Chapter 884 Killing

The artillery battalion of the Matsushita Regiment was left behind during the march. This was originally a measure taken by Matsushita Kihide to rush to the Nantou barracks as soon as possible, but now, Major Komura's request for fire support fell through.The orderly quickly ran back out of breath, "Your Excellency, I didn't find the artillery, they, they don't know where they are."

"Bage!" Komura was furious, he gritted his teeth and tried not to yell.The mountain artillery brigade has no hope, so it can only rely on the mortar squad of the brigade.Many of the Japanese soldiers recruited to Taiwan this time were retired soldiers. Their combat thinking was still a few years ago, and the artillery tactics they admired the most.Under his command, the little devil's mortar troops began to fire continuously at the forest in front left, and as if to prove how targeted Xiaocun's tactic was, the mortars fired here, and the opposite position The gunshots on the ground immediately faded away.

The time for the Xuebing Army to enter Taiwan is still too short. Although it has seized a gap and gained the opportunity to grow rapidly, it has also caused the following facts: the Taiwan Corps has good combat effectiveness except for the old team from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. However, the combat effectiveness of the newly recruited local soldiers is too weak due to lack of training.If you only look at it in terms of numbers, the current size of the Taiwan Corps is a bit scary.When I first came here, the Taiwan Corps had only about 5000 people, but now, each division has about 5000 people, plus the independent brigade directly under the command of Jiang Dahe, the total number has exceeded 1.Perhaps it is because the expansion is too fast, so there are less than [-] troops in the Corps who are really capable of fighting and can compete with the little devils.

This is also the reason why Jiang Dahe adopted shrinking tactics during this period of time.

It was still March at this time, and Ouyang Yun was busy with the Sino-Japanese peace talks, so he didn't have much energy to pay attention to this side. In his instructions to Jiang Dahe, considering the above factors, he did not ask Jiang Dahe what to do at this stage. How, but clearly pointed out: Your most important task now is to survive; it doesn't matter if the troops don't have time to train, fighting is the best training.Taiwan's terrain is complex. You can make full use of this, rely on the strength of the locals to deal with the little devils, give full play to the characteristics of guerrilla warfare, use warfare to support warfare, and use warfare to train troops. Then over time, the Taiwan Corps will surely grow.

Fight if you can win, and run if you can't win. Once you seize the opportunity, you will bite the Japanese fiercely and bite them painfully, and let the people of Taiwan see the strength of the Taiwan Corps. This is the fight that Jiang Dahe and the others are pursuing now Strategy.

Among the five independent units of the Taiwan Corps, the independent brigade under the command of Jiang Dahe has the most veterans, while in the 101st Division, there are less than 600 veterans in total. This number is assigned to Xie Changan, only more than 13 people That's all.Among the more than fifty people, 35 people came from the Xinghuo Brigade, and they stayed in the place much more than the troops. Like this ambush, nine people did not participate because of other tasks.Most of the other people have become officers, and even if they are not officers, they can be independent. For example, among the [-] members of the reconnaissance platoon, nine of them are veterans.

The first round of fierce blows from the ambush basically came from these veterans.The veterans have good psychological qualities and accurate marksmanship. It is no exaggeration to say that every bullet bites the meat.It is precisely because of their presence that the four regiments appeared aggressive as soon as they made a move, which directly aroused the vigilance of Shao Zuo Xiaomura, thinking that he was ambushed by a superior enemy, so he did not dare to launch a counterattack rashly, but immediately sought Heavy fire support.

However, after the first round of ferocious attacks, the Fourth Regiment seemed a little lacking in follow-up strength.After the little devils took covert measures and began to bombard them with mortars, the firepower of the veterans was suppressed. As for the recruits, although there were still a lot of them shooting, the efficiency suddenly dropped a lot.

Komura's sense of combat is very keen, and he immediately sensed this.He made a judgment: This must be the army left by the Chinese to serve as sniper, and the number will not be too many, so this is the opportunity for the imperial army.

"Kill it, charge!" Komura drew out his command saber, stood beside a small tree, and shouted at the prostrate devils.

Many Japanese veterans felt that something was wrong. Although the gunfire on the mountain was very dense, the aim was much lower. After the machine gun firepower was focused on by the mortar, it could no longer form an effective suppression.This time is indeed the best time to charge.Under the command of various sergeants, squad leaders, and squadron leaders, the devils climbed up, and then started a menacing charge with the [-] cover.

After this round of observation, Matsushita Kihide has calmed down.The enemy is not as powerful as imagined. It turned out that the previous round of fierce attack was just because they caught the imperial army by surprise.Now, the enemy's only advantage has been lost over time, so it's time for the imperial army to perform.

As an outsider from the navy, Matsushita Kihide needs to establish a certain degree of martial arts if he wants to gain a foothold in the army.He hurried on his way in such a hurry, on the one hand, he wanted to win the battle as soon as possible and establish his personal prestige.A small group of Chinese troops left to serve as snipers, is there a better chance than this?Matsushita Kihide gave the order to the messengers to charge the whole army, then got into the armored vehicle and ordered the driver to speed up, and he wanted to rush to the front to personally command the battle.

The densely packed devils rushed towards the fourth regiment's position in the last glimmer of vision. Many soldiers who had not yet experienced night battles felt powerless at this moment.They suddenly found that aiming became difficult, and many people were beating the side drum in their hearts, and suddenly lost confidence in victory.

Xie Changan has been closely monitoring the reactions of the soldiers.Although the Fourth Regiment had fought several battles since the establishment of the Fourth Regiment, considering that those were all downwind battles and followed the main force to pick up leaks, he knew that this was actually the first battle of the Fourth Regiment in the true sense.The psychological quality of the soldiers is still not good. At this time, the battle is actually not too dangerous. The Japanese mortars have already fired in depth, and in that direction, the fourth regiment has no ambushes at all.According to Master Zuo, hand-to-hand combat is the most courageous, and it is also what a team must go through to truly mature. Now is an opportunity, but judging by the performance of the brothers, it may be the best decision to choose to retreat at this moment.

"Tuan Zuo, the brothers can't stand it anymore, are you following the established plan—" the first battalion commander, Principal Yong, came over and asked him for instructions.

"Hold on for a while longer, and tell the brothers that the sky is still bright, and retreating at this time will become a living target for the little devils. If we want to retreat safely, we must suppress the momentum of the enemy's attack. Zhang Quanyou!"

"Here!" Zhang Quanyou, as Xie Chang'an's security platoon leader, had been following him closely, and now he answered boldly.

"Let the brothers prepare, we Yao will launch a counter-charge!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Xie Changan's posture, Xiaoyong seemed to be personally directing this counter-charge, he immediately stopped and said: "Tuan Zuo, you are the chief officer, how can you risk yourself? Let me lead the brothers to charge."

"No, I must lead the team myself," Xie Changan said firmly, without any room for negotiation.

Although Zhang Quanyou has not been with Xie Changan for long, he knows the character of the group seat.He said to Xiaoyong: "School battalion commander, don't worry, I will ensure the safety of the group seat."

The 33 men in the guard platoon, together with the veterans drawn by Xie Changan from the company along the way and the recruits who usually performed well, soon formed a stormtrooper about the size of a company.Under the leadership of Xie Chang'an, these more than a hundred people braved the flying bullets and went down the mountain. When they appeared in the first battalion, the devils who rushed to the front were only fifty meters away from them.

"Prepare the grenades, throw them as far away as possible," Xie Changan issued an order.

Except for the Independent Brigade, the Taiwan Corps is seriously underequipped with heavy weapons. As a result, grenades and machine guns are very important.Xie Changan hung a crooked sub-machine gun around his neck, holding it in his left hand, and a grenade in his right hand.

Xie Chang'an's battle to become famous was when he single-handedly wiped out a squad of devils with a crooked machine gun. After that battle, he was promoted from a machine gunner to a platoon leader, and then rose to the rank of current location.

The dense swarm of devils rushed closer, and even though the dense gunshots rang like beans, Xie Chang'an and the others could still clearly hear the wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah of the ghosts on the opposite side.

The devils in the small village brigade were very excited. They rushed out for more than 200 meters, and only lost more than [-] people in the process. This made the little devils underestimate the quality of the troops on the mountain.This group of ghost soldiers, who are mainly veterans, still have their combat thinking still a few years ago, and their favorite thing to do is to fight with bayonets.Some devils pulled the bolt of the gun with a rattling sound, which means that they began to withdraw the bullets, and were ready to shoot the Chinese soldiers.

The soldiers of the first battalion were still standing firm, and many soldiers looked at the shadowy figures in front of them, and their breathing became very heavy.If they didn't know that the head of the regiment was staying with them with the stormtroopers, these soldiers would have automatically carried out the order to retreat.

Xie Changan was also a little nervous.This is the first time he has commanded this kind of battle, back charge, it sounds cool, but the danger in it is not for outsiders.These ghost soldiers are of good quality. From the beginning of the battle to the present, the first battalion has lost more than 300 people.This loss has already exceeded his bottom line.It is also because of this that he considered that if the troops want to retreat safely, they must distance themselves from the Japanese, so he wanted to charge back.

"Come on!" When he could almost see the devil's face, he finally roared angrily, then used his teeth to remove the pull ring, swung his right hand violently, and threw the grenade in his hand.

"Kill!" The thunderous shouts of killing sounded, and more than a hundred strong men rushed out of the crude fortifications of the first battalion——
