Chapter 440: The Madness of Little Japan
Chapter 440: The Madness of Little Japan
In the defensive battle in the middle lane, Ye Feng almost single-handedly blocked the enemy on the south bank of the Panshui River.
There are two defensive positions in the upper and lower reaches of the Panshui River.
Because there was no super agent like Ye Feng in charge, the battles in these two battlefields were extremely difficult.
Many soldiers tried to stop the enemy's charge.
Facing the enemy's fierce artillery fire and the opposite side's machine gun fire, they also fired back frantically.
There were corpses everywhere on both sides of the river, including the bodies of Japanese soldiers who were shot to pieces and the bodies of anti-Japanese armed soldiers who were injured or killed by artillery shells.
Relatively speaking, the casualties of the anti-Japanese armed forces were slightly lower than those of the Japanese.
After all, before the Fifth Division arrived, Ye Feng and his team set out first, surveyed the terrain here, and dug solid defensive fortifications in advance.
"Deputy Commander Zheng, we must come up with a countermeasure. If we continue fighting like this, all the soldiers in our battalion may die here!" The battalion commander's face was half covered in blood. He shouted anxiously while shooting and killing the enemy.
The Japanese soldiers were killed and blocked in the middle of the river, but their own fighters also suffered heavy losses.
Besides, there are only 800 people in their battalion. If the casualties continue like this, the Japanese will sooner or later break through the Panshui River and attack the northern position.
Deputy Regiment Commander Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Use our two biological and chemical gas bombs. After firing the first one, wait half an hour and tell the soldiers that the biological and chemical gas is highly toxic. To prevent inhalation of the gas, soak the towels on your body and wrap them around your mouth and nose. If you still feel unwell, bury your whole face in the soil."
The battalion commander immediately followed the order and launched a chemical gas bomb, which exploded on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Panshui River.
The strange-colored smoke spread rapidly like a plague.
"what……"
Near the explosion of the poison gas bomb, more than thirty Japanese soldiers immediately let out shrill screams. They dropped their guns, grasped their necks tightly with both hands, opened their mouths and tried desperately to breathe, but their faces turned extremely pale, and finally turned from white to red. These Japanese soldiers' faces turned red, their facial features gradually distorted, and they died with blood gushing out of all their orifices.
As the poisonous smoke spread, more and more devils let out heart-wrenching screams.
This kind of biological and chemical poison gas is extremely terrifying. Even if you inhale a small amount, it will make the Japanese suffer a fate worse than death.
Just like that, the Japanese troops fell into chaos, and as the poisonous fog dissipated, all the Japanese scattered like birds and beasts, running back desperately, racing against death, trying to escape from the deadly poisonous smoke.
In the end, this poison gas bomb killed more than 300 Japanese soldiers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deputy Regiment Commander Zheng ordered heavy shooting. The Japanese assault troops retreated in a panic, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.
Information about the situation occurring upstream.
Soon, the news was sent back to the Japanese Fifth Division Headquarters.
After listening to the report, Ninomiya Kato gave the order without hesitation, "The Chinese have no more than 10 poison gas bombs. Order the Kato regiment upstream to defeat the enemy at all costs."
"Tell him again that the Chinese facing him only have one battalion, a mere 800 men."
"If he can't break through with a full-strength regiment of several thousand men, it will bring shame to the Great Japanese Empire."
Chief of Staff Nara also said, "The Chinese have taken control of our Third Fleet. According to intelligence, there were indeed only 10 poison gas bombs stored in the cabins of the Third Fleet at the time. Now our three armies are heading towards Shanghai."
"I estimate that the Chinese facing our division have no more than four poison gas bombs in their hands."
Ninomiya Kato said confidently, "In the face of powerful military strength, any conspiracy will be ruthlessly crushed."
"We can lose one thousand, two thousand, or even three thousand men, but the Chinese on the other side are also losing troops."
"If we keep fighting like this, we will surely win."
At this time...
A messenger rushed in and reported the situation on the battlefield. "We are currently suffering heavy losses on the front battlefield. Although the regiment led by Major General Morikami has repeatedly broken through the blockade and forced its way across the Panshui River, our troops have not been able to organize a defense on the spot every time."
"So far, more than half of the troops of Major General Morikami's regiment have been reduced, with nearly 3000 casualties."
what?
Ninomiya Kato stood up suddenly and asked, "How many people did the two Chinese battalions across from us lose?"
The messenger said, "According to observation, the Chinese casualties are less than 500, and most of them are injured and can continue to fight."
"Bagaya road!"
Ninomiya Kato was furious. The soldiers in his division were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. How could there be such a casualty ratio?
They suffered 6 casualties.
Only one Chinese person was killed or injured.
This 6 to 1 ratio is abnormal. More casualties should have come from the poor and backward Chinese people!
Chief of Staff Nara said, "You will give us all the details of the frontal attack and defense battle."
The messenger said, "Because the Chinese have a terrifying man. He carries two machine guns in his hands and can run fast on the battlefield. Moreover, his marksmanship is like a legendary god."
"Most of the elite soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire were killed by headshots. Yes, they were shot in the head by those two machine guns."
"It was that fierce man who blocked our attacks time and time again."
Super agent?
Ninomiya Kato and Nara looked at each other, then hurriedly walked out and observed the situation through binoculars.
"This man, he is definitely Ye Feng, the super agent from Shanghai." Ninomiya Kato said in surprise:
"I didn't expect that the commander of their independent reorganized division would bring a regiment to stop our Fifth Division."
Chief of Staff Nara said excitedly, "Division Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
What this meant was that the commander of the Chinese independent reorganized division was killed on this battlefield.
It will be a groundbreaking achievement.
Ninomiya Kato was very calm, "A super agent is not so easy to kill. Otherwise, our two divisions of the Empire of Japan would not have been surrounded and annihilated by him in Shanghai one after another."
"What we need to do is to keep Ye Feng, the commander of the independent reorganized division, here."
"Without him commanding the division, our other two armies from the west and north will rush into Shanghai like a thunderbolt."
While the two were talking, Ye Feng, who was killing anyone who stood in his way, was like a tireless killing machine.
He was so bloodthirsty and his marksmanship was so amazing that he once again sent more than 300 Japanese soldiers to their deaths.
Because of Ye Feng's strong counterattack, the Fifth Division's plan to make a frontal breakthrough in the middle road failed again.
It can be said that the organization of this Japanese regiment that charged head-on had been completely destroyed.
Ninomiya Kato frowned, thought for a moment, and then gave the order:
"In the central front battlefield, set up three more river crossing points and have three regiments of heavy troops attack."
In Ninomiya Kato's opinion, no matter how powerful you, Ye Feng, are, you are unable to take care of other battlefields at the same time.
The most elite Fifth Division of the Great Japanese Empire, with many artillery shells, machine guns and soldiers.
How can you, the poor and backward Shenzhou troops with only 3,000 people, resist the attack of nearly 30,000 of me?
An advantage of ten times the military strength.
Ninomiya Kato was very confident that he could end the battle before dark.
Even if there is a super agent on the opposite side, it will still be torn into pieces by the troops of the Great Japanese Empire.
