Chapter 109:Collapsing Japanese Army (3rd Update)

The 11th Field Division, who received the order, left the ready offensive front and took the battle formation towards the port of Sasebo.

When the artillery fire was ready, the 11th Field Division was ready for a full-scale attack, under the cover of night, the front of the attack was pushed to the mountainside less than two kilometers from the port of Sasebo.

About 60 meters from the basin where Sasebo is located, the Vanguard has built a simple attack position here.

After the start of the shelling, some lucky soldiers in Sasebo fled to the range of artillery fire.

The barracks of the 100,000 reserve, escaped a lot of people, many of them sentinels on duty in the barracks, holding weapons in their hands, more after waking up from their sleep, the Japanese soldiers who ran out of the camp in a hurry, and their clothes were not worn, so that they could instinctively grab the weapon, and then ran out.

However, the trained reserve troops are not combat troops on the front line, and the weapons in their hands do not have standing bullets.

Except for the sentries, the soldiers who did not even have clothes were in the hands of the soldiers, and the arms and fire sticks were similar.

The artillery fire in the rumble, the barracks were destroyed in heavy artillery fire, and the temporary camp, whether wooden houses or tents, could not be seen intact.

Most of the soldiers were burned to death by fire, and a considerable part of them died directly under the explosion.

At this moment, these completely overwhelmed Japanese soldiers are lying at the foot of the mountain, watching the camp and Sasebo hundreds of meters away.

Some of the officers who escaped were trying to restore courage and combat effectiveness to those who had escaped from the scene of death in order to cope with the ensuing battle.

Attacks came from enemy fleets outside the port, and artillery came from the mountains on both sides of Sasebo, as was well known to Japanese officers of all levels who had survived.

These Japanese officers who graduated from the military academy were well aware of what to do at this time.

Constantly closing the fleeing soldiers, counting weapons and ammunition.

But the result is very unsatisfactory, the weapon two people can not be divided into one, a rifle is not even two bullets.

This allowed all the surviving Japanese officers to instantly sink their hearts into the bottom, not that they did not want to counterattack the mountains on both sides and destroy the enemy's artillery positions, but that they were powerless.

Under these officers, the surviving Japanese soldiers were not sitting and waiting to die.

Entering the rescuers and salvage materials that have been covered by artillery fire and fire, it is almost impossible, the only soldier who can do it is to notify the Sasebo Town Guard and the Nagasaki Town Guard, and hold here before the arrival of the reinforcements.

Near Sasebo, there are two fully armed garrison houses, one is the Sasebo town guardhouse established five years ago, and the other is the Nagasaki town guard.

Each of the two towns has a garrison, each with a brigade, some active-duty soldiers plus a part of reserve soldiers, and a cavalry joint in the Sasebo town garrison, and the Nagasaki Township garrison also has a field artillery joint.

The total number of troops added up to a standing division, and there are many newly recruited veterans and strictly trained recruits, and the combat effectiveness is not inferior to the Korean military forces at this moment.

The situation in the port of Sasebo, Sasebo Town Guard must know, so as long as it sticks here, the reinforcements of the town's palace will soon arrive.

The gunfire continued, and the surviving officers were ready to build their defenses on the spot and chose to stay close to the foot of the mountain so that they could avoid the other side's mountaintop fire.

However, when the 11th Field Division began to operate, these Japanese surviving soldiers who were hiding at the foot of the mountain were shaky, and the two field artillery brigades had long known.

The port of Sasebo was handed over to the 2nd Fleet, and the two field artillery brigades began to cooperate with the infantry to prepare for the attack.

Although it is like the movement of the mountain and the angle of the muzzle, it is impossible to attack the Japanese surviving soldiers who are hiding at the foot of the mountain, but it can easily attack the target at the foot of the opposite mountain.

The recalibrated artillery that fired the yuan, so that the explosion in Sasebo was suddenly loosened a lot.

However, the surviving Japanese officers did not immediately realize that this was most likely the enemy's artillery and was targeting themselves as the next target.

Re-adjusting the shooting of the Yuan, part of the artillery of the two artillery brigades, once again made a roar, howling shells, and streaking across the night sky.

A large number of Japanese officers who were reorganizing their troops, as the shells approached, were a little shaved in an instant, and a fast-reaction lieutenant could only shout: "Hurry up and lie down..."

Most of the soldiers had not yet reacted, the shells had been blown up at the foot of the mountains on both sides, and the field howitzers were less lethal than the guns, but they were used against these targets without bunkers.

The dense shells howled, and the large number of surviving Japanese soldiers in the woods at the foot of the mountain were once again dominated by fierce artillery fire, and the fear of being crushed was born again.

Several rounds of shells fell one after another, the Japanese soldiers who were still alive, lying in the dead branches and rotten leaves, many people were wet and croaked, crying, shouting each other.

Limbs were broken, blasting burning trees, and bodies that had been torn by the explosion flew.

Japanese soldiers who have not been dominated by Samurai, only the patriotic ideas that have been instilled, and although they have been trained for a year, they are not expected to be afraid of those who have not yet been on the battlefield.

A young Japanese soldier, who may be only 18 or nine years old, put his head in the dead and covered his head, and suddenly there was a sound of smashing in front of him.

When he plucked up the courage to raise his head, not far away, in front of him was the upper half of the half-corporation, the stomach was blown away, the mutilated upper body, the intestines and liver were dragged all over the ground, the flesh and blood were blurred, the mouth was still guttering and blood bubbles, one eye staring straight at him, and the eyes were full of heart-wting desire.

He looked at the eyes and saw the last look in his eyes.

“Ah!”

The eyes of the stunned God swept across a bowel at the nearest, and the next second the peeed out, the young soldier who could no longer bear it, shouting "Liao Shaanxiang" got up from the ground and ran wildly to the outside of the woods.

Just on the edge, a second lieutenant wanted to hold the young soldier who had collapsed, but he took a slow step, and after running out for a few dozen meters, a shell blown in front of him, and in the fire, the fragile body was instantly torn to pieces.
