Chapter 148: Kong Rong Makes Pears?
Death, but it's not far from death.
Cerebral hemorrhage has a mortality rate of more than 80 percent in 90 years, let alone this era.
The Japanese major general, who had already suffered a heavy blow on Liu Lang's side, was already over 50 years old, and was severely stimulated by the shame of his subordinates fleeing without a fight, and his cerebral blood vessels finally exploded.
Seeing the commander of the Major General's Brigade fall in front of his eyes, Kasahara Kawa Osa, who was accompanied by him with a dirty face, somehow suddenly did not feel sad at all, but had a kind of joy.
If this person is hiccupped, perhaps, the Kwantung Army Command can take him responsible for the defeat, and a major general of the army should be able to bear this pot.
If Mitsumi Suzuki, who had fallen into a deep coma, knew that his right-hand man had such a "powerful" idea, maybe he could really die on the spot.
According to the regulations of the Japanese army, when a superior commander is unable to command a battle for some special reason, he should take over with a subordinate rank. Kasawara Kawa Osa and Yanagawa Nao Osa are both infantry wing commanders, and according to military regulations, both are qualified to take over the command of the 4th Infantry Brigade, and Kasahara Kawa is now in the brigade headquarters, and he immediately chose to accept the command, which is completely fine.
In normal times, Nakasawara River is definitely a happy jump three feet high, he was originally a big sa, and he is only a kick away from the major general, if he has the experience of commanding the entire brigade and regiment this time, the rank of major general is not a certainty, and there is a chance of more than 50%.
But now, whoever takes over this mess is a fool! Kasawara Chuan was obviously not stupid, so he immediately sent a signal corps to summon Yanagawa Nao Osaku to come to the brigade headquarters to discuss.
Because they are all on a position with a radius of less than 1.5 square kilometers, the so-called brigade headquarters is only less than 500 meters away from Yanagawa Nao's wing headquarters.
It took Nao Yanagawa more than thirty minutes to get the news.
It's not that this Japanese army is not active, but Liu Lang didn't give him a chance.
After the entire 217th Regiment entered the frontal trenches of the Japanese army almost bloodlessly, Liu Lang, who received the telegram, reconfirmed the coordinates, and after each cannon used a full seven or eight shells to test fire and was confirmed by the artillery observers in the front, he began his performance again.
The Japanese troops who retreated to the second line again carried out a saturation shelling for 20 minutes, but the effect of the shelling was not reported to Liu Lang in time because of the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, and the artillery observers could not see clearly.
But Liu Lang doesn't care at this time, if an artillery bombardment has not cooled the Japanese army, then the solution is obviously to do it again.
It was still early, and even if the Japanese army sent out its air force to bomb it, it was estimated that it would be more than an hour later. Liu Lang did not believe that the Japanese army could be afraid to carry it on flat ground for an hour, especially a group of Japanese soldiers who had lost the will to fight.
Liu Lang guessed correctly, the Japanese troops who fled from the front line to the second-line position actually did not suffer much losses in the trenches, and there were only thirty or forty people killed and injured in the explosion, and the number of troops retracted was as high as more than 500.
But the Japanese infantry who fled back obviously forgot one thing, the ring trench of the second-line position located 200 meters in front of the wing headquarters was not intended for them, it was for the garrison squadron and some heavy machine gun squadron, infantry artillery squadron and other fire support units.
I have always been the only one who attacks my opponent, when have I ever been attacked? Although the Japanese army did complete earthwork in each station in strict accordance with the infantry discipline, and there were both front-line trenches and in-depth defense, from 918 to the Battle of Rehe, the continuous victories still made the Japanese army breed enough arrogance.
The first-line positions may still be fully configured, and even barbed wire was laid in the direction of the Luowenyu Pass, but they were destroyed in the artillery fire, but the defense of the second-line positions was somewhat unsatisfactory.
And more importantly, there is a lack of space, the entire second-line meniscus trench is only more than 900 meters long, and in peacetime there is a garrison squadron with three or four hundred heavy machine guns and infantry guns, so naturally there is no problem.
But what if more than 500 people jumped in regardless of it? That's really, just like a vegetable market, you can bite each other's faces hard if you don't change your face。。。。。。
Of course, this is a joke, but the reality is that each soldier is never more than 1.5 meters apart from each other.
You can squeeze on the subway and bus, and there are unexpected gains, but in the trenches, you can "squeeze" like this, especially when the other side obviously has a curved howitzer, it is really 。。。。。。
As long as a shell falls into the trench, it will take away not ten or eight, but maybe even a squad.
You must know that in the next four years, on the Songhu battlefield where China and Japan gathered millions of troops, if the Japanese 240-caliber naval guns hit the trenches of the Chinese defenders, they could send an infantry platoon into the sky with just one shot. And that is a trench built at least three or four meters apart by the standard of each person.
The 20-minute artillery bombardment commanded by Liu Lang may not have been able to fall into the trench, but once it fell into the trench, it would stir up a bloody storm.
There are at least six curved trenches that can only be described as miserable, and those that are close to the point of impact are of course blown to pieces, and there are stumps and broken flesh within a radius of dozens of meters, but few Japanese soldiers who have been covered with blood are afraid.
It's not that they are bold enough, but they don't have a chance to be afraid, and the energy released by the explosion of the shells rushes along both sides of the trenches, sweeping away the Japanese troops in the trenches thirty or forty meters long, whether you are lying on their stomachs or curled up, except for those who have the opportunity to hide in the anti-artillery holes.
What they once gave to the Chinese soldiers, at this moment, all returned.
In this round of shelling alone, the number of Japanese casualties reached more than 100, and nearly half of the squadron disappeared. If the number of people in the trenches had been reduced to less than 400 men by two more attempts, the Japanese casualties would have fallen.
Because only in this way will there be a long enough distance apart, and it will be difficult to kill twenty or thirty people with one shot.
However, this time the Japanese army was more tenacious than before, and did not collapse and continued to retreat.
First, this is already the last line of defense, and second, if you get out of this only trench, running on flat ground can only die faster, not only the shells that rain down, but also the Chinese who are 400 meters away can have heavy machine guns.
It was against this background that Nao Yanagawa did not dare to come to the brigade headquarters until the artillery fire intermittent.
Kasawara Chuan is not stupid, Yanagawa Nao is not a fool, naturally he does not accept the command of the brigade to death, his reason is very simple, according to the regulations, the brigade headquarters has always accompanied the Kasahara River's wing headquarters on the march, in the heart of the brigade commander, it is obvious that Kasawara Kawa Osa is the first choice.
And Kasahara Chuan also said that he believes that the 17th Infantry Wing, which still has a strength of 2,000 people, is the main force of the brigade, and his infantry wing has only a few hundred people.
The two Japanese soldiers had a red-eared dispute in the command center, and they didn't know the inside story, and they thought that these two were going to fight as usual! But I don't know, these two are staging a not very sincere "Kong Rong makes pears".
I don't know if Mitsu Suzuki, who was still lying on the marching bed next to them, was very sad at this time.
Baga, when did the command of an infantry brigade be disliked like this?
