Chapter 143: Beheading Gu Shoufu (II)
The whistling sound of "woo woo woo ......" was like a bell to open the gates of hell, and the sensitive Tokutaro Shikai heard it for the first time, and instinctively raised his head, his face pale and bloodless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The explosion of "boom boom boom ......" was more terrifying than the previous attack in the 6th Division, and the huge power tore many Japanese troops at the center of the explosion to pieces, and the moment many people died was also the moment they were burned.
The Sixth Division, which had barely managed to maintain its formation before, was completely out of control under such a terrifying tear, and many soldiers howled in horror to dodge, and the center of the explosion was like a terrifying devouring black hole, devouring life one by one.
However, this is only the beginning, the second wave of twenty-four rockets hit again, how can they compare with the speed of the rockets, many fleeing Japanese troops were also swallowed up on the spot, and the panic is spreading sharply.
Although the Sixth Division had not yet had time to cause the Nanjing Massacre, they were guilty of many crimes in North China, killing many innocent people, and this unit was inhumane in its bones. This time, too, they finally tasted the ravages of slaughter.
After the second wave of attacks, then the third, fourth, and fifth waves, until ten tornadoes, one hundred and twenty rockets were launched, and the long march, which stretched for several kilometers, could not be completely covered, but could not escape the fate of heavy damage. In particular, some key areas were calculated by Wei Qidong, and the artillery and baggage that had not been completely destroyed before were taken care of.
What's even more tragic is Gu Shoufu, because he was injured, he was urgently carried aside for treatment, and before he could regain his mobility, a tornado blew over, and Gu Shoufu, together with the military doctor who treated him, was blown to pieces on the spot, and his body was also roasted on the spot. This fate couldn't be more suitable for him.
Tokutaro Shikai lay on the ground crying and wailing, one of his left legs had been blown off, a shrapnel was stuck in his abdomen, his body was covered in blood, and the pain was so great that he almost passed out. Because of the chaos of the scene, and the clothes on Tokutaro Shikai were torn off by the powerful tearing force of the shock wave, his subordinates didn't recognize him for a while, and they were still rummaging around.
Now no one counts how much the Sixth Division lost under the continuous attacks of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, but with their current situation, the march may not work, a large number of wounded, almost destroyed supplies, extremely short of medicines and medical personnel, and other problems are all placed in front of the remaining troops. Even if they didn't even have time to take care of themselves, how could the Sixth Division accomplish their previous predetermined goals.
However, the news of the attack of the 6th Division was immediately reported to the Central China Front Headquarters, and the commander of the Central China Front, Matsui Ishone, was greatly shocked when he learned the news, and immediately ordered the 18th Division and the 114th Division, which were outflanked by the other way, to take precautions in case of a surprise attack by Wei Qidong.
The 18th Division had just been transferred from North China, and its commander was Sadao Ushijima, who had been brutalized some time ago because the division had carried out the orders of Shouichi Terauchi.
As a result, Wei Qidong took revenge on Japan, focusing on taking care of the formation of several wings of the division, and when the news reached the 18th Division, the division almost went on the spot, and many people shouted for redoubling their revenge. However, they were forcibly suppressed by the Japanese military department, and even transferred them back to the garrison to rest for a while, and then they were sent south to participate in the military operation in Shanghai.
It can be said that this division was holding back the fire in its belly, and the Japanese military headquarters did not report how much they had lost in the several cities they were attacked, and they did not know whether any of their relatives had died in the attack. Perhaps they didn't know that their relatives had died, or maybe they were lucky that the casualties did not include their own relatives, so the Japanese troops of the 18th Division did not dare to disobey the orders of the base camp to retaliate.
Of course, there is another reason, the orders issued by the Japanese headquarters this time are very strict, and violators will be sent directly to military courts, regardless of rank. It can be seen that the Japanese base camp is still quite afraid of Wei Qidong, who can also be ruthless.
With an extremely depressed mood to support the Shanghai operation, the 18th Division can be said to have a raging fire in their hearts. However, before they had officially entered the battle, just on the way to the interception, they learned that the friendly 6th Division and the Kunisaki detachment, which had been outflanked by the other road, had been attacked and suffered heavy losses. Moreover, it was their old enemies, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, who attacked.
"...... Baga" Hearing this news, the 18th Division was extremely sad and indignant, and they couldn't wait to appear in front of Wei Qidong immediately and tear him apart.
However, Ushijima Sadao, who was the commander of the division, did not condone his subordinates, because he was from Kumamoto Prefecture and Wei Qidong had not attacked Kumamoto Prefecture, so he had no relatives affected. After Wei Qidong and Japan appraised the "Tokyo Secret Treaty", the Japanese military department took into account that some Japanese troops often had the habit of having some afterplay, so they urgently recalled some generals whose hometowns had been attacked.
Because of this, Ushijima Sadao retained his position as division commander, and he knew very well that the military headquarters was killing chickens to show monkeys, and until the Japanese army found a way to deal with Wei Qidong, the military headquarters would not allow the Japanese army to violate the "Tokyo Secret Treaty" on this point. Otherwise, without Wei Qidong's retaliation, the military department will also punish him severely, and Sadao Ushijima, who has seen things very thoroughly, naturally knows what to do.
In order to prevent the 6th Division from following in the footsteps, Sadao Ushijima immediately asked the troops to suspend the march and immediately set up anti-aircraft fire. The 114th Division on the other road, under the leadership of the division commander Shigeji Suematsu, also immediately took precautions.
Wei Qidong also knew that once he attacked one Japanese army, the other Japanese army would definitely take precautions. However, Wei Qidong still decided to take a risk and try it, and the ammunition was not equipped with Hydra rockets, and all of them were equipped with Hellfire missiles.
After learning the approximate location of the other Japanese army from Sun Yue, Tang Xinyi and Wei Qidong drove the Apache to search and have a general target area, and the Japanese army's target was very large, so it was naturally not very difficult to find it in the air. Far away, Wei Qidong saw through the telescope the Japanese army's snake-like team and a huge plaster flag.
Because he knew that the Japanese army was likely to take precautions, Wei Qidong didn't let Tang Xinyi get too close, and there was a distance of six or seven kilometers from the Japanese army's formation, and then Wei Qidong began to observe.
"The little devil's radio station is almost all turned off, and it seems that there is some precaution, for fear that we will target the radio area." After searching for a while, Wei Qidong said.
"In that case, maybe their anti-aircraft weapons have been set up and could attack at any time." Tang Xinyi said.
"Just try it...... Wei Qidong said with a smile, and then as soon as he pressed the launch button, the two hellfires quickly rushed out, attacking according to the important target area he had envisioned.
The two Hellfires flew in a spiral around the air, quickly rushing from the flanks towards the formation of the 18th Division.
With two "booms", two hellfires exploded directly at the seven-inch position of the long serpentine, and Wei Qidong watched as the road was blown off, and many Japanese soldiers were sent to the sky.
After the two hellfires were sent out, Wei Qidong did not stop attacking, and quickly launched two more hellfires, but in another direction. There were two explosions, the baggage team of the 18th Division was hit, several cars exploded on the spot, and some mules and horses jumped out of control in fright, trying to break free and escape.
