War of Resistance

Chapter 231 Nanjing Breakout Battle ([-])
Zhou Fangjie couldn't feel Suzuki Xingyi's anger. He asked people to line up the corpses of these Japanese soldiers, but he just wanted to add some embarrassment to the little devils and demonstrate.

It's just that I didn't expect that this directly made the commander of the Japanese army burst into anger.

It has to be said that the emotion of anger is a good thing when it is used well, but now Suzuki Xingyi's state looks like he wants something bad.

He had to bite the breakout Chinese army to avenge this, but he subconsciously thought that the breakout Chinese army just wanted to humiliate them before leaving Nanjing.

What he never expected was that this daring Chinese army dared to provoke them again and again before leaving, and even dared to set up an ambush to ambush them.

There is a price to pay for arrogance, especially when the opponent is a commander with rich combat experience and all the troops are well-equipped veterans, Suzuki Xingyi is out of luck...

Just when he noticed that there seemed to be some movement on the foothills in front of him, but the anger was already filling his heart, the battle started.

To be precise, it was fired. Five light machine guns and many rifles rang out, and the dense gunfire rang through the entire col.

"Suddenly..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In the dark night, bullets with scorching high temperatures drew shining curves in the night sky, like the brilliance of a meteor shower, but beautiful but full of murderous intent.

The bullets either hit the Japanese soldiers, or hit the steel armor, making a "ding" sound, and then burst into sparks.

The Japanese soldiers sitting in armored vehicles and trucks were fine, protected by armor, and were not directly hit by the hail of bullets, so they were fine.

But the Japanese soldiers on motorcycles and those who advanced by running were miserable, screaming again and again, especially the Japanese soldiers in front, some were directly beaten into sieves, and died without even screaming.

However, the Japanese soldiers sitting in the armored vehicles and trucks did not take long to be proud, and one after another the smoking grenades were thrown to the bottom of the armored vehicles and trucks.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The sound of explosions was deafening, the grenade detonated the truck and the armored vehicle, and the fuel tank on the vehicle caused a second explosion. Blossoming flowers bursting with shining and death breath bloomed on this road. Many Japanese soldiers even He was blown up in the car before getting out of the car in time, causing heavy casualties.

The shock wave of the explosion overturned the Japanese soldiers hiding near the cars and armored vehicles, and there were countless wailings for a while.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion did not intend to hold back these vicious invaders. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to themselves. These officers and soldiers managed to escape from the Japanese aircraft and artillery with great difficulty. This opportunity to take revenge, why should he be merciful?

The sudden blow by the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion immediately caused more than half of the Japanese troops to be killed or injured. The rest of the Japanese troops just wanted to run out of the two sides to find cover and shoot again, but they found out in despair that there were Chinese soldiers on both sides of the road. The officers and soldiers of the army.

The bullets penetrated their bodies, and then hit the muddy ground underground without stopping.

Blood stained the loess ground red, Suzuki Xingyi's entire army was annihilated.

The battle lasted less than 5 minutes and ended with the victory of the officers and soldiers of the Temporary Second Battalion of the Penetration Regiment.

Regardless of whether there were any remaining explosions, Zhou Fangjie immediately commanded the troops to collect the firearms and ammunition that could be collected, and then left. If these guns and bullets are enough, they can be distributed to those of the temporary first battalion. Brothers who lost their guns.

Although the 1924th cover of the Japanese army is not as good as the German-made [-] rifle equipped by the German armorers of the national army, it is still a rifle anyway. It is better than holding a fire stick or a big knife, right?

Compared with the bad behavior of placing the corpses of the Japanese soldiers last time, Zhou Fangjie's behavior this time was much more friendly. He just searched away such good things as weapons, ammunition and grenades.

It's not because his personal taste has become noble, but because it's too late. Since the Japanese army has sent so many troops to pursue their army, this spirit can be described as perseverance.

There was a fierce pursuit in the siege and interception, so the interception must be ahead. Although the route chosen by the regiment leader Zhang could avoid the main force of the Japanese army to a certain extent, small groups of troops could not avoid it.

Besides, two groups of Japanese troops in a row were annihilated under their ambushes. The total number of these two groups of Japanese troops was no less than 500. Zhou Fangjie judged that this was most likely a Japanese army that had more than half of its casualties in the siege battle. brigade.

Since the vanguard of the Japanese pursuit force was already a brigade, and the pursuit force was at least a regiment, Zhou Fangjie didn't dare to stay here too much, and hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat.

Zhang Tianhai and others also heard the gunshots and explosions behind them, but Zhang Tianhai ignored them and just let the troops advance faster.

"Sir, the sound of the guns behind is so loud, don't you really need to go and see?" Xiao Peiguang asked after catching up with Zhang Tianhai.

I saw Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said, "No, there's no need to read it. I don't want to know, the target we want to break out of now must have been exposed, and the only thing we have to go is to tear a hole from the Japanese blockade more quickly. Then break out from this opening. We can't let the brothers behind die in vain."

"I understand." Xiao Peiguang responded.

It’s just that after Zhang Tianhai thought about it, he felt that it was a bit wrong for him to do this. He just blindly broke through. If the situation later became serious, that would not work, so he said, “By the way, Company Commander Xiao, send two people to look at it. See what happens next, and report to me at any time.”

"Yes." Xiao Peiguang replied, then randomly picked two people from the team behind him, and gave Zhang Tianhai's order.

At this time, Zhang Tianhai had already led the leading troops to the other side of the mountain along this path. Because of the mountain road, the infantry troops were moving faster than the chariot company.

Since it was pitch black at this time, basically wherever the Japanese army occupied, there would be lights, so Zhang Tianhai was not worried about bumping into the Japanese army's position for the time being.

The battle that Zhou Fangjie commanded just now was not only heard by Zhang Tianhai and others.

There is also Takahashi Masaobu, the commander of the 104th Regiment of the Japanese Army, and his subordinates. Hearing the intense sound of gunfire, Masao Takahashi was not in a general hurry. It was precisely because the Second Battalion was attacking the periphery of Jiangyin Fortress. The losses in the position were too heavy, so he put the second brigade in Tongji Gate to be responsible for defense.

He thought that there were troops from the national army who dared to break through from this direction, but he was very anxious. After all, the commander, General Matsui Iwane, could say that he wanted to surround and annihilate this army in Nanjing and occupy it with the attitude of an absolute victor. Nanjing, to make an emergency landing on the Nanjing government of China.

Thinking of the credit for forcing the government of a big country to surrender, Takahashi Masaobu couldn't help but get excited. He must not let this Chinese army break through the siege, otherwise his credit will be halved, so he hastily sent the first soldier with more than half the casualties The second brigade will also be dispatched to chase after them.

Before Takahashi Masaobu set off from the city, he did not forget to report the matter to Lieutenant General Dizhou Libing, the division commander, and he must take this credit!
However, the ideal is often beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When the battle ended 10 minutes later, Takahashi Masaobu finally led his troops to the battle site.

After arriving at the scene, he was stunned. The cruel reality of the entire army being wiped out told Masao Takahashi that it seemed that it would not be so easy to catch up with this breakout force...
