Chapter 67: The End of the Division 7

"Boom!" Another 37mm shell hit the front armor of the T34 including Xu Ren's crew.

With a "bang", the shell bounced off again!

At the same time, two shells exploded in the left front of Tank No. 1065, and the splashing mud and water obscured the gunner's vision.

"High-explosive grenade! Loading complete!" Shi Hua's voice came into his ears.

Zhang Jia immediately ordered the artillery to fire! Observer Zhao Cheng had already used a machine gun to mark the firing position for the artillery sound.

With a "boom", a ball of flame burst out from the muzzle of the T34 tank's 76mm tank gun, and then a hot shell flew towards the target at high speed, spinning.

"Boom!" The shell did not hit the bush directly, but exploded a ball of sparks five or six meters in front of it.

"Boom!" Before they could even celebrate not being hit by the Chinese tank, another shell came from the 1048 tank crew.

After a loud "boom boom boom" explosion, several explosions occurred in succession, and the entire bush was blown away.

Among them were the broken limbs and arms of the Japanese soldiers and a wheel of a Type 37 anti-tank gun flying in the air.

"Baga! Keep firing!"

Several shells hit the Chinese tanks in succession, but without exception they failed to penetrate them.

However, the enemy's artillery shells destroyed one of their anti-tank positions. Changshan was now standing behind the gun position, operating a 37mm anti-tank gun.

He was originally an artilleryman, so he has no problem operating a 37mm anti-tank gun.

He looked through the shooting aperture and fixed the tank No. 1048 Dushima firmly in the sight.

"Boom" the gun rope was pulled suddenly, and a 37mm armor-piercing bullet flew out of the muzzle again and flew towards the Chinese tank that had just destroyed one of its own anti-tank guns.

"It must be penetrated! Aunt Amaterasu, please bless your people, we must penetrate it!" Changshan kept praying in his heart at this moment.

However, Amaterasu obviously did not dare to appear on Chinese soil, so his prayers were useless.

With a "bang", the shell was undoubtedly bounced off by the inclined armor in front of the T34 again.

At this moment, the crew members in the T34 have gradually calmed down, and all the continuous hits were bounced off by the front armor.

As expected, the commander was not bragging to them. The Japanese's 37mm anti-tank gun was simply unable to penetrate the main armor of the tank.

Now these armored soldiers began to calmly call out the Japanese anti-tank gun positions one by one.

"Boom boom boom" one high-explosive grenade after another was fired from the muzzle, causing a bloody storm in the woods where the Japanese army was hiding.

A shell accurately hit the artillery crew where Changshan was, and they were still wondering why the Empire's anti-tank guns could not penetrate China's tanks.

After the explosion, Changshan, the commander of the 56th Regiment, could go and talk to their Amaterasu himself and ask why he wanted to take off his pants and sell his body every day to worship this guy, and why the guy just didn't show up.

As several 37mm anti-tank guns were targeted one by one, the opposing tanks did not even lose a single hair.

The Japanese morale, which had finally recovered a little, now fell to the bottom.

Most of the Japanese troops fled into the forest. Of course, some officers were covered with grenades. They bent down in the woods and approached the armored brigade.

The armored brigade saw that the main Japanese force had been defeated and their own infantry had caught up, so they called on the grenadiers who could not ride on trucks to board the tanks.

With the protection of the infantry, these T34s do not have to worry about the sudden appearance of Japanese suicide squads and their tanks being destroyed together with them.

Sure enough, on the path the tanks were advancing, from time to time there were low-ranking Japanese officers on board, bare-chested and shouting, with bombs tied all over their bodies, rushing out of the woods.

However, the infantrymen sitting on the tanks would not let them wait as they wished. The MP40 and PPSh submachine guns turned the Japanese soldiers into a hornet's nest as soon as they appeared. They then detonated the explosive packs and grenades on their bodies, turning them into blood mist.

Li Yi's Second Division was also struggling to trudge on the muddy road. Artillery pieces were temporarily abandoned on both sides of the road, leaving only a small number of soldiers to guard them.

The main force followed behind the armored brigade, carrying light artillery and a large number of multiple rocket launchers and other weapons.

This sudden heavy rain caught the 78th Army off guard, but it was even more fatal to the 114th Division.

The muddy road made the large army's retreat encounter too many difficulties. Shigeharu Suematsu watched as the soldiers turned into mud men, desperately pulling artillery and supply vehicles.

The Chinese artillery fire behind them was becoming more and more rapid. The 102nd Regiment probably couldn't hold out for much longer. The artillery regiment only left a few artillery pieces for support, as the others had already chosen to retreat with the main force of the division.

However, this torrential rain completely trapped the 114th Division, and now all the main generals of the division are facing painful choices.

Just now, the farewell message from Colonel Kotaro Inuiba, commander of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, was placed in front of everyone.

In just four hours, a regiment of nearly 3,000 men was almost completely defeated by the Chinese artillery fire.

No one expected that the Chinese could be so despicable that they built so many strong positions on the edge of this forest clearing.

They were just waiting for the Locust Army's warriors to pounce. These guys actually endured for a whole day yesterday and did not expose these strong firepower points too much.

Until today, after the war broke out, the 102nd Regiment launched a full-scale attack on China's positions in order to cover the main force of the division's retreat to the east.

Just as the 102nd Regiment launched an entire offensive, those hidden firepower points began a frantic performance of harvesting the lives of the locust troops.

With the help of large-caliber artillery, almost all the Locust Army warriors of the 102nd Regiment fell in front of that position. The crossfire from three directions made it extremely difficult for the Japanese army to retreat.

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander! I think it's time to abandon all unnecessary things and move forward with all troops lightly. While the Chinese don't have that many troops, we should rush out of this Guancen Mountain!"

Major General Mitsusaburo Akiyama, commander of the 127th Infantry Brigade, expressed his thoughts on the sidelines.

"Baka!" Before Akiyama finished his words, the curse of Major General Okubo, commander of the 128th Infantry Brigade, was heard.

"Akiyama-kun! Do you know what you are talking about? The 114th Division has lost all its heavy weapons and supplies. We will become a laughing stock in the Imperial military!"

"What's the difference between this and that loser division? I strongly disagree with you!"

After being beaten up by Obaofu, Akiyama's face turned red.

"You are a brainless idiot! What kind of situation are you facing now? Why do you still care about these equipment and reputation? There is an old saying in China - As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

"As long as the main force of the division is preserved, we can regain the equipment and reputation, but what glory and bravery can we talk about if we have lost our lives!"

"As senior commanders of the Locust Nation, we must learn to use our brains to think and fight! What happened to the Coward Division?"

"Just a while ago, the useless division you idiots were talking about took down the heavily guarded American fortresses at the Battle of Corregidor Island Fortress and the Battle of Bataan Fortress with only 600 casualties."

"The 4 soldiers of the 3000th Division captured 11 American soldiers in one fell swoop. The so-called elite 16th Division of the Empire suffered more than 3000 casualties but failed to do so. The th Division did it and conquered it at a very small cost. This is what you idiots call a loser division!"

"Alright, everyone, shut up! Gentlemen! The 114th Division is now facing a life-or-death situation! Now is not the time to blame each other, but we need to unite!"

When the division commander Shigeharu Suematsu saw his two subordinates starting a fierce quarrel and even physical attacks, he immediately stopped them.
