Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

The firepower of these 130 M60 squad machine guns is comparable to that of 130 MG42 general machine guns....

After all, this is an American version of the MG42.

American soldiers have also been using this equipment for a long time.

The commander of the First Division, Zhang Dabiao, also had his eyes shining after seeing so many machine guns.

"Ok?"

"The commander sent you to deliver it?"

"This is specifically for supplies..."

Zhang Dabiao directly picked up an M1 squad machine gun.

The weight is not very heavy to begin with. A soldier can pick it up. It is much lighter than a bulky thing like the Type 92 heavy machine gun...

Then he started loading some more bullets.

Ta da da... Ta da da...

Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but give it a try.

There is also indescribable love on his face.

"What a gun... what a gun..."

"Light and convenient...just like a submachine gun...mainly because this machine gun is quite easy to use..."

"Relatively simple to operate...not bad, not bad..."

"The commander does have a good conscience..."

"Immediately send a telegram to the commander... saying that our first division has killed all the Japanese regiment... and immediately wait for the next wave of Japanese attacks..."

Zhang Dabiao said to a staff officer beside him.

"Yes! Master!"

"Oh... By the way, since the commander has sent these machine guns... let's all give it a try..."

"Distribute it directly... I can study it carefully while the soldiers are resting..."

"When the next battle begins, that will be our hunting time!"

......

And outside Taiyuan City.

Now an army of thirty thousand has been assembled.

However, this 30,000-strong army does not include the other two B divisions.

Instead, they are independent mixed brigades and puppet troops.

The current Sixth Division has killed more than 5000 people...

There are only a few people left in Taiyuan City...

The remaining more than 8000 people, including more than troops, are all nearby puppet troops...

There are more than 5000 from another independent mixed brigade, the th Brigade.

This is enough for the current number of people...

Although the puppet troops are large enough, their combat effectiveness is basically non-existent.

Especially in such a large-scale battle, it is impossible for either Tanishufuku or Shinozuka Yoshio to let them attack the independent column...

The only option is to die, they might as well defend the city in Taiyuan City...

In that way, it can still exert a certain degree of combat power, but on the battlefield, it can only be like a living target.

Even many of these puppet troops are soldiers from various units who surrendered... and some are officers who graduated from martial arts halls.

However, the overall combat effectiveness is still too poor.

Most of them are gangsters... There is no training system at all.

When Zhang Yunqing made the plan at that time, he didn't pay attention to these small puppet troops at all and indirectly ignored them.

Here, Shinozuka Yoshio is discussing things with Tani Jufu.

"General Shinozuka Yoshio... One day has passed..."

"Our situation is not very good..."

"According to intelligence from the front...the independent column has set up a large number of troops in Yuci County and Shouyang County..."

"One of my infantry regiments was killed in just two hours in Yuci County... A major general brigade commander also died..."

Speaking of this, Gu Shoufu's eyes revealed a trace of ferocity.

This is his favorite brigade leader, and he may take over from him in the future.

If he becomes the commander of the First Army in the future, then Yamanoji will be the division commander of the Sixth Division...

Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, now the army was at a disadvantage and was directly killed by a unit of the independent column.

And it was within just two hours.

Why wouldn't he be angry?

However, Yoshio Shinozuka felt a little happy in his heart when he heard this.

"General Gu Shoufu...now you finally know the strength of the independent column..."

"Our Class A divisions at the beginning underestimated the enemy...that's why they seized on their weaknesses and directly annihilated them..."

"This independent column not only has a lot of aircraft, artillery and tanks...their soldiers also have very strong fighting qualities..."

"The soldiers we fought against them in the past came back and said...even if two of them fought one...they couldn't beat the ordinary soldiers of an independent column..."

Shinozuka Yoshio also allowed Tanishufuku to see the strength of the independent column, which showed that it was not that he was incompetent in command.

But the strength of the independent column is simply too strong.

It's normal for them to be killed.

Tanishufuku also knew what Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to say.

However, he did not continue to answer the call.

"General Shinozuka Yoshio... In addition, the 22nd Independent Mixed Brigade in Shouyang County also sent a telegram..."

"The troops of their independent column are also very strong. Just for the plane bombing, more than 30 planes were prepared..."

"Immediately afterwards there were dozens of tanks chasing them..."

"Now, they have escaped...but they have also lost three thousand soldiers..."

"Only the independent column in the Wanjialing area did not release too many troops..."

"One of my infantry regiments suffered more than a thousand casualties and was already overwhelming... We captured the positions of the independent column one by one..."

When Gu Shoufu said this, even he didn't believe it.

Why are the troops of the independent columns on both sides so strong, but the troops in the Wanjialing area in the middle are not very strong...

Could it be that my infantry regiment is too strong...

However, he also knew one thing.

At that time, there were only a dozen independent column bombers and fighter jets in total bombing the infantry regiment in the Wanjialing area...

And there are not many tanks...

It seems that there are only a few Type 95 light tanks produced by the Imperial Arsenal...

This puzzled him.

However, if you don’t understand it, you won’t understand it.

What needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Now, General Shinozuka Yoshio..."

"Our soldiers have sacrificed more than 8000 people..."

"This shows how powerful the independent column is. We cannot underestimate the enemy!"
