Chapter 203: Let's just say they mutinied

"Willing to follow the anti-Japanese raise their hands, unwilling to ......"

After the soldiers who were willing to resist the Japanese were rearmed, those who were unwilling to resist the Japanese and wanted to go home became coolies.

Although he was not satisfied with the artillery, he was still satisfied with the baggage of the Japanese artillery unit.

Especially the shells of the 105-mm heavy guns that were loaded under the car and did not have time to unload the truck, a lot of explosives can be dismantled when they are taken back, and I believe that Li Youtian, the old cigarette bag, will be satisfied with this.

On the contrary, the number of soldiers of the Yasukuni Army who were willing to join the anti-Japanese battlefield reached 1,000.

As for the so-called people who are willing to "go home", Zhang Sixing is also ready to judge their thoughts. Maybe they really just wanted to go home, but more likely to return to the Japanese troops.

Because this place is now surrounded by Japanese troops, how can it be possible to return to his home safely.

Therefore, Zhang Sixing gave an order to the battalion commander Xue in Shaanxi,

"People who want to go home are shot in the foot, and even if such an injury is healed, they basically can't become soldiers, which is a good reason to go home. Otherwise, if you are caught by the devil, you will either be shot as a deserter or re-enlisted. If you don't have a door to go home, you go and help them, and all the captured Japanese will be executed on the spot. ”

It was only then that the soldiers who re-mounted their guns and joined Zhang Sixing's team knew how correct their choice was.

In the sound of gunfire behind him, Zhang Sixing and his men began to retreat.

It would be a hassle to go back, after all, they had the Japanese 101st Division in front of them.

And now, what kind of troops are on the other side of the pontoon position, the Japanese no longer have doubts about this.

"Major General, we encountered the enemy troops who withdrew from the Sixing warehouse, and they also attacked the Wanguo Merchant Group in the concession, and they robbed the Wanguo Merchant Group's warehouse, so they obtained a large number of ammunition, oil, and military ration supplies......"

When he first broke out of the concession, Zhang Sixing did get a lot of things. Otherwise, where did the meat buns eaten by the soldiers on the front come from, but unfortunately there are more than 3,000 people in his hands now, and if it is not for the dead horses, that little food is really not enough to make.

"Those people in the Four Lines Warehouse ......"

At this moment, the people who were fighting with Zhang Sixing's subordinates on the river bank were Major General Sato Shozaburo from the 101st Division, and a part of the 101st Wing of the Field Artillery to which the 101st Division belonged.

At the mention of those people in the Sixing Warehouse, Masashiro Sato's face showed a solemn look.

The battle of the Sixing Warehouse, which was originally the Marines, became a joke in the Army.

As many as more than 10,000 people, armed with heavy artillery and tanks, they were bleeding from the heads of the 4,000 warehouses. It was at that time that the "cripple maker" mines became famous in the Japanese army.

Of course, according to the standard of the Japanese Army's pettiness, artillery over 75 mm is called "heavy artillery." The standard prevailing in the world of World War II is more than 100 mm, and only those that use split shells are called heavy artillery.

Even in Maozi, who likes to play with cannons, "heavy artillery" is talking about things like "Father's Hammer".

Then there was the Shigeto Brigade, although it was a Taiwanese garrison, but no one expected that it would be beaten so badly by the gang at the Sixing Warehouse.

Rumor has it that both the Marines and the Shigedo Brigade suffered heavy casualties, and that more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers had their limbs amputated due to sepsis. At present, they can only stay in the occupied Shanghai market and wait for replenishment before they can act effectively.

So now, what should I do if I meet those guys from the Four Lines Warehouse.

I went up to fight them, and I just fought two rounds, and the casualties of my own men exceeded 1,000, so I will continue to fight......

At this moment, another person who reported ran to his field headquarters,

"Major General, we have just received a report from the brigade guard brigade that our heavy artillery ...... The heavy artillery brigade supporting us was completely lost by the Chinese army's sneak attack. Only a few hundred Jing'an soldiers were left on the battlefield, all of whom were wounded in the foot. Moreover, all the Japanese officers and soldiers in the Jing'an Army, except for those who were killed in battle, were executed. ”

Hearing such a report from his subordinates, Major General Shozaburo Sato, who was out of anger, reprimanded loudly,

"Idiot, it's all foot injuries, how can it be all foot injuries. Hmph, it must have been self-harm...... No, isn't it ......?"

He thought of a possibility, but that might make him angrier.

Those who were in the Jing'an Army tarnished the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army, and they betrayed their commanders and surrendered to the Chinese army. And they don't want to defend their own country, they just want to flee the battlefield.

As for why the enemy wounded their feet, there were two reasons: first, to let them return home wounded, and secondly, to ensure that these people would never go to war again.

Thinking about this joint, the anger in Sato Shozaburo's heart, especially the anger that was deflated in the pontoon position, was all transferred to those Jing'an troops, and he let out a terrified roar that made all his subordinates panic,

"These cowardly bastards, they don't deserve to be called soldiers, especially when they betray the Japanese officers. As for the others, they were probably killed in the resistance to the Chinese army, but they should be well cared for. Shoot all the Jing'an soldiers who were wounded in the foot, and report to the military headquarters that they mutinied. ”

After giving this order, Shigezaburo Sato looked at the battle map in front of him.

Without the support of heavy artillery, he was worried that with the ability of one of his brigades, he would not be able to defeat those who retreated from the Sixing warehouse.

According to the press, that force was about a thousand people, including tanks, armored vehicles. And that was intelligence a few days ago, with his knowledge of the Chinese army, such a strong combat force must be replenished as soon as possible.

So how many soldiers are there on the pontoon bridge who are good at fighting like a four-row warehouse, three thousand, five thousand...... Every time he thought about a number, he felt a little frightened.

No matter what was said on the news, no matter what the rumors said, he didn't believe that the defenders in the Four Elements warehouse were a rabble.

Even at this moment, I remembered that Xie Jinyuan led the soldiers of the 87th Division to retreat, it was a clear and suspicious plan. Send away the useless soldiers, leaving behind the true elite.

Otherwise, how could the Shigedo Brigade suffer such a big loss, and let people wipe out almost all of their entire brigade.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the enemy on the pontoon position in front of him was not easy to deal with, and the only doubt was that the Chinese army was willing to use such elite troops to block the attack in order to protect the retreat of other troops.

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of the gist, but this didn't prevent him from asking his commander for help.

"Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, saying that we are being blocked by enemy forces. It was found that the enemy was an elite unit that had withdrawn from the Sixing warehouse, and judging by its firepower, it should have received reinforcements. Most of the cavalry brigade of our troops is shattered, and I now beg Your Excellency the lieutenant general to send reinforcements with the main force, and send troops to outflank the enemy behind enemy lines, so as to completely annihilate ......"
