I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"The troops have to go up, and I don't have any spare reserves in my hand, so..." Huang Wei is worthy of being an "honest man" and a "nerd".

"How many troops does the Japanese army have in Sandun Town?" Zheng Dongguo looked at Zhang Jinglu, the commander of the reconnaissance company beside him.

Zhang Jinglu is actually the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 918th regiment, but in order to support the battle of the 128th regiment at this time, the 918th regiment temporarily transferred all the troops directly under the regiment headquarters to the 128th regiment. After being killed and martyred in action, Zhang Jinglu assumed the command of two reconnaissance companies.

"A regiment!" Zhang Jinglu replied very confidently, "The designation is the 101st Regiment of the 101st Brigade of the 101st Division.

"Why are you so sure?" Huang Baitao asked.

"Our reconnaissance company captured eight Japanese sentinels alive one after another. After torture and interrogation, two of them were killed and six confessed. Two of them said that they were a reinforced brigade and the other said they were two regiments. It is said that it is an alliance, so it can be judged that those two people are talking nonsense on purpose, and the four people who say the same thing are telling the truth!" Zhang Jinglu said, "We also have brothers on the road from Sandun Town to nearby towns and villages. During the monitoring, no large groups of Japanese troops were found entering or leaving Sandun Town, so it can be judged that the Japanese troops there have not increased or decreased!"

"The Japanese soldiers are very stubborn, how did you pry their mouths open?" Qiu Zhiji asked curiously.

Zhang Jinglu smiled: "No matter how stubborn you are, it's still made of human flesh. In this world, there are so many ways for people to survive or die!"

"A regiment of Japanese troops has about 128 troops!" Zhang Lingfu said, "Our 1.2th Regiment and 5000th Regiment combined are enough!" A total of 7000 troops from the 813th Regiment came to Shanghai to participate in the battle (some soldiers It was transferred later), after more than a month of fierce fighting, about 4000 people were killed or injured, and there are still more than 1500 soldiers who can fight. There were about 2500 casualties, and there are still more than 9500 soldiers available for battle. The two regiments currently have a total of more than [-] troops, which is more than twice the number of the Japanese army in Sandun Town and is not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of soldier quality and firepower.

"Please rest assured, Officer Huang and Officer Chen!" Zheng Dongguo said solemnly, "We will definitely complete the task!"

"Okay! Okay!" Huang Wei said again and again, and then hurriedly prepared to leave. He was going to the next unit to hand over the task in person, but Jiang Weiguo stopped him behind him: "Mr. Huang, please distribute these things to everyone." Troops!" He pointed to the truck outside.

Huang Wei looked in surprise and found that they were all radios.

Two hours later, at six o'clock in the morning, Hubei was still caught in a bloody battle, while Hudong returned to calm. In fact, both sides knew well that this was just the calm before the storm. Dao Huo Huo, but the officers and soldiers of the national army participating in the war were listening to the radio while eating breakfast.

China's first radio station was established in January 1923. It was founded by Osborne Corporation of the United States and belonged to the China Radio Broadcasting Corporation. It was first broadcast in Shanghai.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo was sitting in the position of the announcer in the radio station. He was speaking by radio to more than [-] officers and soldiers of the national army on the Hudong battlefield. channel.

"Brothers, good morning, I'm Jiang Weiguo!" Jiang Weiguo's voice came from hundreds of radios at the same time, full of his unique fearlessness and high spirits.

Because of Jiang Weiguo's "unique style" in his speeches, his speeches were later called "Little Chiang's speeches" (to distinguish Chiang Kai-shek's "Old Chiang's speeches".

Chiang Kai-shek does not like radio speeches, but prefers public speeches, in which he speaks in a cadenced, sonorous tone, accompanied by the signature movement of clenching his fists and waving his hands up and down).

"Brothers of various units who are participating in the battle in the eastern part of Shanghai, we are about to launch a full-scale general attack on the Japanese 101st Division surrounded by us! First of all, I must tell you that our number is six times the number of the Japanese army! Six times! Everyone Don't you feel very excited? Because we have a large number of people, we are sure to win and victory is in sight! In fact, we should feel ashamed! Yes, shame! Why? Because our ancestors beat the Japanese ancestors with the Less wins more! During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army fought a battle with the Japanese army in North Korea, and 13 Tang troops killed 30 Japanese troops. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army and the Japanese army also fought a battle in North Korea. Killed 101 Japanese soldiers, alas! Look at us now! Fighting the Japanese army, we have to fight more and fewer! One Japanese soldier is worth several Chinese soldiers on the battlefield! We are really giving to our ancestors Shame! Brothers, this is not the only thing that shames us the most! Let me tell you about the latest battle situation in Shanghai! The 101st Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded by us in the east of Shanghai. At the same time, the four divisions of the Japanese Army The regiment fought inextricably with our brother troops in the north of Shanghai. Last night, another group of Japanese troops arrived in Shanghai. It stands to reason that the 101st Division was surrounded by us. The Japanese army should send their new troops to Shanghai to rescue the 101st Division. Division? But the Japanese did not do this, but sent those troops to the north of Shanghai, and did not come to rescue the [-]st Division.

Why?Brothers, why do the Japanese do this? "

"Because the Japanese look down on us!" Jiang Weiguo suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of indignation, "That's right! The Japanese look down on us! The 101st Division was surrounded by us, but the new Japanese troops did not come to reinforce us The 101st Division, because the Japanese don’t think that the 101st Division will be killed by us! The Japanese look down on us! They think we are not capable of killing the 101st Division! They think we can’t do it! Brothers, don’t we feel Shame? It is shameful enough for the six of us to beat a Japanese, and what is even more shameful is that the Japanese think that the six of us can’t beat them alone! The head of the 101st Division Masahi Ito said yesterday He told reporters that the Chinese army is a herd of pigs, and his army is a tiger, and no amount of pigs can pose a threat to a tiger.

Brothers, listen up!That's what the Japanese say about us! "

"So!" Jiang Weiguo raised his voice again, his tone almost furious, "Since the Japanese look down on us, we must make them feel sorry! We will let their 101st Division die here! Except for those who kneeled on the ground and begged us to surrender, We want to kill every one of them! Kill the 101st Division no longer exists in the Japanese army! Brothers, shout with me—kill all the Japanese pirates! Give me back!"

"Kill all the Japanese pirates! Give me back my country!" The earth-shattering slogan resounded throughout the land of Hudong.

"I won't talk nonsense! Tens of thousands of Japanese lives are waiting for us to take!" Jiang Weiguo finally said, "My father has issued an order to reward 101 oceans for killing Masaki Ito! The 101st Division flag bearer will be rewarded with 50 oceans! After the elimination of the 30st Division, the top three troops with the most victories will be awarded 20, [-], and [-] oceans respectively! Brothers, let’s do it!”

Immediately, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the national army, who had been encouraged by Jiang Weiguo to such an extent, further boiled.

After Jiang Weiguo walked out of the radio station, Huang Wei looked at him suspiciously outside: "Jianhao, when did the principal offer a reward? Why didn't I know?"

Jiang Weiguo shrugged indifferently: "He didn't offer a reward, I offered a reward for him!"

Huang Wei was taken aback: "This... how can this be..."

"Why not?" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Once it succeeds, my father still cares about this little money?"

Huang Wei was speechless for a moment.

Hudong began to fall into unprecedented madness and shock, and a real bloody battle broke out.

Chapter 193

Although it is not the first time to see our own officers and soldiers rushing towards the Japanese army bravely, Jiang Weiguo still couldn't help feeling emotional again: the vast majority of these soldiers came from the lowest level of society. The small people with meager income and difficulty in supporting their families are the largest group to defend the country during the war; while those dignitaries and their second generations who are pampered and luxurious in peacetime are originally from this country. The group of people who have benefited the most, but when this country needs to be defended, how many of them will come forward?Great!Chinese people!Thinking of this, Jiang Weiguo felt both warm and bitter. He later "bought" several mountains in Chongqing to erect individual monuments to all Chinese soldiers (including civil anti-Japanese martyrs) who died in the war. The first monument is three square meters in size, engraved with the name, date of birth and death, place of origin, number of the unit he belongs to, main resume and achievements of a Chinese who died for the country.

At the end of the war, several mountains were densely packed with stone monuments, numbering in the millions.

Jiang Weiguo knew that heroes are most afraid of being forgotten, and heroes should not be forgotten. He used this method to let the people of the country and future generations remember those great compatriots forever.

Jiang Weiguo held up the binoculars and stared intently at Sandun Town, which was flying the Sun Flag one kilometer away.

Although it is extremely heroic to personally lead the charge as the "second son of Jiang", Jiang Weiguo would not do such a stupid thing. At most, he would only stay in the second echelon preparing to participate in the battle, but this is already very exciting The morale of the army has been boosted. After all, no matter how harsh and critical people are, they will not think that Jiang Weiguo, who is already on the edge of the range of the Japanese army's machine guns, has to fight the Japanese army with bayonets at zero distance.

Behind Jiang Weiguo, the troops preparing to attack are preparing and gathering urgently. From the regiment commander Zheng Dongguo down to the ordinary soldiers, everyone distributed a few pieces of paper and a large envelope, and the officers and soldiers who were about to go into battle wrote down Leave the suicide note to the family, and put small things such as watches, handkerchiefs, or cut off a strand of hair into the envelope with the suicide note as a souvenir for the family. Hundreds of photographers are busy in the queue Open the hand and take pictures of the officers and soldiers.

Shanghai is an international metropolis, and there are many photo studios all over the city. Jiang Weiguo hired hundreds of photographers to take pictures of the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers knew very well that this photo was very likely to be his own.

Among the photographers was Lang Jingshan, a reporter from Shenbao, an outstanding and leader of the first generation of photojournalists in China, and he was also the founder of the Chinese Photographic Society and the pioneer of Chinese photography. The soldiers were sitting all over the mountains and plains, all of them writing suicide notes! What a majestic scene! How awe-inspiring! Magnificent! I am a Chinese soldier! Magnificent! I am a Chinese boy!" He said with tears in his eyes afterwards .

The armored helmets and bayonets at the assembly point of the team were like stars and bayonets. Due to the superiority in strength of the 128th and 813th regiments and the tight time (because it is not known whether the Japanese army will have follow-up troops to suddenly land in Hudong), the three troops Road attack, all-out attack.

Looking at the troops ready to go, Jiang Weiguo felt both excited and sad, excited because his blood began to surge, and sad because he knew that many of these soldiers in front of him were destined to die, or soon, or today or tomorrow Will die, will die the day after tomorrow.

"There is no such thing as a peaceful rise! Which country's road to rise is not paved with the bones of foreigners and natives!" Jiang Weiguo sighed in his heart.

"Jianhao, tell your brothers something!" Zheng Dongguo came over and proposed to Jiang Weiguo.

Zheng Dongguo knew that the effect of his pre-war mobilization was far inferior to that of Jiang Weiguo, because Jiang Weiguo's status was "noble and supreme", and Jiang Weiguo was "very good at speaking".

Jiang Weiguo did not refuse, he strode to a small slope in front of the team, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked at Jiang Weiguo together.

Jiang Weiguo raised a loudspeaker: "Brothers! I don't want to talk nonsense, I just want to say two points. First, we want to kill all the Japanese in this town! Let them pay the price for looking down on us and aggressing us! Second , dead brothers, please go on the road with peace of mind! I, Jiang Weiguo, guarantee that your family will have enough food, clothing and clothing for a lifetime and will not be bullied! And I will build a monument for each of you, and engrave your name on the monument, so that all The Chinese people and future generations know your names! Know your heroic deeds! Brothers..." Jiang Weiguo couldn't help himself, tears welled up in his eyes, he was definitely not acting on the spot (he didn't cry when he met Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an) , but was really influenced by the great spirit of the compatriots in front of him who were about to use their lives to create the victory of the country. He wanted to shout a battle cry, but he was a little choked up, and at the same time there were some "stuck words", because Jiang Weiguo found out A battle cry needs a blast of tone and punch, and the words must be powerful.

At this time, four words suddenly appeared in Jiang Weiguo's mind. He took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and shouted angrily:

"Fengtian kills the thief!"

Later, someone analyzed Jiang Weiguo's original slogan specifically, and believed that this slogan contained two special meanings. One is "Fengtian". The second is "killing thieves". This word "thief" strongly depreciates the status of the Japanese invaders. Logically, the Japanese are "enemies" on an equal footing with the Chinese, but Jiang Weiguo calls them "thieves". Seeing the Japanese as "barbarians who disturb China" reflects a kind of fearless courage and arrogance of the Great China doctrine that Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiguo's troops despised the Japanese spiritually.

"Fengtian kills thieves --!!!" The slogan of swallowing mountains and rivers resounded like a volcano roaring through the land of Hudong.

The battle of Songhu was as fierce as the battle of Pingjin. In comparison, the battle of Pingjin was very heroic, because a large number of local miscellaneous troops fought bloody battles with the Japanese army as if they were dead, while the battle of Songhu was very tragic, because a large number of direct descendants of the Central Army The troops fought desperately with the Japanese army one after another.

Before Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the commander-in-chief of the third war zone, Feng Yuxiang, the vice chairman of the Military Commission, temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief of the third war zone. His heart is as hard as a stone, but when he reported to Chiang Kai-shek on military affairs, he still couldn't help but grieve: "...the Songhu battlefield is simply a big melting pot. Our troops are like iron blocks being sent into the furnace, and they are constantly filled in and kept going. After some divisions joined the battle, half of them died within three hours, like Luodian, the rate of depletion of troops reached one brigade a day!"

"The core battlefields in Shanghai and North are meat grinders no less than the Battle of Verdun!" commented the German military adviser.

"If Hubei is a meat grinder for human life, then Hudong is a steel grinder!" commented the German military adviser.

Maybe it was inspired by patriotism and the sense of honor in the army, maybe it was stimulated by the national pride generated by the Japanese's contempt, maybe it was inspired by Jiang Weiguo's solemn promise, maybe it was inspired by the officers to lead the way, maybe it was the persecution of the superior's strict orders, the greatest There are various reasons for the possibility that the Chinese soldiers participating in the war broke out with unprecedented determination to fight to the death. Hans Leohart, the general counsel of the 918th Regiment and the 128th Regiment who was also on the scene at the time, described it this way: "...After drinking a bowl of strong wine and smashing the wine bowl, the eyes of these Chinese soldiers exuded a frightening red light. Their spirits were almost crazy as if they had taken drugs. In this atmosphere, even the most timid soldiers will become as fearless as outlaws.

I suddenly thought, has the whole world underestimated the Chinese?Whether it is the Japanese or the Americans, the British, the French, the Soviets, and even us Germans, the great powers bully China to their heart's content, but they may have forgotten that this country who has been beaten and bullied repeatedly and has a weak temper in the past century Just like the nation of sheep is not really a flock of sheep, this nation has established Qin, Han, Tang, Ming and other powerful empires that shocked the world one after another, and their national power is at the pinnacle of the world!Their national soul has been sleeping, and now, the Chinese "Dragon Soul" has awakened, right?I have a strong premonition that through this war, China will step on the bones of countless Japanese and re-emerge as an empire that makes the whole world fear!"

Once the Battle of Sandun Town started, this small town with less than [-] original residents turned into a black hole of death.

"The death toll per unit of time in such a small area is so high that it is almost appalling.

Calculated by unit space and unit time, the density of deaths in Sandun Town can be said to be terrifying.

At the peak, in an area of ​​one square kilometer, within one hour, at least [-] soldiers from both sides were killed!" wrote a war reporter.

In the surrounding area of ​​the town, the sound of Chinese shouts and Japanese roars broke through the clouds all day long, almost overshadowing the dense raindrops, the sound of thunderous guns and the explosion of grenade shells on the battlefield, impacting on the Japanese defense line. The officers and soldiers gathered into a raging wave like a turbulent wave hitting the shore, and then they were submerged together with the Japanese army who desperately stood firm in the arc-like firepower net of electric welding arc and the choppy rain of flesh and blood.

The bullets on both sides were like a torrential downpour. Almost every second, the officers and soldiers of the charging national army fell down in the spring of blood pierced through the body by the bullets. In order to strengthen the firepower, the officers and soldiers of the charging national army carried a submachine gun, and the machine gunner hung the Czech light machine gun and the mg-34 general-purpose machine gun on his chest with a cloth strip to act as a "soldier". Enhanced submachine gun", forming a powerful firepower net like a golden snake dancing wildly.

The average altitude of Shanghai is only 4 meters. In most areas, if you dig one meter into the ground, there will be gurgling groundwater (this is also an important reason why the Japanese army did not expect Jiang Wei to dig a tunnel and blow up the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters). Therefore, Sandun The Japanese army who launched defensive operations at the base of the town could hardly dig out real trenches, and their bodies were generally exposed on the ground.

The rice fields around the town that were about to be harvested were flattened by the rolling army. Shocking pools of blood continuously bloomed among the golden crops, like small red ponds among the loess. The officers and soldiers of the national army charged all the way People kept falling under the precise marksmanship of the Japanese army.

Jiang Weiguo devoted himself to training the snipers of the national army, and almost all the ordinary Japanese soldiers were good shooters, and almost all of them could act as snipers temporarily, and the Japanese army was not stupid, and specialized in shooting and killing the middle and lower ranks of the national army who led the charge officer.

The deputy battalion commander of the 4th Infantry Battalion, Ma Xinquan, was killed only 10 minutes after the attack began. His major collar badge made him a target for Japanese shooters. A bullet accurately penetrated his German helmet and also penetrated the inside of the helmet. When the bullet smashed through the steel helmet, the sparks in the brain splashed, and Ma Xinquan was still holding a pistol and raising his arms when he was dying.

Seeing Ma Xinquan's death, Zhang Lingfu immediately took over his position. In order to prevent being shot by Japanese shooters, Zhang Lingfu took off his military rank collar badge and changed into an ordinary soldier's uniform, and then wrote "I am Zhang Lingfu" on the back of the uniform. .

"I will rush to the front of the army! Follow me! You will know who I am when you see the words on my back!" Zhang Lingfu picked up an mp-28 submachine gun and shouted at the soldiers.

Chen Fuhan, commander of the 4th Infantry Battalion, asked Zhang Lingfu eagerly: "What should the Japanese army do when they see the words on your back?"

Zhang Lingfu replied: "Will I use my back to face the Japanese army?"

Other officers followed suit, removing their rank badges and replacing them with ordinary soldier uniforms, and writing their names on the back of the uniforms.

Seeing the officers set an example and take the lead, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.

"The Japanese look down on us!" Zhang Lingfu said with red eyes, "We really should be looked down upon! We are several times the number of the Japanese, we and the Japanese have one life, but we can't beat them! The battle is like this, We are all guilty!"

"Fengtian kills the thieves!" Amidst the discoloration of the mountains and rivers, the Chinese soldiers roared towards the Japanese positions like lava and molten iron.

Famous war correspondent Fang Da once wrote in a news report: "...the soldiers of the national army attacked the Japanese positions like crazy, even though the Japanese army was brazenly fearless of death because of the influence of the spirit of bushido, they were still in front of the soldiers of the national army. Firmly suppressed in an invincible mental momentum, German tanks rushed towards the Japanese defense line like angry bison, and the tank guns roared out hot thunderbolt fireballs. The corpses of the soldiers were blown up to the sky, and the machine guns of the tanks even hit the Japanese soldiers' positions with flying sand and stones, and blood poured into the sky.

Because Shanghai is not suitable for digging tunnels, most of the Japanese soldiers huddled in the houses in the town and used them as firepower strongholds. Mortars and machine guns bombarded and fired from the windows. These houses are in the shape of horns. It was difficult to pull out. Some Japanese strongholds formed crossfire. The soldiers of the national army who rushed over were directly shot and killed by machine gun bullets fired from multiple directions. The tanks were also inconvenient. A No. [-] tank was stuck in place. It was fired from three directions by three Japanese machine guns, leaving the outer shell riddled with holes and the inside full of flesh and blood.

At the critical moment, the Italian fire-breathing tanks of the national army showed their might. The fire-breathing tanks bravely stepped forward, and the tank turret sprayed out beams of dazzling red light. Fire dragons soared away in the high temperature. Amidst the heart-piercing Japanese screams in the crematorium of soldiers, Japanese soldiers covered in flames rushed out of the stronghold with thick smoke and hot air like boiling water, and rolled around desperately, being burned. The skin was scorched, the flesh was rotten, and it was extremely tragic. The tragic pain of death made these Japanese soldiers die in extreme pain, which makes people feel deeply happy.

There are countless ways of life and death, and burning to death is probably the most painful. The soldiers of the national army who captured the stronghold of Japanese soldiers did not shoot and kill these Japanese soldiers who were covered in fire. The dead Japanese soldiers are like charred dead wood, which is too horrible to look at.

... "

In a small two-story building in the town, the captain of the 101st Regiment of the Japanese Army, Harmony Kano, raised his binoculars with a watery expression. He watched calmly. Feeling frightened, as a qualified Japanese soldier, calmness is the most basic quality. What's more, Colonel Haruo Kano doesn't feel nervous at all, because he is very sure that his wing can block the attack of the Chinese army.

"The German tanks and Italian tanks of the Chinese Army have posed an extremely serious threat to the imperial army, and tanks are their only advantage!" After putting down the binoculars, Colonel Ghana calmly gave an order to the staff officers around him, "Launch our anti-tank guns ! Destroy their tanks! Then launch our heavy artillery! Give them a devastating blow!"

第101联队的正式番号是“大日本帝国皇军陆军第101师团步兵第101旅团步兵第101联队”，该联队是一个步兵联队，而日本陆军一个标准的步兵联队包括：1个54人的指挥部、1个121人的运输队、1个81人的弹药队、3个步兵大队、1个122人的炮兵中队（装备着6门70毫米九二式步兵炮）、1个122人的反坦克中队（装备着6门37毫米九四式反坦克炮）、1个通信中队、1个卫生队，全联队约4000人。

In fact, the anti-tank weapons and anti-tank technology of the Japanese army are the weakest among the major powers. The demand for technology is not so urgent. On the other hand, Japan’s national strength is limited. It is difficult for the army to have a strong level of mechanization while the navy has the world’s third fleet. Therefore, most of the anti-tank squadrons owned by the Japanese army are “just In name, even if it is really equipped with anti-tank guns, it is mainly used to attack the enemy's bunkers. One of the main reasons for attacking the Japanese army.

Before attacking Sandun Town, officers such as Zheng Dongguo and Jiang Weiguo didn’t think much about the Japanese army’s anti-tank capabilities, because experience told them that the Japanese army’s tanks were not good enough, and their anti-tank capabilities were not good either. Into the flock", but soon there was a scene on the battlefield that surprised Zheng Dongguo, Jiang Weiguo and other officers.

On the extended positions of the Japanese army surrounding Sandun Town, more than [-] anti-tank guns fired fierce and sharp shells at the approaching national army tanks. Many national army tanks were destroyed, the No. [-] tank was blasted into a blazing steel wreckage, and the No. [-] tank was smashed to pieces in the big explosion, turning into flying fragments.

Ye Jing, the deputy commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, was hit by the Japanese anti-tank artillery because the No. [-] tank he was riding on. The tank shook, and five armored soldiers including Ye Jing were shocked to death.

Officers such as Zheng Dongguo and Jiang Weiguo who were watching the battle on the sidelines of the battlefield were all heartbroken. They were both armored soldiers and tanks.

"The Japanese army specially strengthened their anti-tank firepower!" Huang Baitao sighed.

Jiang Weiguo understood that the Japanese finally began to make up for it after being killed by the armored forces of the national army again and again. Objectively speaking, the performance of the German No. 1937, No. 10, and No. [-] tanks is actually not very outstanding, and they can still be used by the Japanese army. When the No. [-] tank will be born?" Jiang Weiguo thought painfully, "With the No. [-] tank, Lao Tzu's tank troops can truly cross the Sino-Japanese battlefield!" Jiang Weiguo Of course I don't remember these historical details. In fact, the Panzer IV was actually born this month (October [-]). Krupp produced the first prototype of the Panzer IV, but it will not be completed until early next year. One mass production, and the real mass production will have to wait until the autumn of the next year (the mass production period of the No. [-] tank may be brought forward due to the influence of Jiang Weiguo's butterfly effect, but Jiang Weiguo will definitely not be able to get the No. [-] right now).

The tank units of the national army, which had been hit hard by the Japanese army, did not flinch. The armored soldiers drove the tanks without fear while trying to dodge and bombarded the Japanese anti-tank guns.
