I used the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to fight the Japanese.
Chapter 178 Bombardment
The soldiers of the guard company were greatly encouraged after annihilating a Japanese artillery position. They touched the Type 92 infantry guns on the position with great affection! Although the weapons captured by the Modao Regiment from the Japanese were relatively simple, the National Revolutionary Army was not so lucky. Since the start of the war, they had captured very few pieces of Japanese equipment, and the Type 92 infantry gun was a rare find!
"Stop touching everything! Those who know how to fire artillery, quickly set up these cannons and shoot down the Japanese tanks. The rest of you, quickly set up defenses, the Japanese are coming soon!" Sun Zhengyi ordered.
The Japanese wouldn't let the artillery position go once they'd captured it. If they were to retake it, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain? So many shells could blow their position to smithereens!
"I can do it! I can do it! This thing is awesome!"
"I can do that too! Playing a string isn't difficult!"
"I'll load the ammunition for you!"
"Yes, yes, I can load bullets too!"
……
In just over half an hour, the Japanese launched a fierce attack on the 521st Regiment's positions under the cover of tanks! The Japanese artillery positions were weakened, but the tanks continued to fire! Shell after shell hit the trenches, putting Zhang Yiliang and his men in danger several times!
"Commander! The Japanese 'Iron Turtle' is too ferocious! We've suffered heavy losses! The Second Battalion has lost more than half its men, and the First Battalion has lost more than a third! We have to find a way to stop the Japanese 'Iron Turtle'!" The chief of staff shouted as he crouched down and ran into the command room.
"..." Zhang Yiliang was speechless. He had naturally seen the power of the Japanese tanks, but he was frustrated by the lack of a way to counter them! Mountain guns could damage tanks, but in just half an hour, the No. 2 artillery position was also destroyed by the Japanese!
There's nothing more we can do!
"Commander, if all else fails, send some brave brothers to crawl over with explosives and blow them up! With these iron turtles here, we can't fight!" the chief of staff suggested.
This was a last resort; without artillery support, they had to risk their lives! During the major battles, countless soldiers from various units fought the Japanese tanks with explosives in hand! Destroying each tank required at least ten or more soldiers to sacrifice their lives!
"This..." The Japanese still have nine tanks. If they use human lives to cover it up, at least a hundred people will be sacrificed! These are all precious lives!
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as he hesitated, several more cannon shots rang out, shaking the entire position and sending many more brothers flying in dismemberment!
"Commander! Don't hesitate any longer! It's worth sacrificing a few brothers to fight the Japanese and defend the entire Seoul!" the chief of staff urged.
"..." Zhang Yiliang still couldn't make up his mind. After all, he couldn't bear to see a group of passionate young men die in vain!
"let……"
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Zhang Yiliang reluctantly decided to send a company of soldiers to charge with explosives, the order was interrupted by a burst of artillery fire.
Both of them were startled!
That's the sound of the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun! Could it be that Sun Zhengyi and his men failed?
I quickly raised my binoculars to take a look, and I could hardly believe my eyes! One of the tanks that was roaring fiercely on the battlefield had been blown up and was lying on the ground! The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward were also blown up by the sudden shells from behind, and they suffered heavy casualties!
"Good shot! It's Sun Zhengyi! This kid actually captured the Japanese mountain gun! Well done!" Zhang Yiliang shouted excitedly.
"Good! Excellent! This kid has done a great job this time! Should we launch a counter-offensive now?" The chief of staff shouted excitedly. Attacking the enemy from behind was quite a bold idea!
"Charge! How can we miss such a good opportunity!" Zhang Yiliang gave the order to charge without hesitation! With artillery fire holding them back, now was the perfect time to charge!
"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff immediately went out to relay the order.
"Beep beep!"
Soon the bugle call sounded on the front line, and the soldiers of the whole regiment were immediately energized. They jumped up from the trenches and charged back at the enemy with shouts!
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of artillery fire rang out rapidly among the Japanese soldiers, sending them flying and scrambling to escape. Two more tanks were hit and brought to a standstill!
The Japanese soldiers immediately panicked and started cursing loudly!
"Baka! Don't these artillerymen have eyes? They missed!"
"Die! Die! The enemy is ahead!"
"Bagaya road!"
Just then, the Japanese soldiers saw Chinese soldiers jumping out of the trenches and charging towards them, yelling! They were all furious, fixed their bayonets, and prepared to fight the enemy!
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The two sides were still some distance apart, and the Nationalist soldiers weren't going to engage them in bayonet fighting! It was much more fun to use Czech-made rifles!
In a short time, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the situation was completely reversed!
"Baka! Get back to me! First squad, take a tank and retake the artillery position!" Colonel Yamazaki knew that the problem lay with the artillery position, so he ordered his troops to withdraw and retake it.
"Yes, sir!" Major Captain Yuichi Yamada replied.
Colonel Yamazaki was heartbroken to have lost nearly half of his tanks in one battle. After the troops crossed the Yangtze River, the enemy's resistance became significantly fiercer! The days of chasing after soldiers were over, and winning was much more difficult than before!
Soon, Yuichi Yamada led his platoon away from the battlefield and ran towards the artillery positions in the rear. The artillery fire continued incessantly, but the Japanese, now on guard, found it difficult to gain any further advantage. Yuichi Yamada was very curious; the Nationalist soldiers were able to silently seize the artillery positions and even use captured cannons to attack them—he was quite impressed! These were the most tenacious soldiers!
"Hurry up! I want to see who has such great abilities!" Yamada Yuichi commanded.
He wasn't the only one curious; the other soldiers were equally intrigued by the enemy. Since the outbreak of the war, capturing their artillery in a single battle and turning the tables on them was absolutely a unique feat for Scorpion Papa!
Soon, the artillery positions at the foot of the mountain came into view, and through binoculars, a group of Nationalist soldiers were constantly loading ammunition and firing. Judging from their posture, the enemy wasn't professional artillery; they didn't have any observation posts to relay position information! To cause them so much trouble based on such a simple assessment—that was incredibly lucky!
"Fire! Blow up the Chinese soldiers guarding the outer perimeter! Be careful not to destroy the infantry guns; we'll need their cover fire for the next attack!" Yamada Yuichi ordered.
If the enemy could seize those cannons and shells from them intact, there's no reason why they couldn't!
"Hi!" the soldier replied.
"Boom! Boom!"
The shells hit the outer perimeter of the position, splashing mud all over the soldiers in front! Those strange wooden tubes were buried right there!
