Chapter 404: Running away again
The fierce sound of gunfire and grenade explosions, mixed with the roar of incomprehensible Japanese and the terrible howl of a dying wolf, became the main theme in the canyon, and everyone above was terrified.
It took a whole hour for this human-wolf battle to come to an end.
The violently shaking bushes seemed to have eased from the high # tide, and everything slowly calmed down.
I don't know if the Japanese had the last laugh, or if the vicious wolves ate the hard-won meat.
If you want to hunt down the Japanese army, which is fully armed with more than 400 men, the wolf pack will definitely pay a huge price. On the other hand, if you want to escape from the mouths of thousands of crazy giant wolves, hundreds of Japanese soldiers will also be broken.
Now the independent regiment has struck.
Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomei, who estimated that the Japanese army would win the final victory, had already changed their equipment, and quietly went down to the bottom of the valley with an infantry platoon that also took off their Japanese military uniforms and put on camouflage uniforms, and under the leadership of several bandits who were familiar with the terrain of Wild Wolf Valley.
I thought that I would have to go through a fierce battle, but it wasn't until he came to the front that Chen Yunfa knew that he really underestimated the power of the wolves in Wild Wolf Valley.
In the valley of the wolves, the bushes and woods everywhere made the Japanese guns lose their original power, and perhaps only the bayonet could be trusted.
In the bushes at the bottom of the valley, there are dead Japanese soldiers and wolf corpses everywhere, those who were killed by guns, and the gray wolves who were poked to death by bayonets abound, but the neck was bitten out of a big hole, the stomach was bitten out of the big hole, and the internal organs were dragged out alive and dragged for several meters There are not a few, and there are more Japanese soldiers who are holding the huge gray wolf and dying together, and the Japanese soldiers whose necks are bitten off are tied to the neck of the gray wolf, and then stabbed down by their companions, even the wolf and the people, all penetrated.
The Japanese invaders used the fighting instinct of beasts to fight the kings of this valley, and if they lost, it could be said that they won.
Chen Yunfa didn't see any Japanese soldiers alive, and almost all the Japanese soldiers who could still breathe were bitten off their tracheas by wolves that were still alive. However, the few remaining gray wolves, who howled for a long time and grieved at the disappearance of the huge race, did not live long, and the gray wolves, who hated all human beings, were mercilessly shot dozens of meters away the moment they pounced on dozens of soldiers of the fully armed Independent Regiment.
The Japanese are over, and the wolves are over.
The gray wolves of the northern land of China defended their territory with their lives, and the Japanese soldiers, who liked to be bandits, became sacrifices in the mouths of the Chinese wolves.
The Battle of Wild Wolf Valley can be regarded as a miracle in the history of warfare in the thirties of the twentieth century, when 1,000 gray wolves bit alive 431 officers and soldiers of the fully armed 16th Brigade, including their supreme commander Tanaka Kiyokawa Shosa.
The result was that more than 900 gray wolves in northern China, including the wolf king, were killed, and there were definitely no more than ten adult gray wolves that could escape back to their dens.
When Chen Yunfa found Tanaka Qinghe wearing a military uniform, the poor senior staff officer of the 16th Brigade and the last infantry brigade captain of the 16th Brigade who graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University was lying under a tree, and his neck was still bitten by a giant wolf, even though his command knife had passed through the giant wolf's body.
That was the wolf king of the Wild Wolf Valley, and Tanaka Shaosa finally did not tarnish his identity as a noble clan in Kyoto, and fought with the biggest leader of the wolf pack to the end.
Shao Zuo's already gray eyes looked up at the sky covered by leaves, as if telling his last desire before he died, look at the sky, is that because the sky can bring him to miss his family? Who knows! Maybe it was the wolf king's sharp teeth that pierced his weak neck, and the white of his eyes that turned up because he didn't breathe?
Chen Yunfa didn't have time to pursue these details, and his attention was all attracted by the field radio station next to Tanaka Shaozo, which was still making a dripping sound.
Unexpectedly, in the Wild Wolf Valley, there was still a signal on the field radio, looking at the field radio station that was constantly being called with a flashing red light, Chen Yunfa was very sorry, and the headquarters of the Eighth Division must have known the battle situation here.
Yes, Tanibe Terumi had received a farewell message from Tanaka Kiyokawa half an hour earlier, saying that the baggage brigade had been ambushed by an enemy independent regiment disguised as bandits, and that Tanaka's brigade had unfortunately encountered wolves while evading the attack of the enemy army disguised as a baggage brigade ambushing them, and although not all of them were martyred, they were also in danger.
The half-hour-long call did not receive any response, and Tanibe Terubei knew that the 16th Brigade was finished.
Under his command, all the soldiers of the 16th Brigade who went on a tour but traveled to hell were finished.
The two main brigades of the Eighth Division, with only more than 2,000 wounded soldiers left, can basically announce the abolition of the organization.
However, at this time, Tanibe Terube did not have time to mourn for the division and himself, the legendary imperial eagle could not take off due to weather conditions, and the telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters was to resist the attack of the Chinese with all their strength on the spot, and their ammunition reserves should definitely be the end of the crossbow, and the Imperial Japanese Army that dared to sacrifice itself for His Majesty the Emperor would definitely win the final victory.
But after paying huge losses and resisting for two hours, Tanibe Terube had to sadly find that the fools in the Kwantung Army Headquarters were too taken for granted, and the crazy army that dared to pursue him with 2,000 people was not the squadron they once knew, and their shells seemed to be endless, like their boundless courage that people could not fathom.
It is not so much the Chinese shells that make Tanibe Teru sad, but the courage of the Chinese that makes Tanibe Teru feel terrified.
Any army that dares to attack more than 10,000 enemies with a force of 2,000 men, from commanders to soldiers, requires courage that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, even if they have an endless number of shells.
For two hours, their mountain artillery did not stop shelling at all, and even when he pushed out two intact infantry guns in an attempt to destroy their six movable fortresses in a last-ditch fight, before he could fire three guns, the two infantry guns were overwhelmed by the overwhelming artillery fire, and the damned enemy even had artillery, hiding in the distance to ambush the last heavy weapons of the division.
His plan to kill the enemy's infantry in large numbers to make the enemy retreat also failed, and the enemy commander did not launch an infantry charge at all, but hid 300 meters away and sent grenades into the trenches with mortars and Japanese grenadiers that they had stolen.
How many projectiles per minute can a dozen mortars and almost forty grenadiers shoot into the trenches? Tanibe didn't dare to calculate, he was afraid that the result of the calculation would make him have a heart attack. But the steady stream of wounded soldiers brought down from the front line has overcrowded the field hospitals, not to mention the beds, and even the seriously wounded with broken arms and legs can only lie on the ground and wail.
The previous thousands of wounded soldiers had become the largest unit in the Eighth Division, and now, Tanibe Terube had to sadly believe that the number of people commanded by the director of the field hospital at the middle rank must be greater than that of him, the supreme commander of the Eighth Division, both now and in the future.
In fact, Liu Lang had already let the mortars and mountain artillery stop shelling after attacking for more than an hour, and the fat son of the landlord's family began to feel sorry for the various shells that were not in stock at this time.
However, there were still a lot of grenades, and the 40 grenadiers captured from the Japanese army never stopped fighting, and they mechanically filled the grenades into the barrel mouth and then fired them.
Every minute, they fired more than 200 grenades into the opposite trenches.
After receiving the news of the annihilation of the baggage brigade and Tanaka's brigade, Tanibe Teru was in despair.
Quietly leaving two infantry squadrons to block the enemy, most of the 8th Division began to retreat in the direction of Chengde.
The Eighth Division, again humiliated and organized, ran away.
