During the Anti-Japanese War, the landlord's stupid son defied fate

Chapter 237: The Division Commander's Shock and Helplessness

It can be clearly seen that the firepower deployed by the Japanese today is much stronger than yesterday.

Faced with such a fierce offensive, the Shanxi provincial army responsible for defense was under increased pressure.

Especially those anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank equipment. Even if the defenders had them, they still had a hard time fighting under the Japanese's heavy bombardment.

After all, yesterday's battle did not end well for the Japanese.

Everyone knows it.

If we fail to achieve any results today and give a satisfactory explanation to the regiment commander and the division commander, then the entire regiment will probably have to withdraw in disgrace and hand over the battlefield to the next regiment.

"Fuck, these damned Japs started bombing so crazily so early in the morning. There's absolutely no justice at all!"

A regimental commander stood in the command center, watching the fierce battle outside through a telescope, and started cursing angrily.

His eyes were bloodshot with anger, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly together. He wished he could rush out and fight the enemy to the death.

The regimental staff officer nearby heard the commander's angry outbursts and quickly consoled him, "Yes, that's right, Commander. But don't be too angry. We've made full preparations ahead of time. No matter how much trouble these devils cause, we're confident we can hold our ground."

As he spoke, he walked to the map and pointed to several key locations to explain the defense deployment to the team leader.

The Japanese bombing was as fierce as a storm. The deafening explosions came one after another, as if to tear the entire earth apart.

However, faced with such a brutal enemy, the defenders of Shanxi Province did not retreat. They quickly organized anti-aircraft firepower and launched a tenacious counterattack.

As early as yesterday, an air defense battalion gave the Japanese a hard time and showed them the powerful air defense capabilities of the Yan State army.

Therefore, as soon as the Japanese launched the attack today, they couldn't wait to lock their primary target on this air defense battalion.

They knew very well that if they did not get rid of this "thorn in the eye" first, it would be a pipe dream to safely bomb the Yan State defenders.

Because of this, the anti-aircraft firepower response of the Shanxi defenders was slightly slow. It was not because they were cowardly or incompetent, but because they were fighting fiercely against the Japanese air attack force with all their strength and had no time to pay attention to other things.

At the same time, the Japanese artillery regiment and tank regiment were also busy. They worked together and poured countless artillery shells on the defenders' positions.

For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.

Just as the Japanese were attacking frantically, the defenders of Shanxi Province were also unwilling to be outdone.

They gritted their teeth and persevered, resisting the enemy's fierce bombardment while adjusting the artillery positions, preparing to give the invading enemy a heavy counterattack.

Finally, with roars, the defenders' artillery shells whizzed out, streaking across the sky like meteors, and slamming heavily into the Japanese positions.

Those Japanese soldiers who were still marching forward bravely and recklessly, were charging forward with firm and crazy steps when they were suddenly hit by a wave of fierce artillery fire that poured down like a rainstorm!

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and deafening explosions rang out one after another.

Countless artillery shells whizzed towards the enemy, stirring up pieces of dirt and rubble, forming huge craters.

The originally aggressive Japanese soldiers were instantly blown to pieces, and some were blown to pieces on the spot, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Some were seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood, groaning in pain.

However, there were still some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive. After experiencing this sudden and terrifying attack, they were already scared out of their wits and had lost their previous arrogance and domineering attitude.

They were terrified and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

These Japanese soldiers knew very well that if they didn't escape now, death would be the only thing waiting for them.

As long as they can escape back to their own fortifications, there may be a chance of survival.

Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese were born cowardly and afraid of death.

After all, faced with such a fierce fire attack, any normal person would have an instinctive fear and desire to survive.

It's just a natural reaction after suffering a heavy blow.

As soon as the Japanese launched their attack, the sharp-witted Chief of Staff Wang saw the severity of the situation and immediately issued an order: "Notify the Air Force to come to support immediately!"

Since this place is not too far from the air force airport, it only takes about twenty minutes of flight to reach the battlefield.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that at this moment the advantage on the battlefield is clearly in the hands of the Shanxi provincial defenders.

This sudden situation left the commander of the Fifth Division, who was commanding at the front line, dumbfounded and shocked!

He stared at the situation on the battlefield with wide eyes, thinking to himself.

"what on earth is it?

Normally, even if the enemy had weapons, they wouldn't be so brave and skilled in fighting!"

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized that it must be that guy named Zhao Gang who was doing something behind the scenes!

Otherwise, the opponent would never have been able to burst out such amazing combat power in such a short period of time.

Thinking of this, the division commander couldn't help but shook his head, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then shouted, "Everyone, ignore other factors and continue the attack!

Yes, they have some weapons and ammunition now, but don't forget, we have them too!

At this moment, only by moving forward courageously can we achieve ultimate victory!"

The division commander knew very well that in this cruel and bloody war, whoever could show greater endurance and the ability to withstand blows would have the last laugh.

As long as we grit our teeth and hold on, the enemy will sooner or later waver or even retreat due to excessive pressure.

Moreover, he still had an ace card in his hand that he hadn't played yet!

A large number of heavy equipment carried by follow-up troops are also coming to support in an endless stream.

So, what does this little loss mean in the short term?

It is completely within an acceptable range.

After all, if you don’t dare to fight the first battle with all your strength, how are you going to deal with the subsequent battles?

Moreover, once Dragon City is successfully conquered, the rest of the journey will surely be much easier...

If you want to completely defeat the enemy, you must crush their tenacious fighting will and all their efforts in other aspects!

Sure enough, not long after, the Japanese soldiers on the front line once again received the latest order from the division commander - to continue the crazy attack!

Although the previous rounds of attacks failed to achieve significant results, the Japanese were still full of confidence at this moment.

Because they knew very well that they not only had a powerful air force to provide constant support in the air, but also had heavy artillery and armored forces as a solid backing. With such strong strength in front of them, there was really no reason to retreat!

So, after a short rest, the Japanese soldiers regained their spirits and launched a more fierce and fierce attack on the target again.

Even though the artillery of the Yan State defenders was still pouring down like a torrential rain, the division commander gave this death order without hesitation.

No matter what, I have to achieve some decent results. Otherwise, how can I, as the division commander, report to the commander in the future?
