Chapter 42 The people of China are too vicious

Katamura didn't actually react truthfully to the situation. He avoided the importance and only said how many people ran over, but he did not say that most of the devils who stayed on Cotton Boat Island and were lost in the Yangtze River had gone to see Amaterasu, and the other large part was lying in a pool of blood and moaning, and it was really unknown how many of these people would survive in the end. You must know that when the Cadet Army implements battlefield discipline, it doesn't bring any water at all. And the bunker group battle group led by Yamamuro Sowu and the two devil officers added up to less than 3,000 people, and many of these people have been injured - nearly 40,000 devils, and now they can really be regarded as surviving, in fact, only these 4,000 people who crossed the river.

However, only about 500 cannons have won such fruitful results, which is unprecedented, if not unprecedented.

From then on, Cotton Boat Island was destined to become another historical milestone for the Cadet Army, and at the same time, it would also become a nightmare for the Japanese army.

Outside, the sound of gunfire rumbled, and in the medical room of Bunker No. 4, Ouyang Yun sat quietly, holding the hand of the white tassel, but the expression on his face was extremely calm.

When the flare was raised, he had already anticipated the outcome of the battle. As a traverser, he knew better than anyone else the power of the dense bombardment of a narrow area by a group of artillery, and naturally he was more confident than the others.

The most dangerous and difficult period has passed, both in relation to the fortress of Madang and in relation to the white tassels. Although she showed no signs of waking up, her body temperature had dropped and her heartbeat was normal. All of these calmed Ouyang Yun down. After a period of madness, he finally behaved like a commander-in-chief.

Regarding Ouyang Yun's arrival, except for He Zhengzhen and others, who had to oppose it from the perspective of the overall situation, the other middle and low-level officers raised their hands to welcome and support them. For them, the commander-in-chief is an undefeated legend, but as long as he is there, no matter how difficult the battle, it is possible to win. And today's battle will certainly become a typical example.

When Ouyang Yun left, Chen Jiayao was responsible for accompanying Bai Tassel. Out of guilt, she always felt that Bai Tassel would suffer this catastrophe because of her own reasons. interfered sideways, and as a result, she and Ouyang Yun fell out of harmony, so she would go down to the grassroots company in a negative mood. When she first heard that Bai Tassel was injured, she even had such an idea, if time could be turned back, she would choose to avoid the relationship between her and Ouyang Yun to avoid this kind of thing.

The artillery bombardment began, the Japanese army's offensive on the bunker group became more and more crazy, and more and more devils launched suicide attacks, which made the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Third Division immediately soar, and soon after Ouyang Yun returned, Chen Jiayao rushed to the No. 5 bunker to participate in the ambulance work. And Ouyang Yun naturally took over the responsibility of taking care of the white tassel.

Bunker No. 5 is now facing some of the devils led by Sotake Yamamuro.

Yamamuro Munetake gathered more than 6,000 people along the way to support the front line, but was attacked by artillery fire on the way, and finally only more than 1,000 people arrived safely. The soldiers around him fell one by one, which made Yamamuro Sotake's heart ache. He really couldn't understand why a good battle would be fought like this? Then I thought, what did Okamura Ninji do to attack Cotton Boat Island first? The direction of Peng Langyu, and even the direction of Qianjiawan upstream of Madang Fortress, are very good landing sites.

There are many devils who think like this, such as Yamada Joji, who was directly hit by a cannonball, so he turned into a pile of minced meat to meet Amaterasu. Yamada Joji's position was too high, and at that time, there were too many devils gathered around him. Zhang Tianquan saw through the binoculars, so he gave an order to mobilize a regiment of artillery to carry out a covering artillery bombardment of his area. Well, when he heard the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air, a group of devils around Yamada Joji pounced on him to protect him, but in the end, they were only engulfed in artillery fire together.

On the bank of Guantian, Canaan Dazuo packed up his mood and was about to take revenge on the Xuebing army who brainwashed Junko with the most fierce and cruel attack, when the devils he sent to attack the Ganqinling Artillery Regiment returned one after another. The first thing Captain Akiyama Shaoyun said when he saw him was: "Dazuo, hurry up and retreat!" Cotton Boat Island, the main force of our army on Cotton Boat Island, has been defeated by the Chinese people! ”

Akiyama Shaoyun did not carry out Canaan's order, and led the team to retreat without authorization, and Canaan, who was in a very bad mood, suddenly had the urge to kill and set an example, but when he heard this, he had to temporarily suppress the murderous intent in his heart, and said: "Akiyama Nakasa, please pay attention to your words, on Cotton Boat Island, there are nearly 40,000 imperial troops!" ”

Akiyama witnessed it through a telescope, and he said with a sad face, "Dazuo, I saw it with my own eyes." Dazuo, you don't know the tragic situation of the imperial army on Cotton Boat Island--it's unbearable! The people were so vicious that they used at least a thousand cannons to fire a salvo. How big is Cotton Boat Island? With this kind of fighting style of the Chinese people, no matter how many imperial troops can't stand it! Sir, think about it, if one of those men drops the muzzle of the cannon......"

If it is said that the artillery bombardment of Zhang Tianquan's headquarters lasted for a quarter of an hour, inflicting a double hellish blow on the Japanese troops on Cotton Boat Island, then for the Japanese troops on the bank of Guantian, it was an extremely strong spiritual shock. When they were still on the north shore, they had already seen the power of the artillery of the Cadet Army. At that time, because the target of the artillery of the Cadet Corps was the gunboats on the Yangtze River, and the gunboats were very scattered, they did not see the intensity of the regional shelling, so they did not feel how terrifying it was. Now, they are very close to the artillery position of the Cotton Boat Island and the Cadet Army, and they have tasted the severity of small-scale artillery bombardment before, so they can empathize with the experience of their colleagues on Cotton Boat Island.

Regardless of whether Canaan admits it or not, Takahashi Yoshiko's remarks just now have had a great negative impact on the officers and soldiers under his command, especially the grassroots soldiers. It can be said that the soldiers under his command are more vulnerable than any other time at this time. As for the retreat of Akiyama's brigade, in fact, this was not what Akiyama meant, he couldn't bear the fear of war among the soldiers below, and was worried that fighting in this state would only backfire, so he had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

They made a detour to the flower house, which was closer to Cotton Boat Island, and they were more touched by the shocking scene of "a thousand cannons". Naturally, this took a heavy toll on their morale.

At this time, because of Takahashi's injury, there was a desire to fight among the female soldiers - in their opinion, Canaan, the devil was really not a man, it was simply too hateful. This is a set of mouths and a set of hands, he can really be so ruthless! No wonder there is a legend that little devils are not human, looking at the performance of this devil officer, isn't it exactly? Japanese women can make such great sacrifices for China's anti-Japanese cause, how can we, as Chinese women, not show a better performance?

Once this kind of thought breeds, other negative emotions in the hearts of female soldiers are slowly forgotten.

The performance of the women's group fell in the eyes of the devils, making them more and more suspicious that the appearance of this group of female soldiers was simply a ploy of the Xuebing Army, and the Xuebing Army did not know how many means there were behind the Xuebing Army. They also became more and more apprehensive.
