Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 249 Both sides hurt
Amidst a group of veterans giggling and swaying, the young soldiers walked slowly towards their veteran squad leader.

The closer he got, the more flustered he became.

Unexpectedly, beside the veteran squad leader, there were only four faces he was most familiar with.

But his infantry squad was reorganized as a complete infantry squad ten days ago, with a total of 14 people in the squad.

"Pillar!" A veteran who had served in the supply company of the regiment for four years, with a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his head, greeted him bitterly.

"Deputy squad leader! Sit here!" Another second-class soldier who was recruited from the cooking squad of the battalion headquarters in the same year as him moved to the side to make room.

The second-class soldier's whole body was dusty like a field mouse, and his face was so blurred by gunpowder smoke and dust that his eyebrows and eyes could hardly be distinguished, but tears glistened in his eyes, and his throat was throbbing trying not to let the tears roll down.

Needless to say, the young soldier could feel the grief in his heart, and his heart was even colder.

Trying to stay calm, he silently nodded to the few people he was most familiar with. The young soldier turned his eyes to the veteran squad leader who had been hanging his head and smoking a suffocating cigarette, and asked softly, "Dongguo, how many brothers are injured?"

This was already the question he asked with the greatest hope, suppressing his sorrow.

There are 14 people in the class, including him and the 5 people here, there are only 6 people, and there are 8 people, and the battle is less than an hour. It is still a defensive battle, and the death rate should not be so high.

It's okay if he was injured, at least he still has a chance to live on.

At night, all the seriously wounded will be transported to Songjiang City through the residential area. Before the Japanese army has completely encircled Songjiang, they may be transported to the original station of the 43rd Army by horse-drawn cart or truck one step earlier.

However, his wish finally came to nothing.

"No one was injured, the battalion commander strictly ordered that the non-seriously injured are not allowed to go to the line of fire, except for the five of us, and the iron eggs and persimmons that I ordered to help carry the wounded, the rest died.

Lao Xia was killed by a devil's machine gun, and Han Wazi was killed by a devil's grenade bomb... and Xiaoyu, who had a broken leg, could have escaped death, but he said it was not a serious injury, He didn't go, and finally bled dry and died.

There are still half of our class. "The veteran squad leader lowered his eyes and said in a voice almost like a mosquito.

The young soldier stood still as if struck by lightning.

In Dachang Town, in his infantry squad, he and the squad leader were the only 12 people who got along day and night for more than a year. During the two days after the war, he couldn't sleep every night, and his mind was full of pockmarked faces. , That experience was extremely painful.

Now, is similar pain about to repeat itself?

This kind of pain of constantly losing comrades-in-arms is still too difficult for a soldier who has just learned a lot from the war.

Not to mention him, judging from the silence of the veteran who has been in the army for more than 10 years, the blow is also extremely heavy.

Because, in the warlord civil war in Sichuan Province that veterans are familiar with, there has never been such a phenomenon.

The war mode he was familiar with before was that whoever wins will go with him.Sometimes when a battle is fought, not to mention the dead, there are only a few injured, who also sprained their ankles or dropped their legs in the chaos.

But now, it's different.

This is a war with invaders, and it is also a war of alien races. Failure means being slaughtered, and the country will be destroyed, just like the nomads invaded the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.But if you want to win, you need to make enough sacrifices.

Whether recruits or veterans, they must learn in this war, learn to accept, and accept parting.

Both your comrades-in-arms and yourself are very likely not to be able to wait for the day of victory.

But then, so what!
Major battalion commander Liu Zhenshan, who only commanded an infantry company, also sat blankly at the foot of the city wall, smoking silently.

The casualties were too great. In the first battle alone, the casualties of the infantry company he had just assembled reached one-third, and the Japanese had only just arrived with an infantry brigade. If it was an infantry regiment Or what about an infantry brigade?
Now that he was ordered to come here, the major and battalion commander who had left his last words to his wife in the military department had long given up on life, but it didn't mean that he hoped that he and his subordinates would be wiped out so soon.

The fall of Cangcheng means that the Japanese army will go straight to Songjiang City without any scruples.

That's one hundred thousand Japanese troops!Under such a violent attack, can the brothers in Songjiang City still hold it?It doesn't matter if he and his brothers are dead, isn't there even a single person who reported back home?

Not being able to send back even a single death news, what a torture it would be for the wife who was waiting at home!This was what the major battalion commander was most worried about.

However, the soldiers under the city wall, no matter whether they are silent or smiling and posing, they actually have one purpose, to persist in living.

The first battle in Cangcheng had already shown cruelty to the Chinese officers and soldiers.

What Tang Dao received were the battle damage reports reported to him by the two major battalion commanders and the captain and company commander of the fire support company.

On the side of the 67st Battalion of the 644th Regiment of the 1th Army, 86 people were killed and 19 were seriously injured. 43 people were killed in the 3rd company of the 39rd Army and 9 people were seriously injured.

In just one battle, nearly a quarter of the entire army was lost. Rao Tang Dao had already experienced the cruel battle of the Four Elements, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

He didn't expect that when the artillery of the Japanese army could bombard unscrupulously, the defenders who also had a solid wall would suffer so much damage in battle.

That also means that if there are a few more attacks of this intensity, the troops in Cangcheng will be almost consumed.

Tang Dao and the two major battalion commanders were heartbroken after counting the battle damage.

In fact, as the attacker, Major Junichi Watanabe's mood was far more gloomy than that of several Chinese commanders.

His fears finally came true.

The castle, which is much smaller than Jinshan County, has withstood more terrible shelling than Jinshan County, but its counterattack is more violent than Jinshan County.

Not only is the courage of the opponent not weaker than that of the Jinshan County defenders, but the opponent's equipment is far stronger than the opponent who has been hailed as tough yesterday.

Not only did they have mortars that were routinely equipped by the Chinese army, but they also had cannons that could shoot down the 89 tanks. The wreckage of the two 89 tanks is still smoking in the ruins.

Moreover, the firepower of the Chinese's light and heavy machine guns far exceeds his imagination, not to mention that they are also equipped with a large number of grenades. In the Chinese army sequence, only the Northeast Army who has learned from them will be equipped with a large number of them.

The vast majority of Chinese despise the Northeast Army because of the September [-]th Incident, but only Japanese military officers like Watanabe Junichi know the horror of the Northeast Army.

If it weren't for the internal contradictions among the Chinese, it would have been absolutely impossible for the former Kwantung Army to occupy the entire Northeast with their strength of only [-] troops.They just picked up a big deal as if they won the lottery.

Looking at the battle damage reports collected by the battalion deputy to each infantry squadron, Watanabe Junichi's whole body was about to burst.

If it wasn't for the brigade deputy being the younger brother of the captain's wife, he really wanted to yell at him at that moment: Have you graduated from junior high school?You added the wrong number!

In less than an hour of attack, 328 Imperial Army troops were lost, can you believe it?As for that, the loss of the two tanks of the squadron directly under the division's tanks has not been included.

Doesn't that mean that if there are two more battles like today's intensity, the number of the 1st Infantry Brigade can be cancelled?
However, except for the corpses of a very small number of Japanese infantrymen who were hit by grenades or mortars and were shattered into fertilizers on the Chinese land, most of the remains of Japanese infantrymen were dragged back.

More than 300 corpses covered with white cloths were parked in the wilderness of the south of the Yangtze River in China, and the eyes of the Japanese major became cold.

The bottom of my heart is even colder.

There are already so many imperial warriors Yu Sui, the anger of your Excellency, the division chief, should be relieved!

But obviously, he was wrong.

Moji Suematsu, who arrived at the front line, beat all of Junichi Watanabe's luck to Hokkaido with a few big mouths.

"1st Infantry Battalion, continue, attack again!"

Fighting at night with the lights on was a very rare experience for the Japanese army.

"The Japanese are crazy!" The two lieutenant generals at the head of Songjiang City looked at the meteor shower falling across the sky towards Songjiang, with solemn expressions.
