The so-called transfer is naturally a retreat after failure. Anton Maobei believes that after the troops are divided, they will be more vulnerable to attacks, so in this situation, the two should merge together and work as a team to deal with greater difficulties.

"Then order them to quickly move towards me. At the same time, find all our air defense weapons and have the Chief of Staff find them as well. Then we can set up an air defense system."

Originally, when facing the attack of the 72nd Division Air Force, their approach was to hide, that is, to find a place to lie down. Anyway, not many people would be killed, so they just let them bomb.

The situation is different now. The 72nd Division has already sent out ground troops. If you continue to ignore the aircraft bombing, and the ground troops rush over immediately after the bombing is finished, our losses will be even greater.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, ground-based weapons have minimal impact on the air force. Even if the ground-based anti-aircraft weapons of our two divisions were combined, it would be difficult to contain them. I request that the First Air Division send aircraft to cover us."

A combat staff officer hesitated for a moment, but finally said it. Although it seemed a bit cowardly, he might die faster if he didn't say it.

Tanimoto Masao nodded. Didn't he know this was the right approach? The problem was that the First Air Division had suffered heavy losses. After the last replenishment, half of Japan's reserve aircraft had been withdrawn. If these losses continued, Japan's industrial capacity wouldn't be able to replenish them. Neither raw materials nor productivity could keep up. Such a small country was in dire straits.

Among the major powers in the world, Japan's industrial production capacity has always been at the bottom. That is, their strength only has an advantage when competing with agricultural countries and some backward countries. If they really compete with developed countries in Europe and the United States, their industrial production capacity may not even be able to catch up with a fraction of others.

What's more, there is still more than a year before the full-scale war breaks out. The domestic industry is still developing steadily and has not fully shifted to the military industry, so productivity is even lower.

"Tell the First Aviation Division about our situation. I know they have a lot of difficulties, but we have even more. I'll try to get them some additional aircraft. We still have to rely on them for air defense at this stage."

Masao Tanimoto seemed to have lost the energy to do anything. He witnessed his brother being blown in half with his own eyes. When facing the 72nd Division, it seemed that he had lost all his former prestige.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have all witnessed the enemy's attack method just now. We have also prepared some plans to deal with this attack method. Please review them."

The combat staff of the 1st Division are not fools. It is okay for them to suffer a loss once, but if they suffer losses twice in a row, then these people are all good-for-nothings and do not deserve to stay in the 1st Division.

In addition to finding the rare anti-tank guns, there are also Type 92 infantry guns in the team. These Type 92 infantry guns are relatively light and move quickly. When armored vehicles rush over, soldiers should not fiddle with machine guns or the like, as those things cannot cause damage to armored vehicles. Instead, the Type 92 infantry guns can be fired straight at will to blow up the enemy's armored vehicles.

Of course, the most important thing is the courage of the soldiers. The first is the Type 92 infantry gun, and the second is these suicidal soldiers.

One or two grenades will have little effect on the enemy's armored vehicles, but if a soldier straps eight or nine grenades to his body, rushes directly under the enemy armored vehicle, and then detonates the grenades on his body, the armored vehicle will basically not survive.

According to their calculations, twenty soldiers in exchange for one armored vehicle is a great value.

"Arrange them immediately. Both of these are extremely useful. The next time the enemy attacks, we must see the results. Please rest assured that the selected soldiers will know that their families will be well taken care of by the Empire of Japan and will never let them down."

Masao Tanimoto said expressionlessly that it was an honor to let his soldiers participate in such a suicide attack, without considering whether these people were willing or not.

"Hayi..."

After receiving the order from the division commander, these people immediately went down to make arrangements. In fact, there were also suicidal soldiers just now, but they were not organized and had no coordination, so apart from blowing themselves and their comrades around them to death, they did not achieve any effective results.

Now that the division commander has agreed, we have to make some plans for this type of combat. For example, there must be a suicide squad at certain distances within the team. When the armored vehicle rushes in, these people will run for their lives like ordinary soldiers, but when they can run to the armored vehicle, they will try to get under the vehicle. If that doesn't work, they can also lie on top of it.

During the second round of attack, Wu Tongguo still used the same old tactics. The planes would bomb first, and then the brothers would rush up.

However, this time his brothers suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen armored vehicles were destroyed because of the Japanese's suicidal tactics. Although the flat fire of the Type 92 infantry gun also caused certain damage to the armored vehicles, the target of the infantry gun was relatively large after all. When they pulled out the infantry gun, they had not adjusted the shooting angle yet, and our 20mm gun had already swept over.

Unless the aim is very accurate and the center of the armored vehicle is hit, the damage in other places will not be very great. This is indeed a bit difficult for the Japanese in the chaos.

Our losses were mainly caused by the suicide soldiers. They had eight or nine grenades tied to their bodies with the fuses connected together. When they saw an armored vehicle nearby, they would lie on the vehicle and detonate it.

If someone gets under the vehicle, the armored vehicle is basically ruined. If someone gets on top of the armored vehicle, a hole will be blown in the back. If they are lucky, they can continue to move forward, but if they are unlucky, the power will be lost directly.

When the armored vehicle's power disappeared, the surrounding Japanese troops rushed forward.

The brothers were not afraid. At most, they would fight the Japanese to the death. After they had used up all their weapons, the brothers fired the glorious bullets in the armored vehicles.

The second wave of attack resulted in losses of more than a quarter, and Wu Tongguo had to change his tactics.

At the same time, the situation on Zheng Gongpei's side was similar. The fierce fighting power of the Japanese on the battlefield did indeed make the brothers of the 72nd Division suffer...
