Chapter 454: Ichiro Oni with a Nervous Breakdown

How the Japanese army fought fiercely with the Huaxing Fourth Army can be seen from the encounter of only one Japanese army.

At noon one day in October, the scorching sun shone on the land of China, and in a dense bush at the junction of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, hundreds of soldiers of the Ghost Seed Squadron of the 38th Division of the 23rd Army of the Japanese Army were silently lurking on both sides of a mountain path.

They crawled in the bushes, enduring mosquito bites, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the end of the path, which was the defense area of the Fourth Army of Hong Kong's Huaxing.

Within a month, the squadron where the ghost seed was located had broken into the defense area of the Huaxing Fourth Army four times, and all of them had returned without exception.

His squad leader, the squadron leader and deputy squadron leader, died in battle within a month, and he was a squad leader a month ago as a veteran of many years in the army. Now in less than a month, he has become the new squadron leader.

However, I don't like the position of this squadron leader, because the position of this squadron leader means more responsibilities and greater dangers.

Because the Huaxing Fourth Army on the opposite side had a large number of sharpshooters, they specifically looked for non-commissioned officers and machine gunners to attack.

In his squadron, the four squadron leaders all fell under the guns of the snipers of the Huaxing Fourth Army, and now he is the fifth squadron leader, so he is very afraid of his future.

If they pass through this mountainous area at night tonight and enter the defense area of the Huaxing Fourth Army, I don't know if they will be able to escape the ambush of the Chinese soldiers.

The bigwigs of the Imperial Military Department were all brain-dead, and they forcibly let their army attack Hong Kong when the navy and air force were not superior. I heard that the mechanized troops were even worse, and in less than ten days after the start of the war, hundreds of imperial tanks and armored vehicles were smashed by the short-range rocket artillery launched by the Huaxing Fourth Army.

Originally, a mere weapon and equipment would not make the leader of the ghost seed squadron afraid, but when a team of hundreds of people encountered the attack of dozens of bazookas at the same time, the scene was too terrifying.

The last time, when he was just elected deputy squadron leader, more than a dozen machine gunners in his squadron were blown to pieces by this kind of rocket that suddenly came from all around.

If only the armored forces suffered heavy losses. I heard that the artillery units of the Empire also suffered heavy losses, and the reason was that with the help of the lost naval guns and aircraft, the artillery of the Empire was no match for the Fourth Army of Huaxing in Hong Kong.

This is because there are quite powerful coastal defense guns in many areas of Hong Kong, especially in the border between the New Territories and Shenzhen, and there are more than 100 heavy guns of more than 155 mm.

If it weren't for the Empire's transfer of two wings of 240-mm super-heavy artillery from the interior, I'm afraid that their 23rd Army would have been defeated long ago.

However, the artillery of the Huaxing Fourth Army is not a fool, and in the case of the range and power that is not as good as the super-heavy artillery of the empire, the whereabouts of the artillery of the Huaxing Fourth Army have become very changeable, and the shadow of the Chinese artillery cannot be caught at all.

They seem to shift their positions every time they hit a few shots, and every time the imperial super-heavy artillery wants to shoot back, Huaxing's artillery disappears without a trace, it's really hard to imagine, it's a 155-mm heavy gun, how the Chinese can maneuver quickly. Do you run all over the ground with cannons?

But if they were running all over the ground with their cars, why couldn't the Reich's reconnaissance planes catch the traces of these heavy artillery, even if the cannons couldn't see it, why couldn't they see even the bigger cars?

In fact, you can't blame the leader of the ghost seed squadron for not understanding, after all, the war of this era, when it comes to war camouflage, who can compare to Li Tie from later generations.

The heavy artillery of the Huaxing Fourth Army is really camouflaged by cars, but these cars and cannons are masterpieces that have been completely integrated with the surrounding environment by professional painters, not to mention that the reconnaissance planes in the air cannot be seen, that is, the scouts who are close to a few hundred meters If they do not know these camouflage methods in advance, they will also not be able to find these camouflaged heavy artillery.

At the same time, it is precisely because the Japanese army has not been able to eliminate the heavy artillery threat of the Huaxing Fourth Army, so although the two sides have been fighting fiercely everywhere in the past month, there has been no collective battle of the large corps, because if the threat of heavy artillery is not eliminated for a day, the combined forces of the 23rd Army and the 21st Army will not want to go deep into Hong Kong for half a step.

The Ghost Seed Squadron Leader looked at the fiery red sun overhead, and then at the hundreds of recruits who were also lying on the ground beside him. The mood of the ghost seed is indescribably uncomfortable.

I still remember my thoughts when I first joined the imperial army, when eight or nine years ago, the empire's soldiers of less than 20,000 people occupied the entire northeast of China, and it is said that the eastern land was much larger than the entire empire.

The thought that as long as he joined the army, he could get free land, and he could burn, kill and loot at will in backward China, and his poor self was moved.

So the ghost seed joined the army of the empire with enthusiasm, and many young people from the same village joined the army with him.

After a year of training, they were sent to China, first to suppress bandits in various parts of the Northeast. Life at that time was really good, every day more than a dozen familiar soldiers made trouble everywhere, and when they saw beautiful Chinese women, they were gang raped when they were pulled into the alley.

When encountering a woman who resists fiercely, no one cares about raping first and then killing. When they encounter wealthy Chinese families, they will copy the entire Chinese family on the charge of banditry.

All valuable things are removed, and if there is a slight resistance, you can kill all these Chinese who resist, and then you can just install a crime of banditry.

It was this unscrupulous life that fattened up these Japanese soldiers, and everyone frantically burned, killed and looted, and everyone became rich, and it was also in those years that he began to send money to his parents at home.

His parents were also respected by their hometown because of the ghost species' service in China, and they also found a virtuous wife for the ghost species.

Then he took leave to return to his hometown, married a wife and had children. Then return to China again, the purpose is to rob more Chinese of wealth.

After six years of this wanton robbery, his division began to attack Beijing and Tianjin, and soon his own wing began to attack Shanghai and Nanjing.

No matter how many Chinese troops there are on the opposite side, as long as they find a way to go around behind them, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops will become routs. Then, they kill as much as they want.

At this time, the Chinese soldiers were so stupid, thinking that it would be safe to surrender, but they really didn't know that our own people in the Great Japanese Empire had no rations, so how could they accept so many surrendered troops. So, kill, or kill.

However, after several years of war, although the empire occupied more and more places, there were fewer and fewer people around him, and Matsushita-kun died in battle during the attack on Pingjin.

Sasuke-kun was killed during the attack on the Sihang warehouse in Shanghai, Wada-kun was broken by a huge machine gun while capturing the Xiaguan district of Nanjing, and Kakashi-kun was killed by a Chinese mine during the attack on Taierzhuang.

The worst thing is the bare-cheeked doll who played with the ghost species from childhood to adulthood, he was in the attack on Changsha, and when he was engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the Huaxing Third Army at night, he was cut off by the soldiers of the Huaxing Third Army and died with a sapper shovel.

Alas, the headless soldiers will not be cared for by Amaterasu after death, and they will forever wander between heaven and earth, turning into resentful spirits.

A fellow villager from a nearby village has died in battle, why is it that the current Chinese soldiers are becoming more and more difficult to fight, and their equipment is getting better day by day?

Although today's Chinese soldiers are still inferior to the imperial soldiers in heavy weapons, they are no longer inferior in light weapons, and every time the Chinese army fights more and less, there are more and more veterans.

Now, every time I fight with the Chinese army, I no longer have the feeling of joy I used to have.

Especially in the past year or so, all the armies of the empire have reached a consensus that it is easy to fight the Chinese army, even the Central Army, which is known as the most elite, but the battle with the Huaxing Escort is the most difficult.

Not to mention the battle of Hainan, let's look at the current battle of Hong Kong, I thought that Hong Kong would be very easy to fight without the defense of the British navy. Unbeknownst to him, in just one month, hundreds of thousands of armed forces have sprung up throughout Hong Kong.

What is even more excessive is that these armed forces are no worse than the miscellaneous armies of the Nationalist Army, and the Huaxing Fourth Army among them is even stronger than the old divisions of the Empire. Just looking at the time of this month, I have been promoted from an ordinary squad leader to a squadron leader, and you can know the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Huaxing Fourth Army.

The ghost seed sighed secretly, and looked at the recruit around him who also came to China to fight with the dream of making a fortune, this recruit seemed to be only eighteen years old, from the same village as himself, and his last fellow countryman.

Ichiro Oni told him with a heavy face:

"I know that the propaganda you hear in China is that the Chinese are very good at fighting, the weapons of the Chinese army are very backward, the marksmanship of the Chinese army is very inaccurate, and their broken guns do not even have rifling.

The most important thing is that the Chinese soldiers are dumber than rabbits, they will run away as soon as they hear the gunshots, and then wait for us to catch up from behind and give them bayonets.

Therefore, one Japanese soldier can easily kill dozens or even hundreds of Chinese soldiers. I have to admit that the original Chinese army was indeed like this.

But the Chinese army in front of you today is not like this. They are the guards of the China Huaxing Company, which is recognized as the most difficult army in China.

Don't ask me why a company's escort is so difficult to fight, I want to tell you that we have been defeated many times in the Chinese battlefield in the past few years.

This time we attacked Hong Kong for a full month, and I grew from a squad leader to a squadron leader within a month. One can imagine how high the casualty rate of our 38th Division was.

And many of these sacrificed soldiers were veterans of a hundred battles, but they still did not survive. ”

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, how can we survive?" The recruits who were frightened by the words of Yan Li, the leader of the ghost seed squadron, asked.

"It's very simple, follow me closely, don't shoot indiscriminately if you don't see the enemy, shoot when you see the enemy is sure, be sure to shoot and change places." The ghost seed introduces his own experience.

"Doesn't it mean that the marksmanship of Chinese soldiers is not accurate? Why take a shot and change places? The recruit asked weakly.

"That is to say that the marksmanship of the Chinese soldiers in the past was not accurate, but the marksmanship of the current Chinese soldiers is very accurate, and the marksmanship of the soldiers of the Huaxing Escort is even more accurate, no worse than the veterans of our empire.

The most important thing is that the weapons and equipment of the Huaxing Escort we are facing are even better than those of our empire, and they have a large number of automatic weapons, which can make up for the lack of shooting accuracy. The leader of the ghost seed squadron said solemnly.

"Then isn't it dangerous for us to raid the Huaxing Fourth Army on the opposite side tonight?"

"Of course, so you have to follow behind me, we are fellow villagers and must take care of each other, if I unfortunately die in battle this time, remember to retrieve my body, and then send my ashes home, I don't want to die in a foreign land." The ghost seed said accurately.

"The Chinese army on the other side has suffered like this? Is there no other way for us to defeat them? The recruits couldn't believe that the legendary hero of his hometown, Ichiro, was actually a soldier who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Yes, unless Amakasu appears tonight." The Ghost Seed Squadron Leader said with a chattering face.
