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

The appearance of anti-tank guns caused us to lose two armored vehicles, but the Japanese army's anti-tank guns soon became silent. There were no more attack targets on the position, and you suddenly set up an attack target for us, so there is nothing to say, we will just attack you hard.

When our two armored vehicles were hit, hope appeared in the eyes of many Japanese soldiers. This was a rare victory on the battlefield.

But soon, their eyes dimmed, because more shoulder-mounted iron fists appeared on our side, and they were fired out in a flash. Before the anti-tank artillery on the Japanese position could figure out what was going on, rounds of explosions began around them.

It is extremely difficult to achieve any military merit in the hands of the 72nd Army. Even if we have hidden our anti-tank artillery in advance, their reaction ability is no joke.

The Japanese soldiers' will was broken, and their anti-tank artillery was their last resort, but it could not withstand the attack of the iron fist.

Six Japanese soldiers were manning a cannon. When a shell was fired, it would take at least one minute to launch the next round of attack. This was done by the veterans who remained calm. However, there were two or three new recruits among them. When they saw the explosions around them, they had already covered their heads and didn't know what to do.

This continued to increase their firing time, so our infantry had already rushed into the range of the Iron Fist. More than a dozen Iron Fists were fired at the same time. Apart from the flames on the position, there was no sign of any counterattack.

The Japanese officers also had high hopes for the anti-tank artillery, but when they saw the flames on the anti-tank position, they knew that they would not be able to withstand it. Apart from pushing their troops forward desperately, they had to think about how to escape.

Some predecessors in the Northeast once said, don’t think about bringing your troops back from the hands of the 72nd Army. Your troops went up to die, and if you can save your life, it is already a pretty good victory. If you still want to ask for too much, then I guess you and your troops will all report to Amaterasu.

When they heard this, many Japanese soldiers did not believe it. They thought that such a thing would never happen. Their army was well-trained. Even if the 72nd Army was very powerful, they could retreat in an orderly manner.

But looking at the battlefield now, many officers are regretting that they did not listen to the warnings of the old veterans in the Northeast. Now many soldiers have been defeated. They don’t know how to fight back with guns in their hands. Instead, they fire randomly during the retreat, causing considerable losses to their own army.

Some officers still insisted on staying on the last front line, but the defeat was like a landslide. When the soldiers had lost the will to resist, no matter how hoarse your voice was, these people would not stay in their original positions for another second. All they wanted now was to run back.

In fact, it is not the fault of these Japanese soldiers. They just cannot fight the current war. Our heavy machine guns were directly targeted by the enemy when the war just started. Whether it is charging or defending, without the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars, it is simply nonsense to rely solely on us infantrymen.

On the other hand, the attacking side of the 72nd Army had a tank or armored vehicle every twenty to thirty meters. The follow-up troops completely centered around the tanks and armored vehicles and launched attacks in stages. There were also very accurate mortars in the rear. Any threatening point on our position would be attacked by more than two or three shells.

Of course, for ordinary Japanese soldiers, the most feared thing was the machine guns of the 72nd Army. This thing was really powerful. There were two or three machine guns on the armored vehicles, one machine gun on the jeep, and many soldiers were holding light machine guns in their hands. I really don’t know how strong their firepower was. Anyway, when the soldiers of the 72nd Army attacked, the Japanese soldiers could not raise their heads. They lay down in the trenches honestly. There was still a chance to be captured, or there was a chance to escape back to the rear, but if you raise your head, your scalp will be penetrated by bullets in an instant.

This is by no means a joke. On a 2,500-meter-long front, the 72nd Army assembled a total of more than 200 machine guns of various types and 270 submachine guns. In this situation, no matter whether the Japanese had iron heads or not, of course, even if they did, they probably would not be able to withstand it.

The Japanese troops around Tianjin Airport originally planned to rest for a day and then launch an attack on the airport the next day. After clearing this point, the 72nd Army would have no stronghold in Tianjin. But now, not only is there no way to clear them out, but we are facing a three-way attack from the airport.

Two kilometers south of the airport, if it were not for the arrival of the Japanese 72nd Brigade, the front line would probably still be unstable. The 72nd Brigade was a reorganized brigade that was originally intended to be sent to fight in Peiping. Now, seeing that the 72nd Army's attack was so swift, the Japanese headquarters stationed in Tianjin could no longer care so much and sent this brigade here.

"Oh, this is the same number as ours. We are the 72nd Army, and they are the 72nd Brigade. What else is there to say? Brothers, beat them up hard. Send all the reserves to the south and defeat the 72nd Brigade. Who the hell are they? Why are they using the same number as us?"

After hearing the news, Li Shaoyi immediately prepared to continue the attack. As long as they fought further south, the airport would basically be safe, and our planes could land calmly. Some of the landing planes had been damaged by artillery fire from the surrounding Japanese troops, causing us considerable losses.

But there was no other way at that time. If we wanted to maintain a stronghold in Jincheng City, we could only let our air force transport troops take risks. Now that we have the ability to attack outward, if we let our air force transport troops take risks again, it would mean that we are incompetent.

Li Shaoyi has always told his men that everyone has their own responsibilities. Once others have fulfilled their responsibilities, you must also fulfill yours. Everyone is a cog in the 72nd Army. If any one person fails to complete the task, the entire 72nd Army may cease to function...
