The first attack of the Japanese army on Mangang was defeated, but the Jing'an army, which was used as a meat shield by the Japanese army, could not advance or retreat. The Japanese machine guns that retreated to supervise the battle were held against their backs. If you take a step back, the only result is killing. And moving forward, looking at the mangang with tongues of fire everywhere, these people themselves softened first.

Just when these Jing'an officers and soldiers were in a dilemma, a burst of familiar business suddenly sounded on the post: "Brothers, I am Li Qing, the commander of the third battalion of the first regiment. The officers and men of our regiment have now defected to the anti-Japanese coalition forces anyway, and I hope that you will not continue to work for the devils, and continue to act as thugs for them to slaughter your own compatriots. ”

"You have also seen what the little devils did today, they not only forced you to give them mines, but also forced you to act as a meat shield for them to resist bullets. You work hard for the little devils, but they don't treat you as human beings at all. If you think about it, is it worth it for you to serve them with the scolding of a traitor behind your back? ”

"Come on, the chief here said to come and go freely. If you want to be welcomed by the Anti-Japanese Federation, if you don't want to do it, after the battle is over, as long as you promise not to participate in the puppet Manchu army and become enemies of the people, you will be given the passage money to go home. Come here, brothers, kill your Japanese commanders, and those hardcore traitors who are desperate to serve the devils, and come and throw yourself into the light. ”

Li Qing's eloquence is obviously good. Although his agitation did not have an immediate effect, it was obvious that the Jing'an army, which was pressed by the firepower, had already fluctuated. Although the Japanese commanders kicked and beat the officers and men at the grass-roots level, mainly Manchurians, to cover their ears and not allow them to listen, the effect was obviously very limited.

Sometimes it's a comedic thing. Originally, the soldiers of the Jing'an Army, who were suppressed under the mangang and could not advance or retreat, were only fluctuating in military morale and extremely low morale, but they did not have the idea of a battlefield uprising. After all, they still have a clear distinction between who is strong and who is weak.

If it really passed, once they failed, compared to those who were themselves anti-Japanese elements, the extremely narrow-minded Japanese would hate their past selves even more. I'm afraid this revenge will be even more vicious.

However, for the delay of the Jing'an Army, the captain of the Third Brigade of the 89th Wing and the third Shaozo of the Ben Shisan who supervised the battle in the rear did not do it. His own brigade suffered heavy losses in the mine array, but he was already very dissatisfied with being sent to take the lead. But knowing that the wing commander had been killed, and that he was directly under the command of the division commander, he did not dare to argue with the division commander's order, which seemed to him to be very inhumane.

Who made the 89th Wing a motherless child now? The third brigade of the 89th Wing, which suffered heavy casualties, is now the only remaining unit with combat effectiveness, and it is also the unit at the forefront of the entire 24th Division. Even if he was reluctant, when he thought of the wolf-like eyes of Lieutenant General Nemoto, he could only take on this difficult task head-on.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Nemoto had no intention of letting the 89th Wing really run out, because it would be difficult for him to explain to his superiors. Although no troops were sent to replace the Third Brigade, they were sent to replace the dead ghosts, that is, of the two infantry regiments of the First Division of the Jing'an Army, after the mysterious disappearance of the first regiment, only the second regiment remained.

Finally, there is a charge for the dead ghost to charge for himself, and Ben Shisan Shaozuo will allow them to crawl on the ground without moving? As for the dense firepower from Mangang, as long as it doesn't fall on the heads of him and Ben Shisan Shaozuo, it is nothing.

In his opinion, as long as he can break through the opponent's defense and complete the tasks assigned by the division commander, even if the infantry regiment of the Jing'an Army is exhausted, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it wasn't their own third brigade that died.

Extremely dissatisfied with the unfavorable attack of the Jing'an army, he waved his hand, and a squad of 38-type rifles with bayonets on his side rushed directly forward and directly punished the Jing'an army that was afraid of the war. More than a dozen Jing'an soldiers who fell behind were directly killed by the Japanese army with bayonets. to show a punishment that is not good for their operations.

Looking at the bright bayonets behind them and the dozen or so brothers who were killed by bayonets, the soldiers of the Jing'an Army could only step over the corpses of their brothers who had died in battle, and launched another half-dead attack.

The soldiers of the Jing'an Army, who wanted to grind foreign workers, did not expect that the Japanese army behind them would not tolerate their slow attacks. A platoon of machine-gun bullets came at them, and more than a dozen Jing'an officers and men who fell behind the attack formation because of their slow movement were beaten into honeycomb coal on the spot.

Looking at the brothers who were killed, a Manchurian company commander of the Jing'an Army, who could no longer bear it, turned the muzzle of the shell gun in his hand and shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, if we advance now, we will die, and if we retreat, we will die." The little devils use us as meat shields, and they don't give us a way to live at all. We can't fucking die for the little devils, the brothers killed the Japanese officers around us, and we're all done anyway. ”

After that, after raising the gun and knocking down a Japanese battalion commander next to him, he dropped the gun in his hand, raised his hands to signal his surrender, and pulled his legs as if running towards the mangang.

At the threshold of life and death, the leading role of role models is often endless. With the example of the first battlefield anti-water, there will be a second, a third, or even an infinite number.

Under the high pressure of Heben Shisan, the soldiers of the Jing'an Army, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, raised their weapons one after another to knock down the Japanese commander next to them, dropped the guns in their hands, and followed the company commander to run towards the opponent's position on the mangang.

The dramatic scene in front of him made Kazumoto Shizo, who was supervising the battle behind him, dumbfounded, and there was only one sentence in his mind: "Baga, these dogs in the empire's captivity actually dared to mutiny in front of him." ”

When he reacted, he immediately wanted to organize firepower to suppress these rebel bullets that dared to bite back against his master, but a burst of dense mortar shells from the mangang and the fierce counterattack troops that suddenly rushed out made him scrambled, and the position was almost not broken.

What made him feel fortunate was that the opponent obviously had no intention of pursuing to the end, but after receiving the Jing'an army that mutined in front of the battle, he withdrew to the starting position. After the beaten hands were in a hurry, and the position was almost crushed, and the Ben Shisan Shaozo finally stabilized the position, those renegade Manchukuo troops had disappeared without a trace.

The two regiments of the Jing'an Army, which had always been considered the elite of the Manchukuo Army by the Kwantung Army Command, defected one after another, and this scene not only stunned Ben Shisan. Even Lieutenant General Nemoto, commander of the 24th Division, who was watching the battle behind them, and Major General Shohei Migasaki, commander of the 1st Division of the Jing'an Army, were also at a loss.

Looking at the side because all his subordinates defected and almost became the commander of the light pole, at this time the face was blue and purple for a while, but Hiroshi was extremely self-contained, and there was no imaginary storm. just said coldly: "Misaki-kun, this is the elite of the so-called Manchukuo Army that you brought out?" It's not even as good as a pile of garbage. ”

In response to these insulting words of Hiroshi Nemoto, Misaki Zhanghei argued: "Your Excellency, the current Jing'an Army is no longer the same as the original Jing'an Army formed by the young people of the empire in Manchuria. It turned out that those soldiers of the Jing'an Army who had undergone rigorous training had already been supplemented by the Tokyo base camp into the newly formed army division. The current Jing'an army is all recruited Manchurians. Even the non-commissioned officers are mostly Koreans. ”

"I have long told Watian Dazuo that the Jing'an Army has just completed a major blood change, and the internal situation is not very stable. They can only be used for some reconnaissance and escort tasks, and they cannot be directly pulled into the battlefield in a hurry, let alone used as they are today, otherwise something will happen. I also said this to Admiral Umezu? But which of you listens? ”

"Before His Excellency Lieutenant General Sasaki was killed in battle, he said many times that the officers and men of the imperial army should at least give some respect to the Manchukuo army on the surface. Only in this way can we win over these Manchurians to serve the imperial army with all their hearts. But how did the 24th Division do it? I think Nemoto has seen it very clearly just now.

For Misaki Zhanghei's words, Hiroshi Nemoto did not refute it, but just smiled faintly. However, he had a smile on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth had nothing to do with the smile on his face, and it was cold and terrifying: "Misaki-kun doesn't have to care about these traitors. After these anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese forces are completely defeated, I will make these guys who dare to bite their masters pay the price for what they have done today. ”

After that, Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi gave an order to the staff officers around him: "Order Noji Kahei Daisa to command the front-line attack with full authority." Tell him that I will give him all the artillery and that he must break through the blockade on the mangang as quickly as possible. Send a report to Takuo Komatsuzaki and ask him where the main force of the 22nd Wing has arrived, why hasn't it gotten closer to the main force? ”

Lieutenant General Nemoto Hiroshi was extremely dissatisfied with the two infantry brigades with the main force of the 22nd Wing who crossed the river east of Jiamusi, but after crossing the river, there was no news of him. The main force of the division and regiment could only fight to the death on the front, and suffered heavy losses. The roundabout troops he had brought with him were never heard from. Without the cooperation of the flanks, how much price will the main force of the division have to pay to complete the task assigned by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief?

I don't know when Tatsuo Komatsuzaki, who ran there, will be able to get in touch, and Lieutenant General Hiroshi Nemoto doesn't know. But now he knows he has to do everything he can to break through his opponent's second line of defence. Otherwise, once the war drags on, I am afraid that there will be more variables when it gets dark.

Although the chief of staff of the division, Kikutaro Aotsu, felt that it was not appropriate to be in such a hurry. Judging from the firepower configuration of the watch, the opponent's forces are still abundant. For now, we should focus on steady and steady. But Lieutenant General Nemoto's exhortation to Qingjin Daisa was simply taken as the wind in his ears.

Under the strict orders of Lieutenant General Nemotohiro, who was anxious to achieve success, under the command of Noji Kahei Daisa, who was personally on the front line to supervise the battle, and under the cover of the artillery wing of the 24th Division, almost regardless of the loss of ammunition, even if he was reluctant, he could only launch a pig-sudden-like attack that was almost suicidal.

Just when the 42nd Wing of the Field Artillery under the 24th Division was desperately pouring shells on the mangang according to Genbo. In a hidden corner on Mangang, Wang Guangyu, who had been aiming at them for a long time, picked up the field phone and said to Yang Zidong, the commander of the first company of rocket artillery who had strengthened him on the other side of the phone: "Are you absolutely sure that you will give Lao Tzu's artillery to Lao Tzu now?" knocked out the little devil's front teeth that he relied on to bite people. ”

In response to Wang Guangyu's question, Yang Zidong said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Wang, there is no problem. I have now figured out a few of the devil's artillery positions. The little devil is no more than twenty-four field cannons. One of my rocket launchers is good enough to cover one of his artillery positions. ”

"We want to say that the shooting accuracy of our rocket artillery is not as good as that of the little devil's field artillery, but it is perfect for hitting this kind of target. When to fight, Brigade Commander Wang, you can give the order. I promise to give them a spoonful of stew in one go. Not even a piece of scum was left for that Nemo Bo. ”

Wang Guangyu was very satisfied with Yang Zidong's reply, and said directly: "Since the commander assigned you to me, then I have to use it enough." You can now give Lao Tzu a salvo according to the position of their artillery group. Then you don't have to be sure of the outcome of the battle, immediately retreat at full speed. Don't stop halfway, retreat directly into the mountains, and join up with the heavy artillery battalion that retreated one step ahead. ”

"That thing of yours is powerful, and the firepower is fierce enough. Although there was no movement when it was fired, the light of the fire was much larger than that of a normal cannon. The little devil's plane is not vegetarian, and if they are targeted, you can't get rid of it. ”

"In the military district, everyone knows that the commander has three treasures. The first is Director Zhang of the Health Department, the second is the reconnaissance battalion directly under him, and the third is your rocket artillery regiment. If you lose it, I really can't explain it to the commander. You are the eyes of the commander. ”

Yang Zidong didn't care about Wang Guangyu's ridicule, but promised: "Brigade Commander Wang, just take a look." I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. It's true that our rocket artillery is the commander's treasure, but we are not dry food. Lao Tzu's two salvos today can kill half of the strength of the 32nd Wing, and they can completely interrupt his artillery. ”

After that, Yang Zidong sent the phone in his hand, personally ran to the observation point, and after carefully measuring the shooting Zhu Yuan again, he gave the order to fire all the guns and fire a salvo.

Since the Japanese army forced the crossing, he beat up the 32nd Wing assembled in Jiangnan, and he has not shown up for half a day. This salvo of rocket artillery, which made the Japanese think that under the threat of their own aircraft, the opponent had withdrawn the artillery, almost did not have a single shell.

Seventy-two rockets fired in a very short period of time covered the four artillery positions of the Japanese army solidly and thoroughly. Together with the Japanese artillery shells that were detonated, these 72 rockets blew up the four artillery positions of the Japanese troops who crossed the river.

After the violent explosion, the neatly arranged field guns on the Japanese artillery positions were disintegrated into piles of parts. Even the artillery carriage of an artillery piece was violently exploded and directly swept into the Songhua River, more than 100 meters away. The Japanese positions were littered with artillery stumps and broken arms that had been reduced to parts along with the artillery.

The violent explosions on the four artillery positions that were attacked at almost the same time, as well as the thick smoke that rose, stunned both the officers and men of the 3rd Brigade of the 89th Wing, who were attacking in front, and the personnel of the 24th Division, who were commanding the operation in the rear.

Although they had not yet had time to ascertain the losses, the smoke from the artillery positions told them only one fact, that the 48th Artillery Wing was finished.
