Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2897 False devil vs real devil

While Okamura Ningji and Yamada Otosan both continuously requested tactical guidance, Itagaki Seishiro assembled troops for the Changchun operation. His move aroused strong dissatisfaction among the generals of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army.The idea of ​​the devil generals of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army is also very reasonable. If the front line cannot be defended, what if Changchun is taken?Because once a breakthrough is formed by the Chinese army, Changchun alone will not be able to defend it at all.

As Tojo's most trusted subordinate, Itagaki Seishiro could have ignored these criticisms, but because Okamura Neiji and Yamada Otozo both directly sent power to the headquarters to question his behavior, so Tojo also suffered considerable pressure , and even sent three telegrams in a row, asking him to resolve the battle by the day after tomorrow at the latest: "...This matter has attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor. If Changchun cannot be taken as soon as possible, then I will not be able to withstand the pressure of the base camp. I can only agree with their decision. At that time, Itagaki-kun is likely to be transferred back to the base camp, and I hope you will cherish the opportunity..."

Seishiro Itagaki has already been transferred back once, knowing that if he is transferred back again this time, only the reserve will be waiting for him, which also means the complete end of his military career and even his political career.Naturally, this was something he tried his best to avoid, so when the battle situation was unable to make any progress, he not only came to the front line in person, but also began to issue death orders to his subordinates.

At this moment, standing in front of an officer whose face seemed to be smoldering, he yelled coldly: "At one o'clock, if you still can't see your army flag being planted on the tower, then you will commit suicide and apologize! Local reinforcements No need for trash!"

"Hay!" The commander's cheek muscles twitched, and he lowered his head in response.

After he retreated, many rank-and-file generals standing behind Itagaki showed expressions of rabbit death and fox injury on their faces.So far, the battle to attack Changchun has lasted intermittently for nearly half a year. However, in the past six months, they have obtained almost nothing except adding some foreign fertilizers to the Chinese land near Changchun.

On the tower, Tachibana saw through the binoculars the scene where Seishiro Itagaki reprimanded the Colonel, "It's Seishiro Itagaki, but unfortunately there are no artillery in the city, otherwise—" Tachibana thought so, and put down the binoculars regretfully.

"It seems that the Japanese army is about to launch a fierce attack again," a major next to him said softly.

"Bonhashi-san, what's the matter? Are you scared?"

"Afraid? Your Excellency, you are too contemptuous of people. Since I was spanked by Commander Zhang last time, I have forgotten what fear is."

The Japanese are just that weird.For example, Saburo Motohashi now.When he was still a second lieutenant in the local reinforcements, he not only hated the Chinese, but also had a lot of disdain.But now, he would be complacent because he was spanked by Zhang Xuyun.It seemed that Zhang Xuyun spanked him to save him a lot of face.But he forgot that when he was spanked in front of thousands of people, he had thought of suicide.

"Okay, this is the hundredth time you've said about spanking. Yes, being spanked by Commander Zhang is something to be proud of, but if we can't stop the Japanese attack, it's not about spanking. gone."

"Your Excellency, don't worry, with our Benqiao brigade, the Japanese army will not be able to rush up. We are the banner unit that Commander Zhang personally awarded the flag to!"

The Japanese attack is still the old routine, first artillery preparations, and then the infantry collective charge.The continuous attack of the Japanese local reinforcements is not without achievements. For example, gravel, bricks, and soil have been used to form several slopes that can directly lead to the city wall.With the help of slopes, it seems that the difficulty of attack will be greatly reduced.However, is this really the case?
The death-to-death battle has made both sides grow up rapidly. They will use all kinds of newly learned or newly understood tactics to deal with the enemy, completely forgetting that just half a year ago, they were still opponents who depended on each other for life and death.And the price they paid for their growth was a battle loss rate of over 30.00% in each battle.

When the cannon sounded, Tachibana hid in an anti-cannon pit prepared for him by his men.The continuous fighting has made this section of the city wall full of holes. Therefore, as long as the "fake devils" have experienced more than three battles, they can use local materials to build a bomb defense hole in the fastest time.

At this time, Saburo Motohashi had already appeared at the forefront, hiding behind a wall brick, looking through the gunpowder smoke at the dense crowd that suddenly appeared 500 meters away, he made a gesture and shouted: "Matsumura, are you ready? "

Songcun is a squadron leader under him, named squadron leader, but in fact there are less than one hundred people under him. "Hay!" Matsumura replied loudly.

"Heed my orders!"

"Hay!"

Compared with the Chinese paratroopers, the combat methods of the fake devils are actually very weak.Of course, because their opponents are almost completely Japanese peasants, they are stronger than each other in terms of tactics.For example, now, as a lesson from the past, the Japanese attacking army has begun to pay attention to spreading out their formation when they approach the city wall, but what Tachibana prepared for them was not sniper tactics, but the concentrated fire of grenades.

Limited by insufficient supplies, how to hold on to Changchun longer is the biggest problem that Ding Yi and his staff have to face.As a result, the grenadiers that had been abandoned by the Chinese army reappeared.In order to make up for the lack of grenades, the clever Chinese paratroopers modified the handle of the grenade so that it can replace the propelling part of the grenade, thereby providing thrust for the grenade.

"Flying grenade", yes, this is the special equipment that only existed in the Battle of Changchun.But it was this special equipment that caused great damage to the Japanese army.

Prior to this, the Japanese army had been hit by "flying grenades". However, because the defenders only used less than [-] grenades at that time, the Japanese army did not become too vigilant.

This time, Tachibana prepared 97 grenadiers for the Japanese army, and Hashimoto Squadron happened to have one per person.

The Hashimoto Squadron is ready to launch. Under the city wall, the attacking Japanese army is becoming more and more cautious as the distance decreases.

"300 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters! Charge!" With the roar of such a voice, the Japanese soldiers who had bent forward suddenly accelerated their running speed, and quickly rushed towards the city wall along the slope.

At this time, Tachibana gave the launch order.

"Bang bang bang!" The dull sound of firing the cannon sounded, and the next moment, there were sharp cracking sounds in the air one after another.Then, dozens of clouds of smoke exploded in the Japanese assault formation. In the "rumbling" explosion, many devils were overturned to the ground, and the howling sound immediately became the main theme of the battlefield.
