Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 273 The difference between brave and steady
After throwing a grenade, the two Japanese senior soldiers listened carefully to the surrounding movement, and made sure that at least there were no Chinese in this shop, but they felt relieved a lot.

However, the two Japanese privates still had no intention of going out.

Because, not only were there gunshots like popping beans on both sides of Zhongshan Road, but also more than 100 meters away, and even farther away.

This means that more and more Chinese are showing up, not only one of their infantry squadrons around the long street was attacked, but the other two infantry squadrons that entered the houses from their left and right wings were also shot by the Chinese.

Wouldn't it be silly to run up the long street at this time!It's better to stay here and wait for the situation on the battlefield to stabilize. The two Japanese veterans don't need to communicate with each other.

"The Chinese are so hateful, they want to take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to launch a sneak attack on our army." The Japanese captain who was still hiding in the corner had an instant insight into the opponent's intentions, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth and roaring. "Communications, signal flares, we need reinforcements!"

It's not that Hero Kato is cowardly and cowardly. As a captain of the "Steel Army", he is not afraid of confronting the Chinese face to face, but through the tens of seconds of fighting just now, he keenly feels that in this completely unfamiliar and complicated situation Under the terrain environment, I am afraid that three infantry squadrons, two Type 94 armored vehicles and two infantry guns alone are not enough to occupy the initiative on the battlefield.

He has the pride of the Imperial Japanese Army, but he is by no means blindly arrogant.

Now the battlefield he and his subordinates are facing is the same white walls and black tiles, the houses are tightly spaced for two people to walk side by side, and even the alleys are no more than one meter wide. The 1.7-meter-long Sanba Dagai with the bayonet on his back had to put his gun on his back even if he wanted to turn around, but the damn Chinese have a pistol that can fire ten bullets in one shuttle.

And there is no psychological burden, just run away after the fight, and when you come back to your senses and want to chase them, those guys who just ran away have long since disappeared in the depths of the dwellings that make you dizzy just looking at them.

This was a battlefield and a combat mode that the Japanese army captain had never experienced before, so he quickly made a judgment that 800 people were not enough to conquer this block, and at least doubled the number of troops.

Hideo Kato's judgment was considered correct after the war, because the strength of Chinese troops in the block far exceeded Kunizaki's expectations.

The major general of the Japanese Army originally thought that the Chinese commander would be bold enough to invest thousands of people in such a block, after all, it was only used to delay time.

However, he underestimated the determination of the Chinese people. If he wanted to stay here for three days and nights, he had to make enough sacrifices, even if it was to exchange his life for a minute and a second.

After all, there are only more than 30,000 people here, while Huxi, tens of kilometers away, has hundreds of thousands of troops and more refugees.

Guo and Wu are not the hot-blooded young Tang Dao who have not yet learned to ruthlessly give up their comrades. The hearts of the two lieutenant generals have been tempered in countless wars. They can shed tears for the soldiers who died in battle, but If they can live for more people, they will not hesitate to fill the soldiers into the fire pit, including themselves.

After making a correct judgment, the Japanese captain fired a red flare to signal for help from the brigade, and loudly issued an order to the surrounding Japanese soldiers who hid in the shop: "All search and defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements!"

Except for the 94 tanks with heavy machine guns and armor, which can show off their invincibility on the road with heavy firepower, the rest of the Japanese infantry followed the orders of their own captain and squadron leader. The shops or dwellings that stayed were used as bases to shoot in the direction of possible threats.

Although this kind of tortoise-like fighting style is not enough to show the heroism of the Imperial Japanese Army, the conservative tactics are very effective, and the casualties of the Japanese army in the Zhongshan Changjie area are quickly reduced.

At least the casualties of the two infantry squadrons a hundred meters away on the left and right were much smaller.

As soon as they entered the residential area, the two infantry squadrons scattered in small groups to search the residential area and suffered heavy casualties in the melee.

The Chinese way of throwing grenades from the second floor into various narrow alleys without talking about martial arts is simply a nightmare for infantry in motion.

The power of the flying shrapnel mixed with brick wall debris in a small space is obviously increased, even if it is separated by six or seven meters, it will be injured.

If you die, you will die, but most of them are the wounded, and each wounded must have at least one person to take care of them.

What's even more tragic is that they entered the houses to search. When there were many people, they couldn't see the Chinese, but once there were few people, the Chinese hiding in the dark would shoot in various ways, and those who had already occupied high places seemed to be able to cover the near The firepower of light machine guns and grenades in the [-]-meter area could only stare blankly.

Their only gain may be that when they found an enemy in the house, Sanba Dagai's precise shooting and timely throwing of the melon-style grenade, their excellent individual tactics made their counterattack sharp, and they also killed and injured some wearing Chinese in black military uniform.

However, compared with their own huge casualties, the Chinese are actually at an advantage.

The two Japanese captains were obviously not as flexible as Kato Hideo, and instead of being furious, they drove their subordinates to chase after the Chinese figure.

This is also the characteristic of the "Steel Army", the more frustrated the more courageous, never give up, very tenacious fighting spirit.

As a result, they encountered more sieges.

The other two security battalion commanders may not have as much determination as Zhuang Shisan, and they just want to get through the day, and it is best for the Japanese to retreat in spite of difficulties.

With this kind of mentality, it is natural that the closer to the direction of the Japanese army, the fewer troops will be placed, and the closer to one's own city, the more troops will be placed.

When the Japanese chased them so recklessly, and they had to kill them if they wanted to live, then naturally they could only invite more people to stop them with all their strength.

In a block with a radius of two or three kilometers, there are nearly 1600 security regiment soldiers, and the two deep infantry squadrons have only 400 people, and there is no heavy firearm cover. They are really not enough to watch.

Carrying the [-] big cover to fight street fighting is a very stupid behavior in itself.

Not to mention them, even the fighting nation decades later, drove tanks and armored vehicles into completely unfamiliar neighborhoods to suppress rebellion, and were killed to the point of blood.

The two infantry squadrons fell into a bitter battle, and the gunshots rang out in the distance, which made the Japanese infantry near Zhongshan Street secretly praise their captain in their hearts.

At least, after they did not blindly pursue but took the initiative to carry out defensive attacks on the areas they controlled, the casualties were much reduced, not to mention that even the gunshots of the Chinese were sparse.

The cunning Chinese have nothing to do with the steady flow.

In other words, in this area, the two sides briefly entered a stalemate.

However, both the Chinese and the Japanese know that this stalemate is only temporary, and the Japanese will never be willing to stand still like this, and the Chinese who have received the death order will not easily let the Japanese erode them. their exercise space.

The Japanese infantry who had stabilized the situation began to consolidate their territory. They must ensure the absolute safety of their area and wait for reinforcements to arrive before expanding outward.

Yamaguchi and Kagawa, two senior soldiers who have joined the army for four years, are faithfully executing the orders given by the squadron leader.

The two veterans may not have experience in street fighting, but they cooperated very well. In the small grocery store, one was in charge of guarding with a gun, and the other kicked the door one by one to search the house, even wasting grenades, giving the dark room Nei first threw a grenade, making it as professional as future special forces dealing with terrorists.

But the very narrow wooden door did not attract their attention.

Or maybe they thought it was just a decoration, and the wooden door less than one meter wide was for people?

The two bumpkins in the mountains will know that the shrewd Jiangnan people will make the best use of the space, let alone one meter, even half a meter, and they can make a door if they need it.

Senior Sergeant Yamaguchi was aiming his gun at a door very cautiously, signaling his companions to search the house with his eyes, and his back was leaning against the door where the crow was hiding.

The crow hiding behind the door was also trying to find the traces of the two Japanese soldiers. He huddled in the corner, listening to the footsteps of the devils with his ears open, and even breathing lightly. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, He even forced himself not to look under the door.

Give up the most trusted sight, and only use hearing.

The crow is growing at an unprecedented speed, from a bastard whose mission is to make money, to a hunter who can hunt and kill humans.

Until the sound of footsteps was close at hand, the corner of his eye swept away, and the light coming through the crack of the door suddenly dimmed.
