Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The hot sun caused the Kwantung Army soldiers who had lost too much blood and lacked water to have their eyesight turn black. The same was true for Colonel Suzuki. His hastily bandaged wounds began to ooze bright red blood again due to the strenuous exercise.  , but it did not affect his excitement. He lay on his side behind a stone, holding grenades in his hands, soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the tanks of the Independent Division one kilometer away and the large group of infantry behind the tanks, with fear in his eyes.  Shining like a hungry wolf.

    In Suzuki Colonel's heart, being able to be broken into pieces in this way, and to be able to carry tens of thousands of independent division soldiers on his back before death, is the best destination for a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire. He is brave and heroic. He believes that more than 20,000 soldiers of the independent division can be killed.  The injured imperial soldiers will have the same thoughts as himself!

    Seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, the earth trembled, and the huge figure of the Independent Division tank appeared on the horizon of the Gobi Desert. However, it stopped one kilometer away. Suzuki Colonel was anxious and worried, "Eight  Ga! Why don¡¯t you move forward, you cunning Chinese? Could it be that the wounded soldiers of the Imperial Army make them so frightened and afraid? Plus, this is the glory of the Imperial Army!¡±

    However, the tanks and infantry of the independent division that were not moving made Suzuki feel anxious. "You are a coward, you are not a samurai! The tanks are coming here quickly! They are coming towards the imperial samurai!" he said fiercely.  Cursing, anxious, looking forward to it!

    " Colonel Suzuki was just careless. The hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Kwantung Army troops were beaten to pieces. How big a wave could more than 20,000 wounded soldiers make, whether it was Liu Hongzhang or Chu Ziye.  They are all battle-hardened veterans who have fought with the Japanese army for many years.  He saw through the essence of the Japanese soldiers from their bones. It was this guy who self-defeated himself and allowed more than 20,000 wounded soldiers to lay dead on the Gobi Desert. This actually aroused the vigilance of Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye.

    If the Kwantung Army has wounded soldiers, puts up some fierce resistance, holds off for a while, and puts on its usual desperate posture, maybe Suzuki's conspiracy will succeed.  The two most capable brigades of the directly affiliated corps have found their way. This is a destiny that has its own destiny!

    Finally, the independent division troops moved, but Colonel Suzuki almost fainted from anger. His heart felt so cold that it went down to his bones. He saw it.  A large group of soldiers rushed out from behind the tanks of the Independent Division. Then, hundreds of mortars were set up more than 1,500 meters away from the wounded soldiers everywhere, and the mortar barrels slowly rose.  Suzuki saw with his own eyes that the artillerymen of the Independent Division opened the shell boxes and took out black mortar shells one after another.

    "Baga! Cunning Chinese people, they are going to bombard us!" Colonel Suzuki wailed in his heart, with a look of despair on his face.  He pulled out a southern-style pistol and couldn't sit still and wait for death.  "Shoot!" he roared crazily, his injured leg not affecting his movements.

    "Pa!" A gunshot rang out, but the sound was completely drowned in the roar of the independent division's tank engines. The shooting range of the Southern-style pistol was only fifty meters away, and it did not threaten the distance of less than 1,500 meters.  The independent division mortars outside did not attract the attention of the wounded Kwantung Army soldiers who were still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, thinking only of the independent division soldiers taking the bait.

    "Dong, dong, dong!" Hundreds of mortars ejected from their barrels, drawing a beautiful curve in the sun, and then plunged into the pile of wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army on the Gobi Desert. The ballistic trajectories were not dense or concentrated.  When planning to bombard a certain area, Liu Hongzhang's only requirement for the mortars was to expand the range of the bombardment as much as possible. A loud explosion reverberated, and clouds of black smoke bloomed on the Gobi Desert.

    The bodies of the wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army turned into rain of blood in the black smoke, and the splashed stones also became accomplices in killing people. Now, the wounded soldiers of the Kwantung Army who were lying down and pretending to be dead could no longer lie down.  , rolling and crawling to find a place to hide from the shells, but there is no place to hide except the gravel. Let's fire back, but the sad thing is that even the 38-gun bullets with the longest range,  It can't hit a distance of 1,500 meters.

    Liu Hongzhang stood on the open roof of the armored command vehicle. After putting down the telescope, he said to Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, do you see any signs?"

    Liu Chenglin put down the telescope and said uncertainly: "There is nothing unusual. The Kwantung Army soldiers started to fight back! However, they must have been forced. Look, there are not even trenches!"

    "Hahaha!" Liu Hongzhang sneered again and again, "Cheng Lin, you are still too kind. I dare to conclude that this is a trap of the little devil. If you look carefully, the little devil who was hit by the shell exploded twice.  , there must be no less than seven or eight grenades strapped to his body. They are waiting for our soldiers to go up and die together. With the order, the artillery and tanks opened fire to clear the battlefield in all directions. These little devils who want to take our backs will follow the order.  Collect them all and send them to see the Lord of Hell!"

    ¡°Brigadier, Brigadier Chu is calling!¡± the operator shouted.

    The ground roared, and artillery shells passed overhead like raindrops, falling on the injured Kwantung Army soldiers.On the Gobi Desert, the rumbling explosions drowned out all sounds. Liu Hongzhang did not hear it. The operator tugged on his trousers, and Liu Hongzhang finally realized and hurriedly retracted his body.

    The radio operator lay next to Liu Hongzhang's ear and shouted loudly, "Brigadier Commander, Brigadier Chu is looking for you!"

    Liu Hongzhang put on his earphones and said, "Commander Liu, I, Lao Chu, have to thank you. You guessed it right. The little devil is pretending to be dead. He is wrapped with grenades and explosives and is ready to wait for us when we go up."  Let's die together, okay? If you are insidious enough, then use cannonballs to say hello, I hear you are having a great time fighting!" Chu Ziye yelled with a loud voice.

    Liu Hongzhang smiled proudly and said: "Chu has such a loud voice, stop flattering him and clear the place quickly before the battle ahead!"

    Zhao Yuhe, who was following the advance of the second echelon troops, was sitting in an armored command vehicle. Hearing the roar of artillery coming from the front, he looked outside the vehicle in confusion and said to Acting Chief of Staff Wu Zhengmin: "Chief of Staff Wu, what's going on ahead?"  A fight has begun? Haven¡¯t we arrived at the scheduled battlefield yet? But we sent a telegram to ask the commander of the first brigade, Liu Hongzhang, and the commander of the fourth brigade, Chu Ziye, what¡¯s going on?¡±

    A few minutes later, both Liu Hongzhang and Chu Ziye responded with telegrams, "Report to the headquarters that our unit was suddenly blocked by a large number of Kwantung Army troops on the way to the predetermined battlefield. The number of troops was about tens of thousands. We  The troops are shelling the Kwantung Army's blocking positions, and the passage for advancement will be opened immediately without affecting the normal advance of the follow-up troops! "

    "The blocking of the Kwantung Army troops?" Zhao Yuhe thought for a moment in confusion, and instinctively felt that the article in this article was probably not that simple. From the map, the area where the battle took place was a Gobi Desert, without any cover.  Blocking, with a clear view, there is no blocking terrain that can be used. The commander of the Kwantung Army was confused, where did he set the blocking position?  But I couldn¡¯t figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it.

    After calling back the Corps Headquarters, Liu Hongzhang took the initiative to contact Chu Ziye, "I said Chu has a loud voice. Has Chief of Staff Zhao called you to ask about it?"

    Chu Ziye replied cheerfully: "I received a telegram. I responded according to your routine. You also responded in the same way, right? However, there is no feeling in beating these half-dead little Japanese wounded soldiers!"

    Liu Hongzhang had a defeated expression on his face and said angrily: "Can you tell me something different from Chief of Staff Zhao? Don't be so cute. There are tens of thousands of little devils jumping around in front of you. Let's hurry up, or else?"  , those guys from the Outer Mongolia Field Corps are all in your mouth!"

    More than an hour later, Zhao Yuhe commanded the second echelon of troops and arrived at the battlefield where the battle had just occurred. Even sitting in the armored command vehicle, he could smell the pools of blood under the scorching sun. The Kwantung Army  The soldiers' stumps and broken arms, the broken body pieces, exuding the pungent smell of blood, the craters everywhere, and the lingering smoke still lingering. They are all veterans on the battlefield. It can be inferred from the traces of the battlefield that they fell to the shells.  There are at least 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers under the command.

    There were craters all over the place, and upturned gravel and soil could be seen everywhere, as well as pieces of corpses of Kwantung Army soldiers buried under the soil. Zhao Yuhe looked at the very tragic battlefield and could not help but have a question in his mind, "The first brigade and the third brigade  The combined strength of the four brigades was only 40,000. Against the resistance of more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, it took less than an hour and a half from the frontal assault to the end of the battle, and they were completely and completely wiped out.  There wasn¡¯t even a single prisoner, and even if the artillery and tanks had an absolute advantage, this battle was too amazing, wasn¡¯t it?¡±

    Thinking of the abnormal behavior of the Kwantung Army troops setting up blocking positions here, Zhao Yuhe became more doubtful, but he temporarily put aside these doubts and said to acting chief of staff Wu Zhengmin: "Chief of Staff Wu, convey my order  , the frontal offensive troops accelerated their advance, and the attacking troops on the left and right wings immediately contacted the Outer Mongolia Field Corps troops on the front lines of Haleg and Menghehan to close the encirclement! "

    We can already see the distant horizon on the steaming horizon, the line from Harrag to Menghehan, the rugged mountains. After climbing over the low mountains, after walking for more than ten kilometers, there is a small river. Lieutenant General Jiyong stopped.  He stopped, wiped the sweat from his head, and listened carefully. He heard the sound of artillery coming from far behind. He knew that the more than 20,000 wounded imperial soldiers who stayed to block the attack had already called in with the pursuing independent division troops.  Fire!

    "I hope those brave Imperial soldiers can use their broken flesh and blood to block the pursuit of the independent division for as long as possible!" Lieutenant General Yoshinaga thought secretly, and then said to Chief of Staff Colonel Watanabe: "Watanabe  Sir, order all soldiers to immediately salute the more than 20,000 imperial warriors who are fighting! In addition, tell the soldiers that there is a source of cool and delicious water as long as they cross the mountains in front!"

    A source of cool and delicious water is far better than providing more than 20,000 people who are destined to be cannon fodder.The wounded companions saluted, which was more affordable and more attractive. After the salute, the remaining 60,000 soldiers of the Kwantung Army Border Guards marched significantly faster.
