I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 692 North American Best News Photo Gold Award

Commander Qian did not understand what the photos that Major Liang had just taken meant to him.

Two months later, this set of photos traveled across the ocean and was delivered to Congressman Williams in New York.

Two days later, an article written by Mr. Williams came out of nowhere.

The title of this article is: "In the War Age, America is No Longer Alone"!

News came that the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians far away in the East were fighting bravely against the Japanese army.

With the publication of this shocking article, it once again became popular across North America.

In particular, the photo of Major Liang won the "North American Best News Photo Gold Award" that year.

The photo shows a mysterious Chinese military officer. Although it is a side profile photo, one can still see the determination in his eyes.

There were three corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground, with hideous wounds and a sharp ordnance shovel.

And the blood all over his face and body represents his strength.

The lit cigarette in his left hand perfectly highlights Major Liang's elegance.

This is a set of photos full of contradictions, which give people a lot of imagination between the light and dark shadows of the trees.

With the shining bayonets of the soldiers in the distance and the corpses of the devils all over the ground.

Let’s look at the man in this photo, which is surrounded by smoke.

He instantly became a mysterious figure from the East that was sought after by journalists all over the United States.

She has also become an idol in the hearts of American men and the object in the hearts of American women.

From then on, Major Liang and the 73rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army instantly became the most recognized Chinese soldiers and Chinese army in the United States.

Later, because there was no number for the 73rd Army in the first batch of Chinese Expeditionary Force, a protest was lodged with the Military Affairs Office.

They believed that the temporary capital government did not send the best troops to the Southeast Asian battlefield.

In order to deal with the Americans' curiosity, the capital also found Major Liang.

He was transferred from the militia division to the 73rd Army and promoted to the major general chief of staff of the 73rd Army.

At this time, there was already heavy gunfire outside Linxiang Mountain, and Brigade Commander Lu and his men ran even faster.

Because they knew that this was the main force of their militia division, which blocked the Sixth Division.

Brigade Commander Lu only guessed half right. Dongfang Shang led two brigades of troops and went around the mountain.

From the very beginning, they were moving forward on par with Inaya's Sixth Division.

They rushed to the exit of Linxiang Mountain, which is the direction of Liuyang River.

As a result, Dao Gu had just reorganized the soldiers and was preparing to rush to cross the Liuyang River.

At this time, Dongfang Shang's main force also caught up, and this time, the Sixth Division suffered a great loss again.

Because there were at most five bullets in the Japanese's gun chamber.

Among them, there were more than a thousand Japanese devils, and they didn't even have a Nambu Type 14 pistol.

Now the troubled Inaya Division Commander has only two options.

There was only one way, which was to run without caring about anything, all heading towards the Liuyang River.

It’s better to run as far as you can than to be wiped out by others.

The disadvantage of this is that if they are chased by the Nationalist Army with sufficient ammunition, few of them will be able to escape and will be shot one by one.

Another way is to defend on the spot and wait for the 9th Independent Brigade on the other side of the river to come and help them cross the river.

He also saw through the telescope that the Sixth Division was crossing the river to support them.

The 9th Independent Brigade had already sent two battalions of soldiers, who ran over the pontoon bridge to support them.

Inaya was overjoyed and felt that the 9th Independent Brigade was much more generous than Mishima's 3rd Division.

Division Commander Inaya immediately gave an order for everyone to defend their positions and wait for the arrival of the 9th Independent Brigade.

The 9th Independent Brigade was quite brave. Not only did they send people to support us, their artillery battalion also began to show its power.

The shells from ten Type 41 mountain cannons fired towards the 4th Division.

It’s just a pity that the range of their mountain artillery is too short, only 6,300 meters.

Although it could not cause any substantial damage to the Fourth Militia Division.

However, with the shells exploding among them, the soldiers of the 4th Militia Division were unable to launch an effective attack on the 6th Division.

When Division Commander Dao Gu saw that his opportunity had come, he immediately ordered his soldiers to run to the river.

Prepare to quickly meet up with the reinforcements from the 9th Independent Brigade and escape together.

Dongfang Shang became anxious when he saw the Japanese soldiers start to run away again.

We finally caught up with the Sixth Division, how could we let him escape?

Dongfang Shang immediately gave a loud order: "Where are our artillerymen? Have them pull up the guns for me."

All of their division's original Japanese artillery were given to the National Army troops in the Ninth War Zone.

Their militia division is now using the 1mm M1A howitzer.

The maximum range of this type of howitzer can reach 8,800 meters, which is just enough to cover the Japanese artillery positions.

In addition, it could be disassembled and transported by mules and horses. In just a short while, their artillery unit had pulled the cannon over.

The artillery units immediately began to build artillery positions, and twenty minutes later, the artillery regiment of the 4th Militia Division was ready.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who had gathered together, the commander of the artillery regiment said, "Commander, the artillery is ready.

Are we going to attack the Japs' infantry or their artillery?"

Looking at the Japanese soldiers gathered together, the artillery commander felt itchy in his heart.

It’s better to attack the infantry. With this large-caliber artillery shell, half of the Japanese squad was wiped out.

Dongfang Shang: "Are you stupid? First blow up the enemy's artillery unit, and then blow up the enemy's floating bridge on the Liuyang River.

The Japanese Sixth Division had no way to retreat and no fire support.

As for the little devils on this side of the river, we can kill them whenever we want."

The commander of the artillery regiment slapped his forehead and said "I understand, I understand" repeatedly, and immediately ordered the artillery regiment to bombard.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the whistling sound of artillery shells cut through the sky, flying over the heads of the Sixth Division.

Dao Gu and his soldiers' faces turned pale instantly.

They didn't expect that the Kuomintang army that caught up with them also had heavy artillery.

You have to know that the heavy artillery of the National Army is a treasure. It has always been hidden in the rear, and they are reluctant to take it out for use.

A major battle like the Battle of Changsha had been fought for ten days.

The Ninth War Zone of the National Army never deployed even one heavy artillery piece.

(In the Battle of Yougang River, the Nationalist Army bombarded the 40th Division with heavy artillery.

Since all the Japanese soldiers present at the time were dead, the scene was also bombed by the devil's own artillery shells, leaving traces.

So the Japanese studied it for a long time but found nothing unusual about the bomb crater.

These are all craters caused by the Imperial Type 75 shells. Who can tell who fired these shells?)

Now their hearts were filled with fear as they watched large-caliber howitzer shells explode on the other side of the Liuyang River.

There is the position of the artillery battalion of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

As the shells exploded, all of their Type 41 mountain cannons were blown into the sky.

The artillery of the militia division fired one row, two rows... five rows of artillery shells one after another.

Not only did it blow up the Japanese Type 41 artillery.

Even the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun position was blown to ashes.

Daogu immediately knelt down on the ground. It seemed that this Kuomintang army really wanted to annihilate his Sixth Division.
