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

Luodian, northern suburbs of Pujiang

Guo Shaoqiu and his vanguard battalion have arrived at the outer positions of Luodian.

At this moment, the 67th and 14th Divisions suffered heavy casualties.

The position had been occupied by the Japanese 11th Division.

In Guo Shaoqiu's telescope, the Japanese soldiers in the distance were celebrating their victory, but Guo Shaoqiu had a sneer on his face. Originally, he was asked to defend Luodian, but now he was asked to recapture Luodian. But no matter what, as long as this place is handed over to him, he can turn it into a hell for the Japanese.

"Commander Guo, I'm Sun Zheng, Chief of Staff of the 67th Division. My unit lost our position due to incompetence. I'll be court-martialed when I return, but I still want to inform you of the current situation. These are some of the things we recorded during the battle, which may be useful to you. I've also selected thirteen brothers with healthy limbs to serve as your guides..."

While Guo Shaoqiu was observing the position in the distance, several wounded soldiers came over carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was the current highest commander of the 67th Division.

The division commander and deputy division commander have been taken to the field hospital and may not survive today...

All the troops under Guo Shaoqiu, totaling nearly 20,000 people, were organized into the Pujiang First Brigade, which was specifically responsible for defending Luodian and was currently marching towards Luodian from various directions.

"Captain Sun, please don't say that. I remember the battle last night very clearly. The 67th Division was no coward. Despite suffering over 4,000 casualties, they were still able to fight the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat. For this alone, we admire them deeply."

What Guo Shaoqiu said was the truth. Only twenty minutes had passed since we arrived here, and more than 500 wounded soldiers had been carried up by our people.

There was really not a single good spot on his body. You can imagine how bad the fight was last night.

"Commander, Commander Sun is seriously injured. Let me be brief."

A doctor nearby knocked on the stretcher, not giving them a chance to continue speaking.

Sun Zheng also looked at the doctor in some surprise. In the 72nd Army, it has long been heard that everyone has their own duties, and even if you are a superior, you cannot delay other people's work. Now it seems that the rumors are true.

"We must make sure Commander Sun is well and well. Rest assured, Commander Sun, I will take good care of the people you left behind. News of the Luodian victory will be delivered to the hospital before dinner tonight. No matter who we see, the Pujiang First Brigade will tear them apart."

Guo Shaoqiu said very ambitiously, and Sun Zheng nodded with a smile. A large number of trucks were pulling heavy artillery over from behind. Compared with them, we are almost using fire sticks. No wonder Brigade Commander Guo dared to make such arrogant remarks. He must have a diamond drill in his hand.

"Pass on my order to give some medicine to the Japanese celebrating their victory."

Looking at the Japanese flag waving in the distance, Guo Shaoqiu felt extremely irritated. When I was not here, there were no artillery here that could reach you, and I let you jumping clowns jump around. Now that I am here, if I still let you howl here, then I am wrong.

Twelve 105mm heavy artillery pieces were quickly deployed around the position. The soldiers used their highest skills to adjust the artillery in the shortest time possible. In less than seven minutes, the first shell had been fired.

The Tiangu Regiment of the 11th Division, which was celebrating in Luodian, immediately felt something was wrong, because the Chinese army in front of them could never have such heavy artillery. They had been fighting for a day and a night, and the most they had was 75mm infantry gun. Where did these 105mm howitzers come from?

Guo Shaoqiu saw it clearly through his telescope. When our shells landed, hundreds of Japanese soldiers quickly switched from celebration to defense, a move that surprised him. "They are indeed elite Japanese soldiers. But as our commander-in-chief said, I'm here to target the elite today. If you're not elite enough, then it's not worth my while."

"The artillery mobile unit moves forward, firing five rapid rounds to cover the entire Luodian position."

The firing rate of these twelve howitzers alone was too slow, so Guo Shaoqiu issued another order.

More than 20 jeeps rushed out quickly. The mortar had to be installed on the jeep because of its short range, but its firing rate was relatively fast.

We have acted many times. As long as you run fast enough, the enemy will not be able to catch you. When the Japanese saw the jeep rushing out, the heavy machine gunners also tightened their grip on the Type 92 heavy machine guns. Once the jeep came into range, they would immediately start shooting and would never let these people go back alive.

But unfortunately, they had no intention of rushing forward. After entering the mortar's range, each artillery piece began to do its own work. After firing five shells, it immediately moved to other places without even waiting for a salvo.

Each jeep was loaded with only fifteen shells, and they were moved to another position every five shells. More than twenty jeeps and more than three hundred 100mm mortar shells turned the entire Luodian position into a sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, some people from other troops of the 18th Army responsible for the defense of the surrounding area shouted loudly. They had been fighting for two days and had been bombed most of the time. It was finally a sign that the Japanese were in trouble.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, you should be from the 72nd Army. Other units do not have such weapons."

Captain Tiangu came out of the temporary defensive fortifications. He was frightened by the sudden artillery bombardment just now. The shells were overwhelming, and they were all heavy artillery with a diameter of more than 100 mm. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have lost his life. There were already more than 200 wounded soldiers on the position.

"What was our artillery doing? Why didn't they return fire immediately?"

The jeeps in the distance had already begun to retreat, but the Japanese artillery did not show any reaction, which made him very angry.

"Reporting to His Excellency, Commander, we have already used up nearly 90% of our artillery shells during the daytime battle. You said that without your personal order, no one is allowed to use the last 10% of the ammunition."

The combat staff looked very unhappy and said that according to the command of the headquarters, they should be given a replenishment after dark, but they heard that the transport ship at sea sank and their artillery shells were on that transport ship. The next arrival would be at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so before two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, their army would have no artillery cover.

An infantry unit without artillery cover would be extremely dangerous on the battlefield, especially for the Japanese army, which excels in coordinated infantry and artillery operations...
