Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    readx; A typical Japanese-style house is located on the side of the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower point. Although it is not as high as the height, it can well dodge the heavy machine gun bullets fired from the front. The ridge of the house is raised, and the rocket launcher can hide behind the ridge of the house to fire rockets.  , knocking out the Japanese heavy machine gun fire point on the opposite roof, the troops could also penetrate the courtyard wall, bypass the Japanese fire point behind, and after continuously drilling through the wall, the street was captured.

    Liu Changshui had this idea in mind. He called over the four platoon leaders and ordered: "The first platoon and the heavy fire platoon follow me into the yard. The other three platoons will attract the firepower of the Japs and cover us! Wait for the Japs to knock off the roof on the opposite side."  After the heavy machine gun fire started, the whole company entered the yard!"

    The thin door panel was kicked open by a strong soldier, and more than seventy people from the first platoon and the heavy fire platoon poured into the yard. An old Japanese man in his fifties with gray hair, wearing  Wearing a shabby kimono, shivering and huddled in the corner, with fear on his face, he looked at the division soldiers who suddenly broke in through the door.

    Liu Changshui was stunned. He did not expect to encounter a Japanese. He instinctively raised his submachine gun, but then put it down and ordered the platoon leader beside him: "Search and send someone to guard him!"

    A platoon leader stepped forward to personally search the old Japanese man. There was nothing unusual, so he nodded to Liu Changshui. Liu Changshui was busy directing several rocket launcher operators from the heavy firepower platoon to climb onto the roof, and ordered the soldiers in the first platoon to start digging.  Passing through the courtyard wall, I inadvertently turned my head and seemed to see an unusual light in the eyes of the old Japanese man squatting on the ground.

    He was about to question the old Japanese man when a bazooka man shouted from the roof, "Company Commander. The position is just right. Let's shoot down. Make sure the Japs' heavy machine gun fire point on the roof opposite is blasted into the sky!"

    Liu Changshui's attention was immediately attracted.  He raised his face and shouted loudly: "Pay attention to protect yourself, fire all the rocket launchers at the same time, make sure to kill the little devil's firepower point at once!"

    Several rockets flew towards the Japanese heavy machine gun fire point on the opposite roof. "Boom, boom, boom!" Several violent explosions sounded, and the Japanese heavy machine gun on the opposite roof suddenly flew into the air.  Even the roof was blown down.

    "Good job!" Liu Changshui shouted excitedly. At the same time, a row of soldiers were about to drill through the courtyard wall. At this moment, the old Japanese man squatting on the ground suddenly fell back and grabbed his hand.  Pick up a rope and shout at the same time.  The rope was pulled sharply.

    In an instant, Liu Changshui understood what was going on. There was a loud "Boom!" and mud flew.  Smoke and dust were everywhere, and most of the entire yard was destroyed before the smoke cleared.  The three platoons of soldiers covering the fire outside screamed.  Rushed into the yard which was almost in ruins.

    They saw a horrific scene, with more than 70 soldiers from the first platoon and heavy firepower platoon and company commander Liu Changshui.  They all fell in a pool of blood. A dozen soldiers were crushed under the rubble. They had obviously been sacrificed. More soldiers were covered in blood, missing arms and legs. Their uniforms were blown into pieces, and the company commander was even injured all over his body.  The flesh and blood were so blurred that the original appearance could not be seen, and the seriously injured were in pain.

    Several other platoon leaders shouted heartbreakingly. The second platoon leader picked up a seriously injured man and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

    "It's, it's a damn little Japanese civilian, and when we weren't paying attention, he pulled the bomb buried in the yard!" The seriously injured man said intermittently: "I thought he was just an ordinary Japanese citizen, and we were unprepared.  !¡±

    "Ah¡ª¡ª!" The second platoon leader howled in heartbreaking pain and hit his head hard with his fists. Just a little Japanese civilian cost the lives of dozens of soldiers from the third company. The company commander  He was not willing to accept being blown to pieces!

    "Report to the battalion commander immediately!" The second platoon commander was now the supreme commander. He said to the radio operator with blood-red eyes: "When the third company was pulling out the Japanese heavy machine gun firepower, it was suddenly attacked by Japanese civilians. The company commander  Liu Changshui was killed in battle, and more than 70 soldiers were killed or injured. Please pay special attention to the battalion commander!"

    In the armored command vehicle, Chu Ziye's face was frighteningly gloomy. The brigade headquarters continued to receive reports. After the regiments broke into Yamagata City, they encountered little resistance from the Japanese army, but they were attacked by a large number of Japanese residents in the city.  , some were elderly, some were women, and some were even 12 or 13 years old. They all looked as if they didn¡¯t want to live anymore, and they used various methods of suicide attacks.

    Some Japanese adopted the same method as the third company, and some Japanese pretended to be dead and lay on the street where the troops were attacking. When the soldiers passed by, they suddenly pulled off their grenades and bombs, and some Japanese  , hiding behind the door of his house, waiting for the soldiers to pass by, pulling off his weapons and grenades, and suddenly pounced into the crowd.  .  .  .  .  .

    The soldiers are very uncomfortable. If they are faced with Japanese soldiers fighting in the street, the soldiers have countless ways??Solved, but faced with Japanese civilians everywhere, less than an hour after the Fourth Brigade broke into Yamagata City, heavy casualties occurred. Chief of Staff Wu Chengguang counted more than 900 casualties, basically  All of them were lost at the hands of Japanese civilians.

    Chu Ziye gritted his teeth so hard that he shouted in a low voice: "Every little Japs should be damned! No matter they are Japs soldiers or Japs civilians!" He was so angry that he almost went crazy. Just now,  My own team was also subject to a suicide attack. A Japanese kid in his teens rushed towards me with two smoking grenades in his eyes. Fortunately, his brigade personnel were in an armored command vehicle.  There were no casualties.

    "Chief of Staff, report to the division commander immediately. The Fourth Brigade requested to stop the attack and temporarily evacuate the troops from Yamagata City!" Chu Ziye said to Chief of Staff Wu Chengguang with a livid face: "If the war continues like this, we will definitely suffer, even in the end.  After capturing Yamagata Castle, the cost of casualties was huge!¡±

    Wu Chengguang reminded worriedly, "Brigade commander, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! Several other brigades are attacking, but our brigade is the only one to stop. It will disrupt the overall offensive plan, and the division commander will not agree!"

    "The Japs are fighting suicidal street fighting with us. There is no difference between soldiers and civilians!" Chu Ziye said solemnly: "I can't let my soldiers die at the hands of the Japs' civilians. After reporting to the division commander, you  Order the brigade artillery director to pull up all the artillery. I don¡¯t care about the other brigades. We must use artillery shells to blast a path in the direction of our brigade¡¯s attack! We don¡¯t have time to distinguish between the little Japanese soldiers and the little Japanese civilians!¡±

    Tang Qiuli's face was many times uglier than Chu Ziye's. Before receiving a call from the Fourth Brigade Chief of Staff Wu Chengguang, he had received calls from several other brigade commanders. The reported situation was similar to that of the Fourth Brigade Chief of Staff Wu Chengguang.  About the same as the brigade, the troops suffered suicide attacks by Japanese civilians, causing heavy casualties.

    Especially Liu Hongzhang's First Brigade, in order to seize the title of being the first to attack Yamagata Castle, the First Brigade actually got ahead of the Second Brigade and rushed into the city in a dense formation. As a result, the casualties were the highest.  More than a thousand soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

    "Division commander, do you want to order each brigade to immediately adjust their tactics, slow down the attack speed, or stop the attack on the spot?" Major General Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the division's staff office, saw the division commander's face looking very ugly and made a suggestion.

    "No need, it's not that troublesome!" Tang Qiuli said in a cold tone: "Order all brigades to withdraw from Yamagata City immediately, stand by and surround them on the periphery, and shoot any Japanese who are found escaping. Order all brigades to  The artillerymen under the command concentrated their artillery fire and bombarded Yamagata Castle from all directions, covering all directions without leaving any blind spots!"

    "Order Liu Cuigang to immediately dispatch three bomber regiments, carrying 'Buddha's Light' bombs, to intensively bomb Yamagata City. Since the Japanese are trying to destroy all the people, suicide attacks, so that the blood of the soldiers will no longer be shed, and there will no longer be unnecessary sacrifices."  , then I will completely wipe this Yamagata City off the map! Killing this city will make the Japanese remember it better!"

    At this moment, the murderous intention in Tang Qiuli's heart reached its peak. Ge Zhenzhuang's body trembled slightly, "The division commander is so murderous!" There were hundreds of thousands of Japanese residents and more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers in Yamagata City. Under the shelling and bombing, there were no  Any possibility of survival, the suicide attack of Japanese civilians, completely angered the division commander, and he became more murderous. He wanted to massacre the city with artillery fire.

    But Ge Zhenzhuang obviously had no intention of stopping the division commander. The Japanese's practice of destroying all the people, carrying out suicide attacks, and using civilians as cannon fodder also made him angry. The Japanese were no longer fighting a war, but an entire nation before its death struggle.  Madness, to deal with such madness, can only be more crazy and bloody methods.

    "What, the division commander asked us to retreat? Yamagata Castle is not going to be fought?" Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade, glared at the chief of staff Liu Chenglin and roared: "More than a thousand of my brothers were killed or injured in vain? No, I will tell the division commander in person  Call me, if you don¡¯t take down Yamagata Castle, I¡¯ll come and see you!¡±

    "Brigadier Commander!" Liu Chenglin hurriedly called to him and said, "The division commander also issued an order to concentrate the artillery of all troops and bombard Yamagata Castle!"

    "Ah!" Liu Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, then he understood and grinned happily, "Okay! Use cannonballs to talk to the little devils in the city!"

    In Yamagata Castle, at the headquarters of the Japanese 107th Division, the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshida, put down the phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and with a bit of pride on his face, said to the chief of staff, Major General Nobuto: "Initial tactics.  It worked, and the attacking China Division troops suffered a certain amount of casualties and evacuated the city."

    ¡°In this way, we can at least block the Chinese at Yamagata Castle for more than a week, buy enough time for the troops of the defense zone headquarters in the northeastern part of Honshu Island to retreat, and we can be considered worthy of His Majesty the Emperor!¡±

    Chief of Staff Shinto was not as optimistic as Lieutenant General Yoshida. The China Division troops besieged Yamagata Castle with nearly 100,000 troops.How could they retreat after a slight setback? The temporary retreat was probably preparing for a more violent attack. However, the division commander was in trouble right now, so how could he spoil the fun?
