Chapter 224 The Japanese captain is preparing to escape!
“Boom…boom…”
“Boom…boom…”
The north gate, south gate, east gate and west gate of Chidong County simultaneously began to bombard the attacking Japanese troops with artillery fire.
One shell after another hit the Japanese attacking formation and then exploded.
With every explosion, several Japanese soldiers were blown into the air and more than a dozen were injured.
"boom!"
A bomb exploded more than ten meters away from the Japanese captain who was attacking the west gate of Chidong County.
However, the Japanese captain did not run away. Instead, he put his hands on his chest, keeping his body a fist's distance from the ground.
Then let the shell explode.
The Japanese captain was a veteran of many battlefields. He knew very well that running around in this situation would be the stupidest thing to do.
On the contrary, lying down on the spot with your body a fist's distance from the ground will give you the greatest chance of survival.
Of course, this is because the entire body is pressed against the ground, and the violent vibration of the explosion will damage the internal organs.
"Warriors of the Empire, charge, charge, charge forward, and the Chinese will not dare to fire."
Before the Japanese captain could get up, another Japanese captain not far away gave the order to continue the charge.
This made the Japanese captain look over in surprise. What he saw was Captain Kamimura waving his command knife and shouting at the top of his lungs to drive his men to continue charging.
"Uemura, that idiot, is courting death."
When the Japanese captain saw this scene, he said something.
Sure enough, a minute later, several shells landed next to Captain Kamimura.
Captain Kamimura disappeared in an instant, the kind that you couldn't find even if you looked carefully.
The Japanese captain is a veteran with rich battlefield experience, in addition to his own skills.
The Japanese captain is best at knowing how to save his life on the cruel battlefield.
He didn't understand why Japanese soldiers like Kamimura would always shout "die with honor".
For the Japanese captain, being able to come to China to fight has already done him a disservice to His Majesty.
As for the idea of dying in battle for His Majesty, the Japanese captain was just talking about it.
The Japanese captain never took it seriously. He was not a brainwashed soldier, and he did not have any Bushido spirit.
In the eyes of the Japanese captain, if he died in battle, who would take care of his elderly mother, wife and daughter at home?
Is it His Majesty? Is it the military?
Don't joke about that. The Japanese captain was sure that if he really died in the battle.
Then the mother who loses her source of income will surely starve to death, and the wife and daughter who lose their source of income will also sell their bodies.
If wives and daughters do not sell their bodies, then the only thing that awaits them is starvation.
So at this moment, the Japanese captain was lying secretly in a bomb crater. This bomb crater should be a bomb crater from a heavy artillery and was quite large.
The bomb crater can serve as a good cover for the Japanese captain. He is temporarily safe by lying in this bomb crater.
After a while, the Japanese captain noticed that the shelling had begun to ease, so he quickly stuck his head out to take a look.
There were no people around, but there were more than a dozen corpses.
The Japanese captain crawled out of the crater and slowly crawled towards the nearest corpse.
This was a body that had been blown to pieces, but a Type 38 rifle was right next to the body.
The Japanese captain took the Type 38 rifle, checked it, and found it was in good condition. He then picked up the ammunition bag next to it.
Then he looked around again, got up, bent over and ran quickly into a small ditch.
As soon as the Japanese captain jumped into the ditch, he felt he hit something, then he heard a burst of shouting and cursing, and was hit several times.
"Baga..."
The Japanese captain would never accept being wronged, and immediately started to fight back with curses.
He just stopped after seeing it clearly.
"Baga, you idiots, look carefully, I am your captain." The Japanese captain cursed angrily.
It turned out that dozens of Japanese soldiers had been hiding in this small ditch for a long time, and it had just become dark because of the flares.
These devils instinctively attacked the devil captain.
Now several flares were fired into the night sky, allowing both sides to see clearly.
"Captain, we..."
Before the Japanese soldiers could finish speaking, the captain slapped them one by one.
In the Japanese army, superiors beating subordinates and seniors beating juniors is as common as eating and drinking.
"Hi!" The beaten Japanese soldier did not resist at all, but nodded heavily.
After venting his anger, the Japanese captain no longer paid any attention to the dozens of Japanese soldiers.
Instead, start looking around.
There were not many living Japanese soldiers left in this position, and the Tiger Guards Division's artillery fire had also stopped.
So the Japanese captain was ready to leave because he knew that the Tiger Guards were going to counterattack.
The reinforcements of the Tiger Guard Division are coming, and these reinforcements are armored units. The Japanese captain knows very well how powerful tanks are.
Besides, the Japanese captain already knows the situation in the Japanese rear. If he doesn't escape now, he will die.
"Captain, what should we do now?" One of the best-ranking Japanese soldiers hiding in the ditch asked the captain.
"You all want to survive." The Japanese captain said after a moment of silence.
The Japanese captain knew that those who could hide here were all Japanese who were as afraid of death as he was.
Those devils who were not afraid of death had already rushed forward.
You have to know that this is the second line of defense of the west gate of Chidong County, which has been occupied by the Japanese.
The battle is now at the third line of defense outside the west gate of Chidong County, where the sound of gunfire has never stopped.
"Captain, I...I want to live."
"Captain, I want to live too."
"I want to live too."
......
After the Japanese captain finished speaking, dozens of Japanese soldiers whispered.
"We have failed. The Chinese reinforcements have arrived. The Chinese reinforcements are all armored units."
"Our division commander, chief of general staff, and wing commander have all died."
"The Chinese armored forces have razed our rear headquarters to the ground."
"We have lost this war. No, not lost, we will soon be defeated."
"Our current supreme commander is the commander of the 66th Regiment, and he's a madman."
"He clearly knew we had failed, yet he continued to attack Chidong County. He wanted the 37th Division to be completely wiped out outside of Chidong County."
"I don't want to make a meaningless sacrifice. I want to live."
"If you want to live, follow me and leave!"
The Japanese captain was silent for a while, then scanned all the Japanese soldiers with his eyes, and finally spoke slowly to all of them.
