Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Captain, the Fukuhara Squadron is requesting assistance."

The communications soldier felt a little nervous. How long had it taken to ask for help?

Mizoguchi Gengo was in the same mood as the communications soldier at this time. More than 300 imperial warriors were sent out, and it had only been a dozen minutes since the ambush.

Asking for help?

When did the Imperial Warriors become so weak?

Helplessly, he could only order: "Let the newly arrived Tianbei Squadron go!"

"Then continue to telegraph Lord Tachikawa and ask him to provide quick support."

At this moment, another signalman ran in and said anxiously, "The city garrison has sent out two more battalions. Captain Kawashima wants you to provide support as soon as possible."

Mizoguchi Gengo felt that he had made a serious mistake and should not have asked the regiment for instructions, otherwise the regiment commander would not have allowed him to take command.

Now it's a mess.

He would rather die in battle than become a sinner of the empire in the end.

Obviously, he is not very confident about this war now, and the only thing he can do is to delay time as much as possible.

After hesitating for a while, Mizoguchi Gengo said with difficulty: "Order Kawashima and Yoshida to shrink the defense line. We must hold on until reinforcements arrive!"

He did not send Tianbei Squadron to Kawashima. In his opinion, the support troops outside the city were much more difficult to deal with than the defending troops.

Mizoguchi Gengo closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then he took a long breath and murmured:

"If the enemies of the empire were all facing this kind of situation today, would we still be able to conquer this land?"

Tachikawa Tsuneki was also surprised when he received the news. The Chinese in front had strong firepower. He originally wanted to kill these Chinese first and then join forces to counterattack the army outside the city.

But the current situation is unexpected. The enemy here has not been destroyed, but there are frequent requests for help from the battlefield outside the city.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Uchimura-kun, you lead your squadron to stay behind and defend, and try to delay the time. The others will follow me to provide support."

After receiving the order, several squadron leaders immediately withdrew their troops from the front and then led their troops to set off.

Now, the firepower weakened, and Xiaowu and the others felt relieved. The firepower of this group of Japanese devils was still very strong.

Heavy machine guns, Type 99 light rifles, grenade launchers, and mountain cannons were all used in the battle, making it very difficult for the special forces, but now things are better.

"Uncle Wu, the Japanese must have evacuated many people, and their firepower has weakened."

Xiaowu said to Wu Mazi with a smile.

Wu Mazi forced a smile and said, "Brothers, we've suffered a lot of losses. I don't know if we've completed the task we've been holding back."

"Hey! Uncle Wu, you don't understand. The Japanese have been delaying for more than ten minutes, and it will take time for them to go to support."

"I think it's all over with Brother Gu."

Xiaowu is very optimistic. He first joined with Huang Zhengkui and is very familiar with Gu Changfeng.

Wu Mazi shook his head: "I hope so. I can hardly believe that this battle has lasted this long!"

Xiao Wu chuckled, "There will be more in the future. Our team has grown from around a hundred people to over a thousand now, and our weapons are getting stronger and stronger."

"Uncle Wu, you have to trust Brother Gu!"

Wu Mazi smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Gu, I definitely believe it. He saved my life, but now the situation is that the number of Japanese soldiers is increasing. I am a little worried."

"There's nothing to worry about. Brother Gu has his own arrangements."

Xiao Wudao, he has always been full of confidence in Gu Changfeng, even in the desperate situation before, he never gave up this idea.

Gu Changfeng's side once again entered a fast-paced horizontal push. The three big guns tried their best to take care of the Japanese soldiers and heavy firepower that showed up, while the others were responsible for wiping out the enemies in front of them.

More than 300 Japanese soldiers have been pushed back to the last line of defense, with only seventy or eighty of them left. The situation is particularly unfavorable for Fukuhara.

"Damn it! Why hasn't the support arrived yet?" Captain Fukuhara was furious and slapped the communications soldier several times.

The signalman did not dare to resist. After Fukuhara finished fighting, he said, "Sir, Captain, Captain Tian Bei is on his way and should be here soon."

"Boom boom boom!"

Several shells flew over Fukuhara's head and landed next to a company of soldiers on the position.

Fukuhara was overjoyed to see this and offered support...

Gu Changfeng frowned as he looked ahead. He immediately killed these devils. Why were they causing such trouble now?

But when the reinforcements arrived, what could he say? He could only order: "Push the artillery company forward and continue shelling the devils."

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately went to convey the message.

The reinforcements that Fukuhara regarded as life-saving only caused some trouble to Gu Changfeng.

He was even happier when he saw the Japanese soldiers giving away their heads in wave after wave. He just didn't believe that he could never kill all of these Japanese soldiers.

Gu Changfeng, who had thought it through, worked even harder, and his gun continued to take the lives of the Japanese.

"Da Zhuang, Chang Feng is showing his power, you should also hurry up, what can you achieve by dithering?"

The chatterbox Liu Si started to criticize Liu Dazhuang again.

"It's so dark, we have to find the Japanese, otherwise how can we fight them? How about you come?" Liu Dazhuang said angrily.

Liu Si stared at the telescope and said, "Two o'clock direction, Japanese machine gunner, hurry up, if you can't hit it, I won't help you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dazhuang immediately adjusted his position, took aim, and with a "bang", the bullet fired.

The Japanese machine gunner, holding a Type 99 rifle, wanted to shoot, but before he could fire a single shot, he was knocked to the ground by a bullet from Liu Dazhuang.

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers immediately bent down cautiously, fearing that they would become the next target.

The machine gunner's assistant tried to pick up the Type 99 light rifle secretly, but with another shot, he sent the Japanese soldier away.

Now the Japanese know that someone is watching this place, and no one dares to touch it.

"You still want to play tricks in front of me. I know the nature of you Japanese devils." Liu Dazhuang muttered.

"Don't be so cocky, these are the devils coming to support us, we have to be careful too."

As Liu Si spoke, his eyes still did not leave the telescope. As an observer, he had an important responsibility!

"Humph! These devils are not even worthy of carrying my shoes. I can't kill them."

Liu Dazhuang's words were as tough as ever, but his expression became serious.

The weakening of gunfire from the third and fourth companies behind was enough to prove that the Japanese had reacted and started to support this battlefield.

Tian Beimu, the old Japanese soldier, still remembered Captain Tachikawa's order. Even when he came to this battlefield, he did not rush to counterattack.

Instead, they quickly built a defense line and had no intention of counterattacking.

"Mr. Fukuhara, as long as we can hold on for another two hours, victory will belong to us." Tian Beimu said lightly.

Fukuhara didn't know about this yet, and was shocked when he heard this. He asked, "Tanbei-kun, is the brigade's support on the way?"

Tian Beimu nodded and said, "That's right, the captain has already requested assistance, but the road conditions are not very good after all, so we need enough time to wait."

Fukuhara originally wanted to brag, but then he remembered that his squadron and Takehara's squadron had only lasted for more than ten minutes, and his expression suddenly fell.

He said to Tian Beimu: "Mr. Tian Bei, these Chinese are more difficult to deal with than the defenders. They have long-range snipers and two light long-range artillery pieces."

"They're specifically targeting our firing points. The Empire's machine guns and grenade launchers are simply unable to suppress the charging Chinese army."

Obviously, he suffered a lot in these short ten minutes.

There are many factors that contributed to the Japanese victory in the early stages of the battlefield, and artillery suppression is definitely one of them!

Now that they have lost their support, they can only rely on their individual qualities to survive, but this kind of quality cannot be used to make a living.

You have to know that the other side also has artillery, and it is no worse than theirs.

Tian Beimu said with a serious expression, "Fukuhara-kun, please tell me in detail what happened. I also want to know how these Chinese defeated our Third Battalion."

No matter how detailed Jiang Daohuo's report is, it cannot compare to the personal explanation by the people on the scene.

This is a deadly thing, and Tian Beimu dare not be careless at all.
