Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 282 Silent Contest

However, looking at the dilapidated city wall in the binoculars, Kunizaki knew in a daze that this position, which seemed to be breached at any time, still had a terrible poisonous thorn.

The 114th Division lost nearly a thousand people in the two battles here yesterday. Even if he is as proud as him, he dare not take it lightly.

It was easy to issue military orders, but it was the heroic subordinates who could pave the way for his ambitions who died.

It's not that they can't die, but they can't just lose their lives in the little Songjiang city for nothing.

"Your Excellency, Detachment Captain, I would like to discuss with the 114th Division. They will be in charge of the battlefield in the residential area, while our army will concentrate our forces to conquer that fortress. I believe that Lieutenant General Suematsu Moji will agree to my detachment's request. Yes." The army lieutenant officer on the side watched his major general's detachment leader remain silent for a long time after receiving two telegrams in a row, so he could only suggest so.

The subtext of the Chief of Staff of the Lieutenant General is nothing more than: Let's give in to Moji Suematsu, and both sides will send troops to attack the Chinese positions. Although part of the military achievements will be shared, the battle damage will also be reduced, right?
It can be said that this is a way to get the best of both worlds, and the only thing to sacrifice is the pride of His Excellency Major General Kunizaki.

"No, the 114th Division has suffered a lot of losses in several consecutive battles yesterday, and is still repairing. Our army asked them for help after the first battle. Wouldn't it make people look down on our unit?" Kunisaki swept blankly. Glancing at his chief of staff, he shook his head and rejected the proposal.

Everyone has different personalities and perspectives, and has different understandings of things.

In the eyes of the Chief of Staff of the Army Lieutenant Assistant, it was just a succumbing to softness, but it was not the case for Kunisaki Teng.

Moji Suematsu put on small shoes for him like this, and he still ran to kneel and lick them. If it spread, no one would praise him for being able to endure humiliation, but more would say that he was a soft bone.

Especially Hisao Tani, the head of the Sixth Division, who has always been unconvinced by Itagaki Seishiro, the head of the "Steel Army" division, would be ridiculed if he heard about this incident.

Life and death are small things, but loss of integrity is a big thing.

For the sake of the face of the 'Steel Army', Kunizaki had to hold on to whatever he said.

"Then how should our department attack?" The lieutenant staff officer probably had expected such an outcome, so he could only continue to perform the duties of the chief of staff. "My subordinates thought that stones from other mountains could be used to attack jade. The Chinese used incendiary bombs to deal with our armored vehicles, so we can also use incendiary bombs to deal with them, but it takes a long time."

"Incendiary bomb?" Kunizaki's startled eyes suddenly lit up. "It's a good idea, but in addition to incendiary bombs, I remember that our army has special ammunition stored in it. The headquarters issued a secret order before setting off in North China. If the Chinese resolutely resist our army and are blocked, we can use this type of ammunition. !"

"What does your Excellency the detachment leader mean?" The army lieutenant gasped.

He also knew the existence of that batch of special ammunition, which was specially used to conquer some positions that were ineffective with ordinary attacks.

But, this is just the beginning, is this special weapon about to be used?

"Qiu Shi-kun, your suggestion is very good. Our army wants to avoid major battle damage and must implement the military orders of the headquarters. Incendiary bombs are very good types of ammunition." Kunisaki's always serious face showed a faint smile. "However, Jiangnan in China is not as humid as in northern China. The air humidity is high and there are many waterways. Just in case, some special bombs are added to effectively kill them. I believe the headquarters will not be harsh on this. "

"Hey! What the detachment leader said is true!" Army Lieutenant Sergeant bowed his head heavily.

"Then Akishi-kun will convey my military orders to the artillery brigade!" Kunisaki finally made up his mind and nodded with a smile. "I gave them 30 minutes to prepare. At the same time, I ordered the 3rd and 4th infantry brigades to put on gas masks and break into the enemy's positions after the artillery brigade attacked the two Chinese positions in front of our army for 20 minutes. They, I am waiting for news of their victory at the frontline headquarters."

"Hi!"

. . . . . . . .

Inside the guard post on the city wall of Cangcheng.

Tang Dao has been holding a telescope to silently observe the residential battlefield only 400 meters away from him.

He clearly saw the soldiers of the security regiment fighting the Japanese infantry on Zhongshan Avenue and on the left and right wings.

He saw that the soldiers of the security regiment basically followed his deployment, wandering around in various alleys and secret passages, shooting black guns and throwing grenades at the Japanese soldiers they could see.

He even saw the whole process of the Japanese army dragging the Chinese wounded soldiers on the long street of Zhongshan Road, and finally the enraged soldiers of the security regiment used Molotov cocktails to set the two armored vehicles on fire.

Peng Chong, the commander of the guard company who had been accompanying Tang Dao to observe the battlefield at the guard post, also saw all this. He was also angry, anxious and finally relieved, but he didn't know why Tang Dao mentioned that when he saw that scene. Rifle with scope.

With a straight-line distance of more than 600 meters, not to mention rifles, even heavy machine guns and cannons with a range of a thousand meters cannot guarantee that the impact point will be within five square meters.

It may be possible to use machine guns against the two armored vehicles, but it is also possible to tear the soldiers of the security regiment who are not far away, let alone the wounded soldiers who are very close to the armored vehicles.

As for the rifle, that possibility never occurred to him.

Even after experiencing yesterday's battle, Tang Dao is almost a mythical existence in his mind.

Of course, a tyrannical individual combat power is certainly the reason to completely convince the army captain and a group of proud guard company officers and soldiers, but Tang Dao's precise grasp of the battlefield situation is the reason why a group of proud guard company soldiers have since There are reasons why Da Da dare not obey.

From attack to retreat, Tang Dao seemed to have planted spies on the Japanese side, and the rhythm was extremely precise, even considering that the Japanese army would eventually shell and chase them.

Marching 500 meters to the south, he escaped the Japanese bombardment area just right.

Except for those who died on the battlefield, there were no casualties during the entire retreat.

Simply divine.

It's just that the captain of the army probably doesn't know. Even though he thinks he has a good understanding of Tang Dao's combat power and mind through a battle, he still doesn't know that Tang Dao has a hole card.

Perhaps if Niu Er, Yang Xiaoshan and others were here, they would know what Tang Dao wanted to do with the Mosingana rifle with a scope added.

Shooting and killing one's comrades with one's own hands is definitely not an easy decision. For Tang Dao, the difficult decision is not the straight-line distance of more than 600 meters, but the target itself that the gun is caught in.

Originally, in the future, Tang Dao would be a super sniper who could rank among the top five in the Chinese army. Even if the gun and scope in his hand are a few generations behind, he can guarantee that he will be able to fight against almost stationary targets 600 meters away. Hit to kill.

Tang Dao, who silently observes the battlefield with binoculars, has never been a high-ranking commander, he is also a fighter.

Although he couldn't see the sadness and despair on the faces of the wounded Chinese soldiers even with binoculars, he could imagine the tragedy and helplessness of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment who attempted to attack the Japanese armored vehicles and sacrificed themselves.

Facing the trap of the Japanese army, they made their own choices.

The battlefield is cruel. It is a process that the officers and soldiers of the security regiment must go through to become soldiers. Sometimes, they must learn to give up, not for their own lives, but for victory.

Tang Dao originally planned to use guns to help wounded soldiers deal with their pain. Not only did he know the purpose of the Japanese using this bait, a little restlessness would only make more soldiers fall into their trap.

Rather, as bait, the whole process is far more painful than death itself.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the security regiment perfectly solved the seemingly menacing Japanese armored vehicles with Molotov cocktails, and the Japanese infantry, who had lost their greatest support, could only retreat.

Tang Dao had no way of knowing whether the wounded soldier who was used as a bait was dead or alive, but someone turned him away, which also prevented his body from being burned into coke by the armored vehicle that was still deflagrating.

At that moment, Tang Dao was undoubtedly relieved.

After experiencing the cruel battlefield, the mob is transforming.

Although it cannot be said that they will soon grow into predators, but they did not abandon their robes and at the same time chose the most correct tactics, which has proved that they are already qualified soldiers.

When the ensuing retaliatory artillery fire from the Japanese army came, Tang Dao still did not leave. He aimed his eyes at the Japanese infantry outside the position.

Until the artillery fire gradually ceased.

The battlefield that suddenly fell silent left the soldiers with licking their wounds and waiting for the next round of battle, but what was left for the commanders was a silent contest.

The two sides are not guessing, but deliberating on the other side's next move.

The Japanese infantry is not inactive, they are regrouping, showing that they are ready for the next wave of attack.

In the field of vision of Tang Dao's telescope, an unknown number of Japanese troops have already entered the first-line trenches, and their front is the Cangcheng position.

Tang Dao's eyes became cold.

Since the Japanese infantry had already planned to attack, why was there no conventional artillery preparation?
