"Yes."

385 intense

"Boom-boom-boom-"

"Suddenly—"

"Da da da--"

"Boom boom-"

Intense, dense gunfire.

The sound of the heavy machine gun, the sound of the light machine gun, the sound of the rifle, the sound of the grenade.

mixed together.

Although it was only an advance force and a brigade, Taro Yamamoto didn't care.Even Taro Yamamoto didn't know the number of the Chinese army on the opposite side, and how many people there were in the Chinese army on the opposite side, because these were completely useless things for Taro Yamamoto.Because Yamamoto Taro completely looked down on the Chinese army.After coming to Sinuiju for a little rest, he began to order troops to attack.He wanted to let the ignorant Chinese know that the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible.If you provoke the Empire of Japan, you must bear the wrath of the Empire of Japan.

Thirty years ago, his predecessors taught the Qing Dynasty a lesson, making China, a behemoth, the defeat of Japan.So today, I have to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors, flatten the Chinese army in front of me, and increase my merits.

But after the fight, the situation is not so favorable.

Although Taro Yamamoto is arrogant, he is an experienced grassroots officer of the Japanese army.He has studied at the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy and the Army University, and has been a grassroots officer in the army for many years.

Being able to become the captain of the North Korean division, with more than 1000 people under his command, is still very capable.

The Yalu River Bridge is only over 900 meters away.

The width is less than 30 meters.

Now that the Chinese army has come to the bridge early to deploy defensive positions, Taro Yamamoto will certainly not attack blindly.Taro Yamamoto organized some troops to test the defense line of the Chinese army first.

Look at the deployment of weapons, look at the distribution of numbers.

You can't fully know just by looking through a telescope.After the real attack, Taro Yamamoto's face was very ugly.The defensive position of the Chinese army in the middle of the Yalu River Bridge is very stable.

Because the width of the Yalu River Bridge is limited, when the Chinese army set up defensive positions in front and back, the firepower almost covered the entire bridge deck.

On the afternoon of August 1923, 8, Yamamoto Taro organized the army to conduct three tentative attacks, but they were all beaten back.And there is no chance, which makes Yamamoto Taro a headache.

damn it.

It will be night in a few hours. If the Yalu River Bridge cannot be taken down now, the follow-up troops will not be able to cross the bridge. How much time will be lost.

The telegrams from the Kwantung Army asking for help came one after another.

Because the Chinese army is about to attack Jinzhou, and there is not much distance from Dalian.Moreover, the Chinese army used the South Manchuria Railway, and more and more troops began to pour into Dalian.

I don't have time to spend time on my side.

"Captain, this is not possible. The Chinese army's position deployment is very good. They have completely covered the area about 100 meters away from the position. If we rush up like this, we will not be able to break through their firepower net."

The several attacks of the Yamamoto brigade did not work, and they were all in a hurry.

The squadron leader in charge of the attack immediately came to Taro Yamamoto's side.Tell Taro Yamamoto that it is impossible to win the opposite position if this continues.In just three tentative attacks, his squadron had already suffered more than 80 casualties, including 12 killed and 19 seriously injured.

For a squadron, this kind of casualty is not low.

After a few simple trials, he already understood that there is no way to attack like this now.

"kindness."

Yamamoto Taro nodded.

Because he saw it too.The deployment of the Chinese army's defensive positions is very good, and it is completely a textbook-level defensive position.Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles are well equipped.

A very dense firepower network was formed.

"Captain, why don't you use cannons. As long as you use cannons, these temporary fortifications are useless at all."

in a hurry.

With such a deployment of the Chinese army, if the infantry rushed up, the casualties would be too great.The best way is to use cannons, and these temporary fortifications can be quickly resolved within a few shots.

"No."

Taro Yamamoto looked at the Yalu River Bridge and shook his head firmly.Then he said: "Our army wants to quickly enter the Northeast. This line is the only way. The follow-up large troops must also rely on this bridge to enter the Northeast. This is the only way to enter the Northeast by land. And enter After the Northeast, only by using the Anfeng Railway can the troops quickly attack Shenyang and help the Kwantung Army break out of the siege. I am not sure about the situation of this bridge, nor whether it can withstand the artillery bombardment. If the infantry artillery is really used If the bridge is broken, what will happen to the large troops in the future? The entire plan of the military department will be ruined. We can’t use fishing boats to cross the river with so many troops. And look around. After we came here, have we ever seen a fishing boat? .Damn the Chinese and North Koreans, they hid all the fishing boats here. We want to raise a large number of boats to cross the river, and it is impossible in a short time."

Taro Yamamoto was very angry.

The Chinese army is too unscrupulous.

He didn't care about the bridge at all, and threw grenades wantonly on the bridge.But Taro Yamamoto couldn't ignore the bridge. After all, the follow-up troops had to rely on this bridge to enter the northeast.According to the plan of the military department, it is impossible for all Japanese troops to enter Dalian and Lushun.

There are still many troops who are going to enter the Port of Busan.

Then enter the northeast by the railway.

Because the use of railways is currently the best way to move troops and supplies.

If something goes wrong with the bridge, these plans will all be scrapped.The railroad is damaged and can be salvaged.But if the bridge is damaged, it cannot be repaired in a day or two.

So Taro Yamamoto was very careful.

"Captain, even if you don't use the infantry artillery, you still need to use grenades. If you don't even use grenades, we won't be able to suppress the opponent's firepower, and our troops won't be able to break through the line of defense."

The Yalu River Bridge is still too narrow.

There isn't much room to play.If the Chinese army is allowed to continue to occupy such an advantage, it will be impossible to break through.Batch after batch of troops went up, it was just a simple refueling tactic.

increased casualties.

"kindness."

Yamamoto Taro nodded finally.

Yes.

If you don't even use the grenades, this defensive position is really impossible to break through.Since the army's firepower has become stronger and stronger, the so-called crowd tactics have long since withdrawn from history.

Because it is of no use.

In the face of powerful firepower, no matter how many people go up, it is useless.The current war still uses crowd tactics, so such commanders should be pulled out and shot.

"How long will it take for the troops behind to arrive?"

"According to the time, it is around 06:30, that is, the second batch of troops will arrive within two hours. It should be the arrival of the Suzuki Brigade."
