Two hundred and forty-eighth chapter fire and (thirteen)
This time, the Japanese army dispatched four squadrons, but only the fifth squadrons to which the Second Battalion belonged, were assigned to attack the No. 76 headquarters. The squadron leader was named Ono. He was born in Gunma Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. According to him, his mother was from Nara.
The 85th Regiment was a newly reorganized unit when the Japanese army expanded its troops in 1938. Its organization was Wakamatsu City, Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture. It was earlier the fiefdom of the famous general of the Warring States Period, Pusheng Township. The Tsuruma, which has seven layers of Tianshou, is famous throughout Japan (due to the Meiji period, Japan demolished the clan castles from all over the country, and only a few ancient cities were preserved by the locals, and Tsuruma was one of them.).
During the Makumoto-Wuchen War, Aizu sect, a group of shogunate families, started a fierce siege battle with Emperor Meiji's new government troops. After the victory of the Nagashu sect, due to heavy losses in the army, in order to retaliate against the defeated party, he ordered the locals to bury their families who died in battle and leave them in the wild and let them be swallowed by birds and beasts. The body was exposed for half a year. Therefore, the Aizu people have formed an insolvent hatred with the Nagashu sect since then. This hatred has even lasted for more than a hundred years. By the end of the 20th century, the Aizu Wakamatsu people still refused to stay with the Yamaguchi Prefecture people, and local taxis would also refuse to carry guests from Kagoshima and Yamaguchi Prefecture.
This is also the reason why the Japanese Army has never formed the Aizu corps after two Meiji Taisho dynasties. Most of the senior officers of the Japanese Army were from the Choshu clan. How could they sit down and watch the descendants of these "rebels" who were hostile to Chateau turn over on their territory?
In the past, all soldiers from Aizu in the Japanese army were dispatched to serve in the most dangerous or most promising positions, and it was extremely difficult to get a chance to be promoted. Although the Changzhou vassal in the army was not as strong as in the early years, it still had huge connections and influence. As a result, the 85th Regiment was always treated as a second-line garrison by superiors and did not give them any chance to win military achievements.
In history, after receiving the corps flag in July 2018, the corps was transferred to mainland China the next month and took on the task of defending Hangzhou City. As a result, this corps defense in Hangzhou lasted for six years. It was not until 1944 that the Japanese army gradually declined in the Pacific War Zone and the troops in South China were seriously insufficient, so the superiors had no choice but to transfer the troops to the front line of combat to participate in the "No. 1 Battle" aimed at opening up the mainland's transportation line.
The task of clearing No. 76 this time was not regarded as a bad person by the top leaders, but was regarded as a trouble by them. Because it involved confidentiality, if this battle was fought well, it would not be possible to publicize and report the merits to the outside world. On the contrary, if there was a mistake, it would definitely become a scapegoat for the superiors. Therefore, when Tian submitted his action plan, the Army General Staff agreed to his request for troops without thinking.
The 85th Regiment also knew the role he played this time, and these Aizu soldiers had long recognized their situation. They could only vent their resentment on the targets.
The Fifth Squadron broke into the yard from the side door of No. 76, and was located on the west side of the garden. On the right side of the entrance was a large auditorium full of Wang Puppet Spy.
At this time, the cannon sounds had just dropped from the main gate, and there was a loud gunshot in front of the second gate. The military police stationed in No. 76 had almost a small team, with a standard light infantry configuration and no heavy weapons. However, because of their profession, each military police held a southern pistol and had a certain close-range combat firepower. When the Fifth Squadron rushed into the backyard, the Japanese military police had driven the Wang Puppet spies and guards in the front yard to the office area on the east side, and firmly controlled the second gate.
The Fifth Squadron finally had a practical opportunity, how could he dare to waste it easily? Before the spies in the auditorium had thought about the taste, the outside of the auditorium was surrounded by Japanese soldiers from three sides.
"I'm dazed!" Lieutenant Ono pointed at the main entrance of the auditorium with a saber in his hand, and then several grenades shot into the glass window next to the door.
"Dai Ni Xiao Dai, Xiu Ge, give it to you! (Second Team 2, shooting!)" Acting team leader Damu Cao Chang, waved the Nine Five Saber in his hand, jumped and shouted excitedly.
The eleventh-type light machine gun was erected, and soon the unique point-firing sound of this machine gun echoed in the air. The second team was equipped with three eleventh-type machine guns, twenty-four rifles and two grenade launchers. Although the firepower was not as top in the world, it was quite fierce in this era.
The infantry organization and firepower configuration of the Japanese Army were completely learned from the German army, but it was just the standard used by the German army more than ten years ago. If we only talk about the organization of light weapons, there seems to be no obvious weakness between the Japanese army and the conventional German troops. Of course, if we compare the performance and firepower delivery capabilities of both sides, then the Japanese side has completely lagged behind the German army at this time.
The exterior wall of the auditorium is just a conventional brick and wood structure, and there is no defense in front of Japanese standard weapons. The 6.5 mm-caliber Arisaka bullet has extremely strong penetration ability, and the thickness of this brick wall is less than 40 centimeters.
At this time, bullets flew everywhere in the auditorium, and the spies sitting on the seats on the edge had already been killed and injured. Most of them did not understand what was going on until their deaths. Many stubborn people, whose hands were covered with blood from innocent people, fell in their own stinky pool of blood this time.
Some people wanted to escape from the exit, but stood and moved their bodies, becoming the best target in the eyes of the Japanese army outside the window. The dead bodies quickly piled up along the middle aisle. Some nimble spies treated their colleagues' bodies as bunkers and hugged their heads and lay behind the pile of corpses. As a result, the remaining people followed suit. The survivors used the dead bodies as shields and lie in a circle in the middle of the auditorium.
Some guys who were brave and brave tried to break out with weapons. Until then, no one noticed the identity of the attacker. The spies thought they were Chongqing agents lurking into Shanghai. They didn't know that they had eaten Xiong Xinbao's courage and dared to go to the headquarters No. 76 to play wild.
They had no idea that a premeditated massacre had just begun, and now they were only encountering an appetizer.
