Battle of the Third Reich

Captain Hasegawa's character is a bit soft, but his character is very strong, so the officers and soldiers in the squadron usually obey his management. ●⌒, but the value of a commander is reflected in the ability to lead his subordinates to victory. Hasegawa’s commanding ability is very limited, so when the battle is fierce, the subordinates often turn a blind eye to the indecisive commander’s order. It hasn't had much impact in the fight against the wind, but once the adversity is encountered, the consequences will become unimaginable.

Hasegawa Squadron followed Morimoto's order and bypassed the a3 position to advance towards Tongdeng, with the intention of blocking the possible reinforcements sent by France. To tell the truth, this command does not meet the standard. Morimoto did not calibrate the specific distance Hasegawa Squadron should advance, nor did it clarify how to respond when the enemy is stronger than himself. If you replace it with Okubo, a straightforward but flexible commander, it’s not a big problem. Unfortunately, it’s Hasegawa who has a slightly stiff thinking, which directly led to a series of tragedies in the back, and finally ended. Morimoto's last hope.

After receiving the order, Hasegawa immediately started marching in the direction of Tongdeng with his troops. The journey was very smooth, and no longer encountered the French strongholds and blockhouses, and soon some independent houses appeared on the roadside. And buildings, the team exploring the road came back and reported that the prosperous Tongdeng District can already be seen from the highway. At this time, Hasegawa was unsure about whether to launch defense on the spot or simply drive into the city of Tongdeng. Do you want to send someone back to ask Morimoto? Looking at the thoughtful expression of the squadron leader, his men knew that the captain was ill again.

"Sir Squadron Leader, don't hesitate, it seems that the French should not have time to lay out their defense. This is our best chance to win Tongdeng, but we can't give up in vain." Lieutenant Shiraki, who is also the squadron's third squad leader Suggested aside.

"No need to wait any longer, we should move forward immediately! The squadron leader gave the order and rushed over to seize the same city." Lieutenant Tsutsui of the second squad also agitated loudly.

"But. The command of the captain is:" Hasegawa still has some doubts.

"Sir, squadron leader, isn't the goal of our trip to seize the same city? The squad leader will be very happy." Shiraki continued to work hard to convince himself this very awkward sir.

"Okay." Looking at the earnest expressions of several subordinates, Hasegawa finally nodded helplessly.

"Go ahead and speed up. March towards Tongdeng City." Shiraki shouted loudly.

"Go forward! Speed ​​up!"

"Run faster, we will win Tongdeng today!"

"Ha!" The soldiers agreed in unison, accelerating the march.

The officers and men of the Hasegawa Brigade were full of excitement for the establishment of a meritorious service, and hurriedly buried their heads and rushed into the same city, but they had not waited for them to approach the city. A burst of heavy fire fell on the squadron's head without warning. Numerous heads with snow-white barrel-like military caps suddenly appeared on the roadbeds on both sides of the road. These soldiers wearing sand-yellow tropical uniforms skillfully manipulated the weapons in their hands and launched a neat volley against the Japanese on the road. .

The Japanese army on the highway was caught off guard and instantly fell into a intensive bomb rain. The Japanese soldiers were too confident and unprepared to be prepared for the ambush. After being hit, they immediately became a mess and found them on the highway. Without even covering up, several rounds of volleyball came down, causing terrible casualties to the forward of Hasegawa Squadron.

A whole squad was shot down on the highway like a hunted animal. The two teams of the first squad forward didn't even have time to disperse. The soldiers' bodies remained in line during the march, neatly lying on the tarmac scorched by the afternoon sun. This happened so quickly that the Japanese soldiers of the latter team did not even understand what was going on, and the entire team was already reimbursed by their opponents neatly.

"Enemy attack! The teams are scattered!" The officers reacted and quickly shouted to order the soldiers to leave the road.

"Shooting!" Cao Miyamoto of the second squad, wielding his saber sword, commanded a machine gun group to fight back, trying to shoot the squadron. But then he and the machine gun group were blown into the sky by a mortar shell, and the flying stump held his saber in his hand.

"The enemy fire is very fierce, the squadron leader. We are ambushed." Shiraki shouted loudly lying beside Hasegawa.

"Order the troops to fight back! You are now going to command your squad, and now you have to stabilize the army."

"Master Squadron, are we going to retreat first." Shiraki made suggestions.

"Red deer, is this the time to retreat? Everyone in the army will be finished together!" Tsutsui is obviously more experienced. He yelled loudly.

"I took the second squad against the front, and you led the third squad from the flank. This is the way to survive in death."

"Lieutenant Tsutsui, you are doing so."

"Are you timid?"

"What are you talking about, you must be cautious about the tactics." The two captains did not care about what they were playing in front of them at this time, but they began to argue.

"Don't quarrel. Just follow Tsutsui's method." Hasegawa stopped the quarrel.

"But" Shiraki was still a little bit dissatisfied.

"The command given to us by the captain is to block the enemy's reinforcements. If we retreat without authorization, it will disrupt the deployment of the captain. First, persevere and send someone back to report the situation to the captain."

"My third team can find a favorable terrain in the rear to establish a blocking position, and then alternately cover the retreat with the second team." Shiraki continued to insist on his opinion.

"Lieutenant Shiraki, this is the command of the squadron leader, there is no room for discussion." Hasegawa said seriously.

"Your soldiers are fighting, waiting for you to command, and immediately follow my orders, otherwise I will change to lead the third team!"

"Understood, squadron leader." Shiraki hurriedly paid a military salute to Hasegawa, and then quickly ran to his third squad.

"Tsuai! It's up to you now. You must attract the enemy's attack and create opportunities for Shiroki's roundabout success." Hasegawa turned around and said to Tsutsui.

"Let me rest assured, squadron leader, we will definitely win." Tsui Jing saluted, and then rushed to the forefront. At this time, the battle between the two sides has entered a fierce state, and the second team of Tsutsui is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of terrain and firepower. Only relying on the usual strict training and the soldier's tenacious will can withstand the opponent's attack, and even repel the opponent's small-scale charge.

"What kind of troops are they so good at fighting?" The only remaining sergeant bridge cao in the squad enquired Tsutsui while covering the wound on his arm for a machine gunner.

"It should look like a French foreign legion. All of them are foreign soldiers hired by the French. They are said to be villains and criminals in exile."

"That's right. Their guns were shot accurately. Okay, Ogawa. Isn't your injury serious? Can you continue to fight?" The bridge tightened the bandage hard, and then knotted skillfully.

"Report to Master Cao, no problem, I can shoot a gun." The machine gunner replied loudly.

"be careful."

"Follow the orders, Master Cao, Master Captain." The machine gunner saluted the two of them, and then crawled out of the trench and crawled towards the machine gun position not far away.

"The opponent looks like there are at least two teams, maybe there are more behind, they also have artillery cover. There are also many troops on the flanks, I am worried that the roundabout operation of the third team is not easy to succeed." The bridge frowned at Tsutsui Said his own opinion.

"Even if we know we can't do it, we have to try it. If we don't even have the courage to try it, what other face is wearing this military uniform. The Imperial Army has relied on this spirit of not afraid of losing to fight to the present, in exchange for the lives of countless soldiers. Heweiwei, you have to remember that even if it is dead, we can’t lose the soul of an imperial warrior. In the face of strong enemies, we want to assault! Keep assaulting! Assault until you can no longer wield your sword. Do you understand?" Tsutsui patted the bridge's shoulder and cheered his subordinates loudly.

"Ha! Master Captain, I understand."

"Senior Lieutenant!" At this time, a subordinate soldier cat ran over from the back with his waist, turned quickly and jumped into the dirt ditch hidden by Tsutsui.

"Sir Lieutenant. The squadron leader ordered to retreat immediately."

"What! Why retreat!" Tsutsui asked eagerly, grabbing the arm of the herald.

"The third squad, the third squad did not reach the starting position, the captain Shiroki retreated with the third squad without authorization."

"Nani! Shiraaki coward! Ma Luyelang! How can you repair! I fled before the battle, I will cut him down by hand." Tsutsui pushed away the herald soldiers, pulled out his saber and chopped the mound beside the ditch. He vented his anger.

"Sir captain, what shall we do." Bridge heard anxiously, the first squad has been completely destroyed, the third squad is their only backup, now the third squad has thrown everyone away, and now the second squad It is equivalent to an independent confrontation with the fierce foreign army opposite. The Tsutsui team has lost a lot of soldiers, and only one shot barrel and one machine gun are left. Once the enemy forces launch a full-scale attack, the second team cannot survive at all.

"Reply to the squadron leader, the enemy is very strong, we can't withdraw anymore. The second squad will launch an assault to cover the squadron's evacuation, the squad will fight to the last person, and will definitely not shame the honor of the tenth squadron , I wish the squadron leader Wu Yun a long time, Zhujun Jiuduanban goodbye."

"Got it, I will tell the squadron leader, I wish Master Lieutenant martial arts for a long time." Herald soldier is a cheerful character, he salutes at Tsutsui, jumped out of the trench, and stooped to the place where he came.

"Sir Captain" Bridge heard the words of Tsui, he looked at each other with a complex expression.

"Put the news on, let's die here today."

"Ha! Master Captain." Daqiao bowed respectfully to Tsutsui, and turned over the trench.

Tsutsui took out the handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped off the dirt on the saber. Then he took off the helmet and took the battle cap on his head.

"Everyone come with me!" Tsutsui jumped out of the dirt trench, stepped on the roadbed with a foot, waving a shiny saber in his hand.

"Tuzi give it! Meyer!" Then the saber pointed forward, flew up onto the road, and rushed toward the position of the foreign army opposite.

"Tuzi give it!"

"Onboard!"

"Stupid local pot store onboard!"

"Tiannao Black Card onboard!"

The surviving soldiers in the squad led out of their respective shelters under the leadership of military cao and Wu Chang, shouted slogans, followed the figure of the captain, and launched the final charge towards the foreign legion.

What happened to surprise the Japanese soldiers happened immediately. The enemies on the opposite side did not shoot, but jumped out of their positions. They launched a counterattack against the Japanese army with a rifle carrying a spear. Those soldiers wearing sand-yellow short-sleeved uniforms and shorts with leggings, holding a Lebel rifle with a long four-sided spur, had no fear in his black face.

At the forefront were the local tribe soldiers recruited by French Morocco. The bravery and warfare saw honor as life. These people were touched by the fearless charge of the Japanese army. They decided to give their opponents a fair confrontation and give these brave enemies a glory. Ending. In front of the soldiers of the French Foreign Legion flooding like a tide, the small group of Japanese soldiers in Tsutsui was like a wave of waves, drowned in the waves quickly.

After Lieutenant Tsutsui cut down two foreign legionnaires one after another, he was overthrown by a third soldier, and then the Moroccan soldier was cut alive with an Arabian dagger alive, not far from his headless body. The broken body of the bridge soldier was within half a minute before the whole team of Tsutsui was destroyed. These Moroccans shot very hard and left no one alive.

The foreign legions did not stop, they quickly moved forward along the road and began to pursue the part of the enemy who had fled. (To be continued.)
