Chapter 737: Jingguan
The Japanese 13th Division's marching speed lagged behind the 6th Division, and at the same time, their advance direction was also somewhat different from the 6th Division, and the division commander Uchikawa Eitaro became a little nervous, because the 13th Division had not received news from the 6th Division for more than a day, and it seemed that after the 6th Division entered Dangtu, they lost contact with the outside world.
"What the hell happened to Dangtu?" This is what Uchikawa Eitaro is eager to know, but even if he overestimates the troops of the New Fourth Army, he could not imagine that a trump card unit of one of the 17 permanent Japanese divisions before the war, the 6th Division, which is famous for its bravery and good fighting, and gave birth to many brave generals, was completely annihilated by the Chinese overnight.
Uchikawa Eitaro made the decision to speed up the march, he wanted to know the situation as much as possible, if something happened to the 6th Division, such as the attack was frustrated, then he would truthfully report the situation to the headquarters and base camp of the Shina Dispatch Army, seeking to mobilize more Imperial troops and carry out a comprehensive crushing operation against this group of enemies, who were still quite formidable.
As for the fact that the 6th Division was gone, Uchikawa Eitaro had never thought about such a thing at all.
"Division commander, division commander...... The scout found something amazing on the side of the road ahead, oh no, something terrible. The herald was utterly confused, his words were incoherent, his nostrils were spurting harshness, his eyes were in focus, and something that seemed to fill his body with fear and anger.
Uchikawa Eitaro scolded: "What the hell is the situation, just say it to me directly, why are you beating around the bush, Makano Lang!" ”
The herald gasped a few times, but he still didn't say it, and he said, "Let's ask the division commander to go and see it himself." ”
Uchikawa Eitaro slapped the herald with his sheathed command knife, and angrily took his men in the direction that the herald and scout were pointing at, and when he really saw what they were pointing at, he understood why those guys before him had such feelings.
This is a huge Kyoto Temple! To be precise, it is a new Kyoto temple. The so-called Jingguan, also known as the military army, has also been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese history, this is not only the custom of the barbarian peoples outside the Central Plains to boast of martial arts, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even until the subsequent dynasties, this kind of building in the shape of a pyramid with the corpse or head of the defeated has been used by the Central Plains people.
For modern people, the Zhujing Temple is an absolute challenge to the physiology and senses of normal people, and it can almost be said to be a challenge to modern civilization. And the side that is built to view the capital will inevitably be deterred by this bloody act, but at the same time, it will inevitably be angered by this behavior.
Of course, compared with the many crimes committed by the Japanese in China, a human head Jingguan does not seem to be a very powerful thing. It's just that this Jingguan is built almost overnight with the heads of 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army.
At the top of this Jingguan, a banner is inserted on the top of the top of the top of the head, and several Chinese characters that can be understood by the Japanese are clearly written - killing 10,000 Japanese is still not enough!
Uchikawa Eitaro is one of the evidence on the Kyokan that can confirm that this is the 6th Division, and it is judged that this huge Kyokan was built by the head of the soldiers of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, who had been missing for more than a day. Although the division flag of the Sixth Division was not left, some important materials and tokens of the division alone, even including the seal of the division commander, were left on this Jingguan. They are like small gifts to decorate a Christmas tree and make it even more beautiful.
The chief of staff, Yusaburo Tsuga, who also witnessed this scene, said tremblingly: "These must not all be the athletes of my Great Japanese Empire, they must be the people of China who want to mess with our minds, and casually kill some lowly Chinese civilians, and put them here as imperial warriors, don't be deceived by the sinister people of China!" ”
Although Yuzaburo said this, the Japanese officers were not fools, and although the Japanese and Chinese were both Asian, they could still see subtle differences in appearance, and the facial features and hairstyles of the Rendanhu and other Japanese people made people more convinced that these people were not so-called Chinese civilians. In addition, many of the heads are somewhat mutilated, and at a glance you can tell that they were blown up in the war and pierced by bullets, and it is obvious that these heads have experienced a brutal battle. Although these Japanese did not want to believe it, this Kyoto Temple was indeed made up of the heads of Japanese soldiers.
"Ahhh Uchikawa Eitaro was already in a state of madness, he was not prepared for such a thing to happen, this kind of thing was beyond their understanding.
However, Uchikawa also calmed down relatively quickly, and he quickly thought of a question, what kind of strong combat effectiveness this New Fourth Army unit has to be able to completely annihilate the Sixth Division in such a short period of time. Moreover, they were not worried about provoking the Japanese army, so they put a head on the side of the road to Dangtu......
A thought flashed, and Uchikawa shouted: "Not good! ”
Before his words fell, he was drowned out by a fierce cannonball, just as Uchikawa just reacted, Qi Yuan built a Jingguan is not just to boast of victory and deter the enemy, it is also a target tower for the Japanese army to stop, the Japanese see this thing, absolutely stop the march, and stop here, Qi Yuan needs to do, is to arrange the artillery of the New Fourth Army in this nearby hidden place, as soon as the Japanese take the bait, he immediately launched a large-scale artillery bombardment, heavy damage to the Japanese army.
Qi Yuan himself naturally instructed the New Fourth Army not to move, but the commander of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army was Liu Bingzhe under his control, and it was obvious that he had the authority to do so. In order to launch this fierce artillery bombardment, Qi Yuan specially prepared more than 200 medium and large-caliber artillery pieces and rocket launchers for the Fifth Division, including 108 122mm howitzers and quite a few 107mm rocket artillery. As soon as the artillery bombardment of such intensity was launched, there was a landslide and the ground cracked, and the Japanese army, which was completely unexpected, was dealt a painful blow.
In particular, those high-ranking Japanese officers around Jingguan basically lost their lives in such a horrific shelling. The ordinary Japanese soldiers who followed behind were not very lucky, because they were suspended in the state of march, so they could not find any reliable cover, and they were the most obvious target under the guns of the New Fourth Army in the middle of the road. Even if some of the more resourceful ones fled to the paddy fields or small forests on both sides of the road, the ambush was not simply a round of artillery to pass.
The infantry of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army, as well as the soldiers of the two regiments of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army who had arrived only a few hours earlier, carried out a surprise attack on the Japanese army when they were in a big mess by artillery bombardment. If the two sides open up their positions, or fight like that in the position, the 13th Division, as an old powerhouse, will still be somewhat stronger than the current New Fourth Army. However, now one side has been premeditated and has been in ambush for a long time, and the other side is in a trance and in chaos, and the Japanese army can only be arbitrarily slaughtered by the New Fourth Army.
The youth class also followed the comrades of the 5th Division and participated in the ambush battle against the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. Qi Yuan also did not manipulate the Wheel King to kill the Japanese army, the more such a battle, in fact, the more conducive to the growth of the New Fourth Army, on the one hand, there will be no large-scale losses, it is easy to cultivate confidence, on the other hand, the technical and tactical ability will also grow rapidly with the war.
Qi Yuan pressed the 10-round bridge clip into the magazine of the SKS semi-automatic rifle in his hand, as a super sniper like Natasha with the shooting skills, even if he was holding an ordinary semi-automatic rifle in his hand, his shooting skills could no longer be described as simply terrifying.
He glanced at his front and fired continuously with the rifle in his hand, all the bullets as if they had their own guidance devices, and hit the chaotic Japanese soldiers more than 300 meters away without accident. Moreover, these intermediate-power bullets all hit the fatal part of these Japanese soldiers -- their carotid artery.
The Japanese soldiers could only counterattack and shoot at the New Fourth Army, which had its own sandbag bunkers, in a panic. However, the firepower of the Japanese army could not suppress the New Fourth Army at all, and after the New Fourth Army achieved semi-automation, its firepower was more than three times that of the Japanese army, and the New Fourth Army still had a lot of assault rifles, and the suppressive power was even more obvious.
After a brief exchange of fire with the New Fourth Army, these Japanese troops gave up the option of breaking through the New Fourth Army, and instead scattered and fled in the absence of a command from above, intending to escape on their own. After discovering that the Japanese army was showing signs of collapse, the commanders and fighters at all levels of the New Fourth Army, under the leadership of party members and regimental members, launched a final charge against the Japanese army.
Relatively speaking, the battle to eliminate the 13th Division was easier than the 6th Division, after all, the 6th Division was located in Dangtu County, and although it was disrupted by the explosion, there were still some favorable terrain and environment that could be used, which also caused some trouble to the New Fourth Army. However, the 13th Group Army was in the field, and not only was it disrupted by artillery bombardment in advance, but the New Fourth Army also had an advantage in firepower and numbers, and it was not a problem to push the Japanese army flat.
Still following the supreme instructions of the Iron Commander, since the 13th Division also participated in the Nanjing Massacre, it was treated the same as the 6th Division, and any two-footed walking in the entire division was killed. However, this time, Qi Yuan did not plan to build Jingguan again, in fact, he was going to get the Wheel King to bring in and incinerate the remains of these Japanese soldiers, so that the ashes of the Japanese atrocities would be spread on the road of Nanjing City in the future, trampled by thousands of people, so that this group of evil ghosts would never be able to live forever.
