Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 263 Phase 2 Defensive Operations (4)

Commander Cai of the new 210th Division also went through ten terrifying minutes. He let out a long sigh only after the Japanese artillery fire stopped. After the Japanese artillery fire stopped, he realized that his palms were sweating from nervousness.

"Damn it, this time of fear and worry is really uncomfortable. Now, haha, the Japanese army is going to ride on our new 210th Division's homemade planes, haha." Commander Cai finally put down the binoculars in his hand and quietly wiped his hands on his military uniform.

After the shelling stopped, the commander of the 161st Battalion of the st Regiment of the Japanese Army, Major Genichi Mon, commanded the officers and soldiers of the st Battalion to launch a charge. They needed to get as close to the Chinese army's position as possible before the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side entered their combat positions.

As long as their troops get close to the Chinese army's position, they can take advantage of their huge advantages in archery and weapons and equipment, and easily defeat the Chinese army on the opposite position. This tactic has been tried and tested on the battlefields of China.

The officers and soldiers on the front-line positions of the new 210th Division also crawled out from the various anti-artillery holes on the positions after the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped. However, they did not rush into the shooting positions in a particularly nervous manner. Instead, they arrived at their respective shooting positions at a normal speed, waiting for the commander's firing order.

"Hurry up, aim and shoot. The wounded should retreat in advance. Let's fight decently and show some momentum, so that the Japanese can have a taste of the power of our new 210th Division. Listen to my orders and fight!" A lieutenant colonel shouted loudly on the battlefield to boost everyone's morale.

Following the officer's order, a fierce burst of gunfire immediately rang out on the position of the New 210th Division, and the momentum of the entire position suddenly increased. The gunfire also caused the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion, who were charging quickly, to lie on the ground after more than 210 of them were knocked down, and they started shooting at the officers and soldiers of the New th Division with their weapons.

In terms of shooting accuracy, the Japanese army was clearly at an advantage. The New 210th Division was able to maintain its firepower by relying on its numerical advantage. However, after more than ten minutes of shooting at the Japanese army, the New 210th Division's positions were a bit lacking in strength, which gave Major Genichi Menkou, who was directing the heavy machine gun shooting, hope of a breakthrough.

"Use the heavy machine guns to suppress the Chinese troops on the opposite position. The Chinese army can't hold on any longer. Try harder." Major Yuan Yi shouted to the two heavy machine gunners beside him at the door.

"Okay, that's a good performance. Let the troops in the front withdraw in batches. After the Japanese enter the position, wait for my order to detonate the explosives. We must kill more Japanese this time." Commander Cai looked at the situation in front, and then gave the order with interest.

The officers and soldiers on the front-line positions of the new 210th Division began to evacuate gradually in order. They quickly withdrew to the second line of defense with the bodies of the seriously wounded and the dead soldiers, which gradually weakened the firepower on the positions.

At the door, Major Genichi saw that the firing from the Chinese army's position opposite had become very weak, so he ordered the attacking force in front to advance slowly to prevent the Chinese army from carrying out any conspiracy.

To be on the safe side, Major Yuan Yi at the door only let a squadron of officers and soldiers advance forward cautiously. He felt that even if the Chinese really did some shady tricks on the position, his troops would not suffer too serious losses. When it was confirmed that the position was safe, he would lead the large troops up.

When the officers and soldiers of this Japanese squadron carefully rushed into the front-line position of the New 210th Division, they found that all the officers and soldiers of the New 210th Division had fled. However, the officers and soldiers of this Japanese squadron were not as happy as if they had occupied the Chinese position. Now they were searching carefully for some suspicious places in the position with fear.

Lieutenant Colonel Yuan Yi, who was at the door, was also one of the squadrons of officers and soldiers who entered the Chinese army's position. He was nervously holding a telescope to observe the situation in the front position. He was also very nervous now, and kept silently chanting words like "Amaterasu may bless you" in his heart.

After about fifteen minutes, a soldier came to the door with a rifle on his back and reported to Major Yuan Yi: "Captain, we have carefully searched the Chinese army's position and found nothing suspicious. There are also some weapons and equipment abandoned by the Chinese army on the position. The squadron leader thinks that the Chinese army has indeed retreated, and the Chinese army has another defensive position in the back. We have occupied their first position."

After hearing the soldier's report, Major Genichi Menkou's tense heart finally relaxed. It seemed that the commander's analysis and judgment was still accurate. The Chinese army did not use the previous trick again. As for the Chinese army's position behind, Major Genichi Menkou felt it was normal. The first line of defense is generally a tentative defense, and the real battle is behind.

"Yes, all troops enter the front positions and prepare to launch an attack on the Chinese army's second line of defense. Also report the situation here to the commander of the regiment." Major Yuan Yi straightened his chest at the door and ordered the people around him with a bit of complacency.

Major Genichi Menkou was very satisfied with his troops' initial victory. After all, the opponent was the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government. Although this victory only defeated the first line of defense of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government, it was also the result achieved by his troops after more than 30 minutes of fierce shooting.

At the same time, Major Genichi Menkou also had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese Government. The New 22nd Army of the Chinese Government is indeed the ace force of China. If other Chinese troops were used to fight against his own troops, they would have been defeated by his own troops long ago. However, the New 22nd Army of the Chinese Government could actually fight against his own troops for 30 minutes and still retreat calmly and orderly. This really made people look at it with admiration.

Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida, commander of the 161st Regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Madoka Shimizu, chief of staff, who were watching the battle at the starting position, were also nervous when they saw the soldiers of the st Battalion rushing into the Chinese army's position. Although Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida had previously analyzed to Major Genichi Mon that the Chinese army would not use the same tactics again, they were still very worried. After all, most of what they had said before was just to appease Major Genichi Mon.

"Your Excellency the Regiment Commander, Major Genichi at the door did a very good job. I saw that he only let a squadron-sized force enter the Chinese army's position. This was done very well." Lieutenant Colonel Shimizu Madoka, the Regiment Commander, said while holding a telescope and looking at the position in the distance.

The commander of the regiment, Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida, also nodded and said, "Well, Major Genichi at the door did a good job. He sent some officers and soldiers to go up first, but he was on guard against the Chinese army's dirty tricks. That's good."

Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida, commander of the 161st Regiment, led his troops into the first line of defense of the new 210th Division. He looked at the occupied positions and asked a squadron leader beside him, "Have you checked the positions? We must not let the Chinese army take advantage of the loopholes. Be careful and check the positions again to make sure there is nothing missed."

Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida was still a little worried and asked someone to check the situation on the battlefield. He was always worried about what new tricks the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government would come up with, and he was still nervous and had not completely relaxed.

"Division Commander, the Japanese troops have landed on the position. Can we detonate the explosives?" The commander of the new 210th Division asked nervously to Division Commander Cai beside him. He felt that the explosives could be detonated now. If the Japanese troops discovered something, the effect of the explosion would not be as good as it is now.

Commander Cai also waited for a while before saying, "Okay, it seems that the Japanese are still very cautious. The troops behind have not entered the position. One battalion of Japanese troops is enough."

Obviously, Commander Cai wanted to wait a little longer until more Japanese troops entered the position before detonating the explosives, so that he could brag about it when he saw Zhang Wenwu again.

Everyone is using the same method. You see, I killed more Japanese soldiers. This shows that you, Zhang Wenwu, are still too young and impatient. But there is no way now. Last time, Zhang Wenwu also wiped out a battalion, and this time I also wiped out a Japanese battalion. There is nothing to brag about, not to mention that this method was learned from the New 100th Division.

Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida, commander of the 161st Regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Madoka Shimizu, chief of staff, were also preparing to lead follow-up troops into the Chinese army positions in front. When they had just finished organizing the troops, they heard a loud noise from the front, which surprised Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida very much. How could the First Battalion in front, which was so cautious, be ambushed by the New nd Army on the Chinese position?

"Hurry, Kawakami-kun, get the troops to the newly occupied positions. Damn Chinese army, how did they bury the explosives?" Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida shouted anxiously to the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Shimizu Madoka.

Lieutenant Colonel Shimizu Madoka, the chief of staff, was also stunned when the explosion occurred. He did not understand why the Chinese army could still defeat the 161st Regiment after such a long bombardment by the field artillery battalion. This was incredible. After hearing the shouts of Colonel Ishida Yoshiaki, the commander of the regiment, he also shouted to the troops around him: "Hurry up, follow me."

The officers and soldiers of the 161st Regiment also rushed towards the Chinese army's position in front with all their might. They felt extremely terrified in their hearts, but at the same time they were very grateful that their troops did not participate in this attack, otherwise they would have been killed.
