I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 558

The Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army, who met each other on a narrow road, started a face-to-face but invisible melee like two entangled pythons who suddenly turned against each other. Gunshots rang out everywhere in the mountains, forests, and seas of fog, and the gunshots spread like wildfire. On the other hand, more and more Nanjing Army and U.S. troops who found the enemy and found themselves and the enemy completely in front of their noses participated in fierce battles.

"Travel seat!" Wu Junyi roared with sweat all over his head, "Where are you?"

"I'm fucking right behind you!" Zhang Yunshun grabbed Wu Junyi, "Old Wu! Don't panic!"

"We have an encounter with the US military!" Wu Junyi stared wide-eyed at the bullets blooming everywhere in the dense fog of the night, "The enemy and we are completely mixed together! What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Of course we fought! The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!" Zhang Yun picked up a submachine gun.

"We don't know how many enemy troops there are!"

"The enemy army doesn't even know how many of us there are! We panicked, and they panicked too, even more panicked than us! We have to fight, even if we want to withdraw, we can't withdraw!" Zhang Yun roared, "It must be the [-]st Marine Division of the U.S. Army !Brothers, fuck the Yankee!"

"Traveler, you can't fight!" Wu Junyi changed from being covered in cold sweat to covered in cold sweat, "Brothers, you can't see the enemy at all! Besides, the enemy and us are mixed together, and if you shoot, you will accidentally injure your own family! This damn night! This Damn forest! Damn fog!"

Zhang Yun put down the submachine gun in his hand, raised a rifle and inserted the bayonet: "Give me the order! Mount the bayonet!"

Chapter 643 Attacking the Philippines (7)

"Go on the bayonet!"

"Go on the bayonet!"

"Go on the bayonet!"

In the dense forest of the Zambales Mountains shrouded in endless night and dense fog, one after another, Chinese roars sounded like thunderbolts from the clear sky. These roars are like a string of water droplets that fall first when a storm comes, and quickly become dense. But grand, one response to one call, one call to another, and in an instant, it gathered into a wave of murderous sounds that swept mountains and seas and engulfed thousands of miles. In the dark night and white fog, there were thunderous Chinese roars all over the mountains and plains: " Get the bayonet!"

Night, fog, and dense forest, these three factors that existed at the same time firmly blocked the sight of the soldiers on both sides, and the two sides were completely mixed when they found each other because of the extremely low visibility during the march, making it impossible for both sides to get out and evacuate , The ensuing battle is special, primitive, and cruel, because thermal weapons are almost useless in this natural environment. If the soldiers on both sides do not make a sound, they must get close to each other to the point of face to face or touch The enemy can only be distinguished from the enemy by the military uniform and helmet on the opponent's body, and it is very easy to accidentally injure one's companions by shooting. At this moment, the most effective weapon for killing the enemy is the bayonet.

Accompanied by the piercing "bayonet" Chinese roar, there were dizzy English shouts, angry English curses, and helpless English shouts, followed by heart-piercing English screams like killing a pig. There were sounds in the mountains, in the night, and in the fog, and clusters of bloody rain began to spread crazily in this mountain forest shrouded in night and fog. The strong and pungent smell of blood bloomed everywhere like ripples on the surface of a pond in the rain. The song of death of golden and iron horses was sung loudly, and the dance of death swayed ferociously in the crowd. In an instant, this originally deep and peaceful mountain forest turned into a dark Shura field.

The "bayonet" was followed by a volcanic eruption of "kill", and together with the sound of killing, there were fountains of blood and various hysterical English howls.

Compared with the physique, the Chinese soldiers are inferior to the U.S. military. This is a natural gap between the yellow race and the white race. To stabilize the U.S. military, the Nanjing Army's hand-to-hand combat capability is unmatched by the U.S. military. After the "bayonet battle with both sides blindfolded" broke out, the First Marine Division immediately suffered a big loss.

The first key to hand-to-hand combat is not technology or coordination, but psychological endurance. The First Marine Division is a newly established unit of the US military. This battle is the division's first actual combat, and there are almost no veterans with actual combat experience in the division ( When the United States participated in World War II, Americans with actual combat experience basically participated in World War I, and more than 20 years have passed since World War I, and the American soldiers who participated in World War I were all in their 50s and 17s at this time, and most of them had already retired. A small number of them served as mid-level and high-level officers in the U.S. military at this time. Therefore, almost all grassroots officers and soldiers of the U.S. military are recruits). , and then spread the flustered and chaotic atmosphere to each other, the collective panicked and lost their composure. On the other hand, the Nanjing Army quickly entered a fighting state after discovering the enemy's situation. Almost no one panicked like the U.S. Army. In fact, the [-]th Brigade was uniform from top to bottom. Veterans, even some of the new recruits who joined the army before the war against Britain and the United States, were tempered in the Malaya Campaign and the Singapore Campaign a while ago, and the two sides judged each other.

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" The unique sound of the blade piercing the human body and the screams in English erupted crazily. The sharp bayonets kept blasting hot blood and screaming in English. The U.S. troops who were attacked and killed were in a mess like headless chickens, while the Nanjing Army mixed with them remained calm. The 18th Brigade Chief of Staff Chao Lemen described "fighting is like wolves on the grassland attacking sheep at night. The panicked sheep only know how to run around without parrying." the wolves methodically killed one sheep after another.”

In the melee with black eyes, some Nanjing troops have rich experience in actual combat. They hold their breath, remain silent, and use darkness to cover themselves. Darkness is not an obstacle to them, but a helper. They themselves hide in the darkness, concentrate on Use your ears to search for the place where the English yelling came from, and then leaned up lightly, making sure that the target was right in front of you, stabbed it up without delay, and then moved quickly. Some of the American soldiers who were stabbed were because of It happened to be stabbed at a vital point and died immediately without making a sound. Some were stabbed at a non-critical point and immediately screamed. The pain and fear distorted the screams of the U.S. military. But the unseen enemies are even more terrifying. They screamed in terror and desperately called for help from their companions. The companions around them became even more flustered. Some people couldn't bear the fear and screamed loudly, or ran around, and some people fired indiscriminately regardless of 21 and [-]. This kind of behavior is not so much a counterattack to the Nanjing Army. The Nanjing Army that attacked them continued to listen intently after moving to a nearby distance, looking for the next opportunity to attack, and determined the location and number of US troops through the cries of the US troops, the sound of gunfire, and the flames when they fired, and then quietly Touch it and stab another one or throw a grenade directly, and the American soldiers will be blown up. They seldom shoot because it is difficult to hit, and the sound of the gun will expose themselves.

The Nanjing Army can distinguish the difference between the gunshots of the U.S. Army and its own, but most U.S. troops cannot tell the difference, because this is the ability of veterans, not recruits; Soon they were killing heartily, their spirits were high, and they started fighting with roars. Although their roars exposed themselves, it also made the US military even more frightened.

The roar of Chinese from all directions made the already terrified US troops fall into a state of panic and panic.

Some U.S. troops hurriedly turned on their flashlights. Although the light could penetrate the dark night, it could not penetrate the dense fog. On the contrary, the flashlights not only failed to let them see the Nanjing Army clearly, but also exposed themselves. As a result, they were quickly thrown by the nearby Nanjing Army. He was killed by a hand grenade or a submachine gun of the Nanjing Army.

The hand-to-hand combat in the dark is both strange and cruel. Groups and pieces of American troops gather together in the dark, just like a school of underwater fish hiding in the seaweed between rocks when a fishing boat passes by, trembling, silently guarding and moving. Searching and searching, at the same time, teams of Nanjing troops scattered in the dark like ducks in water to fight on their own. From time to time, soldiers from both sides collided with each other, and then there was a bloody hand-to-hand fight. Slowly, it immediately becomes a dead or wounded person lying on the ground.

The battle area is completely shrouded in darkness and chaos, and the overall situation cannot be described. The roars, howls, and shouts of various accents and languages ​​converge into the howling of ghosts and wolves in this hell. The flames and flashlight beams are like lightning in the dark clouds, and the strong bloody smell is constantly blooming, permeating, and spreading in the humid air. It is impossible to know the situation of the battle in it, just like water droplets do not know the appearance of the sea. Details can only be presented through the personal experience of each participant.

Xi Yazhou, deputy head of the 18th Regiment of the 170th Brigade, described it after the war:

"...This is the most fucking battle I have ever participated in. The dense forest, night, and thick fog made us and the enemy army blind, and we couldn't see anything. I was the deputy commander anyway, but after the battle broke out But I found that there were no guards around me. There must be, maybe tens of meters away from me, maybe a dozen meters away from me, or even a few meters away from me, but they couldn’t see each other. I heard mine. The guards were yelling 'Vice Regiment' and I yelled 'Shut up and don't expose' and they stopped shouting because I heard the English voices of the US Army very close by when my guards were yelling at me Several U.S. bullets flew over, and those U.S. troops who couldn’t see anything like us were firing at places where Chinese was spoken. We must keep quiet, we can’t see, and neither can the enemy.

At this time, there were bursts of shouts of "up bayonet", which should have come from Brigadier Zhang's order. I grabbed the pistol and moved my body carefully in the dark with my cat on my waist. I moved tens of meters away and heard English voices. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my buttocks. I was stabbed by a bayonet. It was stabbed, not stabbed or stabbed. I realized that there was a soldier behind me. I, the soldier, also felt that the bayonet in his hand had just pierced human flesh instead of a tree. He didn't speak, and neither did I. He approached me very carefully, and I approached him too, with a pistol in my hand. , If it was the U.S. military, I would definitely shoot directly. I stretched out my hand and groped in the dark, and touched the opponent's hand. Then, my hand touched his head, and his hand touched mine. I can estimate the position of the head. I touched an M-35 helmet, which is indeed our soldier. At the same time, he touched my officer's soft cap, 'Sir! ' he cried out, he certainly couldn't see me, he didn't know who I was, but he knew that I was a senior officer through my officer's bonnet (junior officers also wear steel helmets),'hmm! ’ I responded in a low voice and said, ‘Let’s go, let’s kill those American troops in front together’, ‘Okay’ He fumbled, holding my bayonet in his right hand and grabbing my clothes with his left hand, and we walked forward together.

The U.S. army we are going to kill should not be many, less than ten people, because I heard no more than ten accents, they are in a panic, shouting constantly, most of their voices are trembling, 'Fuck' is their One of the most frequently spoken words, they are not like us, we are very calm, they are very frightened, it sounds like they are still arguing, they must be at a loss.

The two of us held our breath and leaned forward. I dare not shoot easily. Shooting would reveal our position. After all, the other party also has a gun. The soldier next to me patted me on the shoulder, indicating that he was going to attack. Tightening the pistol, I felt that the soldier beside me suddenly sped up his movements and rushed away. I couldn't see him, but I felt the airflow when he jumped up. Soon, one of the soldiers in the group screamed. The soldier next to me was stabbed with a bayonet, and the rest of the U.S. soldiers immediately exploded, screaming and jumping around, shooting at the same time, and then another U.S. soldier screamed, the soldier The second time he struck, he stabbed the first U.S. soldier and quickly shifted his position, but he didn't run far, probably hiding a few meters away, and then determined the opponent's position through the shouts of the U.S. military, and touched it again, but, his first time After the second success and failed to escape, I heard an American soldier shouting 'Heishere! Icaughthim! (Here he is! I caught him!)' I guess the soldier should have stabbed the second U.S. Army soldier before pulling out his bayonet and not stabbing the vital part. As a result, the rifle was grabbed by the opponent. It's not the fault of that soldier Soldiers, stabbing people in the dark can only do stabbing but not the vital parts of the opponent, because the opponent's position can only be determined by sound but the opponent's body cannot be seen. The rest of the US troops shot in the same direction and shouted at the same time Road 'Killthismotherfucker! (Kill the son of a bitch)', their yells were filled with a rage of fear, and as they fired furiously, the bullets flew, they were actually venting their fear, I clearly Hearing the soldier's muffled snort, my heart felt as if a knife had been twisted, and at the same time I raised my pistol angrily. With a single pistol, I definitely couldn't kill the opponent all at once. I was beaten to death by the rest of the opponent, but I couldn't care less about it. At this moment, I heard the soldier shouting. The soldier was not dead yet, and he was shouting with his last breath, 'Sir!do not come! 'I was stunned for a moment, and then, a dazzling thunderbolt flashed in that place, and the soldier rang the grenade on his body!I immediately understood that the soldier must have been seriously injured. He wanted to drag the American soldiers around him to die together, but he was afraid that I would be accidentally injured by him when I approached, so I shouted that sentence. In the fireball that exploded suddenly, Several U.S. troops were blown to pieces, and those who were injured and still alive screamed on the ground. I heard two U.S. troops who did not scream. The two U.S. soldiers were definitely not injured or were only slightly injured. I already shed tears, crying for the loyal and brave soldier of our side just now. The cries immediately turned into screams, one of them's screams quickly weakened, and he should have been killed by me, and another person spoke again after screaming, I probably missed him, he was begging for mercy, he said' Don't! Don't shoot!I don't want to die!I surrender!Please don't kill me!My mother and my sister are still waiting for me to go back! ' he said and wept. He should know that there was an enemy nearby, which was me, but he had given up resisting.

I hesitated, and pulled the trigger of the pistol at the place where the sound of crying and begging for mercy was heard. The sound of crying and begging for mercy suddenly disappeared, followed by the sound of people falling down.

I don't want to kill this American soldier. General Jiang Weiguo has already given us an order to 'capture the American soldiers as much as possible', but I must kill him for two reasons. One is that I can't capture him, I can't see him, who can guarantee Is his crying and begging for mercy acting?Maybe he was crying and begging for mercy while holding a gun and preparing to kill me. The second reason is that our soldier who died for the country just now. Yes, this American soldier has a family. His mother and sister are waiting for him to go back in the United States. What about our soldiers?Don't you have family?Maybe that soldier from our side just now has a mother and younger sister waiting for him to go back in China!This is what war is like, you die or I die.

... "

Lieutenant Grande Skeener, the company commander of C Company, [-]rd Battalion, [-]st Marine Division, described the destruction of his infantry company after this battle: "...the battle suddenly started, 'China Guys!''There are Chinese guys in front!''There are also on the left!''There are also behind!''We are surrounded!' There were shocking shouts everywhere, which plunged the troops into unprecedented chaos.

We were all extremely caught off guard by this encounter, and the most unacceptable thing for us was that the environment when the battle took place was not suitable for combat at all, there were trees everywhere, it was too dark to see anything, and there was thick fog , the battle happened inexplicably, the brothers didn't know what to do, there were shouts everywhere, we were shouting, the Chinese army was also shouting, they were as unprepared as us, some troops had already fought with the Chinese army There was a lot of gunfire, but it disappeared after a while, because in this case, the probability of shooting the enemy is the same as hitting your own.

I noticed that the Chinese yelling that sounded very weird to us gradually disappeared, but the people on our side were still yelling because of the tension and panic in their hearts.

'what should we do? ''Are we surrounded? ''Where's the Chinaman? ''We can't see them at all! asked the Lianli brothers, their voices trembling, and I shouted, 'Keep calm!Don't panic!We can't see them, and they can't see us! 'I felt several hands tightly grasping on my clothes. The soldiers behind me were grasping me, and the soldiers behind them were also grasping them. Everyone was grasping each other, for fear of losing contact with others and the collective. , Quanlian is like a centipede.

This feeling is really scary, like walking in a virgin forest at night, it’s so dark that you can’t see anything, but there are a large number of wild beasts hidden in the darkness that will take your life at any time, I feel like we are with you Chinese soldiers are playing hide-and-seek with their eyes blindfolded. If they are caught, they will die.

Everyone was holding guns with trembling hands, but they didn't know where to fire. There were shouts and gunshots from time to time, and the whole division was in chaos.

It was a colossal mistake that Master Vandergrift took us across this mountain range at night, but nature is equal, and we are in trouble, as is the other.

Just when I was comforting myself like this, someone in the company screamed, 'Someone stabbed me with a bayonet!My waist was pierced!help me! ’ Everyone immediately became agitated, shouting in horror, ‘Chink!With Chinamen on our side! ''Fire!fire! ''Where to fire?Can't see the enemy! ''Billy, is that you?What are you squatting here for? 'A soldier accidentally kicked a guy by his feet, he touched him and screamed like hell'...Fuck!It's a chink! ''Grenade! 'Someone shouted hoarsely, before they could react, a ball of fire exploded in the crowd, blood and flesh flew all over the place, killing more than a dozen people, the entire company collapsed completely, and the soldiers screamed Running around, a few more grenades flew over from the darkness, falling towards the place where the shouts were loudest and densest, more soldiers were killed and wounded, 'Fuck!Where the hell are the chinks? ’ A soldier howled in a nervous breakdown and fired indiscriminately. Immediately there were several screams, all in English, and someone angrily cursed, ‘Idiot!You hit one of your own!Stop shooting! 'I was completely stunned, the grenade exploded and ignited several trees and several bushes, the flames made me barely able to see a little bit of the scene, a soldier was holding me tightly beside me 'what are we going to do' , I opened my mouth and didn’t know how to answer. There must be Chinese soldiers who touched us, but we didn’t know where they were and how many people there were. They caused us heavy casualties and uncontrollable chaos. At this time, A stream of hot blood splashed onto my face. I looked back and was stunned. There was a bleeding wound on the chest of the soldier who was pulling me. It was a penetrating wound from his back to his chest. And it was caused by a bayonet. He fell slowly. I hurriedly looked behind him, and vaguely saw a black figure disappearing quickly. The attacker, the Chinese soldier, stabbed the soldier beside me to death with a bayonet. transferred.

I really couldn't bear the fear and grief in my heart, I pulled the trigger repeatedly towards the place where the attacker disappeared, and cursed 'Fuck!Get out of here! 'But my actions are doomed to futility.

Those Chinese soldiers are like ghosts in the night, elusive, more like poisonous snakes, they sprang out suddenly and bit us fatally, and then disappeared quickly.

We are completely being beaten and slaughtered next to each other.

'calm down!Calm down!Don't make a sound!Hide well! 'I shouted desperately, I realized that making noises and flashes of fire are exposing myself and making myself a target for Chinese soldiers, and we must hide well, but most of the soldiers have lost their minds, shouting and running around , I don't know where I went, only twenty or thirty soldiers hid in the shadows with me, 'John, what should they do? The soldiers asked me with a pale face. They were referring to those brothers who were injured and fell on the spot, moaning and screaming. Soldiers, let them fall to the ground in pain.

'The wounded brother must be saved! 'I gritted my teeth and ordered,'Jack, James, Dennis, you take five brothers over there! 'Jack They nodded and bent over to the place where the injured brother fell to the ground, there was a fire, we watched with wide eyes, something unfortunate happened, and as they passed, a grenade flew past from the nearby darkness , immediately blowing them to a bloody mess with the wounded brothers on the ground, 'You sons of bitches! We yelled angrily, and fired desperately at the place where the grenade flew out. This was a stupid behavior. We were exposed at once. Soon, the Chinese soldiers hidden in the ambush opened fire and threw grenades at us, and the grenade exploded. I was seriously injured and passed out, and when I woke up, I was already in a prisoner-of-war camp of the Chinese army.

... "

This encounter was completely fought by the Nanjing Army against the U.S. troops. Bayonets and grenades were the two major tools used by the Nanjing Army to continuously harvest the lives of the U.S. troops. During the battle, after the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army met, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army either used the cover of darkness to kill the U.S. troops suddenly, or intentionally killed and wounded the U.S. troops, creating an atmosphere of chaos and terror, forcing more U.S. troops to send out After the Nanjing Army and the Nanjing Army met, both sides remained silent, and then held a bayonet in one hand and touched each other's face, helmet, and military uniform in the dark, so as to distinguish ourselves from the enemy; After the U.S. military met, they fired indiscriminately, and a large number of U.S. troops accidentally injured their own people.

Gradually, the English shouts in the battle area became rare, and there were more screams and wailing in English. The US officers and soldiers of the First Marine Division who had just entered the battlefield were killed horribly by the Nanjing Army. The skin and flesh of the U.S. military were bruised and blood splashed. Those who were stabbed in the heart and lungs died on the spot. Those who were stabbed in the liver screamed like ghosts. Those who were stabbed in the spleen were bleeding like a fountain. Falling to the ground, rolling and struggling, as for those who were stabbed in the face by bayonets, it was even more horrific. The muscles on the face were turned up, the bones were exposed, the eyeballs rolled out of the eye sockets or were smashed by the bayonet, the mouth was torn into gaps, and the tongue hung out. The nose was cut off... The fighting will of the Nanjing Army greatly surpassed that of the U.S. Army. After the injury, the Nanjing Army almost fought desperately to the last breath. Some Nanjing Army did not expose themselves or their companions, but also to find the next enemy to kill. Opportunity, after being injured, he held back the severe pain and kept silent, then stabbed the bayonet at the US military again and threw grenades at the US military. I was smashed to pieces together with a piece of American army, but the American army was completely different. The injured American soldiers basically fell to the ground and screamed, crying for their father and mother. Few people insisted on continuing to fight.

After some injured U.S. soldiers fell to the ground, they cried out in despair and pain: "Momma! Momma!"

"How can this Yankee speak Chinese?" After hearing the cry of "Momma", the Nanjing Army, who mistook it for his own wounded soldiers who came to treat them, looked in amazement at the cry of the U.S. military.

Vandergrift, the commander of the [-]st Marine Division, realized that something was wrong after the battle broke out. The enemy and the enemy were mixed together, and the visibility in the combat area was almost equal to zero. This kind of battle was basically a life-for-life exchange, and he was anxious. , thinking that even if his troops defeated the opponent, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, but the facts soon told him that he thought too much, and his troops would be completely slaughtered.

"Ignite! Ignite!" The extreme anxiety did not make Vandergrift lose his composure. He came up with a way to make this battle more dignified. Under his order, the U.S. military poured gasoline on the Next to the tree, and then lit a fire.

More and more trees and patches of woods were ignited, the night and mist were dissipated by the fire and heat, and one cluster after another gradually lit up in the dark mountain forest, but the situation of the battle was out of control. The mountains and forests are full of the Nanjing Army chasing and killing the US troops, and the US troops are running around everywhere.

Despite a certain battle of beasts, the 18st Marine Division was defeated by the No.[-] Brigade of the Nanjing Army.

Vandergrift rejected the suggestion of his subordinates asking him to retreat, because he could not abandon the subordinates who died here, were wounded here, and scattered here. If he could gather some troops, he might consider retreating, but he simply did not Unable to gather the troops, the [-]st Marine Division was not only defeated, but also dispersed.

Accompanied by dozens of loyal subordinates, Vandergrift personally participated in the battle. In the flames and blood, his subordinates became fewer and fewer, and he was the only one left standing.

Dozens of Nanjing troops surrounded Vandergrift, who lived in a pool of blood, led by Lan Tao, commander of the 18th Regiment of the 190th Brigade.

Throwing away the Thompson submachine gun that had been emptied of bullets in his hand, Vandergrift first tidied up his military uniform calmly, then looked at the Nanjing Army officers and soldiers surrounding him with disdainful eyes, and finally spread his hands: "Shoot!" Go! Savage yellow-skinned monkeys!"

Lan Tao stepped forward, smiled disdainfully, and said in English: "We are not monkeys, we are yellow people.

3000 years ago, we Chinese had created agricultural civilization, and you Americans were still doing the barbaric business of scalping Indians 300 years ago!" He waved, and the soldiers stepped forward to capture Vandergrift alive .

Chapter 644 Attacking the Philippines (8)

The Battle of Bayonet Ridge caused the last U.S. military unit on the Philippine battlefield that was still well organized and full of officers and soldiers to be defeated overnight by the Nanjing Army. The entire army was annihilated, which is unimaginable. After learning of the defeat, President Roosevelt was stunned for a full 5 minutes, and said bitterly, regretfully and worriedly, "I really don't know whether the American soldiers can still fight."

Objectively speaking, the demise of the First Marine Division actually had a lot of "unlucky" factors. The division was considered "unlucky" and "extremely unlucky" in the Battle of Bayonet Ridge. There are even more No.18 Brigades of the Nanjing Army. Although the members of this division are almost all recruits, they are recruits who have received rigorous training after all, and the division can also compete with No.18 in terms of weapons and equipment, ammunition supplies, and firepower. The brigade is evenly matched. If the two sides engage in a head-to-head, upright battle, even if the chances of winning the first marine division are relatively low, they will not be completely wiped out by the opponent. However, the fighting environment at that time was a mountainous forest shrouded in dense fog at night. The key to victory lies in To a large extent, it is determined by factors such as the soldiers' psychological quality, actual combat experience, and tactical means. Although the First Marine Division can be tied with the No.18 Brigade in other respects and even has a certain advantage, but in this In several aspects, it was completely at a disadvantage, so it was defeated by the No.18 brigade who gave full play to its advantages and "attacked the enemy's weaknesses with its own strengths", and the No.18 brigade did not win by luck, it relied on It is strength, and factors such as soldiers' psychological quality, actual combat experience, and tactical means are also an integral part of the strength of an army.

At dawn, the morning light was slightly dew, and the night was clearing away the fog, and the battle gradually ended. The mountains and forests in the fighting area were littered with corpses and blood. The bayonets of the Nanjing Army, and the rest were basically killed and injured by the hand grenades of the Nanjing Army. Since bayonets cannot guarantee to hit the opponent's vital points when killing an enemy in the dark, and the explosive power of the grenade is not as powerful as the artillery shells, so the casualties in the US army Most of them were injured, and the death rate was not high (Nanjing Army veterans with rich experience in actual combat know that killing and injuring the enemy in the night melee is better than killing the enemy, because the injured enemy will keep screaming and wailing The sound and cries for help can not only hit the enemy's morale, shake the enemy's morale, but also use the wounded enemy to kill and rescue the injured enemy's enemy, so the officers and soldiers of the No. Knife, anyway, the wounded U.S. Army will only roll and howl on the ground, it will not be as dangerous as the wounded Japanese, so there is no need to kill).

According to statistics, the No. 18 Brigade of the Nanjing Army has accumulated more than 2000 casualties, of which about 800 were killed, about 500 were killed by the U.S. Army, and about 5000 were injured (most of the wounded U.S. soldiers became prisoners, but some wounded Soldiers were taken away by the fleeing U.S. Army), about 6000 people surrendered and were captured, and four to 5000 people escaped.

"Well done, brothers! You have worked hard!" Looking at the groups of American prisoners, Zhang Yunxi smiled and was very proud at the same time.

Generally speaking, the ratio of casualties between the two sides in hand-to-hand combat is basically about one to one, but the ratio of casualties on both sides in this battle is more than one to three, which is indeed gratifying and proud.

"Notify Liu Brigade of the No. 19 Brigade and ask him to immediately transfer a regiment to receive the prisoners. We don't have so many manpower and time to waste on these prisoners!" Zhang Yun ordered in an orderly manner, "Take away all the US military weapons. , Lan Tao, your [-]th Regiment will temporarily stay and take care of them. When the troops of the [-]th Brigade arrive, you will follow us and provide medical treatment to the wounded American soldiers. Let the American prisoners dig a few here by themselves The big pit is buried!"

"Understood!" Lan Tao greeted, "Brothers, follow the instructions of the brigade!" He immediately saw the deputy head of the regiment, Wang Mingkun, and several translation officers busy among the American prisoners.

"Come out, all the American captives from Washington state!" Wang Mingkun shouted to the crowd of American captives one by one.

The American captives looked at Wang Mingkun, all in doubt and hesitation.

Wang Mingkun seemed a little impatient: "Come out on your own initiative! Otherwise, I will check the origins on the list of your division personnel later and find that they are from Washington State but did not take the initiative to come out. Don't blame me for being rude!"

One after another, more than 100 American captives from Washington State came out in fear.

Wang Mingkun looked at the American captives from Washington State, smiled, and then waved his hands. A dozen guards behind him stepped forward with submachine guns, pulled the trigger unceremoniously, and started shooting. Blood splattered and screams continued, and more than 100 American captives from Washington State were all killed.

"Fuck!" "My God!" The American captives who saw this scene were unprepared. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and their souls were lost, and they all looked at Wang Mingkun with terrified eyes.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yun strode over, looking at Wang Mingkun in surprise and anger, "Who asked you to kill the prisoners? They are the US military, not little devils, or old men! General Jiang Weiguo ordered us not to abuse and kill American prisoners!"

"Traveler, I have a reason!" Wang Mingkun looked solemn.

"Tell me your reasons! If you can't convince me, I'm sorry, I'll dismiss you immediately, please leave my No.18 brigade!" Zhang Yun sullenly.

Wang Mingkun nodded, then turned his head and looked at the trembling American prisoners with dark eyes: "Listen to me! Our Chinese army is a civilized army. If the prisoners do not resist, we will not kill them. However, I made an exception just now and killed these American captives from Washington State, why? Because the Americans in Washington State asked for it!” He said in a stern voice, angry and sad, “My grandfather was in Washington State During the Qing Dynasty in China at that time, my grandfather, like hundreds of thousands of his compatriots who went to the United States, worked in the United States with the American dream of working hard to get rich, digging mines, panning for gold, and repairing railways. They called them For Chinese workers.

In the 80s, the U.S. economy entered a period of recession. Prices rose and wages fell. A large number of American workers took to the streets to demonstrate and demand higher wages. As a result, your American mine owners, company bosses, and entrepreneurs fired their employees in the United States. workers, and instead hired Chinese laborers on a large scale, why?Because we Chinese are hard-working, simple and docile, do more than American workers, and require less pay than American workers, and American workers are unwilling to do hard work, tiring work, and dirty work.

Therefore, you Americans are lazy and cunning, and you blame the Chinese workers for taking your jobs. You Americans do not see the contributions made by the Chinese workers to the economic development of the United States and the development of the western region. The Chinese Act was passed in that year, just in Seattle, Washington State, and in the same year, on September [-], [-], a full-scale anti-Chinese storm was launched in Seattle. The civilized Americans who talk about it beat, smashed, robbed, burned, chased and even killed the Chinese!Seattle's Chinatown was burned to the ground, all the shops and houses of the Chinese were looted, and then they were driven to the port. The whole city was filled with the clamor of "Chinese pigs go away", and the Chinese who were robbed and then beaten to death were considered dead. , were also trampled and humiliated inhumanely, some people were skinned after death, just like what you did to the Indians, some people had their heads cut off or their hands and feet were cut off, some were dismembered, even if they died, you did not give They had a great time, some were scalded to death with tongs, some were hanged to death.

Don't argue that it was the crime of a small group of thugs, all Americans in Seattle, all Americans in Washington State are guilty!After the massacre, the Seattle police arrested sixteen of the most criminal thugs. The jury declared them innocent. When they were released, a large number of citizens greeted them as if they were heroes.

This is the Rock Springs Massacre.

You Americans have forgotten or deliberately pretended to forget, but we Chinese have not forgotten!We Chinese do not take the initiative to do evil, but it does not mean that we are easy to bully. We will retaliate against those who do evil to us.

This is revenge, understand?American pigs! "

The American prisoners listened in silence.

Wang Mingkun took a breath and looked at Zhang Yun: "Traveler, I'm done!"

Zhang Yun looked at Wang Mingkun, nodded, "Don't be so explicit next time!" Then he turned and walked away.

After the battle to defeat the First Marine Division, the No.18 Brigade took a short rest, leaving one regiment to guard the prisoners and search for the remnants of the US army. The other two regiments continued to march triumphantly, crossed Bayonet Ridge, and rushed all the way to Manila along Manila Bay. .

Of the four U.S. divisions, three were on the Lingayen Bay battlefield and had already been severely damaged, and one was knocked out at Bayonet Ridge, so there was nothing to stop the Nanking Army from taking Manila.

On the evening of April 4, the 7th Brigade of the Nanjing Army approached the city of Manila. Because the 18th Brigade was too fast, and the residents of Manila never expected that the 18st Marine Division, which was going to stop the Nanjing Army, would be defeated overnight. There was no time to escape, and the two divisions of the Philippine Army in Manila fled or surrendered almost without firing a shot, making the city fall into the control of the 18th Brigade of the Nanjing Army without bloodshed. All the passages in and out of the city were blocked, and one of them held a ceremony of entering the city brazenly.
