Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 298 Respect, Is Killing You (On the first day of August, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!)

The Battle of Cangcheng once again temporarily ended with an ending that Kunisaki couldn't accept but had to accept.

When he came to the front line in person, Kunisaki couldn't see how many corpses of his own personnel there were inside and outside Cangcheng, but he could see how many people were left in his two infantry brigades.

That was much worse than the 114th Division, which suffered continuous blows yesterday and had to be rehabilitated.

A major captain who led the team to engage in the "Long Live Charge" did not come back. In fact, it was useless to come back, because his infantry brigade only had half a heavy machine gun squadron and an infantry artillery squadron left. Those who are sent to the field hospital to lie down, whether they can make up an infantry squadron or not.

The other infantry brigade was not much better. Out of the 1000-strong manpower, there are now less than 400 people left and a major army officer who was devastated and knelt in front of him to plead guilty.

Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, even if he was as proud as Kunizaki, he had to admit that it was not that his subordinates did not do well enough, but that the iron nail of the Chinese was too hard, so hard that the iron nail he swung vigorously The hammers were all punctured.

Admitting his failure was extremely difficult for the major general of the Japanese army who had once triumphantly advanced on the battlefield in North China. The humiliation of defeat in front of a weaker opponent.

But at this moment, Kunizaki was stunned, but he did it.

After careful consideration, Kunizaki personally called the Tenth Army Command and the 114th Division, acknowledging his defeat in front of the Cangcheng position, and hoped that before the heavy artillery brigade arrived, there would be no more attacks on Cangcheng.

Yanagawa Hirasuke probably didn't expect that the Kunizaki detachment had suffered nearly 2000 casualties in just a few hours of fighting, and it was only the battle outside Matsue City.

If you say that Kunisaki Teng and his Kunizaki detachment are idiots, then how stupid is the Chinese army on the North China battlefield?That's obviously not very scientific either.

Even Moji Suematsu, who was going to read a joke, didn't look very good at the moment. Although he hoped that Kunizaki Zen would fall in front of the Chinese, Kunisaki Teng fell so hard that he hit his head. Breaking the blood was beyond his original intention.

It's not that he feels sorry for that stupid general, but that the harder Kunisaki fell, the harder it is to prove that the Chinese are more difficult to deal with.

And he is about to face the difficult Chinese.

Conquering the main city of Songjiang, how could it be possible without his 114th Division, the vanguard army?Facing such a difficult enemy, just thinking about it is a headache.

As the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke is obviously not a person who will change his orders from day to day. He will not easily change his strategic philosophy, and prefers that the Kunisaki detachment will attack again regardless of casualties.

In the eyes of this battle-hardened Japanese lieutenant general, the Chinese in Cangcheng were killed with a fierce move that made Kunizaki lose his determination to defeat them, but this move also made the Chinese defenders in Cangcheng the last of their strength. , perhaps without an infantry brigade, it can be easily handled with only one infantry squadron.

However, Yanagawa Hirasuke is only a commander, but not a division commander who can directly control tens of thousands of troops. In a sense, his real power is not as good as that of a division commander.

Therefore, he had to consider the thoughts of Itagaki Seishiro, who was far away in North China. That person who is now a celebrity at the North China Dispatch Army Command, if he orders him, sooner or later he will return to the Kunisaki Detachment that built the Fifth Division and suffer heavy casualties. It's strange that Seishiro Itagaki doesn't hate him to the bone.

This damn intertwined relationship, out of balance, no matter how helpless Yanagawa Heisuke was, he could only hold his nose and agree to Kunizaki's request.

As for Moji Suematsu, he had already sent a telegram agreeing to suspend the battle to the headquarters, and everything was up to Yanagawa Heira, the commander of the Tenth Army.

It is easy to do things with a backer!

Kunizaki, who was afraid that the headquarters would order him to attack again, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although he no longer lost soldiers in the war, the major general of the Japanese army hated the Chinese defenders still in Cangcheng.

It would be absolutely intolerable for him to let them slip away before the heavy artillery brigade arrived.

Therefore, Kunizaki threw an infantry squadron and half a heavy machine gun squadron on each side of Cangcheng. As long as the Chinese dared to leave the already dilapidated position, the rain of bullets sprayed by up to 6 heavy machine guns would leave them all behind. On the way to escape without much cover.

And when the heavy artillery brigade arrived, multiple heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 could completely smash Cangcheng, whether it was hiding on the ground or underground, whether it was fortifications or human bodies, they were all blown into powder.

The Battle of Cangcheng has come to an end, but the gunfire in the neighborhood has not stopped.

However, that kind of sporadic battle is naturally not worthy of the attention of a major general like Kunizaki, even if it will be his little gain today.

. . . . . . . . .

That was already the fifth blasting team sent by three Sergeant Komura Kumaichi, and they were still beaten back by the more and more accurate marksmanship on the pagoda.

Of course, except for the two demolition teams in the second wave who were too iron-headed and crows got rid of seven of them, the other three rounds of demolition teams tried several routes, were wounded and killed two or three people, and then took the initiative to retreat. withdrawn.

The Japanese army's battle damage was not as great as falling into an unsolvable battlefield.

It's just that the Chinese were alone, and the siege of an infantry squad by the Japanese army killed 8 people, injured 6 people but got nothing, and the commanders of both sides would collectively open their mouths.

At 0:14, even the extremely tragic Cangcheng, where both sides dispatched dozens of artillery to participate in the battle, failed to achieve such a terrible battle loss ratio.

But that's how miracles happen.

The potential of the human body squeezed out under the crisis, the deep-seated hatred for the Japanese, the fearless determination to die, a thief who accidentally broke into the battlefield and has the talent for observation, plus quite good luck, all kinds of complex ingredients are intertwined , formed this miracle.

Nearly 800 meters away, Cangcheng was under continuous artillery fire, and even the ground here could feel a slight tremor, all of which showed the commander's determination to conquer the Chinese, but dozens of Japanese infantry were helpless with the iron pea in front of them. Before the bullets of the lively Chinese were shot empty.

After a pause for a few minutes, Komura Xiong once again dispatched a new blasting team, but these four were different from the previous blasting teams in that they all wore gas masks.

This is already the last support Komura Kumaichi received from the Japanese captain after he was forced to ask for help again.

Leaving aside the order from the Japanese captain who hoped to catch him alive, even Komura Kumaichi himself began to admire this tenacious enemy on the top of the tower.

Although the empire entered China with the slogan "We want to go back to our hometown, China is ours", but as an adult and a normal person who has studied for several years and has a little brain, Komura Xiongyi knows very well that his hometown is in Hiroshima, which may be in distant China.

It was nothing but aggression, and the Chinese did nothing wrong, but their vast and fertile land is what makes only one narrow island coveted.

Owning fertile land is not a sin, but the rich land is still so weak, that is the original sin of their being invaded.

The originally stable life was broken, land and wealth were plundered, and life could be deprived at any time. If the Chinese did not swear to the death, then Xiaocun Xiongyi really believed that they deserved to disappear from this land.

Cowards and weak, why should they have these beauties?
From the division into the mainland of China from the northeast, the Chinese resisted. Komura Xiongyi, who had fought with them, knew that they resisted very hard, but their will and bodies were quickly crushed under the giant steel wheels of aircraft and cannons.

The divisions on the North China battlefield are advancing triumphantly, and there should be no exception in southeast China.

However, as soon as Komura Xiong saw tenacity again, just under this small southeast city in China, for several hours, the detachment could not advance an inch in front of the Chinese position.

However, compared to those resistances, the Chinese in front of him was the first time Cao Xiongyijun of Komura met him in the six years since he joined the army.

Alone, still stick to his position.

It's not that he didn't try to make the desperate Chinese lay down his arms and surrender. He even made a promise in the name of His Majesty the Emperor that as long as he put down his arms and came down from the top of the tower, the Kunisaki detachment would guarantee his safety.

Unfortunately, his answer was still a gunshot, although it did not hit the Chinese translator brought from the northeast who was hiding 30 meters away and shouting loudly.

For such an enemy, Komura Kumaichi can only respect his choice, but as a soldier of the empire, he can only make his own choice.

He wanted to kill him with his own hands, out of the respect an invader has for the defenders of their homeland.
