Chapter 115 Bloody Old Street (5)
Chapter 115: Bloody Battle with Old Street (Five)
For the Japanese troops besieging Chengde, there seems to be no one who is the most unlucky, only the one who is even more unlucky! Perhaps it is because the great master Amaterasu who they often worshipped was unable to remember the poor guys who took care of them in time, and Ono Nagashima is one of them.
After the artillery fire of the Chinese army's counterattack ended, dozens of surviving Japanese artillery soldiers found a pair of brand new military boots from the edge of the anti-aircraft hole that the squadron leader dug in person. Obviously, Nakasa Ono, who was preparing for the future, dug a good burial place for himself.
The body of Ono Nagashima, which was blown to blood and blood, can be said to have been mostly ripped by shells, and its dark and carbonized face is almost unrecognizable. Its miserable appearance makes people feel that if you add some wood, it may turn into ashes! Ono Nagashima is very honored to be next to Colonel Imago Akira's body, and next to Ono Nagashima are several majors and captains, including Kimama, Yamamoto, Tojo. The Japanese army's strict military hierarchy system makes Japanese soldiers lie separately even after death. The officer has an extra blanket, while the soldiers are lying alone in the snow.
Jiro Nishimin was holding his camera and taking pictures. It was very ironic that the photos of Imago Akira's life and after his death were taken by Jiro Nishimin. A large number of corpses made Jiro Nishimin couldn't help but fight a cold war. He knew that this was only a small part of them, because most of the corpses were still left in front of the enemy's positions, and some of the corpses that were smashed and blown were probably impossible to distinguish.
Rows of long corpses are still increasing. These Japanese corpses of various shapes between the ice and snow are probably hard to imagine the tragic consequences of their relatives invading other countries for the so-called rise and fall of the imperial country. However, most of the Japanese corpses have been almost stripped away, and many of them are even naked in the snow. All the Japanese clothes were taken away by the wounded. The death rate of Japanese wounded soldiers who did not have enough clothes to protect the cold was so high. A small cold in the ice and snow may have a life, let alone tetanus, septic infection, and sepsis!
Compared to the dead, their war has ended. If they win, they can still have hope of the white bones reunion. If they are defeated, they will be destined to die in a foreign land. For these invaders who are inferior to beasts, they seem to be afraid of this. They have killed so many civilians on the land of China and vented all their hidden beast nature. If they go to the hell of China, can they have good fruits to eat?
The Chuanjima Brigade and the underground brigade, which entered the left and right wings of the old street, encountered a difficult situation they had never experienced in one house next to one. Most of the houses in Chengde, Rehe, were produced from the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China. They were all solid houses with bluestone as the base and thick blue bricks, and heavy beams. The houses were often built by fathers and sons to build their sons and grandsons to live in. The construction was difficult and difficult, so naturally they were extremely solid.
Moreover, due to the strong wind and sand in the Rehe River, the rear windows of the house are basically small holes as big as fists, which happen to be reserved. Du Kefeng and Deng Li are equipped with two Mauser pistols and p18 submachine guns, heavyweight German imported wooden handle grenades, and familiar with the terrain, which makes the Japanese army almost unable to fight back. In the narrow alley, the Type 38 rifle is not only difficult to exert its precise advantages, but also the length of its puncture has become a problem that restricts Japanese soldiers.
Du Kefeng led two combat teams to walk through the walls where the holes had been dug. As soon as the Japanese approached, they would hold bullets without saying a word, and then hung a grenade under the entrance of the hole. Once the Japanese drilled the hole, they would explode a large area. The Japanese Kawashima brigade, which fought with Du Kefeng's first assault company, was a strengthened infantry brigade. The brigade had 1,190 combatants, and the troops were six times that of Du Kefeng. However, in street battles under such narrow characteristics, the Kawashima brigade's strength advantage was simply unavailable. The Type 38 rifle that manually spun the gun made the Japanese soldiers sacrifice to the Mauser pistol and the p18 submachine gun.
The fat-headed and big-eared Kawashima Kojiro was just in the battle. It can be said that the last battle of the Imperial Japanese Army was also during World War I. The current Imperial Japanese Army can only be called well-trained. Compared with the Chinese army that has been constantly in civil war, the advantage of the Japanese Army lies in its individual quality and overall weapons and equipment. If we talk about the practical experience of grassroots officers and the experience of individual combat, the Imperial Japanese Army is also a group of rookies!
However, this group of so-called rookies has unique training methods. For example, Kawashima Kojiro used more than 460 anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements he identified as the target of assassination for the entire brigade during the march. Using living people as the training targets for assassination can quickly get new recruits into the state of war. This training method is an extremely effective way summarized by the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War. It can make a well-trained recruit grow up at the lowest cost. This loss is much lower than allowing the troops to go to the battlefield to fight directly with the enemy.
However, today is the most cowardly day after Kawashima Kojiro entered the Rehe River. His troops had four squadrons under their command. After half an hour of fighting, all four squadrons were replaced. Almost his brigade was chased by Chinese troops with far fewer troops than his own. The Chinese army's submachine guns, Mauser pistols and wooden grenades were simply three magic weapons for street fighting. This is the preset battlefield of the Chinese army, and he was a fat sheep that broke into the opponent's tiger's mouth. However, Kawashima Kojiro was absolutely unwilling to be a fat sheep. He was used to treating himself as a vicious wolf.
Whenever he encountered a Chinese army squad, the Japanese army was in a state of absolute beating. The encounter just now made Kojiro Kawashima scared. Kojiro Kawashima never expected that an eight-man team of the Chinese army would actually have a light machine gun and seven submachine guns. They started a chase in the narrow alley.
At first, Kawashima Kojiro led more than 70 people to chase and attack the Chinese army. However, not long after, the two Chinese army teams cooperated with each other and stabbed Kawashima Kojiro from the back. When reinforcements arrived to count the casualties, Kawashima Kojiro took a breath and killed forty-three people, while the Chinese army only left three bodies? This terrifying casualties made Kawashima Kojiro scared.
Therefore, in order to get rid of the situation of being beaten, Kawashima Kojiro decided to gather all the troops of the brigade, and the scattered joint attack turned into a concentrated assault, using a large number of explosives to blast private houses and alleys, leaving the Chinese army nowhere to hide!
