Chapter 73: Escape from the Battle (2nd Watch)

"General!"

Not far from the Engineer School, there were more than forty corpses in an open field, all of which belonged to Japanese soldiers.

As for the rest of the Japanese troops, they were either machine gunners, grenadiers, or officers.

Without exception, they were all shot in the head, and looking at the bullet holes on their foreheads, the Japanese soldiers around them couldn't help but be a little scared when they saw it.

Many of them were also in the queue for attack just now, and it seems that they are lucky to survive.

Maruyama Masao approached with the support of a group of officers and soldiers, and looked at the rows of corpses on the ground, also a little shocked. Especially the head that was shot, he couldn't help but look around, for fear that someone would hide from the cold gun.

"Ohara-kun, do you mean that these are all caused by the so-called 'Shina Demon'? What is he capable of? ”

The veterans of the 6th Brigade around me muttered in their hearts, is it true that you don't know yet? If it weren't for the fact that the former brigade commander was killed like this, it would not have been your turn to be the brigade commander.

"Hey!" Ohara Nakasa nodded, "These Imperial warriors were all shot in the head, we have carefully observed, most of them are 6.5×50mm Arisaka rifle cartridges produced by the Empire.

The rifles used by the opposite Chinese army were all German-style 7.9mm caliber rifles, and under normal circumstances, no one would use the Empire's 6.5×50mm Arisaka rifle cartridges, and the Chinese demon used the two captured Type 38 sniper rifles.

And such an obvious bullet in the head is also the favorite way of killing that Shina demon, and we have reason to suspect that that Shina demon is in the opposite position. ”

"Didn't you say that the demon of China had withdrawn from Nanjing with the tax police corps?" Maruyama Masao roared.

Ohara Nakasa was also a little embarrassed, "General, I don't know. But apart from the demon of China, we really can't think of anyone who is more suitable for the people of China. ”

"That's why you stopped attacking? You know that because of your halted offensive, our brigade lost an excellent opportunity to break through the positions of the Chinese people. ”

"Hey!" Ohara Nakasa and other veteran officers of the Sixth Brigade were suddenly silent.

There is no way, only those who have experienced it before in Yunzaobang and the south bank of Suzhou Creek know the horror of the demon of China, and no one knows where the life-threatening bullet will come from.

It could be 100 meters away, or it could be 300 meters, 400 meters, or even seven or eight hundred meters away.

At first, the other party was like a ghost, but as more and more people died under the other party's gun, the ghost could no longer describe the other party.

That's why there is a demon.

Those who were targeted by the devil, but survived by luck, are boasting, as if it is a thing worth celebrating.

Maruyama Masao has not experienced it after all, and the death of the former brigade commander is even more unjust.

The other party just came to the front line to inspect it, across a river, how far it was, six or seven hundred meters must have it, but he was still shot.

Seeing this group of people, a Chinese soldier was too frightened to attack, Maruyama Masao was also a little angry, "Yaga, a group of cowards. ”

The Wing Commander of the 7th Infantry Wing next to him suggested, "General, I propose to apply to the division commander for tactical support from the artillery wing. ”

Seeing a group of people like this, Maruyama Masao was also helpless, so he could only send a report to the division headquarters.

At first, he thought that Yoshizumi Ryosuke would oppose it, but the other party agreed quickly, and even the artillery wing did not object, but took the initiative to mobilize all the artillery.

Can the artillery wing have objections?

It is estimated that the one who wants to kill Leng Jie the most, the Ninth Mountain Artillery Wing of the Ninth Division will definitely be in the top three.

The artillery wing was almost disbanded by Leng Jie before, and the former wing captain also died in Leng Jie's hands, so when he heard that the 'Zhina Demon' was on the other side, it didn't matter if it was true or not, he would pull the artillery up and bomb it in turn.

。。。。。。

The position of the Engineer School, in the underground warehouse of the previous school, Xie Chengrui's regimental headquarters was set up here.

At this time, the sound of artillery fire outside shook the sky, and in addition to the artillery on the ground, the fighters in the sky were also raging, constantly dropping aerial bombs.

Even in the underground headquarters, feeling the artillery fire on their heads, their faces were very heavy. No one can have the confidence to hold on under such heavy fire.

A veteran of the teaching regiment ran to the underground headquarters out of breath and reported to Xie Chengrui, "Regiment commander, our battalion commander was seriously injured by the enemy's artillery fire, and the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, we can't stand it." ”

"What?" Xie Chengrui slapped heavily on the table, "Guard Company, follow me!" ”

Xie Chengrui took the guard company out of the command headquarters, and under the fierce enemy artillery fire, he came to the position of the second battalion along the trench.

As soon as I arrived at the position of the second battalion, I saw the second battalion commander Wu Youyuan lying in a pool of blood, with blurred flesh and blood on his body, and the two medical soldiers next to him were always trying to rescue him.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and send Battalion Commander Wu to the regiment headquarters for treatment. Xie Chengrui yelled.

"Yes!"

Xie Chengrui looked at the demoralized officers and soldiers of the second battalion, and immediately shouted, "Deputy battalion commander!" ”

"Here!" An embarrassed major ran over.

Xie Chengrui pointed at the other party, "From now on, you are the acting battalion commander of the second battalion." Hold my ground for me, or don't blame me for not thinking about my comrades. ”

"Don't worry, Commander! Swear to live and die with the position! The deputy battalion commander saluted.

"What about the casualties of the troops? What about the three companies? ”

"Report to the head of the regiment, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and the brothers can't bear it. The fourth and sixth companies were fine, the situation of the fifth company was a little worse, and the commander of the fifth company was killed. ”

"Then let the deputy company commander act as the company commander and hold the position for me."

"But..." The deputy battalion commander was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Xie Chengrui's face was not very good-looking.

"Report to the regiment commander, the deputy company commander of the fifth company is the person you brought back from the tax police corps, is it appropriate for him to act as the company commander?" The deputy battalion commander hesitated.

"Him?" Xie Chengrui remembered the person he brought back two days ago, "He is a captain, and from now on, he is the company commander of the fifth company." Remember, not a deputy, it's a formal company commander. No matter which unit he was in before, from now on, he is the one we teach the general team. ”

"Yes!"

The deputy battalion commander looked solemn.

At this moment, someone next to him shouted, "Commander, look! ”

Xie Chengrui hurriedly looked to the right, which was the position of the 260 Brigade of the 87th Division, only to see that the Japanese army did not know when it had rushed into the position of the 260 Brigade, and the 260 Brigade did not resist much.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the Japanese army was like entering a no-man's land, Xie Chengrui hurriedly came to the observation post and took out his binoculars.

Suddenly, the commander of the third battalion, who was close to the position of the 260th Brigade, ran over, "Commander, it's not good, the 260th Brigade has run away!" ”

"Ran away?"

Xie Chengrui stayed there with the whole person, two German weapons regiments of the 260 Brigade, and the Japanese army had only been attacking for two or three hours, so he ran away?
