Chapter 95: The Bloody Battle in the City (2)

The old cannon rushed over in time with a machine gun, and wiped out all the remaining Japanese soldiers with a shuttle of fire. The old cannon twisted his face, and asked Lu Yuan, "Sir, let's change the trick, it's too boring to fight like this, I haven't enjoyed it yet, this is gone, it's too much." Sun Zhi thought to himself, what kind of people are these, he killed a Japanese squadron of 180 people, and he only injured a few people, so it's not fun to fight.

Lu Yuan ignored the old cannon with his teeth gritted, and when he changed the magazine, he instructed the others, "Tell the brothers to mend the Japanese corpses first, and then clean up the battlefield, as long as food, grenades, bullets, shells, grenadiers, and first-aid kits." The devil officer's binoculars and watch were taken away, and the rest was burned, so hurry up. Five minutes later, the former battlefield was cleaned up, and only some baggage and some scattered clothes and suitcases were left on the ground, and the whole scene was a place of escape.

The traces of the battle were carefully covered, and even some brothers picked up a few pairs of high-heeled shoes and threw them there, and the mines converted from mortar shells were still buried in the rubble. Sun Zhi lay behind a broken wall and asked the old cannon carefully, "What are you doing here?" Aren't we going to retreat? ”

"Retreat? Grandma, we're going to have another ambush here, and you'll see in a moment. The old cannon smiled mysteriously at Sun Zhi.

", the little devil is your son, if you let him be fooled, he will come." Regarding Lao Pao's answer, Sun Zhi said unconvinced.

"Don't speak," Lu Yuan's stern voice came. It's coming, it's coming. More than 100 Japanese soldiers came, and the battle went as smoothly as expected. The difference is that this wave of devils was attacked when they were looting things on the ground, looking at the bags and suitcases that were blown up by the grenades, and the soldiers who were in charge of arranging the scene angrily scolded the guy who threw the grenades. These bags and suitcases were painstakingly found, and I just used them once.

The next battle opened Sun Zhi's eyes, Lu Yuan used the lanes in Nanjing City to ambush several waves of Japanese troops one after another, and his own casualties were negligible. He even ordered a few soldiers to disguise themselves as women, luring the devils of the first brigade into several small units, and then using superior firepower to eliminate them one by one.

Lu Yuan's tactics made Sun Zhi very fascinated, and even regarded Lu Yuan as a teacher, always asking questions. Lu Yuan also kept gathering the stragglers scattered in the city between the battles, and when the number reached more than 3,000 people, he called Sun Zhi to his side. "Second Lieutenant Sun, you have also learned my fighting style. I will give you 2,500 men now, and you can take them along the Zhongshan Road to Rujiangmen, destroy small groups of Japanese troops along the way, and gather our troops and civilians. Remember that Rujiangmen is the retreat of all these national troops in the city, and there can be no mistakes. You have absolute control over these people, and if you encounter disobedient people, kill them. Do you remember? ”

"Sir, don't worry." Sun Zhi gave a military salute to the landing.

At noon on the 13th, the 16th Division ordered the 33rd Wing and the 38th Wing, with the cooperation of light armored vehicles, to rush from outside the Taiping Gate along Xuanwu Lake to the Xiaguan River north of Nanjing, so as to cut off the retreat of the Chinese army. After receiving the forward mission, Haneda Shaoza of the 33rd Wing immediately assigned combat missions to the three squadrons subordinate to his brigade. For this mission, Haneda is full of confidence. After capturing Zhongshan Gate, the Chinese army in Nanjing gave him the impression that it was vulnerable.

Haneda's brigade was attacked sporadically by the defenders before it could get close to the Taiping Gate, which made him think that the Chinese soldiers had broken up and that they were only resisting the stragglers. The "Scatter to give" vanguard squad rushed towards the unresponsive position of the defenders, and after a few seconds, the three fires located on both flanks of the position began to spray tongues of fire, and for a moment the gunfire rang out like bursting beans.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, the Japanese soldiers in the impact were as if they had hit the iron plate, in the dense rain of bullets, more than 20 Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were shot one after another, and under the huge impact of the bullets, the Japanese soldiers who were shot rolled down to the ground one after another.

The Japanese troops who were suppressed by fire did not fall into panic, and the follow-up Japanese troops immediately fell to the ground, trying to take advantage of the terrain to resist stubbornly. But when the Japanese soldiers lay down, they were surprised to find that even if they were lying down, they could not effectively dodge the bullets that fell down from the commanding heights in front, and the rows of bullets fired from the rows of bullets hit the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground, and many Japanese soldiers were directly hit in the back and killed before they had time to react.

When the rest of the Japanese army tried to find a favorable terrain to rely on, they found that the terrain around them seemed to have been organized, and there was nothing to cover here. After dozens of casualties, the few remaining Japanese troops retreated. As if experiencing a nightmare, Kobayashi Ichiro fled back to the starting position in a panic with his head in his hands, and then was dragged by Haneda by the collar and slapped more than a dozen times.

After counting the casualties, Haneda's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground with a tree trunk next to him, and in just five minutes from the time he launched the attack to the time he was defeated and retreated, at least dozens of Japanese soldiers were lying on the hillside, and Haneda's brigade had successfully reduced almost a small team. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" After a bombardment, the opposite position finally quieted down, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers trembled and touched the already empty position. Haneda finally breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next left Haneda unforgettable for the rest of his life.

When the Japanese troops began to move from the side of Taipingmen to the Xuanwu Lake exercise site, they began to have frequent minestrikes. It had not gone far before the ground advance squadron of the Haneda Brigade lost more than thirty soldiers. Haneda's face turned pale as he looked at the wounded soldier who was wailing with a broken leg, he knew that his troops had strayed into the minefield set up by the other side, and in the absence of sappers, Haneda could only let his soldiers widen the distance between them.

The Japanese soldiers were carefully detecting mines with their bayonets, and the Japanese soldiers who followed were lying not far away in panic, and Haneda's brigade was moving as fast as a turtle. But even so, the Japanese soldiers who lacked professional demining knowledge still touched the mines one after another, and the replacement could barely hold the bayonet in his hand when he looked at the bloody body of his companion.

Wing Commander Kengo Noda Osa, who was waiting on the rear chariot, noticed through the telescope that Haneda's brigade was making slow progress and suffered heavy casualties, so he sent a staff officer to reprimand him, and in the face of the wing commander's reprimand, Haneda had to explain to Kengo Noda aggrievedly over the radio. "The Chinese army is very cunning, their mine-laying methods and areas are not at all regular, and almost all mines are accompanied by detergent devices, which is unusually difficult and dangerous to eliminate."

Kengo Noda picked up the telescope after listening to Haneda's explanation, and at this moment there was a muffled sound in front of him, and a pillar of smoke rose more than ten meters high, Kengo Noda thoughtfully put down the binoculars, hesitated for a moment and gave the order to stop advancing. The huge power and effect of the mines made of grenades and artillery shells completely exceeded the expectations of the old artillery ground, and when I inquired, I learned that the original method of laying mines was taught by Lu Yuan himself. The sappers have mastered the most classic, most effective, simple, and fast way to arrange the mines, and you must know that Lu Yuan was taught by military instructors in the 21st century.

The most unacceptable thing for Haneda is that he paid such a sacrifice, and he didn't even see his opponent, which is simply a great shame for the Haneda team. Despite the obstruction of his subordinates, Haneda insisted on using mortars and grenadiers to clear the mines, but despite this, the Japanese left dozens of corpses in the minefield. The casualties of soldiers and the loss of technical equipment are just a report in a numbers game for decision-makers, and for Haneda, who is at the forefront, it is a small or large number of replacement and replenishment of subordinates, but now his own brigade has lost a squadron before it has really exchanged fire with the opponent, and Haneda, who is pale, seems to be about to suffocate.

Looking at the empty eyes of his soldiers, Haneda clearly knew that his soldiers could no longer fight, but the Chinese were still able to fight, what did these Chinese soldiers do? Are they all iron men? Looking at the mines converted from grenades and shells in front of him, Haneda, who was puzzled, finally got a good news, that is, the Chinese are running out of ammunition!

"Hand-to-hand combat is the strength of the Imperial Army!" A smile finally appeared on Haneda's lips. After paying a large number of casualties, Haneda's brigade finally waded through the minefield, the defensive positions of the Chinese had been found in front, and a new round of attacks was finally launched, with one brigade each from the 33rd Wing and the 38th Wing attacking. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns with sufficient ammunition hidden on the two wings sprayed the flames of revenge to their heart's content, and Lu Yuan's order to them was to wait until they saw the Japanese army charging in front of the defensive position before they could open fire.

The ferocious Japanese soldiers, who were like wild beasts, were blinded by the sudden blow, and they dodged the flying bullets in all directions, and the whole offensive situation suddenly fell into chaos, and the follow-up support troops were also blocked and mixed together. The dense barrage of the Chinese defenders tore the Japanese soldiers to the ground in the confusion one by one, like a harvester harvesting rice.

The angry shouts of the officers came from the Japanese position, driving the soldiers to continue the charge, and the opposing defensive position finally fell silent again after a shelling. As a result, the Japanese soldiers found that there was no one on the position again, and they withdrew cleanly, leaving only the bullet casings of the Japanese army.
