Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

The Japanese soldiers who were originally lying and sleeping in the trenches suddenly felt their scalps tingling, and then they remembered that it must be a night attack by the Chinese army.

They all stood up and took out their guns, ready to fight back.

But Wei Guo and others had already rushed to the face. The suicide squad members threw grenades first, and before the flames of the explosion had dissipated, they had already raised their swords and chopped at the Japanese's head.

The Japanese were thrown into panic by this sudden attack.

"Kill!!!"

The death squad members roared with killing sounds like thunder, and in just a few encounters, they had killed more than 200 Japanese devils.

The Japs had never seen such a desperate fighting style. Some Chinese soldiers even knew they were no match for the locust army, so they resolutely detonated the grenades on their bodies, rushed into the crowd, and died together with them.

Although the Japs were also very powerful, they were quickly defeated under this desperate offensive and quickly retreated behind the heavy machine gun positions, attempting to consume the Sichuan Army's physical strength and then let the machine guns take their lives.

"Quick! Machine gun fire! Quick fire!!"

A Japanese major had already led his men to retreat. Looking at the Sichuan Army's suicide squad so close, his eyes were full of horror and he shouted orders.

Before, we didn’t dare to fire at will with heavy machine guns because we were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to see clearly at night and might accidentally injure our own people.

Now I no longer have this worry.

But this major obviously thought it was too simple.

As soon as he gave the order, the heavy machine gun was loaded with fire. However, before it could open fire, dozens of grenades were suddenly thrown out from behind him, followed by dozens of suicide squad members rushing over with swords in hand.

Soon all the Japanese soldiers on the position were wiped out. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the others did not dare to fight back and retreated in fear.

These death squads were the ones that Wei State had ordered to make detours in the beginning.

"Hahaha, these little Japanese are no good. They are very fierce during the day, but how come they are so vulnerable at night!" Wang Fangyun wiped the big knife in his hand with the corpses of several Japanese soldiers and laughed.

"Humph! If the Japs didn't rely on tanks and artillery, they wouldn't be able to reach our position during the day!"

"Fuck that Immortal, each team reports the number of casualties!"

"Retreat quickly, the enemy's artillery fire will probably arrive soon. We will enter the position once their artillery fire stops!"

Wei ordered.

After some statistics, it was found that nearly half of the suicide squad were killed or wounded. Although the Wei State was heartbroken, there was nothing they could do as there would always be casualties in war.

"Take these machine guns and don't let the Japs blow us to pieces!"

"We don't have much heavy firepower, and this just came in handy!"

Wei Guo waved his hand, and the soldiers carried more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and headed towards their own position.

Just a dozen seconds after Wei Guo and others withdrew from their positions, a sea of ​​fire suddenly appeared behind them. It was obvious that the Japanese were angry and humiliated.

However, the situation is unclear now, and I don't think the Japanese will send any more people up, so everyone can take a break.

The 12th Division sent by the commander-in-chief to reinforce them has also arrived.

……

Just when Wei Guo led the suicide squad to attack the Japanese position at night.

On Fang Zheng's side, since it was already afternoon when they set out, they deliberately bypassed the defense lines of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, so they took a lot of detours.

However, Fang Zheng was leading mechanized troops. Not to mention the 1st Battalion of the Armored Regiment, his own infantry regiment was also pulled by trucks, so their speed was impeccable.

"Captain Fang, it sounds like a fight is going on ahead. Should we go over and take a look?" Zhao Qulu said when he heard the noise ahead.

"No rush. Our mission is to attack the Japanese formation. Don't waste time on this kind of small-scale battle. The troops continue to advance. If we want to fight, we must fight where the Japanese troops are heavily concentrated!" Lin Fangzheng shook his head.

Although the troops led by Fang Zheng now can completely rush to the Sichuan Army’s position and help them eliminate the Japanese.

But the problem is that this will expose their tracks. Once the Japanese are on guard, it will be difficult for them to launch a surprise attack.

Lin Tian asked them to act as a surprise force and pick a tough opponent if they were to fight.

Zhao Qulu nodded and commanded the troops to continue advancing.

……

As for Lin Tian, ​​since the combat order was issued, the troops have moved out of Taiyuan City one after another.

Lin Tian didn't want to deal with the Central Army. He knew all the Central Army's little tricks. If he was their teammate, he would be at risk of being sold out at any time. It would be better for him to work alone.

So they left an infantry battalion and a machine gun battalion to garrison Taiyuan.

All other troops moved out from the right side of Taiyuan, bypassing the Central Army's defense line, and attacking Fang Zheng from the left and right.

The artillery regiment built an artillery position in a valley. The terrain here was concealed and the view on the top of the mountain was wide, which was conducive to observing the movements of the Japanese and directing artillery attacks.

Lin Tian left behind a machine gun battalion to protect the artillery regiment, and continued to advance with his troops.

At night, the motor roared, and a long sword was stabbing into the heart of the Japanese.

Liu Zhenhua's air force did not take off because it was not conducive to observation at night. Only a few fighter formations patrolled over Taiyuan.

……

Central Army Command.

"The Sichuan Army called and requested reinforcements!" the staff officer reported.

Commander Song picked it up and took a look, a hint of joking flashed across his lips: "This Sichuan Army has very poor discipline! If we encircle them now, the Japs will surely be able to break through! Tell them that the Japs are not attacking tonight, and our troops have already begun to encircle them on both wings, so don't worry!"

"Haha, I didn't expect these Sichuan troops to be so resilient! The Japs' offensive today was very fierce, and they looked like they could break through our three lines of defense in one go!"

"Even the Japanese bombers bombed several of our positions!"

Chief of Staff Wu Mingshan pushed up his glasses and smiled, his tone sounding as if he was watching a fun event.

"Humph! What can they bear?! If the Sichuan Army could bear it, they wouldn't have asked me for reinforcements!"

"You really don't care about the overall situation and don't have a clear view of yourself!"

Commander Song snorted coldly, his face icy.

In his view, the Sichuan Army was nothing but cannon fodder. When the Japanese army had exhausted all their efforts to capture the Sichuan Army's positions, it would be time for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to attack.

When the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Japanese were entangled in a fierce battle, it was time for General Song's troops to encircle them.

By that time, the Japanese's morale had been almost exhausted and their combat effectiveness must have declined.

He doesn't have to worry about his pocket being pierced by the Japanese.

If he could consume the Sichuan Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese in this battle, his military exploits would surely be outstanding, and he would be even more favored by his superiors.

By then, the superiors will send more troops to occupy Shanxi Province, and I will use the power of victory to force the Eighth Route Army to give up Taiyuan. This will be another great achievement, and my career will be rapidly promoted.

No one in the Central Army has achieved greater achievements than me!

Commander Song stood outside the door, looking at the gradually whitening skyline in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The sun is rising there.

The real battle will only begin today...
