Chapter 307: The Bloody Battle of Nanjing (12)
"I judge that the Japanese army is not well prepared for this attack on Nanjing, especially the ammunition, don't look at their current fight, it won't be long before their shortcomings will be revealed." Leng Feng convened a staff meeting to say.
"Yes, the Japanese artillery shells are much thinner than just now, but their attack strength has not weakened, which shows that their shell consumption is amazing!"
"Staff Officer Yang!"
"Here!"
"Report on the numbers you've calculated."
"Excluding the 75 mm infantry guns and field artillery, there is no way to count that, we have calculated, the Japanese army launched an attack this morning, and fired a total of more than 5,000 heavy artillery shells of more than 100 mm, and about 800 to 1,000 aerial bombs, which is almost the sum of the shells consumed by the Japanese army in the first attack on Nanjing (I have not found a specific number, readers can tell me if you have an exact number) ......"
"According to Staff Officer Yang's statistics and calculations, the artillery shells carried by the Japanese army have almost run out, and the next battle will be between you and me, and I will have you, and the test will and courage of our officers and soldiers will be."
"The Japanese army is the army that pays the least attention to logistics support in the world, of course, there are historical reasons, so once their shells are finished, the artillery will become a pile of scrap metal, so we must tell the officers and soldiers below that they don't have to be afraid of the Japanese artillery fire, calm down, fight hard, we can not only defeat the Japanese army, but also give them a heavy blow!"
Hiroji Inoue is a veteran of the Ninth Division, whose hometown is from Kanazawa Tomii Prefecture, and was discharged from the army two years ago. Conscripted into the army in August of this year. Join the reserve corps of the 9th Division.
After coming to China. has been serving as a garrison in the reserve corps, and his military rank has been promoted from the captain before he was discharged to one level, to a military cao, and his position has also become a detachment leader (that is, a squad leader).
Subsequently, the 9th Division suffered heavy losses in the attack on Nanjing, and a large number of reserve corps were withdrawn to directly replenish the field infantry wing, and his detachment was directly incorporated into the 1st detachment of the 2nd squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 19th Infantry Wing.
For the first attack, he was glad that his brigade was not incorporated into the attacking force. Rather, it was placed in reserve.
However, perhaps more unfortunately, the ensuing battle far reflected his perception of Chinese soldiers.
The marksmanship of these people is very bad, so bad that they can't bear to witness, and Inoue Hiroji even feels that the fighting quality of these Chinese soldiers is not as good as that of a farmer in the Japanese countryside.
But they are very cunning, hiding where you can't see, stealthily aiming, and then firing guns. Or sneak up behind you and attack suddenly!
They attack people's positions, but they don't kill them. Maybe it's because they don't have professional training, but they're so shameless that they target men's lower bodies.
The weapons are also quirky, and sometimes, pick up a brick or a wooden stick on the ground.
Inoue's soldiers put down three or four of them as soon as they looked at them.
When they caught up, they found that these people suddenly seemed to disappear, and in this empty and strange city, they were the masters, and the Japanese soldiers were a group of strangers who broke in.
They didn't gather together, they were scattered, and sometimes they were alone, and they were two people, but they echoed each other.
They make such provocative gestures, uttering mocking strange screams......
The soldiers, unable to bear this insult, chased after them, and as a result, many never returned.
He was scared, the first time he felt scared and helpless on the battlefield, and the first time he retreated to the safe area, there were only four of the thirteen people who attacked together.
If he hadn't ordered the evacuation in time, I'm afraid that his detachment would have all been confessed to that terrible alley.
For the first time, I felt that the people of China were so terrible, that they were invincible.
Less than a tenth of the people returned, and many of them were wounded, depressed, and some even collapsed, and no matter how much the commander slapped him, he could not regain his confidence.
I heard that the soldier had encountered the sharpshooters of the Shina Army, and everyone around him was killed one by one, and he ran back in a frenzy, only to save his life.
However, Inoue felt that this sharpshooter had deliberately spared his life, because fear could be infected, and his experience had cast a shadow over the eyes of many soldiers.
Fear spreads throughout the wing, and the new wing commander Matsumoto Daisa is to replace the original Hitomi Hidesansa, and I heard that Hitomi Hidesa was captured by the Shina people and brutally killed.
However, listening to the surviving soldiers of the 19th Wing, it was seen that Osaku was not killed, but became a prisoner of the Shina people, and now I don't know where he is being held, but at least it is certain that he is still alive.
The newspaper said that the Japanese army was not welcome to the Chinese people, and they hated and hated the Japanese very much, but in Inoue's view, the Japanese army was barbarously invading and enslaving the country and the people.
They are not qualified to hate the Chinese, but the Chinese are qualified to hate them, and the murder committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing is too serious.
In order to occupy this country, for the future of the hundreds of millions of people of the empire, the empire launched this war, I don't know if it was right or wrong, Inoue didn't know if he had a chance to survive this war.
But he knew in his heart that he didn't want to fight anymore.
"Get up, get up, cowards, you cowards......" The commander shouted invective, and the violent Nagano squad leader was kicking the soldiers off the ground one by one.
"Quick, get in line!"
This was the beginning of a new round of attack, Inoue stood up numbly, walked to his position, he was appointed as Cao Chang, and put together another detachment and handed it over to him to command.
Wild vegetable rice balls, two per person, and a bowl of broth with oil flowers floating on it, of course, you can't see the meat, which is already very good, at least let you eat enough to go to the battlefield.
For many, this may be the last meal in the world.
For the honor of the samurai, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, and for the future of the Great Japanese Empire, the young soldiers are going to war again.
Inoue couldn't help but have a thought, what will be the lunch party of the Shina Army on the other side?
They probably won't have rice balls and broth to eat, right?
On the position of the National Salvation Division.
"Come, we played well today, and the brigade will treat us, a box of canned beef, rice, cabbage and roast meat for each person, and it will be good to beat the little devil when you are full." The cooking class came to the front with the food hopping.
Smelling the smell of food, the heads came out one by one.
"It's so fragrant, is this enough?"
"It's enough, but let's eat leisurely, many of you have experienced diarrhea......"
"Got it, let's divide the food, I'm starving!" Someone had already rushed up, and a bucket of rice was instantly emptied.
Cong Hu walked up with a sniper rifle.
"Any more food?"
Looking at the empty rice bucket and the few cabbage leaves left at the bottom of the soup basin, everyone scattered in a hurry and quickly slipped clean.
"This, Chief Cong, I still have two hard-boiled eggs here, and Chief Liang specially explained that you and Chief Leopard have one ...... each."
Cong Hu glanced at him, didn't speak, directly took a hard-boiled egg, and then left with a sniper rifle.
The Japanese soldiers all carry dry rations, and if they have the time to search for it, they may have unexpected gains.
"These rabbit cubs, lawless, actually robbed the lunch of the two brothers, Cong Hu and Leopard?" Wu Xinhua received the report, which was like thunder.
"Lvza, don't be angry, you can't blame the people below for this, they don't know that there is a lunch for the tiger and the leopard chief, besides, didn't they give each of them an egg?"
"Can an egg be used for a ball?" Wu Xinhua said angrily, "I said that this cooking squad leader didn't know to leave two copies for them alone, and they were all mixed together, what's the matter?" ”
"This, why don't you send two more copies?"
"Send two, can you find both, now?" Liang Dong scolded, and specially instructed, but it turned out to be such a thing.
This Cong Hu is Leng Feng's sworn brother, and the leopard used to be Liao Sen's guard, and both of them are masters with unique skills.
If you get married, you will have small shoes to wear in the future.
"That's it, I'll talk to them when I go back, it won't happen." Liang Dong Road.
"Lao Liang, it's really not good, give Deputy Commander Leng a call to explain?" Wu Xinhua said.
"I'm going to be scolded, if you beat you, maybe it's better." Liang Dong smiled bitterly.
"Scolded?" Wu Xinhua was a little puzzled.
"Forget it, don't fight, this is not a big deal, brigade seat, let's concentrate on dealing with the next attack of the Japanese army." Liang Dong shook his head slightly.
Wu Xinhua still couldn't help but make a call to Leng Feng.
Leng Feng thought that something big had happened, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, if it was Liang Dong, he would have been scolded a long time ago, but the other party was Wu Xinhua, and he had to save some face, but he was still not polite: "The two of them can't grab food, they deserve to be hungry, it's okay, don't worry about them, they won't die of hunger." ”
It is indeed a shame to not grab food, Cong Hu and Leopard are more arrogant, of course they will not sue the 40th Brigade for this kind of thing.
It's just that the two of them are holding their breath in their hearts, and they all sprinkle it on the devil.
In this way, the Japanese army that attacked in the afternoon was even more miserable, and the name of 'black and white' spread all over the battlefield at once, becoming a pair of shining killing stars.
The Japanese army constantly adjusted its tactics to cope with the "rogue" style of the National Salvation Division, but with little success.
Street fighting, the Japanese army has also studied, but it is not deep, after all, in many previous wars, the probability of street fighting is very small, once the city is broken, the captured side will always be defeated, there is no chance to carry out this kind of street by street, house by house competition.
Perhaps the blast police who catch criminals are more experienced in dealing with this type of enemy.
But the police may only deal with ordinary civilians with sharp weapons, but they are by no means well-trained soldiers.
