Chapter 136 The Japanese Sneak Attack Fails

With a wave of Kawasaki's hand, a squad of engineers immediately sneaked up and rushed towards the barbed wire, their movements were extremely cautious, and if they felt that a defender was glancing this way, they immediately lowered their bodies, and then remained motionless, obviously quite well trained. Their actions were not discovered by the defenders, and a squad of soldiers rushed under the barbed wire without danger, some of them were responsible for sentry, and the other part immediately took out their tools, carefully cut the barbed wire according to the rules, and then gently broke it, so that one by one, hollows appeared.

The sapper squad leader sent a soldier back to report, Kawasaki nodded excitedly, and then sent a squadron of machine guns to drill through the broken barbed wire and immediately capture several advantageous firing points. In this way, the other soldiers carefully penetrated through the barbed wire one after another.

"Bang ......"

"Da ......"

Finally, the defenders noticed the situation and immediately opened fire. After all, the shuttle port was not large, and the troops were all gathered in a group to line up to enter, and the firepower of the defenders was immediately concentrated on the places where the barbed wire was broken.

"Ah......" There was a scream, and the army suddenly suffered casualties.

"Fire suppression".

Needless to say, the machine gun occupying the advantageous type immediately erupted frantically with tongues of fire.

"Ah......" There were also casualties on the side of the Northeast Army.

The machine-gun squadron of the Yue Army did not stop, suppressing the fire of the Northeast Army in order for the infantry behind to rush in through the barbed wire.

Pushing away the corpses of comrades blocking the way, the infantry continued to penetrate through the barbed wire without stopping. The firepower of the Northeast Army was obviously not strong, and it was suppressed to death by the machine gun squadron of the Yue Army, and it didn't take long for the soldiers of the Yue Army on the periphery to enter the barbed wire.

"Attack ......", waving a bayonet, Kawasaki roared, and the army, who heard the order, immediately rushed to the defenders' positions in an organized manner.

This grove is not dense, and although it slows down the attack of the Japanese army, it can reduce their casualties. Knowing that the battle time could not be too long, otherwise, not only the Northeast Army that had previously gone to reinforce might rush back, but the Northeast Army from other sides might also reinforce this side, so Kawasaki did not dare to delay time, and as soon as he gained a firm foothold, he immediately launched a desperate charge.

It is known that the army is not afraid of death, and the commander waved his saber without shouting to stop, and no one dared to stop, otherwise, he would only end up apologizing to the emperor.

The army charged forward a hundred meters, although the casualties were not small, but the speed was good, according to this progress, in a few minutes, it would be possible to meet the defenders in a short battle, even with the number of people, Kawasaki also believed that he could kill the Northeast Army.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a series of violent noises came from the front, and Kawasaki saw that the legs of the soldiers who rushed to the front were suddenly blown into the sky.

"Ah......" Although the army said that they were not afraid of death, it did not mean that they were not afraid of pain, they would not scream after the pain, and the taste of their legs being blown off must be uncomfortable, and the heart-rending screams came from the mouths of those soldiers who were injured and did not die.

"Landmines", Kawasaki's face turned pale.

"Go around from there".

The army no longer charged head-on, and immediately split into two parts and outflanked from both sides.

"Boom ......"

Sure enough, it was a minefield, and the entire front of the position was mined, and the luck of the army was shattered.

"Baga ......" saw that the good situation was destroyed, how could Kawasaki not be annoyed, this minefield, the Northeast Army would definitely not give them time to eliminate it, isn't this equivalent to erecting a signboard of "this road is impassable" at this time?

"Withdraw", knowing that the attack was hopeless, Kawasaki reluctantly gave the order to retreat, if he didn't leave, when the enemy reinforcements came, he couldn't leave.

"Boom......" was another explosion, but this time it was not from the front, but right in front of the occupied area.

"Pull", the position of the Northeast Army, a young battalion commander sneered, and decisively ordered the soldiers to pull the long lines in their hands, these long lines are connected to the mines buried deep in the ground at the place occupied by the army, these mines are different from the mines in the minefield in front, mainly in different ways of triggering, the previous kind is a bulletproof mine, this kind of mine, you step on it is fine, but as soon as you let go of your legs, it will immediately explode with a "boom".

Because the army didn't expect that there would be mines here, they took care of charging and stepping on the mines, and it was impossible for them to stop their feet, and the mines would not wait for them. And this mine with a lead is different, it's okay after stepping on it, as long as the lead is not pulled, it won't explode, the defenders deliberately didn't use these mines before, just try to let the army come in more, so that the damage caused will be greater.

Kawasaki, who was scratched by shrapnel in the "Baga ......", was furious in his heart, and secretly scolded these people for being too cunning, and generally laying mines on the periphery of the barbed wire fence to build defensive positions, but I didn't expect these guys to do the opposite, not to bury mines outside the barbed wire, but to go deeper inside the barbed wire and then bury them, even if others prevent the first point, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent the second point.

"I have ...... the plan", Kawasaki was angry for a while, and immediately ordered the troops to speed up the retreat.

It's easy to get in, it's hard to get out, from time to time there are mines blooming in the middle of the army, although the army is also a little flustered, but it has not lost its square inch, one by one the soldiers immediately bounced, rolled and jumped from those craters to retreat, in this way, you can avoid the fire of the defenders, and you can avoid the bombardment of mines, it seems that the army's on-the-spot response ability is still very good, if it is an ordinary rabble, I am afraid that it has long been panicked and jumped around, and it has directly become the target of others.

After successfully exiting the minefield, those barbed wire fences became the roadblocks for the Japanese army, and the defenders at this time did not hide their clumsiness, and opened all their firepower to the maximum, and concentrated their firepower on the broken barbed wire where the Japanese army fled.

"Firepower counter-suppression".

The machine guns of the Japanese army also began to return fire, trying to suppress the defenders' fire to cover the retreat of the large army.

"Can't let them run away like this, brothers, give me a hard ......" a roar came from the defenders.

Although the firepower of the army is very strong, but they don't want to retreat now, this is the time to beat the water dogs, so the army is exposed to the firepower of the side, even if it is to fight with the number of people, it is also said that I suffer, so in the face of the crazy strafing of the machine guns of the army on the opposite side, the defenders will not just blindly dodge, some fierce soldiers in order to shoot from the side, simply stand up from time to time and shoot, and then immediately lower their bodies, although the danger factor has increased a lot, but the shooting effect is much better, Some of the machine gunners who couldn't dodge were also killed.

The machine-gun squadron of the army successfully covered the infantry to break out, but obviously, their own danger factor was much greater, and now there was no one to cover their retreat, although the infantry who rushed out from time to time used fire to suppress the defenders, but obviously the effect was not great, and in the end, most of the men of this machine-gun squadron remained here as a corpse, and less than a third broke out.

As soon as he rushed out, Kawasaki immediately ordered his troops to return to their positions.

"Bang ......" bursts of dense gunfire, getting closer and closer, Kawasaki immediately had a bad feeling, sure enough, soon, I saw that the Tanaka brigade sent out earlier fled back in embarrassment, followed by a group of Northeast troops on horseback.

"Enemy cavalry", Kawasaki complained bitterly, isn't this a house leak that happened to rain overnight? This type of land is best suited for cavalry charges.

The cavalry of the Northeast Army quickly bit the fleeing Tanaka brigade, and one by one the cavalry immediately pulled out the saber at their waists, fell from their horses, bent down and flew away, and one by one the good Japanese heads flew away.

"Hehehe......" The cavalry of the Northeast Army was extremely excited, and the feeling of killing devils like this was really fucking cool.

The passing of a group of cavalry is always accompanied by the fall of the army, the cavalry soldiers come and go like the wind, and the marksmanship of the army is good, and it is not so easy to hit, plus they have no intention of fighting at this time, so the accuracy is even worse.

"Brothers, the officer seems to be the leader of this group of dogs, kill him", the cavalry captain spotted Kawasaki, who was slightly wounded, and immediately pointed the finger at him.

Kawasaki's heart was cold, feeling a threat of death, although it is said that the army is not afraid of death, but it is not that they don't want to live, the reason why most of them are not afraid of death is also very helpless, in addition to the relationship with education, the most important thing is that kind of system, if a soldier smears the army, he is not only punished himself, even his family will be implicated, not only can he not live, I am afraid that their family will not be able to raise their heads for a long time, anyway, it is a death left and right, who doesn't want to die a glorious death? If you die for the emperor, you will also gain some fame, if you surrender or become a deserter or something, then you will only die in humiliation, this choice does not need to be taught, they all know how to make a decision, so many people who are not afraid of death are forced out.

Hearing the call of the cavalry captain, a few soldiers with good equestrian skills immediately turned their horses and rushed towards Kawasaki.

In the dense rain of bullets and bullets in the "bang ......", the two soldiers did not shoot the bullets of the army, turned over and planted themselves from their horses.

For the dying struggle of the army, the cavalry soldiers were also aroused, and immediately another line of cavalry turned their horses and rushed to this side, but this time, they did not carry out a frontal charge, some of the sides of the detour, some of the soldiers with superb skills, most of the body on the side of the horse's belly, in order to avoid the shooting of the army, after the charge, with a knife in one hand, with a gun in the other, killing happily.

Seeing the cavalry of the Northeast Army rushing closer and closer, Kawasaki looked embarrassed, and immediately left a part of the soldiers to stop it, and then led the remaining part of the people to choose a direction with a small number of people to break through.

Before the "bang ......" army rushed out of the cavalry encirclement and suppression, there was another sound of gunfire from behind, and it was the defenders who had previously drilled out of the barbed wire and stabbed the army from behind, killing them in the abdomen and back, and the casualties of the army suddenly multiplied.

"Haha, little devil, you can't run away", the officers and soldiers of the Northeast were also very excited, and the suppressed anger in their hearts was finally released a little, letting the world know that the Northeast Army was not unable to defeat the army, but it was really too pustud for the officials above.

The Northeast Army has shouted countless times for the Yue Army to surrender, but no one has raised their hands until they die in the hands of the Northeast Army.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Kawasaki, and in the end, only he and the adjutant were left. Kawasaki raised his sword and glared at the commander of the Northeast Army with his eyes.

"I heard that I am good at fighting stabs, today I will come to see it, you remember, I am Ma Shangfei, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the 123rd Regiment of the Northeast Army, remember to report to the king of Hades, don't forget my name, otherwise I don't know who to find revenge after reincarnation."

After speaking, Ma Shangfei jumped off the horse, at this time, he no longer cares whether this Kawasaki can understand his words, he also knows that this dog will not surrender, and he just happens to kill the prestige of the army in front of the soldiers, so he, the battalion commander, is going to take a good lead.

Wiping the war knife stained red by the blood of the devil, Ma Shangfei's eyes shot a bloodthirsty light.

"Ya ......" couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and Kawasaki attacked first.

The two irons of "ping-pong" made a crisp sound when they collided.

Wow, Kawasaki took a few steps back, with a hint of horror on his face, and secretly said that this man is really strong.

"Ping Pong ......" fought hard to repel Kawasaki, Ma Shangfei immediately rushed forward, and fought hard with Kawasaki a few times, the war knife was waved in the wind, but Kawasaki kept retreating, his steps were gradually disordered, and his breath was heavy, obviously a little overwhelmed, but Ma Shangfei was getting braver and braver.

"Come on, battalion commander, come on......" The soldiers who were watching the visitors around immediately cheered loudly.

Kawasaki's adjutant was already dumbfounded, and he could see that Kawasaki was obviously not the opponent of that soldier, even if he didn't suffer that slight injury.

With a sound of "hey ......", Ma Shangfei swept Kawasaki down with a sweeping leg, and the war knife immediately hit Kawasaki's neck.

Seeing this, Kawasaki immediately laughed, turned the bayonet, thrust his hands violently, and the sharp bayonet stabbed directly into the abdomen, and then twisted violently, blood suddenly gushed out of the abdomen, quickly taking away his vitality. He Kawasaki didn't want to die, but he didn't have the courage to become the first soldier to surrender to the [***] team since the 918 incident, not to mention that he was still an officer, so he had only one death.

Seeing that Kawasaki was dead, the remaining adjutant knelt directly on the ground and ripped off his clothes on his abdomen with both hands.

"Long live the Emperor".

shouted, and also stabbed the sharp bayonet into the abdomen, and still chose to cut himself, and the Northeast Army next to him did not stop it.

Glancing at the suicide himself with a complicated mood, everyone's hearts were also full of questions, whether it was right or wrong to surrender to the enemy when they knew that they were invincible?

After cleaning up the battlefield, the officers and men of the Northeast Army returned to their stations.

Although Kawasaki died, the Kawasaki Wing was not completely wiped out, but Tanaka fled back with a few hundred people, he knew that he would leave his commander alone, but he did it anyway, because he didn't want all the soldiers of the empire to die in such an unknown way, and he could escape a little bit.

Tanaka fled back with hundreds of remnants, and Tamen Jiro directly said to him, be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and the other soldiers all looked at all this suddenly, Tanaka had already thought of it, so he was not surprised, and knelt directly on the ground, shouting Long live the emperor, seppuku.

Looking at Tanaka, who had died, Domen Jiro sighed softly in his heart, if he couldn't defeat Nenjiang, would he end up like him? After a few days of fighting, the army has suffered more than 4,000 casualties, but it has not advanced half an inch, how can this not make Duomen Jiro anxious?

The Northeast Army's achievements in guarding the Nenjiang Bridge immediately spread like snowflakes throughout the country and immediately throughout the world. In big cities such as Beiping, Shanghai, Tianjin, etc., there are many voices of people talking, and the voice of the boy who sells newspapers is also very loud, obviously knowing that the Chinese want to hear the news of the victory of the party, and the newspaper is selling out quickly.

"Hmph, this Wei Chendong's more than 200,000 Yan Huang army is not moving in Heilongjiang, you look at the northeast army of the people, more than 50,000 people fought hard and said that I can't cross the Nenjiang Bridge, sure enough, what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, he Zhang Xueliang can't do it, Wei Chendong can't do it, or General Ma is really a hero, a real hero, give us Chinese a long face."

"That's it, that's it, this Wei Chendong dared to fight with the British before, why is he so afraid of himself this time?"

"Where, this guy just wants to be a soil emperor, it turned out that the British were looking for trouble with him, so he had to fight, and now he didn't mess with him, he won't move, I think I won't let him go in the future, just let him watch the show on the side, there will always be times when he regrets it."

…… When people talk about Ma Zhanshan's Northeast Army, they unconsciously point the finger at the Yanhuang Army in Heilongjiang, no wonder, why are there so many differences between forces in the same place? It's hard not to compare them to each other.

Honjo Shigeru scolded Tamonjiro fiercely on the phone, but the scolding was scolding, he also knew the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Division and the command ability of Tamonjiro, this failure should have objective reasons, first of all, the Northeast Army of Mabe received a lot of funding from the Yan and Huang Army, and the equipment was much better, and the personnel also increased a lot; Secondly, after Wei Chendong led the Yan and Huang Army to Heilongjiang, together with the Northeast Army, he built a large number of fortifications, not to mention making Heilongjiang an impregnable wall, but the entire defense system was indeed strengthened a lot.

Of course, in addition to these two reasons, there are some other scattered reasons, but these two reasons are related to Wei Chendong's Yanhuang Army, Honzhuang Fan secretly said that this Wei Chendong is really killing people, otherwise, the Kwantung Army will not spend so much money and will not be able to take a Nenjiang Bridge. In fact, when the Yan and Huang Army wanted to come to Heilongjiang, the military department of the Yue Army did not approve of it, and was ready to send troops to stop it, but the cabinet did not want to make a big deal about it, after all, Wei Chendong had just fought with the British, who dared to guarantee that he would not fight with Yu himself? Moreover, in the eyes of the cabinet, the entry of the Yan and Huang Army into the Northeast also has many benefits, first of all, it can help Yue himself eliminate Peng Hu's forces; secondly, it can muddy the situation in the Northeast; Moreover, the Yan and Huang Army came to the Northeast, and it will be more convenient to win them over in the future, at this time, I still feel that there is some hope for winning over Wei Chendong, even if I can't win over, it will be much more convenient to fight at that time, it is better than letting them hide in Gansu and not be able to touch it, all in all, in short, the cabinet feels that the benefits of letting the Yan and Huang Army come to the Northeast outweigh the disadvantages, so they will suppress the military department and let them not act rashly.

In fact, the military department didn't listen to a lot of the words of the cabinet, and often dared to do some things that were cut first, but when Wei Chendong entered Heilongjiang, they didn't dare to cut first, because this matter was too big, with their understanding of Wei Chendong's surname, it was not good, I am afraid that they would really fight, and when Wei Chendong was about to enter Heilongjiang, the army did not have many troops in the northeast, even if they wanted to stop it, they were a little powerless, so they endured it.

Although Honzhuang Fan has opinions about Wei Chendong, things are already like this, if you want to take the Nenjiang Bridge as soon as possible, then you can only increase your troops.
