Chapter 61: All the Jade Shattered
"Yaga! The despicable people of China actually ambushed so many cannons! "Yamane Goro Shaosa, seeing the heavy casualties of the Japanese army in the shelling, his face became hideous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although, as it was already known, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army obtained all their arms after taking Myitkyina. However, being violently shelled by the cannon that originally belonged to him, this feeling made Goro Yamane and others very aggrieved.
But now it is a matter of life and death for all of them, even if they brave the fierce artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they must charge!
"Attack! Rush me! As long as they break through the defense line of the China, their artillery will not work. A squadron leader of the Japanese army, waving a command knife in his hand, cheered up the charging soldiers.
"Boom!" A mortar shell fell on him. When the shell exploded, his whole body was torn to shreds.
Maybe it's because they've been cornered, these little devils, all with hideous faces, seem to have all the beastliness in their bones been stimulated.
"Heavy machine gun ready, fire!" Yu Chengyin watched the Japanese get closer and closer to their defensive line, and when the Japanese charged to only three hundred meters away from their defensive line, he gave the order to open fire.
2 heavy machine guns and 15 light machine guns of the 1st Battalion of the 41st Regiment opened fire. The dense firepower composed of these light and heavy machine guns suddenly formed an impermeable network of fire. The charging Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground, as if they had hit an invisible wall. All the Japanese soldiers who rushed forward were all hit on the head and bled and lost their lives.
Even so, the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun and Type 96 light machine gun were limited by the ammunition supply method, and the firepower could not be continuous. But with so many light and heavy machine guns, the firepower is still very powerful.
The troops led by Yamane Goro Shaoza were only more than 800 people. How long can it last under such a dense firefight?
"Amaterasu! Those damn Chinans, how many machine guns are they going to equip their troops! "Yamane Goro Shaozo doesn't know what to say anymore.
A small squad of the Japanese army only had two light machine guns, and a squadron only had six light machine guns, and even a brigade was only 24 light machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns. Compared with a battalion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it is undoubtedly much weaker.
Of course, the reason why the Japanese army is organized in this way is mainly due to the lack of resources in Japan, and automatic weapons will consume a lot of resources.
However, on the battlefield, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses because of the suppressed firepower.
On the Chinese battlefield, the firepower of the Japanese army is much stronger than that of the Chinese * army. However, in front of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they were completely suppressed.
From the time the Japanese army launched the attack to the defeat and retreat due to heavy losses, it took only ten minutes before and after. During this time, more than half of the more than 800 troops led by Goro Yamane had suffered casualties. What's worse is that they are still unable to break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This means that they are still under siege.
"Yaga! You cowards! Keep going on the offensive for me! If you do not break through the defense line of the Chinese, you are absolutely not allowed to retreat! Yamane Goro Shaozo shouted loudly. Now he is about to lose his mind.
Even if he knew that when the firepower could not suppress the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, continuing to launch such an offensive was just looking for death. But, beyond that, he had no other way.
There was no way, the Japanese soldiers who had just retreated from the front had to pick up their rifles again and attack until they were hit by bullets from the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and fell on the way to attack.
Now, the Japanese army's offensive is no longer a war, but to send them to death.
Yamane Goro Shaozo looked at this situation, and his heart felt as if he was dripping blood. However, he had no other way but to personally send those Japanese soldiers to be slaughtered by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
A group of ships docked, and from the boats, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, who were fully armed, jumped out. These were two companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Their addition made the defense line of the 2nd Regiment even stronger.
"Damn!" Seeing such a situation, Yamane Goro Shaozo knew that it was impossible to break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. So, he had to retreat with more than 300 defeated troops.
On the frontal battlefield, all the attacking Japanese troops retreated. It's just that when they attacked before, they sent nearly 2,000 people to participate in the attack. However, it suffered a heavy blow, and the losses were extremely heavy. Not even half of the retreating troops.
"Yaga!" Tochigi Gong Daisa, couldn't help but curse secretly. This situation undoubtedly means that their situation is very, very bad.
At this time, Yamane Goro Shaozo retreated back with hundreds of remnants.
Seeing such a situation, Tochigi Kodaisa's face couldn't help but darken a little more.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, is incompetent and has not been able to break through the defense line of the China. The firepower of the people of China was very strong, and the warriors of the imperial army, despite all their might, could not break through their defenses. Goro Yamane looked guilty.
Tochigi Kodaisa, as well as the other Japanese officers, couldn't help but have a trace of despair in their eyes.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there is a heavy army of the Shina people in front, and the back road has also been cut off. And to the east is the Irrawaddy River, so let's go west for an interview. If we manage to escape, we can retreat to the Hukang Valley. An officer suggested.
This time, Tochigi accepted the suggestion without any hesitation.
Now they have no time and can't afford to drag it out.
But then they learned that the west would not work either. The 4th and 5th regiments of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were stationed there.
Even so, the combat effectiveness of these two regiments is a little worse than that of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments. However, the two regiments of more than 9,000 people, and they were also equipped with powerful firepower, naturally it was not possible for the remaining 1,000-odd remnants of the Japanese army to break through.
After a burst of artillery fire, the Japanese lost several hundred men and had to retreat. If they withdraw a little later, they will pay a greater price.
"It's over, it's all over. To the south, to the west, and to the north, there were heavy armies of the Shina people. To the east is the Ayeyarwady River, and we are flying south! Yamane Goro Shaozo muttered.
"Yaga! You coward. Even if it's a dead end, so what? We are the warriors of the Daiichi Empire, and now is the time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Tochigi was furious and slapped Yamane Goro in the face.
"Warriors, now is the time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, even if it is all the jade pieces, it can't make the people of China feel better!" Tochigi Gong Daisa, his face was hideous, and the whole person seemed to be in hysteria.
