Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 262: Tongdeng meat grinder (1)

Masuda Yoshida's second-class soldiers held his 38-type rifle butts crouched in a dry drain beside the shoulder of the road. With him was the second-class soldier Natsume who joined the army at the same time. Both were from Xiaohei in Hiroshima Prefecture. The village was assigned to the 21st United team, all of whom are Hamada. ●⌒, this kind of thing rarely happened to the Japanese before, mainly because of transportation reasons that caused difficulties in replenishing the soldiers of the Fifth Division. Several battles were carried out in succession, and all four wings of the Fifth Division appeared. Because of the lack of editors, each supplementary soldier became a rare resource. At this time, the division could only achieve a level of water, and no longer considered the difference in personnel origin.

"It's a lively fight over there." Natsume turned back from the far-fighting battlefield and looked at her fellow Yoshida with emotion.

"I didn't expect the French soldiers to be so tenacious, didn't they say that they had surrendered to the single country." Yoshida said his thoughts.

"Yoshida, you idiot. Those are Vietnamese soldiers. They were blinded by the French propaganda. They thought they could stop the advance of the royal army. You see, our army will soon destroy them all." The first-class soldier of Kimura on the other side of Yoshida chimed in.

"Keep quiet, a few of you!" There was a whispered voice from Komatsu Wuchang, and the three Japanese soldiers quickly closed their mouths, adjusted their squatting positions, and adjusted the 38-type rifle.

Komatsu Wu Chang squatted behind a bush on the roadside and watched the front of the road with a ninety-three telescope. This kind of binoculars made by Nikon for low-ranking non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Army only cost 30 yen per frame, which is only one-third of the usual telescope price on the market. The Japanese Army has placed a large number of orders from Nikon. This kind of cheap products is mainly distributed to the cavalry and infantry sergeants in need. Komatsu’s rank of Wu Chang is equivalent to a corporal of an army in other countries, so he also received one from the squadron. He wiped it every day and treated it like a treasure.

"Nothing unusual."

Komatsu put down the telescope, he leaned over and sat on a rock behind the bush, and pulled out a notepad with a pen in his waist pocket. Recorded the current time and sketched the location of the team, which was used to write the battlefield record. Mayor Komatsu is an excellent soldier with an ambitious spirit and a lofty ambition. His current goal is to become an infantry squad leader like Nomura Juncao.

"Komatsu. How is your situation there?" Nomura Taro Army Cao shouted from a distance in the third detachment of the second squadron of the 12th Squadron. The military cao carried a rifle and walked straight down the road towards Komatsu. Come.

"Ah, that's not enough, you guys need to work harder." Passing the second squad that was digging the foxhole by the roadside. Nomura quipped loudly at the soldiers who were sweating and waving infantry spades.

"Hurry up, abominable guy, don't hinder others from working!" Cao Okamoto, the captain of the second detachment, picked up a piece of dirt and threw it at Nomura.

"Hah, then you won't disturb you, digging pit, Master Okamoto." Nomura flashed aside, avoiding the soil, he made a funny grimace at Okamoto, and made the soldiers of the second detachment coax. laugh it out.

"Hey, few of you, don't stop working in your hands." Okamoto yelled loudly at his men.

The twelfth squadron stayed behind as a reserve team. At the same time, he shouldered the responsibility of defending the rear of Morimoto Group. This squadron is currently under-staffed because it is accompanied by a veteran of the squadron following the captain of Futian Squadron. There are only two teams left in the twelfth squadron, and there are only one hundred seventeen people in total. Sixty percent of them are recruits who have only served for one year, and more than ten percent are Yoshida and Natsume. The domestic rookie. What this unit needs at present is to accumulate battlefield experience. At least half a year of training is needed before it can be used as a ninth and tenth squadron. This is one of the reasons why Morimoto retained them as a reserve team. Another reason As mentioned before, Hisano is a newcomer. Unable to gain the trust of Morimoto.

Nomura and Komatsu are the two senior noncommissioned officers in the squadron, so the Nomura squadron was placed at the forefront of the guard position by the squadron leader as an observation post. The remaining troops are under the command of the two squad leaders and are working hard to build field defense. position. Although this young squadron leader is young, he has some rigidities in his work. He requires that everything the officers and soldiers do must strictly follow the army’s infantry code. The code requires that field defenses should be built in this case, regardless of the conditions. Difficulties must be implemented seriously and responsibly.

"There is not a single figure. It looks so peaceful. Who would think that the other side of the road is now like a Shura field." Nomura jumped off the shoulder and walked to Komatsu's side. He took the telescope from Komatsu's hand and faced the road far away Looking away.

"How's the game going forward?" Komatsu asked. He knew his team leader was very wild, and he heard a little more than others.

"The battle was fierce. The infantry artillery squad was detouring behind the enemy. The ninth squadron was very difficult to play. Even Lieutenant Takeda was killed."

"The captain is dead?" Komatsu's mouth widened in surprise.

In fact, Nomura’s news has been lagging behind. Not only did the ninth squadron lose a second lieutenant, the Okubo squadron had already killed two small captains in a row at this time, and even the squadron attached to the command was seriously injured.

Although the pig attack on the a3 position has made gratifying progress, the French defenders quickly responded. Lieutenant Domiel mobilized the two 81-millimeter Brown derrick m1930 mortars equipped at the base against Okubo. Tanigawa Squadron launched a continuous and violent shelling. Not only did the two squads of Okubo Squadron get rid of the trench outside the stronghold, but it also caused serious casualties to the Japanese army.

The next battle turned into artillery battle between the two sides. To the surprise of the Japanese, the French mortar gunner was quite good, and he also got the cooperation of the stronghold machine guns in the stronghold. The 92nd Infantry Artillery Squad was between 1:30 It is difficult to gain the upper hand.

The existing problems of the Morimoto Brigade have all been exposed at this moment. After the continuous march over the mountains, the soldiers have been very tired. At the beginning, they can still persist with a courage of blood. However, with the stalemate in the war, the soldiers’ morale and The physical strength has obviously decreased, and what is more annoying to Morimoto is that the casualties of the troops are also slowly increasing. Morimoto knew that this would not work, he must find a breakthrough and break the deadlock facing him.

Morimoto quickly made a decision and changed the tactics again, allowing Okubo Squadron to contain the French forces in the a3 stronghold, while Hasegawa Squadron bypassed the road from the side mountain and attacked the French army in depth. The French may have sent reinforcements. The mission of Hasegawa Squadron is to block the other's possible reinforcements. After Kato Squadron destroys the resistance of the No. 1 Machine Gun Fort, it will attack the a3 base with Okubo Squadron.

Now he can only pray for the protection of Vaishravana and the Hasegawa Squadron will be able to make some gains. If this operation is frustrated again, then the Morimoto Brigade can only choose to give up this battle and retreat back to China. This was not the end he wanted to see. He arbitrarily crossed international borders to provoke international disputes. The final loss was heavy. Not to mention any results. The heads of the military department will certainly devour themselves.

Morimoto personally took the squadron headquarters and the affiliated guards to the first line of war. Kato squadron's performance made him very disappointed. The battle has passed for more than half an hour. The ninth squadron, fully packed, has not yet won the large machine gun fort. . The stubborn defenders in the French bunker were unimaginable. After being attacked by the Japanese for such a long time, they could still fight back and forth intermittently and repel the brave assaults of the Japanese.

Morimoto blamed Capt. Kato for the shame of the Japanese Army, and gave Kato a death order. Within five minutes, he was given the **** fortress. If he couldn't do it, he would take command. Captain Kato of the ninth squadron felt deeply humiliated. In order to prove the ability of a Japanese officer, he decided to personally lead the soldiers in this assault. So at this moment the captain buckled the helmet strap, holding a saber and standing at the forefront of the assault force. After the machine gun squadron stopped suppressing the shooting, it made a final impact on the machine gun fort 1.

As for the twelfth squadron, Morimoto decided to keep them as the guard of the whole team when they needed to retreat, so they still did not use their preparations.

"Hey, you see, a car is coming." Yoshida saw a black spot on the corner of the road in the distance, and hurried towards this side.

"Report leader!" Natsume shouted loudly.

"I saw it!" Nomura was holding Komatsu's telescope, carefully adjusting the focus of the eyepiece.

"It seems to be a four-wheeled armored vehicle?" Nomura handed the telescope to Komatsu.

"It is the armored vehicle of the only country, the French will not be equipped with this kind of vehicle, only the Chinese army!"

Komatsu recognized the approaching vehicle. He had not encountered this kind of German light armored vehicle on the Chinese battlefield before. The most recent one was in the battle of Kunlunguan last year. Strong armored vehicle.

"Immediately report to the squadron leader that there is an armored vehicle of the Chin Army in the rear of our army! Everyone is ready for battle, pay attention to concealment, and the machine detachment of the second squadron comes to the front." Nomura issued a battle preparation order loudly.
