Chapter 260 Another breakthrough

The Japanese aviation force showed great success in the Northeast Incident of 1931, which made them understand the value of aviation.

They have been working hard to develop military aircraft over the years. In this Battle of Songhu, the Japanese aircraft were a trump card in their hands.

It's just that the battlefield is too big, and aviation support is needed everywhere. To deal with a single battalion of the national military, the Japanese have never paid attention to it.

The aviation force was not dispatched, and now the situation has changed: the cavalry wing was defeated!

Two infantry captains were defeated!

The tank squadron sent out has not yet entered the battlefield!

The observers from the multinational military observation group are probably laughing at the incompetence of the imperial army in the airship!

Only then did Matsui Iwane decide to use his last resort to deal with the battalion of only 600 soldiers.

Chief of Staff Harada Kumakichi said quickly: "Your Excellency, Commander! There is not only one place on the entire Songhu battlefield that requires aviation support.

To deal with just a few hundred remaining soldiers, one aviation squadron is enough."

"Yo Xi! Order Kiyoshi Hasegawa to have the Navy's Third Fleet send aviation forces to bomb the remnants of the national army near Baoshan Lion Forest."

"Hai!" The staff officer who had just brought in the bad news stood up and nodded, agreed, and immediately went out to issue the order.

Saburo Aso once again sent a second telegram. He did not know what arrangements the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters would make, but he believed that it would launch the most violent attack on the following team.

No matter what, the imperial army will not let this team leave the battlefield alive.

The Japanese's cheating behavior was not known to anyone on the battlefield below.

Neither Commander Lu Jingrong nor Wei Mingyang, the battalion commander who came from time-to-time, knew this.

Captain Lu finally had a smile on his face at this time.

He saw Li Cheng leading the guard platoon to rush in from behind the Japanese troops, and immediately disrupted the Japanese rear troops.

This gave the fourth and sixth companies on the left and right wings an opportunity to rush over.

Now the second battalion has divided the Japanese into five small groups and is conducting the final killing.

The commander of the fifth company, Li Daqiang, could no longer bear it. The Japanese attack on the fifth company's defense line had stopped.

The Japanese who had been charging desperately just now were now running backwards in a hurry. The Japanese were running backwards, and the fifth company commander now refused to agree.

Li Daqiang ordered loudly: "All of the fifth company are here! Follow me!"

The first one jumped up and rushed out with his team. Now there were only seventeen soldiers left in the entire fifth company who could charge with him.

Including him, there are eighteen Arhats in total!

Even though there were only 18 people left in the fifth company, they still rushed towards the Japanese.

Mikawaya Akira's captain was at the front when they attacked, but now he's running backwards, and he's at the back.

He heard shouts from behind him and turned around to see a dozen Chinese soldiers jumping out of the fortifications and chasing them.

Captain Akira Mikawaya knew that there were pursuers behind him, so he wouldn't be able to get very far by escaping like this.

He immediately responded and ordered loudly: "Turn back! Turn back! Kill them!"

There are still seven Japs left in his unit, and together with the Japs escaping around him, everyone can turn around and defeat the remnants of the pursuit.

Captain Akira Mikawaya was confident of this. He could see that the chasing team was exhausted.

They haven't fallen yet, they are just using their last will to hold on.

What disappointed Mikawaya Akira, the captain of the branch, was that not to mention the Japanese who were escaping around him, not even one of his own men turned around.

After hearing his order, all the Japanese soldiers fled faster.

Captain Akira Mikawaya understood: the defeat was overwhelming. At this time, the Japs were not trying to outrun the pursuers behind them, they just wanted to outrun the other Japs in the team.

Captain Matsushita Ota looked at the chaos of nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers. He couldn't understand: How did this battle end up like this?

Two fully equipped infantry brigades, with a total of 2,500 soldiers, ambushed an infantry battalion of 600 soldiers of the national army.

The final result turned out to be a major defeat of the two infantry brigades of the imperial army.

In fact, he knew in his heart: this was not a big defeat, but a total annihilation. He looked at the captain of the main hall, Daiki, who was tied to a wooden stake in the distance.

Captain Matsushita Ota was afraid that he would be set as a role model and would be stood up to visit by the national army.

"The situation is irreversible, and the Panasonic Brigade will surely perish!" Captain Matsushita muttered to himself, and then raised his pistol.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and mortar shells exploded next to him.

Shrapnel and air waves flew randomly, and Captain Matsushita Ohta and his guards were suddenly blown up by the mortar bomb.

The captain wanted to commit suicide! His guard captain Yuta Yoshitaka did not stop him, and the battlefield situation was so chaotic.

Captain Matsushita's suicide is better than the outcome of Captain Matsushita, who is regarded as a benchmark in the distance.

Therefore, Captain Yoshitaka Yuta did not stop him, but when the shells came down with a screaming sound.

The guards of the Matsushita Ota Brigade still reflexively rushed towards the captain: they wanted to use their flesh and blood to block all harm to the captain.

Of course, the wish was good. Seven or eight Japanese soldiers rushed over and used Captain Matsushita Ota as a human shield.

Although it was impossible to block all the damage, it still achieved half of the goal. At least Captain Matsushita Ohta only suffered some injuries and passed out when he was blown away.

When he woke up, he felt severe pain all over his body and suddenly saw Captain Daiki of our hall opposite.

Captain Lu was extremely happy to be able to capture the two Japanese captains.

At this time, there were still 137 uninjured soldiers in the Second Battalion and 87 wounded.

All the remaining soldiers died.

In today's battle, 413 soldiers of the Second Battalion were killed. With such casualties, the Second Battalion was actually disabled.

But seeing the corpses of the Japanese everywhere, and looking at the two Japanese captains, Captain Lu estimated that he had killed and injured more than 2,000 Japanese today. Comparing this result with his own casualties, it was one to four.

What a great victory!

However, Commander Lu was not happy, but the soldiers of the second battalion were still very excited. The wounded who were able to move around were cleaning the battlefield.

When Wei Mingyang returned to the Second Battalion position, he saw that the regiment commander had gathered the Japs together and asked: "Captain! What are you doing?"

"Gather them together and let's go!"

"Since we can't take away these Japs, why not kill them all!" Wei Mingyang didn't have the slightest fondness for Japs.

"No! We are a civilized team and cannot kill prisoners." Commander Lu firmly refused.

"Then let's leave quickly! The Japanese have suffered such a big loss, so they must have some back-ups.
Chapter completed!
