At the end of a battle, Miki Yoshinosuke's forces undoubtedly defeated some of the officers and men of the attacking Fifth Army Supplementary First Regiment.
Fastest updates This battle lasted more than an hour, and the troops under Miki Yoshiyuki were later referred to as Miki's troops, more than 1,500 people, automobiles, anti-aircraft guns, infantry guns, baggage, and infantry were actually not fully launched, and only squadron-level units were sent to repel the squadron's attack.
Most of the main force was still on the road, and the Type 94 anti-aircraft guns supporting the infantry only removed their towing gear, turned the muzzle of the guns and began to fire.
The Japanese army began to clean up the battlefield and clear the positions, including the equipment and weapons left behind by the squadron, which had to be collected.
In front of Miki's troops, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers killed in the attack were still lying on the road, and in the first round of raids, the Japanese soldiers at the forefront of the team were the fastest to die because of the factors of the raid, and there were several mules and horses that were killed on the road, and the ammunition and materials on their backs were scattered all over the ground.
For cars and artillery, it is impossible to move forward without clearing it.
The commander of Miki's unit, Miki Yoshinosuke Osa, wore the usual combat uniform of an adjutant and maintained the majesty that an Osa's officer should have.
Next to the 94-type automatic car in which he was riding, he waited for the report of the subordinate officer.
This kind of small battle has been experienced too much along the way, and he doesn't even need to command it after the fight, and the squadron-level counterattack can independently solve these attacking squadrons, but the constant harassment and regrouping of troops after each defeat is too time-consuming.
Miki's troops are the second batch of reinforcements that set off after the Takeda Brigade, to be precise, the second batch of reinforcements sent by the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division along the Nanbin Highway, and there will be a third or even a fourth batch of reinforcements in the future, but the reinforcements are not only here on Nanbin Road.
The rest of the Fifth Division is also supporting the Kunlun Pass operation in other directions, but relatively speaking, the reinforcement path of the 21st Brigade is the fastest, and it can be fought along the road, which is why the Fifth Army put two supplementary regiments plus one main division on the Nanbin Road, just to deal with the reinforcements sent by the 21st Brigade.
The reinforcement of the 21st Brigade is actually very embarrassing, and its reinforcement is in the form of division of troops and batches.
On the one hand, the Japanese troops had tasks and were in a scattered state, and another important reason was that because of the lack of vehicles, the first batch of reinforcements could only be an infantry brigade, and then a reinforced brigade led by Miki, and the lack of transportation seriously limited the reinforcement of the 21st Brigade.
The degree of mechanization of the Japanese army can only bully and bully the squadron, if you raise vehicles, after the capture of Nanning, you can't recruit much from the people, whether it is the squadron or the Chinese people, they have few cars, and the Japanese army can only attack mules and horses.
Miki quickly got a report from his men.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our troops defeated the enemy troops who attacked by surprise, killed 79 enemy soldiers, captured 32 rifles and 2 light machine guns, and killed 11 of our warriors and wounded 10 people."
A Japanese captain reported.
Miki Yoshinosuke's face remained as usual, and he did not react to the casualty figures, which showed that the casualty figures were within Miki's acceptable range.
Although the casualties in this battle were already the largest casualties of Miki's troops in the raid, more than 20 casualties.
On the contrary, for the number of seventy-nine killed, it was also the largest loss of all raids, almost reimbursing an infantry company.
"Wing Commander, this is the badge and ID taken from the corpse of the enemy, it is a soldier of the first regiment of the enemy's Fifth Army, and this time the number of the enemy's second regiment has not been found."
The captain handed a bloody badge and officer ID to Miki Yoshinosuke, who took off his gloves and took the badge and officer ID card handed by the captain.
These two identification symbols were taken from the fallen officers and soldiers, the badge was torn from the military uniform, and the ID card was the only thing that the officer had.
Miki opened his badge and looked at his badge, one was that of a lieutenant officer, and the other was the badge of an ordinary private.
The numbers shown above are all "The First Field Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army of the Army." ” Miki said, "Clear the road and move on." ” Miki tossed his ID and badge aside.
After each raid, Miki would search for the badge on the corpse, and the Fifth Army would replenish the 1st Regiment, and each time he searched for the number marker, it was on the number mark.
Sometimes there will be the number of the Fifth Army's field supplementary second regiment, but more often than not, the enemy troops with the number of the fifth army's supplementary regiment are attacking and fighting.
Miki shook his head, the same number, the same tactics and results, of course he knew the purpose of the squadron's raid, but there was really no way to solve it, it was really infuriating.
"After cleaning the battlefield, set off as soon as possible" "Yes" The soldiers of Miki's unit pushed away the corpses of Japanese soldiers and mules and horses that were blocking the advance on the road, collected the scattered supplies, and quickly cleared the road of debris caused by the fierce fighting.
Because Miki was in a hurry to advance, it was impossible to dispose of the corpses carefully, and the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers were all torn off their identification cards and ranks, and at the same time the little fingers of the fallen soldiers were cut off with bayonets.
When the corpses of Japanese soldiers cannot be taken away or buried, they generally cut off their little fingers or arms for disposal and cremate them as remains.
The situation of Miki's troops today is not because of a death battle, but because they are really urgent, and they want to continue to reinforce in the direction of Kunlun Pass.
Now Miki's own battle situation is not fierce, but burying these corpses, doing a good job of the aftermath and recording is also a waste of time, and the impact is on the reinforcement of Kunlun Pass.
Removing the identity tag of a fallen Japanese soldier and the item representing the identity and cutting off the finger, one minute was enough, and the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were disposed of in a few minutes.
The bodies were then stacked on the side of the road, with military caps or steel helmets covering their foreheads.
As for the corpses, the Japanese army didn't care at all, and they were piled up in place.
The confiscated equipment, dozens of Hanyang-made and Zhongcheng, but they were put into the cars of the Japanese army, and they were loaded together with the weapons and equipment of the dead Japanese soldiers, and these weapons belonged to "captured goods," and they could not be discarded at will.
"Order the vanguard, continue the search, and all prepare to go" Yoshinosuke Miki returned to the Type 94 truck in which the mobile command post was riding, and after a simple and urgent handling of the battlefield and the road, more than 1,500 members of Miki's unit were about to continue to advance.
A large number of heavily armed Japanese infantry were waiting for the day, the Type 94 anti-aircraft guns were reloaded with towing gear, and the Oriental horses, which had been rested, were about to pull the goods forward.
As soon as Miki's Type 94 truck was about to start, the voice of the lieutenant officer came from the back compartment.
"Your Excellency, Captain Takeda of the 1st Brigade has an urgent telegram":
