Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Report! Report! Commander! We have discovered six divisions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in pursuit of our troops, and... an army of the Central Army!"

"It's...less than five kilometers away from us!"

A Japanese major came running over and reported in a panic.

"Baga! The Shanxi Suiyuan Army arrived so quickly! How did you conduct reconnaissance?!"

"The Locust Alliance is really a bunch of garbage!!"

"Order the troops to prepare for a counterattack!"

"Where's General Shinozuka's order?! Has it come down?!"

Ozawa Toru cursed angrily, and after deploying a counterattack, he asked hurriedly.

"Report to the brigade commander! There's a call from the headquarters!"

At this time, Osawa Toru had already met with the commander of the 36th Brigade, Nakamura Nanhi, and the commander of the tank regiment, Matsushita Noki.

Three old Japanese soldiers were hiding in a forest, looking at the corpse of Xiangong Yihe on the gate of Yi County, and they were itching with hatred.

At this time, a staff officer ran over to report.

"Oh? Looks like General Shinozuka's order has arrived!"

"What?..."

"General Shinozuka's meaning is so vague..."

"Does this involve the care of His Excellency the Prince's body?"

Osawa Toru looked at the telegram, bewildered.

He was still hoping that Yoshio Shinozuka could come up with an idea, after all, this battle had been lost so badly.

Now the remaining 20,000-odd locust soldiers have been surrounded by the Chinese army. It is very likely that they will suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out!

They are actually hindered by the corpse of a prince. A dead person is more important than more than 20,000 living people!

The top brass of the empire are all a bunch of idiots!

Ozawa Toru was extremely angry.

"You two! We can't rely on the people above anymore! We have to make a decision today!"

"We three, and the 20,000 locust soldiers behind us, can't die here!"

"We should just pretend we didn't see the Prince's body!"

"What do you think?!"

Osawa Toru looked at Nakamura Nanhi and Matsushita Noki with a sinister look.

Although Ozawa Toru is the temporary commander of the three troops and he is the only one who can make the decisions, for such major matters, the other two people must be involved. If he goes to a military court in the future, he will have someone to accompany him.

Nakamura Nanhi and Matsushita Noki looked at each other in confusion. They both knew what Osawa Toru meant.

But now the situation is stronger than people. If they don’t make a quick decision, if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army complete the encirclement of them, they will be doomed.

"Yoshi! Osawa-kun! I, Matsushita Noki, am only a colonel, and you are a major general! I listen to you! I will do whatever you say!"

Matsushita Noqiu was a bachelor. His military rank and position were lower than those of the two people present. He just followed orders. He neither said yes nor no, so as not to offend either side.

If the royal family blames him in the future, he will also have something to say.

"for this I……"

"Alright! We're all going to die anyway! If we don't make a decision early today, we'll definitely not be able to escape!"

"It's better to just go for it! No one can predict what will happen in the future!"

"Let's do it! Ozawa-kun!"

The commander of the 36th Brigade, Nanichi Nakamura, hesitated for a while, but ultimately succumbed to reality.

"Yoshi! Order the artillery! Set up the heavy artillery!"

"Your Excellency the Prince would rather be buried in peace sooner rather than be humiliated by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Order the artillery! Aim and bombard the walls of Yi County!"

"Under the cover of the tank regiment, the infantry of our 9th Brigade will attack the gap in the Yi County city wall!"

"Mr. Nakamura! Your 36th Brigade is responsible for blocking the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army!"

"No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, they are just ants in front of our heavy artillery and tanks!"

"Humph! As long as we take Yi County again, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Central Army will have no way to deal with us!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

Ozawa Toru had also made up his mind. They would finish the job today and kill anyone who had never seen the prince's body.

If we can completely wipe out that damned Eighth Route Army, that would be a great achievement!

"It's a black card! Half a year!!"

The three old devils shouted together.

……

"Report to the commander!"

"The main force of the Japanese has arrived. They are hiding in the forest less than six miles outside the city!"

"In addition, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has already started fighting with the troops behind the devils!"

"There is also the Central Army's temporary 86th Army, but they are just holding the line and have no intention of taking action yet!"

"Look, should we let the artillery battalion fire a shot at him first?"

Zhou Weiguo happily ran up to Lin Tian and said.

"Great! After waiting for so long! We finally found out!"

"Send the coordinates to the artillery battalion! Order the artillery battalion to open fire at full power! Bomb him!"

"First, provide firepower for two and a half hours! When you're done, the tank company will cover the infantry charge!"

Lin Tian ordered.

He is determined to win this battle. Since the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has already started fighting with the Japanese, the First Division must seize the opportunity.

The heads of the Japanese devils can bring more advantages to Lin Tian.

Especially the tank regiment, they are so good...

"Yes! Commander!"

Zhou Weiguo replied with a grin.

He couldn't hold back any longer. When he thought about the Japanese soldiers crying for their parents and howling like ghosts in the gunfire, he couldn't stop getting excited!

"Haha, comrades! The commander sent us the coordinates of the devils!"

"Adjust the shooting angle and prepare for bombardment!"

"The commander said that the firepower will cover the area for two and a half hours! Let's fire as much as we can!"

"All of you, roll up your sleeves and get to work! We have no shortage of ammunition!"

Wang Chengzhu sat on several ammunition boxes, looking at the Japanese coordinates in his hand, feeling extremely excited.

As long as he can fire, he's happy.

The same goes for the soldiers in the artillery battalion, all they need to do is be able to fire artillery!

"Haha, we can fire again!"

"It's great to follow the commander!"

"Commander! We are ready! Please give the order!"

The soldiers talked at once and were full of enthusiasm, and adjusted the muzzle of the gun immediately!

"Ready...fire!!"

Wang Chengzhu waved the red flag in his hand and shouted.

In an instant, all the artillery pieces in the artillery battalion opened fire at full power, and shells and rockets whizzed towards the Japanese positions as if they were free.

The huge impact of 120 107mm rocket launchers and 20 Katyusha rocket launchers alone stirred up clouds of dust.

In less than a minute, thousands of rockets had been fired.

The 30 Type 10 infantry guns and 88 mm anti-aircraft guns can only be regarded as supplementary firepower for the artillery battalion.

So Lin Tian arranged him to the position.

And this output is still continuing...

Death is whispering over the devil's head...

“Huh? What’s that sound?!”

It was the first time that Ozawa Toru and others heard such a dense sound of breaking through the air, flying towards them whimpering, and the Japanese immediately felt something was wrong!

"Boom!"

"Boom!!!"

Thousands of rockets exploded at the same time, making earth-shaking noises, and the area outside Yi County suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Lin Tian was behind the bunker on the city wall, observing the Japanese positions with a telescope.

I saw several tanks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces, and human body fragments flying in the explosion...
