Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

(The word count I owed yesterday has been made up, so you can just go back and review it.)

Death came so suddenly, it could be called a "joy from the sky"!

In the trenches, the other Japanese soldiers were looking forward to watching the performance of this imperial warrior, but the ending was too "touching".

"idiot!!!"

“Bagya Road!!!”

"I don't want to die! Mommy!!!"

"..."

A desperate wail came from the mouths of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. The explosive pack burst into brilliant flames, engulfing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

"Crack! Crack!!"

"Da da da da~!"

This scene is not an isolated case, but similar scenes can be seen everywhere on the battlefield.

Infantry-tank coordination tactics are a compulsory training subject for the 1st Independent Division.

Whether it is the main force or the local garrison force, they all need training. They may not be as proficient as the main force, but the local garrison force is the source of the main force.

Compared with the main force, the local garrison forces only lack practical combat experience.

When the tanks rushed to the position under the cover of infantry and artillery, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

However, the troops of the Independent 1st Division, equipped with a large amount of automatic firepower, such as submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and pistols, fought like fish in water on battlefields like trenches.

Many Japanese soldiers rushed up with bayonets in hand and strange noises in their mouths.

"Snapped!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"..."

The Japanese soldiers who wanted to fight with bayonets were shot to death.

"Damn it, what era is this? Are we still fighting with bayonets?"

"Some people don't use hot weapons, but cold weapons?"

"If it's a one-on-one duel, grandpa will play with you. After all, when it comes to cold weapons, I'm a Chinese and you little devil's ancestor. But now, grandpa doesn't have time to play with you!"

"Pooh!!!"

"..."

For a moment, the Japanese and puppet troops on the first line of defense were completely defeated by this crushing attack!

Some of them died, some fled, and some surrendered. Wherever the tanks and the army passed, no one could stop the advance of the army.

Moreover, not all attacking troops follow the tank armored forces!

One-third followed the action and were responsible for the attack, and two-thirds followed behind, responsible for clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops and gathering the surrendered Japanese and puppet troops.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this scene, Ge Dayong smiled brightly: "This is the correct way to unleash the mechanized army and the steel torrent."

"We are going to build up mechanized troops on a large scale. This thing is invincible on the Asian battlefield where anti-tank firepower is lacking!"

The brighter Ge Dayong's smile was, the uglier the expression on the face of the commander of the 27th Division was.

"idiot!!!"

"Our troops have no ability to resist the Chinese attack!"

"Baga, what's wrong with our military industry? Our planes are inferior to ours, our artillery is inferior to ours, our guns are inferior to ours, and our tanks are inferior to ours."

"Even with this, they still dare to claim that they are the most powerful arsenal in Asia? Damn it!!!"

"I'm going to go back and personally report to His Majesty the Emperor, asking him to overhaul the military industry. These useless people are forcing our warriors to fight the Chinese with outdated weapons and equipment. They're committing a crime."

"They should all be forced to commit suicide by disembowelment to thank His Majesty the Emperor!"

Frontline Command!

"Deputy Division Commander Ge, Chief of Staff Wang's telegram!"

At this moment, a combat staff officer hurried over with a telegram and handed it to Ge Dayong.

"Ok?"

Ge Dayong was slightly stunned, then he took it and looked at it, then laughed: "Hahaha, good news, Chief of Staff Wang has already led his troops to attack in the direction of Jinshi."

"If nothing unexpected happens, once we capture Jinshi, the Japanese will have their retreat cut off!"

When Ge Dayong's words were heard, cheers suddenly broke out.

"Telegram to the Fifth Brigade and the Engineer Brigade!"

Ge Dayong was very happy. The news came at a very timely moment. After a little thought, Ge Dayong thought of the Fifth Brigade and the Engineer Brigade, as well as the three garrison regiments entrenched in the east, which were responsible for blocking and destroying the Japanese and puppet troops' southward advance. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

"Have the Engineer Brigade and three garrison regiments remain behind to block any possible Japanese and puppet army reinforcements. The Fifth Brigade will also attack Jinshi."

Ge Dayong is now a little impatient and wants to completely wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in front of him as quickly as possible. He doesn't want to give them any chance.

"Yes!"

The operations staff officer responded and turned around to quickly send a telegram.

At this time, the Fifth Brigade Commander Gao Dagu and the Engineer Brigade Commander Wang Shouheng were chatting.

"The frontal battlefield has already begun. I don't know if our Fifth Brigade has the opportunity to participate!" Gao Dagu was a little hesitant at this time.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t want to participate in such a large-scale battle.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Gao Dagu, who looked troubled, Engineer Brigade Commander Wang Shouheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lao Gao. The Eighth Route Army has already informed us of the situation of the Japanese reinforcements. They are still 60 to 70 kilometers away from our position."

"It looks so close, but they can't move an inch now."

"With this distance, even without the harassment and delays of the Eighth Route Army, it would take at least a day's forced march to reach the destination."

"By the time they arrive, the daylily will be cold!"

"The most important thing is that when they rush over, it's not about who they support, but how they want to die. It's time for them to choose how they die!"

"Why is it that the main force of the 1st Independent Division is concentrated here?"

At this point, Wang Shouheng smiled and said, "So don't worry, we have our engineering brigade and three garrison regiments here, which is more than enough!"

"It would be a waste to leave your Fifth Brigade here. Deputy Division Commander Ge will definitely not let you waste your time here."

After hearing what Wang Shouheng said, Gao Dagu, commander of the Fifth Brigade, relaxed his expression a little. Just when he was about to say something.

A combat staff officer suddenly stood up and hurried over, saying, "Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Ge!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Dagu swallowed back what he wanted to say. He reached out to take it with anticipation, and quickly glanced through it. The worry on his face disappeared, replaced by happiness, excitement and excitement.

"Hahaha, Lao Gao, congratulations!!!"

As soon as he saw Gao Dagu's expression, Engineer Brigade Commander Wang Shouheng guessed what was going on and gave his instructions with a sour and envious look.

"Hahahaha!"

Gao Dagu's smile widened upon hearing this. He looked at Wang Shouheng and said, "Old Wang, I'll leave this to you. Don't worry, I, Old Wang, will lead the Fifth Brigade to fight back for you regarding the Engineer Brigade's share!"

"Thank you, Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouheng felt even more jealous, but he also knew that the engineering brigade was not a main combat force, so it was already very good to be able to get a combat plan.

With the Fifth Brigade leaving, their Engineering Brigade will also have to take on the responsibility. There may not be any fighting, but who can say for sure?

quickly!

With Wang Shouheng's farewell, Gao Dagu led the 15,000 to 16,000 officers and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade, who had assembled quickly and were full of energy and high morale after a night's rest, and marched northward in a mighty force, heading straight towards the urban area of ​​Jinshi.

At the 27th Division Headquarters, the commander of the 27th Division had already contacted the Army Headquarters and the Navy Fleet.

He also received the decision from the military, which made the commander of the 27th Division, who had been hesitant and waiting, feel relieved, knowing that he would not have to take the blame.

"chief of staff!"

The 27th Division Commander looked at his Chief of Staff and said, "There are 1500 positions available. Aside from some people with connections or special status, you'll select the best of the best. All colonels and major generals will be selected, 80% of lieutenant colonels and majors will be selected, and 100 captains, lieutenants, and second lieutenants will be selected."

Speaking of this, the commander of the 27th Division, looking at the first line of defense that had been broken through, the iron torrent of Chu Feng's troops was clearing and destroying the remaining areas of the first line of defense and was about to launch a second attack. He pondered for a moment.

"We have built three defensive positions in total. Please draw some troops to temporarily set up the fourth, fifth, and sixth defensive positions."

"Don't place too many troops on every defensive position. Too many troops will only lead to them being wiped out by the Chinese's terrifying firepower."

"This is too uneconomical. We can use the troops we withdraw to implement refueling tactics. We must ensure that each line of defense can hold out for a longer period of time."

"Time is short and the mission is heavy, especially for the first task. I'll only give you half an hour. Once the third line of defense is breached, we'll retreat."

Hearing the words of his own division commander, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally heard the words he wanted to hear most.

"Hiyi!!!"

The Japanese Major General Chief of Staff nodded vigorously and said, "Division Commander, I will give the order right away."

In an instant, the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire defensive position moved quickly.

After the first position was captured, the troops were responsible for clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops. Although artillery shells and planes were still bombing, there was no pressure from ground troops, which allowed the Japanese and puppet troops to relax and seize this opportunity to quickly deploy.

At the same time, the temporary command post of the 27th Division also retreated quickly and arrived at the last one.

After the personnel were evacuated, the Japanese and puppet troops quickly began to build the fourth, fifth and sixth lines of defense.

There was no need to think about a complete defensive position. One could only build a simple defensive position using sandbags, stones, trenches or individual pits.

The actions of the Japanese and puppet troops were soon discovered by the 1st Air Brigade and reported to Ge Dayong.

"You've got your shit stuck in your ass, and now you need to find a toilet?"

Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops temporarily building three new defensive positions, Ge Dayong snorted disdainfully. The defensive positions that had been built for several days could not withstand the impact of the steel torrent. How could a temporary one be useful?

Just a chicken and a dog!

"Continue to attack according to the original plan!"

Ge Dayong ignored it and ordered his troops to continue attacking according to the plan. Since they were superior to the Japanese in terms of combat effectiveness, number of people, weapons and equipment, there was no need to take them by surprise. They could just use their hard power to defeat them.

Crush! Sweep!

In the face of absolute power, any small thoughts are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and can be easily defeated.

More than ten minutes later, the Japanese and puppet troops in the first line of defense surrendered or died, completely clearing the first line of defense.

The artillery cooperated with the aircraft to launch bombing and shelling on the Japanese and puppet troops in the second direction again, another slow-moving barrage of bullets.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the steel torrent set out again, crushing the Japanese and puppet troops on the second line of defense.

With the experience of the first time, this time they did not intend to stop after taking the second line of defense, but continued to rush forward.

The battle was not over until the impact of the steel torrent penetrated the enemy's five defensive positions.

"Division Commander!!!"

"Oh no! A telegram came in from the Jinshi district: traces of Chinese troops have been found in the north!"

"At the same time, the Chinese troops stationed to our south, responsible for blocking our southward advance, also moved. More than 10,000 troops were heading towards Tsu City."

At this moment, a combat staff officer received another call. His face suddenly became panicked and he hurriedly reported to the commander of the 27th Division.

"Nani?!!!"

As soon as he said this, he was telling the Chief of Staff: "Let's wait a little longer, wait a little longer, there's no rush!"

But when this news came out, the 27th Division Commander had a grim expression on his face. He knew that the Chinese troops were planning to completely surround him.

Once you succeed, it won't be so easy to break through.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

At this moment, the commander of the 27th Division became anxious.

Without any hesitation, the commander of the 27th Division said to the chief of staff, "According to the established plan, we will immediately retreat to Jinshi with the evacuated personnel."

"All personnel must maintain confidentiality and not allow any information to be leaked."

At this point, the commander of the 27th Division looked at a Japanese colonel and said, "You, stay at the division headquarters. I'll leave you 300 men, as well as a group of horses and cars."

"After we retreat to Jin City, you can lead the team to retreat."

The commander of the 27th Division did not dare to tell the ordinary Japanese soldiers the specific situation because he knew that if the news got out, morale would collapse.

Maybe his own troops could hold on, but those Imperial Army, as well as the temporarily recruited imperial citizens and ronin, would definitely become the source of chaos.

He also needed these people to draw fire from the front so that he and his men could retreat smoothly.

As the commander of the 27th Division issued the order, more than ten minutes later, a force of more than a thousand people, divided into six or seven groups, evacuated in an inconspicuous manner.

In the sky, the 1st Air Brigade, which was responsible for bombing and surveillance, did not notice the situation because the Japanese were acting too covertly.

I have to say that the Japanese were not stupid. They knew that they would be discovered if they were too big a target, so they retreated in a dispersed manner, which at most could be considered as supporting Tianjin.

And there aren't that many of them, more than a thousand people don't pose much of a threat.

Sure enough, this news was reported by the 1st Air Brigade, but Ge Dayong didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't know that these small groups of Japanese and puppet troops were composed of middle and senior officers of the Japanese devils, as well as some elite low-level officers.

Among them were the commander of the 27th Division, the major general chief of staff, three brigade commanders, two division commanders, and at least a dozen colonel regiment commanders.
