Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 228 Destroy it!Pikachu

That's right, even though they were hanged and beaten, the most depressed person on the river is definitely not the Japanese navy.

Originally, Major Hideyuki Koyama was extremely excited about being appointed as the captain of the Division's Advance Reconnaissance Squadron.

A staff officer of a division headquarters, no matter how much he holds the rank of Major, is just a fringe role in serving tea and passing orders to the infantry regiment in the division headquarters where there are so many officers. The previous command and reconnaissance mission would fall on his head.

Although he commanded only two infantry squadrons, he would enter the battlefield ahead of the [-] troops of the Tenth Army. This honor definitely surpassed the reconnaissance operation itself.

Hideyuki Koyama has every reason to believe that after this battle, he is likely to leave the Division Headquarters and become a truly powerful assistant officer.

After receiving the military order from His Excellency the Chief of Staff, the big hand on his shoulder and the eyes full of approval told him that this was an opportunity that His Excellency won for him.

Your Majesty's subordinates also need manpower!Koyama Hideyuki naturally understood this point.

From now on, no matter the wind or rain, he is His Excellency's man.

It's just that the smug Major Hideyuki Koyama never expected that the actual battlefield is completely different from what he imagined.

It’s okay to be squinted at by those grandchildren on the gunboat of the navy. The white eyes they returned are as many as the “Navy Millipede” muttering in their mouths;
It's okay to be attacked by artillery as soon as you arrive at the enemy's border. This is what war should look like. If the Chinese don't even resist, where does his military exploits come from?
The navy millipedes are dying and can only rely on the Imperial Japanese Army.

Therefore, he bravely led two infantry squadrons and jumped into the waist-deep icy river. He had to lead the warriors to kill the annoying Chinese people so that they could light a bonfire early to dry their clothes, otherwise they would get sick.

But, Ba Ga, the battlefield shouldn't be like this!

Major Hideyuki Koyama looked at the long and narrow sandbar in front of him, completely dumbfounded.

After a few strides, the river bank is close at hand, but it seems to be at the end of the world.

The green water surface reminds this unlucky man from Kobe. The water depth is at least three meters deep. Under the seemingly unpleasant flow rate, there is definitely an undercurrent surging, even a cow can wash you away.

Thinking about the past, based on his experience, there is still a chance to kick off the heavy military boots, throw away the heavy steel helmet, throw away the long gun that is in the way, and take off the military uniform that will become bloated due to water absorption, plus the water is good. .

But what about after that?Playing chess with Chinese artillery with bare ass?You flat gun, I vault?

Jump back on board?The Chinese artillery bombarded the sky and bombarded the three gunboats like frightened quails, and they were running desperately at the moment!
idiot!Navy Malu!Until this moment, the Major of the Japanese Army finally realized that he and his two infantry squadrons were in such a desperate situation, and it seemed that they were the victims of those gangsters.

The two infantry squadron leaders were quite technical and tactical. As soon as they got on the sandbar, they sent soldiers to run to the other side of the sandbar. Perhaps that end might not be connected to the river bank.

The others jumped into the bushes, regardless of whether there were spikes in the bushes or not, the Chinese artillery was now chasing the gunboats of the Navy Malu, God knows when they will come to patronize me?

Protecting yourself first is what an excellent Imperial Japanese Army should do.

Hideyuki Koyama, who was also lying in the grass on the sandbar, was also thinking about a deep-seated question, would the Chinese also have infantry in ambush on the river bank?Did they concentrate their firepower to drive the gunboat away from the sandbar, did they have a more vicious attempt?
that attempt, if true
Major Hideyuki Koyama felt his chirp shrink at that moment.

As expected of a high-ranking officer who had stayed in the division staff, Major Hideyuki Koyama's ideas were fulfilled one by one after 5 minutes.

The cavalry hiding in the rough positions on the river bank did not fire a single shot, just watching the Japanese infantry strayed into the sandbar, looking for a way to reach the river bank in a panic.

Because of the long distance and being somewhat condescending, they could see very clearly that the sandbar was never less than ten meters away from the river's bank. If you have the ability, jump over it!

"Destroy it! Pikachu!" The slogan shouted by Deputy Director Tang almost made the heads of several Chinese officers who had already been blinded by the Japanese navy and army's operation nearly shut down.

Destruction, they understand, but what the hell is Pikachu?Is it because these guys are stuck on the dunes?
Then, look a little skinny?
The slogan is very magical, but Deputy Director Tang not only speaks but does not use hands.

The three red flares that were fired afterwards were to issue an order to the entire army to attack with all their strength.

There was a gunshot like popping beans.

Bullets rushed towards the sandbar like raindrops.

Major Koyama Hideyuki who was crawling on the sandbar almost cried.The Chinese are more vicious than he imagined.

The density of bullets is astonishing and not scary, but the scary thing is that they are in this broken place without any shelter at all.

Most of the Japanese infantry could only crawl on the sand, digging out a small pile of sand with a single shovel in vain, and piled it in front of them.

But then, there is a bird for it?Can the hole dug out be able to hide a head or a foot?

Can the small pile of sand that can't stop bullets at all be called grave sand?

Of course, the well-trained officers and soldiers of the 114th Division were by no means vegetarians. While crawling to avoid the torrent of bullets, they also launched their own counterattacks.

Two infantry squadrons and six infantry squads possessed 6 light machine guns and 12 grenade grenades. Not to be outdone, the tongues of fire swept out also hit the branches and leaves flying around the central position hidden in the woods and bushes.

However, what they faced this time was not an ordinary Chinese army. They could actually be regarded as their students. Not only the machine guns and light artillery in the Northeast Army were imitated from Japan, but even the grenadiers were equipped with the same equipment.

The five cavalry companies are actually only 500 people, which is not much more than the two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army. It is also far stronger than the Japanese infantry.

Not only are there as many as 30 machine guns, but there are also as many as 15 grenade launchers. You and I hit grenades on both sides, blowing up the positions of both sides.

But there are simple fortifications on the Chinese side, and there is not even a stone on the Japanese side. Once the shrapnel flies,
Then, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

The geographical gap caused the Japanese infantry, who were unable to show their excellent tactics at all, to be at a disadvantage from the beginning.

But this is not what makes Hideyuki Koyama feel the most scary. The Chinese flat-fire guns, mortars, and machine guns are still chasing the three gunboats of the Navy Malu. What about after they finish their opponents?
Looking back at the three gunboats that were 400 meters behind him and being blown up into flames, the Japanese army commander knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for his own side. There are nearly [-] people, and none of them can escape.

He had to find a way out of the predicament before the navy millipedes were killed.

"Notify Captain Yamamoto and Captain Aso, please come to me, we must leave this damn place as soon as possible." Koyama Hideyuki ordered the messenger to notify the two infantry squadron leaders.

The two signal soldiers quickly crawled in two directions.

Little did they know, this scene happened to be in the eyes of Tang Dao who was observing the battlefield with a telescope.

The wave of Japanese troops who got off the gunboat was far smarter than the guys from the 36th Infantry Regiment who liked to pretend. None of the officers wore long leather boots or white gloves, so it was difficult to identify their identities just by their clothes.

Tang Dao, who had a Liao-made Thirteen Cavalry Rifle by his hand, never found the target he wanted.

After observing with binoculars for a long time, Tang Dao saw two Japanese soldiers crawling out of a bush.

Seeing them crawling to the distance to find someone, Tang Dao instantly determined that the commander of the Japanese army was hidden there, and those who could have signal soldiers were at least above the rank of second lieutenant.

The earth-yellow shadow loomed in the lush bushes, and if you wanted to attack with a rifle, even Tang Dao was not sure.

But luckily, he is the Supreme Commander.

Without a rifle, he can still attack his suspected target.

"The grenade!"
