Chapter 51 Unfortunate Drowning
November 7 at 2:00 a.m.
With the cover of night, more than 60 landing boats were loaded with Japanese infantry and Type 95 light tanks, and quietly approached the seawall when the tide water level was at its highest.
After suffering two consecutive losses, Yanagawa Heisuke finally improved, no longer defended the dogma of landing again in Dawn, and decisively launched a new round of beach grabs at 2 a.m.!
The Japanese infantry that was invested this time was still eleven squadrons, plus the last independent chariot squadron!
Almost as more than 60 landing craft approached the seawall, flares suddenly rose from the ocean in the distance, instantly illuminating Jinshanwei as bright as daytime.
The next moment, the Japanese infantry on the landing craft roared, turned over and jumped into the cold sea water, then wadeed ashore, and quickly climbed over the seawall.
Abe Kaguji was appointed as the captain of the 3rd Infantry Squad and also participated in this beach grab.
Abe Turtle was the first to rush to the Shanghai pond, and then, with the strong light emitted by the burning of the flares, he found a tall wooden stake erected in the silted fields under the sea pond.
There was a man hanging on the wooden stake. From the military uniform on his body, it was obvious that he was a major in the Imperial Army!
The next moment, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted: "Captain, Captain Kono!"
When Abe Kaguji looked closely, he found that the stake was hanging on the wooden stake, Toshi Kono, the captain of their first infantry troop! But now he is the former captain!
At this time, the first private to recognize Toshiko Kono had called the other two privates and went forward to put down Kono Toshiko's body from the wooden stake.
Seeing this, Abe Kaguji's hair stood upside down.
"Stop!" Abe Kaguji shouted, "You idiots, stop!"
Unfortunately, due to the excessive environmental noise, the private and the other two second-levels did not hear the warning from Abe Kaguji, and they still used a bayonet to cut the rope and lowered the body.
"Baga!" Abe Kaguji cursed, and his pupils contracted sharply in an instant.
The next moment, violent explosions occurred inside and outside the seawall at the same time. At least hundreds of explosion spots were detonated from the seawall that was more than three kilometers long, instantly blew the entire Jinshanwei into a sea of fire!
It turns out that this corpse is actually a fuse of a large serial thunder!
...
The deck of the cruiser of the podocarat.
Yanagawa Heisuke and Yamada Tetsujiro stood on the deck watching the battle.
Seeing hundreds of red lights suddenly blooming on the shore, the two of them changed their faces.
"Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke said gritting his teeth, "The Chinese people have not retreated yet?"
The combat staff officer Usa Mirō said, "Don't worry, Commander, the Chinese army has withdrawn. The explosion just now is just a landmine buried by them!"
"Is that true?" Yanagawa Heisuke said skeptical.
Did Yanagawa Heisuke really scare the jun on the shore? Do you know whether the Chinese army has really retreated or is it another new conspiracy? Speaking of which, the Chinese commander opposite is really not ordinary cunning!
"Hayi!" Usa Mirō said affirmatively, "The Chinese army must have withdrawn!"
Usa Mitsuru's judgment was quickly verified. Just a few minutes later, the troops who had already landed sent back the information through the flags. No Chinese Jun team was found on the shore!
"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although two days and nights have passed since the first time point of landing on the beach, the early morning of the 5th, Yanagawa Heisuke still felt relieved after learning that the landing on the beach was successful.
At least, his 130,000 army will no longer be trapped on the sea!
At this time, two reserve infantry regiments that were urgently mobilized from Japan had also been transported to Hangzhou Bay, and the 10th Army's troops had rapidly expanded from the initial 70,000 to 130,000!
...
On the shore, Abe Kaguji escaped by luck!
At this moment, Abe Kaguji, who was still in shock, was lying on the sea pond in a daze.
"Hey, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, get up!" A captain officer walked behind Abe Kaguji and kicked Abe Kaguji's right foot in long military boots hard on Abe Kaguji's hip.
Abe Kaguji quickly turned over and got up, closed his feet and saluted: "Captain of the Squadron!"
The captain officer groaned and said, "Hurry up and disturb the troops, restrain the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and be careful to find the bodies of the general!"
"Hayi!" Abe Kaguji paused heavily and rushed to the seawall to gather his troops.
After a while, Abe Kaguji gathered up the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Team, but found that there were less than forty officers and soldiers left in his team, and there were more than a dozen seriously injured people.
Asbe Kaguji calmed down and took more than 30 officers and soldiers from this team to search for the general's body on a battlefield full of Japanese corpses. Which general? Of course it was Morito Tanabe!
Speaking of which, it was because time was too tight, so Guojun didn't have time to clean the battlefield carefully before leaving. If he cleaned the battlefield carefully, he would definitely find that there was a Tanabe Masashiro in the carriage of one of the Type 95 light tanks with a head cut into several pieces by metal turbulence.
At dawn, Abe Kaguji finally found Tanabe Moribu's body.
At this time, Yanagawa Heisuke and Yamada Tejiro had already brought the 10th Army headquarters to the ashore, and the Kantosaki Detachment had occupied the Kinshan Acropolis. Of course, all they had left was an empty city.
"Commander!" Nami Toshiro, who had just replaced Yamada Tetsujiro as the captain of the 41st Infantry Regiment, strode to Yanagawa Heisuke, and said, "The body of Lord Tanabe has been found."
"Is that true?" said Yanagawa Heisuke, "has been found, where?"
Seeing Toshiro turn around and move his hand, Abe Kaguji took two Japanese second-class privateers and carried Tanabe Masamu's body over with a stretcher.
The body was covered with white cloth.
Yamada Tetsujiro stepped forward and opened a corner, looked down again, and saw the extremely dead Moribu Tanabe, whose entire head was cut into several pieces by metal turbulence, and his brain was flowing!
Yanagawa Heisuke sighed lightly and said, "Except for Lord Shirakawa who was assassinated in Hongkou, Shanghai five years ago, Tanabe-kun should be the first general in the empire to die in China in the true sense, right?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused heavily and said, "Your Excellency Tanabe's jade is regrettable!"
"It's not just a regret. Once the news spreads, it may also increase the morale of the Chinese army!" Yanagawa Heisuke paused at this point, and said, "So this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential."
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused his head again and said, "But why do you tell the base camp?"
Chapter completed!
