Chapter 35: Does He Know Japanese?
As the fighting continued, the number of casualties between the two sides began to skyrocket.
In comparison, Wang Sirui's side has a great advantage.
Whether it is geographical advantage or tactical advantage, Wang Sirui's side is far superior to the Japanese.
As early as before, Wang Sirui gave the soldiers street fighting skills, although they were not fully exerted because of nervousness, but as the battle continued, when the soldiers found that the Japanese did not seem to have anything to fear, their minds gradually began to calm down.
And after that, I recalled the skills that Wang Sirui gave them before.
As a result, these soldiers made full use of their tactical advantages, and at one time even beat the invincible Japanese army with no head.
And the Japanese army, which was more than 300 people, fell forty or fifty people after a few minutes of fighting. It's night, and the Japanese can't see their surroundings clearly for the time being, but if it's daytime, the Japanese will be surprised.
In this battle, Wang Sirui once again showed his true colors as a sharpshooter, almost no bullets, and every bullet could take the life of a Japanese soldier, which also made the Japanese army have to retreat and hide behind the carriage, trying to avoid the ubiquitous bullets.
"Eight-grid tooth road, machine gun, machine gun, where did the heavy die?" The commander of the Japanese army, Watanabe Yube Shaosa, saw that his side was suppressed by the Qing army with few people, and he was very unwilling in his heart, and roared angrily.
Although the Japanese were rarely armed with machine guns, this did not mean that they were not equipped.
And Watanabe's mission this time is to sweep the Interior Office, which is one of the most heavily guarded places in the entire Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Yubu Watanabe was still assigned a Makqin heavy machine gun as fire support.
However, there is also a lack of Japanese troops, at this moment the coalition army has just entered the city, the city is not stable, the Japanese are also the same as other coalition forces, need to clear the city as soon as possible, the remnants of the enemy, so for a time there is no more troops to do other things.
Although they went with a heavy machine gun, to the disappointment of Watanabe Yubu, not only did they not use the heavy machine gun, but they also didn't use the rifle much, and they easily occupied the Interior Office.
And at this moment, the team is being suppressed by the Qing army that is much smaller than himself, how can Watanabe Yubu be angry? Along the way, have you ever suffered such a loss?
"The Japanese have heavy machine guns, get out of the alley." After hearing the roar of Watanabe Yubu, Wang Sirui was also suddenly startled in his heart and hurriedly yelled.
Originally, I was counting on seizing an opportunity to clean up the Japanese, but I didn't expect that there were heavy machine guns in these Japanese.
If they hadn't withdrawn since the heavy machine guns came out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Although the plan was disrupted, the overall plan was not affected in any way. After ordering the troops to retreat, Wang Sirui did not retreat, but chose to stay.
At present, in his own team, Wang Sirui may be the only one who can suppress the heavy machine gun.
And if Watanabe Yubu didn't roar like that, Wang Sirui would inevitably withdraw with the team. But now Wang Sirui, who ******** wants to increase his firepower, how could he retreat so easily?
Obviously, he had his eyes on the Maxim heavy machine gun in the hands of the Japanese.
Similarly, in order to prevent the third company from suffering large casualties, Wang Sirui still had to stay and suppress the opponent's heavy machine gun.
"Huh? Can he understand Japanese? Watanabe Yube was suddenly stunned and said in slight surprise.
In those days, there were not many people in the Qing Dynasty who could speak Japanese, and even if there were, they were students in Japan in the early years. However, it is clear that the number of students studying in Japan in recent years has not been large, and most of them have not yet graduated.
And because Yubu Watanabe has been in Qingguo for many years, he can understand Chinese, but he didn't expect that there were people who understood Japanese in the other team.
"Hmph, don't think that you can beat me if you understand Japanese, the Japanese Empire is invincible. Yubu Watanabe snorted coldly in his heart and said proudly.
"Sakai-kun, lead a hundred men to that alley to pursue the enemy, and you must destroy them." Yubu Watanabe called Captain Sakai to his side and commanded in a low voice.
"Hey!"
"Wait, take a hundred and fifty people." Immediately afterwards, Watanabe Yubu regretted it, he felt that the other party only had a few dozen people, and he would not dare to sneak attack his more than 300 people no matter what.
And they must have relied on something else to do so, the roads in the alleys are narrow, and the courtyards are dense, and it is very easy to hide ambushes.
It was with this in mind that Yubu Watanabe would temporarily ask Captain Sakai to bring fifty more people. As for him, with heavy machine guns and more than a hundred soldiers guarding him, isn't it safe enough?
It can be said that Watanabe's arrangement is exactly as Wang Sirui's intention.
On the Watanabe Yubu side, although there is a heavy machine gun and more than 100 people. But Watanabe Yubu obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and now there were only a hundred people left around him, and less than one hundred people died.
Moreover, these soldiers had to prevent frightened horses or pack horses from running around, and it didn't matter if the horses ran away, but there were millions of taels of silver on the wagons. Therefore, there were more than thirty carriages, and there were two soldiers next to each carriage controlling the horses, and after Captain Sakai took away one hundred and fifty people, there were only thirty or forty people around Watanabe Yubu who could continue to fight.
The heavy machine guns of the Japanese were carried out, and their positions were carried down by wagons with a few boxes. After the Japanese deployed all this, Wang Sirui also saw that Wang Shuqi had quietly approached the position.
The Japanese machine gunners were extremely vigilant in aiming ahead, except for the sub-machine gunners, the other machine gun crew members kept looking around, and once they found the enemy, they had to call the police in time.
Don't pay attention to the fact that the machine gun firepower is very strong, but the heavy machine gun also has its disadvantage, that is, it is very inflexible, and the protection of the machine gunner is insufficient, and the machine gunner is easy to get shot.
"Your Excellency, I think it's better for us to get out of here as soon as possible, at the moment we can fight with less than forty soldiers, if the enemy attacks again, it will be difficult for us to resist their attack." A staff officer took the opportunity to take stock of the team, and hurriedly returned to Watanabe's side and suggested.
"What? Only forty people? How do you do the statistics? Watanabe Yubu reprimanded very unhappily in his heart, there are obviously more than 100 people around him, why are there less than 40 people?
"Your Excellency, a frightened horse cannot be controlled by one person, even if both of them are somewhat reluctant. If we let these horses run away, we will lose a lot. ”
"Then unload the wagons first, tie them to the side of the road, and put them back together when the battle is over. The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire have never had the concept of escaping, Takahashi, you have disappointed me. Yubu Watanabe said.
Takahashi is a top student who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and now holds the position of lieutenant and staff officer. So for Takahashi's proposal, Watanabe Yubu subconsciously satirized him, and would never adopt his suggestion.
With the controversy between Takahashi and Watanabe Yubu, Wang Sirui saw that Wang Shuqi was commanding the troops on the other side and intended to attack.
At this time, there is a heavy machine gun sitting below, and if you don't knock out this heavy machine gun first, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So, before Wang Shuqi launched an attack, Wang Sirui's side launched an offensive first, and the Japanese machine gunner, who was sitting firmly behind the heavy machine gun and was on high alert, also fell to the ground.
