Chapter 133: Ono commits suicide
The first batch of devil fighters in the air expanded the search range, and the dozen or so people in Mao Chengcheng and the defenders' artillery became the targets of their greatest attention, and they swept over the coastal defense forward positions where the defenders were hiding again and again, and no one noticed the mysteries in the floating sand.
The remnants of the Ono Brigade Marine Devils began the landing battle again, and as soon as the first batch of Devils came ashore, they began to charge. About a brigade of devils, under the shouting of a captain, quickly rushed to Chen Zhong and the others.
When the devil began to charge, Chen Zhong and his apprentices did not move at all, one by one like sand sculptures. Emmons was a little nervous, he glanced at Chen Zhong with chapped lips from time to time, and seeing that Chen Zhong's face did not change in the slightest, he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and made a gesture to his subordinates not to shoot.
100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters - seeing that the devil was about to rush through the sand that represented the first line of defense, many French soldiers could not bear the nervousness and began to squirm. Chen Zhong sensed this, glanced back, gritted his teeth and shouted "hit" first, and then shouted: "Rush!" "Got up from the bunker and pulled the trigger with his right hand to knock down one of the current devils.
"Tick tock!" The trumpet sounded immediately, "Da Da Da - Bang Bang...... Thundered! "Gunshots and explosions rang out at once. The cadets of a regiment almost all launched a charge at the same time as the trumpet of the charge sounded, and the French soldiers of a regiment also launched a charge about ten seconds later than the cadets.
The devil was defenseless, and his stare from the front fell into a large area.
On the command boat, Yamada and Ono were nervous when they heard the gunshots, and they immediately raised their binoculars again to look over, and saw the rows of defenders standing up from the sand and starting a counter-charge, Ono felt dizzy and almost fell down. Yamada's reaction was more unwilling than him - there were only two brigades left in the Marine Corps, which was definitely not alive against the Cadet Army, and the other one had already begun to disembark and wade into the water to land, at this time it was to give the order to retreat, and it is estimated that there will be no more than one squadron that can come back alive. "Eight squares! Where did these cadets come from? Quick, let Sakai and them come back-" Yamada shouted heartbreakingly, his voice instantly hoarse.
There was no suspense in the battle, and the devils of the two brigades, except for more than 400 people who immediately boarded the boat and fled when they saw the opportunity, all the others were annihilated.
The battle lasted only about twenty minutes, and by the time the devil aviation entered the battle, there were no more devils alive on the beach. "Phew-da-da-" The devil fighter began to drop bombs and strafe, Chen Zhong, who was covered in blood, looked up, turned around sharply and gave an order that he had never given: "Brothers, escape!" ”
The battle was a dream for the French. Even Emmons didn't expect that the battle could be fought like this—smoke bombs, through artillery blockades, lurking, ambushing—and he didn't think he could have done such a crazy thing without experiencing it himself. No, crazy is not enough to describe it accurately, it should be ingenious.
And that's not the most important thing. The biggest gain of the French is that the Japanese army is not as strong as it is rumored! Isn't it? A volley of guns fell over a large area; It is said that the Japanese army's stabbing skills are quite good, but it seems to be an exaggeration, you must know that we are on the battlefield for the first time, and many people are still shaking their calves and stomachs when they stab out the guns! But when it comes to really fighting, it seems that we French have a higher winning rate.
When the Japanese began to fight, the French made a new discovery. This discovery is related to the Cadet Army - after the previous battle side by side, the French originally thought that the Cadet Army could dare to fight desperately and almost did not know what death was, but when the Cadet soldiers began to flee victoriously, they found that the Cadet Army was equally proficient in escaping and fighting - these Chinese seemed to be reckless, but in fact they were better than ghosts, which can be seen from the ratio of the number of people on both sides who fell in the shelling and bombardment.
"A magical battle!" At the summary meeting afterwards, Emmons summed it up this way.
The losses of the defenders were actually not low, but because most of the casualties were caused by Japanese naval guns and Japanese aircraft, the French often deliberately omitted this point when talking about this battle, and focused on how they fought against the devil's ground forces.
The defenders threw in four regiments and one artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment disappeared from the battlefield in five minutes of rapid fire, so it was negligible - the French version. The casualties were more than 1,500 French troops and more than 1,200 student soldiers.
What about the Japanese army? In the end, only more than 400 people fled the battlefield, and 11 fighters and nearly 10 assault boats were lost.
The second wave of fighters released by the "Chongying" aircraft carrier joined the battlefield a little late, and because Mao Xiangnan's artillery regiment did not show up, in the end, the embarrassed and angry devil aviation dropped all the bombshells they carried into the city of Vung Tau and almost razed the small city of Vung Tau to the ground.
The second wave of fighters flew over their heads and flew towards the sea area where the "Rushing Eagle" aircraft carrier was anchored, and Yamada, whose face had already turned pale, said to Ono: "I really didn't expect this to be the end!" Then he silently drew his command knife.
Ono, who was also pale, turned his head to look at him, his mouth full of bitterness.
Now, they could finally conclude that there were no more defenders in the coastal positions, but embarrassingly, they had also lost the ability to launch another landing battle. The imperial army of 5,000 is now less than 500 people, which can be regarded as a complete defeat - Ono thought, feeling a moist feeling in the corner of his eyes, and quickly reached out to wipe it away.
Noticing Yamada's actions, the sourness in Xiao Ye's heart was too heavy, he gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out and grabbed the command knife in his hand, and then looked at him fixedly and said: "Yamada-kun, it is not easy to cooperate with the sea, land and air, please continue to work hard." After saying that, he held the blade of the knife with his left hand, and stabbed the tip of the knife into his abdomen with both hands.
Yamada was shocked and exclaimed, "Ono-kun! He took a step forward and hugged him.
Ono looked at him and said, "Please let me die the same way a samurai died!" ”
Ono is wise. This battle has been fought like this, and there has been a collective defection of the Yoshino Department, and the General Headquarters will definitely hold it accountable. Although it is Yamada's responsibility to study it carefully, it is all the people of his Ono Brigade who die, and he does not have a backstage like Koizumi, so he is determined to have this black cauldron.
Yamada was stunned and let go.
Ono sat down on the deck, the corners of his eyebrows twitching, beads of sweat curling on his face. He gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged towards the east, and suddenly roared: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Ono has been loyal to you for the last time!" "With both hands, I cut a cross in my abdomen." Yamada-kun, continued—" He said with difficulty, blood pouring from the corner of his mouth, and he stared at him and slowly fell to the deck.
Looking at his dead appearance, Yamada's hands and feet were cold, and he was suddenly stunned. And around him, a group of devils looked at Xiao Ye who was lying in a pool of blood, and their faces were pale and bloodless.
