Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sun was shining brightly. In the Liaodong Peninsula at the end of June, the daytime temperature was already very high. The Japanese soldiers lying on the battlefield were a little drowsy under the warm sunshine. The hands holding the 38-guns were not moving.  I lowered my head consciously and felt very comfortable. It was like this for everyone else. After waiting for several hours, the Japanese soldiers, including members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team, were less prepared to fight.

    Under the warm sunshine in June, Major General Katayama was already feeling cold in his heart. The Independent Division troops were too quiet. There were no gunshots at all. He could not see any movement of the Independent Division troops and could even hear them.  The low chirping of birds in the bushes, and if it weren't for the large upturned land in front of us, the mottled bloodstains, and the craters everywhere, it would almost make people doubt that this is just an ordinary place on the Liaodong Peninsula.

    Major General Katayama became anxious. Although he judged that the Independent Division troops would not launch an attack today due to heavy casualties, in the telescope, the shadow of the activities of the Independent Division soldiers should be seen. However, there is nothing now, five kilometers away from the defense line.  Within the range to the left and right, there was no trace of any troop activity. It was extremely quiet, as if everything last night existed in a dream!

    Major General Katayama didn't like such silence. He didn't believe that because of such losses, the independent division troops would retreat. There was only one possibility. Those Chinese people were brewing a new conspiracy. It had been several hours since the troops entered the position.  The fighting spirit and momentum of the soldiers cannot remain high forever, especially those members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team. Once there is no stimulation from the sound of gunfire, will they still be willing to be driven by themselves to act as suicide bombs?

    ?? Once these armed civilians who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor are free.  There will be many thoughts in their hearts, especially last night, more than 40,000 people died, which will inevitably have a great impact on their psychology. Therefore, Major General Katayama hopes that the independent division troops will launch a small-scale attack.  Judging from normal circumstances, this should be the case.

    Major General Katayama stretched his numb body.  He withdrew his confused gaze and shouted: "Kojima! Kojima!" He was accustomed to calling Lieutenant Kojima, his adjutant who had been with him for many years. The one who answered the call was a staff officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Only then did Major General Katayama remember  .  The lieutenant of the small island was dissatisfied with his actions.  And was sent to serve as the commando captain of the Manchurian Volunteer Team.  He also lost his life in the action last night.

    Major General Katayama felt disappointed, and his originally gloomy mood became even worse, because the joy brought by last night's operation was gone. He said angrily to the Lieutenant Colonel and Staff Officer: "Convey my order. Troops entering the position must not  Relax and be ready to counterattack the Chinese troops at any time! Members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team, enter the position immediately according to the prior plan!"

    The Lieutenant Colonel looked at the acting commander's gloomy face and reminded him carefully: "Your Excellency, acting commander, it has been more than five hours since the troops entered the position. It is now noon. Do you want to order the troops to take turns to have lunch? We also take the opportunity to take a rest.  , the soldiers are already very tired!¡±

    "Baga! Pig head! Stupid suggestion! What if the independent division troops launch an attack on the front while some troops are going down to the position to eat? Send lunch to the position!" Major General Katayama roared angrily, and the Lieutenant Colonel and Staff were shocked.  , he couldn't understand why the acting commander suddenly lost his temper. He was just making a suggestion. If it didn't work, why should he deny it? Why did he open his mouth to curse?  Damn it!  Feeling aggrieved, but not daring to say anything more, I agreed and went out.

    The Japanese soldiers on the position did not wait for lunch. What they waited for was the black and dense bomber group of the Independent Division. When the dull roar of engines came from the clear sky, the drowsy Japanese soldiers on the position just  The more than 40,000 members of the Manchurian Volunteers who came up stretched their necks and looked to the southwest. When those Japanese soldiers saw the bombers of the Independent Division, they had the energy to learn a painful lesson, and their faces turned pale at that time!

    The more than 40,000 members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team had no idea what was going on. Many of them thought it was a plane from the Empire of Japan. In their impression, only the Empire of Japan would  With such a powerful force, not only were they not afraid, but they were pointing excitedly, and they were very puzzled by the pale faces of the soldiers around them?

    Soon, they knew what was going on. When the bombers flew into the sky above their heads, swarms of bombs whizzed down. The missile bodies reflected the cold luster of metal in the sun, and they were in front of them in an instant.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The earth shook, gravel and soil flew everywhere, broken shrapnel flew across, and balls of fire burst out. The tranquility just now no longer existed, and the Japanese army's position was shrouded in smoke.  , the explosion of bombs, and the roar of bombers flying by, intertwined, telling the members of the Manchurian Volunteers who were full of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor that?What is war!

    The bombs were dense and violent. Major General Katayama was hiding in the shelter. There was no danger. However, in the huge explosion, the shelter shook violently and seemed to collapse at any time. Major General Katayama looked pale. I regretted my wrong decision just now.  Crazy, I predicted that the independent division troops would definitely not give up, but I didn't expect that what came was not the infantry of the independent division, but an unusually large number of bombers!

    The remaining members were more than 40,000 Manchurian Volunteers. As soon as they took up the position, the bombers of the Independent Division arrived. Is it a coincidence?  Major General Katayama didn't know how many more than 40,000 people would be left under the bombing with such an order, but it was certain that the casualties would be heavy. He hurriedly lay down in front of the observation hole and truly felt how stupid his order just now was.  !

    The bombs dropped by the independent division bombers fell on the position. The Manchurian Volunteers whose bodies were covered with explosives and grenades were attacked by shrapnel. The explosives and grenades on their bodies were detonated at the same time. A bomb fell and there was a sound.  There was a loud noise, a pillar of earth rose up, and several figures flew up. The figure flying in the air was followed by another explosion, and the figure turned into human body fragments flying in all directions!

    Major General Katayama's face became paler when he saw this situation. Only then did he realize how naive and naive the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, was when he ordered to block the independent division troops here for more than a week.  It is ridiculous and ignorant to still have the confidence to carry out orders. Under such a fierce bombing, not only the more than 40,000 Manchurian Volunteers suffered heavy casualties, but also the remaining half of the Seventh Army's divisions would also be severely damaged.  , next, what will be used to block the attack of the independent division troops?

    The soil on the roof of the shelter fell with a "swish" and fell on the head of Major General Katayama. He did not notice it at all. He realistically thought that after the bombing was over, even if he ordered the troops to retreat immediately, it would be difficult to do it!

    The violent and intensive bombing lasted for more than 40 minutes. The Japanese positions from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe were shrouded in billowing smoke. The bodies of Japanese soldiers and Manchurian volunteers were shattered in the explosion.  The explosives and grenades wrapped around their bodies became accomplices in the massacre of their compatriots, so much so that the Japanese soldiers, who were almost mentally broken, would not hesitate to shoot and kill the Manchurian Volunteer Team members when they saw them running towards them.

    The independent division's bombers lined up in neat formation and rumbled away, leaving craters everywhere and broken bodies everywhere. Major General Katayama stood up, with the sound of huge explosions still ringing in his ears. "Order the troops to rescue immediately."  The wounded, repair the fortifications, members of the Manchurian Volunteer Corps, count the number of people, and prepare to meet the attack of the independent division troops!" He was not completely confused and gave the correct order.

    However, Major General Katayama knew clearly that there were probably not many soldiers and Manchurian Volunteers left alive on the position. All the troops were concentrated on the position. The independent division's bomber group came too suddenly, causing great losses to the troops.  , immeasurable!

    But Major General Katayama is not desperate. He still has the biggest trump card. There is an artillery regiment behind the defense line. It has not exposed its target so far. Although they are small-caliber artillery, the range is not enough to cover the starting point of the independent division's attack.  , but it is enough to provide artillery support for the forward positions. When the independent division troops begin to attack, dozens of artillery fire will definitely achieve the best effect.

    At the headquarters of the 6th Marine Brigade, the brigade commander, Major General Jiang Xianliang, geared up and said to Han Tie with excitement: "Commander, the aviation force has helped us a lot. You can stay at the brigade headquarters and I will go to the front immediately.  Organize the troops to start an attack and take down the little Jaap's position in one go! The little Jaap is now scared. Commander, what you just said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. The little Jaap was blown up into the sky all of a sudden.  It exploded. It would never have happened if I didn¡¯t have explosives on me!¡±

    Han Tie held up the telescope and continued to observe the battlefield situation, and said casually: "What are you busy with! Don't rush to attack now, hey! Qingqing, you still don't believe it? This is what the division commander reminded, the Japanese army's unconventional combat methods, the fourth brigade  Suffer this loss!¡±

    Jiang Xianliang's eyes wandered for a few times and he said tentatively: "Then listen to the commander and don't launch an attack for the time being. Commander, none of us have ever experienced this little devil's unconventional combat methods. How can we do it?"  It is inevitable for the Fourth Brigade to suffer losses if the civilians are covered with explosives and grenades and used as cannon fodder. Even though I am a smart person, I wouldn¡¯t believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes just now!¡±

    "Commander, is the punishment given to Lao Huang by the Crossing Battle Command a bit harsh? It's okay to be demoted from major general to colonel. We are not doing it for this, but dismissal is too serious, isn't it? You also know that Lao Huang.  , Can you bear to treat the army as your own home? "
