Chapter 49 September 18th (3)
At 22:20 on September 18, 1931, the "9.18 Incident" broke out!
One hundred Japanese troops under the command of the Japanese army, the commander of the Squad Leader of Seihara, took on the task of capturing Sayamazuki, the strategic location of Beidaying.
Judging from the pre-information, this position defended by the Chinese Zheng Yong Company had no combat effectiveness. Although the number of soldiers more than doubled in the past year, their main purpose of increasing troops was only to deal with bandits.
The Kanto Army Intelligence Department once suggested that Zheng Yong's army had the possibility of surrender, but was rejected by the arrogant military commanders. They believed that the Chinese surrender were completely unnecessary, and the army of the Great Japanese Empire could also successfully capture Sayamazuko.
Narihara Masata even charged Sayamazuko without even asking for cover for artillery fire.
But it was completely unpredictable for the Japanese that the Chinese defenders on the Sayamazui position did not flee because of the outbreak of the war, but instead built an airtight fire net with the most violent firepower.
The Japanese soldiers at the forefront had not even had time to react and had fallen under the crazy rain of bullets.
In order to welcome this war that Zheng Yong had long expected, the Sashanzuizi position had been carefully arranged. The entire position was divided into six defensive areas in detail.
Every platoon, every squad, and even every soldier has his own special position.
The heavy machine guns on the main position, the light machine guns and rifles on the front and left and right wings, formed cross-fire power, and the flames emitted from the mouth of the muzzle woven into a suffocating death net.
Almost unreserved, Zheng Yong invested most of the strength of a company in the first attack of the Japanese army.
He didn't need any reservations. On this position, they had no reinforcements or reserve forces. The only thing they could rely on was themselves.
At 22:35, after a brief and fierce firefight, the Japanese army threw down twenty-one bodies in front of the Sayamazui position and retreated in a panic...
"It's just like that of the Eastern people, but it's not as terrible as before?"
"You know what the hell is." Hearing the soldiers around him, Ouyang Ping, the acting platoon leader of the 3rd platoon, snatched him out in anger:
"We have been preparing for so long, acting and building fortifications. The Japanese don't know the truth and the truth, so of course they have to suffer a big loss. When they come back to their senses, they can hold on until then."
At 22:55, the Japanese army bombarded Sayamazui.
The artillery fire was quite fierce, and soil and stone fragments kept splashing. A new recruit who had just joined the army could not bear such torture. He screamed at the scene and stood up alone. A cannonball exploded beside him, throwing him high. When he landed on the ground, he died...
"Lying on your lie down, you can lie down on your damn thing if you want to survive. Don't imitate that stupid bird!"
Ouyang Ping shouted at the top of his lungs.
The soldier who was killed was from the third platoon. He was not sorry for his subordinates being killed. He just wondered, with his own personality, how could he bring out such a life-and-death soldier?
At 23:05, Narihara Masata, who received reinforcements, launched another attack on Sayamazuko with two hundred troops.
The Japanese officers were always filled with stones. Faced with such fierce firepower from Sayamazuko, Masata Naruhara actually gathered 200 soldiers, arranged in neat formations, and launched an attack on the front position of Sayamazuko.
The frontal positions of the Type 13 79 heavy machine guns and the three Type 17 65 light machine guns were responsible for defense, which became an unforgettable nightmare for the Japanese army commanded by Masata Naruhara. The machine gunners fired bullets frantically without any consumption, and Japanese corpses fell on the front of the position.
This round of attack caused more than half of the Japanese army to suffer casualties, and even Masata Chenghara died in front of the position.
The firepower and defense intensity of the Sayamazui position were completely beyond the imagination of the Japanese commander. From the dense gunfire sounds everywhere, the Chinese army arranged at least more than ten machine guns on this small position.
"Damn Intelligence Department, Damn Intelligence Department!"
The squadron leader Kawashima Masataro looked at the Sayamazuko position with a angrily face, and kept saying, "Why, those damn intelligence personnel, why do the Chinese army on this position be vulnerable!"
"Squadron Captain, in addition to the main force of my Second Division, all the units of our independent garrison are preparing to attack Andong, Yingkou, Phoenix City and Changchun on the South Manchurian Railway. At the same time, the team stationed in General Lin Xianjuro of North Korea is also coming to reinforce. The headquarters ordered our unit to end the attack on Beidaying before 0:00 on the 19th!"
"Tell the headquarters that the firepower is too strong, the firepower is too strong!"
Kawashima said anxiously:
"I will ask for reinforcements again, and I will ask for reinforcements again! The Chinese people have concentrated at least more than two companies of troops in Sayamazui, and our troops cannot make a breakthrough! The task of ending the battle before zero is impossible to complete!"
"Squadron Captain, our army has launched an attack on the Beida Camp. Captain Shimamoto asks you to seize Sayamazuko immediately. Otherwise, Captain Shimamoto's flank will be directly attacked from Sayamazuko!"
"Concentrate all the troops and ask for artillery support!"
"Brush" and Kawashima took off his military uniform, raised his command knife, and shouted loudly with red eyes:
"For the victory of the Great Japanese Empire and the glory of the Empire, I will personally take you to charge and kill all the Chinese on the position. Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"
The most violent attack on Sayamazuko since the war began. Under the cover of crazy artillery fire, more than 200 Japanese troops temporarily gathered, led by Kawashima Shotaro, once again launched a desperate charge against Sayamazuko.
"Machine gun, machine gun, let me fight hard!"
Situ Dadao's loud voice kept reaching the ears of the soldiers in the first platoon. Their platoon leader personally sucked a machine gun and threw bullets at the Japanese army rushing up like rain.
At this time, Zheng Yong's voice sounded beside him;
Chapter completed!
