I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 696: The Earth-shaking “Movement”

Although the deaths of many Japanese devils were all thanks to the artillery of the Jiangnan Militia Division.

But since the two sides were fighting in cooperation, Song Wenwan was willing to give away the credit.

Commander Qian's 73rd Army has finally succeeded this time.

If they could take advantage of the terrain this time and completely wipe out the Japanese Sixth Division, it would be a great achievement.

But they completely wiped out the Sixth Division of Dao Gu, and captured the commander of the Sixth Division alive.

Their contribution this time was huge. It was estimated that they would be greatly rewarded by the military attaché office during the post-war review and be listed as the anti-Japanese model of the temporary capital government.

Shiro Nodichi of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade thought he was a very fast runner.

But as the 7,000 remaining soldiers ran, they discovered something was wrong.

First, they encountered Kuomintang troops along the way, but they saw that they did not try their best to stop them.

They just wiped out a squadron or a team of soldiers and let them go.

But they couldn't resist because they encountered many numbers of Kuomintang troops.

The commander of the Yedao Brigade calculated in his mind that the Kuomintang troops they encountered actually numbered as many as two armies and more than twenty regiments.

By the time it was getting dark, they had successfully lost more than a thousand imperial soldiers.

Although the nationalist troops made way, they did not leave immediately.

They just watched the 9th Brigade from afar and followed slowly three kilometers away.

Commander Nodoka knew that this distance was beyond the range of the Type 92 infantry gun and mortar.

He also had a toothache, which showed that the Kuomintang troops were too cautious against their 9th Independent Brigade.

He also wanted to try to leave behind a squadron of Japanese soldiers to stop the national army.

However, Nodoshiro's actions were of no use at all.

The national army was also anxious and did not attack them forcefully. They just set up a dozen mortars and fired a preliminary shot as a courtesy.

Shiro Nodoka observed through the telescope and found that the squadron that remained had less than 150 people.

They were bombarded with precise mortar fire by the Kuomintang artillery.

More than fifty shells were fired in less than five minutes.

Few of the Japanese squadron that stayed behind to block the enemy had time to catch their breath.

Shiro Nodichi figured out that the National Army was using his sniper unit to help their artillery practice their accuracy.

Now he is heartbroken, and he doesn't know when all this started.

The brave warriors of our Wa Empire have become the prey of the Chinese army.

This actually reminded Ye Dao of what Red Shaanxi said on the radio station that year.

"If the enemy goes, we can go too. From today on, the offensive and defensive positions of China and Japan will change."

When he heard it before, he thought it was just a joke.

But now that he thinks about it, he himself is the biggest joke.

He also intended to lead the remnants of his brigade to counterattack the Nationalist troops behind him and eliminate the "tail" behind him.

This would have happened in the past, when he had six thousand elite soldiers under his command.

Under the cover of artillery fire, he was able to drive two armies of Kuomintang troops all over the fields.

But it’s no use now. Remnants are just remnants. The elite energy of his subordinates had long been destroyed by the large-caliber howitzers.

His current situation is so miserable that he doesn't even have a Type 92 infantry gun.

The remaining dozens of mortars were no match for the Kuomintang artillery.

Now he could only pretend that he could not see the pursuers behind him, and led the remaining soldiers to speed up and walk into the night.

They finally waited for the nationalist troops behind them to stop and eat.

Notori Shiro was not so lucky. He ordered his troops to speed up in order to escape from the pursuers behind him.

As for eating, that was a luxury for the Japanese who were fleeing.

"Run, all of you, run! Only after we cross the northern bank of the Miluo River can we have the right to eat in peace."

They ran for most of the night and finally arrived at the foot of a small hill at one o'clock in the morning.

Only after they saw that there were indeed no pursuers following them did they stop to catch their breath.

Although this place was sheltered from the wind, for safety reasons they did not dare to light a fire to boil some hot water to drink.

The soldiers of the 9th Mixed Brigade silently took the compressed biscuits that were distributed to them.

They took a bite of biscuits and a sip of ice water, swallowing them slowly.

Although compared to rice balls and salted fish, there is really no comparison at all.

But it’s good to have something to eat now. Eating now is much better than being a starving ghost.

Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? Starving ghost, what bad luck.

After finishing his meal, Nodoshiro stood up and walked to the slope alone.

He wanted to stand on a high place and use the moonlight to feel the stars in the night sky of Xiangbei.

The moon in this ancient country is so round!

Even the cold air here is filled with the fragrance of earth, which is intoxicating.

No wonder the Japanese emperor, the military and the palace, have spent generations trying to occupy this country. It is so desirable.

He took out a cigarette and just lit a match, trying to light the cigarette in his hand.

Unexpectedly, his hand holding the match suddenly froze there.

Ye Dao suddenly discovered in the moonlight that the field 200 meters away from him was full of fortifications dug by the National Army.

"boom"!

With a gunshot from the National Army, Nodoshiro was shot in the middle of the eyebrow.

All he had time to say in his mind was "Damn it, I was careless."

His consciousness had completely fallen into darkness.

The 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, led by Major General Shiro Nomichi, died!

With a single shot from the Kuomintang sniper, the entire Kuomintang position came alive.

"Dong dong dong..."

Dozens of flares were fired into the sky by the Kuomintang's mortars.

The small mound where the Japanese were hiding was immediately illuminated by the flares fired into the sky, making it as bright as day.

When the Japanese heard the gunshots, they saw their brigade commander had rolled down from the top of the slope, and their fate was unknown.

The first reaction of the Japanese soldiers from the 9th Independent Brigade was to climb up the hillside with guns in hand, looking for enemies in the dark.

But as soon as they appeared on the top of the slope, they were blinded by the flares in the sky.

But before they could react, the light and heavy machine guns on the Kuomintang positions had already started firing.

Because the national army in the distance was well prepared, their light and heavy machine guns had already found the trajectory.

Bullets fired, and more than two hundred Japanese soldiers who had just appeared on the hillside were knocked down in one fell swoop.

The Japanese soldiers rolled into the depression at the bottom of the hill to avoid the shooting of the Kuomintang machine guns.

A captain who happened to survive shouted loudly: "Mortar, target the machine gun position 300 meters away, fire!"

Unfortunately, the Japanese were just wishful thinking, and the mortar could not be fired.

They didn't even think about why the national army on the opposite side wanted to build positions on flat ground.

Why did they give the more advantageous high ground to the 9th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army?

This is also because the commander of the Nodomichi brigade died too early. The officers under him did not have the foresight of Nodomichi Shiro.

If the wild path was still there, his first reaction would be that there was something strange about this hillside.

Although this brigade commander, Shiro Nodo, doesn't seem to be very smart.

Then he would immediately give orders for his troops to evacuate quickly.

The Japanese soldiers behind the hill were still installing the mortar support.

The ground beneath the feet of these little Japanese devils was shaking, the kind of shaking that was earth-shaking and mountain-shaking.
