperial army! ”
"Nani?"
Nakajima's face changed, hearing this, how could he not know the root cause of the 20th Wing of the Imperial Army this time.
The next moment, Nakajima Imago couldn't help but be furious, and roared hoarsely: "Yaga Ya Road! What do the people in the intelligence services do? Why did you inform the ministry of such an important situation now? ”
Nakazawa Sanfu said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the intelligence department cannot be blamed for this matter, it was Gu Shoufu who deliberately concealed this matter for the sake of his own face. ”
Nakajima slammed his fist on the conference table in front of him, and roared angrily, "Yaga Yalu! Damn, really hateful! This damn Gu Shoufu, he must be responsible for this defeat of the 20th Wing of the Imperial Army, as well as the Imperial warriors who shattered the jade in this battle!
I'm going to the base camp to impeach him! ”
……
The picture pulls to Kunshan City.
Yang Jing has returned to the regimental headquarters.
Subsequently, he immediately called the signal corps and instructed him: "Immediately send a telegram to the commander's headquarters of the Third Theater, saying that after the bloody battles of the officers and men of the whole regiment, our division has completed the task assigned by the commander, and has severely damaged the 16th Division of the Japanese army, killing more than 10,000 enemies, wounding the enemy, and capturing it!"
In addition, I asked the Governor's Department if I could evacuate Kunshan tonight. ”
"Yes!"
The signal soldier responded, and immediately took the order to leave.
……
Nanjing, the Third Theater Governor's Department.
Chen Cixiu summoned a group of senior officers from the Chief's Department and was holding a meeting in the conference room.
In the past two days, because of the evacuation of the army, Commander-in-Chief Chen couldn't eat well or sleep well.
The whole person's spirit seemed very sluggish, and his eyes, which were originally bright, were already full of bloodshot at some point.
Suddenly, the door to the conference room was slammed open from the outside.
Chen Cixiu raised his head and found that the person who came was a communications staff officer of the Confidential Department, and his heart suddenly 'chuckled', instinctively thinking that this was definitely not a good thing.
I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you so reckless?" Didn't you know we were in a meeting? ”
……
