Chapter 87: The Abandoned Division (Medium)

"Company commander, it seems that the artillery wing of the Japanese army is in front, that is, the artillery wing of this fourth division!" A soldier at the front of the charge said.

And when the company commander saw this, he immediately looked over and said speechlessly: "This group of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army is really superb." These artillerymen trembled when they heard the sound of the cannons, so we hurried over and snatched the cannons! ”

At this time, many people discovered the artillery wing of the Japanese army, because they had already charged into the defensive hinterland of the 4th Division, where they could kill and kill. And they all quickly charged to the artillery wing of the fourth division of the Japanese army, and when everyone charged just now, the Japanese troops of these artillery wings actually did not fire artillery to bombard themselves, which made the soldiers of Wang Guorui's fourth division also a little "grateful". However, everyone will not let them go because of this, Wang Guorui's fourth division must annihilate these cannons, so that they can completely disappear from the Japanese army.

"Dada......"

The submachine guns continued to strafe, and many Japanese artillery members were killed. And once these artillery encounters a strong firepower close range, they simply have no ability to resist. Most of these Japanese artillery were quickly annihilated, and a small number of Japanese troops who surrendered voluntarily were escorted down by everyone.

"Collect all these cannons and ship them back!" A company commander said.

Immediately, a soldier asked, "Why?" Didn't the division commander just say that the main thing is to destroy the enemy, and not to capture it? ”

"How can those guns be compared to cannons? This cannon is something that can be bombed, and if we take it, it will be very great for the Japanese army. When we attacked the Japanese army, we were most afraid of artillery. If the Japanese army is allowed to take it back again, I am afraid that it will be used by the Japanese army again, and this will not cause much harm to the Japanese army. If we take it. Not only did the artillery fire on our side increase, but the Japanese lost dozens of cannons of a wing, so their losses were very heavy. Eat one stone, when I have twenty stones, that's the truth. We veterans are most afraid of artillery. If we can weaken their artillery strength, it will naturally mean that our strength is increasing. Do you understand? ”

"Dog battalion, you help us pull these cannons back!"

Next, the army of the 4th Division continued to begin to divide the units of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army. Then gradually encircle and annihilate them. The first thing is to cut off their communication trenches, so that they can communicate with each other, and finally to really annihilate them.

"Hurry up, let it be fried. Medicine! Blew up all their trenches. They can't come and talk to each other for support. At that time, we can encircle and annihilate them piece by piece. When the time comes, we will have too many results this time. ”

Now due to the incompetence of the Japanese Fourth Division, several trenches of the Japanese army are filled with soldiers of Wang Guorui's Fourth Division, and the Japanese army has no artillery support. Because the Japanese army retreated too quickly, they did not have time to cover the artillery retreat, so the Japanese army lost a large number of artillery. And once the trench warfare loses the cover of artillery, I am afraid that defeat is not far away. What's even more terrifying is that the Japanese Maxine machine guns are not equipped much, so they have no automatic weapons to restrain Wang Guorui's fourth division. This would not have allowed them to withstand such heavy fire.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

With a few loud bangs, the Japanese army's communication trenches were blown up one after another and cut off. As a result, the Japanese troops in several trenches were really divided by the troops of the 4th Division. They were unable to transport additional ammunition through the guò trenches, and the wounded were unable to retreat. And Wang Guorui's fourth division was too incompetent this time, so it was not able to annihilate the Japanese army one by one, they rushed directly to the hinterland of the Japanese army, and then divided them, which caused the traffic trenches to be divided and encircled.

"Shoot mortars, fire mortars into the Japanese trenches!" Zhu Yuan said.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Mortars began to bombard the trenches violently, and the Japanese troops in these trenches really suffered. If it is a large artillery, they may not be afraid, because although the large artillery is powerful, the accuracy is very low, and it is still very difficult to get into the trench. But what they are most afraid of is this kind of small light artillery, which is very accurate, and can completely penetrate the trench and kill the enemy. The Japanese were afraid of this mortar and grenadiers, which were small but could move with the army and accurately hit the trenches.

"Bang ......"

A series of explosions, each explosion can blow up several people, and those who are not blown up do not know how many. The Japanese army began to become panicked and unable to respond to the battle. And if it were other troops, it would be possible to be trapped and fighting, but with these strange things in the Fourth Division, not only will they not be trapped and fighting, but they will regard their lives as the most precious thing. The soldiers of the 4th Division in Japan were merchandisers, and they had been bargaining with the nobility for hundreds of years, and they did not have the absolute obedience to the nobility as they did elsewhere. For them, the perennial bargaining mentality makes them think that the nobles and the emperor are the ones who robbed them of their wealth, and now they want to die for them, which is obviously not very satisfying to them.

This is also the so-called division of Japan's troop replenishment area, and each division and regiment in Japan is replenished from a certain place, and it is not like other countries where soldiers from all over the country are mixed together. That is to say, the soldiers of a division of the Japanese army are all replenished from one place, so those soldiers within a division are actually related to each other. It's not friends or relatives, and at least there have been opportunities to pass by. There are even many Japanese soldiers who have served in the same division for several generations, and this has caused the folk customs of a certain place to have an absolute impact on the combat effectiveness of this unit.

The 4th Division was born in Osaka and is also known as the Osaka Division. The Osaka area has been a commercial city in Japan for hundreds of years, and commerce is very developed, and they are all bargaining with local lords and nobles and other daimyos, so they are not like the people in other regions who are very loyal to the lords and daimyos, and have a sense of absolute obedience. They are extremely cunning in their bones, so once they feel that they are going to "lose money", they will never do it. And they know that they will not do the task of sending them to death.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the 4th Division had a very weak sense of allegiance to the emperor. It's okay if they fight a tailwind, after all, they can reap the benefits. If the battle situation is unfavorable, then they will definitely run away immediately, and they all value their lives more than they are loyal to the emperor. And now it is obvious that Wang Guorui's army is not a weak chicken, and they naturally can't raise the consciousness of resistance, so they can also find a way to save their lives, and then prepare for their next return to China.

Now in fact, many soldiers of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army are thinking of returning to China, after all, there is nothing fun in a foreign country. There are no women and no wealth here, if they want to be liked by these old soldiers, then there are ghosts! And their enemies are too strong, naturally not their idea of being willing to fight for their country.

"Division commander, look, they seem to have raised a white flag!" Immediately a soldier asked.

And Zhu Yuan was also surprised, and said, "When did they get such a big side of Baibu?" There shouldn't be any place for them to have a white cloth, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to make a white flag so quickly! ”

"Division Commander, did you say that they had already prepared and took out the white flag when necessary!" Someone asked.

"Well, maybe it's possible! This group of Japanese troops is so special, I'm afraid it's really possible! Zhu Yuan said.

"General, can you cease fire for a while?" The man from the 4th Division said.

"Ceasefire? Why? Zhu Yuan asked.

"We are willing to cooperate, and we are willing to give a part of our wealth in exchange for your ceasefire!" The envoy of the Fourth Division said.

For the soldiers of the 4th Division, life is the most precious, and although they are born as merchants, they are willing to pay for their lives. As for surrender, they haven't thought about this for the time being, after all, they still have to be face-saving, and they know that they can't surrender casually. Once they surrender, I'm afraid they will all implicate their families. So it is very normal to exchange some wealth for Wang Guorui to let them go. In this way, in their eyes, if they can come up with a sum of money, then these Chinese should let them go. can

But Zhu Yuan said very righteously: "No, you only have two ways now, one is to be completely annihilated by us, and the other is to surrender on your own initiative." We promise that we will treat the captives favorably and will not massacre you. We are not like you, who slaughtered our people in the Liaodong region, which is simply inferior to beasts. But we were bitten by a dog, so we can't go back and bite the dog, right? So I give you a chance to surrender, if you don't surrender, then we will kill you all, and then use it to pay tribute to our compatriots who died in Liaodong! ”

And the envoy of the Fourth Division felt a cold neck, because Zhu Yuan actually threatened them that if they did not surrender, they would all be annihilated, and none would be left behind, which would be used to pay tribute to those compatriots who died in Liaodong. And at that time, they carried out massacres in Liaodong, and their fourth division also knew about it. But now that the time came, they were all afraid. (To be continued......)
