The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu
Chapter 151 The Desperate Japs
Chapter 151 The Desperate Devil
By simply tying a large number of grenades to the corpses of the Japanese and throwing them off the building, the defenders of the Sihang Warehouse easily broke through their steel plate formation and blew up the left and right walls of the building.
It also caused huge damage and casualties to the attacking Japanese 1st Battalion of the Demon City Special Marine Corps.
But unfortunately, the above brilliant results do not mean that today's battle will end immediately, and Hu Biao and his team can relax later.
On the contrary, in the following period, the Japanese side mobilized more troops and launched a more fierce attack.
The reason for this scene is actually very simple:
The Japanese had a considerable number of spies in the Shanghai International Settlement, and even among the crowd watching the battle opposite the Sihang Warehouse.
So they naturally knew that their declaration of "taking down the Sihang Warehouse in three hours and letting the imperial flag fly on the roof" was already known to the people of the Magic City and the Western devils and foreigners.
It's like they are hanging themselves up with such a declaration.
If such a declaration is achieved, the result will naturally be all good; the island nation can greatly demonstrate the empire's powerful military force in front of the above-mentioned people,
If the declaration is not achieved, they will have made a huge joke and even brought shame to the international community.
What's worse is that the Japanese have already vaguely realized that if the Sihang Warehouse is allowed to continue to be held by the National Army, the Chinese people will become more and more determined to resist them.
Those Western monsters probably have many other ideas.
In short, the above situation was eventually reported to Okawachi, the old Japanese who had originally said the harsh words "three hours" and was the commander-in-chief of the attacking force.
Knowing that there would be no good outcome unless he successfully captured the Sihang Warehouse, Okawachi, like a gambler who was desperate, bet everything he had.
Under such circumstances, how could Hu Biao and his men, who were guarding the warehouse, relax?
At 9:07 in the morning, a little over an hour after today's battle began.
He saw that the troops, who had been placed with high hopes and were carrying steel plates to blast the walls from the left and right wings, suffered heavy casualties from the corpses thrown down from the upper floors.
Major Ohashi, the Japanese front-line commander, thought of the strict order from his immediate superior, Okawachi, before the war.
With bitterness in his heart, he brandished his samurai sword and, with the last fifty or sixty men around him, rushed towards the warehouse that had claimed the lives of so many of his men.
He had only rushed out twenty or thirty steps when he was targeted by Uncle Bo, who was constantly changing sniper positions on the fourth floor of the warehouse.
When the soldier saw the rank of major on the other side, he became excited.
But compared to people in the modern dimension, when they go to the bar and see those big foreign horses dancing, they are much more excited.
He immediately abandoned his original target, a small-time Japanese sergeant; after putting the unsuspecting Major Hashimoto into the sniper scope, he pulled the trigger.
The Type 795 sniper rifle has a flight speed of meters per second.
Almost at the moment the gunshot rang out, Major Hashimoto was hit in the chest.
Why didn't Uncle Bo aim for the head and give this guy a headshot? I can only say that as a qualified sniper, unless the target only has a head exposed, basically he will not pursue a headshot.
The chest is larger than the head and easier to hit. Hitting the chest to ensure the success rate of the hit is the normal area a sniper aims at.
Besides, the Japanese don’t have any DIY bulletproof plates on their chests, so it’s hard for them to survive after being shot.
Look! After being shot in the chest, Major Hashimoto instinctively stopped and looked down at the wound in his chest with a look of disbelief.
He probably never thought that he would die in such a place, at the hands of the Chinese people whom he had always looked down upon.
Then Major Hashimoto's legs went limp and he fell to the ground and died.
The Japanese soldiers who followed him in the charge only then discovered that their captain had also died in the battle.
Although according to the Japanese military's combat regulations, after the death of a senior officer, the soldiers would automatically gather around the junior officers to form a new command group and continue to fight.
This vigorous fighting spirit even amazed the soldiers in the Pacific battlefield later.
However, by now, there were only less than 150 to 160 combatants left in the First Battalion, including some lightly wounded soldiers who persisted in fighting.
A Japanese captain who took over the command saw this situation and knew that the result of continuing to fight would only be the annihilation of their First Battalion. He immediately issued an order with a bitter mouth: "Retreat, retreat immediately~"
With such an order, the Japanese's second attack of the day ended.
Ten minutes later, Okawachi arrived at the area where the remnants of the First Battalion were located. He grabbed the captain and yelled, "Baka! Why are you retreating, you coward? You are a disgrace to the Imperial Navy."
The captain didn't say anything, but just pointed to the side.
Okawachi turned his head and took a look, and immediately found that the First Battalion, which originally had more than 500 people, now had only about 110 to 20 people including the lightly wounded, and their morale was extremely low.
It was immediately understood that the First Battalion had reached the point where it had to retreat.
However, Okawachi, who had been forced into a desperate situation, was not willing to give up so easily.
He shouted orders to the adjutant behind him: "Order the second battalion on standby to immediately attack the Sihang Warehouse; order the third battalion to immediately move closer to this place and prepare for battle.
I don't want casualties, I just want results, and that's to take down this damn warehouse within three hours."
Under such circumstances, Hu Biao and his team in the warehouse had completed the first aid for the wounded, and had not even reloaded the empty magazines when the Japanese attack began again.
The intensity of the battle at Sihang Warehouse today was, as they had expected, far exceeding the scale in history.
The original number of 400 Japanese casualties has now doubled...
******
At 10:17 in the morning, the Japanese attacked the Sihang Warehouse for the fourth time; this shows that the Japanese were in a state of complete madness.
All the defenders in the warehouse can do at this moment is to grit their teeth and hold on.
In such a fierce battle, casualties naturally continued to occur.
No matter whether you are an elite or a rookie, an officer or a soldier, if you are not careful or just unlucky, you will be injured and killed in battle.
Hiding on the left side of a window on the first floor, Mo Shuiyan used up almost all his strength and smashed out the butt of a gun.
The butt of the gun hit the head of a Japanese soldier who was trying to crawl in. Because he hit the gun too hard, he was grazed by the bullet. His left shoulder, which was wrapped in gauze, immediately felt a sharp pain.
The sturdy walnut stock of the Zhongzheng rifle was also smashed with a noticeable crack on the spot.
Fortunately, the Japanese soldier's head was hit with a noticeable dent, and he died immediately.
That's right! The above description was absolutely correct. Mo Shuiyan was originally firing from the rooftop, suppressing the pace and speed of the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him.
However, the power faced on the first floor was getting stronger and stronger, and some of the personnel on the roof had to be transferred down to provide support.
Mo Shuiyan was on the list of personnel selected.
Without even glancing at the Japanese soldier he had just killed, and throwing away the Zhongzheng rifle that had just run out of bullets, Mo Shuiyan pulled out the Hanyang pistol that he had modified himself, and prepared to lean forward to continue firing.
The main point is to do everything possible to prevent the Japanese from rushing in.
Before he could lean out, he saw a smoking little melon grenade suddenly thrown into the window, landing only two or three meters away from him.
The first thing he did was to stretch out his right hand and grab the body of the Japanese soldier who had just been smashed to death.
He planned to drag the Japanese corpse and put it on the Little Melon grenade; but he didn't know where it got stuck and the Japanese corpse didn't move at all.
God knows! Before being thrown in, did the Japanese hold the melon grenade for a while? Would it explode immediately?
Mo Shuiyan didn't dare to continue dragging the Japanese corpse. The only thing he could do was to roll to the side of the ground.
After just one roll, a huge explosion was heard.
Instantly, he felt a sharp pain in his right calf, which was pierced by flying shrapnel...
