"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As rifles continued to be fired into the trenches, remnants of Japanese troops were killed, and a large number of troops occupied the first line of Japanese trenches. And the soldiers in the first trench of the Japanese army were rarely able to escape the killing of Wang Guorui's army, because the artillery had cut off their retreat, and Wang Guorui's infantry occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, and the firepower was countless times more than theirs, so they could not be the opponent at all. And under the cover of artillery and grenadiers, these Japanese troops had no ability to resist at all and were pointed to the head by the infantry who charged to the front.

Of course, there were also some Japanese soldiers who surrendered, and the Japanese troops in this period were not as brainwashed by the bushido spirit as they were during World War II decades later, and the madness of their soldiers in this period was far less than that of World War II, so many of them surrendered. And they were all scared by Wang Guorui, because Wang Guorui's firepower was too fierce, and it was not something they could withstand at all, and they had collapsed mentally, so they couldn't raise any idea of resisting at all. The reason why they were able to persist in resisting was because their families were in China, and if they became deserters in a foreign country, their families in China would be affected.

"Chief of Staff Hu, we have annihilated 5,000 enemies in the first trench, and we can attack the second trench of the Japanese army at any time! The method is almost the same as the current one, it is also artillery cover, and then the infantry charges, directly suppressing them with fire far superior to them, so that they simply cannot withstand it. This is really refreshing, and our army also has a day when they use their weapon advantage to bully the enemy, hahahaha! Zhao Xi laughed and said.

Everyone was happy in this battle, because the strength of the weapons was much more than that of the enemy. Since 1840, the Chinese army has been defeated, and there have not been many victories at all. And what everyone says the most is that the weapons are inferior to the enemy, because the Chinese army often has to rely on flesh and blood to fight the enemy's foreign guns and artillery, and the price paid is not undeniable. And now they all have weapons that far surpass the enemy, which makes them really feel the pride of their eyebrows, and how refreshing it is to bully the weak with advanced weapons.

This feeling is as refreshing as taking the high-end tuba to the novice area where to slaughter, and there is a perverted pleasure. And war is like that, anyway, it is to use all means to defeat the enemy, not to mention fair competition, after all, war is not a boxing ring.

"Let the soldiers rest for half an hour, and attack again after half an hour!" Hu Wei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Xi replied.

With the Japanese army, it was obviously gloomy, because in less than an hour and a half, the first line of trench defense was lost. This means that they may not be able to hold out for long, and they can already foresee that they are going to lose this battle. And they were just able to calculate how long they could delay and how many casualties they could bring to Wang Guorui. But they didn't have much confidence, because Wang Guorui's firepower was too fierce, and they couldn't raise their heads to fight back at all.

Originally, they had artillery, but now that the artillery has been destroyed and all the artillery has been killed, the Japanese army has no artillery to cover the counterattack, so it can only be pressed and beaten. In this day and age, without artillery, it is simply waiting for death. Without the cover of artillery, the enemy's artillery can easily blow you to pieces. With artillery, one infantry can exert more than ten strengths, which is also the importance of fire support strike force. And the Japanese army, which lacked fire support to strike, was able to exert less than one-tenth of its combat effectiveness. In addition, the Japanese army did not have mortars, machine guns, grenades, and other weapons that were specialized in trench warfare, so it was destined to be a big hole. In the case of trade-offs, it is normal to have this result.

"Your Royal Highness, Governor of Huashan, you should quickly retreat with your troops! I'll cut it off for you! The Akashi staff officer said.

And at this time, Kita-Shirakawa Palace was a little "fake" and said: "Nonsense, what are you talking about?" As a member of the Imperial Family, how could I escape from the battle! I want to be loyal to the Emperor and set an example for the people of Japan. ”

And the Akashi staff officer saw this scene and scolded in his heart: "Your grandfather, you guy who wants to be a ** and want to build a torii, if you weren't for the royal family, I would care if you lived or died!" ”

Although Akashi staff officer looked down on this old thing that was both a ** and a torii, he still took the initiative to find a reason for him and said: "Your Royal Highness, you better retreat quickly, if an emperor's close relatives are killed in battle or captured in the hands of the Chinese people, then I am afraid that the face of my great Japanese empire will be lost." Therefore, for the sake of the face of our Great Japanese Empire, I would like to ask you to retreat quickly, so as to save the face of my Great Japanese Empire! ”

And Kita-Shirakawa Gong Nengjiu said with a "helpless" look: "Since this is the case, then for the sake of the empire's face, I should hurry up and take Taipei to defend, waiting for domestic tactical guidance." ”

And the Akashi counselor immediately said, "Your Royal Highness, my wife and children, please ...... you."

At this time, the North Shirakawa Palace Nokushi also found out his conscience and took the initiative to say: "I will build Emperor Yì, canonize you as a baron, and the title will be inherited by your son!" Moreover, I will fund them so that they can go to the best military school in the empire, and ensure that your son has a good future. ”

And Kayama Shiki also said: "Akashi staff, don't worry, we will take care of your family." ”

The meaning of these two old scumbags is that you can go with confidence, I will take care of your family, you don't have to worry.

Soon, Kita-Shirakawa Miyano and Kayama Shikini also left with the Japanese army's engineering wing and baggage wing, and a brigade of infantry. The number of Japanese troops, which was already relatively scarce, was again reduced by about 5,000 people. Less than 15,000 people remained in the position to fight Wang Guorui's troops, and the Japanese army was basically equal to Wang Guorui's troops in terms of numbers. However, the firepower of the Japanese army was less than one-fifth of Wang Guorui's troops, and it was conceivable that the outcome of the remaining Japanese troops was already predictable. Of course, this qiē Wang Guorui is not very clear. Wang Guorui didn't expect that the commander of the Japanese army would be so undisciplined and took the initiative to abandon the troops and run away, which is almost unimaginable for Wang Guorui to see the diehards of the Japanese army in World War II in later generations.

"Brothers, kill the widows, and rush with me!" Zhao Xi shouted.

"Rush!"

Half an hour later, Wang Guorui's troops once again charged towards the second line of defense of the Japanese army. At this time, the resistance of the Japanese army was actually a lot worse out of thin air, and the Japanese army began to surrender in batches, which made Wang Guorui a little surprised.

"Why is the Japanese army's will to fight so poor?" Wang Guorui said in surprise with a telescope.

And after the last two hours of fighting, the Japanese army had already begun to surrender in droves. The battle was soon over, and the next step was to count the results and clean up the battlefield.

"Lord Wang, we have annihilated about 20,000 people this time, killed 10,000 and captured 10,000. Most of the captives have surrendered and are ready to be disposed of. We captured more than 10,000 rifles of various kinds, but the Japanese artillery was also destroyed, so not a single cannon was captured. Hu Wei said.

At this time, two soldiers escorted a man over, and then one soldier said, "Lord Wang, we have caught a big fish!" ”

Wang Guorui immediately looked over and saw that this Japanese soldier was actually carrying two stars on his shoulders, and Wang Guorui was immediately excited, this is the rank of lieutenant general of the Japanese army! Wang Guorui immediately thought that this person should be the commander of the Japanese Guards Division, Kita-Shirakawa Miyano Hisa. The main thing is that he is the prince of the Japanese imperial family, and this is the main thing. And if a Japanese prince can be captured alive this time, it will be very exciting news. Originally, this guy also died in Taiwan in history, but at that time, he died of illness due to unaccustomed water and soil, not to death.

"Lord Wang, this guy was about to commit suicide just now, and I shot him in the hand, but he didn't die. I see that his clothes are different, is he a big fish? The soldier said excitedly, obviously wanting to ask for merit and reward.

But Tanya said very unceremoniously: "Looking at his appearance, he is not a big person." Moreover, you see that he is only in his thirties, will the Japanese army have division commanders in their thirties? Moreover, he does not have the slightest royal nobility, so he is definitely not a royal family, and he will not be a high-ranking commander! ”

After listening to Tanya's words, Wang Guorui immediately knew that he was happy for nothing.

"What about the commander of your division? What about your Taiwanese governor-general, General Kayama Shiki? Tanya asked in Japanese.

But the so-called "lieutenant general" was very disdainful, and said: "If you want to kill, you will kill, I will not say any news!" ”

"Forget it, pull him down and put him in good custody. Even if he is not the division commander of the Japanese army, he must be a staff officer at the division and regiment level, he must know a lot of secrets of the Japanese army, let's pull him down and torture him! Wang Guorui said.

"Commander, I counted the number of Japanese troops, and they still have at least five thousand people not counted. These Japanese troops should have run away, and if we hurry up and chase them, we might be able to catch up! Tanya said.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "Okay, since they ran away, then we will chase me too!" First regiment, follow me to hunt them down! Most of these Japanese troops are also some logistics troops, and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and one regiment should be enough. ”

"Yes!" The herald shouted immediately.
