Chapter 70 A psychopath who shouldn’t be here!
The battle lasted less than forty minutes, and the artillery company fired shells for a full forty minutes, causing the gun barrels to become scorching hot.
It has to be said that the intensity of the battle was no less than that of a large-scale battle.
The Sedan River was a river of blood.
You can even see fish thrashing and tearing at the carcass.
I estimate that the fish here will be very fat next year.
Looking at the piles of Japanese soldiers' corpses in the river, Cun Yunsheng was very satisfied.
The Sichuan Army once again proved through actual combat that they were armed to the teeth and could completely beat the Japanese army to the ground.
"Ayi, smell it, the air is giving off a sweet scent." Cun Yunsheng joked as he looked at Lin Yi's pale face.
At this moment, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was really hard to accept for a new recruit like Lin Yi who had hardly fought in a war.
Cun Yunsheng and others have long been accustomed to it and can even tease Lin Yi.
This was the third time that Lin Yi had seen such a bloody scene. His psychological acceptance ability was much better than before, and it was not as exaggerated as before. However, his face looked a little bad, and he still couldn't remain calm like other people.
"Commander, please stop making fun of me." Lin Yi looked at the other party with an embarrassed expression.
At this time, Cun Yunsheng put away his teasing expression and looked at the other side of the river, where some remaining Japanese troops were still resisting.
Obviously, these Japanese troops did not choose to retreat, but fought to the death.
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army were already very skilled in dealing with these remaining Japanese troops. They threw grenades at them without any cost, making the Japanese troops dizzy.
"Wow, we caught a big fish." Suddenly a shout came from the front, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army nearby came over one after another.
"It's really a big fish. This is the colonel."
"You are really lucky."
"Damn it, we finally caught a big fish." Many Sichuan Army soldiers were talking about it, and Cun Yunsheng hurriedly led his troops to take a look.
"Oh wow, it's really a big fish. Lin Yi spoke to him in Japanese, asking him to lay down his weapon and surrender." Cun Yunsheng signaled to Lin Yi beside him to persuade him to surrender quickly.
It wasn't that he suddenly had a kind heart, but he wanted to get some useful information out of this colonel.
After all, he is already a senior military officer and must have a lot of confidential information in his hands.
"I want to know who defeated my regiment." Colonel Masao Kususe did not answer the other party's question, but looked at the lieutenant colonel in front of him. He needed to find out who defeated him before he died.
"The 45th Independent Regiment of the Sichuan Army." Cun Yunsheng would naturally satisfy such a request.
"Sichuan Army?" Colonel Masao Kususe looked at Cun Yunsheng with disbelief. To him, this was simply nonsense.
He was actually defeated by the Sichuan Army?
How can this be.
After coming to his senses, Colonel Masao Kususe looked at the other party's uniform, which was indeed the uniform of the Sichuan Army. Finally, he had to accept this cruel reality.
That is, he was really defeated by the Sichuan Army.
Thinking of this, Colonel Masao Kususe laughed bitterly and looked at Cun Yunsheng.
"I didn't expect that I would be defeated by the Sichuan Army. I am truly a disgrace to the empire."
After saying that, he raised the gun, pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.
boom!
With a gunshot, Colonel Masao Kususe fell to the side.
Looking at this scene, Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly.
"Be a good person in your next life."
He then ordered his troops to cross the river quickly and march north.
When Dai Anlan led the 200th Division and his troops to the Sedan River, he was silent for a long time as he looked at the Sedan River that had been dyed red with blood.
"Did the Sichuan Army do this?" Zheng Tingji asked in disbelief as he looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the ground.
"It seems that we have all underestimated the fighting power of the Sichuan Army. Our 200th Division is not as good as them." Dai Anlan took a deep breath, then waved his hand to signal the troops to cross the river immediately.
At the same time, fierce gunfire was heard in Tonggu City.
The Japanese army attacked Tonggu City from both wings. The 600th Regiment left in the city began to resist step by step relying on the houses. They needed to buy time for the main force.
"Speed up, don't let our brothers' blood be shed in vain." Dai Anlan closed his eyes in pain, then said loudly.
"Yes." Everyone sped up crossing the river.
"Your Excellency the division commander, I have just received a telegram from Colonel Masao Kususe. He has decided to fight to the death with the expeditionary force." The chief of staff walked in with a telegram and reported.
"What? How is this possible?" Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi looked at the other party in disbelief.
It seems to be asking, do you know what you are talking about?
One of my squadrons was annihilated?
Hasn’t the 200th Division on the opposite side run out of ammunition and food?
How is it possible that they still have such strong fighting power?
"Sir, division commander, could it be the Sichuan Army at the airport? According to intelligence, they seem to have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment. If this is the case, the Kusase Regiment without heavy weapons may be defeated." The chief of staff began to analyze.
"Impossible! They are just a Sichuan Army. How could they defeat one of my regiments?" Takeuchi Hiroshi said with some difficulty accepting it.
For him, the news was too much.
"Bastard." After a while, Takeuchi Hiroshi reluctantly accepted the news and then started cursing.
"Sir, division commander, stop the attack. The loss of a regiment is a big blow to morale. I think we should wait until the artillery regiment arrives before continuing the attack." The chief of staff suggested.
"Asshole." Takeuchi Hiroshi shouted angrily, and then ordered the troops to stop the attack. At the same time, he ordered the artillery regiment to speed up the march and reach Tonggu City within one day. "Also, inform the military of the situation here and ask them to send a flying squadron to find the enemy's traces. We must not let them go."
"Also, have the armored squadron rush to Tonggu City as quickly as possible. I need to use tanks to crush those damn Chinese."
The death of a regiment commander can definitely be said to be the greatest shame. Even if the whole of Burma is occupied next, he will not receive any promotion and may even be transferred to the reserve.
This was the reason for his rage.
"Commander, we have caught a big fish this time. It will definitely shock the allied forces." Meng Fanle said excitedly on the way.
Not only was Meng Fanla excited, but everyone else was happy too.
This was the first senior Japanese officer killed after entering Burma, which was definitely a great victory.
Even the American military instructors looked happy.
They also did not expect that the Sichuan Army, whose military literacy was basically zero, could actually defeat a Japanese regiment head-on. Even if this regiment did not have any decent heavy weapons, it was still a regiment, and they even killed a colonel. It was definitely a great victory.
They believed that General Stilwell would be very happy.
"He's just a colonel, and you look so happy. That's all you can achieve. Next time, try to kill a lieutenant general, and then you'll be happy." Cun Yunsheng curled his lips with a look of disgust.
He is just a colonel and can only be considered a relatively big fish.
They have long been accustomed to Cun Yunsheng's words.
Our own regimental commander has great ambitions and looks down on the colonel, but they are different.
To them, this is a big fish.
"Let Dong Jian spread out all the reconnaissance companies and be careful of Japanese troops on the road." Cun Yunsheng ordered again.
"Ah? There are still Japanese troops?" Meng Fanle thought he would be safe after crossing the river, but it turned out that he still had to guard against the Japanese troops.
Only Cun Yunsheng knew that after the Japanese army captured Tonggu, they obtained a large number of trucks, and then mechanized their march all the way to Tangji, and even captured Lashio, cutting off the expeditionary army's retreat route.
Their two legs are definitely no match for the Japanese.
"The Japanese soldiers' legs are not much slower than ours. They may even be sitting in trucks blocking us." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
"Not really?" Meng Fan hesitated for a moment, still feeling that it was unlikely.
"Let's wait and see." Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to explain so much. He just asked Dong Dao to deploy all the reconnaissance companies and not to take it lightly.
He defeated a Japanese regiment head-on and killed a Japanese colonel.
Given his understanding of the Japanese army, he would definitely go crazy.
Maybe she will be waiting for him ahead.
In the next few days, the Sichuan Army Corps kept traveling through the dense forest. Fortunately, with the help of Sun Yunfei and others acting as guides, they did not get lost, otherwise they would still have a way out.
At the same time, Cun Yunsheng’s guess was correct. The Japanese army was indeed like crazy. An entire flying brigade was patrolling in the sky, trying to find the Sichuan Army.
Not only that, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi dispatched a regiment, with all the members riding in trucks, and headed towards Tangji, with the aim of blocking the Kawaguchi Army and avenging the death of Colonel Masao Kusase.
At this time, the Sichuan Army had already arrived fifty kilometers outside Tangji.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company who were in charge of the search and alert saw a blurry figure carrying a rifle in the distance and immediately became alert.
Not long after, the man walked out from the woods in the distance and stood on the road with a swagger.
The next scene made the soldiers of the reconnaissance company even more confused.
I saw this man holding a machine gun and firing wildly at the woods in the distance, while shouting at the top of his voice like a ghost howling.
"How can you say that you have no clothes, but you share the same robe with me!"
"If you can get to Yang Liulang, you can't get to drink rice soup."
"My grandson, I'm here to take you home. Nothing else, but I didn't get enough peanuts."
They were shouting and shooting, as if there were many enemies in the woods in the distance.
They only stopped when they had emptied the magazine, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company didn't even see a hair of the Japanese devils in the enemy's mouth.
"Platoon leader, is this guy a psychopath?"
"Could he be an opera singer? There is such a person in our hometown." A soldier couldn't help but say.
Dong Jian was also a little confused and didn't quite understand what the person in front of him was trying to do.
"He could also be a madman. Let the brothers be alert and be careful of traps." Dong Jian thought for a moment, then ordered everyone to be on high alert.
"You go and inform the regiment commander and tell him that we have found a psychopath." Dong Jian added.
"Yes."
Not long after, Cun Yunsheng brought Meng Fanle and others to Dong Jian.
"What's wrong? Have you found the Japs?" In the past two days, through the radio, he also knew how big the basket of his bucket was. The Japs were looking for him everywhere like crazy.
Therefore, the marching speed has been reduced a lot in the past few days. All the scouts have been deployed, and even some people have been drawn from the guard company to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese army.
After hearing Dong Jian's report, Cun Yunsheng thought he had discovered the Japanese vanguard and hurried over with his guard company.
"Grandpas, I see you all. All the Japanese are dead. Why are you still hiding? Come out quickly and gather together." The man opposite shouted strangely again.
Update first, revise later! I'll see if I can get another chapter out tonight. I'm a little mentally exhausted!
