Chapter 169: Bloodstained Yalu River

"Attack!"

Major General Naofumi, commander of the 10th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, drew his command knife and issued a combat order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After receiving the order, I saw more than 4,000 Japanese troops of the 10th Brigade slowly advancing towards the Yalu River, and the interesting thing is that among the more than 4,000 Japanese troops, every 10 Japanese soldiers carried a small wooden boat together, which also made the advance of the 10th Brigade very slow.

In the forward command post of a regiment of the Eighth Division of the Han Army opposite, regiment commander Zheng Youguang held a telescope and looked at the more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers who were slowly advancing on the opposite side with a serious face.

The Japanese army chose the direction of Zheng Youguang's regiment as the direction of attack, which brought a lot of pressure to Zheng Youguang, Zheng Youguang's regiment only had more than 1,400 people, while the Japanese army on the opposite side had more than 4,000 people, nearly three times the Han army, which was the pressure brought by the number of people.

However, Zheng Youguang believed that no matter how many Japanese troops there were, they would not be able to break through the defense line of his regiment.

"Pass the order, let the little devil cross the river and then fire, don't scare the little devil away."

"Yes, Captain."

In Zheng Youguang's sight, more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers of the 10th Brigade of the Japanese Army had come to the Yalu River, and they had not stopped, and walked directly into the river for a distance, and the wooden boat was also pushed into the water by the Japanese army, and the legs of the Japanese soldiers were already soaked in the water, and then on average, seven or eight Japanese soldiers boarded a wooden boat, picked up the wood pulp and began rowing, and the Japanese soldiers who did not board the wooden boat helped push the wooden boat forward for a distance until the lower half of the Japanese army was submerged in the river, and then turned back and walked towards the river bank.

On the river, more than 400 wooden boats carrying more than 3,000 Japanese troops slowly sailed to the opposite side, and the Japanese soldiers on the wooden boats rowed hard with wooden pulp, and at this moment the Japanese soldiers had a trace of excitement in their hearts, excited about to step into the rich land that the commander said, but they were also very afraid in their hearts, afraid that the Chinese on the opposite side would fire artillery into the river, and they could not dodge the shells in the river.

Fortunately, after a few minutes, the Han army still did not open fire, and the Japanese troops at the front were ready to land immediately.

Major General Lijian Shangwen was also excited about his subordinates about to land on the other side, and Major General Lijian Shangwen confidently believed that as long as his subordinates could successfully land on the other side, they would definitely be able to defeat the Han army on the opposite side, but Major General Shangwen also had a trace of doubt in his heart: The artillery positions were bombarded by the Han army's artillery fire before, why did I say that the imperial army crossed the river without any artillery bombardment? Could it be that the Han army is running out of shells?

Seeing that his subordinates had landed on the opposite bank, Major General Immediately ordered Lieutenant General Katsura Taro to support the artillery wing of the 10th Brigade, well, the artillery wing that had been damaged by the Han artillery, and pulled out their artillery to cover his subordinates' attack on the Han position.

The Japanese soldiers who had already landed on the opposite bank, under the command of their respective captains and wings, began to line up neatly on the shore, preparing to attack the Han position.

"The heavy machine guns are divided into two waves, shooting alternately, and the mortars don't give me shells, they all hit me hard."

Although only half of the more than 30 heavy machine guns of Zheng Youguang's regiment were firing, with the ultra-fast rate of fire of the heavy machine guns in the rainstorm, countless bullets were sprinkled like a torrential rain into the Japanese troops who had not yet lined up 500 meters away.

Da! Da! Da!

"Kill, little devils are going to die for me!" The Han heavy machine gunner controlled the heavy machine gun and shouted frantically.

However, from the Han position to the riverside, there was no obstacle at all, and the Japanese army was so violent. Exposed in the sight of the Han army, the Japanese troops who had just landed were still in formation, preparing to use the platoon gun tactics to attack the Han army's position.

The next moment, the lives of rows of Japanese soldiers were consumed by the scorching bullets, and the Japanese soldiers did not even have a chance to resist, they had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"Ahhhh Major General Tsumi Shangwen shouted angrily when he saw his subordinates lying in a pool of blood.

Rumble!

This is not the sound of the Japanese artillery wing firing, but the 75-mm field artillery of the Han army on the opposite side bombarding the Japanese artillery positions that have just been built, there is no doubt that the "eye of the sky" of the Han army will contain everything in the eyes, of course, if the Japanese artillery is too old and the firing range is relatively close, it will not be covered by the Han artillery fire again and again.

On the other side of the battlefield, more than 30 60mm mortars of Zheng Youguang's regiment also joined the ranks of massacring the Japanese army, and the 60mm mortars with a rate of fire exceeding the rate of fire continuously hit the Japanese army crowd and harvested a large number of Japanese soldiers' lives.

"Withdraw, withdraw." As soon as they saw that the situation was not good, the two Japanese army captains on the riverside immediately issued an order to retreat, and they even took the lead in sitting in a wooden boat and personally picked up the wooden pulp and rowed the boat to escape.

Bang!

It's a pity that the sharpshooters of the Han army have already stared at them, and the captain of the Japanese army who took the lead obviously gave the Han army sharpshooters a chance, and several Han sharpshooters joined forces, and the two Japanese army captains died so much that they could not die anymore.

"Run, run, as long as we escape to the other side, we will survive."

The Japanese soldiers who did not get off the boat on the river hurriedly rowed backwards, wanting to flee for their lives, but the condescending Han soldiers did not give them this opportunity, the heavy rain heavy machine gun has an effective range of up to one thousand meters, and can shoot all the enemies within this distance, even if the heavy rain heavy machine gun misses a few enemies, the Han sharpshooters will replenish their guns one by one, follow Zheng Youguang's order, and not let go of an enemy.

More than 3,000 Japanese soldiers suffered heavy damage, most of them were damaged in just a few minutes, and many Japanese soldiers completely collapsed, collapsed to the ground, and were shot dead by the Han army, and some Japanese soldiers jumped directly into the river and swam to the opposite bank.

However, some Japanese soldiers were also ruthless enough, using the corpses of their own soldiers who had been killed in battle as cover to launch a counterattack against the Han army, so that Zheng Youguang's regiment suffered a large number of casualties for the first time since the day it was founded.

However, the resistance of the Japanese army could only end here, under the heavy machine gun fire and mortar bombardment, there was no longer a single Japanese soldier standing in the narrow place by the river, even the Japanese soldiers who jumped into the Yalu River were also named by the Han sharpshooters.

As the commander-in-chief, Xiao Yao once gave an order: there is no need for any prisoners, only death is their best destination.

Zheng Youguang's regiment fulfilled Xiao Yao's instructions very well, and even if some Japanese soldiers had given up resistance, the Han soldiers would knock them down with one shot.

The battle came so suddenly, and ended so quickly, that almost all of the more than 3,000 Japanese 10th Brigade were wiped out, and only a handful of them were able to escape.

The corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the riverside were all over the field, and the blood of the Japanese soldiers gathered together and slowly flowed into the Yalu River, and the river was stained red by the blood of the Japanese soldiers...... (To be continued.) )
