Cannon, bombardment, and then bombardment. The entire starting position was blown up. In order to reduce casualties, Takeuchi Lianshan had no choice but to order his troops to scatter and hide. However, he never expected that when the bombardment continued until the afternoon, the sound of charging could be heard from the foot of the mountain.
"The Chinese are charging up. There are many of them!”Tachibana ran over and shouted in panic. More than half of his team had been killed and injured, and they were unable to organize an effective resistance.
Takeuchi Lianshan, who was standing there in a daze, said coldly," I don't need you to say it. I can see it. The warriors of the Empire, it's time to sacrifice themselves for the Empire. Assault!”As he spoke, he drew his sword and was about to lead the charge.
However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Tachibana Kishio. Tachibana Kishio knelt down in front of Takeuchi Lianshan and said," Commander, this battle is my fault. I shouldn't have underestimated the enemy when attacking the airport, and I shouldn't have encouraged the commander to pursue. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins. Please protect the flag and retreat."”
"This is my mistake, I underestimated the Chinese, I…Boom!”
Suddenly, a mortar shell exploded not far away. Takeuchi Ryoko, who was standing, was knocked down by the shell. The guards not far away quickly pulled him into the fortifications, but Tachibana Kishio, who was kneeling on the ground, was fine.
Looking at the unconscious Takeuchi Lianshan, Tachibana Kishio said to the guards," Retreat with the regiment commander. I hope you will avenge me in the future. Now, let me defeat those lowly Chinese people."”
At the foot of the mountain, nearly 3,000 soldiers of the expeditionary army were charging towards them. The front row was filled with soldiers holding submachine guns and grenades hanging from their waists. There were also machine guns and mortars behind them as cover. The Japanese, who were already dizzy from the explosions, were hit by this fierce firepower and could not find their way north.
Passive counterattacks could not stop such a charge at all. This was the first time the Japanese had seen such a Chinese soldier. They were so excited that they charged forward without any regard for their lives.
Long Wenzhang was among them. As a battalion commander, he shouldn't have charged forward, but he liked this kind of scene. He liked to mix in with the troops and fight. He had long received news that the Japanese's regiment headquarters was on that mountain. He led a company of elites and rushed over there.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Sure enough, the firepower on the top of the mountain was much stronger. The crooked shots shot out, and a few soldiers were shot and fell. Long Wenzhang quickly lay down and shouted at the soldiers behind him," RPG, RPG, take him out immediately."”
Immediately, a big soldier carrying a rocket launcher rushed over and hid behind a rock. The assistant archer loaded the gun and patted his helmet to indicate that the gun was loaded.
He turned sideways and took aim. With a chirp, a rocket shot out. Then, with a boom, the machine gun exploded into the sky.
"Beautiful, kid is indeed a veteran of the 3rd Regiment. Damn it, charge with me. There's a regiment commander above. If you catch him, you'll definitely be rewarded handsomely.”Long Wenzhang was very good at stirring people's hearts. He brought his men and rushed up.
"Da, da, da." The machine gunners behind them quickly suppressed the firepower from above. Soon, Long Wenzhang led his men and rushed up. This was indeed a command post, but there were not many Japanese officers here at the moment. Long Wenzhang glanced around and saw a lieutenant and two second lieutenants.
When the officers saw Long Wenzhang and the others rushing in, they drew their military sabers and prepared to fight. However, Long Wenzhang had come to capture the regiment commander. Now that the regiment commander was gone, one could imagine how he felt.
"Damn you Japanese, you ran quite fast. You only left a few small fries behind and you still want to fight with me. F * ck, you're so beautiful.”After saying that, he raised his submachine gun and fired at the command center. Those who raised their knives were all shot into a sieve.
After everyone was dead, the group of people went in to search for the spoils of war. Unfortunately, many of the telegrams had been burned and the radio had been smashed. Only a battle map and the bodies of several officials were left. The other good things were the commander's sword, watches, and other things.
"F * ck, we didn't get anything good. Come, carry their corpses down. This is our battle merit. Hehe, when we get back, let the regiment commander reward us with something good.”Long Wenzhang said excitedly.
The soldiers were also very happy. They had never fought such a beautiful battle and even killed a Japanese lieutenant. It was an unprecedented battle record. One could imagine how they felt. They did not mind that the Japanese were still bleeding and carried them down the mountain.
At the same time, the battles in other places were also coming to an end. The Japanese, who had been beaten up for a day, began to retreat. This was a battle of defeat. The Japanese were not the kind of army that would insist on fighting when they could not win. When they suffered heavy losses, they would also choose to retreat. This time, the two regiments suffered heavy losses. They had no choice but to retreat.
Soon, the gunshots began to stop, and the scattered Japanese were also cleared out. At this time, the cameraman began to appear on the battlefield. He had just taken some images of the charge in the trenches, and now he was here to take pictures of the aftermath of the battle, mainly to take pictures of the tragic situation of the dead Japanese.
This was all requested by Zhou Heng. Every victory had to be filmed as evidence. After collecting the corpses of the Japanese, they had to film them again. After that, they had to cross the river and parade through the streets to let the people of Chanda see the results of their battles. If they wanted the people not to be afraid of the Japanese, they had to let them know that the Japanese would also be killed. Even if they died, they would only be corpses.
"According to the preliminary statistics, the number of Japanese soldiers wiped out should be around 3,600. 1,400 rifles, 28 machine guns, 18 grenade launchers, three mortars, one mountain cannon, some shells, bullets, money, and other supplies were seized.”Lin Yi came over to report the results of the battle.
The two regiments had about 8,000 men, and they must have chased them here for some reason. Killing 3,600 of them was already a good result. Zhou Heng was very satisfied with this result and said," Very good. Collect their bodies and show them to the people of Chanda first. Then bury them by the Nu River. We'll call them the Japanese Army's 4,000-Man Tomb. Oh right, how are our casualties?"”
"I estimate that there are 500 casualties, mainly because of the disorderly charge just now, which caused a lot of casualties. Even if the Japanese were beaten up like this, their combat strength is not weak.”Lin Yi suggested.
Zhou Heng nodded and said," It's my fault. I mainly want these soldiers to regain their fighting spirit and strength as soon as possible. That's why I did this. I definitely won't do such a thing in the future. The troops are not organized, and the casualties are too serious. Take care of the injured. The 3rd Battalion will stay at the south bank today. Go down and do it."”
