Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

The roar of the two field guns and mortars provided a good cover. Xu Hu, who was at the back, heard the sound of the gunfire and turned to shout to the tanks behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go to the front and meet up with the regiment commander."

The Japanese troops stationed here were indeed the 13th Regiment of the th Division.

They had just come from the mainland. Among the dozen or so Class A divisions of the Japanese Army, except for the 4th Division outside the pass, which was a joke, the remaining divisions were all strong in combat effectiveness, and the th Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division, was the best among them.

The 13th Regiment was organized in Kumamoto and is the main force of this division. It is better equipped than the other regiments.

The Sixth Division also wanted to gain popularity in one go, so it deployed a main regiment at the beginning, followed by another battalion as support.

Tanks, armored vehicles and artillery were all pulled up.

As it turned out, their arrangement was successful. They broke through the 87th Division's defense line, and were then stopped by the 51st Division here.

It’s not that they are trying to block the enemy, but they don’t want to move forward. After all, they are already some distance away from the main force behind them.

But this doesn't matter. They are stuck here like nails, causing trouble here.

In the dark night, the enemy's artillery fire flashed orange-red flames like fireworks blooming at night.

After the fire, a barrage of shells fell on the position.

However, no soldier went to hide because their shells fell at least fifty or sixty meters away from their positions.

In a place like this, it's impossible to kill anyone.

Some Japanese soldiers burst into laughter and cursed, probably meaning that the military strength of Nanjing was nothing special.

In other words, they are just common people and don't have to worry about anything.

The regiment commander Musashi was also nervous at first. The firepower was not bad. Could it be that the other party had called up the teaching corps?

However, the moment he saw the impact point, he was no longer nervous.

Not only was he not nervous, he even opened the sake comfortably, looked at the chief of staff beside him and said with a smile; "Let's do this too."

"What the commander said is correct. They are not a concern. However, do we need to destroy their artillery?"

Such a force is always a threat here.

Musashi picked up the wine glass, thought for a while and shook his head; "No need, there are not many artillerymen who would waste shells like this, why should we destroy the troops who are helping us, just let them fight."

Just beat him. Gozo didn't take it seriously.

The following events were no longer taken seriously. The observation posts were no longer as alert as they had been not long ago. Instead, they began to smoke or doze off.

Zhou Weiguo had no intention of digging trenches.

He is here to attack, not to defend.

The morning star has appeared. Zhou Weiguo raised his wrist to check the time. It will be dawn in about half an hour.

Zhou Weiguo found the artillery company commander Chen Qi.

The previous artillery company commander was killed in the last battle, and he was promoted temporarily.

"The artillery is aimed at their positions, can they cover them?" Zhou Weiguo asked.

Chen Qi nodded; "Captain, I deployed them in a dispersed manner to provide complete coverage, and I also used flat-fire artillery to directly attack their frontal fortifications."

Zhou Weiguo nodded and his eyes fell on Gao Yun.

Gao Yun spoke without Zhou Weiguo asking, "Captain, I have three twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns in place on the truck, ready for a second cleanup."

Zhou Weiguo nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xu Hu. "I have already taught you the tank combat technique. Put the tanks bought from the British in front. They are thick-skinned and can stop us. Use the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles on the left and right sides. Spread out and charge when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Commander. I'll take care of it." Xu Hu said seriously.

Zhou Weiguo's eyes fell on Liu Jun; "I think you should know how to fight."

"I know." Liu Jun also responded excitedly. They agreed, but the other two battalion commanders didn't seem to have any tasks.

They wanted to ask, but they didn't know how to ask. Zhou Weiguo saw through their thoughts and said, "You just arrived. Our fighting style is different from others, so you have to watch and chase them when the time comes."

Zhou Weiguo used artillery to replace bombers. He first destroyed some of the enemy's targets, then the tanks charged, and finally the infantry charged. The key was speed.

This method is the best way for the German army to attack, and it is also the one that can achieve the greatest results. Now this method has not been really used. Tanks are actually a kind of auxiliary arms, and they are not used as a main arm.

Even the Japanese army's tanks and armored vehicles were auxiliary rather than the main force of attack.

The two battalion commanders had indeed never heard of such a method. They nodded silently and stood beside Zhou Weiguo.

Time passes by little by little.

Fang Shengli stood by and kept looking at the time.

Seeing the pointer reaching the dot, he came to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Weiguo, the time is up, do you think we should attack?"

Zhou Weiguo looked into the distance through the telescope, then turned his head to look at the artillerymen next to him; "Start."

Boom...boom boom boom...

This time, all the assets of the independent regiment were mobilized.

Eight field guns and flat-fire guns loaded shells directly forward and then fired according to the established parameters.

The huge roar scared Commander Wang next door.

He used a telescope to observe the direction of the independent regiment and clicked his tongue twice; "Why would Zhou Weiguo mobilize so many artillery pieces?"

This guy, is he crazy?

By doing this, aren't you afraid of attracting retaliation from the enemy's bombers?

Doesn't he know that if we concentrate a little more firepower here, the other side will retaliate immediately?

Was this kid being praised too highly by them? Or was it because of the smooth battles during this period that he had become inflated?

Isn't he afraid of damaging those artillery pieces?

"I'm afraid not. They were already building fortifications yesterday, and given their reaction speed, the staff will send out the coordinates very quickly, and then they'll be in trouble."

The Chief of Staff sighed beside him.

Commander Wang turned his head to look at his chief of staff, his eyes narrowed and he fell into deep thought.

Since the military commander has decided to let the independent regiment take the lead, no matter how he fights, I hope he can fight well. After all, I now share the same honor and disgrace with the 74th Army.

If the independent regiment fails to fight well, it will not only lose face for Zhou Weiguo, but also for the military commander and himself.

No matter what, this time, the 51st Division will help out.

Commander Wang exhaled and gave an order; "Launch an attack on the Japanese troops next to us. The only thing I can do to help him is to pin down the Japanese troops here and prevent them from coming to support. I'm afraid I can't do anything else."
