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

Taro Ito almost fainted after receiving the report from his subordinates. He was only 2 kilometers away from the front line of the battlefield and could feel the vibration of the ground. When the first batch of armored vehicles came out, he said that the Pujiang First Brigade had no new tricks. He knew that he would not dare to engage in a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with them using these armored vehicles.

But when the 155mm heavy artillery came out later, he knew that this war would be difficult to win, because they had not prepared heavy artillery. Even if they were transported from other places, it would be too late, and the two infantry companies under his command would definitely suffer.

But what happened next was beyond his expectations. He had already prepared for the two infantry companies to suffer losses, but he had not expected such a big loss. From his position, he could not see clearly to the west. The visibility was only a few dozen meters. The inside was filled with thick smoke. Of course, he could hear the shouting inside.

Several communicators have been sent out, but the telephone lines were disconnected long ago, and we don’t know what the situation is at the headquarters of the two infantry companies.

Normally, if they encountered such a situation, they should have sent someone to contact the division headquarters long ago. If my people didn't arrive, where did their people go?

"Don't just stand around me. Go down and figure out a solution. I need to know the specific situation of these two infantry companies."

Taro Ito said angrily that after staying in China for a long time, this guy's tone of voice is almost the same as that of the Chinese, which may be because he has lived in the Northeast for too long.

The combat staff under him all ran away, but they just moved to another place to hide. How could we investigate this situation for you? Can't we see the fierce explosion up ahead? If we went to investigate for you, we would probably lose our lives.

"The Pujiang First Brigade is simply crazy. Do you know how many shells they have used? I have been counting them from the beginning until now. It must be at least five times as many. Where did they get so many shells?"

A combat staff officer of the 3rd Division said in panic that he knew that the unit affiliated with the 72nd Army had powerful firepower, with everything from armored vehicles to tanks, but since entering the battlefield, the artillery exposed were all 105mm. He did not expect that there would be larger caliber ones this time, and the shells seemed to be bottomless.

"There are more heavy artillery on the northern battlefield. We always subjectively thought they couldn't transport it to the Pujiang battlefield, but it seems they have already transported it. We are only focusing on the railway line, but Longguo is very large. What if they transport it to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and then downstream? There are various routes anyway."

A map of Dragon Country appeared in the mind of another combat staff officer.

Finally, after his research, he found that there were several ways to transport the heavy artillery.

In fact, this guy was wrong. There was no so-called secret transportation line at all. All the artillery was left behind by Li Shaoyi when he was in Pujiang. There was a huge gunpowder depot under the entire airport, but no one had discovered it.

Still not stopping?

These two infantry companies were about to be wiped out.

The bombardment lasted a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes...

When the shelling stopped, it took nearly an hour for the smoke on the battlefield to slowly dissipate. The Japanese soldiers shouted their familiar names, but no one on the entire battlefield answered. The most brutal battle on the Pujiang battlefield since the beginning of the war was caused by a pile of artillery shells.

In the past, our troops rushed to Pujiang from all over the country, and many brave people were killed by Japanese artillery fire as soon as they entered the battlefield. Now the situation has finally been reversed. Under the attack of our heavy artillery, there are nearly 8000 people in the two Japanese infantry regiments, but now less than 1000 are alive, and the rest have been killed by artillery fire. Even among the 1000 people who are still alive, more than half of them have developed various problems and have to withdraw from the battlefield.

This bombardment not only shocked the 3rd Division, but also the entire Pujiang Expeditionary Force. They began to reflect from top to bottom because they underestimated the battlefield, which led to serious losses to more than 8000 people.

The surrounding friendly Nationalist troops also had a new understanding of the artillery fire of the Pujiang First Brigade. The artillery fire used this morning almost exceeded the total of all other Nationalist troops combined.

Especially in terms of artillery shells, it seemed as if there was never a pause. Even though there were not many Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, the shells still fell like rain.

The 3rd Division's first round of attack was definitely a failure. They didn't even get to see the enemy's position, and nearly 8000 of their men were lost.

This was the day with the largest single-day losses for the Japanese since the Battle of Pujiang.

All the officials of the Pujiang Expeditionary Force Command were shocked by the single-day losses. If they continued to send troops to occupy the position and the other side still had enough artillery shells, would there be 8000 casualties tomorrow?

If the casualties continue like this, how many days can the Pujiang Expeditionary Force fight?

It was previously believed that China could be destroyed within three months. After taking Pujiang, they would be able to force the National Government to surrender. After all, the Chinese government was not so strong in the past, and they had done similar things before. After signing the agreement, they would be able to occupy a large area of ​​Chinese territory.

But unexpectedly, the Pujiang battle was hit by a heavy hammer just as it began.

Unlike the Japanese officers and soldiers on the battlefield, the Longguo battlefield was filled with cheers.

In the sky, more than a dozen fighter planes formed a neat formation and flew low over the soldiers' heads. Many soldiers happily threw their hats and clothes to celebrate the victory.

The citizens of Pujiang were also stunned by what they saw. They didn't remember what this place looked like before, but now they knew very well that they should avoid coming here at night if there was nothing to do. 8 Japanese soldiers died here in one day. If there were any wandering souls, this would definitely be the place with the heaviest yin energy.

After learning the news, the Japanese headquarters severely reprimanded the Urayasu Expeditionary Force Command and dismissed the commander of the 3rd Division, Taro Ito, demoting him to the position of chief of staff of the 3rd Division and temporarily serving as the commander of the 3rd Division.

This kind of punishment can almost be said to be a tickle. In the future, if the 3rd Division makes some meritorious service, he will be able to be reinstated immediately. This is also because Taro Ito has a backer. If he didn't have a backer, he would have been taken back to Tokyo by the military police long ago, and it would be a question whether he could get out in this lifetime.
