[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 388: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall in a Hurry (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

Wang Tao guessed correctly, the Japanese commander in front of the Nanguan position was indeed in a hurry, and the command of the 16th Division was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the 38th Wing in Nanguan. You must know that among the three battlefields in Xinghe, Nanguan has the best conditions and the largest number of troops.

In addition to a reinforced wing, there was also an artillery wing and a puppet infantry regiment working together, with a total of nearly 6,000 troops. It stands to reason that such a strong lineup should have taken the Nanguan position, but I didn't expect that two days and two nights had passed, and the division and regiment headquarters had received all the casualties of the division, and there was no other news.

Today, after receiving an urgent telegram from Sugiyama Moto, Fujie Ezupo immediately sent a telegram to all the front-line departments to take the county seat of Xinghe at all costs. The 38th Wing was especially ordered to take the Nanguan position today, otherwise the Wing Commander would not only be removed from his post, but also sent to a military court for trial.

This was a naked slap in the face to the Japanese commanders, even worse than making them commit suicide by seppuku. Therefore, after receiving the order from the division headquarters, the commander of the 38th Wing, Sukegawa Shizuji Daisa, was immediately angry and immediately organized troops to attack. As a result, as a few days ago, four consecutive charges were repulsed. Annoyed and angry, Sukegawa Shizuji decided to make a desperate bet and concentrate all the more than 4,000 troops in his hands, and everyone in the whole wing, including himself, launched a wave charge against the position of the Eighth Route Army, crushing the defenders on the opposite side with absolute will.

This tactic is the most commonly used tactic of the Japanese army when the battle is unfavorable, although the casualties are often not small, but the effect is very good. In many cases, the defenders on the ground would not be able to withstand such tremendous pressure and would collapse, and the Japanese would turn defeat into victory.

After the troops were assembled, Sukegawa Osa came to the front of the troops, then drew the command knife in his hand, and said loudly: "Warriors of the empire, our 16th Division is one of the most traditional field divisions in the empire, and only the 2nd Sendai Division and the 5th Division of Hiroshima can be compared to us. ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander has just called me personally, if our 38th Wing cannot defeat the enemy in front of us today and attack this small county town. Your Excellency the Division Commander will send all our officers to a court-martial, and the number of the glorious 38th Wing will be sealed forever and cease to exist, are you not ashamed? ”

"From now on, until the defeat of the opposing Shina army, no one is allowed to retreat. When the soldier retreats, the military cao enforces the military law, the military cao retreats and the squad leader enforces the military law, and so on. If even I retreat, then ask the gendarmes of the wing to carry it out until the last man fights, do you understand? ”

"Hay!"

"Yo Xi, gentlemen, the glory of the Great Japanese Empire will always be there, the Imperial Japanese Army will have a long military fortune, and the enemy will be killed to !!"

With the order of Sukegawa Jingji, more than 4,000 puppet troops lined up in a neat queue and launched a comprehensive and full attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army. And a whole artillery wing behind the Japanese positions was shelling the defenders' positions with all their might, without stopping for a moment.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The defenders' positions were in flames, and the Japanese troops on the charging road were also returned fire by the artillery units of the 275 Brigade, and the dense shells fell on the heads of the Japanese puppet army.

Although the shells kept falling on his head and many soldiers were killed and wounded, Sukegawa Shizuji had no intention of retreating. As a typical Japanese officer, Shizuji Sukegawa, like his older brother Shinichi Sukegawa, was a hard-line militarist. Like all Japanese middle and lower-ranking officers in this era, they do not take other people's lives seriously, nor do they take their own lives seriously.

Two days ago, Sukegawa Shizuji received an urgent telegram from the Front Army Headquarters, saying that his brother Sukegawa Shinichichi Sakugawa, who served in the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, had sacrificed his life for the country, and it was the troops of the Suicha Military Region of the Eighth Route Army who killed his brother, so this battle was not only to correct the name of the 38th Wing, but also to avenge his brother.

There is a fire burning in Sukegawa Shizuji's heart, he and his brother are twin brothers, although the two look different, but the relationship is very good. The two went to school at the same time, joined the company at the same time, and were even promoted to the rank of army chief in the same year, and were awarded the title of commander of the real wing. The elders of the family have always been proud of them, and they all feel that there is hope that there will be two generals in the family at the same time.

But I didn't expect my brother to die in battle, and he died at the hands of these hateful Tubalu, which is really hateful.

Sukegawa Shizuji was very confident in this attack, he believed that he could easily crush the tired soldiers on the opposite position with huge casualties, after all, the army on the opposite side had not rested for two days and two nights, and it was impossible for a strong man to withstand such an ordeal.

It's close, it's closer, it's less than five hundred meters, and although this distance is within the range of a rifle, it's not an effective range. In order to help Kawa Jingji's understanding of the Eighth Route Army, in the case of lack of ammunition, the Eighth Route Army usually puts them close before fighting, and this distance is generally controlled at about 300 meters, or even 200 meters.

And Sukegawa Shizuji waited for this opportunity, as long as the troops entered the 300-meter range, even if it was filled with human lives, the remaining 300-meter distance could be filled. And the position on the opposite side obviously does not have much depth, as long as they break through the position, the rest is hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat they have never been afraid of the Chi Na people.

However, what Sukegawa Osa didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the defenders' position five hundred meters away, the other side opened fire, and the dense bullets came over. Many people are wondering if the head of the person is in the water, even a rifle at such a distance does not have much accuracy, unless it is a sniper rifle, let alone a machine gun, the bullets are fluttering when they are fired from such a distance, how many hits can there be?

But to the shock of the Japanese puppet army, the opponent's bullets not only accurately hit their soldiers, but also often a bullet can penetrate three to five people, what is even more terrifying is that as long as it is a soldier who is hit, no matter which part it hits, the result is a hole the size of a fist, and there is no chance to rescue at all, which is really terrifying.

Obviously, it was the anti-aircraft machine gun that the Eighth Route Army had been preparing for a long time that fired, and the distance of 500 meters was not a problem at all for the Japanese-made Type 93 anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by Ma Zheng with a firing height of 3,500m and a firing range of 6,000m.

The dull sound of the "bang, bang, bang" anti-aircraft machine gun resounded in the sky on the position, and the huge lethality brought by the flat fire suddenly interrupted the offensive of the Japanese army that had just launched the charge, and seeing the surrounding comrades constantly being knocked down by the terrifying bullets fired from the opposite side, even the Japanese soldiers who boasted of being armed with the spirit of bushido were afraid.

There is no way, the tenacity of the Japanese army is indeed rare in the world, especially now that it is still in the early stages of the war, and many Japanese soldiers at this time are still veterans who have undergone rigorous training. As for a veteran field division like the 16th Division, the proportion of veterans still accounts for a large proportion, so the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

But no matter how strong the veteran is and is not afraid of death, he is also a human, the lethality of the bullets shot from the opposite side is too strong, it is a blood hole on the body, it is okay to die on the spot, if you can't die, you can only watch yourself bleed to death, and there is no way to treat it.

What was even more terrifying was that the soldiers who were stopped and beaten in two could not die for a while, and half of their bodies crawled around on the ground, and the terrible howl made everyone tremble.

The Japanese army said that although they were afraid, they did not retreat when it came to obeying the order, after all, the wing commander had already given the order to fight to the last man, and no one could retreat without the order of the wing commander, otherwise they would be severely punished even if they were lucky enough to go back.

But those puppet soldiers who fought with the Japanese army did not have such a will to fight, and it was not a hard bone to be the two devils of the puppet army, and they did things for the little devils just to get a way out, and they really wanted to let them charge against this terrifying killing machine, but few people had such courage. But the Japanese put the puppet army at the front of the army as cannon fodder, and as a result, these puppet troops ran slower and slower, and Sukegawa Shizuji's desire to charge quickly was frustrated.
