Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 439: A head-on blow

According to the time calculation, the landing troops had already approached the landing site, but there was no sound of gunfire. Matsui Iwane's face became calmer and calmer.

Before the forward division set off, the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke said to Matsui with concern: "Your Excellency, Commander, our division has landed on the beach. There is no heavy firepower to cover the landing of the troops and suppress the firepower of the Chinese defenders. Once the Chinese army launches a counterattack,

, on an open beach without cover, the troops will suffer serious losses, so I suggest that the heavy artillery brigade follow the first echelon and provide necessary fire support."

Matsui smiled reservedly, without commenting, and turned his eyes to the roaring sea, which was equivalent to rejecting Yoshizumi's suggestion. Yoshizumi Ryosuke was speechless. Who made this old guy the commander? It was unprecedented to let soldiers carry rifles to land.

Unheard of, I hope the Chinese defenders are still dreaming, otherwise, my division will be doomed.

In fact, the actions of the Japanese army at sea fell into the eyes of the high-altitude watch posts, which immediately reported to the commander of the Ninth Group Army, General Zhang Zhizhong. General Zhang immediately entered the headquarters and paid close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

The landing location chosen by the Yoshizumi Division happened to be in the Wusong area defended by two brigades of the Tenth Army. Chang Feng saw all the actions of the Japanese army. He ordered the troops not to shoot unless they saw the flares. Yoshizumi

Liangsuke was uneasy, the landing craft had already docked, and there was no movement at all on the beach.

The soldiers waded through waist-deep water and landed on the beach. There was still no movement. There were only barbed wire fences standing there coldly. Yoshizumi relied on his military intuition. It was too abnormal. There was no such thing on such a large beach.

Even a China garrison, even an idiot, cannot reach this level. There must be a conspiracy here, maybe it is a big trap. He does not have the arrogance of the old guy Matsui.

The laughter of the soldiers came from the front. The barbed wire fence erected by the Chinese soldiers was like a child's game. You can cross it with just one jump. I am afraid that the Chinese soldiers have not yet learned how to set up beach obstacles. The Japanese soldiers ran a few steps as if in a competition.

, soared into the air, the low barbed wire passing by beneath him, and he couldn't help laughing proudly while he was in the air.

There was severe pain in the soles of the feet, and the laughter stopped abruptly. The Japanese soldier sat down on the ground, screamed again, and suddenly sat on the nail board again, with holes in his buttocks. The unlucky man looked around and saw that he

I was happy again. It turned out that he was not the only one. The friends who crossed the barbed wire fence first were all of the same character, grinning and holding their feet.

This small injury was a big surprise to the samurai of the Empire of Japan. He stood up and was about to continue charging. His companions behind him had already surpassed him. His first attempt was about to fail. His thighs softened and he fell heavily to the ground.

It seemed that he was no longer on his body, and he had no feeling at all. The wound no longer hurt, but it was itchy, numb, and swollen before his eyes.

The nail board in front of the first barbed wire fence knocked down more than a thousand Japanese soldiers. The second nail board knocked down even more people. The Japanese soldiers who wanted to serve His Majesty the Emperor did not even notice what was behind them.

What happened was just before

It was the prosperous Shanghai, full of golden tickets and beauties, charging forward like mad dogs. There were three thousand soldiers falling to the ground, covering their feet and wailing. This finally caught the attention of the Japanese commander, who immediately ordered a stop.

go ahead.

The Japanese military doctor who came over looked at the soldier's red and swollen thighs and couldn't figure out the reason. He was helpless. Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who was the last to land and had already arrived on the beach, slapped him hard several times and cursed "pig" repeatedly.

"In his opinion, this was a bad start. Hundreds of nail boards were dug out around the wounded Japanese soldiers.

Looking at these people's nail boards, Yoshizumi cursed the Chinese people for being cunning. All the soldiers from Yoshizumi's division had come ashore and crowded in front of the barbed wire fence. The density of the crowd had greatly increased. However, a regiment commander figured out a way to move the barbed wire fence.

Obstacles were cleared and a passage was opened. A passage more than two hundred meters wide was cleared, and no less than several hundred nail boards were dug out.

The Japanese commander wiped the sweat from his head, laughed proudly, waved "Hayagu", and the Japanese troops in the brigade rushed to the beach very quickly.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, like a barrage of cannons, and steel balls and landmine fragments flying in the sky enveloped the Japanese army like a torrential rain. Moreover, the landmine seemed to have wings, flying into the air and exploding. The unlucky Japanese soldiers' faces were

It was filled with steel balls, and the eyeballs hung on the face and dangled. It covered its face and rolled on the ground, wailing in pain, and triggered many landmines.

The Japanese troops in front were attacked from the air, but the Japanese troops in the back were suffering from the underground. When there was an explosion, several Japanese soldiers were thrown into the air, and their bloody and broken legs turned into mud. The Japanese troops were flying all over the sky.

A strange scene occurred on the battlefield. The minefield came into play. Four-fifths of a regiment of Japanese troops were killed by nail boards and landmines. The rest were covered with wounds and lost their combat effectiveness.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke's heart was in severe pain. He had not yet seen the shadow of the Chinese defenders. One of his main regiments was abandoned on the beach. The bloody and broken corpses of the soldiers stung his nerves and it was impossible to retreat.

Going back, we can only continue the attack along the passage opened by the soldiers with the corpses. There are still two regiments of troops. We must tear the Chinese defenders to pieces and chop off their heads to pay homage to the heroic spirit of the Yamato samurai.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers swarming up, they were blown away by landmines from time to time, but they also rushed through the minefield. Chang Feng had a sarcastic smile on his lips. This kind of Tang Qiuli's signature smile, he had worked at the ** Division Headquarters.

There is no one who can't do it. The Japanese commanders are either crazy or extremely arrogant. In such a large-scale landing operation, without artillery cover, and using pure infantry to land, it is like banging your head against the iron plate, and you will live impatiently.

Got it

It's time, the mines have been almost exhausted, Chang Feng ordered to fire flares, the silent beach suddenly became furious, the light and heavy machine guns roared like a roar, they were indistinguishable like the wind, a metal wall made of bullets

, crashed head-on into the Japanese army brigade on the beach, and the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were defeated in pieces.

The formation of the Japanese army was too dense. More than 38,000 people were squeezed into a front that was only a few kilometers wide. The mortars did not need to be aimed at the Japanese army. They just fired at the Japanese army. One shell pulled up a bunch of people and the Japanese soldiers

As expected, he was so brave that he lay down on the spot and raised his gun to fight back. However, the rifle was the opponent of nearly a thousand light and heavy machine guns. It didn't even have enough range, and was beaten to pieces.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese heavy machine guns and mortars on the landing craft desperately used firepower to support the landing troops who were suppressed on the beach and were beaten and unable to fight back. As a result, they attracted locust-like shells. The gunners and shooters were blown to pieces and sank into the sea. The sea was full of burning Japanese landing craft. Several landing craft felt that the situation was over and turned around to escape.

How could such a cheap thing happen? It fell into Chang Feng's calculation. No one was spared. Dozens of artillery shells roared over and sank them on the sea. Chang Feng was very smart and did not use large-caliber heavy artillery. He It was discovered that not only did the Japanese landing force not make artillery preparations, but they did not even have artillery to provide suppression and support, so they decided to attack the Japanese landing force with mortars and the Type 92 infantry cannon to hit the Japanese landing craft.

More than an hour later, more than 38,000 soldiers of the Yoshizumi Division were all buried on Wusong Beach. This was a one-sided massacre. The Japanese army without artillery cover had no power to fight back. Even with the spirit of Bushido, No matter how brave they are, they can't withstand artillery shells and bullets, and the Army Division has always been known for its superior firepower.

The corpses of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the beachhead were piled thickly. They were killed by Somi submachine guns at close range. The Japanese soldiers using the Type 38 rifle fired a bullet and pulled the bolt to load the bullet. During this time, at least a dozen bullets from the Somi submachine gun were fired into his body. Therefore, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were not only hit by one bullet, but were covered in holes.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke could no longer command his division. He had made great achievements in China for Emperor Hirohito's ambition and greed. Several mortar shells tore this Army Lieutenant General and Division Commander of the Empire of Japan to pieces. There was no complete body found at all. Only half of the body had two dim general stars, indicating that it was once part of Yoshizumi Ryosuke's body. Even the gold-wrapped command sword was blown into several pieces. .

His ambition and murderous intention were destined to disappear here the moment he landed on the beach in Shanghai, China. The corpses of Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the beach. The beach was dark red, and a wave of seawater surged in, and there were streams of blood. , dyed the sea water reddish, and also took away some of the corpses of Japanese soldiers, gradually floating into the depths of the sea. The direction of the floating direction was the Japanese archipelago. However, can their souls return to their homeland?

Part of Matsui Iwane's Shanghai Expeditionary Force, the perpetrators of the shocking massacre in Nanjing, were terminated here in advance before their butcher knives were drawn out and stretched out to innocent Chinese civilians, with their rampant desires and addictions. The ambition of blood turned into cold corpses. Maybe they did not understand the universal truth that those who kill will be killed. To this day, the vast majority of Japanese people still do not understand this truth.

The battle mainly took place in the defense zone of the Tenth Army. The friendly forces on both sides watched the fierce battlefield nervously. However, they soon discovered that the battle was one-sided, and the Japanese army was like a rat that had been doused with boiling water. , without the power to fight back, the ferocity of the Tenth Army's firepower was beyond their imagination. The heavy machine guns were like wind, and the shells were like hail. These soldiers of the Central Army could only describe it this way. .

With more than 30,000 people against nearly 40,000 Japanese troops, all the Japanese troops were wiped out. Not even the lieutenant general division commander escaped. The Tenth Army had less than 300 casualties. It was a complete victory. It was a miracle. It was simply a miracle.

General Zhang Zhizhong, who had witnessed the entire battle, was so excited that he threw his telescope aside. In the headquarters, he did not care about losing his composure, waving his fists and shouting loudly in front of the large and small staff.
