"Old Feng, I didn't expect that your cannon was so accurate!”
When Gu Heizi saw the Japanese running into Liujiaxing Town, he was so happy that he slapped Feng Jinsong's shoulder. The big palm almost pressed Feng Jinsong to the ground.
Wan Pingfei walked over excitedly and laughed,""Old Feng, you played beautifully!"
Feng Jinsong's face turned red, and he actually revealed a child-like shy smile. Ever since he had joined the battle, this battle had been the most satisfying and satisfying.
Lin Feng raised his binoculars and saw the remnants of the Japanese soldiers. They abandoned a large number of burnt vehicles and wounded soldiers and began to retreat into Liujiaxing Town.
"The Japanese are not stupid. They know that the bridge has been blown up and they can't attack with the cannons. If they stay, they will only become live targets.”
Lin Feng pursed his lips and felt a little regretful.
At this moment, Wan Pingfei walked to Lin Feng's side and said,""Brother Lin, the Japanese have retreated. Shouldn't we move before dawn?”
Lin Feng looked at the white sky and said indifferently,"There's no hurry. There's still some time before dawn.”
After saying that, he turned to Feng Jinsong and shouted," Old Feng, raise the angle and continue to shoot. We've suffered enough from the Japanese artillery in the past few days. It's time to let them have a taste of being chased and blown up. We can't let them retreat so easily!”
"Officer Lin, just wait and see!"
Because of the previous bombardment, Feng Jinsong was now confident. He gave a thumbs up again and calculated the direction the Japanese were escaping in. He began to increase the firing angle of the artillery.
Soldiers became more and more skilled the more they trained, and the more they fought, the more they understood. The soldiers beside them had only fired a dozen rounds, but they were already so skilled. This was much faster than learning artillery theory in class for a few months.
While the remnants of the 140th Brigade were having a good time, the Japanese were in a terrible state.
12 75mm Howitzers, 4 70mm Type 92 Infantry Cannons, and 2 150mm Heavy Artillery Cannons. A total of 18 cannons fired at the same time.
The cannonballs seemed to have eyes as they chased after the fleeing Japanese soldiers. From time to time, some of the cannonballs landed on the Japanese soldiers 'heads and blew them up into the air.
Screams and wails spread out for miles. How could the word miserable describe it?
The soldiers of the 140th Brigade were not professional artillery, so their firing speed was not fast.
Otherwise, the Japanese's tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed would all die here!
However, even if they couldn't wipe out all of them, they still dealt heavy damage to the three infantry squadrons.
There were more than a dozen tanks or tanks in the Japanese's tank squadron. The terrible roads severely limited their speed. In addition, the chaos caused by the bombardment, as well as the smoke, dust, and strong light from the explosion affected the vision of the vehicle drivers.
This made it difficult for the ten tanks and chariots of the Battle Tank Squadron to move forward.
Shozo Suzuki watched as the tanks and chariots were blasted into a pile of scrap metal by the artillery shells that fell from the sky. His face was contorted with anger.
……
About half an hour later, Jintu Inoue woke up.
After listening to Suzuki, who said that more than a dozen tanks had been blown up, Kindo Inoue's face twitched. He turned to Suzuki and asked,""Suzuki-kun, how are the casualties?”
Suzuki paused for a moment, sighed, and said in pain,"" Three infantry squadrons, thirty-two dead, seventy-one seriously injured. Many of the soldiers had their hands and feet blown off and needed amputation…"
"Eight grid tooth path!"
Inoue Kanto was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were as red as blood.
Suzuki pondered for a moment and asked,""Captain, should we send a message to the exploration team's headquarters and request the 3rd Brigade, who is stationed at the northwest defense line, to assist us in taking back the headquarters?”
"Forget it, there's no need."
Jintu Inoue waved his hand. Although he was already burning with anger, he did not lose his mind.
If he asked for help from the exploration team headquarters, it would prove that he had misled. Even if he wiped out the remnants of the 140th Brigade, his military career would be over. He might be transferred to the Shanghai Dispatching Army Headquarters and take up an idle position.
Therefore, until he was at the end of his rope, Jintu Inoue would never ask for help from the exploration team headquarters.
Moreover, he had not reached the point where he had no way out.
Although they had suffered heavy losses in this battle, he had also discovered an important situation. There were not many people in this Celestial army.
Otherwise, under the bombardment of heavy artillery, his formation would be completely disrupted, and the enemy would let them retreat without sending out any troops to pursue them. They would have missed an opportunity to expand their victory.
It was not that the scheming commander of the Chinese Empire did not see this opportunity, but that his troops were very limited and he did not dare to take the initiative to attack!
"When the sun rises, send a telegram to the aviation command. Tell them that there are still remnants of the 140th Brigade in Liu Jiaxing Town and ask them to send planes to bomb them!”
Inoue Kanto's eyes were cold. His mission was to clean up the remnants of the 140th Brigade in Liujiaxing Town, so it was not out of the question to mobilize planes to scout and bomb.
"Ha Yi."
Suzuki Shaosa stood at attention and kowtowed." Inoue-kun, how should we report to the commander of the southern faction, General Shouichi Terauchi?"”
Inoue Kanto was most worried about General Juichi Terauchi. His goal this time was the Changzhou front line, and he wanted to visit the imperial soldiers along the way.
After learning that there were remnants of the Celestial army in Liujiaxing Town, General Shouyi had even assigned the chariot squadron responsible for protecting him to Inoue Kanto. Now, they had all been wiped out!
"Don't tell His Excellency the General yet. After we annihilate this Chinese army, I will personally apologize to His Excellency the Commander! "Now, let the general rest at the Nanxiang train station for a while. After dawn, I will personally lead the team and kill all of this Celestial army!”
Kindo Inoue looked at Suzuki with sincerity and said heavily,""Suzuki-kun, please!"
Shozo Suzuki naturally knew what Kindo Inoue was worried about. Although he was not the direct commander, if the headquarters blamed him, he would not be able to escape responsibility. It was better to do as Kindo Inoue said.
They would first annihilate this Chinese army and then report to the headquarters. At that time, even if there was a punishment, it would not be too heavy.
"Inoue-kun, you and I are classmates of Imperial Military University. We will do as you say!”
