Chapter five hundred and thirty sixth helpless retreat
Thousands of rifles fired one after another, and the Japanese army rushed to the front and fell to the ground before they even fought.
At this time, the Liaodong Army, which had fired the bullets, had no time to re-plug the rifle.
He could only thrust his bright bayonet and follow his example to rush towards the Japanese army.
The two troops collided hard without any accidents. In this round of collision, because they did not have too many skills, the two sides suffered losses, with about one hundred people.
But when the two troops really fought each other, the gap emerged.
The Japanese army stood together in groups of three, holding back to back, holding bayonets, like a hedgehog, constantly stabbing and killing the Liaodong army around who wanted to kill him.
When the troops were unable to take the Japanese triangular formation, they could only be beaten passively.
The scouts and company platoon leaders who followed the infantry decisively entered the battlefield.
One of them rushed into the battlefield with a bullet-loaded pistol in his hand. As soon as he saw the Japanese army in groups of three, the people raised their pistols and fired at them.
The gun was fired at a distance of less than ten meters, and the one holding the gun was still the most elite reconnaissance unit of the Liaodong Army. It is conceivable that it took it.
Before the bullets were finished, the three Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground with a stunned face.
After killing these three Japanese troops, the scout didn't care about loading bullets. He pulled the trigger to another Japanese triangular formation not far away.
The remaining four bullets flew over and killed only two of the Japanese troops, but the remaining one was not much better.
As soon as the other two men were shot and fell to the ground, a huge gap appeared in the triangle formation. Several Liaodong soldiers surrounding him immediately assassinated him in the chest with rifles.
The cruel Japanese blocked the two bayonets from the front, but did not block the two bayonets behind them.
The bayonet emitting cold light stabbed directly into the back of his heart, killing him in an instant.
Before hundreds of scouts rushed into the battlefield, the triangular formations formed by the Japanese army had almost no enemies. The Liaodong army surrounding them had no other way except to worry.
The situation changed as soon as the scout joined the battlefield.
A triangular array without rivals was destroyed one by one.
In less than a few minutes, the total Japanese army's strength on the battlefield was reduced to 700 or 800 people.
At this time, seven or eight Liaodong soldiers stood around each triangular formation of the Japanese army, holding rifles, staring at them with alert faces, and launching raids on the Japanese army from time to time.
As for the scouts and battalion officers who had fired the bullets, they quickly replaced the pistol with a new magazine while the Japanese army was surrounded.
Soon, the scouts holding pistols fired again.
Seeing that people around him were shot and fell to the ground, the remaining Japanese troops also started to act fiercely.
In order to kill a few more Liaodong troops before their death, they decisively gave up the triangular formation and launched a counterattack against the surrounding Liaodong troops with a rifle alone.
The Japanese army fought so hard that the Liaodong army surrounding them was not a vegetarian.
Holding a rifle, he was unwilling to fall behind and crashed into the already crazy Japanese army.
As for assassination, neither Liaodong army nor Japanese army was a match. Therefore, the moment the two sides contacted each other, the Japanese army often stabbed the bayonet into the chest of the Liaodong army.
But the Liaodong Army had the advantage of military strength. Before the Japanese army could pull out the bayonet, four or five bayonets emitting cold light had already stabbed him.
The well-trained Japanese army decisively gave up their rifles to avoid them. He was good at ease and did dodge many bayonets. However, a bayonet was still stabbed into his thigh.
The thigh was injured, and no matter how capable the Japanese army was, they could only fall to the ground.
The Liaodong army who did not assassinate in one round was ruthless and took advantage of the injury of the Japanese army and temporarily lost its ability to resist, stabbed him again.
This time, the Japanese army was not so lucky, and three bayonets pierced into his body.
By exchanging life by human life, the Second Division took only ten minutes to eliminate all the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield.
When the Japanese army attacked the position, the Chief of Staff witnessed his own eyes that most of his infantry corps entered the Liaodong Army's position and fought with the Liaodong Army.
In the view of the Chief of Staff, in close combat, most of his corps were enough to kill a division of the Liaodong Army to retreat step by step. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the Chief of Staff had no intention of sending additional reinforcements.
However, as hundreds of Liaodong Army equipped with pistols joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed.
In less than a few minutes, more than half of the infantry regiment lost more than half.
At this time, even fools knew that unless a miracle happened, the remaining seven or eight hundred Japanese troops on the battlefield would never be able to defeat a division of the Liaodong Army.
The Chief of Staff did not want to get nothing after such a huge casualty.
Before he thought about it, Lieutenant General Murakami ordered two more infantry brigades to enter the battlefield to join the battle.
However, God did not intend to help him.
The Liaodong Army eliminated its seven or eight hundred subordinates too quickly. The battle ended shortly after the two brigades rushed out of the position.
The remaining Liaodong Army on the battlefield rushed back to the position before even cleaning the battlefield, preparing to block the two brigades they had just sent out!
No infantry regiment is an opponent of the Liaodong Army, let alone two infantry brigades.
While the two armies had not exchanged fire, the Chief of Staff decisively issued a retreat order, and then ordered the heavy artillery brigade to fire immediately and launch a retaliatory artillery fire strike on the defending positions.
In fact, the Second Master was not feeling well at this time.
After the shelling began, the casualties of each regiment were summarized one after another in Zhou Qiangsheng's hands.
"The Japanese army's individual combat effectiveness is indeed strong. We have drawn so many scouts to participate in the battle and suffered such great losses! More than 1,000 people were killed in battle, more than 200 people were seriously injured, and four or five hundred people were injured. In addition, the losses from the first two blockings were nearly 3,000 people, and almost 40% of the combat power of the entire division was gone like this!" Zhou Qiangsheng said with a heartache after reading the statistics.
The Chief of Staff was also heartbroken, but in order not to affect morale, he quickly comforted him: "Teacher, the brothers died without regrets. In a few hours, more than 7,000 Japanese troops died in our hands, and they also destroyed a heavy artillery corps. With such a result, the brothers who died in battle will surely rest in peace!"
"Also, the mission given to us by the commander has been completed. Should we retreat after the shelling is over?"
Chapter completed!
