Chapter 129: The Japanese Army's Counterattack (Part II)
On the way back, An Ran kept looking at Tang Qianlin quietly, she was worried that Tang Qianlin would be unhappy, and she was also worried that her previous behavior was betrayal in Tang Qianlin's eyes.
However, Tang Qianlin seemed to be fine, as if he was waiting for something.
When they walked back to the pillars, they found several eight-eyed puppet spiders waiting there, as well as parasites armed with katanas and various cold weapons.
Everyone was stunned, but Tang Qianlin stood there without saying a word, as if he had known that this would happen.
Qian Sinian turned to look at Tang Qianlin: "Did you already know?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "That's right, this is the basic logic, since the female spider parasitic in Nissen's body knows that it is blocking us in front, it means that this thing is very familiar with the underground cave, how could the female spider with this kind of wisdom not guess that we are going back?" How could they not send pursuers to intercept us? ”
The spiders and parasites didn't seem to mean to attack, just watched them from afar.
Fadeev sighed and said in a complaining tone: "Then why didn't you say it before?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I said, you will also insist, otherwise how can there be a saying that if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears?" ”
Qian Sinian said: "Tang Qianlin, you ......"
Tang Qianlin raised his hand to stop him: "I know what you want to say, don't get me wrong, I'm not showing off my cleverness, I just want to use facts to explain why I made the decision to move on, now we are considered to be breaking through, but I can't do it alone, and I can't think so comprehensively in my mind alone, I still have to rely on everyone." ”
Tang Qianlin's approach and his statement made everyone realize that this is a person who takes the overall situation into account, and he also knows how to control the situation and how to persuade everyone with facts.
His approach made An Ran admire this man even more in her heart, and she felt Tang Qianlin's reliability.
Tang Qianlin did not use facts to suppress and ridicule others after proving himself, in order to establish some kind of prestige in the team, which is already a precious thing for a person.
Tang Qianlin took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "It's already morning, we are tired all night, we must rest, otherwise, once these things attack, we will be finished." ”
Ye Da looked at the spiders and parasites in the distance: "But, these things are right in front of you?" ”
Tang Qianlin also looked into the distance: "It's because they're here that I choose to rest here." You think that if they dare to go forward, they will stop us in the vicinity of the institution, but they don't, which means that they don't dare to go any further, so it's safe here. ”
Tang Qianlin's words calmed everyone's minds, and after the shift, everyone began to rest, leaving Tang Qianlin alone to sentry, he looked at the wriggling spiders in the darkness in the distance, and the parasites who had been standing, and raised his eyes to the top of the cave.
From the analysis of the weapons in the hands of these parasites, they must have attacked the Japanese camp last night, and also won a preliminary victory, regardless of whether Kyoji Miyake was killed in last night's attack, the Japanese army will launch a counterattack today, these things are never the opponent of the Japanese army with firearms, once the fight starts, after the top is tightened, the female spider has only two choices, either to send reinforcements to the spiders in the hole, or to withdraw the parasites and spiders on the ground to the cave.
In addition, Tang Qianlin also judged from the fact that Nissen appeared in front of them that there must be other secret passage entrances near the exit, because Nissen could not have entered directly from the entrance, the reason was very simple, if they could run out of the minefield outside Gongrong Village and the Japanese defense line, why should they stay?
It seems that the eight-eyed puppet spider is enslaved by that kind of blood bat, whether it is a human or any other animal, they will not be willing to be enslaved, but since they blocked themselves near the exit and did not evacuate, what is the reason?
After thinking about it, two words appeared in Tang Qianlin's mind - resistance!
These eight-eyed puppet spiders have to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel against the blood bats that have enslaved them for a long time.
Outside Gongei Village, the Japanese army has basically been assembled, and according to the requirements of Kyoji Miyake, the Mikawa team became the third echelon to enter Gongei Village, and the troops under Kenji Ishihara's Second Division took the lead.
Fortunately, although this unit is not effective in combat, it is still equipped with a small number of light tanks, but these light tanks are all French-made Noray FT-17 type, which are trophies captured from the Northeast Army when the Japanese army occupied the northeast that year, and there are a total of four in Ishihara Kenji's troops.
This light tank is a light tank developed by France in the late First World War, and it is also the world's first tank with a rotating turret structure, and this design concept directly influenced all tanks in later generations and became a milestone product in the history of tank development.
It is worth mentioning that the Noray FT-17 tank was also the first tank owned by China.
During the period of the Beiyang warlords, Zhang Zuolin's troops obtained a number of years from the French army who participated in the battle of Vladivostok, and Zhang Zuolin fought against the direct warlords, and through foreign companies in Tianjin and Harbin, the French trading company purchased a large number of military equipment, including aircraft and armored vehicles, from Britain and France.
At the same time, Zhang Zuolin also ordered 36 Renault FT-17 tanks in the name of "agricultural tractors", and formed the Fengjun Tank Brigade in 1926, creating a precedent for China's armored forces.
Unfortunately, after the September 18 Incident in 1931, because of the Northeast Army's non-resistance policy, a large number of weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Japanese army, including these Renault tanks, which led to the end of the history of China's first batch of armored troops.
In the eyes of the Japanese generals, these Renault tanks were completely inferior to the Type 89 light tanks and Type 97 tanks used by the Japanese army, the main reason for this is that the Noray FT-17 tank is divided into two models: machine gun and artillery.
The Renault machine gun type was equipped with a French-made "Harbice 1914" 7.92 mm heavy machine gun, while the artillery type was equipped with a 37 mm caliber SA18L21 gun, but the tanks of the Northeast Army at that time did not use the original goods, but used the Liao-made 14 type infantry gun, which is an imitation of the Japanese Taisho 11-year infantry gun.
Although this tank is not inconspicuous among the Japanese army, even Kyoji Miyake and Maeda Masaji feel that this thing cannot improve combat efficiency by dragging it out to fight, but there should be no problem in dealing with the eight-eyed puppet spider and parasite at the moment.
Kyoji Miyake walked up the hill with heavy steps, and Masaji Maeda and the officers immediately stood upright.
Kyoji Miyake asked, "How is the situation with the troops?" ”
Maeda Masaji said: "The assembly has been completed, and the reconnaissance team has returned safely, and the investigation has found that there are still an unknown number of parasites in the camp on the outskirts. ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Attack according to the original plan. ”
Maeda Masaji nodded, still cautiously handing over the battle plan.
Kyoji Miyake just glanced at it hastily and returned it to Masaji Maeda.
He didn't need to look at it, because the Japanese army's combat method was always like that, the infantry and artillery coordination that had not changed for thousands of years, and after the shelling, the infantry dispersed and concealed attacks under the cover of tanks to encircle the target area.
The camp outside was not the focus of his worries, the focus was on how to fight once he attacked Gongrong Village?
In ordinary street fighting, the Japanese army was very handy, and at this point, the Japanese army almost did not suffer much loss when fighting against the Chinese army, but this time they were not facing Chinese soldiers, but these monsters.
Kyoji Miyake regretted killing the Hannya II with some regrets, and he was even a little scared, because he knew that if these things could not be resolved within today, he would be the one who would be dealt with by the Kwantung Army Command.
Once he calmed down the affairs of Gongrong Village, and after he was the only one left in the know, some things would be relatively easier to handle.
Looking at the troops waiting below, Kyoji Miyake suddenly said to those junior officers, "You guys go down and prepare." ”
The junior officers saluted and left the hillside together.
Maeda Masaji knew that Kyoji Miyake had something to say to him privately, otherwise he wouldn't have separated the others when the war was approaching.
Kyoji Miyake looked at the army below and said, "This is the strength of a chariot squadron, right?" ”
Maeda Masaji said: "Yes, because it is a temporary deployment, there is no squadron headquarters command post, and the number of fighters is 162 people, including the tank driver and gunner, a total of 170 people." ”
Kyoji Miyake asked, "Maeda-kun, do you think we can solve this incident with just one tank squadron?" ”
If it were ordinary combat, Masaji Maeda would have been able to say the answer, but in the face of these monsters, although they didn't seem to know how to use firearms, their individual combat power was beyond their soldiers.
Maeda Masaji said truthfully: "According to the number of people in the remaining Gongei Village, as well as the estimated number of male spiders, the ratio of our army to them is about 1:1.5, and it is a bit difficult to defeat the other side in this number. ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Assemble another team of troops to standby." ”
Maeda Masaji said: "General, I think that to completely solve this incident, at least one squadron is needed. ”
Kyoji Miyake asked rhetorically: "Maeda-kun, have you ever thought that once this incident is resolved, the soldiers who participated in the battle of this incident will become witnesses?" ”
"Witnesses?" Masaji Maeda wondered, "What witness?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "The soldiers on the periphery don't know about the mutiny yet, but the soldiers who participated in this battle will wonder why the commander became you and me instead of Kenji Ishihara, and when they fight those monsters, the surviving soldiers will spread the matter here like a plague, and then the military department will see the two of us as the culprits." ”
Maeda Masaji immediately understood the meaning of Kyoji Miyake's words, and he also knew why he wanted to separate the other officers.
Kyoji Miyake didn't plan to let these soldiers who participated in the battle survive, he wanted to exterminate the mouth, just like the remaining villagers of Gongei Village who had planned to destroy them.
Kyoji Miyake saw Maeda's hesitation: "Maeda-kun, even if we don't do this, the headquarters and the military department will take the same measures, and there will be your and my names on the list of exterminated mouths at that time, even if my Pranya plan succeeds, it won't help, I don't want to do it......"
Maeda Masaji held back for a long time, and finally said: "General, I can't get other soldiers to aim their guns at their companions, I can't do it, and they can't do it." ”
Kyoji Miyake said, "I didn't say that it would be done this way. ”
