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

The Japanese attacked for nearly half an hour, but due to the fierce firepower of the Pujiang 1st Brigade, they only advanced less than 200 meters on the position and were unable to advance at all.

According to the Japanese idea, without exposing the artillery positions, we should send our infantry first. When the infantry is less than 200 meters away from the enemy's position, the artillery will bombard the position of the First Brigade, and then the infantry who rushed up will take this opportunity to rush into the position of the First Brigade.

Even if it means hand-to-hand combat, the first-line position of the First Brigade must be occupied, and the second phase of the battle will be carried out after daybreak.

This idea was certainly a good one, but it was clear that they had no experience fighting the 72nd Army. If they had found an experienced officer, they probably wouldn't have formulated such a battle plan now, because at a distance of 800 to 1,200 meters, the 72nd Army would have a way to check you, and it would be quite effective.

Now the Japanese finally realized that from 800 meters away, no weapon could hurt them except the blind shooting of the enemy's heavy machine guns.

But now at this distance, the small artillery of the enemy armored vehicle is like the scythe of the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of these people. Moreover, that thing does not need to be aimed very accurately. As long as it knows your general position and fires several shells in succession, you will have no chance of survival.

The Japanese soldiers also realized that the enemy's artillery shells were free of charge. Because of the skirmish line, their soldiers were relatively far apart from each other, and in some places there were only one or two soldiers, but the enemy's armored vehicles were still firing non-stop. Five artillery shells could blow up an area of ​​100 square meters around them.

They don't want to kill you. Anyway, within this area of ​​about 100 square meters, the flying shrapnel will definitely injure you.

Even if you are still alive, you don't have the strength to continue moving forward and can only withdraw from the battle with hatred. If someone pulls you back from behind, then you are lucky. If there is no one, then you just wait here. There is still a chance to survive in the short term, but if you wait for a long time and bleed too much, even Amaterasu can't save you and can only take you away.

So when it was almost dawn, the Japanese army chose to withdraw and did not expose its artillery. According to Guo Shaoqiu's idea, the Japanese artillery would start bombarding in at most ten minutes, and then we could abandon a batch of artillery in an orderly manner and replace the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.

But the problem is that the Japanese commander is also quite shrewd. In this situation, even if the Japanese artillery is ordered to fire, it will not save the declining situation on the battlefield.

It might be able to cause some damage to the enemy in front of it, but the Japanese heavy artillery regiment could not be saved. From any perspective, firing artillery was a losing business for the Japanese artillery.

"Companies 1, 4, 6, and 9, follow my orders. Advance quickly, one thousand meters. You can only advance one thousand meters. Then, use up all your bullets and shells. Attack freely. Once you've used up all your bullets, return quickly. Companies 3 and 5 will provide cover."

As soon as the Japanese began to retreat, Guo Shaoqiu's voice appeared in the ears of the company commanders. After hearing the news, smiles appeared on their faces and they hurriedly urged the soldiers to prepare to charge forward.

The tanks and armored vehicles on the battlefield naturally took the lead. Many trucks, seeing that the road ahead was flat, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed forward with their companions.

Those who are lucky have transportation, but those who are unlucky can only rely on their own legs to move forward. I was so anxious in my heart. The person who drove there for me definitely didn’t even leave us some soup.

The Japanese 3rd Division's Kimura Regiment was responsible for the attack in the early morning. After fighting for nearly two hours, they did not gain any benefits except leaving behind 500 corpses.

At this moment, Captain Kimura also realized that there was no benefit in deploying the artillery, so he let his men withdraw first and make plans after dawn.

Just as he was about to return to the tent to rest for a while, he heard a crackling sound from the distant position. He could tell that it was the artillery on the armored vehicles of the Pujiang First Brigade across the way. What was going on?

"Go find out."

He was about eight or nine hundred meters away from the front line, and the various construction debris in the middle blocked his view, so he could only order his men to find out clearly.

The Kishimoto Battalion, which was at the forefront of their infantry company, was also the infantry battalion that carried out the charge mission in the early morning. They lost nearly half of their people and did not achieve any results. All the soldiers were at their lowest morale, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a large number of artillery shells suddenly fell from behind them, and more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed.

what?

Did Kishimoto's battalion encounter an enemy counterattack?

After Captain Kimura got the news, he quickly climbed up to a dilapidated second floor nearby. From his position, he could see clearly that about two thousand meters away, an entire line was bright and flashing.

He knew what was going on. This was the gap between the enemy's guns and artillery fire. If this was not on the battlefield, it would have been a beautiful sight. But now he knew very well that for every second this firepower lasted, at least several of his soldiers would fall, or even more than a dozen.

"Order the artillery to kill them for me."

In order to preserve the artillery, he did not let the artillery fire just now, but now they have reached the door. Kishimoto's battalion should be destroyed, and the two surrounding battalions will also suffer. If he does not open fire in this situation, then his entire infantry company will be almost wiped out.

That is, when he gave the order to open fire, the enemy's shining line began to retreat, and the retreat speed was very fast.

"Order the artillery to cease firing."

When Captain Kimura shouted this, he knew it was no use because shells were already falling in the distance.

The artillery observers in the enemy army are not fools and can easily find our artillery positions.

A retreating armored vehicle was hit by Japanese artillery fire and several soldiers jumped out of it, their bodies burning with flames.

However, Captain Kimura wasn't in the least bit happy. This might be their only victory. Next up was the heavy artillery company...

As expected, it was just as he imagined. In less than half a minute, the large-caliber heavy artillery on the opposite side opened fire. Those guys had figured out their artillery position in such a short time. They must have been well trained...
