Chapter 46: A Little Test (Part II)
No one could answer Kiichi Kuroshima, and the adjutant said with a shocked and panicked expression: "Sir, well, it seems to be the tank and combat vehicle unit of the Shina Army." ”
Before the adjutant could speak, a shocking and terrifying scene happened to them.
Behind the huge Chinese tank fighting vehicles, a large number of scorching flames suddenly burst out, forming a very dense network of firepower, roaring towards the crowd of attackers.
Immediately after that, Kuroshima Kiichi and the others saw a scene that they would never forget, just listening to the whoosh, those tongues of fire composed of countless bullets shot into the crowd of their own attackers.
Puff puff puff...... The Japanese cavalrymen of the 1st Brigade were shot one after another, and they fell down in patches like harvested wheat.
Moreover, Kuroshima was shocked to find that the dense bullets fired by these squadrons were very powerful, and some of the bullets hit the imperial cavalry, and they actually punched their bodies into holes the size of fists.
What's more, because the soldier who was hit by that kind of powerful bullet in a row, his entire body was cut in two from the position of the bullet.
There were also some unlucky Japanese soldiers who were shot in the head, and the whole head burst open like a watermelon that had been shattered by a heavy blow, and became a headless corpse.
Thousands of soldiers on their own side were hit by a wave of dense firepower from the opponent, and nearly a third fell, and dozens of tanks and armored combat vehicles hanging the ** battle flag had already been killed from the oblique spurs.
Kuroshima Kiichi Nakasa and others finally came back to their senses.
The adjutant hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, we are in ambush, the firepower of the tank and armored units of the Chinese army is too fierce, and it is not something that our cavalry can compete with at all, you better withdraw first!" ”
Although Kuroshima Kiichi was very unwilling to abandon his troops and run away alone, he looked at the powerful steel torrent composed of the Tiger Tank and the No. 4 Tank, and was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly turned around and ran.
Xu Wen's purpose was to annihilate the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry and frustrate the spirit of the 6th Division, so as soon as he came up, he concentrated all his firepower on the main force of the Japanese cavalry on foot.
For Kuroshima Kiichi and the others, they didn't pay attention to it at all.
Therefore, several subordinates, including Kiichi Kuroshima and the adjutant, were lucky enough to escape.
However, his more than a thousand cavalry were not so lucky, with fifteen armored vehicles and thirty anti-aircraft army vehicles rushing up one after another.
Under the shroud of a powerful crossfire network composed of dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, the devil cavalry fell into an unprecedented desperate situation.
Bombarded by countless torrents of bullets, they were powerless to fight back, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.
With the cooperation of a regiment of forward defenders, Xu Wen and others took less than ten minutes to completely annihilate all the devils of the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
More than 1,000 devil cavalry, except for a few people such as Kuroshima Muichi who escaped in advance, the rest became the guns of the soldiers of the independent brigade, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.
On the way back with a few followers, Kiichi Kuroshima first met Wing Commander Inoki Kindaisa, who led the main force of the 6th Cavalry Wing to follow.
"Kuroshima-kun, why are there just a few of you? What about your troops? After the meeting, the commander of the 6th Cavalry Wing, Inogi, asked with a confused expression.
Kuroshima Kiichi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly with a look of shame, walked up to Inoki near Taisa, and bowed his head sharply and said: "Wing Commander, I am incompetent, the 1st Brigade was attacked by the tank armored unit of the Shina Army when it attacked on foot, and it was too late to retreat, and the enemy was attacked on its back, and the whole army was annihilated!" ”
"Eight Tooth Road!" When Inoki heard that the most elite 1st Brigade under his command, thousands of cavalry were gone, he couldn't help but be furious, and couldn't help but raise his hand to slap Kuroshima Kiichi on the left side of his face.
"How do you command? In such a short period of time, a cavalry brigade of thousands of people was wiped out, how can you still have the face to come back? ”
Kuroshima Muyi was ashamed of being sprayed, and hurriedly nodded: "Haii!" What the chief taught is that if you are lowly and apologize, you will apologize! ”
Saying that, this guy Kuroshima Kiichi actually pulled out his saber and was about to commit suicide by seppuku in front of Kinta Inoki and others.
The chief of staff of the cavalry next to him stopped him: "Kuroshima Nakasa is slow!" ”
Kuroshima is a person who has no place to be sprayed, so he will draw his knife, and now someone stops him, and he can't ask for it in his heart, so the movement in his hand immediately stopped.
The cavalry staff officer met the puzzled and serious gaze of the wing commander Inoki Jinta, and persuaded: "Sir, the matter has come to this, and the top priority at the moment is to find out the specific situation of the tank and armored forces of the Chinese army as soon as possible!"
I think that if the division commander learns about this, he will definitely ask Kuroshima-kun to go to the headquarters to report the details, so Kuroshima Nakasa can't die yet. ”
Inoki nodded slightly when he heard this, and felt that what the staff officer said made sense, so he scolded Kuroshima: "Go and report the situation to the division commander yourself!" As for whether the crime is punished or not, it is all up to the division commander to deal with! ”
"Hay!" Kuroshima hurriedly bowed his head, put away his saber, turned around and mounted his horse and rode back.
At that time, Gu Shoufu and other members of the headquarters of the 6th Division led the main forces of the division, which was less than 15 miles away from Wuxi.
So Kuroshima Kiichi rode a horse and quickly met the convoy where Gu Shoufu was, and when he came to a wheeled armored car that Gu Shoufu was riding, he shouted loudly: "Where is the division commander, there is an urgent military situation report!" ”
Chief of Staff Takutoshi Osa, who was in the same car with Tani Shofu, heard the sound and immediately ordered to stop, and took the lead in pushing the door from the armored car and walked down.
Seeing Kuroshima Kiichi asked, "Nakasa, what's the matter with you?" ”
Seeing Tian Kuroku Toshio, Kuroshima Kiichi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted forward: "Sir, I am the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Cavalry Wing, Kuroshima Kiichi, my troops were ambushed by the armored troops of the Shina Army outside Wuxi City, and the entire cavalry brigade was lost.
I wanted to apologize, but the Wing Commander ordered me to report the details to you and His Excellency the Division Commander. ”
Hearing this, Gu Shoufu, who was originally closing his eyes in the armored car, opened his eyes in vain, got up and stepped out of the armored car, and when he saw Kuroshima Kiichi, two sharp eyes shot out of his narrow eyes, and Rin asked in a voice: "What did you say?" ”
Facing the division commander Gu Shoufu, who was not angry and arrogant, Kuroshima Mu felt the pressure, did not dare to look at each other in a tone, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Returning to the commander, the command mistake of the humble position caused the 1st Cavalry Brigade to mistakenly enter the ambush of the Chinese army, and the losses were complete, please punish the general!" ”
Gu Shoufu continued to ask in an indifferent voice: "You just said that it was the chariot unit of the Shina Army that ambushed you?" ”
"Yes, General!"
"And how many tank fighting vehicles do they have? What about firepower? Gu Shoufu continued to ask.
