I really came here to fight against Japan

When Song Wenwan heard the chief of staff's regret, she asked in confusion, "Does the chief of staff want to see the miserable plight of the Japanese devils now?"

Seeing the chief of staff's approving look, Song Wenwan immediately gave the order.

"The Chief of Staff wants to see the dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers. Artillery company, turn on the lights for the Chief of Staff."

A voice came from a distance: "Commander, turn on a few lights? Hahaha..."

Song Wenwan said, "Stop talking nonsense and just turn on two bright enough lights."

The chief of staff was confused and was about to ask Song Wenwan if what they just said was Gansu’s slang.

Two "bangs" were heard in the darkness, and the artillery company fired two shells at the front of the position.

In an instant, the area about 500 meters in front of Commander Zheng’s position became as bright as day.

It turned out to be the artillery company, which fired two flares above the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

When the chief of staff took a look, he saw that the ground was indeed covered with corpses of Japanese soldiers.

At this time, the Japanese should have also seen the dismembered bodies of their own people.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite position from afar, there was also a commotion.

After a while, as if to vent their anger, they used the Type 92 heavy machine gun to fire a long burst of fire at the empty space on the battlefield.

Twenty seconds later, the artillerymen of the Xigan Artillery Company dispatched eight mortars on duty.

They fired three rounds at high speed at the position of the Japanese heavy machine gun just now.

In an instant, twenty-four artillery shells were fired, covering all the Japanese soldiers who were shooting.

The Japanese regiment commander had just returned from the detachment headquarters.

On his swollen face, there were still marks of the slap from the Japanese detachment commander.

One reason was that he failed to protect the detachment's only six remaining field guns.

One reason was that because of them, not only a large group of Japanese soldiers were killed.

Five tanks were also left in front of the Kuomintang position instead of being completely destroyed.

I heard that the Nationalist army was like thieves and even stole the Empire's tanks.

The Japanese detachment commander was so angry that he slapped him in the face.

He also ordered them to organize a night attack, taking advantage of the Nationalist army's victory, which might make them careless.

Let’s see if we can take down the Gui army’s defensive position by surprise and completely break into the village.

He had just assembled his troops when he heard the sound of firing from the heavy machine gun position outside.

The commander of the regiment was immediately furious: "Damn it, who allowed the heavy machine gun position to fire at will?

Immediately ask the captain of the heavy machine gun squadron to run over to see me.

If his recklessness delays tonight's night raid, I will show you how I will deal with him."

It's just a pity that he would never see that stupid captain of the machine gun squadron again.

In the first moment, the three heavy machine gun positions set up by the Japanese army were overturned by mortar shells.

The Japanese soldiers who were gathering a hundred meters away from the heavy machine gun position were frightened by this incident.

There were too many surprises today. First, all the heavy artillery was lost, and then the tank battalion was destroyed.

Finally, they watched helplessly as the soldiers of the First Battalion were beaten to death by the Chinese army.

The food has not been good these past two days and we are starting to run out of ammunition.

On the contrary, the strength of the Chinese military has suddenly increased by several levels.

The inability to adapt caused the once invincible imperial army to show extreme inability to adapt.

The consequence was that they reacted one minute slower than usual.

Before the wing commander ordered them to withdraw, they just opened their mouths wide.

He stared stupidly at his own heavy machine gun position, watching the sandbags and heavy machine guns turned into parts flying in the air.

Only half of a machine gunner's arm fell at their feet.

These numb little Japanese soldiers took half a step back reflexively.

The Japanese army was slow, but that didn't mean the Gan detachment was slow either. The artillery observers were also slow.

Through telescopes, they saw the Japanese heavy machine gun positions illuminated by artillery fire.

About a hundred meters behind the position, no one could be seen.

However, the sharp bayonets successfully betrayed the Japanese's hiding place.

The artillery observer of the Gansu detachment saw a lot of Xigan gunners coming out to watch the fun.

He immediately shouted: "There is an enemy, target the Japanese heavy machine gun position behind.

One hundred to two hundred meters away, we found a large number of Japanese troops gathering, and quickly covered them with artillery fire."

They were all veteran artillerymen. Some of them operated the guns and adjusted the angles, while others turned around and carried the shells from the back.

A minute later, mortar shells hit the Japanese soldiers who had already assembled.

The Japanese brigade commander was so exhausted that he could not even cry. It was only ten short minutes.

His heavy machine gun squadron and squadron leader, and most of his Second Infantry Battalion, were killed in battle!

Then came another piece of bad news: the captain of his second battalion committed seppuku.

The fighting over the past few days has caused the Japanese Second Battalion to lose nearly half of its troops.

Unexpectedly, as the main force of the Japanese night attack, hundreds of people were killed by the artillery of the Gan Detachment before they even started the action.

The Japanese captain looked at his men and saw that they had only about 200 men left.

About half of the soldiers suffered various injuries.

The old Japanese finally collapsed, thinking about what would happen if he went back.

He also had to endure the criticism of the stupid commander. It would be better to die, so he cut open his stomach.

The Japanese brigade commander was completely dumbfounded. He had no way of fighting this battle.

He had very few heavy weapons left, and his regiment had four battalions of infantry.

Now we can only barely gather one and a half battalions, less than 1,500 people.

With the newly arrived Chinese troops opposite them, they are not sure whether they can hold their positions tomorrow, let alone a night attack.

He had no other choice but to call the Japanese detachment commander again and ask for tactical guidance.

The chief of staff of the National Army also gave a thumbs up to the response of the Gansu Detachment's artillery.

This battle was fought so beautifully. It only took about ten minutes, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers died.

If this kind of battle report were reported, not only would the Ministry of National Defense in Wuhan not believe it, even the Gui army itself would not believe it.

Song Wenwan noticed the hesitation of the Chief of Staff and said to him, "Chief of Staff, I suggest that it is better to send the message in clear code.

Don't just say this is true. Even if it is false, you have to say it as if it is true.

After all, the Chinese people need such a victory, and the country also needs such a victory.

Moreover, if we really surrounded and annihilated this group of invading Japanese troops.

No matter how much the Japanese army's headquarters refuses to admit it, nothing will be a problem."

The national army was accustomed to reporting more casualties than the enemy, so that it would be easier to ask for rewards from their superiors after the war.

Later they discovered that the Japanese also had a problem of falsifying their battle records.

Clearly, they killed more than a thousand of them, but when it came to the newspapers, the Japanese only admitted that more than a hundred were killed or injured.

At first, the higher-ups thought that the Nationalist army had lied about its battle record.

Later we learned that the Japanese army refused to acknowledge its own casualties in order to save face.

This led to a strange phenomenon, just like what happened in northwest Shanxi a few years later.

The Yamazaki Battalion that broke into the Eighth Route Army base had only more than 500 people in total.

With the destruction of the Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese Army, the consequences of the Japanese Army's concealment of battle losses became apparent.

The chief of staff returned to the headquarters in high spirits. Before leaving, he specifically reminded the two of them to be careful of the Japanese devils' night attacks.

Song Wenwan's eyes rolled and he came up with another trick to deal with the Japanese.
