Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 37 Trapped Beasts
After the end of the shelling, Nagami Toshitoku uncharacteristically no longer threw troops into one squadron at a time, but invested an entire infantry brigade to launch a general attack on the position of the 344th Regiment.
Due to its overwhelming superiority in equipment and firepower, small Japan rarely invested too many troops in its attack, and generally invested an infantry squadron or even an infantry squad in each attack.
The reason is obvious, although investing more troops can increase the power of the attack, but it will inevitably cause the formation to be crowded, making the attacking troops a live target for the enemy, which will inevitably increase casualties, so unless necessary, small Japan will generally not launch a group charge of the size of a brigade or above.
Nagami Toshitoku was actually unwilling to invest too many troops to launch a general attack, but there was no way, Okamura Ninji just put pressure on Honma Masaharu, and Honma Masaharu then put pressure on Nagami Toshitoku, in a word, let Nagami Toshitoku open up Wanjialing at all costs and rescue the Matsuura Division.

When Nagami Toshitoku threw in an entire infantry brigade to launch a general attack, the Iino Wing also began to fight the trapped beasts
Due to the lack of infantry artillery and aviation support, and the terrain was even more unfavorable to the Japanese army, the difficulty of the attack was far more difficult than that of Nagami Toshitoku's Infantry Regiment.
Ten minutes ago, the attack of Iino United failed again, and the half squadron that was thrown into the attack only came back half a squadron.
Kenten Iino gathered the remaining remnants of the entire wing and named them, and as a result, there were only more than 900 people left, which was not even the size of a brigade, and most of them were wounded, and the casualties among the officers were even greater, two of the three captains were killed, and all the twelve infantry squadron leaders were killed, and now they were all represented by the squad leaders.
Kenten Iino was cold-blooded and cruel, but he was also stung by this huge casualty.
The old devil unbuttoned his military uniform, exposed his chest and abdomen, exposed his swarthy chest hair, and took out a forehead embroidered with the word kamikaze from his satchel and tied it on his forehead.
"Warriors of the L13th Infantry Wing." Iikenkenshi pulled out his saber, pointed the sharp tip of the knife at the hill guarded by the national army in front of him, and shouted through gritted teeth, "Emperor Bixia is watching you in Tokyo, and the entire empire is watching you, for the sake of the holy war, for the greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere, Kuyi chicken ......"
"Kui Chicken"
"Kui Chicken"
"Kui Chicken"
More than 900 remnants of the Japanese army roared one after another, these little Japan had been brainwashed by militarist thoughts, and there was only a fanatical jihad obsession in their minds, and now they were red-eyed, and then let Iino Ken fan more than a dozen words, and suddenly they were no longer silent, one by one roared like beasts, Iino Kenten took the saber and led forward, and more than 900 Japanese soldiers swept away like a tide on the opposite mountain.
Kenten Iino originally planned to personally lead the troops to launch a decisive charge, but seeing the high morale of the troops, he took back the steps he had just stepped out, and just let the deputy wing captain lead the charge of the team, in the final analysis, the old devil is actually afraid of death, if it is not necessary, Kenten Iino will never risk his own life.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were flooding up the mountain, Qi Yongnian's face suddenly became extremely pale.
After most of the fierce fighting, the Iino Wing certainly suffered heavy casualties, and the 343rd Regiment, which occupied the advantage of the terrain, also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 2,000 people in the whole regiment, and now there are less than 400 people left, because the strength is seriously insufficient, and even dozens of seriously wounded have not been out of the line of fire, holding rifles and insisting on fighting.
Due to the fierce offensive of Little Japan and the fierce fighting, the equipment losses of the 343rd Regiment were equally serious, all four Makqin heavy machine guns of the whole regiment had been scrapped, nine of the twelve Czech light machine guns were broken, and the remaining three barrels were also seriously hot.
To make matters worse, there is not much ammunition left.
Little Japan soon approached within 500 meters, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenadiers of the fire support group began to suppress the fire of the Nationalist troops on the mountain, and the M-caliber bullets splashed like water, causing smoke and dust to splash on the positions of the Nationalist troops, and the remaining 300 officers and men of the 343rd Regiment were huddled in the trenches, unable to lift their heads.
It was not safe to hide in the trenches, the little Japanese grenadiers and light mortars were extremely accurate, and from time to time grenades fell into the trenches with short screams, accompanied by violent explosions, and the officers and men of the 343rd Regiment were constantly blown into the air by the air waves generated by the explosions, or buried by the mud and sand raised by the air waves.
Qi Yongnian and the remnants of the 343rd Regiment could only grit their teeth and endure it.
At a distance of 200 meters, the small Japanese support heavy machine guns stopped firing, and the grenadiers and mortars began to extend the fire on the deep position of the national army on the top of the mountain, and the remnants of the soldiers who were cowering in the trenches sat up one after another, and after a few moments at most, the little Japanese should rush to the front of the position, and another fierce battle was about to begin.
Qi Yongnian took out seven bullets from his pocket and pressed them into the magazine, and then pressed the magazine into the chamber, then turned his head and shouted: "Save some bullets for Lao Tzu, and fight when little Japan is close." ”
Qi Yongnian's command was quickly conveyed, and more than 300 officers and soldiers released their fingers holding the trigger one after another.
At a distance of 100 meters, little Japan no longer made useless tactical evasion moves, and one by one straightened up and launched a full-speed sprint towards the mountainside with bayonets in hand, and the position of the national army halfway up the mountain was still silent, neither the sound of gunfire nor the figure of a single national army could be seen, as if there was no one there.
At a distance of fifty meters, the officers and men of the 343rd Regiment hiding in the trenches could even hear the wheezing of Little Japan.
The next moment, the officers and soldiers of the 343rd Regiment on the mountainside position stood up from the trenches one after another, or half-knelt up from the foxhole, raised their guns and shot at the bottom of the mountain, and the only three Czech light machine guns also fired fiercely at the same time, and the dense barrage suddenly covered the Japanese army like rain.
Due to the steepness of the mountain road, there are only a few roads that can go up the mountain, resulting in the formation of the little Japanese seems to be a little crowded, and as a result, under the dense fire of the national army, there are heavy casualties, only a moment's effort, the front of the national army position is already full of Japanese corpses, after paying the price of 100 casualties, the small Japanese offensive was broken down again, and the gray retreat.
Militaristic thinking can strengthen the will of little Japan to a certain extent, but it cannot completely replace the will, not to mention that most of the soldiers of the Matsuura Division are reserves, and even those who have participated in military training! There are not many reserves, and some of the junior officers are from the Dipei Regiment, who have participated in several large-scale battles and have strong willpower.
But after the death of these officers, the will of little Japan immediately collapsed.
Qi Yongnian inserted the Browning pistol back into the holster, got up and yelled: "Quick, collect ammunition"
The national army's own ammunition has little left, if you don't collect small Japan's ammunition, there is no way to fight, leaving more than 200 remnants in front of the position to collect weapons and ammunition, Qi Yongnian took the adjutant straight to the division headquarters, the 343 regiment has been holding on to the top of the mountain for nearly a day and a night, all the ammunition is gone, and you have to find the division seat to withdraw the troops.
(Dividing Line)
Iino Kenten was so angry at the bottom of the mountain that he jumped like thunder, for this attack, the old devil had high hopes, and he didn't want to end in defeat, but in addition to being angry, the old devil finally recognized the situation, the current situation no longer allowed him to spare his life, he had to take the lead and personally lead the death squad to launch a decisive charge.
"Shame, you are a disgrace to the Imperial Army, and it will become a disgrace to the Japanese Empire" Kenten Iino brandished his saber to stop the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and shouted loudly, "As an imperial soldier, as a proud imperial samurai, turning around and running away on the battlefield will be a stain that you will never erase for the rest of your life, and I am ashamed of you"
The more than 700 Japanese soldiers who retreated looked humiliated, and these little Japan, which had been seriously brainwashed by militaristic thinking, did feel a deep sense of shame, people are like this, they like the affirmation of others the most and are most afraid of the denial of others, after being strengthened by the collective will of the army, whether it is the Japanese army or the national army, they all need the affirmation of others, especially the affirmation of the commander, otherwise, the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun of the National Army and the Order of the Golden Rooster of Little Japan Weishenme will be regarded as the highest honor?
After stopping the defeated soldiers, Kenten Iino continued to roar loudly: "If you want to wash away the shame you are carrying, there is only one chance, rush up the mountain with me, take the position, open the breakthrough passage, kill all the Shina soldiers on the mountain, kill all the Shina people, kill them, kill them all......"
"Kill them all"
"Kill them all"
"Kill them all"
It must be admitted that Kenten Iino still has two brushes, and with a few words, the defeated soldiers who were still demoralized just now immediately became demoralized again, and they howled like beasts.
This time, Iono Magi also followed.
