Chapter 659 Attack (II)

It hasn't rained any time these days. Out of prudence, Bai Lang put the armored cars at the front of the team, the tanks at the back of the team, and the trucks carrying the infantry in the middle, the infantry was not very numerous, but it was the size of two infantry companies, in addition, there was a 'door' field gun dragged behind each truck, this was the first actual combat of the armored brigade, Bai Lang had to be cautious.

Soon, the armored assault detachment approached the village where the Japanese arsenal was hidden, and several scouts lurking on the side of the road saw the armored troops approaching from a distance, so they hurried up and made contact with Bai Lang.

Bai Lang caused the armored assault detachment to temporarily stop advancing, and on the hood of an armored car, he spread the topographical map of the village drawn by the scouts, and discussed the attack plan with the scouts.

A few minutes later, the plan of attack was finalized, and Bai Lang ordered the infantry to get out of the car and let the artillery choose artillery positions on both sides of the road. In order to cover the retreat of armored vehicles in the event of an unfavorable situation, and to leave an infantry platoon to protect the artillery positions, after everything was arranged, Bai Lang officially gave the order to attack.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The tank started its engine again and, like an armored car, 'touched' the village a kilometer away, accompanied by infantry.

……

Meanwhile, in the nameless hamlet, a Japanese infantry lieutenant was directing soldiers to load the wagons with 'medicine'.

The Japanese infantry second lieutenant named Itagaki Seishiro, a native of Iwate Prefecture, Japan, because he was born in a scholar family, he received a strict education since he was a child, and later studied in the Sendai Army Infant School and the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in Japan, participated in the Russo-Japanese War, fought against the Russian army in Lushun, Shenyang and other places, after the war, Itagaki Seishiro was once stationed in Lushun with the troops, after the outbreak of the Korean anti-Japanese uprising, Itagaki Seishiro followed the troops to the southern region of Korea to suppress the rebel troops, Later, he participated in the 'sweep' operation against the guerrillas in the northern region of Korea, because of his bravery, the rank was also promoted from infantry sergeant to infantry second lieutenant, and he could have immediately entered the Japanese Army University for further study, but during a sweep operation against the Korean guerrillas, a bullet pierced his shoulder blade, which eventually caused him to miss the semester and had to postpone his enrollment. So after returning from injury, he was still sent to serve in Lushun.

Just yesterday, Seishiro Itagaki received an order to command a logistics baggage team to deliver a batch of artillery shells to the front line, but when he walked to the logistics warehouse of Huangqibao, the Chinese army had already occupied Huangqibao, and those Japanese expatriates who had fled from Huangqibao brought the news of the Chinese army's stationing in Huangqibao to this village, and Itagaki Seishiro immediately decided to withdraw the baggage team and blew up all the shells and bullets that could not be taken away on the spot.

It was precisely because of the need to carry as many ammunition 'medicines' as possible that this Japanese logistics baggage team was busy from morning to noon.

Now, the Japanese soldiers are installing explosives and fuses to the ammunition "ammunition" depot hidden in the woods, this warehouse is just a temporary warehouse, for secrecy, the Chinese residents in the village have long been driven away, only some Japanese expatriates, in order to speed up the retreat, Itagaki Seishiro requisitioned all the Japanese expatriates, ordered them to help the troops find vehicles, as much as possible to move more ammunition "ammunition" back to Lushun, now the Chinese army's ground offensive is very fierce, and Lushun has been attacked by air raids. Although the Japanese army has some ammunition and ammunition reserves, if the domestic supply ships cannot dock, the Japanese army can only count on collecting all the ammunition and ammunition that can be collected on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Itagaki Seishiro had never fought head-on with the Chinese army, although when he was encircling and suppressing the guerrillas on the Korean Peninsula, he knew that there were indeed so-called "Chinese volunteers" in the Korean guerrillas, and those people were obviously professionally trained in military affairs, but after all, they were not regular Chinese soldiers, and Itagaki Seishiro could not get in touch with the experience of fighting with the Chinese regular army from that kind of guerrilla warfare.

After the outbreak of the war, Seishiro Itagaki volunteered to go to the northern front, and this time he commanded the baggage team to come, and he was also looking forward to a head-on contest with the Chinese regular army, he believed that the Chinese army was definitely not the opponent of the Japanese army, and the air force, as long as Japan caught up, could quickly suppress the Chinese air force.

The defeat of the Chinese army is a great opportunity for Japan to annex Manchuria, and once Manchuria is annexed, the next thing is to annex the whole of China, and even the entire Far East, this is not only the ambition of the politicians sent by the Japanese mainland, but also the ambition of Itagaki Seishiro, who followed the division and Russia to fight in Northeast China, Itagaki Seishiro has seen with his own eyes the vastness of Northeast China's territory, this vast land, has rich natural resources, once the Japanese Empire annexes it, then, Japan's strength will be greatly strengthened. Itagaki Seishiro, like his fellow Young Zhuang faction, was looking forward to a "holy war" in the Far East.

Now, the opportunity for this "holy war" in the Far East seems to have arrived, and Seishiro Itagaki has decided not to let go of this opportunity to defeat China, but for now, he must choose to retreat, because he still has time to retreat.

"What a 'fertile' land this is, and it should be occupied by the Japanese Empire."

Itagaki Seishiro walked to the woods at the edge of the village, grabbed a handful of dark dirt from his feet, and rubbed it vigorously, the dark soil seemed to be oozing oil, which gave Itagaki Seishiro the illusion for a while, as if he was already standing in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

At that moment, a strange roar put an end to Seishiro Itagaki's illusion, and he turned his head to look in the direction from which the roar had come from, low and clear, as if he had heard the roar of a battleship's steam engine on the docks.

"You, go check it out."

Itagaki Seishiro regretted that he hadn't sent someone to reconnoiter the Yellow Flag Fort in the morning, but at that time he had limited troops at hand and had to carry as many ammunition as possible, so he didn't even know if the Chinese army had left the Yellow Flag Fort.

A Japanese soldier was sent by Seishiro Itagaki to inspect the entrance of the village, and soon, the Japanese soldier ran back to the ammunition 'medicine' depot in a panic.

"The people of China! The people of China are coming! ”

The soldier shouted. This annoyed Seishiro Itagaki so much that he immediately slapped the soldier in the face, then 'drawn' the katana and directed the soldiers to prepare to resist.

"Ensign, ensign!"

The Japanese soldier who had been slapped tried to tell Seishiro Itagaki something, but before he could speak, the situation had changed.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, in the midst of a violent engine roar, a row of pine trees at the entrance of the village fell with a bang, and a huge black shadow appeared in front of the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, a steel shell. The great power, and the red 'color' battle flag on the hull, all showed that it was by no means a Japanese weapon.

"Yaga!"

Itagaki Seishiro then understood why the Japanese soldier was panicked just now, and at this moment, even he, a professional officer who had been in battle for a long time, was panicked, and those soldiers recruited from the countryside were of course even more at a loss.

Seishiro Itagaki had heard of the information that the Chinese army was equipped with armored cars, but the "monster chariot" in front of him was obviously not the legendary armored car that moved on wheels, but a strange chariot driven by tracks, and compared to armored cars, this kind of chariot was obviously more powerful, which could be seen from the vibration coming from the ground.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

The Japanese machine guns opened fire quickly, but after the bullets passed, those "monster chariots" were still moving forward, and the bullets hit the body of the car, and they could not penetrate the thick steel plate at all, but flew irregularly in all directions, becoming ricochets.

"Boom!"

The Chinese army's counterattack was immediately launched, a "monster chariot" braked abruptly, and then began to rotate the turret at the top, and a few seconds later, the "door" 47 mm cannon fired, the shell accurately hit the "Ting" Japanese army's only machine gun, and exploded violently, the machine gunner and the "ammunition" hand were killed on the spot, and the "Ting" Hatch Kais machine gun was also thrown out by the shock "wave".

But the tragic experience of the Japanese army had only just begun, just after the first "monster chariot" rushed into the village, more chariots rushed into the village from the road at the entrance of the village, the cannons on the vehicles opened fire fiercely, and those wheeled armored cars also used the machine guns on the vehicles to strafe the Japanese soldiers who had nowhere to hide, and the Chinese infantry who followed behind also hid behind the car, firing with rifles and submachine guns. In the blink of an eye, the village became a killing field, and it was a one-sided killing, even if the Japanese soldiers hid in the houses, they could not escape the damage of those shells.

Seishiro Itagaki no longer had any means to fight back, and his only option was to lead the remaining Japanese soldiers to break through. However, the entrance to the village could no longer be walked, it had been blocked by Chinese tanks, and the Japanese could only pass through the woods, which was also the location of the ammunition 'medicine' storehouse, and Itagaki Seishiro planned to light the fuse in the ammunition 'medicine' warehouse and detonate the 'medicine' before leaving.

However, just as Seishiro Itagaki commanded dozens of Japanese soldiers and expatriates to try to get close to the woods, gunfire was also heard in the woods, where more Chinese infantry were ambushed, and the Japanese had no way to escape, so they had to fight on their own.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

In the tongue of fire from the machine guns, a rain of bullets rushed in.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

In the roar of the cannons, one after another shells fell to the ground with a whistling sound, the explosion was deafening, shrapnel flew in all directions, and people continued to fall in the fire net woven by the rain of bullets and shrapnel, some died on the spot, and some dying people let out a miserable howl, hitting the nerves of all the people.

"I'm not fighting!"

A Japanese soldier had already collapsed, threw away his rifle, knelt at the edge of the woods, and raised his hands above his head.

"Yaga! There were no soldiers who surrendered in the Japanese Empire, only soldiers who died in battle! ”

Itagaki slashed his katana, cut off the Japanese soldier's head, and 'drawn' his pistol, but before he could fire his first bullet, a stray bullet that flew out of nowhere pierced his shoulder, causing Itagaki to faint almost immediately.

Then, without any hesitation, the remaining Japanese soldiers and expatriates immediately threw away all the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands high.

In front of them, there are several murderous tanks and armored cars, although they don't know what the origin of this weapon is, but these Japanese understand the fact that in front of the steel monster, human flesh and blood are extremely fragile, at this time, if you don't want to die, the only option is to surrender.
