Volume 1 Chapter 031 New Soldiers
The gendarmerie was responsible for supervising discipline in the Japanese Army and for gathering intelligence on anti-Japanese armed forces.
To demonstrate the authority of the gendarmerie.
The military police can manage Japanese soldiers who are three ranks higher than themselves.
Although Ichiro Hirata is only a lieutenant colonel, he has the authority to command the regiment commander.
Not to mention he was just a mere brigade captain.
"Yes!" the adjutant bowed and shouted.
The Kuroda Brigade was immediately assembled and rushed to Linzhai Town.
The Japanese army quickly sent people to rescue, but the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Imperial Army was now in danger.
Ten mortars carried out intensive bombardment, and the enemy's position was blown up in an instant.
These puppet soldiers were branded as traitors. They were nothing but a group of people who were afraid of death and just wanted to make a living.
Now under heavy bombardment, they immediately blew up their nest.
Ignoring their superiors' yelling, they began to run backwards desperately.
After firing more than fifty shells at one time, all the city walls were filtered out.
The charge sounded, and the soldiers on the 5th Battalion's position got up from the ground and rushed towards the town.
The artillery fire also began to extend forward.
No matter how well the recruits perform in training.
Really on the battlefield.
When people are nervous, they are more likely to make mistakes.
This is not.
During the charge of Ma Shan, the new recruits kicked their front feet with their back feet and fell to the ground.
Before he even encountered the enemy, he got injured.
Li Yuanbao was nervously holding the trigger tightly during the charge, and subconsciously exerted force while running.
boom!
The gun went off accidentally.
Bullets flew past their comrades, hitting the ground and splashing dirt.
The comrade was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips were trembling.
Li Yuanbao, who almost killed his comrade by mistake, was so scared that he threw his gun to the ground and said hurriedly, "I...I...didn't mean it!"
Shen Quan saw this scene. He was so angry that he kicked Li Yuanbao to the ground.
"Who the hell told you to throw away your gun? Hurry up and pick up your gun and rush over to me, or I'll shoot you!"
Seeing the company commander's furious look, Li Yuanbao habitually obeyed orders, ran up, picked up the gun and rushed forward.
What was strange was that he was yelled at by the company commander.
Li Yuanbao, who was nervous just now, doesn't feel so scared now.
He obeyed the order, quickly picked up the gun and rushed forward.
Apart from the mistakes made by the recruits due to nervousness and fear.
When they rushed to the city gate, they saw a battlefield like hell with broken arms, intestines, and brains of puppet soldiers who were bombed by mortars all over the ground.
The dozen or so recruits had never seen such a horrific scene.
I immediately couldn't help but vomit.
When the squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders saw these people, they kicked and yelled at them.
"Damn it. Keep charging. Faster! You bastards!"
"Don't stop! Keep going! Kill!"
"You bunch of new recruits, keep charging. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
…
These officers are all new recruits, and they know it well.
As long as they get through today, these recruits will be much better off in the future.
They urged the recruits to keep moving forward and not let them stop to think at this time.
That would just be bad.
The puppet army suffered heavy casualties in the previous shelling.
What's more, Shen Quan led the broadsword team to charge at the front line. If they were far away, they would use box guns. If they were close, they would use broadswords to chop.
In the narrow space of the city gate, a broadsword is more useful than a rifle as tall as a person.
Shen Quan is as fierce as a tiger.
With his ferocious face and constant roars, he looked like a man-eating tiger.
Following closely behind him was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The swords flashed and the second devils wailed.
The swords were sharp and heads were rolling.
The blade rose and fell, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The puppet army, which was already unorganized, became even more disorganized under the charge of the big knife team.
The puppet troops were defeated and had no idea where their leaders had gone.
They lost the courage to fight and immediately fled in all directions, each caring about their own lives.
The defeat is done and cannot be reversed.
The entire battlefield was one-sided. The broadsword team easily dispersed the puppet army's troops guarding the city gate, and then chased the defeated army into the town.
In this way, after paying the price of more than a dozen casualties, the 5th Battalion took control of the city wall.
In Linzhai Town, there is the headquarters of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Imperial Army.
"Captain, commander, it's bad. The enemy's attack is very fierce. Send troops quickly. I only have a battalion of troops here. I will not be able to hold on. Commander, I have to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the conversation on the other end of the line suddenly stopped.
The grenade instantly destroyed the machine gun position, and the enemy battalion commander was buried under the rubble before he could even finish his call for help.
As the city gate was taken, soldiers from the 5th Battalion rushed in.
The outer perimeter had been completely lost. Chen Li, the leader of the puppet army's guard platoon, said anxiously: "Sir, we can't hold on any longer. Let's break out quickly!"
He didn't want to die here, so he kept persuading Zhong Yunhe.
Hearing the noise coming from the other end of the phone, Zhong Yunhe was so scared that his hands were shaking and his lips were pale.
how so?
This is impossible!
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was only slightly stronger.
As long as I stick to my principles, they won't be able to do anything to me.
This time the city gate couldn’t even be closed for half an hour?
Is this really the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?
Zhong Yunhe thought about surrendering.
But when I think about the bad things I have done in the past few years.
I’m afraid even lighting a sky lantern would be too easy.
Upon hearing this, the pseudo-army commander Zhong Yunhe slapped the other party in the face.
"Bullshit! The city is lost, do you think the Imperial Army will let us go?"
He pulled out the box from his waist and shouted:
"Brothers, the Imperial Army will be here soon with reinforcements. We must hold on. If we surrender to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, we will die when the Imperial Army comes and fires at us."
"Brothers, hold on!"
" Don't you forget what you have done? If you surrender, do you think the other party will let you go? If you don't want to die, hold on!"
Some puppet soldiers who usually do evil were shocked after being scolded and reminded by their superiors.
On ordinary days, the bad things they did following Zhong Yunhe were too numerous to list.
If you surrender.
I am afraid that in order to stabilize Linzhai Town as soon as possible, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army will use their own lives to appease the people.
Chen Li shouted: "Fight with them!"
Under the leadership of Zhong Yunhe, the guard platoon strengthened its determination to resist.
After the city gate was lost, they occupied the high point at the street entrance, set up machine guns on the roof, and fought to the death.
The firepower of the blocking suddenly became fierce, and several consecutive charges organized by Shi Song were repelled, leaving behind the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers.
Ma Jin, the squad leader of the battalion's direct guard squad, shouted, "Sir, the 2nd Battalion has begun the attack. They are advancing very quickly. They are about to enter the city!"
"What?" Shi Song heard and shouted anxiously. "No. We can't let the 2nd Battalion get ahead. That way, our 5th Battalion will still have face. Ask the mortar platoon to send a squad over. Damn it, blow these beasts to death!"
When Shen Quan heard this, he hurriedly stopped them and said, "No, there are civilians here. If we use mortars, we will accidentally injure them. Let me lead some people to get through and kill them from the rear!"
Shi Song cursed angrily. "Damn it, these puppet soldiers are nothing. Shen Quan, quickly take your men and kill these bastards for me. We must get rid of these beasts before the 2nd Battalion rushes in. It's too late. I'll hold you accountable!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Shen Quan led the people of the Big Knife Team, relying on the sound of gunfire and observation, and led them to sneak around in the slums like rats.
Soon they ran to the side of the puppet army's machine gun position.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
As the gunshots continued, bursts of howling were heard in the yard.
"Commander, it's bad. The enemy is attacking us from behind!" the puppet soldier cried.
"What? Hurry up, hold on!" Zhong Yunhe shouted anxiously.
Pulling out a grenade from his waist, Shen Quan threw it onto the roof with all his might.
On the roof, Zhong Yunhe, who was yelling at his men to resist, saw the grenade falling from the sky. His pupils dilated and sweat broke out on his forehead in fear.
"Grenade! Quick! Quick! Throw it out!"
They were usually afraid of Zhong Yunhe, but at this time, the puppet soldiers were so scared that they didn't take his words as orders.
The puppet soldier immediately dropped his gun and jumped off the roof.
Zhong Yunhe was so frightened that his legs became weak. He saw his men scared him and ran away.
He then reacted and wanted to escape.
But because he was used to a life of luxury, he became fat and his reactions became slow.
boom!
The grenade exploded, and Zhong Yunhe was pushed by the blast and fell directly against the wall.
There were more than a dozen shrapnel sticking out of his body, and broken internal organs were spewing out of his mouth. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes wide and died with a look of unwillingness on his face.
"rush!"
After the explosion, Shen Quan rushed forward with the charge gun.
Bang bang…
After a burst of shooting, the remaining puppet soldiers were eliminated.
The rooftop returned to calm.
Shen Quan shouted, making sure all the enemies were dead .
"Let's go! To the next one!"
“Follow me!”
