Chapter 021 Fighting the Iron Heart Bridge (3)
(The second update is given~~~~~~)
After learning from his mistakes, Kawashima stopped the order to attack again after hearing the adjutant's suggestion.
"Be your best, this small hill front seems to be solid now. We are now moving too fast, and the heavy artillery troops behind us have not yet followed, so it will be impossible to take down the small hill for a while." said the adjutant.
When the two discussed, the five mountain cannons that followed the team did not stop bombing the hill position, but the hill position was as solid as the adjutant said. Apart from the smoke and dust and sand flying all over the sky, there were no major casualties in the entire ** garrison battalion.
At this time, a Japanese soldier had already taken out a map and spread it in front of Kawashima and his adjutant. Then the adjutant pointed to the map and said, "This is a small hill, and the front three or four kilometers is the Iron Heart Bridge. Our mission is to occupy the Iron Heart Bridge within today. However, the enemy's small hill position is blocking our footsteps. Can I take a detour and attack the Iron Heart Bridge directly, and then take a foothold and turn to encircle the small hill front. Isn't this place easy to capture at that time?"
"A detour? Yoxi, Captain Inoue is a good plan, but we cannot relax our attacks here in Koh Hill. If the enemy thinks that we will attack Tiexin Bridge, we will definitely return to help, so I decided to bring the troops of the two squadrons' reserves, and then you personally direct the sneak attack Tiexin Bridge. Here I am responsible for dragging the enemy troops on Koh Hill!"
“Hay~”
Captain Inoue is a master of China and is familiar with Sun Tzu's art of war, so he is a good at attacking and fighting. Inoue has always been a big and small battle in Kawashima.
After receiving the order, Inoue immediately transferred the forces of two reserve squadrons from the rear of the army. Although these soldiers were all reserve squadrons, if they were really good at killing and gunning, they would not be inferior to the ** soldiers.
Kawashima's troops disturbed him for a long time, and then finally arrived at the Iron Heart Bridge according to the map instructions. However, Inoue never expected that the person who was stationed in Iron Heart Bridge was also a powerful general.
Scouts early on reported the information about the Japanese detour attack on Tiexin Bridge to Wang Qishan, and Wang Qishan was prepared for this.
The location of Tiexin Bridge is very special. One-third of the surrounding areas are wetlands, and there are a large number of swamps distributed inside. Therefore, if you want to directly reach Tiexin Bridge, there is only one big road that can be feasible. When Kawashima came to Tiexin Bridge for several hundred meters, he discovered this situation.
The so-called main road is actually a mudstone road that can parallel two cars. When facing fully armed Japanese soldiers four or five hundred meters, it becomes a small road.
Inoue was very cautious and did not rashly send troops to attack Tiexin Bridge. He just ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then used the mortars he carried around to tentatively fire a few shells on Tiexin Bridge.
After the shells, the Tiexin Bridge position did not react at all. Inoue was even more puzzled at this time. He was still determined to line up a small group of soldiers to test it again, but seeing that it was getting late, there was no extra time to allow Inoue to be cautious.
"Open the way~" At Inoue's order, four or five hundred Japanese soldiers advanced in four columns and four batches.
The first team of Japanese soldiers had just advanced more than 200 meters, and hundreds of shadows of steel helmets appeared in the trenches around the Iron Heart Bridge.
Before we could think about it, the two sides immediately exchanged fire, and countless bullet bursts of sounds came out. ** was prepared and the trench was very deep, and a temporary victory was achieved in the first battle between the two sides.
Seeing that the first team of soldiers was about to be wiped out, Inoue felt a little panicked. He originally thought that if ** could hold the hill, the location of the Iron Heart Bridge must be empty, but I thought that this place was also an iron barrel array.
The arrow was on the string and could not watch the soldiers sacrifice in vain. So Inoue took a gamble and thought that maybe ** was only this ability, and he could capture the Iron Heart Bridge by exerting his own strength.
So, Inoue pulled out his sabre and shouted loudly: "Kill it~~~~"
As soon as the charge order was issued, there were even swords and seas of fire in front of him. Four hundred soldiers and four hundred lives rushed towards the front position of Wang Tiexin Bridge.
As soon as the Japanese army exerted its strength, Wang Qishan was a little unable to withstand it. In addition, there was no drill for the trenches, so the role of the trenches was not fully utilized.
For a moment, many ** soldiers in the front trench lost their lives, but Wang Qishan did not lose at this time because he still had only hope.
"Brothers, beat me hard~~~ When the Japanese are defeated, I will invite everyone to drink and eat meat!" Wang Qishan shouted loudly, and raised his hand and shot him.
The commander set an example, and the soldiers around him could not work hard, and the firepower that had been suppressed was restored for a while. Maxine, Czech and other weapons made by all nations burst out with the fire they should have. In a blink of an eye, Wang Qishan and Inoue were evenly matched.
However, as time went by, Wang Qishan's morale was slowly pulled down by the Japanese army's excellent equipment and individual combat capabilities. Soon, after more than ten minutes of fire between the two sides, more than 300 soldiers on the front battlefield of Wang Qishan lost most of them.
Of course, more than a hundred people in Inoue's team died. While rushing hard, they defended desperately. The gun and shield were finally won.
The Japanese who rushed in the front were now in the trench less than ten meters. Wang Qishan's mirror box fired a box of bullets and shouted again: "Brothers, get the bayonet and fight with the Japanese!"
As soon as the scream fell, the remaining hundreds of soldiers immediately pulled out their daggers and stuck them on the gun barrel, and then followed Wang Qishan to the position and rushed towards the position.
At this moment, Wang Qishan heard dense gunfire from behind the Japanese team in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese who had no time to turn around were hit to the end.
Seeing that the encirclement was completed, Wang Qishan finally breathed a sigh of relief and then shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived. Brothers, please follow me to kill!"
"Bang~"
Before Wang Qishan could hear his voice far, he saw a blood-red mark appearing on his chest. Then a cold feeling came from his back, which instantly crawled onto his head...
Wang Qishan opened his mouth and saw the Japanese devil who fired a cold gun in the distance, then fell to the position with anger, regret, and helplessness.
...
The battle at the Tiexin Bridge had just begun, and Yang Yiming heard it.
"Liu Huayun!" Yang Yiming shouted!
"Oh~"
"Iron Heart Bridge is in danger. You can lead two platoons of troops to reinforce immediately. Do not do it recklessly!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Liu Huayun immediately dispatched thirty people to follow him to the location of Tiexin Bridge. Liu Huayun from afar saw the location of Tiexin Bridge filled with smoke and shouts of killing. In this situation, Liu Huayu and dozens of people below accelerated their pace.
All the Japanese troops were put into Wang Qishan's front battlefield, and there was no prevention at all for Liu Huayun behind. Therefore, the twenty or thirty Japanese who rushed behind lost their lives in an instant.
Seeing that Wang Qishan's team in front had already started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese, Liu Huayun immediately ordered the removal of the bayonet.
The Japanese were attacked from both sides, and in the blink of an eye, the remaining hundreds of people were all lost. Inoue was unwilling to accept it because it had only been less than half a year since he arrived at the so-called China. He knew that this country was beautiful, mysterious, and longed for, but Inoue could only taste these things slowly in hell.
