Chapter 157: The Treasure Sword is Easy to Break
The common code name of the Japanese Second Division is "Yong", so it is also called the Yongshi Regiment, because it was formed in Sendai, and the soldiers of this division are more adapted to the cold climate. When the Kwantung Army launched the "918" incident, the brave division took advantage of China's "non-resistance" policy to sweep through the three northeastern provinces.
But after entering the customs, they joined the Central China Front, and their good luck ran out. Although their opponents are still "familiar old friends" -- the 77th Armored Army and the Youzhou Army, which were reorganized from the Northeast Army.
In the first battle of Xiangtan, in the joint attack of the Han army, the 29th Huizu Wakamatsu Wing was basically abandoned, and only a few hundred wounded retreated; The 16th Shinbata Wing and the 4th Sendai Wing also suffered heavy casualties in the Han Air Force's air raids, and the only relatively intact Takada Detachment served as the advance force for this strategic shift. After capturing Nanxian and revealing the intentions of the troops, the Han planes stuck up like kraft candy, bombing and diving all the time. And now, China's miscellaneous troops actually dare to post it, and Muto Daisa of the Takata United team can't bear it, "Is this what China said about the tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs?" β
Muto pulled out the ancestral sword engraved with his surname, "Give it to you!" "Even on the way to transfer, even if he has lost his heavy weapons, Muto has to prove to the group of Chinese miscellaneous troops that the army ace of the Great Japanese Army Empire cannot be provoked," Muto was angry, and the consequences were serious. β
Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army, was a famous general of the Northern Expedition, who defeated Wu Peiyu and Sun Chuanfang in Hunan and Jiangxi respectively, and played the title of Iron Army for the Fourth Army. After taking office as commander of the New Fourth Army, in just over three years, he developed the 10,000-strong force of the New Fourth Army from more than 10,000 people when it was first established into a strong force of up to 70,000 people.
But this place in Nanxian is not suitable for raiding and disturbing wars. Nanxian is the only county in China that is artificially enclosed, most of Nanxian can be described as a horse flat river, it is a kind of incomprehensible flat, standing on the land, there is no obstacle, except for the distant embankment is higher than the large flat land in the field of vision, these lands, all of which are the delta formed by the muddy yellow Lotus River brought by the Yangtze River sediment.
In such a terrain, once there is an exchange of fire, it is difficult for the troops to quickly break away, the soldiers of the special task force lie on the yellow mud ground, calmly shooting the little devils who have fallen into a frantic charge, and a few light machine guns and long-handled grenades are their strongest suppressive firepower. This is not an attack at all, this is a counter-fire, there is no trench counter-fire on either side. Seeing that the casualties were relatively large, Ye Ting led the troops to retreat while fighting, but the Japanese army had already divided their troops to outflank the direction they came, and the special task force had to retreat to the high embankment at the end of the yellow muddy ground on the other side.
From time to time, soldiers were hit and fell to the ground, and the accurate marksmanship of the Japanese veterans was undoubtedly displayed at this time, the retreat of the special service group was a road to death, and the corpses of the gray uniformed soldiers were scattered from the initial ambush to the bottom of the embankment, and the wounded waited until the little devils chased in, rolled into the middle of the crowd and pulled grenades......
"Everyone, retreat to the embankment and shoot high!" Ye Ting gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, even though he had experienced a hundred battles, but in such a battlefield situation, retreating to the embankment was the only thing that Commander Ye could do. "Perhaps, this is the place where everyone will fight to the death, but we can only drag the Japanese army and drag it until the Allied forces encircle and annihilate them, and it is worth our death!"
"It's worth it, there are hundreds of us, tens of thousands of little devils, it's worth it to die!" The military heart is available, and the Ye army is very strict in governing the army, but it is prestigious, and the soldiers are very convinced.
The secret service group uses tragic sacrifices to interpret the iron-blooded military soul of the Chinese man. Indeed, the self-isolation of the feudal dynasty made the central powers fall behind in the wave of the industrial revolution, but the descendants of the dragon have the backbone of the dragon, and they cannot be broken or bent! At times of national survival and national crisis, there will always be people who stand up, just like this group of New Fourth Army, which is pale and poorly armed but iron-clad. Many of them can't say anything about the great righteousness of the nation, let alone know what "peace is at home" or the so-called "good neighborliness and friendship", they only know that if there are robbers in their homes, they will beat them out, even if they need to pay with their own lives for this.
The discipline of "I'd rather be a Chinese guillotine than a slave to the knees of the Japanese invaders" has never been understood and upheld by those social elites.
The gunfire on the embankment became more and more sparse, and Muto Osa raised the family heirloom knife again, "They are out of bullets, give them teeth!" β
Maybe it's because God can't see the arrogance of the little devils, and the unique rumble of jets is heard in the sky again, and the H36 whistler arrives in time, and four bombers dive in turn, 20 mm guns and 12. The screams of heavy machine guns of 7 caliber sounded at the same time. In this puzzling flat land, the Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms became rabbits with no way to escape, and fell in unison like wheat under the dive fire of war eagles. What's more, they were directly hit by the machine gun, smashed into pieces, and sprayed on the bodies and faces of their colleagues around them in the blood mist. Muto Osa was pushed down by the staff officer next to him after hearing the sound of the plane, and luckily escaped the catastrophe, and when he got up, he cursed "Yasu! There was something sticky on his face, and he reached out and touched it, "Yayi?" "On the white glove was a black eyeball with a broken crystal, but I didn't know which of his subordinates belonged to.
Don't say who is brave and cowardly, when you are surrounded by the blood and ...... of your comrades-in-arms Crashes are inevitable. What's more, in such terrain, in the face of bombers diving down again, despair and begging are the only things you can do, can you still be brave enough?
Muto Neng, who was born in a samurai family, bravely waved the family heirloom sword, slashed at the side and threw away the weapon, and shouted "I want to go home" while crying, but the soldiers who fell into collapse were not limited to this one, more and more soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender, Muto roared angrily and slashed wildly, his behavior had already attracted the attention of the pilot, a string of machine gun bullets fired, the point of the bullet from Muto's feet to his chest, Muto's entire abdominal cavity was shattered and looked at the broken knife in his hand before closing his eyes, He finally understood: it turned out that what his grandfather said was false, and the family heirloom knife could not resist the blow of heavy machine gun bullets at all!
The special service group that had run out of bullets on the embankment was stunned to appreciate this scene, and of course General Ye Ting was dumbfounded: It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this! Planes alone can crush half of the devil's wing...... No, it's total annihilation. The devils who did not die knew that it would be difficult to run away in such a terrain, so they all threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground and surrendered - they had to kneel, and the pilots could not tell who had surrendered, and those who stood were all shot. This is the devil's trump card unit, the Sendai Second Division?
The clever soldiers of the special service group have slid down the embankment to collect the weapons of the devils, and the excitement is very good-looking, but hurry up and get a gun with bullets in your hand, it is more reassuring!
General Ye Ting, who was relieved, hurriedly shouted, "Gather the prisoners to watch the pressure and collect the bullets!" β
The Japanese army was not invincible. Their arrogance is based on the opponent's ineffective or even non-resistance. When they encounter stronger opponents, they will immediately show their prototypes...... The fierceness in disguise can hardly hide the inferiority complex and cowardice in their bones! ββExcerpt from "God of a Hundred Battles: The Biography of Ye Ting"
