Chapter 1377: Sneak Attack (Thanks for Your Past Donations!)

Kondo Goki is the commander of the 16th Division Artillery Regiment of the Central China Front Army, with the rank of Colonel.

In recent times, Kondo Goki has been living a good life.

The reason is very simple. He has made many military achievements recently.

The key point is that these military achievements are not dangerous.

In other words, he can be rewarded for his meritorious service without worrying about being injured or even killed.

On the other hand, the infantry who charge on the front line have a very high casualty rate.

Of course, this casualty rate is definitely much smaller than that of the Chinese defense forces.

It must be said that compared with most of the middle and low-level devils, Kondo Goki is special.

The special thing is that all kinds of brainwashing that has been overwhelming for decades, such as militarism and Bushido spirit, have no effect on Kondo Goki.

In Kondo Goki's view, being alive is worse than anything else.

To put it bluntly, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Even within its small circle, it often privately mocks those devils who are proud to die on the battlefield if they disagree with each other.

"Yoshi!"

As an important siege officer of the Central China Front Army, Kondo Goki once again praised himself for thinking that he would soon be recorded in history.

Kondo Goki was in a good mood, and his subordinates were also affected.

Naturally, the atmosphere in the field command of this regiment was very harmonious.

In fact, it was their rest time now.

According to the unified order of the Central China Front Army Headquarters and the 16th Division Headquarters, this artillery regiment poured several rounds of artillery shells on the Chinese position in Zijin Mountain.

The artillery bombarded first, and the infantry rushed back.

If it doesn't work, then another round.

If it doesn't work again, that is, the Chinese position is too strong and the Chinese soldiers are too brave, they will call for aircraft bombing.

With the advantage of heavy weapons that can explode Chinese troops from a long distance, each devil unit will basically crush them all the way.

Yes, let's not talk about a division, just talk about a Japanese battalion.

The firepower of a Japanese battalion is equivalent to a Chinese brigade.

Even, it is equivalent to a Chinese division!

An ordinary Japanese battalion, when fully staffed, has only 1,100 people.

On the other hand, a Chinese brigade has a strength of about 5,000 people.

A Chinese division has a strength of about 10,000 people.

The firepower is seriously inferior to the Japanese troops. The point is that in terms of the military quality of the soldiers, most Chinese soldiers are seriously inferior to the Japanese.

In fact, even the teaching corps, which is famous for its strong combat effectiveness, is not the opponent of the Japanese in terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

The most important thing is that with the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, this teaching corps has long been unworthy of its name.

Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the Battle of Shanghai.

In the Battle of Shanghai, most of the elite Chinese troops set foot on the battlefield.

Of course, the teaching corps is no exception.

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Shanghai, facing the numerous Japanese aircraft, especially the bombing of various large-caliber naval guns, these elite troops suffered heavy losses.

Most of the front-line soldiers and most of the low-level officers were injured.

That's not all. There were also many officers who died directly on the battlefield.

The key point is that before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, most of the heavy weapons that these troops had finally allocated were destroyed by the Japanese bombing.

If Ye Tian had not led the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to turn the tide, the losses of these main elite troops would definitely be greater.

In fact, in the real history of the Battle of Shanghai, the losses of these main elite troops mostly occurred during the retreat.

During the retreat, because of the deaths and injuries of many middle and low-level officers, the command of many troops failed.

In other words, the order of the retreat was not ordinary chaos.

Naturally, facing the pursuit from the three directions of the Japanese army, sea and air, these troops that lost their command suffered a massacre by the Japanese pursuers.

For a period of time after the Battle of Shanghai, these main elite troops received various supplements.

However, these supplements made the officers of these main elite troops laugh and cry.

The heavy weapons that were originally well equipped were reduced by at least half.

The most important thing is that most of the supplemented soldiers are recruits without any foundation!

It is conceivable how difficult it would be for the Chinese garrison troops to fight.

The Chinese troops were very passive, while the troops of the Central China Front fought very easily.

Otherwise, a big devil like Kondo Goki would not be so relaxed, let alone so happy.

Just when Kondo Goki and his friends were relaxed and happy, and even made all kinds of jokes, suddenly, something strange happened.

"Swoosh, swoosh..."

Suddenly, one shell after another flew directly to this area.

The devils were not stupid. They sensed something was wrong and reacted immediately.

On the one hand, in accordance with the provisions of the "Army Military Drill Manual", they threw themselves on the ground regardless of whether there were any dangerous obstacles in front of them.

On the other hand, they were thinking about launching a counterattack as soon as they fell to the ground.

In fact, even Colonel Kondo Satoki fell to the ground.

However, it was passive.

The reason is very simple. Kondo Satoki has been living a comfortable life during this period of time and always feels light and airy.

Plus, it was old and its reaction speed was not as fast as that of young people.

Naturally, most of the Japanese soldiers in the headquarters fell down, but Kondo Goki was still in a daze.

Kondo Goki was in a daze, but the Japanese guard who was responsible for protecting it was very loyal to his duty.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, the Japanese guard slammed Kondo Goki's forehead against the sharp corner of the table.

"Ah... Howl..."

Accompanied by a scream, a large amount of blood spurted out from Kondo Goki's forehead.

There was too much blood, and it easily flowed through its stinky face and flowed down.

In an instant, Kondo Goki became a bloody man.

"Baga, all of them are dead!"

For many years, he had never been hurt.

Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured in this siege.

For this, Kondo Goki was simply furious.

Subconsciously, Kondo Goki thought about beating up the Japanese guard.

However, the sound of explosions one after another quickly calmed him down.

What made Kondo Goki depressed and frightened was that the explosions were actually very close to him.

Under the control of a strong desire to survive, Kondo Goki had no time to deal with the guard.

"What? The work of anti-aircraft guns? The work of German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns?

Baga!

Counterattack quickly, quickly!"

In fact, before Kondo Goki gave the counterattack order, the Japanese who were responsible for operating many cannons had already entered the role.
