I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 689: Persuading the 73rd Army to Fight an Annihilation War

For Inaya's Sixth Division, the situation on the battlefield at this time was really like adding insult to injury.

Just when the main force of their division was fleeing desperately.

The main force of the 1st Brigade of the 4th Militia Division also arrived at the battlefield.

Relying on the First Brigade's powerful firepower configuration, the battlefield in the valley was directly divided into two sections.

Logically speaking, the Sixth Division was no pushover. Their Type 38 rifles were accurate in shooting and they were still very capable.

Otherwise, the Japanese devils on the Japanese island would not have killed and wounded so many American soldiers in the battle to defend the islands in the Pacific.

Even now, they are not without the opportunity to fight against the First Brigade of the Militia Division.

But a good cook cannot cook without rice, and they only had a few bullets left in their Type 38 rifles.

Under the extremely intense attack of the First Brigade, the Japanese had no time to aim and shoot steadily.

As soon as they showed their heads, they would be killed instantly by the Kuomintang bullets.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese soldiers of the Sixth Division had already lost their composure.

The Japanese had no choice but to fire randomly.

In a short while, all the bullets in the Japanese's Type 38 rifle were used up by themselves.

There were also many defeated Japanese soldiers who, under the leadership of their superiors, launched another boarding charge.

But without exception, the hillsides in the valley were covered with several thick layers of corpses.

The death of their own soldiers was not the most despairing thing for the Japanese army.

But the troops behind had been caught up by the 73rd Army of the National Army.

They were merely taking the initiative to divide their forces to block the attack, and had not yet reached the final collapse.

The arrival of the 73rd Army of the National Army did not cause much panic.

What really made them collapse was that their Inami Division Commander ran away without even looking back, without even leaving them an order.

It was precisely because of this that they were so easily cut in half by the soldiers of the First Brigade.

Commander Qian's 73rd Army arrived a little late today, but he also had his reasons.

It is said that one should not chase a desperate enemy. He had already witnessed the ferocity of the Japanese rear guard regiment.

In the past, when they saw their soldiers holding explosives in their arms and dying together with the Japanese, they only felt grief and anger in their hearts.

Now it seems that the Japanese are using this trick against their own soldiers.

For some reason, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

What he meant was that if you have chased the Japanese into a dead end, don't chase them any further, in case the Japanese become desperate and do something desperate again.

He defended Changsha for two days without losing it, which was already a great achievement.

Now, a regiment of the Japanese invaders has been wiped out on the outskirts of Linxiang Mountain.

This achievement is not small. Why should we suffer heavy losses to chase a few devils?

Besides, the Japanese troops in the mountains are the notorious Sixth Division.

The roads in the valley are narrow and the environment is complex, making it difficult for large troops and firepower to be deployed.

The Japanese only need to leave an infantry squad at the key location.

Just with the Type 38 rifle in his hand, he was able to detain the 73rd Army for half an hour.

In that case, even if they chased in, they would only be able to watch the Japanese run away.

Unless the brothers of the 73rd Army were forced to risk their lives to fight these little Japanese devils, which was something he didn't want to see.

This is also the rear guard regiment, after they were all wiped out.

The rice grains could not hear the gunshots that followed.

Commander Qian was looking at his men, who were all cleaning up the battlefield, and he was extremely proud of himself.

"Hello, Commander Qian. I am the artillery commander sent by the Fourth Division of the Jiangnan Militia. My name is Liang Qingru."

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Major Liang, you guys fought well just now.

Without your artillery shells, we can blast the Japs out of their bunkers.

We can't wipe out all the devils so easily and so quickly."

Major Liang: "Commander Qian, why did our 73rd Army stop and stop chasing the Japanese?"

Commander Qian: "As the saying goes, don't chase after a desperate enemy.

Besides, there is Commander Dongfang’s Fourth Division blocking the way ahead.

The terrain inside is complex, and if we chase them in, it will easily cause accidental injuries on both sides."

At this time, a soldier from the militia division came running over from behind.

With the help of the soldier, Major Liang began to take off his clothes.

Then he changed into a military uniform with the emblem of the 73rd Army.

And he started to carry magazines, chest bags and grenades on himself.

Finally, a Type 41 assault rifle was handed to Major Liang.

When Commander Qian saw that not only Major Liang was changing, but the soldiers of their artillery guard company had also changed into the uniforms of the 73rd Army.

Commander Qian: "Major Liang, what are you doing? Aren't you an artilleryman? Why do you look like you're going to war?

Also, why did you change into the uniforms of our 73rd Army?"

Major Liang: "We are now soldiers of your 73rd Army. Of course we are going to chase after the Japanese!"

When Commander Qian heard this, he felt unhappy.

You, the soldiers of the artillery, are wearing our military uniforms and going to chase the Japanese for us?

You bunch of bastards, aren’t you trying to slap our 73rd Army in the face?

"Major Liang, you may not know how dangerous this is. You might as well listen to my advice..."

"Commander Qian, you are confused!"

Major Liang is really a stubborn person. He dares to say anything.

After all, the person opposite him is a corps commander, and you are just a major.

You can't say that a lieutenant general is confused. In the Republic of China era, disrespecting your superior would result in execution.

Commander Qian was so upright that he did not blame the major for this.

Anyway, the major was loading his assault rifle with bullets.

The major looked at General Qian who was still not moving, and said, "General Qian, have you not figured it out yet?

The stray dogs in the mountains opposite us are the Japanese Sixth Division.

This Japanese army was one of the executioners who invaded Nanjing and massacred 300,000 of our Chinese compatriots.

At this moment, Commander Qian, are you still thinking about this?

As long as you lead your men to attack now, you can avenge your 300,000 compatriots.

The credit for annihilating the Sixth Division belongs to you, Commander Qian."

Commander Qian: "Wait a minute, brother, I'm a little confused.

It is obvious that it was your Jiangnan Militia Division that was the main force in annihilating the Sixth Division. How can I be credited with the first achievement?"

Major Liang: "Don't you think about it carefully? Can the people above us, our militia division, make such a big splash?

In this case, all the work of so many Kuomintang troops in the Ninth War Zone these days would have been in vain.

Now we just need your 73rd Army to engage in battle with the Japanese inside.

The credit for annihilating the Sixth Division can only be claimed by you, Commander Qian."

After listening to this, Commander Qian's eyes turned red.

The credit for annihilating the Sixth Division was now in his hands, how could he let it go?

Commander Qian turned around and snatched away the Thompson submachine gun from his guard.

"Major Liang, I, Old Qian, recognize you as my brother. I will definitely reward you handsomely one day!"

Commander Qian, holding a Thompson submachine gun, found a large rock, jumped on it, and shouted loudly to the soldiers.

"Listen up, brothers of the 73rd Army. Do you know which unit the Japanese soldiers in front of you are from?"
