The Hasegawa Regiment carried twelve 75mm infantry guns, which could fire directly. If they hit the front of an armored vehicle, I'm afraid our armored vehicle would not be able to hold on. That's why the vehicle commander was a little panicked and asked the surrounding vehicles to follow him in the attack.

The two bombers cruising in the sky understood what was going on after seeing this scene. Without saying a word to the brothers below, they immediately turned their noses and dived at a large angle. Four 250-kilogram bombs exploded around the Japanese artillery.

Captain Hasegawa of the 13th Division was planning to use this batch of infantry artillery to attack armored vehicles and tanks. He had already told his men about it. But who knew that these artillery pieces were still hanging on the ropes and had not been cut off from the ox carts at all. They were directly turned into parts. How could they attack with them?

Fortunately, this guy was not with this batch of artillery. If he was, he would either be reduced to ashes or parts, and he would be scared to death now.

The soldiers of Hasegawa Company came rushing over from the southeast with great momentum, intending to show off their skills on the battlefield and let the brothers of the 12th Division see how we fight, and placed all our hopes on the artillery.

As a result, under the joint attack of armored vehicles and air force bombs, more than a dozen artillery pieces had no chance to fire.

Before they could react, six armored vehicles had already rushed in front of them, and the small artillery and heavy machine guns were firing fiercely with their barrels almost red.

"Get out of the best attack position, there are six of you in front!"

An armored infantry company commander said loudly, and the six light armored vehicles in the front row began to retreat slowly. They had consumed a lot of ammunition in the previous attack and it would be gone within five minutes, so they had to give up the best attack position.

Subsequent vehicles quickly filled in, and some vehicles bypassed the nearby mound, preparing to attack from the southwest and outflank the Hasegawa Regiment.

Company Captain Hasegawa was stunned. While he was distracted, hundreds of people in front of him were killed and the entire team stopped.

This was completely different from the battlefield he had expected. In his fantasy, the position was still in the hands of the 12th Division. Their artillery had at least enough time to assemble the infantry guns, and then shoot at the tanks rushing towards them one by one. Although one artillery shell could not destroy a tank, if two artillery pieces worked together, they could still destroy it, especially at close distances.

In addition, our brave soldiers' suicide attacks eliminated the first wave of attacks, and the main force arrived. In this way, the Hasegawa Regiment made a contribution and helped the 12th Division to hold its position.

But the inside story imagined in my mind was far from the actual situation. The 12th Division had lost their position long ago, and even the captain of the defending position was dead.

The tank troops of the 72nd Division were advancing slowly. Although the speed was not fast, they killed all the Japanese behind them with every meter they advanced, and there was no need for a second cleanup.

"Sir, Captain, be careful..."

When Captain Hasegawa was thinking about how to defeat the enemy, a telegraph operator next to him pulled him off his horse. Fortunately, he acted quickly enough. The group of people on Captain Hasegawa's left were strafed by heavy machine gun fire. If Captain Hasegawa was still in his original position, he would have been killed like them.

Captain Hasegawa was shocked to see a fist-sized hole on the head of his warhorse. He felt lucky to have saved his life.

"Organize defense on the spot."

Seeing the soldiers running around, Captain Hasegawa said loudly that they were the most elite infantry company of the entire 12th Division, and they were also the original troops, without many new recruits.

But even so, chaos has begun to break out. The commander's words cannot suppress the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire. Soldiers nearby can hear them, while soldiers far away cannot even find their commanders and can only think about dodging bullets that are coming from nowhere.

The frightened animals no longer listened to their drivers and rushed all over the army. Some Japanese soldiers had their waists broken by horses and lay on the ground gasping for breath in pain. However, they could not endure the suffering for long because the soldiers and animals running nearby would soon trample them to death.

Captain Hasegawa shook his head in despair. Half an hour ago, he was still imagining himself as a hero who saved the entire battlefield and helped the 12th Division hold the front line, but now all he had to think about was how to survive.

The guy shook his head vigorously. He could not stop the enemy in front of him, nor could he gather his soldiers because these bastards were crazy. Perhaps only shouting and running could make them feel better.

Captain Hasegawa quickly glanced at the chaotic crowd around him and saw an intact mule fifteen meters to the left.

It is the product of cooperation between a horse and a donkey.

Japanese officers used to look down on this thing and could only use it to pull supplies, but now they can no longer care about so much. This guy threw away his samurai sword. Although it was given to him by the division commander, it is now useless.

He also threw away his military uniform. In this situation, the identity of company captain could not bring him any benefits and would also make him the target of enemy pursuit.

He rolled around on the ground, and his white shirt became dirty. He was very satisfied with the result. Anyway, the combat staff around him were almost all dead, and the ordinary soldiers didn't recognize his face.

He raised the pistol in his hand and shot his savior dead with one shot. This guy was the only one around who knew that he was the company captain.

The telegraph operator never imagined that I had just saved your life, but you actually repaid me with evil.

The telegraph operator was still immersed in the joy of future promotion and wealth. Although the battlefield was difficult, as long as he rushed out with Captain Hasegawa, he would definitely have a good life in the future. However, before he could finish imagining the good days, a bullet came first.

Captain Hasegawa finally reached the carriage, found a bayonet from a nearby dead body, and fiercely cut the carriage rope. He then straddled the mule and urged it to run south. As for his soldiers, who were in disarray, they could die however they pleased; he had no business doing that.
