I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 656: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (29) Ji Gu’s Suffering

The depressed Yoshitani was still depressed. The division he had strengthened with great difficulty was now in ruins.

The day before, two attacks were launched against the replenishment brigade.

As a result, his two infantry regiments lost their lives inexplicably.

Okay, I admit that I can't beat you, and I admit that I was heartbroken by your beating.

If I can't beat you, can't I hide from you? I will retreat at night.

If the nature of the National Army in the Temporary Capital is followed, they would be celebrating now, as they can finally escape.

But who could have known that the Nationalist army not only did not hold their positions, but instead sneaked out of their positions in the dark and tried to attack me from behind.

When Yoshitani saw the farewell message from Captain Daisuke, he knew that his third regiment was also doomed.

He didn't expect that he had lost three regiments before retreating to Heifengkou.

How would he explain this if he met General Hayata Chiken?

Fortunately, he ordered the heavy artillery regiment to retreat first.

You have to know that this heavy artillery regiment of their division is the strongest trump card among the four divisions in Zhongtiao Mountain.

They were the only artillery regiment capable of possessing twelve 105mm howitzers, and could not afford to lose any of them.

However, what Ji Gu didn't know was that this heavy artillery regiment had fallen into the hands of the brigade commander who was aware of the supplementary brigade.

By this calculation, the Yoshitani Division, which originally had more than 33,000 troops, has lost 14,000 people.

The current Yoshitani Division has transformed from a Type A division into a Type B division with only 19,000 people.

Captain Daijie Lian did not expect that his troops would be so vulnerable.

At the beginning, they did not notice the pursuers behind them.

The light and dark sentries and patrols that were left behind were all killed silently by the special forces of the Marine Brigade without them noticing.

The sentry behind didn't come back, which made Daisuke feel something was wrong.

But it was too late to discover it now. The National Army troops, which had been far behind from the beginning, had already opened their huge mouths and were ready to close the net.

Daisuke listened to the sound coming from behind and his nerves finally broke down.

He no longer cared about the order from Division Commander Yoshitani and could not expose the target.

He immediately fired three flares in a fan shape behind his own team.

This really scared him, because not only behind them, but also on their sides were there Kuomintang troops.

As soon as the flares were raised, the Kuomintang troops following behind them began to take action.

Everywhere you look, you can see heavy machine guns mounted on wheelbarrows.

The moment the flares rose, the National Army immediately fired heavy machine gun bullets at the soldiers of the Daisuke League.

These were soldiers from the Daisuke League. In the first minute of the firefight, they were hit by fire from three sides, killing half of the battalion, nearly 500 people.

Captain Daijie Lian made a wrong judgment at the very beginning.

He arranged his three infantry battalions into three defensive formations, and wanted to cross-cover each other to retreat.

I didn't expect the offensive from the National Army to be so fierce. This was a field attack, not a defensive battle which the National Army was good at.

So before they could start cross-covering, the First Battalion had been wiped out by the Chinese army.

It is wishful thinking to dig a trench on the same spot now.

That's why Captain Daisuke sent that farewell message to Division Commander Yoshitani at the third line of defense.

Daisuke is not a stupid man, otherwise Yoshitani would not have given the task of covering the rear to their regiment.

His third brigade is also filled with some desperate and ruthless characters.

Now they started digging trenches without any regard for the consequences.

If there is no time to dig trenches, just dig single-person shelters and wait for the Second Infantry Battalion to be destroyed by the Marine Brigade.

The Japanese from the third battalion have already taken refuge in their hiding place.

They just pop their heads out from time to time to fire a shot, and if you fire back, they'll just cower in the water.

If you dare to ignore the consequences and go around them, the Japanese will take grenades and die together with the national army.

The heavy weapons of this Japanese battalion had been destroyed by snipers from the Marine Brigade.

Captain Daijie Lian only knew that there were snipers among the opposing national army, and that they were snipers who were good at night combat.

As for why the Kuomintang snipers can shoot so accurately at night.

Song Wenwan would never tell the old Japanese soldier Dajie that his sniper observer used night vision goggles to help the sniper determine the target.

All the Japanese light and heavy machine gunners, as well as mortar operators and grenade launchers were eliminated at the first opportunity.

When the Marine Brigade saw that the road ahead was blocked, they immediately used mortars and grenade launchers.

The commando team sent by the Marine Brigade did not stop until they reached 50 meters away from the Japanese position.

The bulletproof steel plate with a handle was inserted forward, and light and heavy machine guns swept around.

Then they started throwing grenades at each other. The commandos all had considerable arm strength.

They threw the grenade with all their strength, and it seemed like it had a scope, and was thrown over the Japanese position.

The commandos had already calculated the time for the grenade to explode.

Airblast, all airblast effects.

Every grenade exploded above the Japanese's heads, leaving the Japanese hiding in the trenches with nowhere to escape or avoid.

The Japs also tried to fight back by throwing grenades, but unfortunately they had just spent ten minutes digging trenches and bunkers.

Both arms have not recovered yet and are now shaking violently.

Throw a grenade? Sure, there are still some at a distance of 20 meters.

After they threw the grenade once, seeing that it was within the range of their bodies, they still held their heads and acted like turtles.

After throwing all ten grenades, the grenadier grabbed the bulletproof steel plate with handles and began to charge forward.

Behind them followed the riflemen of the Marine Brigade, and under their cover, they quickly approached the Japanese's simple trenches.

A distance of fifty meters can be reached in just a few seconds.

Those Japanese soldiers who were still able to resist were killed instantly by snipers as soon as they showed their heads.

Or they might try their best to fire a shot, but the bullet would be bounced off the bulletproof steel plate.

Some were lucky enough to hit the soldiers of the Marine Brigade.

It just let the bullets get stuck in the soldier's bulletproof vest and couldn't go any further.

Things were easy after that. The Japanese had no time to pull the bolt and load the bullet.

The Japanese could only watch helplessly as the soldiers of the Marine Brigade pointed their semi-automatic rifles at their heads.

"Bang bang bang..."

With bursts of gunfire, all members of the Daisuke League were killed. The entire battle took no more than forty minutes.

Captain Daijie Lian was a ruthless man, he had already killed himself in advance.

He knew that after the main force of the division left, his infantry regiment would definitely not be able to hold out for more than an hour.

They will be completely annihilated by tens of thousands of Chinese troops.

After their third line of defense was dug, Captain Daijie Lian found a depression.

He spread a piece of white cloth and knelt there, committed suicide by seppuku, and returned to Japan to find their emperor.

There was no need for large-scale cleanup of the battlefield here, as only one battalion of Sichuan troops was left.

They were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the remaining guns and ammunition of the Japanese devils.

The spoils of war this time were quite a lot, after all, they were the weapons and equipment of an entire regiment of Japanese invaders.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed by the soldiers of the Marine Brigade before they could even fire a few bullets.

Before leaving, Song Wenwan specifically said that we have plenty of bullets, and we must shoot the Japanese first before cleaning up the battlefield.
