Chapter 13, The Knife Unsheathed
Although Li Shunsheng only brought more than 30 people, the soldiers of the teaching corps were basically elite, so they could somewhat relieve the current pressure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Soon, the Japanese came again, and they walked through the cover of their own artillery fire and the countless bunkers they had made in the street, although from time to time Japanese soldiers were shot and fell, but more Japanese soldiers still slowly approached.
After the artillery fire stopped, the two sides were already very close.
Li Shunsheng raised the gun in his hand, took aim, and then pulled the trigger, and a military officer who led the team fell directly to the ground, arousing the vigilance of the soldiers behind him. Within ten seconds, a bomb dropped by a grenadier exploded at the location where Lee Shun-sang had been. After waiting for a few more seconds, the Japanese soldiers moved on again. Li Shunsheng once again raised his gun and aimed at the Japanese soldier who had just used a grenadier, because this kind of veteran who could skillfully use a grenadier was very dangerous, and this kind of person on the front line was a target that needed to be disposed of as a priority as a commander.
Since it was an urban battle, the Japanese command did not stupidly give the stupid order to let the entire wing rush into the city, but let the soldiers enter the city in a network in small units. Because they knew that the strength of their own army was higher than that of the other side, they were very comfortable using this tactic, but this situation was too uncomfortable for the national army.
Although they are full of patriotic enthusiasm and anti-Japanese fighting spirit, but their individual combat ability is really not comparable to that of Japanese soldiers, and now they can rely on the surrounding buildings to fight against the Japanese, but when the Japanese are familiar with this area, their advantage will immediately disappear.
Although it is only a matter of time before you retreat, it is still possible to destroy several more enemies in the period before retreating.
Li Shunsheng shoots a shot to change places, although every shot will gain something, but no more than 20 seconds after each shot is fired, there will always be a bomb falling where he is, this kind of thing is enough, Li Shunsheng heard in his previous life that the Japanese were very strong in the early days of the war, but do you want to do this.
The Japanese soldiers advanced steadily, while the Nationalists put up a difficult resistance.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army retreated, and the bombing of the planes came, and Li Shunsheng and the others also got precious rest.
"It's so uncomfortable, these little devils are really.... It's..."Dong Sheng muttered in a low voice, as if he was a little unconvinced.
"It's amazing, isn't it? It's a fact. Li Shunsheng patted him on the shoulder: "What do you say?" Just remember not to underestimate the Japanese at all times, even when you have the upper hand. ā
"Oh," Dong Sheng nodded in understanding.
"In that case, won't we fight with the Japanese in the future, just admit defeat, right?" The battalion commander frowned and said, obviously feeling unhappy that Li Shunsheng had raised the combat effectiveness of the Japanese so much.
Li Shunsheng was not angry: "The Japanese are strong, that's a fact; It is also true that we have to fight the Japanese army that invaded our country. Isn't it? The battalion commander was silent for a long time before slowly raising a sentence: "You're right. ā
Aircraft and artillery baptized the land, and both buildings and fortifications were destroyed in such bombardment. A Japanese officer with the rank of major general held a telescope and looked at the position that had fallen into a sea of fire in the distance, the corners of his mouth did not turn up slightly, he did not believe that such a bombardment could not completely destroy the fighting spirit of the Chinese army on the opposite side.
"Your Excellency, the headquarters is in an emergency."
After "Nian" handed the telescope to his adjutant, the Japanese major general began to listen to his adjutant report orders from the headquarters.
"Urgent telegram from the headquarters: Major General Mushan, the headquarters hopes that your troops will conquer Baoshan Road as soon as possible and occupy the Shanghai Railway Station before ten o'clock in the evening."
"Let's draw up a combat mission according to the orders of the command." Mu Shan waved his hand and motioned for the adjutant to go down and make arrangements.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Mu Shan looked at the land that had turned into ruins, and his eyes swelled with longing: "What a beautiful and moving place, I must take Shanghai in the palm of my hand as a congratulatory gift to His Majesty the Emperor." With that, he took off his major general uniform and changed into a combat uniform.
Neither the adjutant nor the staff officer stopped this young young major general who was bent on going his own way, so they had to let it go, and at most send some more people to protect him.
After the bombardment, the Japanese continued their attack, this time with a more ferocious attack than the previous ones. Because the Japanese have decided to take down this small Bao'an Road position at all costs, and their wing commander, Major General Mushan, is watching them, and they can't help those commanders to care about the casualties of their subordinates.
Suddenly, the Nationalist troops in the position felt great pressure, and the people who had been scattered in various buildings to fight with the Japanese soldiers in the streets also gathered and entered the position to prevent the position from being breached.
But Li Shunsheng and his soldiers didn't do that, because they didn't have many people in the first place, so they only had to be responsible for getting rid of the officers, machine gunners and so on both sides.
Li Shunsheng killed a military cao with a command knife with a "snap", and he no longer knew how many Japanese he had killed. Because it was the first time he really killed someone, he was still a little uncomfortable, and numbly pulling the trigger seemed to have become his instinct.
"Huh?" Suddenly, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared outside the battlefield in his scope, to be precise, a group of Japanese soldiers protecting an officer. Li Shunsheng suddenly became a little excited, he licked his lips and silently tried to aim his gun at the Japanese officer who was being protected.
However, the other party was really tightly protected, Li Shunsheng waited for a long time and didn't find a chance, he didn't shoot rashly, in case he alarmed his prey and scared it away, it would be bad. Li Shunsheng gestured, and all the people under him quietly gathered.
"Platoon commander, what's wrong?"
"I found a big fish, and it's hard for one person to do it."
Everyone's eyes are bright, and the 'big fish' often represents a lot of military exploits.
"Everyone obeyed the order and began the hunting operation."
"Yes." A group of people quietly left the battlefield that was in full swing at this time, and began to go to the place where Li Shunsheng found the Japanese officer, and directly launched an attack. Caught off guard, the Japanese soldiers suffered a big loss immediately, but after the initial confusion, they quickly organized a counterattack.
"Which unit of the Chinese army on the other side can actually fight on a par with our Imperial Japanese Army." Yamaki asked his adjutant calmly, he didn't believe that the Chinese soldier who was only a small squad could help himself.
The adjutant thought for a moment and replied, "Your Excellency, they should be the elite troops of the National Government. ā
"Oh? It's that army that is basically composed of cadets, and it's really powerful, if it takes another ten years, our Great Japanese Empire may not be able to defeat this ancient country, but it's a pity that they don't have ten years anymore. Mushan sighed.
Unfortunately, it was soon discovered that his soldiers had completely fallen into the disadvantage, and he and his lieutenant were soon left alone.
Of course, it was not their luck, but Li Shunsheng's request to spare them a dog's life, and he would collect it.
Li Shunsheng walked out slowly with a katana in his hand, the knife in his hand was the one that the Japanese killed Lei Hu, and when he was marching, he took the opportunity to pay homage to Lei Hu, and by the way, he also brought this katana that was buried in the ground for two years and was still as new.
Li Shunsheng pointed at Mu Shan and hooked his index finger, signaling that he wanted to fight him one-on-one, and at the same time, the adjutant next to Mu Shan was shot in the head by Dong Sheng, because the pistol in the other party's hand was tightened.
"Come on, no one bothers us now." Li Shunsheng said in broken Japanese. Now that there was no choice for Kiyama, he slowly pulled out his katana, ready to pull a cushion before he died.
"Ah..... Go to hell. He roared and pounced on Li Shunsheng like a hungry tiger. The two of them passed by, Li Shunsheng calmly put away the knife, while Mu Shan fell weakly. In the dark, Kiyama remembered the cherry blossom trees in his hometown, and the beautiful and gentle girl under the cherry blossom trees who was still waiting for him to come home.
It didn't take long for the battle on the battlefield ahead to end, because of the unexpected death of their wing commander, so the Japanese soldiers had to temporarily retreat and wait for the next arrangement.
