march to victory

Koizumi Jiro was a commander in the Japanese army.

In the two years since he joined the army, he has gone through several battles. He fought bravely and was not injured at all. Interestingly, it is precisely because he was not injured at all that people thought he was afraid of death. But slowly like a snail crawling.No, he was Cao Chang a year ago, and he is still Cao Chang now.

When he heard the propaganda, he thought it would be easy to defeat China.Later, after serving as a soldier, seeing that his own weapons were indeed better than those of China, he was even more confident in the fallacy of "destroying China in three months".And since the invasion of China, he has indeed basically won the war, so he has no doubts about occupying the entire territory of China.

However, since the July [-]th Incident and the full-scale invasion of China, he has gradually become suspicious of this belief: Although the Japanese army won the Battle of Songhu, it directly made the fallacy of "destroying China in three months" come true. The big joke made him feel that although the Chinese army is poorly equipped and poorly trained, it is bloody, dares to face strong enemies, and dares to die.

In the following several wars, although they all achieved final victories, the problem is that the Chinese army has gradually changed from being unsuitable at the beginning to tenacious resistance.Especially in terms of being good at tactics, the Chinese army has begun to show the resourcefulness accumulated in its long history.For example, the Battle of Pingxingguan is the best proof.

Of course, although the fantasy of "destroying China in three months" was shattered, Koizumi Jiro still had full confidence in defeating the Chinese army.

However, he never imagined that when he and his comrades were extremely confident and even joked with each other, satirizing the cowardice of the local garrison, they would be caught by a group of rabble who had no food, no guns, no training, and no food or clothing. Those who were chased and killed had no power to fight back - in their eyes, the so-called garrison troops were all second-line troops, and they knew that even the second-line troops were not considered as such, and they were definitely no match for the main force like them, not to mention that they had all experienced it several times. Veterans who survived the Great War.

Therefore, at the time of departure, the officer said that they are now here to let the group of Tuba roads see the real power of the imperial army, as if as long as they walk over, those Tuba roads will disperse like birds and beasts, and victory is within easy reach.In this regard, he and his comrades-in-arms are convinced.

However, when the two sides exchanged fire, this group of so-called Tuba roads who were not at all favored by them gave them an educational lesson, or in other words, directly slapped them with reality.It caused such a big blow to them: the opponent is not only well-trained, but also has a strong combat effectiveness, which is no worse than any army they know.

Although the clothes of this group of people are not much better than those of beggars, and their weapons are indeed not as good as them, but everyone in the battle is desperate.

Moreover, whether it is frontal combat, or flank deployment, or defensive formation, or change of formation, etc., the commander of the opponent has shown super high command ability. They repelled six attacks alive and well.

Until now, not to mention Koizumi Jiro, even the comrades around him have shaken their confidence in this victory.At the very least, they all understand that they have encountered a 'tough-boned' team that is not inferior to them in other respects despite poor equipment.In this regard, they knew that this battle still had to be fought, and a winner had to be determined to prove that they were stronger than the opponent.

And Koizumi Jiro is starting to worry about everyone now, not to mention anything else, just in terms of morale, look at the surviving soldiers under his command, all of them are veterans, but at this moment, their brows are tightly furrowed, their eyes are low, and they are no longer as energetic as before , you will know how everyone's morale is.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid the situation will gradually turn unfavorable... However, the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy of military discipline, and the superior-subordinate system is especially strict. They would never dare to retreat without the order of the chief.Coupled with a long history of victories, they have cultivated arrogance that makes them unwilling to admit defeat.Also, although most of their weapons and ammunition were consumed, their main force was not damaged by more than half, and they were still able to fight.So, they are still gritting their teeth and persisting.

But now, each of them is exhausted and their stomachs are empty. They all want to have a decisive battle with the assault group after eating and drinking. They must win and get back the honor that is about to be lost. Otherwise, the shame of defeat will Let them hold their heads up.

However, Koizumi Jiro was even more worried.

Because he could vaguely feel from the commanding ability of the opposing commander that the opponent must have found that their morale was low and their physical strength was low at this time, and they would definitely not just sit back and watch them regain their physical strength.

Fortunately, Yamaguchi Naoi Daisaku's keen insight and command ability are also very powerful. He discovered these and made corresponding arrangements. At least, taking turns to eat and rest made everyone feel at ease.

I hope that those respectable opponents on the opposite side will not take advantage of this opportunity to launch a big counterattack... Koizumi Jiro is queuing up for dinner, with his head down, his eyes are a little dazed, but he is thinking a lot in his mind.

"Koizumi-kun... Koizumi-kun..."

Hearing someone calling himself in front, Koizumi Jiro said "Ah!" and looked up.It turned out that it was his turn to cook, but he stood more than one meter away in a daze.

Koizumi Jiro hurried forward, bowed his head to apologize, and handed over the lunch box...

suddenly!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

All the little devils who were cooking or around him, their first reaction was to look up in a daze, with disbelief in their eyes.

Koizumi Jiro was the first to react, he yelled "Bombardment!", and lay down on the left side, holding his head in his hands, clenching his teeth, waiting for the shells to fall, ready to feel the power of the shells, and his heart went straight to the ground. Sinking, but the bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

His hunch did not disappoint him!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, he heard the explosion, felt the trembling of the ground, and heard the screams and screams of his comrades in his ears... But at this moment, Koizumi Jiro no longer has the high spirits of the past, no longer Lost the belief in invincibility in the past, and no longer have the enthusiasm for war.Even, at this time, he didn't think about anything else at all, his head was empty, and his only thought was - to live!

Subconsciously, he clasped his head tightly with his hands, covered his ears with his arms, and curled up his body into a ball, still trembling faintly, trying to avoid being scratched by stray shrapnel.I dare not see the fate of my comrades-in-arms around me, I dare not listen to the piercing screams, I dare not imagine what will happen to my comrades under such a close explosion, the only thing I can do is to grit my teeth , endured, and waited for the end of the bombardment.

He didn't know how long time had passed, but he just felt that he was in the end of the world, and the sky was falling apart!

suddenly!

He felt something hit his left arm hard.

Thinking it was a cannonball, he screamed in fright, and instinctively waved the thing away with his left hand, but suddenly felt that the weight was wrong.

Puzzled, he instinctively opened his eyes to look, only to find that it was a thigh that was quickly severed by shrapnel.

Looking at the screams again, I saw that the cook who was about to cook for himself just now had his right thigh gone, and blood gushed out one after another, very bloody.And the cook, hugging the wound, rolled all over the floor, and the abnormally sharp screams never stopped... Koizumi Jiro wanted to go to help, but found that his whole body was weak, and he couldn't even move his fingers.In the end, he could only watch the cook die with guilt and fear.

He couldn't bear to witness the death of the cook, and it was also to cover up his fear. He looked a little farther away, and looked not far away, but was shocked to find that the comrades at this time were either wandering around like headless chickens, and some of them were When rescuing the wounded, some people hugged their heads to avoid shells like him, and some even held guns but didn't know where to shoot.

On the ground, there were screams everywhere, casualties everywhere, and flesh and blood everywhere... He felt that, looking around, the whole world was blood-red, strange and cold.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

I don't know if I got used to watching it, but at this moment, Koizumi Jiro felt that both energy and physical strength were quickly returning to his body.

And he listened to the explosion of the shell, felt the power of the shell, and the vibration of the ground.But he suddenly found out inexplicably: this time, the enemy's shells are different from the previous ones. At least, he feels that the enemy's shells are not fired from one direction, and the location of the explosion is also different.More importantly, he felt that one of the explosions was very different from the explosion of shells, and it was very prominent.

I don't know if he felt a great shame for his evasive behavior, or because his mental and physical strength had returned, he got up quickly and took the gun on his back in his hand.

Then, he looked around at the first time, only to find that the temporary dining hall had been blown up long ago, food was scattered everywhere, there were still many corpses and wounded, but more of them were blood red.In this blood red, some of the white spots of the rice grains were dyed red, while others were still white. It looked very seductive and dazzling, but it made him want to vomit.

He even keenly noticed that there was a shell landing not far away, and a large pit was blasted out. The black pit wall was extremely dazzling in the blood red.

"boom!"

There was another explosion sound different from that of a cannonball, causing Koizumi Jiro to subconsciously look at the source of the sound.

It was only then that I was shocked to find out that the abnormal explosion sound was nothing but a bigger explosion after the big car was hit by a shell, and even the flames and thick smoke produced by the explosion were much stronger than other places. many.

What attracted Koizumi Jiro's attention the most was that with the explosion of the car, the people who were shooting were directly blown into the air. Although they all died directly, the bodies were blown to pieces...

Koizumi Jiro couldn't bear the nausea in his heart anymore, he didn't suppress his nausea, squatted on the ground and vomited...

It was also during vomiting that he felt for the first time: War is so cruel and ruthless, we should not pursue it, but avoid it!

But at this moment, the voices of "Chong!" and "Kill!" came from his ears. Although he could not speak Chinese, he had heard countless of these simple words from the Chinese army. Once, understand its meaning and know its meaning better!

The assault regiment launched a general offensive...
