Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 275 Yuzo Kuroda Was Beaten

A squadron of Japanese troops crossing the river faced the sudden and powerful firepower under the firepower network composed of hundreds of machine guns.

The Japanese soldiers on the boat were constantly pierced by the scorching bullets, and their bodies fell into the Zhang River like torn cotton, instantly dyeing the river red.

At the same time, twelve Type [-] heavy machine guns deployed on the Zhanghe Bridge opened fire on both sides, pointing directly at the Japanese troops who were trying to control the ships to flee toward the east and west sides.

Kuroda Yuzo on the south bank of the Zhang River stared wide-eyed, his body standing slightly stiff, he couldn't believe that the tragedy in front of him was happening to the soldiers under his command.

"How could this be?" Kuroda Yuzo muttered to himself.

The second stick of the bridge admired the tragedy below with great interest, and even forgot to supply the bomb for a while.

"Two sticks, spring boards, spring boards!" The company commander Shi Desheng kicked the two sticks, and the [-] rounds of bullet protection boards would soon be empty.

Er Bangzi hurriedly picked up a magazine and inserted it into the magazine supply slot of the heavy machine gun.

"You kid, don't you dare to stick your head out of the bridge?" Shi Desheng cursed angrily, and pulled back the second stick that was about to poke his head out again.

"Company commander, there is a Japanese officer on the opposite side, and he is still holding a command saber!" Erer Bangzi said, pointing to Kuroda Yuzo on the opposite bank.

Shi Desheng poked his head out and took a look. The visual distance was more than [-] meters away, and he could only see a figure standing behind the carriage, which seemed a bit abrupt.

With the idea of ​​hitting three poles, Shi Desheng immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, holding the weight tightly with both hands, a tongue of flame emerged from the black muzzle of the gun, and shot towards the opposite side.

Heavy machine guns have always caused range damage and cannot be aimed precisely like rifles.

A series of bullets first splashed on the ground in front of the carriage, and then bounced off the carriage.

Kuroda Yuzo was stunned and did not respond, but the adjutant at the side reacted very quickly, flying over and overwhelming Kuroda Yuzo who was standing.

The bullet passed through the body of his adjutant and hit Kuroda Yuzo's right arm. The severe pain woke Kuroda Yuzo from a brief absence.

Seeing his confidant who had been with him for many years die tragically in front of his eyes, if the adjutant hadn't been protecting him at a critical moment, he would have been the one whose blood spattered on the spot.

Kuroda Yuzo suppressed the panic in his heart, pushed away the adjutant's body, and shouted to his side: "Machine gun cover, the rest retreat, retreat immediately!"

Kuroda Yuzo resolutely abandoned the Japanese army struggling in the river.

As soon as the words fell, piercing screams came from above, and several shells pierced the sky and flew towards the Japanese artillery positions behind.

The artillery battalion of the independent detachment on the north bank of the Zhanghe River has been measuring the location of the opponent's artillery after the Japanese artillery fired.

After roughly locking the opponent's position, a few test shots of shells appeared.

Without exception, the few shells fired in the test did not cause the slightest damage to the Japanese artillery positions.

The artillery positions in the northeast and northwest directions quickly adjusted their parameters. A total of [-] artillery pieces fired together and shot towards the south bank of the Zhanghe River. Immediately, the artillery positions of the Japanese army were covered by fierce artillery fire.

Giant flames rose around the Japanese artillery positions, and the bursting incendiary bombs swallowed the nearby Japanese artillery in an instant.

"Ah, ah!" The lit pedestrian torch rolled helplessly on the ground, howling in pain.

The scattered shrapnel shredded the body of the Japanese army like a sledgehammer, and the strong air current swept the stumped limbs and arms in the air.

After five rounds of artillery fire without distinction, it was too late to confirm the results of the battle. Chen Feng, who was located in the artillery position on the northwest side, ordered decisively: "Hurry up, move immediately!"

On the other side, Zhou Weihan ignored Zhao Gang's objection and forcibly climbed to the top of the second-floor blockhouse.

Zhou Weihan lay on the ruins on the top of the gun tower, raised his binoculars, and poked his head out. In the field of vision of the binoculars, the artillery positions of the Japanese army seemed to be engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

"It's a pity, after this round of artillery fire, how many of the little devil's artillery can be used?" Zhou Weihan said with some distress.

"No matter how good the artillery is, it must be usable. In previous unfavorable situations of the Japanese army, if the artillery cannot be taken away, it will be blown up immediately. Of course, there may be one or two Japanese artillery pieces on the opposite side. Under the cover of artillery fire, it is possible to be safe and sound!" Zhao Gang said teasingly.

After Zhou Weihan heard this, he turned his head, glared at Zhao Gang, and then said, "There were [-] Japanese soldiers who crossed the river earlier, nearly four infantry squadrons, and this will be another squadron. The heat is almost ready, don't scare the little devil away Already!"

Then he said to the monk on the side: "Monk, go and inform the first regiment and the 28th regiment to retreat one after another!"

The monk bent down and jumped down from the top of the second floor of the blockhouse. Tian Defu, who was still on the blockhouse, was dumbfounded.

"Defu, protect the detachment leader and political commissar!" The monk raised his head and smiled innocently.

The machine gunners of the first regiment and the 28th regiment who received the order retreated one after another under the cover of the heavy machine guns on the bridge.

On the north bank of the Zhanghe River.

Kuroda Yuzo had a gloomy face, a burst of anger was pent up in his heart and he had nowhere to vent it.

The more than [-] imperial troops led by him set out from Xinxiang. Although there were twists and turns along the way, the Eighth Route Army disappeared wherever they passed, and they ran into a snag at the Zhanghe Bridge.

In less than two hours, a total of five infantry squadrons were lost, and Mizuno Ichiro, who came all the way from Shangqiu, was also smashed on the spot.

"Your Excellency, the artillery suffered heavy casualties. There were less than 100 surviving soldiers. All six field artillery pieces were blown up, and five Type [-] infantry artillery pieces were blown up!" a Japanese military officer reported.

The Japanese army is a country with scarce resources. In the Japanese artillery unit, it has always been believed that artillery is more important than people.

Therefore, after Fuyi was attacked by artillery fire, the Japanese army did not try to avoid the artillery fire, but tried to divert the artillery.

The [-]-type field gun weighed about one ton, and it was too late to transfer it. In the end, only three lighter [-]-type infantry guns survived the artillery fire.

"Where did the Eighth Route Army come from? How could the number of artillery be stronger than that of the Imperial Japanese Army?" Kuroda Yuzo was stunned at this time, and doubts arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, we have fallen into the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army has obviously ambushed on the north bank of the Zhanghe River for a long time. First, it used its usual trick of minefields, but it just hid most of the light and heavy machine guns, making us mistakenly believe that the opponent's weapons and equipment are backward, so as to lure Make the imperial army attack again, and then use all the firepower to kill!" Chida Hanbei has been watching from the sidelines, but this time the outsider can see clearly.

However, Hanbei Qianda didn't notice Kuroda Yumitsukoshi's gloomy face, and continued: "The opponent still has a well-established artillery. I suspect that the opponent is the main force of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Handan City!"

Chida Hanbei's judgment after the fact was like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting Kuroda Yuzo's inner anger.

Kuroda Yuzo slapped Chida Hanbei directly on the face, and said angrily, "Haka, shut up!"

Hanbei Chida spat out two molars, and backed away while covering his face.

"You are in charge of choosing the place to cross the river. You are mainly responsible for the current situation!"
