Volume 1 Chapter 035 Bloody Battle (Part 1)
Shen Quan pounced forward like a tiger descending from the mountain and rushed into the middle of the Japanese army.
Of course, the Japanese army couldn't understand what Shen Quan was shouting.
But you don't need to understand it.
Because many Japanese soldiers no longer had the chance to understand.
Holding a big knife in his hand, Shen Quan roared and pounced forward, and without saying a word, he made an extremely sharp slash!
Just a diagonal slash made the Japanese retreat two steps and almost lose their balance.
Shen Quan rushed forward and made a backhand cut.
He split the devil's head in half from the left chin to the right eye!
Kill this, Shen Quan roared.
I saw a comrade being stabbed in the chest by a Japanese bayonet.
He rushed forward in two steps and chopped with his sword.
He hit the back of the devil's head hard, and the blade swept past.
Half of the head flew four or five meters away.
The big knife in his hand opened and closed violently, the Japanese soldiers screamed continuously, and two of them fell down at once.
Shen Quan continued to kill the Japanese with a big knife.
Seeing him kill two devils in a blink of an eye, both the Japanese and Shanxi Suiyuan Army soldiers were shocked.
Killing puppet soldiers is nothing.
However, it was only when they actually fought against the Japanese that Shi Song and the others realized the good intentions of the regiment commander Chu Yunfei in forming the big knife team.
You must know that in the past bayonet fighting, neither the Central Army nor the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had an advantage.
It takes three or five people to kill one devil.
The general is the courage of the soldiers!
Hundreds of sword-wielding troops followed Shen Quan and pounded into the Japanese formation like hammers.
The bravery of Shen Quan and the heroism of the broadsword team inspired all the soldiers of the 5th Battalion.
The soldiers of the 5th Battalion roared.
“Kill!”
They rushed forward with their rifles fixed with bayonets!
The Japanese army's bullets flew in strings, and people were shot and fell down continuously. Those who fell fell down, and those who did not fall down gritted their teeth and rushed forward, colliding fiercely with the Japanese army.
Now both sides are engaged in a melee and no one dares to use machine guns.
Maybe he just fired a shot and didn't kill the enemy.
The enemy's bayonet had already pierced his heart.
The two sides engaged in a very brutal hand-to-hand combat.
It was almost noon and the sun was high in the sky.
The early spring sunshine feels warm on people's bodies. It is a good time to bask in the sun and nourish your body.
But at the foot of an unknown mountain, the air was filled with a strong, unremovable smell of blood.
The crisp sound of bayonets piercing flesh, the crisp sound of gun butts smashing bones, and the occasional roars and curses that broke out resounded throughout the mountains.
Shi Song fired continuously with a box gun and killed two enemies.
But he couldn't be happy at all now.
The Japanese soldiers were physically strong and their bayonet skills were more brutal than those of the 5th Battalion.
Not to mention that they have a battalion of thousands of soldiers and have an absolute advantage.
The casualties of the 5th Battalion gradually increased.
Shi Song became more and more anxious!
In less than half a day, more than 150 brothers were killed.
If the fighting continues, all the men in the 5th Battalion will be killed.
Shi Song shouted, "Artillery! Fire now and blow these sons of bitches to death!"
There were only a few dozen shells left, but there was no time to worry about that at this point.
Let’s repel the enemy first!
The artillery platoon had already adjusted the firing angle, with the muzzles pointed at the Japanese rear formation.
As soon as the order to fire was received, a series of commands were immediately heard from the artillery position.
Soon, a test shell flew out of the barrel.
After a test firing, there was an immediate wave of commands to adjust data at each artillery position, and then the salvo fire began.
The remaining shells were fired all at once.
There were 10 mortars, and each one basically fired two rounds. Only a few fired three rounds.
After a test-fired shell exploded at the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's artillery position, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda immediately realized that something was wrong.
When he first saw the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army being bombarded, they did not fight back, thinking that the other side had no artillery.
But I didn't expect that these guys could hold their ground until now.
He saw his soldiers being bombarded, with groups of Japanese being blown away and torn to pieces by shells, with their body parts and blood scattered on the yellow earth.
The corners of his eyes are about to burst!
Suddenly they were bombarded by the enemy, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the artillery fire.
Major Sato saw that the situation was not good. If the fight continued, the whole team would be killed here.
He shouted repeatedly: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed in the explosion also knew that this had become the most dangerous place, so they quickly fled.
Major Sato led his men to retreat quickly, and the 5th Battalion did not dare to catch up, otherwise they would be hit by enemy artillery fire.
They quickly retreated back to their positions and hid in the tunnels.
Sure enough, just as the Japs were retreating.
The Japanese artillery positions immediately launched a counterattack.
Fortunately, the 5th Battalion had used up all its remaining shells. The artillery platoon dismantled the mortars, picked them up and ran away.
All the Japanese artillery shells fired in counterattack were wasted.
Seeing that his troops were defeated by the enemy, he retreated.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He had a gloomy face and didn't wait for Major Sato to speak.
He just started pumping violently.
Every slap leaves a mark.
Major Sato's face was swollen from the beating.
Although I know that the main fault for this defeat is not Major Sato's responsibility.
But Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda didn't care about that.
He was in a bad mood and just wanted to find someone to vent to.
As a subordinate, getting beaten is what you should expect.
Does he dare to retort?
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda was smoking while cursing, "Baka! You have tarnished the glory of our Imperial Japanese Army. We actually lost to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. What a shame!"
Being beaten severely by Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda, Major Sato did not dare to dodge and could only endure it silently.
When the lieutenant colonel got tired of pumping, Major Sato stood at attention and shouted, "Please give me another chance, Lieutenant Colonel. I will definitely take down the Chinese position!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda said viciously: "I'll give you one more chance. After preparing your firepower, launch another attack. If you can't take it this time, you will commit suicide!"
Major Sato bowed his head and said, "Hey! I will not let down the lieutenant colonel's trust and will wipe out all those damn Chinese soldiers!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda snorted coldly: "Prepare to attack!"
The muzzles of the four mortars were readjusted.
The previous attack was repelled by enemy artillery fire, and the Japanese were very angry.
It is a shame that the mighty Imperial Japanese Army was defeated by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The shame of Kuroda Battalion can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda drew his officer's sword and shouted, "Attack!"
The Japanese artillery shells poured down mercilessly on the positions of Camp 5 , boom boom...
The continuous explosions almost overturned the yellow soil of the 5th Battalion.
Even with the protection of the tunnels, many soldiers of the 5th Battalion were still killed directly by the explosion.
After nearly 3 minutes of shelling , the Japanese were about to attack us.
Shi Song and his men who were hiding in the tunnel were all feeling anxious.
There were less than 300 people left in the 5th Battalion.
Now the shells have been used up, and I'm afraid the 5th Battalion will be destroyed here.
Ishimatsu made a decision.
He shouted, "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu!"
