War of Resistance

Chapter 1463 Pingjiang is in danger

For Ikkaku Akiyama, asking for tactical guidance was undoubtedly very embarrassing - the division headquarters reserved a battalion in Pingjiang area, with a total of more than 1,100 people; plus a puppet army corps, there were nearly 2,000 puppet troops alone; the division headquarters left so many troops here in order to strengthen the overall combat effectiveness of the Pingjiang area, but now, these more than 3,000 people seemed to have not played much of a role and caused the fall of Pingjiang County.

What bothered Akiyama Ikkaku the most was that the puppet army was completely useless and was just there to make a living. Once the war started, they disappeared completely.

Of course, the collapse of the puppet army was inevitable when analyzed - first, this army had no faith and did not know why they were fighting; second, this army did not have any qualified commanders and was supported by some ruffians; third, the Japanese army did not dare to train them seriously, for fear that the puppet army's combat effectiveness was too strong and they would disobey their command; finally, facing such a "boss", the puppet army would not fight with all their might.

Due to various factors, the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Pingjiang collapsed and became extremely bad.

"Mr. Matsushita, request tactical guidance from the Nanchang Command Headquarters immediately! They said that my battalion was attacked by the enemy's absolute main force in Pingjiang, and it was the elite of the Central Army of the Chinese Army that launched the attack. Now the South Gate and North Gate of our Pingjiang County are under fierce attack by the enemy's elite, with a total strength of no less than two regiments. Now all the Peace and National Construction Army troops have been defeated by the enemy. Now request tactical guidance from the Nanchang Command Headquarters." After saying this, Akiyama Ikkaku seemed to have half of his strength drained out, and he seemed to have almost no fighting spirit.

"Hai! Sir, I'll do it immediately!" Staff Officer Matsushita stood at attention and saluted, fearing that he would get a slap in the face if he said something wrong.

"Go!" Akiyama Ikkaku waved his hands weakly. Reality was too cruel. The slap almost made him unable to stand up.

"Hai!" After receiving the order, Staff Officer Matsushita left immediately without any hesitation.

Looking at the ceiling above his head, listening to the faint gunshots and explosions coming from the city gate in the distance, Akiyama Ikko felt a sense of despair: just ten days ago, he had sworn to the brigade commander that he would defend Pingjiang. Moreover, he had more than 3,000 troops, all of which were fully equipped. He didn't believe that the Chinese troops, who seemed to have weak combat effectiveness, would dare to attack like this? But what about now? The troops of more than 3,000 did not hold out for long before they fell into the current situation.

  Akiyama Ikko was desperate, but Zhang Tianhai was fighting very excitedly - it had been a long time since he had tried to beat a drowning dog like this. At least eight out of ten Japanese soldiers died under his gun, and many of them were killed by one shot as soon as they showed their heads. Not to mention setting up mortars and grenade launchers, they were simply sitting ducks!

Thanks to the accurate shooting skills of the officers and soldiers of the special forces company, the city walls were not "baptized" by the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers. In addition, the advantage of being high above meant that the advantage of the national army continued to expand, while the Japanese army had a hard time!

"Sir, it seems that the Japanese's attack pace has slowed down!" the soldier next to Zhang Tianhai said to him.

"Let's not worry about these. We'll just deal with them if they come out!" Zhang Tianhai smiled and patted the soldier on the back.

"Yes, sir!" the soldier responded.

What were the Japanese troops actually busy with? Yes, they were gathering, they were planning the next powerful attack, they had to recapture the lost South Gate and North Gate in one fell swoop, if they failed to recapture them, then death was waiting for them!

  "Second unit, third unit! Assemble!" a Japanese lieutenant shouted. He had few troops left, and he had to use these remaining troops as soon as possible to recapture the target, otherwise he would have to commit suicide to thank the Dog Emperor!

These Japanese troops, who were temporarily organized into combat formations, quickly assembled and formed neat teams. Everything about them showed that they were a well-trained elite force, and they wanted to retake the lost positions!

It was raining, and outside the eaves, the Japanese devils who were soaked by the heavy rain had taken off their military caps and replaced them with headscarves with the words "Long-lasting Military Fortune" written on them. The shining bayonets seemed to become even clearer after being washed by the rain.

“All troops! Warriors of the rising sun! Now it’s time to prove your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor with your actions! Let’s charge together with the weapons bestowed by the Emperor!!” As he spoke, the Japanese lieutenant drew the samurai sword from his waist and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Second troop! Third troop! Charge!!!” “Charge!!~~”

  These Japanese soldiers were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, as if what lay ahead was not death, but money and beauties!

The heavy rain is still falling, as if covering everything around. This may be a long-lasting rainstorm, or it may slowly spread into a flood, and then slowly invade everything around!

The sky was as dark as ink and the rain was cold and merciless.

  The officers and soldiers of the special forces company responsible for guarding the South Gate did not dare to relax at all, because they knew that the enemy would not give up. If they guessed correctly, the brothers on the North Gate had already retreated. After all, the brothers over there were responsible for the feint attack, and the real pressure was on them!

After a while, a group of Japanese soldiers, who were soaked by the heavy rain but seemed to be on fire, appeared in the sight of the officers and soldiers of the special forces company...

For the officers and soldiers of the special forces company who had been fighting the Japanese army for a long time, this scene was naturally familiar. This was a signal that the little devils were going to fight to the death! Of course, at this time, it also meant that these little Japanese had no way to deal with them, and they had to fight for their lives to have a chance of winning.

There was no loud shouting of "Fight!!" like in the movies, but instead there was the cold sound of gunfire.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

The sounds of rifles and light machine guns soon became one, and the flying bullets soon killed and wounded the Japanese soldiers. Perhaps they couldn't understand why the fighting power of these Chinese soldiers had become so strong? If they guessed correctly, the sound of rifles from the opposite side was the Type 38 rifles that they had just equipped! Why? How could such a force suddenly descend from the sky?

The sudden attack that the Japanese lieutenant had high hopes for did not bring the imagined victory. Instead, the only fifty or so remaining soldiers were killed or wounded...

"Have the main forces of the Chinese army already arrived? Pingjiang is in danger..." The Japanese lieutenant stared with disbelief, covered his still bleeding chest, and slowly fell to the ground...
