Chapter 633 Don’t Report Small Losses

Chapter 633 Don’t Report Small Losses

The Japanese soldiers were well-trained, cruel, aggressive, and fearless of death.

Because they are armed with advanced weapons, they regard the Chinese army as grass.

He was arrogant and domineering in the land of China, claiming that he could defeat a hundred people alone.

Now, they suddenly encountered a force with far stronger firepower than theirs, which immediately used poison gas bombs to clear the way, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

The Seya squad suffered a sudden attack, and most of the Japanese soldiers including squad leader Seya were killed on the spot, while the remaining Japanese soldiers fought stubbornly.

Their shooting skills were extremely accurate, and every bullet hit its target within 300 meters, causing certain casualties to the soldiers who had newly joined the elite commando team.

Gan Rong hurriedly ordered: "Reward them with 10 poison gas bombs!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Ten poison gas bombs flew into the group of Japanese soldiers belonging to Seya's squad.

The Japanese soldiers never dreamed that this Chinese army had poison gas bombs. They didn't even bring gas masks. They could only wet towels with urine to cover their mouths and flee in the upwind direction.

Gan Rong continued to order: "Reward 10 more rounds of infantry artillery!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Ten rounds of Type 10 infantry gun fire flew into the enemy's pile again.

The Japanese sergeant was hit by a shell and shouted loudly before he died: "Baga! These are all weapons of the empire. What kind of army is this?"

Like him, other Japanese soldiers fell shamefully on the land of China with endless doubts.

The Seya squad was quickly wiped out, and Gan Rong led his troops towards the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment at the Poto Port Pier.

The poison gas bombs falling like raindrops made the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment deeply feel the horror and abomination of poison gas bombs.

Countless Japanese artillerymen fell to the ground and died, foaming at the mouth and twitching.

Takahashi Taimasa was extremely cunning. When the sound of gunfire rang out, he rushed onto the medium-sized transport ship without caring about the life and death of the Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment.

He shouted in panic: "Captain! Leave the shore quickly."

The captain asked anxiously: "Lieutenant Colonel! Are we going to give up our heavy artillery?"

Takahashi Taisho said helplessly: "There are Chinese troops everywhere. Destroy the heavy artillery and leave quickly."

"Hello!"

The captain accepted the order reluctantly.

As he sailed away from the shore, he ordered the ship's gunners to attack his heavy artillery.

"Boom! Boom!"

Several poison gas bombs landed on his ship.

More than 20 ships came from the reed marsh, shells landed on the deck, and bullets whizzed past.

The captain was so frightened that he didn't bother to destroy the heavy artillery and steered the ship towards Dongting Lake.

Three large transport ships and a warship with a crane were shrouded in green smoke from poison gas bombs. The Japanese naval officers and soldiers fell to the ground and died one after another, and they had no time to set sail from the dock.

At the Potou Port Terminal, most of the Japanese soldiers fell under the green smoke of poison gas bombs.

When Takahashi Taisho saw this, he shouted angrily:

"Baga! The Chinese soldiers dared to use poison gas bombs. I will file a complaint with the International Court of Justice."

The captain smiled bitterly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel! The poison gas bombs are all produced by the Empire. You can't complain."

Takahashi Taisho picked up the radio loudspeaker and shouted: "Oshima Gunboat Squadron! Quickly send gunboats to Potou Port to bombard the Chinese troops."

After a long time, the captain of the gunboat squadron replied: "Lieutenant Colonel Takahashi! The gunboat just bombed Yuanjiang City and has to go back to reload before coming here."

"Baka! I'm so pissed off."

Takahashi Daisho roared loudly and fainted.

Gan Rong led the elite commando team to rush to the Potou Port Wharf, killed all the Japanese soldiers on the shore, and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Seize the ship."

The elite commandos boarded four Japanese warships separately.

"Boom! Boom!" Loud noises one after another.

The four Japanese warships exploded at the same time.

Needless to say, the Japanese captain knew that he had no way to escape and did not want to hand over the warship to the Chinese troops, so he chose to commit suicide by destroying the warship.

Gan Rong looked at the four Japanese warships lying on the dock and thought to himself:

"What a pity! Without these means of transport, these nine heavy artillery pieces can only be destroyed here."

At this time, Ye Shian led more than 20 boats to rush onto the dock.

The dock was littered with the bodies of Japanese soldiers and guns and ammunition were everywhere.

Shockingly, they seized nine 240mm cannons!

The green smoke from the poison gas bomb dissipated, and the elite commandos took off their gas masks and excitedly touched the giant cannon.

The 240mm heavy artillery is a national weapon. Even the Japanese don't have many of them. It would be unreasonable not to have them.

Gan Rong shouted, "Brothers! Clean up the battlefield quickly, turn the cannons around and aim them towards Dongting Lake, and destroy the enemy gunboats at any time."

"Yes!"

All the elite commandos received the order in unison.

Gan Rong sent people to the overturned ships to count the weapons and ammunition. They found tens of thousands of heavy artillery shells, as well as a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food. He immediately sent a telegram to Xiang Chu:

"Commander! We annihilated the Japanese Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment and a Japanese reinforcement squad that invaded Potou Port, and seized nine 240mm heavy artillery and tens of thousands of heavy artillery shells. Unfortunately, four large Japanese warships were overturned at the dock by the Japanese suicide attack."

The surface of Yuanjiang River, Taoyuan section.

The river surface became wider, but the water flow was still very fast.

Xiang Chu ordered all ships to sail at the fastest speed.

He stood at the bow, looking nervously into the sky.

Logically speaking, the Japanese should have learned the news that the 34th Army took the Yuanjiang River route. However, until now, they have not sent bombers to bomb the area, which is indeed not in line with common sense.

Yu Xiaowan shouted happily at the door of the cabin above: "Brother Chu! Gan Rong called and said that he has captured nine of the Japanese 240mm heavy artillery and a large number of shells."

"Great!"

Xiang Chu cheered and hurried back to the cabin.

He took the telegram and read it, and was overjoyed.

Kong Ling said angrily, "Fifty thousand! These nine heavy guns cannot be transported away from the Potou Port dock. It seems that we can only fight the battle with Doihara Xian'er in Potou."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "The heavy artillery will determine the location of the decisive battle! Otherwise, it would be a waste of nine heavy artillery pieces and tens of thousands of heavy artillery shells."

Yu Xiaowan asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Aren't there 10 240mm heavy artillery pieces? Why is one missing?"

“Maybe one of the doors is broken.”

Xiang Chu said without hesitation, and sent a telegram to Gan Rong, "Old Gan! Potou has no strategic location to defend. I am afraid that the Japanese bombers will arrive before dark to bomb the heavy artillery. Please disperse the heavy artillery and hide it in disguise. The main force will rush to Potou Port early tomorrow morning."

Gan Rong replied: "Commander! We are dispersing and hiding the heavy artillery, and are ready to fight against the Japanese gunboats."

Xiang Chu replied to the telegram: "No matter what! We must defend the nine heavy artillery pieces. Potou Port will be the battlefield for our army's decisive battle against the Doihara Brigade!"

Gan Rong replied to the telegram: "Defend the heavy artillery to the death!"

Xiangbei, Nanxian.

Doihara Ken'er followed the route that Guan Yu took to the south and walked into a confused place.

The armored vehicles and heavy artillery were all stuck in the mud, and they were in a dilemma.

Doihara Kan'ei himself was sitting in an armored car stuck in a rice field, still eating bacon, drinking fine wine, and pretending to appreciate the "Spring and Autumn Annals", not in a hurry at all.

Yamashita Yoshiaki translated a message and reported loudly: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General! Takahashi Taisho reported that he was attacked by the vanguard of the Chinese 34th Army at Hanshoupotou and suffered losses."

Doihara Kan'er said angrily, "Tell Takahashi Taisho not to interfere with this lieutenant general's path of following Guan Gong's southern expedition, and to emulate Guan Gong's bravery. Don't report even the smallest losses!"

"Hello!"

Yamashita Yoshiaki hurriedly took the order and sent a reprimanding telegram.
