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

The Japanese Navy's 203mm naval guns continued to fire according to previous requirements, but the shells only raised some dust and did not cause any casualties to the 72nd Army on its retreat route.

"See? I told you our tactics were sound. They originally relied on the navy's cover and thought we wouldn't dare attack. But as long as we finish the battle within fifteen minutes, their naval guns will be powerless against us."

Captain Wang looked back and saw that the nearest shell had landed 1 kilometer away. Although it was extremely powerful, it could not cause any harm to us.

"Captain, that wave of attack just now killed at least 600 of their people."

The staff officers in charge of combat statistics have also come up with figures. Of course, it is impossible to be absolutely accurate on the battlefield, but everyone tries to make the figures accurate. These figures are very important to the decision makers above. Once you exaggerate the results of the battle, you may formulate wrong plans, and then the front-line soldiers will pay the price.

"Ask the Chief of Staff. If they don't have any major casualties, let's find a place to rest for two hours. I'll look for the target after that."

Captain Wang smiled and nodded. No matter whether it was six hundred or five hundred, our losses were less than thirty people. Only one armored vehicle and two trucks were destroyed, and the rest returned intact.

The situation on the chief of staff's side was a little worse, with only less than 500 people killed, but more than 450. The results on the regimental commander's side were slightly greater, and half of the day's combat mission had been completed. People on both sides found a place to hide, and those who needed to eat ate, while the people in the transport company hurried to replenish ammunition for the various combat units. This thing is the most deadly. If it is lacking on the battlefield, then you can't expect to achieve any results.

Brigadier General Saito was so angry that he overturned the table, but the navy was still blaming them. Are we going to use such precious naval shells to bomb the enemy's land?

Brigadier General Saito didn't know what to say. The people in front of him had already made their calculations. They used aerial reconnaissance to find the distance of the warships, and then calculated the time it would take for the warships to arrive. Before the warships opened fire, they would shoot and run away.

A standard Japanese brigade had about 12,000 people, and now more than a thousand of them were killed. It should not be a serious loss, but this method made many people feel aggrieved.

When the 72nd Army launched the attack, they were ready to fight back, but their superiors told them to try not to go out of the trenches, to just resist in the trenches and wait for the naval guns.

It is normal for the superiors to give such an order. If you rush out and mix with the people of the 72nd Army, the naval guns will not have eyes. If they really fall down, you will be beaten to the ground.

Now the soldiers below are all obedient, but the enemy runs away after taking advantage of the enemy’s shots. The soldiers fighting on the front line really have no measures to fight back except to clean up the bodies of their colleagues.

Two hours later...

"Still fighting here?"

The chief of staff said in disbelief, we have already fought once in the morning, and now we are continuing to fight in the same direction of the morning attack.

"The Air Force reconnaissance has been carried out. Look at the position of the warships nearby. It will take at least half an hour to get here. We will fight the same way this afternoon as we did this morning. Even you don't believe that we can continue to attack here this afternoon. Do you think the Japanese will believe it? When we retreated this morning, I had my men create a large amount of dust to tell them that we retreated to a distant place. So now these people have no defenses. At most, in an hour, today's combat objectives have been exceeded."

When Captain Wang was fighting in the morning, he knew that this army was not that powerful. They didn't even dare to rush out to fight and could only stay in the trenches. Anyway, the order from above was to send two thousand Japanese soldiers, but it didn't say which unit the Japanese soldiers were from. If he didn't continue to bully them, who else could he find?

"That's true, but I don't think we need to separate. This afternoon, we should just merge the two of us and gather all our armored forces. Since they don't have any artillery, we can just rely on the additional anti-tank guns on the position and put the tanks in the front."

The chief of staff thought for a while and said that since they were not very clear about the enemy's situation in the morning, it was very normal to fight separately. Now they knew that it was only an independent infantry brigade and it did not have many heavy weapons, so they might as well merge them together. In this way, the results achieved might be greater.

"That's what I thought. Also, send out all our iron fists. During the battle this afternoon, unleash all our artillery fire and attack them for five minutes. Then, all our personnel will charge in and throw all our weapons and equipment at them in the shortest possible time. I honestly don't believe we can't defeat a thousand of them in half an hour."

Captain Wang said very proudly that when he was studying in the military academy, the instructors taught them the most, that is, to give full play to the combat advantages of your army. Only in this way can we reduce the casualties of soldiers and expand our own victory.

There are more than 360 iron fists in the whole regiment. Now they are all sent out. When they reach the front of the position, one wave of attack will be enough to defeat them.

The result of helping out in the morning came out. The Sixth Regiment's combat mission had been completed, and the artillery company was under our command.

"Do you know what the Sixth Regiment's combat objective is?"

After receiving this news, Captain Wang looked at the combat staff here. They all came from the same military academy, and there are some of your classmates in various places. This is not confidential information, and everyone should know it.

"Commander, the Sixth Regiment has a combat mission of 2,500 people, 500 more than us, and that's because they just expanded with a reinforced company."

When Li Shaoyi formulates combat missions, in addition to considering the capabilities of the combat troops themselves, he also considers what kind of army is in front of you.

"Then let's continue our attack later. There are only 500 of us here anyway. Keep pulling the triggers. If you don't use up all the bullets, you won't have dinner tonight."

Captain Wang said with a smile, and his brothers also had smiles on their faces. After the commander-in-chief changed this fighting style, the pressure on us was relieved. Judging from the number of living forces destroyed alone, it was even more intense than the previous battle for the position.
