Chapter 566: The Night of Revenge (2)
"Nani?" Sakanishi Kazura thought that the captive of the fateful Shina in front of him finally couldn't bear it anymore and said what he needed, but this half-Mandarin and half-ancient poem sentence made him, a person who thought he was a China expert, couldn't hear what it meant, so he had to immediately order someone to call the translator over.
When the translator carefully told Sakanishi Kazura the meaning of this passage, Sakanishi Kazura's face suddenly darkened.
"Yaga! You're dead, you're dead, I'm going to cut your five horses into pieces, and you're going to cut ...... with a thousand knives," Sakanishi Kazura said all the idioms he knew were vicious.
"Taijun is angry, Taijun is angry, he is dead, he is out of breath."
"Yaga! Tie him to the pole of the camp, and let the people of China know that this is what will happen when they oppose the Japanese Empire. ”
Sakanishi Kazura was very depressed, he had just landed before he encountered a battalion and fought an encounter, and it was easy to defeat them with a net, and then pursued them all the way, blocking them in a village, but he never expected that the resistance of this small force was very fierce, and the fight lasted for nearly four hours, which made him pay a squadron of nearly 300 casualties, and finally had to mobilize artillery to blow up the village to destroy them.
And when the brigade commander learned of the situation of the battle, he was furious and directly let the Banxi brigade, which originally belonged to the forward, be sent directly to the rear to protect the baggage wing, which made Sakanishi Ichira lose the opportunity to make a meritorious service, Banxi Ichira knew that he had nothing to do with the next battle, so he was very depressed, when he learned that the troops caught four Chinese prisoners who were crushed in the ruins, Banxi Ichira immediately ordered his subordinates to interrogate, but the four of them were hard-mouthed, no matter what kind of moves he used, just don't say it, which made the originally depressed Sakanishi Kazura, Even more annoyed, he wanted to kill people very much at this time, but unfortunately there were no villages around him to vent at the moment, and he returned to his tent to rest with depression and exhaustion.
In the temporary headquarters of the 33rd Brigade of the 3rd Independent Division in the woods, the brigade commander Chen Deshan was staring intently at the map in front of him, waiting for the time to attack. Similarly, the atmosphere in the entire command headquarters has also become solemn because of the upcoming battle.
Finally, in the almost breathless headquarters, Chen Deshan raised his watch and looked at the time in the moonlight, breaking this solemn atmosphere.
"Operational staff officers, all the troops participating in the battle, are they ready?"
"Report to the brigade commander that the artillery battalion is ready to open fire and ensure that the first round of firing will hit all the enemy's baggage wing station. The 37th Regiment, the 42nd Regiment, the 45th Regiment, the cavalry battalion, the guard company, all combat units were in place and ready for battle. The combat staff officer replied in the affirmative.
"Very well, order all combat units to act according to the original plan." Chen Deshan nodded and ordered affirmatively.
After the hour hand pointed to one o'clock, there was a loud roar that broke the silence of the surroundings. The temporary artillery position located deep in the woods, a total of 12 large-caliber guns of various calibers, at the same time, issued a roar of rage at the location of the Japanese baggage wing.
Twelve large-caliber shells, with a loud whistling sound, flew out of the woods at a rapid pace, leaving a trail of white eyes in the dark night. Then, in the excited eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they accurately landed on the station of the Japanese Army's baggage wing.
In an instant, the baggage wing composed of more than 1,000 Japanese troops immediately woke up from their sleep at the sound of shells. Many soldiers had forgotten to put on their clothes, they were holding rifles, and only a white crotch cloth was running out of the tent, and they looked up at the place where the sound was happening, and all the devil soldiers saw the shells falling next to them.
In the explosion of one shell after another, the ghost soldiers who had not yet reacted were directly swept to the ground by the flying shrapnel. At the same time, in the camp, truckloads of ammunition were directly detonated under the bombardment of artillery shells, forming a sea of fire one after another. The entire camp of the baggage wing was full of detonated shells, bullets that were blown up everywhere, shrapnel ... In less than two minutes, the camp of the baggage wing, which had gathered a large amount of ammunition and food supplied by the troops in front, was completely enveloped by the sound of explosions and the screams of soldiers, and the light of the fire shone on the entire land, and even Jiamusi, who was far away on the other side at this moment, could see the fire.
In the dream, Sakanishi Ichira Nakasa dreamed that he had captured Meng Qingshan with his own hands and was promoted to the commander of the division, and was received by the emperor because of his outstanding military achievements, and Empress Ryoko also wore a medal for him with her own hands. After pinning the medal, the beautiful Empress Ryoko stroked his chest with her small hand and said, "Yo Sai, Sakanishi-kun is really a strong man, even more wise and martial than Hirohito. ”
Hearing this, Sakanishi Kazura trembled with excitement. He was about to say something when a loud rumbling sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and the figure of Empress Ryoko gradually became blurred. Sakanishi Kazura was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything. In this hurry, he opened his eyes - and woke up! Rubbing his tired eyes, he continued to snort, and scolded: "Baga! Who is making noise outside. ”
Squadron Leader Taro Ishida ran in from outside in a panicked voice and said, "Your Excellency Nakasa, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”
Sakanishi Kazura hadn't come to his senses at this time, waved his hand and muttered a little confused, saying, "What big deal can we have here in the rear?" Can't you go and deal with it? ”
Ishida Taro was so anxious that he was sweating, and shouted: "Your Excellency Nakasa, something really happened, the baggage camp has been shelled, and the Shina forces have launched an attack on the baggage camp, and the captain of the baggage wing, Ishihara Shozo Nakasa, ordered us to send troops to help immediately." ”
Sakanishi Kazura was taken aback and said, "Nani? How is it possible, this is already our rear, where did the people of China come from, could it be the large force of the previous army, but if it was a large force of the people hiding in our vicinity, it should have been discovered by our reconnaissance plane a long time ago, it must have been a small group of people of China who attacked the baggage camp, Ishida-kun This is our opportunity to make a contribution, and immediately gathered troops to rush to the baggage camp. ”
"Hey!"
Just after Sakanishi Kazura had just assembled his troops, all the mortars and grenadiers of the 33rd Brigade launched an intensive artillery bombardment at the surrounded Japanese infantry camp at the same time. At the same time, the fighters, who had already crawled forward and were only more than forty meters away from the Japanese camp. When the cannon sounded, the grenades emitting green smoke were thrown at the camp close at hand, and the sharpshooters knocked out all the fire points placed by the Japanese troops on the periphery of the camp at the first time.
In this way, the dense explosions, the sound of gunshots all the time, and the screams of the soldiers also sounded in the Japanese infantry camp, Sakanishi Kazura was very unlucky to be directly hit by a shell, when the smoke dissipated, there was only a big pit left where Sakanishi Kazura stood, and the death of Sakanishi Kazura brought serious panic to the entire Japanese brigade, and it was completely chaotic, even if the Japanese squad leader urged the counterattack, but it would soon be killed by the sharpshooter, resulting in greater chaos in the troops.
The sound of dense explosions heralded the beginning of the night raid at the same time. The large army of devils a few kilometers away from the baggage camp also woke up the sleeping little devils at the first time. Because of the fatigue of the day's march, Major General Yu Yuwu, the commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade who was sleeping on the marching bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as he heard the sound of the cannonball, he sat up from the bed as if he had been injected with a dose of stimulant.
"Baga, where did the explosion come from, come here, what's going on outside, where is the explosion, is it that the people of Zhina have attacked the camp."
Soon, less than a minute after the roar of the major general of the pavilion was heard out of the tent. A combat staff officer ran in out of breath and replied, "Your Excellency the brigade commander, it's not the people of the branch who attacked the camp. ”
"Nani? Where did that explosion come from? ”
"Our rear."
"Yaga? We drop the rear, isn't that a baggage troop? It is impossible that since this journey, except for the small group of Chinese armed forces that I encountered before, I have not seen any Chinese troops, judging from the sound of artillery shelling, the enemy has at least one division of troops, and so many people have not found it. It is necessary to clarify the situation for me in the shortest possible time, and to order the troops to stop resting and prepare for standby. The brigade commander, Major General Yu Yuwu, ordered.
"Hello!"
"Brigade commander, the position of our baggage wing was attacked by massive enemy fire, and this group of enemies came out of a wood."
"Yaga! These damn monkeys. "In order to speed up the pace of the march, I was prepared to fight the Anti-Japanese Union by surprise, and I didn't search carefully at all, but I didn't expect that because of my own negligence, someone stole the way back.
Knowing the specific cause of the explosion, Major General Yu immediately calmed down. After a short period of contemplation, he resolutely ordered the combat staff officer in front of him.
"Order the 2nd Infantry Wing to immediately set out to destroy the enemy in our rear, and send another telegram to the division commander requesting support from the 18th Cavalry Wing."
"Hello! Your Excellency Brigade Commander..."
After the artillery battalion of the 33rd Brigade had exhausted all the shells, in order not to delay the march of the large army, it had no choice but to bury the artillery on the spot, but the sound of the explosion of various ammunition from the Japanese baggage battalion lasted for almost an hour. Until the entire camp was destroyed with all kinds of ammunition and supplies. The sound of explosions continued for an hour before it slowly stopped.
The Japanese cavalry unit arrived at the scene of the incident in less than two hours, but the 33rd Brigade had already withdrawn, and then the Japanese cavalry pursued along the footprints of the 33rd Brigade, and as a result, it was attacked by a mine array at a distance of less than 500 meters from the 33rd Brigade's main force, causing a large number of casualties.
The day finally dawned, and the battlefield that had been noisy all night slowly quieted down as the sun rose. At this moment, outside the ruins of the Japanese baggage camp, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army at this time, drooped his face and listened to the chief of staff in front of him, reporting the specific losses of his division in the night raid.
"Division commander, after statistics, an infantry brigade arranged by our division on the periphery of the baggage camp, except for 156 people who survived, the rest of the personnel were all killed. In addition, the 18th Cavalry Wing, which reinforced the baggage wing, encountered mines laid by the Chinese people, killing 128 people and seriously wounding 65 people. As for the baggage wings that were shelled, less than 10 percent of the baggage ammunition carried by the troops was preserved. The entire baggage wing, all members of the sacrifice, none of them survived. ”
