Chapter 267 Poison bait

(...When we fight with the Japanese, there are also many times when the entire army is defeated. The defeated Japanese completely lose their combat awareness and become the targets of hunting along the way. At this time, as long as veterans who pass by bloody battles like Shanghai and Nanjing will secretly let their brothers not keep their captives and kill them all... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

A great victory ahead! Cao Xiaomin was very excited after receiving the battle report from Li Tianhao. Unlike any previous victory, the commanders on all fronts of this battle were all his elder brothers. This was a new generation of generals who grew up in the war. This victory was also a victory of active attack. Although it was still a retreat tactical method and a defensive counterattack. However, the depth of the march overnight, the attack on each target, the adaptability measures taken by different enemy troops encountered in the battle, etc., all show that the performance of the *** troops and the beginning of the war in Shanghai has improved rapidly.

The sound of cannons was rumbling. Cao Xiaomin was not far from the battlefield, or it was on the battlefield itself. Cao Xiaomin's troops were on the west bank of Gaoyou Lake. Looking across the lake, you could see the fire clouds fighting in the distant sky. Now he was eager to try to join the battle group!

Due to the successful attack overnight, this sudden counterattack that seemed to have made up tens of thousands of troops out of nothing (the 99th Division is actually more than one army in the number of troops) caused the entire rear of the Sixth Division to collapse; the dispersed Japanese soldiers did not see the attack on the *** and retreat, they watched Shui Qing retreat!

Because of fear of being divided and surrounded, and being trapped in the water and slowly losing support, the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division who were fighting received an order in the second half of the night: they found that they might be blocked by the water level and retreated and contracted the defense line. With this order, the defense troops of the 6th Division, which had already stabilized their positions, suddenly became in chaos: almost no unit had seen the water flow rushing in, and the water level in the fields under the feet of almost every unit was rising!

The chaos of the Great Retreat was caused by the Japanese themselves, because there were not many roads passing without water. In addition, the rain began to rain again in the past two days, and the ground was very muddy. Almost all the Japanese troops were robbing the road, and a large number of officers and soldiers were squeezed into the paddy fields during the robbery. Most of these officers and soldiers were replenishing troops, and they were not as familiar as the old troops before, and there was no feeling of feeding them with blood. Therefore, the action of fighting for the road was constantly escalating, and there were often team-level fights. Although it was not yet at the level of fighting, the Japanese were unable to transport the supplies in their hands to Gaoyou. Various supplies were thrown on both sides of the paddy fields along the road, and the withdrawal along the route looked like a garbage dump.

"Quick! Fly the machine gun!" On the edge of a small river, two small grasshopper boats were carrying a heavy machine gun and leaning on the shore quickly. Several soldiers on one boat jumped to the shore and the cold river water, racing against time to remove the machine guns and bullets from the other boat to prepare for the Japanese who were not far away on the side.

Oops! It was discovered! Several soldiers and the Japanese on the other side met...

"The *** people are here, retreat quickly!" A panic noise sounded. To the expectations of the *** machine gun team here, the Japanese on the opposite side did not set up a machine gun to counterattack, and even the riflemen did not fire. The Japanese who saw the *** were just diving into the crowd and jumped through the team and jumped into the paddy field next to the other road and fled to the distance without any life!

The defeated soldiers are often like stray dogs, regardless of nationality. When the well-trained Japanese troops are defeated and are scared by the rising water around them and lose their sense of combat, they are no different from most of the people who have retreated on the battlefield of Songhu. The Japanese even disappeared their consciousness of resistance, and they only know how to escape!

"Tengteng!..." Min Ersi began to roar. The rainy and foggy weather was so humid that it could clearly see a whole hot fire chain sweeping across the Japanese retreating team, and sweeping away the already chaotic queue like mowing grass!

"Eleventh o'clock in front of it!...Okay, firepower extends!" With the command of the machine gun squad leader, the machine gunner kept adjusting the direction and shooting desperately, his hands were numb and still clasped the hair tightly. The machine gunner's eyes were white, and he could only see the muzzle flames that were still dazzling in broad daylight and the low-quality canvas chains blocked in front of him were stimulated by the bullets. As for the enemy, he could no longer see them and completely obeyed the command of the squad leader and was shooting.

The performance of the water-cooled civilian 24 was at its peak without fighting back. The heavy machine gun that could fire for four hours continuously without stopping, and the ammunition was constantly lifting out of the ammunition box from the grasshopper boat... "Squad leader! The last five ammunition chains..." As the soldiers shouted, the commander of the machine gun team, their machine gun squad leader, actually gave an order that surprised the soldiers: carry the grasshopper boat from the river to the paddy fields, and set up a machine gun charge!

"When we retreated in Shanghai, we were fired by the enemy behind us. No one dared to turn around and fight back. We ran away desperately. Bullets were flying behind us. Our company could escape to less than one squad behind us. Before we could breathe, the Japanese caught up again. Everyone still knew how to escape... In fact, I turned around and looked at it. There were only four people chasing, carrying a machine gun..." The squad leader was not excited because of the scene that was almost massacre in front of us, but instead had tears in his eyes and said in a heavy tone: "That was a dog that was knocked down from the water. New recruits were the most likely to make such mistakes. You all remember it for me! The Japanese in front of us are a group of new recruits. I chased me and fired them all, then picked up the enemy's machine guns and continued to shoot them. As long as there is one person we can run, chase me, don't capture them, and leave no survivors!"

It is the first and last order, which is to chase and fight until you can't move or encounter an old Japanese soldier who is not panicked and is knocked down!

"Run! Kill!" A heavy machine gun team and a whole squad of *** officers and soldiers put the machine gun on the grasshopper boat, pushed the boat to charge in the paddy fields, and shot while running and splashing water splashed around the hull, making the grasshopper boat look like it can fly!

"Crash! Kill! Kill the Japanese!" On the entire battlefield, Chinese officers and soldiers were chasing the Japanese who were defeated. The backbone of this army was the most violent Shanghai and Nanjing veterans. Almost every squad leader emphasized the need to keep prisoners like the squad leader of the machine gun team. The officers and soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, killed and even tortured the Japanese soldiers who were not used to extreme blood on the battlefield where they could not see the edge!

This scene made the pilots on the Japanese reconnaissance plane who were adventuring were stunned: the entire battlefield was filled with scattered battle groups for dozens of square kilometers, and there were *** soldiers like mud ducks chasing or retreating along better roads. Each retreat was densely packed with ignorant soldiers. The paddy fields on both sides were stained with blood and dark red, and you can see them on the plane!

"How could this happen? The stupid pigs of the Sixth Division lost all the face of the Great Imperial Army!" Yasuhata, who was immersed in his longing for future results, was furious at this moment. The battle situation did not slowly shine the blood of the 6th Division as he expected, and the corpses of the Chinese were covered with Chinese people along the way. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division were left with corpses on the vast land from Yangzhou to Gaoyou; now Yasuhatata began to feel a chilling air on its back: Don't really let the *** wipe out the Sixth Division!

In front of him was Tanishou who had just got off the plane. He was originally transferred back to the country to enter the reserve due to the international impact caused by the Nanjing Massacre, and was able to return to the army due to the deterioration of the war. This time, Tanishou was under great pressure, especially many accusations from the military, because after the massacre in Nanjing, he was complacent and organized a group of veterans who participated in the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War to observe, but was scolded by a group of old men. After returning to China, Tanishou not only became a scapegoat for all the atrocities of the Japanese army, but also was criticized by thousands of people because of the huge war damage caused by the Sixth Division in Nanjing.

Being able to return to the army and return to the Sixth Division was the result that Tanisuo dreamed of, and this result was achieved due to the difficulties of the Japanese front line. Now Tanisuo was insulted by Yanbata in person as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, and scolded the Sixth Division fiercely in front of him, which made him feel helpless and angry.

"Mr. Commander! I think the reason why the 6th Division is in trouble is also related to the uncertainty of the troops' overall plan for the base camp. If there is a person who understands the overall plan of the base camp and knows the situation of the division at this time, he can definitely stabilize the situation!" Tanisuo stared at Yanbata. His meaning was obviously to be dissatisfied with the strategy of deliberately concealing the latter from the 6th Division and making the 6th Division look more like a piece of fat that can be swallowed when acting as bait. Although his return just now was not convenient to be too tough with the commander, he had his own counterattack method - let him return to the 6th Division to command and let him turn the world around.

Yanbata Ryuki also understood what Tanisuo meant, and at the same time he also felt that letting Tanisuo go to the Sixth Division was a good move: he was preparing to promote Tanisuo's return, so that *** could do his best to encircle and suppress the initiator of the beast army; of course, he also believed that Tanisuo's return could stabilize the situation and better nail it to suck the main force of the ***, so he agreed to Tanisuo's request.
