Ten minutes later, just as Yoshikawa was frowning, an even more unacceptable piece of news came from the back of the canyon.
"Colonel! The enemy's firepower is too strong, our artillery squadron is unable to open up a firing position. The entire First Brigade is gone!"
Yoshikawa pulled out the pistol at his waist and pointed it at the soldier who was delivering the message. He shouted,""What did you say?"
"Colonel, the enemy's firepower is too strong. The first brigade is gone! Our artillery squadron is simply unable to open up a firing position, and now the enemy is already charging towards our headquarters!”
At this moment, Yoshikawa no longer had a shred of hope.
He heard the intense gunshots coming from the back of the canyon. He hardened his heart and said,"Everyone! Break out from the back of the canyon!"
At this moment, they did not dare to delay here anymore. Once they were attacked from both sides, they would really become turtles in a jar.
Right now, his second brigade was still around, and there were more than a thousand dynasty warriors. If they charged at the rear, they might have a chance of escaping the enemy's ambush.
Colonel Yoshikawa no longer hesitated.
At this moment, the snipers above the canyon saw that the Japanese had stopped firing and were moving towards the back of the canyon. They all understood that the Japanese were retreating.
They had clearly heard the gunshots from behind the canyon.
At that time, they realized that Zhang Qian only had one purpose for them to come, and that was to delay the Japanese.
Now that the Japanese had changed directions and were breaking out of the canyon, their chance had come.
"Brothers, the opportunity has come! Let's let the Japanese see what kind of results we can achieve with these 30 sniper rifles!”
As the Japanese's suppression stopped, the AWM's gunfire began to show its power again.
"Bang!"
Every time a gunshot rang out, one of the Japanese would be killed by a powerful bullet.
The place that was hit seemed to explode, and a huge hole appeared.
In the previous sniping, many of the Japanese officers had already been killed.
Coupled with the current sniping, there were not many officers left in the entire Yoshikawa Regiment.
This was also why the battle at the back of the canyon ended so quickly.
Once the artillery battle broke out, no one would be able to continue the attack after the Japanese were scattered.
With just their captain alone, how could one person take care of commanding more than a thousand people?
Behind a military vehicle of the Yoshikawa United, Yoshikawa commanded his troops to charge towards the back of the canyon while paying attention to avoiding the snipers behind him.
"How was it? Did you contact the military? When will our reinforcements arrive?”
" Colonel," the Japanese messenger said awkwardly," we can't contact the military now. We can't even set up the communication device." After we spread the news that we were ambushed by the 358th Regiment, we completely lost contact with the military.”
Yoshikawa gritted his teeth angrily.
"Forget it, I don't care. Everyone, charge with me!"
By the time Yoshikawa's remaining 2nd Battalion arrived at the battlefield behind the canyon, all the Japanese troops at the entrance of the canyon had been wiped out.
Even the artillery squadron that hadn't fired a single shot was destroyed by Zhang Qian's troops.
When Yoshikawa and the others arrived at the entrance of the canyon and prepared to fight with Zhang Qian's troops, Yoshikawa realized that the enemy he was facing was not the 358th Regiment that he had thought.
"This, this is not the uniform of the Jinsui Army!”
"Could it be that the ones ambushing us weren't the Suijin Army? Who could it be?"
"I've never seen such a military uniform before!”
After fighting for half a day, his troops were almost wiped out. Yoshikawa himself did not even know who was ambushing him.
This battle was too cowardly.
The two troops had just met and without a word, they immediately started fighting.
Five Gatling Guns were also transported here by Zhang Qian.
A hundred Type 95 rifles and Gatling guns. It instantly repelled the Japanese's attack.
Facing Zhang Qian's troops, the usual method of breaking out of the encirclement with a sea of people was completely useless.
The Japanese had no way of breaking through their firepower.
Facing the current situation, the only way was to bombard them with mortars.
However, their artillery squadron had already been destroyed by Zhang Qian. Even their mortars and cannons had been seized by Zhang Qian.
Even if they didn't break out, they could only be eliminated by the snipers on top of the canyon.
This was the inescapable net that Zhang Qian had set up for their alliance.
Zhang Qian had thought of all the possibilities.
Zhang Qian had made such a huge commotion because he wanted to use this canyon as their burial ground!!
The entire Yoshikawa Regiment had nearly four thousand people.
Other than the newly formed 3rd Infantry Brigade that was destroyed in Zhang Clan Fort, there were still about 3,500 soldiers left.
It had two infantry battalions, each with about 1,500 soldiers, and an artillery squadron.
The 1st Infantry Brigade had been completely wiped out in the previous battle.
The artillery squadron was also destroyed.
Only the 2nd Infantry Battalion was left, struggling to hold on under Yoshikawa's command.
Looking at the firepower of Zhang Qian's troops, Yoshikawa found it hard to imagine.
"The Chinese have such a powerful firepower! Impossible! Even the Northeast Army, which had the most advanced military equipment, did not have such powerful firepower!”
Under the firepower of the automatic firearms of Zhang Qian's soldiers, the regimental commander of the Yoshikawa Regiment was stunned.
In the entire war in Asia, the military equipment of Japan could be said to be invincible.
They had never seen any military equipment that surpassed theirs.
Before they invaded China, they had all learned about China's recent situation.
They didn't care about the backward Chinese army at all.
But now, he had paid the price for his arrogance.
The entire regiment was equivalent to a brigade in China. A total of 4,000 soldiers would all die in this nameless canyon today.
The Japanese troops were used to suppressing others with firepower. Now that they were facing the Self-Defense Forces that were better equipped than them, they did not even know how to fight.
Seeing that his troops were being wiped out by Zhang Qian's troops, Yoshikawa angrily shouted in the direction of Zhang Qian's troops,""The equipment of your army is very advanced, and it is definitely not something that the Jinsui Army can compare to. Can you tell me which army you are from?”
Zhang Qian, who was in the army, heard Yoshikawa's shout. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he shouted,""I'm the one sent by the King of Hell to send you devils to hell!”
After saying that, Zhang Qian said to the guards behind him,""Inform the Cannon Battalion that we've played with them long enough. It's time to take them in."
In the Japanese army.
Seeing that Zhang Qian was trying to fool him, Commander Yoshikawa was about to mock Zhang Qian in anger. However, his eyes were fixed on the mortar that was being fired at them.
Boom!
Boom!
The entire Japanese camp was completely annihilated by Zhang Gan's artillery battalion.
