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

The Japanese still used the same old tricks. After receiving the news from Peiping, Li Shaoyi sneered.

But North China is different now than it was before. Although my main force has retreated, if you continue to take action here, the police stations in various places would have already practiced it. This place will become a huge whirlpool, swallowing up the Japanese army batch after batch. Let's see how many people you have.

Diao Sanhu was also transferred there by Li Shaoyi himself. He was originally in a combat unit and was almost a regimental commander. Even if he was demobilized according to his rank, it would be impossible for him to go to the county town to be the police chief. The reason why he was arranged in this place was to allow him to be transferred nearby.

Diao Sanhu had just brought the people back to the police station when the sound of artillery fire outside the city was heard. The Japanese had no longer concealed anything and issued a statement to the outside world that the missing soldiers had not been found and the diplomats sent to negotiate had been detained. In order to ensure Japan's interests in North China and maintain Japan's dignity, the Japanese North China Garrison Army had to use force to resolve this matter.

The Aoi Battalion was ordered to launch an attack on Wanping City.

The time is about the same as Li Shaoyi estimated.

It seems that I have not yet affected the wheel of history.

The defenders of the 29th Army fought hard and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese at the Lion Bridge outside the city.

"Captain, the 29th Army is much more powerful than before. It seems to have been strengthened. Our third round of attack has been repelled."

At the command post of the Aoi Battalion, Captain Mito, who was standing nearby, had just withdrawn with his men.

Originally, it was impossible for the 29th Army to have so many light and heavy machine guns. It was just an infantry battalion. Even if it was reinforced, the number of machine guns should not be so many. Now in the 29th Army's defensive positions, there is a machine gun at every distance, making it impossible for the Japanese army to raise their heads.

"This is all the work of the 72nd Army. They didn't have access to weapons imports before, and the quality of their own weapons was poor. The 72nd Army captured a large amount of Soviet and Japanese equipment, which they probably sold to these local armies in their country. Notify the artillery squadron to bombard the enemy positions."

Captain Aoi gritted his teeth and said that he didn't want to expose the artillery squadron so quickly. After all, it is dangerous to expose the artillery. When you are shelling others, if the other party's artillery observers notice it, they will be able to quickly calculate where your artillery position is. If you don't retreat fast enough, then you can just wait to be surrounded.

But now the development of the situation has exceeded expectations. It is basically impossible to rely on the infantry to charge up alone. Now, less than half an hour after the battle started, the casualties of Aoi Battalion have exceeded 100.

According to the original battle plan, even if they defeated the third battalion in front of them, their losses would never exceed 200 people. Now, let alone defeating them, they couldn't even take their first line of defense.

When the Japanese artillery began to dig pits, Diao Sanhu had already arrived at their left wing with another army.

"Commander, didn't you say that the 29th Army's strength has been strengthened? Let them fight for a while. Why did we run out again?"

Orderly soldier Tang Tao said, holding his submachine gun.

"You know nothing! If we just sit back and watch the fight, the 29th Army will suffer heavy losses. Their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of the Japanese, or even worse. Now they are facing the Japanese head-on, and the Japanese are being drawn over. We can just launch an attack from the left flank. If we're lucky, we can completely wipe out this entire brigade."

Diao Sanhu is very good at seizing opportunities in battle. He doesn't want to sit on the city gate tower and watch the excitement. That is not the fine tradition of our 72nd Army.

The more than one hundred brothers around also smiled and nodded. After these guys came out of the city, they immediately divided into several small teams. When they arrived at the designated location, they all returned to their units. At this moment, they were all using automatic firepower. When they reached the Japanese position later, they would give them a good beating.

"Commander...Artillery..."

One of his soldiers pointed to the artillery position on the left and said, "This is the artillery squadron of the Aoi Battalion. Dozens of soldiers were busy preparing to set up six 80mm mortars. After hearing the Chinese calls, they also started to prepare to take out their guns."

"Do it for me."

In a close combat encounter, and without any preparation, it depends on who has the faster reaction. Only a few Japanese artillerymen have guns. Although there is a small team of more than 40 people responsible for guarding, most of them use Type 38 rifles. This place is behind the Aoi Battalion, and they think there is no danger, so there are no heavy firepower such as machine guns.

Diao Sanhuo's men were different. There were more than a hundred of them, and except for a dozen light machine guns, the rest were all equipped with German submachine guns. At such a distance, there was nothing to say, and the sound of popping beans could be heard.

When Captain Aoi heard this sound, the hairs on his body stood up. He had fought against the 72nd Army before, so of course he knew what such a sound meant. He quickly stood up from the trench and wanted to see if there were any troops of the 72nd Army around. If there were, he would have to run back immediately, otherwise he would not even have a chance to escape.

"Captain, be careful..."

The adjutant next to him quickly pulled the guy down, and then several bullets were fired. The people of the 29th Army on the opposite side were not stupid either. No one in the trench showed their head. If you were stupid enough to show your head, wouldn't you be their target?

It’s the direction of the artillery position!

Captain Aoi is also a veteran in the army, and he quickly determined the direction. Was our artillery unit attacked by surprise?

The gunfire was very brief, just a few minutes, and then it stopped. Others couldn't figure out what was going on, but Captain Aoi had already figured it out. Our artillery was probably finished.

"One squadron remains on guard, and the rest of the men go to the artillery positions."

Captain Aoi's order left everyone dumbfounded. Why were seven or eight hundred people going to the artillery position?

Before they moved, they knew why, because a lot of shells fell on the position.

Captain Aoi immediately lay down in the trench. A shrapnel hit the front of him. The red round mark on it indicated that these were Japanese artillery shells.

Damn it, they're using our shells to hit us...
