Section 256 Tentative Attack by the Japanese Army

Haraguchikawa was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Aizu-kun, you shouldn't be tired these days!" How can you have such bizarre ideas? How strong can the Chinese army be? If they really have to be so strong, where will they lose even half of the country? In front of our imperial army, can the people of China also be called an army? The joke is nothing more than a bunch of peasants with weapons. ”

Aizu Kawada couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said: "Haraguchikawa, you have been in China for a relatively short time, and you don't have many opportunities to fight with the Chinese army, and your understanding of the Chinese army is still relatively limited. There is a very great disparity in strength between the various units of the Chinese army, and the 'Tiger Force' I just mentioned is the strongest fighting force in the Chinese army, and we must not be careless when we encounter such an enemy, otherwise, once we suffer heavy losses, it will be too late. Okay, I'm going to go to the wing headquarters to report the situation here, Haraguchi-kun, take care of yourself. ”

Haraguchigawa replied with a smile: "Aizu-kun, you have worked hard for you, you can rest assured, when you come back, we have successfully captured Cili." ”

Aizu Kawada sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, and he was very worried about the situation of this squadron, but he had already said enough just now, but he was just a small ensign, and he couldn't manage so many things at all. So, he could only say in his mouth: "Haraguchi-kun, then I wish you to break the formation and kill the enemy, and then make war achievements." ”

After saying that, Aizu Kawada no longer hesitated, and galloped away.

Haraguchigawa looked at the back of him leaving, and couldn't help but sneer: "Your Excellency the Wing Captain is right, the more veteran you are, the less indomitable you are. The reason why our imperial army was able to sweep through Huaguo and capture the capital of Huaguo and occupy a large area of land in a few months is because the soldiers at that time had the courage to move forward and the determination and perseverance to expand the territory for the empire. Inspired by this high fighting spirit, the army was invincible. But now, as more and more land is occupied, these people are becoming more and more cowardly and unenterprising, and if this continues, sooner or later we will be defeated by a more powerful people, just like the Chinese people. ”

The executive officer on the side couldn't help but say: "Haraguchi-kun, with us, the empire will not fall, just like the battle in front of us, we use practical actions to give a resounding slap in the face to those who are full of pessimism, I hope that this big victory can help them regain the courage and fighting spirit that have long been lost, as long as we continue to fight like this, the people of China will not last long." ”

Hearing this, Haraguchigawa couldn't help but nod seriously, and then he shouted at a second lieutenant officer on the side: "Nohara-kun, your first squad takes the lead, and I personally command the other troops as follow-up troops. We will not only let the defeated people of China, but also make them feel afraid, and when they see our battle banner in the future, they will not dare to have any power to resist! ”

"Hey" Captain Nohara couldn't help but respond loudly when he heard this, and then he yelled at his subordinates who had just stopped in the distance.

Under his encouragement, the soldiers, who were already exhausted, couldn't help but cheer up again. Then one by one, they dispersed according to the sequence of attacks, and opened a long line of skirmishers towards the positions of the three companies in front. Their speed is not fast, the team is also very scattered, this kind of attack is not only a tentative attack, but also extremely lethal, with the idea of the captain of the Nohara squad and the experience of fighting along the way, he is very confident in his subordinates, even if such an attack can not take the enemy's position, it can definitely cause great trouble to the enemy, so that as long as you see the flaws of the enemy, you will definitely be able to make the main force fight.

Just when the devil's infantry slowly advanced towards the position of the third company without any artillery suppression, Tian Dazhuang and the others also became angry, for no other reason, because of them, who were bent on seeking death and wanted to die devils, at this moment, they couldn't even satisfy this last little wish, but were surrounded by a group of people.

The person in the leader looks vulgar, his appearance is not good, look at his stupid and wooden appearance, where does he look like a national army officer, saying that he is a farmer, I am afraid it is more like some, his appearance and the feeling he gives people, actually with the commander of this group of people at the moment Tian Dazhuang is very imaginative, I have to say, this is really a very coincidental thing.

After staring at them for a long time, Wang Lao Liu seemed to have finally lost interest in them, and couldn't help but turn to a squad leader and said, "Greet these brothers, don't let them move around before the devil retreats." When the battle in front of you is over, quickly ask the madman or Cheng Lao Er to invite these uncles away, what are you going to do with me? ”

The squad leader also said: "I think so too, when the hell is it, you still have to worry about these shitty things, really." ”

Looking at their impatient expressions and listening to the words in their mouths, finally a few brothers who had withdrawn from the 5th Division couldn't help it, and they couldn't help but open their mouths and scold: "What are you doing here? Isn't it just borrowing a little weapon from you to fight devils? If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, why don't you let us go now? ”

Wang Lao Liu didn't look at this person, but said to Tian Dazhuang: "This brother, I have to wronged you for the time being." ”

Tian Dazhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw these people treating them as if they were facing a great enemy, and then looked at the soldiers around him, although there were not many people around them, but they were giving them endless pressure. At this time, where can he not know what these people think, but is it useful to plead at this time? I'm afraid that the lieutenant company commander in front of me can't be the master! It's all in vain. This made him scold the officers here in his heart, what the hell is this commanding the troops, and he actually came up with such a mess in his head?

However, thinking that he and the brothers beside him just wanted to kill the devil, but the time was delayed a little, but there was nothing else, he couldn't help but gradually calm down and said: "This place is garrisoned by your department, naturally everything is up to you, so let's see how your department kills thieves and exterminates the thieves here!" ”

When Wang Lao Liu heard him say this, he didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the trench.

Cheng Zhong naturally didn't know about these things on the first company's position, and after sending those people to a company, he left this matter behind him and put all his thoughts on the devil in front of him. At this time, the Japanese attacking troops had slowly touched the front of the position about a hundred paces or so. Seeing that the devil was in such a position, the soldiers of the third company couldn't help but show a sneering look on their faces, and they knew exactly what the devil was thinking. The tentative attack was carried out without first covering it with firepower, and the devil in front of him was inevitably too big, right?

The position was quiet, there was no sound, there was no need for Cheng Chong to give an order, the veterans of the third company had accumulated enough experience and confidence in the same battles for I don't know how many times.

Eighty paces, the devil's infantry is getting closer and closer, their bodies are getting lower and lower, and the pace of advance is getting slower and slower. The enemy troops in front of them must not have been here for a long time, and they can only use the field fortifications they have dug to stop the enemy, and you can imagine how difficult their situation is at the moment. And at a glance, the perimeter of the dirt fortifications was not blocked by stones, and the firmness of such a position is really not worth mentioning.

It's just that what surprised them was that the enemy army in front of them could be so calm? Already within a radius of more than 100 paces, they can already shoot accurately with rifles, why haven't they attacked yet?

The Japanese soldiers couldn't help muttering in their hearts, the things in front of them were too abnormal, and the abnormality made them feel uncomfortable, just like they knew that there was a fire pit in front of them, but they had to jump into it step by step, this feeling made them almost breathless.

"Keep going!" Not far away, the shouting of the leader of the Nohara squad was heard, and the Japanese soldiers turned their heads to look, and they could faintly see the squad leader wielding a saber at the forefront of the line. This made most of the doubts in their hearts disappear, and at the same time, they felt more and more ashamed in their hearts, the officers were so brave, but they ordinary soldiers behaved like this, which really shouldn't be.

While thinking about this, the Japanese army slowly advanced, and soon advanced to a distance of fifty paces in front of the position of the third company. However, there was still no movement in front, and at this time, the leader of the Nohara squad had even vaguely seen that there seemed to be a heavy machine gun on the enemy position in front of him, but because it was a little far away, he was not sure, and what made him even more suspicious was what these Chinese troops were doing? Without shooting at such a close distance, what are they waiting for?

For a while, Captain Nohara had an urge to strike first!

However, after thinking about it, he gave up this somewhat reckless move, at this time shooting, they don't have any offensive target, they can't kill any enemy, not to say, but it will expose their thoughts, that kind of worry and fear will undoubtedly be known by the enemy, which will be very unfavorable for the next battle, and it is not easy to explain to the Haraguchi squadron leader behind him, after all, their task is to find out the enemy's firepower and position layout, if the enemy does not attack, where can they reconnoitre? In this way, it is undoubtedly necessary to move on, but at this moment, it is already such a close distance, and if it is further advanced, I am afraid that it will be extremely dangerous.

For a moment, Captain Nohara was in a dilemma.
