Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mockery
At this time, the retreating troops were getting closer and closer to them. It was about to rush to their positions. Behind the retreating troops were the three battalions of soldiers in pursuit.
Seeing that his soldiers were reluctant to shoot, Nagagawa Saji immediately yelled and kicked away a Japanese machine gunner.
With his hands on the trigger of the machine gun, he yelled and fired at the retreating Japanese troops.
As the muzzle bullets erupted, the retreating Japanese troops immediately fell dozens of meters in front of him. Seeing that their own wing commanders had fired, the other Japanese soldiers also began to yell and shoot.
There were soldiers inside, and even with tears in their eyes, they opened fire.
The dense firepower network of the Japanese army covered the past in the blink of an eye.
However, these bullets wanted to hit the soldiers of the third battalion in the rear, but they could not directly pass the Japanese troops in front, but had to knock all those Japanese soldiers to the ground.
At the same time, the small-caliber artillery of the Japanese wing level also began to roar at this time.
Sixty-millimeter shells flew straight out of the muzzle and landed in the rear of the pursuing troops of the 3rd Battalion.
However, there were also a lot of shells that bombarded the retreating Edogawa squadron of the Japanese army.
Those soldiers of the Edogawa squadron would never have imagined that they would be bombarded by shells fired by their comrades and fired by Type 92 bullets.
One by one, they fell to the ground, and the soldiers of the three battalions pursuing them had tanks to cover them with, but they had no shelter. Some Japanese troops who were originally retreating were fired at by such ferocious firepower that they even stopped their rout, but directly lay on the ground to avoid bullets.
As a result, although he was not killed by his own bullets, he was re-shot by the soldiers of the third battalion who caught up.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers of the Edogawa squadron fell to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, like wheat harvested by a sickle.
Only this time, it was not the scythe of death that harvested their lives, but the bullets of their own comrades.
When Qin Chuan saw this scene, he immediately gloated.
In fact, these are all expected by him, if Nagagawa Saji does not do this, according to his plan, he will lead his troops to directly penetrate this line of defense of the Japanese army.
That would be a greater rout of the Japanese army, and the results he would be able to achieve would be greater.
Now that he saw that Nagagawa Saji had launched a ruthless attack and shot directly at the retreating Japanese army, Qin Chuan knew that he had no way to expand the results of the battle.
The Japanese army's firepower is still very fierce, and if the four tanks under his command are directly destroyed, there will be no place to replenish them.
So Qin Chuan immediately gave the order to retreat.
The soldiers of the third battalion received the order to retreat, and they were not in love with the battle. After all, the Japanese fire network was clearing the retreating Japanese soldiers, and they began to shoot at them.
They didn't want to charge under the fire of a wing of the Japanese army, which was no different from being sent to their deaths.
At this time, the tank also began to turn around and returned to Ping'an Street.
It was only after the soldiers of the third battalion retreated that Nagagawa Saji stopped shooting.
He looked at the soldiers of the Edogawa squadron who had fallen dozens of meters in front of the position, and felt as if his soul had been pulled out of his body and sat there directly.
Those are the soldiers he has cultivated, as a commander, how can Saji Nagagawa not feel distressed.
And it was he who killed these soldiers.
Not only him, but the other Japanese soldiers also fell into a dead silence at this time. The entire position was as if it had just experienced a carnival, and at this time fell into endless silence.
After a while, Nagagawa Saji struggled to get up from the ground with the support of the soldiers around him, and then ordered: "Collect their corpses!" They are all samurai who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!! ”
After saying this, he was the first to walk out of the position and walked towards the corpses of the Japanese troops in the Edogawa squadron.
Behind him were a large number of Japanese soldiers, who stood up one after another and followed him to rein in the comrades they had killed.
Qin Chuan used a telescope at a high place to look at the Japanese soldiers who were gathering their bodies in the distance, and immediately laughed.
"Look, look, the little devil is probably crying right now!" Qin Chuan said.
"Camp, I estimate that the commander of the little devil on the other side is afraid that he will be angry and bleed." Wang Daliu said as he asked the medical staff to bandage the wound on his arm.
It was a wound cut by the enemy's shrapnel during the battle just now.
The wound was not deep, and in the heat of the battle, he didn't even notice that he was injured, and it wasn't until the end of the battle that he realized that the blood flowing from his arm had stained the entire sleeve.
Qin Chuan said with a smile: "I want to stimulate the commander of the little devil again." With that, he took out a loudspeaker from the system and crawled to the heights.
The Japanese bullets killed many comrades, but not many of them hit the soldiers of the third battalion.
After the body was collected, Nagagawa Saji looked at Ping'an Street again, his eyes were already full of hatred.
He knew that the commander on the other side was very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. The strength of one of their own wings was even counterattacked by them.
After such a wave of attacks, not only did they not make any progress, but also lost the strength of more than 200 people in an entire squadron.
At this time, a voice came from the direction of Ping'an Street.
Qin Chuan was holding a big bullhorn and was shouting in Japanese from a high place.
"Your Excellency Saji Nagagawa! I was shocked to hear that Your Excellency was heroic and decisive, and today's battle was really extraordinary. In the face of his own soldiers, he was able to shoot without hesitation, which is really a model of a soldier and a model of my generation! ”
Nagagawa Saji heard these words clearly, and suddenly trembled with anger.
He finally understood why Commander-in-Chief Matsui Ishine was in a hurry in the face of the battalion commander of the national army in this district, and repeatedly carried out impatient attacks.
Because the bastard commander on the other side is simply full of taunt skills. Always trying to provoke you and make you desperate to cut off his head.
As a result, he fell into the trap he had set in advance.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, don't be impatient, the enemy is using the method of agitation." The staff officer next to him said.
Nagagawa Saji took a few deep breaths before he suppressed the anger in his heart.
But as soon as he suppressed it, he heard Qin Chuan's voice coming again.
