Chapter 402: Bad luck and explosion
2 a.m.!
In the wilderness in Jiangnan, in the middle of two hills, a bright bonfire burned, illuminating the face of the Colonel Sano Tota, the 23rd Infantry Brigade, who was sitting around the bonfire, was illuminated by the face of the Colonel Sano Tota.
As a confidant general of Niushima Mitsuma, Sano Tota knew his ambitions of his direct superior. If that person could get on the rank, his position could not be increased for the time being, but his voice in the division would definitely be greatly improved.
Therefore, he spared no effort to pursue the main Chinese forces in this battle.
During the afternoon crossing the river battle, two infantry squadrons were sent out in one go, but most of them were killed in battle.
But that's OK.
The soldiers' damage to the war can be supplemented. It is important to let His Excellency Nishima Mitsuhiro know his loyalty.
Now, he led the 23rd Infantry Regiment to the forefront of the entire army and was the arrow of the entire army.
As long as he catches up with the Chinese, he will become the highest commander of the first combat force with the Chinese. He can also guarantee that his 23 infantry regiment will definitely become the most proud of those who make the brigade commander.
However, when will we truly catch up with the Chinese? Is it tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? Sano Tota has no clue in his heart.
Even though the clear traces on the ground indicate the direction of chasing the Chinese, they did not go the wrong way.
The weather should be very good tomorrow, otherwise why are the stars so bright tonight?
I just don’t know if the imperial army was forced to stop marching in the dark and the Chinese who were chased stopped. This is the real main reason why the Japanese Army Colonel was anxious that he had not fallen asleep yet.
Perhaps, the only thing that made the Japanese colonel feel at ease in such anxiety is that the Chinese are fleeing wildly, and this place has become the world of the imperial army. Otherwise, how could he enjoy the warmth of the bonfire on this late autumn night?
Such a bright bonfire is everywhere in the hills and wilderness. He personally ordered it, hoping to give the soldiers who have been running for a day a warm sleep and nourish their energy, so that they can increase their pursuit speed again tomorrow.
Habitually tightened the collar of the military coat wrapped tightly, the Japanese Army Colonel chose to leave the warm bonfire and walked out of the hill with several guards.
This is the old habit of Tota Sano. If he can't sleep, he will personally inspect the field camp. He can not only take a walk or a walk, but also improve his reputation in the wing.
What a diligent Colonel! Sano Tota enjoys this kind of looking up from the bottom.
Then, the Japanese Army Colonel, who had already had anxiety disorder, met a guy who made him unhappy.
"Baga! Yours, why don't you go out to patrol?" If Sano Tota hadn't had a little slight sense, he would have pulled out his sword and slashed the captain infantry squadron leader who was standing in front of him with a red face and drunken body.
As the captain of the colonel, I was anxious and couldn't sleep during the war. What a captain of your army, who actually drank and ate meat here?
Seeing the half of the hare roasted until golden and fat dripping on the bonfire, Sano Tota was not mentally unbalanced at that moment, so he saw the ghost.
"Hi!" The Japanese captain did not dare to refute the captain of his colonel, so he could only bow his head and slapped him.
Seeing that his subordinates were still honest and respectful, Sano Tota felt a little relieved. He looked up at the dark wilderness around him. "Although the empire has basically won the victory in this battle, our army has not yet wiped out the pursued enemy troops. It is far from time to raise a glass to celebrate. You must not be lazy because of this!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese captain continued to bow his head. If possible, he would rather bury his head in his crotch so that his anxious Colonel would not see his big face that was reddened by alcohol.
Sano Tota no longer scolded the captain who was like a good baby, turned around and prepared to walk to another place.
Behind him, his guards should have already raised the hare that was roasted until golden and fragrant. For the next three hours, he might be able to drink some sake with rabbit meat.
Of course, the Japanese Army Colonel facing the darkness would not see it. In the dark night, 500 meters away from here, a man wearing a branch camouflage clothes was staring at him "feelingfully" through the telescope.
"It's just a colonel! God is too shameless." Tang Dao was very disappointed and vomited off the straw bar biting in his mouth.
Yes, for a super special forces soldier who took huge risks to leave the command center and lurked into the area where the Japanese army was located, not only did he not find the command of the 10th Army of the Japanese army, but he also did not find the division headquarters at the next level, and even the brigade headquarters. He could only describe it as a bad luck that exploded.
In fact, it was not that Tang Dao had bad luck, but that Yanagawa Heisuke once again believed in his intuition.
The highest commander of the 10th Japanese Army, who was hiding because Tanisuo was lurking and sniping, placed his army headquarters south of the bridge, and sent his three divisions under his command to stay south of the bridge like him before dawn, and the brigade headquarters must lower the specifications and merge with the infantry corps headquarters to prevent being taken advantage of by the cold gunmen lurking in the dark of the Chinese.
It was Yanagawa Heisuke's move that caused the ambition of Tang Dao, who turned around and planned to add another fatal wound to the top Japanese army, to fail.
However, I couldn't eat meat and finally took a sip of the soup.
Tang Dao looked at the Japanese Army Colonel who had already planned to leave the bright bonfire and the several Japanese officers standing honestly behind him, and turned around and took out a 'big guy' from behind!'
If Colonel Sano Tota's eyes were good enough to see through the night 500 meters, they would definitely be blinded.
That guy is really not an ordinary big guy.
It was a 20-year-old 82MM mortar in China, produced by Jinling Arsenal, China.
It is the heavy weapon equipped by the Chinese troops the most, and it is also the only guy in the Chinese front-line troops who can compete with the 92 infantry artillery equipped by the Japanese brigade-level troops in this war.
Whether in North China or Southeast, the Japanese army had the upper hand in the Chinese army, but when facing this unique 82MM mortar, the Japanese army was beaten a lot.
This type of gun is really too light. An artillery team will run away when they are brought up and fire when they are put down. It is far more flexible in the Type 92 infantry cannon weighing 180 kilograms.
However, the so-called flexibility is relative to an artillery team with at least five people!
If you think about getting a lieutenant general or a major general, it is certainly not enough to rely on a gun alone.
Not to mention that the Japanese Army Colonel who could not see this scene could not understand, he even watched Lu Sanjiang and the five cavalrymen who were carrying 68 kilograms of 82 on their backs, then hung two shells on their waists, and finally disappeared from their sight.
When they were ordered to carry this mortar weighing 68 kilograms, they never thought that Chief Tang would use this big guy as a single weapon?
Two soldiers who followed him also became his mobile ammunition depot.
In addition to two rifles, Niu Er carried another 3 4-kilogram shells. Xia Dayu originally bit her back three, but two of them were quickly placed on his waist by Tang Dao.
Tang Dao's weight was terrible than 70 kilograms, not counting the two knives he was stuck in his legs.
Of course, this is also the first time Tang Dao has fully demonstrated his strength as a soldier king after coming to this time and space, after he completely controls this body.
The power contained in the young body is comparable to his peak.
Tang Dao gestured with his hand to calculate the distance. After 20 seconds, he threw the shell into the cannon barrel.
"Bang!"
"Captain Aoyama, please perform your squadron leader's duties!" Sano Tota was quite pretentious and just threw down his order, he turned his eyes to the distance in confusion.
The sound was 340 meters per second, which was far faster than the initial speed of mortar shells of 212 meters per second. The Japanese Army Colonel seemed to hear the sound of the mortar shells being ejected.
No, not as if, but certain.
After a loud bang of 'boom!'.
