I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 694: The leader of the Wild Road Brigade also transferred in

Nodoshiro said: "For example, the National Army has a 75mm caliber howitzer.

There were also 105mm large-caliber howitzers that appeared on the battlefield of Xiangbei.

The commander of the 6th Division, Inaya, was stranded on the other side of the river by these two types of heavy artillery and could not return.

Now we can only ask the commander to send bombers to bomb the national army’s artillery.

Otherwise, the imperial warriors of our 11th Army will suffer endless troubles."

Anan replied to the telegrams quickly, giving them one good news and two bad news.

"Brigade Commander Nodoshiro, I have approved the request of the 9th Independent Brigade to abandon the mission of rescuing the 6th Division and you can withdraw at any time.

Secondly, the Imperial Air Force, upon learning of the Sixth Division's transfer, had already set out this morning.

But they were all intercepted by the air force of the temporary capital, and now no plane can fly over.

Third, according to reports from the intercepted air force, four armies of Kuomintang troops have now surrounded you.

If we don't leave now, I'm afraid the 9th Independent Brigade will follow in the footsteps of the 6th Division.

Brigade Commander Wang Yedao carefully considered and led the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade out of danger as soon as possible.

Commander of the 11th Army, Ananweiji!"

The commander has said this, and now the head of the Wild Road Brigade has understood that if they stay here any longer they will die.

It would be better to break out of the encirclement now while the Kuomintang troops have not yet surrounded us. There is still a possibility of breaking out.

The commander of the Wild Road Brigade had no choice but to order: "The communications officer, have someone send a flag signal to the rice fields on the other side.

They said that we had been dispatched by the commander and now had to move back to Hankou urgently.

Please wish the rice division commander...

Well, I still wish Ye Daojun long-lasting martial arts luck!

If we are destined to meet again at the Yasukuni Shrine…

Order the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to turn to Hankou immediately."

"Hi!"

Dongfang Shang saw through the telescope in his hand that the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade had already started packing up.

"Haha, you little devils, the battle isn't even over yet, and you're thinking of running away? You must be dreaming!

Immediately order the artillery to raise the muzzle and adjust the range to give the 9th Independent Brigade's little devils a break."

The 9th Independent Mixed Brigade that invaded Xiangbei had a total strength of only more than 12,000 troops.

Just now, in order to rescue the rice, the Sixth Brigade, which had two battalions totaling more than 2,000 people, was forced to stay on the other side of the Liuyang River and could not return.

Previously, their artillery positions on this side of the river were destroyed by the heavy artillery units of the militia division, and more than a thousand people were killed.

They were then chased and attacked by the heavy artillery of the militia division, and lost nearly two thousand people.

As a result of this coming and going, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade lost almost half of its personnel.

Their army of less than 7,000 people finally managed to escape from the range of the heavy artillery.

Only then did they flee in panic towards Hankou.

I just hope that I won’t be surrounded by the Kuomintang troops in the land of northern Hunan.

The 9th Independent Mixed Brigade ran away, and the Japanese troops on the other side of the river had no time to complain.

Countless artillery shells fired by the Chinese army kept falling on their heads.

As the mortars advanced, the militia division's artillery shells became more and more accurate.

At this time, all the troops of the Fourth Guerrilla Division had already pressed forward.

When the militia division's infantry approached within 7 meters of the Japanese trench, the RPG- rocket launcher began to show its power.

All the remaining fortifications with sandbags were overturned one by one by the artillery fire.

The trench that the Japanese had just dug was originally a temporary one and could not hide many people.

Many Japanese soldiers could only lie down on the spot and allow the militia division's large-caliber artillery shells to explode around them.

The Japanese kept showing everyone how to transform from a flying man into a broken corpse and minced meat.

Under the command of Division Commander Dongfang Shang, they performed extremely skillfully in the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination.

When the vanguard troops of the 4th Militia Division were only forty meters away from the Japanese front line.

The artillery units of the militia divisions then stopped their mortar bombardment.

When the soldiers arrived here, they stopped for a moment.

They took out the grenades from their waists and threw them over in rows.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Japanese thought the shelling was over and were about to get up from the ground, but unexpectedly the militia division's grenades arrived again.

The Japanese had no choice. Even though they knew the National Army’s artillery bombardment had stopped, their soldiers were still rushing forward.

But the militia division's grenades were so powerful that the Japanese soldiers were blown to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.

So when the muzzle of the guerrilla division soldier's gun hit the back of the Japanese soldier's head, the Japanese soldier was still lying down.

"Bang bang bang..."

The soldiers had already rushed to the Japanese positions, and no matter whether they were dead or alive, they would all be shot in the head first.

Now the soldiers of the Fourth Militia Division are equipped with brand new Type 41 semi-automatic and fully automatic assault rifles.

The soldiers fired bullets rapidly, and they suddenly rushed into the Japanese positions.

This made many Japanese soldiers who were still lying down appear very passive in their actions.

Dongfang Shang shouted loudly: "Don't leave any alive, kill them with bullets and three-edged bayonets."

It turned out that there were more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers on the Liuyang River beach.

But now there are less than three thousand people left.

This also includes those who are missing limbs and are barely breathing.

There were less than a thousand people who could actually stand up and fight.

One reason was that the militia division’s artillery fired too hard, bombarding the area for nearly an hour.

The Japanese couldn't withstand their destructive tactics of firing more artillery shells than bullets.

Another thing is that their trenches were not enough and could only provide shelter for two thousand Japanese soldiers.

Most of the Japanese soldiers were hiding on the exposed riverbank and had long been blown to pieces.

Commander Inaya is lucky for the time being because his position is too high.

Only then were they able to enter the trench that had been dug earlier by the 9th Independent Brigade.

When the militia division's artillery shells came over, he was pinned down by his own staff and guards.

Although Daogu temporarily saved his life, his staff and guards were all killed by artillery shells.

The commander of the Rice Division was not in much better condition. He vomited blood and then fainted.

He was not killed by the large-caliber artillery shells, but was simply crushed unconscious by his own guards.

The situation on the battlefield by the river has now become one-sided.

There were loud gunshots and flying bullets on the battlefield, but it was always the Japanese who fell.

There is also the shiny triangular bayonet on the Type 41 semi-automatic rifle.

With the "puff puff" sound of the stabbing, the power of the triangular bayonet was fully demonstrated, making the soldiers like it more and more.

The surviving Japanese soldiers finally woke up at this time.

They all got up from the ground and picked up the Type 38 rifles in their hands.

But just as they fired a bullet, they were knocked to the ground by the militia soldiers who swarmed over them.

The Japanese soldier was so desperate. He clearly saw that the bullet he fired hit a Nationalist soldier.

But the national soldier just staggered back.

Then the man picked up his rifle again and continued to charge forward as if nothing had happened.

However, he himself was riddled with bullet holes from the Kuomintang soldiers, and he died with his eyes open.
