Chapter 759: The Japanese Recruits Who Lost Their Courage
Now even Sakai is wondering what this Division Commander Nishimura means?
Did he hold the good fortune of the two divisions in his own hands?
Why could he still sleep soundly when he and his men were in such a miserable state? He called an officer from his division headquarters and whispered to him.
"Have the losses of our two divisions been heavy? How many combatants are left?"
"Reporting to the General, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only... less than two regiments left who can still fight."
Sakai sighed. He also knew that there was no cover on the bare plain.
His troops were attacked from both sides, and only seven or eight thousand men were left. This was already a good result.
Sakai: “The Empire should not have captured generals, that would be a disgrace to the entire Empire.
If it becomes absolutely necessary, you must execute me.
Let me, after my death, be able to return to my hometown with peace of mind, to the divine restroom..."
Sakai's strong Hokkaido accent affected his pronunciation.
The officer listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what Sakai meant, whether it was about the soul returning to the shrine or something else.
Oh, never mind. It doesn’t matter whether it is a shrine or a sanctuary.
The young officer was thinking about the little things that Division Commander Sakai had done in Northeast China.
His soul is unlikely to return to the Japanese island. Even the King of Hell in China can't stand it anymore.
The officer looked back at Nishimura who was still unconscious, and then at Sakai.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking Sakai what to do with Division Commander Nishimura?
Sakai, "You load my pistol, and let Nishimura-kun go with me."
The young officer nodded solemnly and helped Sakai load his pistol.
But where they couldn't see, Nishimura's eyes opened slightly.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then Nishimura closed his eyes again.
Watching the Japanese bombers fly away, Qin Haichuan received the report from Wei County.
The Japanese air force really had no intention of turning back, so he looked at Zejiu again.
Communications Staff: "Commander Qin, Chief of Staff Zhang, can we put out the fire now?"
Thief Nine: "Brother, you can stop the shelling now. By the way, did you bring chili powder?
If you have chili peppers, you can add some to the fire now, remember to add it in the upwind direction. "
Qin Haichuan: "You want to smoke the Japanese with chili peppers, but the terrain here is wide and it is not suitable for smoking."
Thief Nine: "The reason we put chili powder in the wet firewood is not to attack the enemy, but to see if there are any Japanese soldiers still alive."
Qin Haichuan thought to himself, "Oh my god, he is indeed the old villain that Commander Song mentioned.
This guy is so mean! But I like him."
Yun Guichuan thought to himself: "Wow, this is a big deal. He is worthy of being the chief of staff given to me by Changshengtian. He is really a good tactician."
Li Si was proud in her heart: "This smart man is my husband.
Hey, this bad guy is also my husband!"
Soon, it drifted towards the direction of the Japanese position accompanied by thick smoke of chili powder.
After a while, the originally quiet battlefield was filled with the sound of coughing.
Yun Guichuan: “After bombings all over the place, I didn’t expect there were still living devils.
Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, since your defense area is upwind, you will be the one to take the lead this time.
Notify Huo Jiaqiang's First Cavalry Army at the lower end of the gorge and have them suppress the Japanese in the basin with firepower on the opposite high ground."
Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have sent out soldiers from two infantry regiments to attack (bully) the Japanese soldiers lying there.
A hundred or so sharpshooters from the First Cavalry Army, holding 98K rifles with scopes.
Once we saw any Japanese soldiers still able to move, we would shoot them dead with one shot.
If the distance is too long to reach the Japanese, report the coordinates and then ask the mortar operators nearby to call out their names one by one.
The Japanese officer who had just spoken to Sakai said at the beginning that he still had two regiments of soldiers left.
But in fact, he was still exaggerating. His main purpose was to comfort their division commander Sakai.
These seven or eight thousand surviving Japanese soldiers have merely not yet died.
A small number of them were wounded, and many soldiers had been driven insane by their own people.
The most crucial thing is that heavy weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and mortars have basically become unmanufactured parts.
All they had available were more than 2,000 Type 38 rifles and the hand grenades they carried with them.
With these weapons, it would be difficult to withstand a single attack from the Chinese army.
After the sharpshooter of the First Cavalry Army called the roll, no soldier dared to show his head on the Japanese position.
Some of the Japanese recruits had become cowardly and had lost the courage to fight.
Some Japanese soldiers even threw their Type 38 rifles far away.
When you lie prone on the ground, you should also open your hands and place them on the ground.
They said that they were not a threat at all and begged the Chinese soldiers who were charging over to spare their lives.
With the order from the leaders of each unit, the charge with Gannan characteristics began.
The riot shields were in front, followed by the elite riflemen.
Each of their classes is a small formation, and now they behave like rich people.
Each squad also carried an RGP-7 rocket launcher and four special rockets.
For a moment, the sound of bullets whizzing out was accompanied by the sporadic "bang bang" sound of the Japanese rifles.
The proud little Japanese finally discovered the gap at this time.
Often, just after they fired a shot, they might be hit back with dozens of bullets.
In just two hours, the two infantry regiments of the First Column had completed the final encirclement of the Japanese army.
The Japanese here resisted more fiercely, and the guerrilla division's soldiers gradually suffered casualties.
Many Japanese recruits became impulsive under the instigation of veterans and officers.
They kept detonating grenades and explosive packs, trying to die together with the guerrilla division's fighters.
There is no way around it. There will always be casualties in war. This is the cruelty of war.
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers could not bear the pressure. They got up from the ground and turned over to pounce on the cavalry behind them.
To them, those Chinese soldiers riding on horseback were more like living people with flesh and blood.
But now they dare not face the silent guerrilla fighters.
Because they are more like a group of devils who only know how to reap lives.
They were like a group of soul-seeking devils from the Ten Courts of Hell in China, specifically targeting the Japanese devils.
After constant brainwashing propaganda from the Japanese press, the Japanese recruits are very confident.
Deep down in the hearts of those recruits, they believed that once they saw the Imperial Army, all the Chinese soldiers would become lambs to be slaughtered.
But when they arrived in North China, they realized that they were the pigs and dogs being slaughtered.
Seeing the collapse of the Japanese army, they began to charge at the cavalry on the high ground in a disorganized manner.
This time, Huo Jiaqiang’s cavalry didn’t even need to take action in the counterattack.
The retainers of the Mongolian princes who led the troops directly rushed down with their own cavalry.
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers are really too few.
The Mongolian cavalry rushing over had only one feeling: they were not enough, absolutely not enough.
They just charged and passed the Japanese troops.
Although Mongolian horses are not tall, the Japanese are short.
The right saber for the right height, these Mongolian cavalrymen know a secret.
