Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Major General Deville was indeed young and full of vigor, but ten minutes after the fighting started, he immediately felt something was wrong. According to the information his men had gathered, the other side was only a security brigade, but the firepower they displayed was even enough to match several of their 32nd Division.

When the artillery of both sides started to attack each other, Major General Deville immediately dragged out his 24 105mm howitzers to let them see that our Russian army is also capable and is definitely not like the previous armies that would fall apart at the first touch.

In the Russian army, the 105mm howitzer is the divisional artillery, but most of the artillery used are old artillery from the First World War. The 32nd Division is different. They use all new artillery.

In this situation, Major General Deville was ready to make the security guard on the opposite side suffer a loss. Of course, the other side did suffer a loss. They did not expect that the artillery power of the 32nd Division was so strong. However, the smile on Major General Deville's face did not last even five minutes, and the enemy's artillery immediately counterattacked.

How could it be possible that an infantry brigade of the enemy also had 105mm howitzers?

In the previous combat log, he knew that the enemy army had 120mm mortars, but although that thing was powerful, its range was not far enough, so it would definitely suffer when the two sides were bombarding each other. But he didn't expect that the enemy was using howitzers. Major General Deville had given orders to the artillery units before, telling them that the enemy troops had no artillery that could hit them, and after the war started, they just had to pour shells at them with all their might.

So after the war started, the artillery units had no intention of moving. Since the other side did not have artillery with such a long range, we should carry out covering artillery bombardment on their positions. Although there were not so many artillery shells, we should still carry out covering artillery bombardment on their artillery positions.

So these people were busy and busy, even the soldiers transporting the shells felt full of energy. But after they fired a basic number of shells, an overwhelming amount of shells fell. Didn’t the enemy say that they didn’t have artillery with such a long range? How did all these shells get here?

The commander of the artillery regiment at that time ordered the troops to retreat, but when your coordinates were discovered and the enemy had already begun to attack, your retreat would never be successful. In the end, the artillery regiment only withdrew less than one-third of the troops.

The artillery regiment was the trump card of the 32nd Division. Within half an hour of the start of the war, the trump card was defeated. Many soldiers were watching it with great enthusiasm just now. Let our artillery teach these Chinese people a lesson.

But who knew that after just a few shots, our artillery position was actually blown up.

Without giving them any time to figure out what was going on, Zhang Haiguang opened fire with the mortar on the front line. Our heavy artillery is only slightly weaker than yours, but our mortars are several times stronger than yours, especially the 120mm heavy mortar. After the shells fall, they are more powerful than the 105mm howitzer.

The entire 32nd Division's position was stunned in an instant. The enemy's firepower was too strong. It was just a security guard, but they had at least 200 artillery pieces in total.

After seeing this scene, Major General Deville could no longer sit still. He ordered his troops to charge immediately. They had to fight their way out of the road blocked by the enemy. Returning to Ulaanbaatar was their only way to survive. This guy was not stupid. There was still a chance at night. After dawn, our air force was suppressed by their air force, and their air force still had spare strength. We really couldn't go back.

Regiment after regiment rushed forward, but this makeshift defense line was like an iron chain, blocking the 32nd Division's way home. No matter what methods they used, even many soldiers rushed forward with grenades tied to their bodies, they were unable to blast open a bloody path.

Major General Deville went to the front line regardless of his own safety. He saw a terrible thing. The enemy had too many armored vehicles and tanks with large-caliber machine guns and dual-purpose artillery. The killing range of these things was one thousand or even two thousand meters away. So our soldiers were greeted by their weapons as soon as they stepped out of the trenches.

At a distance of 1,500 to 2,000 meters, we were unable to cause them any harm. On the contrary, 20 percent of our troops had been killed at this distance, and a lot of troops were lost in the process of advancing.

Major General Deville felt that he was having difficulty breathing. Seeing his soldiers falling down one after another, he wanted to grab the gun next to him and rush forward himself. However, he knew very well that if he rushed forward with a gun, not only would he not be able to break through the enemy's blockade, but the entire army might also lose its commander, leading to the possibility of the entire army being wiped out by dawn tomorrow.

"Can we continue westward?"

Another infantry regiment's charge was repelled. He had a total of three infantry regiments under his command. Now two of them had tried, but they could not get close to the range of 300 meters. The number of casualties was also increasing. This kind of charge was useless and could only increase their burden.

"Continuing westward is theoretically possible, but our soldiers lack mobility. They will definitely follow us. Based on past experiences in battles with the Japanese, they will use various mechanical devices to constantly move around us, killing our soldiers until we..."

The combat staff officer hadn't finished speaking, but everyone around him understood that it was not impossible to go west, but on the way west, our soldiers would continue to fall until all of them fell.

Oh shit!

Major General Deville cursed.

"Send my guard company up and have them attack together with the 22nd Regiment."

There is only one regiment left that has not been deployed. Major General Deville's guard company is also fully equipped with submachine guns, which is definitely a rare situation in the Russian army.

Everyone knows that their general is using all his strength at this moment. Normally, the guard company is very precious. Without special circumstances, they will never be sent to carry out such a life-threatening mission. But in this situation, if they don't use it, they will be destroyed along with everyone else.

Zhang Haiguang's men didn't feel anything, but instead became more courageous as the fight went on. They were already hoping to end the battle before dawn...
