Chapter 348: The Battle of Tangjiagou

Captain Tanaka Gunyoshi was the commander of this sneak attack unit, and after he stepped on the ground, his face was slightly better, and he was really a little unbearable to ride this kind of wooden sailing boat for several hours in the rivers and mountains.

"Shaozuo, no enemy was found."

"Good, rest in place for ten minutes, map!" Tanaka commanded, and an orderly brought the maza over.

The mapper took the map out of a bamboo tube sealed with cowhide.

"From here, there is a village, Yanxi!" When Tanaka Junyoshi saw the icon of the village marked on the map, he suddenly showed a terrifying and fierce light.

His knife hadn't been full of blood for a long time, and it was about to rust after being stuck in its scabbard all day.

In Nanjing, he killed from Shuiximen to Xinjiekou, and only stopped when the knife edge was curled, and it was conservatively estimated that no less than 100 civilians died in his hands.

At this time, it is almost noon, just enough to go and have a full meal, and then try your knife with the neck of the person of the branch is still not so sharp, if there is a flower girl it will be more perfect.

Tanaka Gunyoshi was dreaming, and the ten minutes were coming quickly, and the officer on duty came to remind him that it was time for the troops to leave.

The movements of the Japanese army were in the eyes of Ji Liancai, the commander of the third battalion, and their blocking position was nearly a kilometer away from the river, mainly to take advantage of the terrain.

The terrain along the river is relatively low, there are flat, and there is a section of tidal flats, the grass and trees have not yet sprouted in this season, and there is no way to set up an ambush.

The first to hit the road was the Japanese army's reconnaissance pioneers, who actually carried bicycles, and it seems that the Japanese army was well prepared, and the comers were not good.

"Camp. The Japanese army is coming. About one class. Riding a bike, do you want to ......"

"No, let's see if we can let them go first." Ji Liancai shook his hand.

"Understood!"

When the Japanese army landed, it was impossible to search all the places, and they acted only when they were sure it was safe, which would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it was estimated that Ushijima on the river could not afford to spend it.

Quickly march and take Yuxikou is their goal.

So. The Japanese soldiers rode their bicycles all the way over, and found nothing unusual, and the last Japanese soldier stopped, took out his flag, and signaled "safety" to the Japanese soldiers behind him.

Seeing the signal that he could advance safely, Tanaka Gunyoshi was relieved and boldly ordered the large army to advance quickly.

In fact, Ji Lian, the commander of the third battalion, was scared into a cold sweat just now, and the flag soldier of the Japanese army's top soldier squad ran to the position of the third battalion and hit the Japanese army 500 meters behind him.

It was less than three meters away from the bunker where they were ambushing.

However, the Banner Soldier seemed to be short-sighted, and he wore a pair of thick glasses, and he probably didn't even notice a few steps behind his feet. Ambushed a battalion of elite soldiers.

Stepping on neat steps, the Japanese troops lined up in four-way squadrons. Striding over.

Eight heavy machine guns, at least sixteen light machine guns, six mortars, and grenadiers, and a squad of sappers, as well as two platoons of ammunition.

The heavy firepower of this Japanese army is about to catch up with some **** ordinary brigades, and the firepower of miscellaneous divisions may not be comparable.

The equipment of the third battalion, in terms of firepower, is also a cut below this Japanese army, with light and heavy machine guns combined only half of them, and only two mortars.

"Platoon Commander Huang, the top soldiers of the Japanese army have been handed over to you!"

"Understand, camp, you'll see." Huang Yong, the leader of the platoon who received the task, took his own soldiers and quietly caught up with the Japanese soldiers.

"Everyone else listened, after a while, the gun went off, and the heavy machine gun hit me hard at the tail of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could not have a chance to return to the shore, did you hear it?"

"I hear you, camp."

"Prepare ......"

Tanaka Gunyoshi was at the front of the line, he was not the kind of officer who was afraid of death, on the contrary, he liked to fight, he liked to rush to the front, he thought that this was the most heroic performance of a samurai.

Therefore, his troop style is very strong, so he was selected by Ushijima to carry out this mission.

Rustling......

This wind, Tanaka Junyoshi suddenly smelled a trace of gunpowder smoke in the air, but this did not arouse his alarm, the sound of gunfire in Yuxikou was close to the left, and there was a trace of gunpowder smoke in the air, which was normal.

On the contrary, he liked the smell of gunsmoke, and where there was gunsmoke, it meant a battlefield, and a battlefield was a place of death and despair.

This is precisely where the military makes meritorious contributions.

Gunyoshi Tanaka is still young, and his future is not just a squadron leader, he should be a captain, a co-captain, or even a general, a marshal.

Tanaka admired Napoleon very much, a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier, and his arrival in China, a place that needed to be conquered by the imperial sword, was the starting point of his brilliant life.

The Japanese army had already entered the firing range by a hundred meters.

The commander of the third battalion, Ji Lian, raised his hand and aimed it at the Japanese army.

Two soldiers had already been prepared, pushing away the camouflage in front of the heavy machine gun, and the ammunition man quickly pushed the canvas magazine up, and the machine gunner pulled sharply, pushed the bullet on, and then violently held the handle, aimed at the end of the Japanese army and began to strafe.

Enemy attack!

Suddenly attacked, although the Japanese army was a little panicked, but did not break up, but immediately lay down, quickly dispersed, looked for possible cover nearby, and then counterattacked.

But the place chosen by the three camps is too good, negative yin and yang, according to the feng shui master, this is a very good feng shui treasure land, very suitable for a cemetery.

There are many ownerless graves on the hillside, and there are also some collapsed tombstones.

These became excellent bunkers for the Japanese army.

This is also something that cannot be helped, it is impossible for the third battalion to dig people's ancestral graves, so this gives the Japanese army some opportunities to resist.

"Hit, hit me hard!"

"Squadron leader, there is an ambush in the Chinese army, and their firepower is very strong."

"Order a small squadron of the third squadron to rush up in that direction...... Tanaka Gunyoshi ran to a grave bag, used the tombstone and the tomb bag as a cover, and commanded the Japanese army to fight back desperately.

"Hay!"

The Japanese were briefly disrupted, but soon established a defensive position and attacked the 3rd Battalion. There were even a couple of charges.

The Japanese returned fire very sharply. The charge is wave after wave. Under this charging tactic, the 3rd Battalion soon suffered casualties.

"Barracks, the position of the third company was rushed up by the Japanese army?"

"What, quick, reserves, go to the position of the third company and beat the devil down for me!"

"Yes!"

Boom......

The Japanese artillery retreated to a distance of 500 meters and established a position, and the shells kept falling on the position. A Maxim heavy machine gun was blown to pieces in an instant, and the machine gunner and ammunition driver were killed instantly.

"Artillery, knock out the Japanese artillery positions for me!" The commander of the third company, Ji Lian, was red-eyed, and shouted hoarsely at the artillery platoon commander.

The artillery platoon immediately adjusted its muzzles and fired shells at the Japanese artillery positions, but the caliber was too small and the range of the shells could not reach it, and several shells fell outside the Japanese artillery positions, and even the Japanese artillery did not hurt a single hair.

What to do?

If the Japanese artillery is not solved, this battle will continue. The casualties will get bigger and bigger.

It would be nice if there was an infantry gun, which could reach the Japanese artillery positions directly. It's a pity that the third battalion doesn't have this thing in their hands, so they can only watch the Japanese artillery go unchecked, and take advantage of the disadvantage little by little.

"Old plan!"

Just when Ji Lian saw that one of the soldiers around him was buried under the fire of the Japanese army, and he was about to cry in a hurry, a voice came from behind him like a heavenly sound.

"Lao Cao, why are you here?" Cao Xingyang came up with the reconnaissance battalion.

"The brigade sent me to you as a reserve!" Cao Xingyang smiled, I can't say that Luzao is afraid of you, let me help you, it hurts people's self-esteem so much.

"Just right, give me your 92 infantry cannon to try?" Ji Liancai stretched out his hand unceremoniously.

"What are you doing, you want me to do things as soon as I come?"

"Do you want to give it?"

"Give, you always want it, can I not give it, not only for you to use the cannon, but also for you, I am interesting enough, right?" Cao Xingyang laughed, he knew that if he hadn't encountered difficulties, he wouldn't have opened his mouth easily, he was a brother who stirred food in a pot, could he not know?

"Enough brother, after this battle is over, I invite you to drink wine and eat pig's head meat." Ji Liancai nodded.

The reconnaissance battalion is equipped with the best, not only equipped with infantry guns, but also equipped with two, all the barracks of the new 38 brigade can be compared with the reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, that is, the first battalion of the 381st regiment of the main brigade regiment, the battalion commander Tu Man, that is the descendant of Commander Leng, if he was not wounded during the retreat of Nanjing, it is estimated that he should be in the first division of honor.

Of course, in the independent new 38th Brigade, Cao Xingyang and Tu Man also shouted at each other, but Tu Man followed the northbound detachment, not in the new 38th Brigade, and now no one can compare with Cao Xingyang.

The Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army would have reinforcements so soon, and they were carrying equipment such as Type 92 infantry guns.

Rumble! Rumble!

Two violent explosions came, Tanaka Junyoshi turned his head to look, and suddenly his whole body trembled in horror like chaff, the artillery position was late, so what else did he use to suppress the firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side?

"First Company Commander, Second Company Commander!"

"Here!"

"Since we're here, we can't work and don't contribute, help the old man and make dumplings!" Cao Xingyang pulled out his pistol and called out to the two main company commanders to the front.

"Yes, Camp!" Both company commanders roared excitedly.

The Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, unable to organize firepower, and the charge was immediately suppressed, and they retreated one after another, wanting to retreat to a relatively safe area.

At this time, the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion seized the opportunity of the Japanese retreat and suddenly came out of the position, while the 1st and 2nd companies of the reconnaissance battalion also quickly moved to both sides and suddenly launched a charge, with the goal of completely encircling the Japanese army.

Tanaka Gunyoshi finally found that the opponent was coming for reinforcements, and while directing the troops to block the three battalions rushing down, he quickly retreated to the river, and organized soldiers to block the two flanks.

"Withstand, withhold ......"

The Japanese army without artillery is equivalent to a toothless tiger, although their individual quality is very strong, but the opponent is not weak, with the momentum of rushing down, killed in one breath, that is all the way to defeat.

Tanaka Junyoshi retreated all the way, although he was not made dumplings, but by the time they retreated to the river, there were less than a hundred people left around them.

More than 500 elite soldiers, actually lost four-fifths, Tanaka Junyoshi felt that his future was bleak, and he wanted to commit suicide by disembowelment when he drew his sword, but was robbed by his own star officer.

"Niu Dan, did you see that Japanese officer, hit him for me, quick!"

"Yes, Camp!"

A naïve soldier stood on the shore, raised his rifle in his hand, and slowly aimed at the back of Tanaka's head.

With a flick of the trigger, the bullet pierced and bored.

Tanaka Junyoshi sat in the middle of the rubber boat, his face was covered with blood, his body was full of black mud, he was very embarrassed, and suddenly felt a wind behind his head.

Turning around slightly, his eyes instantly widened at the boss.

A high-speed bullet entered his eyebrow, and Tanaka Gunyoshi fell down in one fell swoop.

The Japanese soldiers around the "Sir......" were so frightened that they paddled like crazy.

"Niu Dan, well done, I'll give you credit when I go back!" Cao Xingyang hugged the cow egg in an excited bag and laughed.

More than 100 Japanese troops rushed to the rubber boats and sailboats on the riverside in embarrassment, paddling desperately to the center of the river, while the officers and men of the three battalions and the reconnaissance battalion followed behind were killed, and the light and heavy machine guns were aimed at the Japanese troops on the boat.

More than 100 remnants of the Japanese army were killed or wounded, and it is estimated that not many of them could return alive, and some Japanese soldiers were wounded, and it is uncertain whether they can survive the time for treatment.
