Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 59 The fight begins

The cause of the whole incident was very simple. A squad from the Fourth Garrison Battalion went out to rob this morning, and their target was that village. In the past, they would have gone in to rob and come back. Today, when they were robbing, several men came out and killed a Japanese soldier. The people in this squad brutally killed all the people in the village.

After returning, the captain listened to their report but didn't say anything. After all, such things were nothing in their eyes, and they often did similar things in the Northeast.

"You bastards, look who you have provoked here." The garrison battalion captain Teng Tiangang cursed.

"Sir Captain, there are only a few thousand security guards outside. We are the brave warriors of the Empire of Japan. We are not afraid of them. It is no problem for us 2000 people to attack their tens of thousands." said one of the squadron leaders who had just come over from the Kwantung Army. They did not encounter any resistance in the Northeast.

He still wanted to rush out, he really didn't know how he would die. Fujita Tsuyoshi looked at several squadron leaders helplessly. These people were all the elite of the Kwantung Army. They had never encountered any decent opponents in the interior of the country. They had no idea how terrifying these security groups were.

Fujita Tsuyoshi had once studied the weapons and equipment of the security corps. Although he was not sure about the exact number, everything he saw before him made him understand that at least the weapons and equipment of his Fourth Garrison Battalion were inferior to those of others.

Although the Empire boasted about how powerful their weapons were, their own people knew their own shortcomings. The weapons developed by the Japanese were indeed not that good, just like the Nambu pistol in his hand. This pistol could not even break through thicker wooden boards and had serious bullet jams, almost becoming a single-shot pistol. Look at the Mauser pistol. The reason why this pistol was not equipped on a large scale in Europe was mainly because it was too expensive. The gun box for this gun was made of wood. As long as it was taken off and slightly modified, the gun could be turned into a micro submachine gun. The gun box could be turned into a buttstock, which could greatly improve the accuracy.

Through the telescope, one can see at least ten Type 2000 infantry guns, and more are being pulled in from afar. It is really unknown how many of these guns they are equipped with. With more than people, there are only eight guns.

The performance of the Czech light machine gun is much better than that of the Type 99 light machine gun. Many imperial soldiers have complaints about the Type 99 light machine gun, but since they have been issued this type of machine gun, there is nothing they can do but not use it.

The gap between the Type 30 heavy machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun is even greater. The Type 250 heavy machine gun uses a -round magazine, while the Maxim heavy machine gun uses a -round belt feed. There is no comparison in terms of firepower sustainability.

"Colonel, these damn Chinese have blew up our telephone lines and communications have been completely cut off." The communications staff came to report.

"Nonsense, this is the first thing to do in a tough battle. Order the cavalry squadron to charge out immediately." He did not ask the communications squad to go out to inspect the lines, because anyone who went out at this time might die outside. The cavalry has been abolished in the armies of European countries today, but the Japanese believe that cavalry is still very useful, so they retained the cavalry.

Japan's cavalry units could be said to have unimpeded access across China. When the cavalry faced infantry, especially when the infantry was at a disadvantage, it was a one-sided victory.

The cavalry squadron immediately rushed out after receiving the order. What they didn't know was that they would never come back this time, and Fujita Tsuyoshi was just using them as a bargaining chip to test the enemy's firepower.

Several staff officers nearby wanted to stop this, but they thought that there would have to be sacrifices. Would the infantry go out to test the firepower of the security team? That would definitely cause more casualties.

"Fire at the 85th position, left side of the target." The artillery company's six artillery pieces and six mortars were simultaneously aimed at the cavalry squadrons that were rushing out.

In modern warfare, if you have an absolute advantage, releasing the cavalry is absolutely necessary to expand the results of the battle. However, the situation is unclear now, and releasing the cavalry will make each large target a sitting duck.

The 98k sniper rifle with a scope also opened fire. After all, the cavalry targets were so big that he could always hit them by either hitting the people or the horses.

In the first minute of the battle, 198 of the 32-man cavalry squadron were killed by artillery fire and another 17 were killed by sniper bullets.

The war between the Japanese and the Chinese has been going on for a long time, but they have never encountered a Chinese army with such strong firepower.

The first cavalryman turned around and ran back 100 meters away from the town. The education of the Japanese army can be said to be successful. There were very few prisoners and very few retreats on the battlefield, but that was when they were about to win a battle. Now they were about to fail, and a sense of failure began to grow in their hearts.

"Did you see that? The Japanese are also afraid of death. They are all born by their parents. A single artillery shell will kill a large number of them." said Sun Desheng, the newly appointed commander of the artillery company.

Sun Desheng graduated from a regular artillery school and had also trained in the 29th Army for a period of time. In standard terms, this was a combination of academics and practice. If he were in a well-supplied unit, he would definitely be an elite. Unfortunately, the 29th Army did not have that many artillery pieces but had so many artillerymen.

People like Sun Desheng are also the favorites of the 29th Army, but no matter how favorite they are, they are no match for two mortars.

In this way, he was transferred to the position of artillery company commander of the security regiment.

After more than a month of training, I dare not say that the artillery company is able to hit every target, but it looks like an artillery company.

During this month, there was an unlimited supply of artillery shells. This kind of cheating mode was something that none of the officers and soldiers had expected. In the past, even if you had artillery shells, you could only fire once or twice. Wanting to play like this? You wouldn't dare to dream of it. Most artillery soldiers learned it on the battlefield, so their skills were very unfamiliar.

The Japanese cavalry at the scene were defeated and they wanted to run back. The cavalry charge was different from that of infantry. The cavalry was too big a target. If they moved forward bravely, they might be able to break through the enemy's defense line. But if they ran back, the horses' butts and their own backs would be the best targets for the enemy.

The soldiers on the front line would naturally not give up this good opportunity. The heavy machine guns fired their bullets as hard as they could, and some snipers equipped with scopes also began to shoot the cavalry on a large scale.

"Damn it! These guys don't deserve to be called heroic soldiers of the Empire of Japan. They actually ran away." Fujita was so angry that he drew out his command knife and was about to order the supervision team next to him to kill all those who ran back. However, he had no chance. The security soldiers on the opposite side had already done the job. Not even the last person came back. The entire cavalry squadron was wiped out.

Mao Yuanshan was not thinking about this matter. He kept sighing in his heart. It would be great if he could kill all the people and leave the horses. In this era, horses are the best means of transportation. He hasn't unlocked a car yet, and logistics supply has been very troublesome recently. If he had these horses, he could do a lot of things.

The three squadrons coming from the Kwantung Army were silent now. At the beginning, they were still able to show their courage, but when they saw the cavalry squadron going over without even a bubble, and there was zero casualties on the opposite side, they were completely wiped out. These security regiments were indeed different from other Chinese soldiers, and their firepower was really fierce.

Fujita Tsuyoshi can see further than the people below. These security corps soldiers are not only fierce in firepower, but also have a belief, as can be seen from their fighting spirit, or it can be said that the security corps soldiers all have a spirit. They all understand who they are fighting for, and they are all super confident and believe that they can win.

The cavalry squadron was completely wiped out, which had a huge impact on the morale of the security regiment. They all looked at the corpses lying on the ground in front of them, and thought to themselves, it was just as the regiment commander said, as long as we get serious, the Japanese will not be our match.

"Commander, a Japanese officer is coming with a white flag." The forward observation post said loudly.

"Haha, these little Japs rarely raise the white flag. It would be great if we had a camera to take a picture and let the sniper kill them. We don't accept any form of peace talks and we must get rid of all the members of the Fourth Security Battalion." Mao Yuanshan's words were immediately known to all the soldiers in the regiment. Everyone felt that this was very encouraging. Our security corps is not someone that anyone can mess with, and you can't negotiate with us Chinese just by killing us. Since you want to negotiate, that's fine. Wait until we kill you and then we can have a good talk with your ghosts.

"The artillery fire begins to extend." Following the order from our commander Mao, dozens of artillery pieces fired at the same time. This was the first time in this era that such a large-scale artillery attack was carried out in this place. In the distance, there was an observation team of the 29th Army, all of whom were company commanders. They felt sorry when they saw the firepower of the security regiment. If we had 1/10 of this during the Great Wall War of Resistance, so many brothers would not have died.

"Colonel, we can't keep sitting here and waiting to die. We have lost more than half of our artillery. There is no way we can fire back at the enemy's artillery. If we continue to hold on here, I'm afraid the final result will be..." said a squadron leader of the Kwantung Army. The area defended by his squadron was directly confronted with the Security Corps. After one round of shelling, not a single enemy was killed, and one-third of the enemy had been killed or injured. The death toll was still rising. Judging from the posture of the artillery of the Security Corps on the opposite side, they had no intention of stopping.

"Even if we all die in battle, we must not retreat. We must not retreat because of the despicable Chinese." The captain said arrogantly.

The soldiers of the Kwantung Army were all veterans, and they understood that this meant they would be destroyed with honor.

Just when Mao Yuanshan was preparing to wipe out the Fourth Garrison Battalion step by step, a 2000-mm mortar from the Second Company below hit the jackpot. A shell hit their arsenal, and more than men's ammunition, enough to last for a month, exploded at that moment. All the security soldiers present dared to swear that this was the most beautiful fireworks they had ever seen.

"Damn it, this is too powerful. I couldn't hear anything just now. How much ammunition did the Japanese store? But it's okay. I can just make a homemade plane for you without wasting any of it." Zhang Dashan said while cursing. The huge explosion just now really made him and his men unable to hear temporarily.
