Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 44 The Japanese Army’s Three Axe Skills!

"Is it just the personal behavior of an arms dealer? Can those idiots in the headquarters figure it out? Is it that what I wrote is not detailed enough? Or are they blind and can't understand it?" Major General Sakurada Takeshi looked at the telegram and kicked over the dining table in front of him in anger.

Which arms dealer can stockpile so many weapons?

A force of several thousand people.

There is also a 105mm howitzer.

75mm mountain cannon and 81mm mortar, as well as the useless 50mm mortar.

When did arms dealers become so rich?

These arms would be worth 20 to 30 million dollars if converted into money.

Do not!
even more!

Because the other side also used 105mm howitzers.

The 105mm howitzer alone is very expensive.

Not to mention the rest.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Major General Sakurada Takeshi really wanted to ask those bastards at the base camp to come over and take a look.

Is this the amount of arms a dealer could accumulate before a war?

The staff officers of the brigade headquarters were trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak.

Everyone's eyes turned to Prince Kitashirakawa.

He should be the only one who dares to speak here, because he is a member of the royal family.

High status and position.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the headquarters' speculation is unreasonable. If it was the Germans' work, they would definitely have transported these weapons to the mountain city instead of ending up in the hands of these ragtag troops." After all, the Chief of the Army General Staff is also a member of the royal family, and they are all family members. He must maintain the other party's face, so Prince Kitashirakawa played the role of a peacemaker.

"So the arms dealer's speculation is very reasonable, but we don't know who did it, the Germans or other powers."

"Anyway, allowing these equipment to suddenly appear on the battlefield at this time is obviously a deliberate attempt to harm our imperial army."

Prince Kitashirakawa changed the subject and continued.

"I think they don't want to see the Imperial Army completely occupy the Guina area and cut off China's external connections."

"They still have many interests in the Far East. This war has damaged the interests of the great powers such as Britain and France. We are now attacking southern Guangxi and completely blocking the external contacts of the mountain city. I think the ultimate goal of the headquarters is to swallow up the whole of China."

"It is impossible for the great powers to watch us swallow up such a large market."

I have to say that this analysis makes sense. At least the staff members of the brigade think so.

"Hmph..." Major General Sakurada Takeshi snorted, which was considered as his agreement with what he said.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I think we must severely damage or even annihilate these ragtag armies in front of us and completely shatter the fantasies of the great powers." Prince Kitashirakawa continued to persuade.

Hearing this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi was silent for a while and nodded.

"Tomorrow we will have the fighter planes bomb first, followed by the artillery. I believe the Chinese troops on the battlefield will be at the breaking point by this time. Finally, the infantry will rush up and destroy these damn Chinese troops."

"Hi." Everyone in the brigade responded in unison.

A night passed and the entire position was eerily quiet. Both sides were resting and preparing for the next day's battle.

On January 29, 1, the sky was just getting light and foggy, with low visibility.

There were bursts of roars coming from the sky.

"Here it comes." In a hidden position, Lu Yuhua looked at the approaching fighter planes in the distance and sneered.

"Commander, you guessed that the Japanese were going to use fighter planes?" Long Wenjian was confused at first, why did they withdraw from the position before dawn and only leave a squad of soldiers to monitor, it turned out that they guessed that the Japanese were going to use fighter planes. "The Japanese only have three tricks, artillery bombardment, infantry charge, infantry charge, artillery bombardment, they suffered such a big loss yesterday, they must get back at it today, how to find it? It's nothing more than bombing by fighter planes, if you want it to work, it's just after dawn, this is the best time." Lu Yuhua looked at the fighter planes getting closer and closer, with a relaxed look on his face.

"What a pity! The fortifications that were repaired with great difficulty have to be dug again." Long Wenjian said with a look of regret.

"There's nothing to regret." Lu Yuhua looked indifferent. He was only looking forward to the arrival of the anti-aircraft guns so that he could catch the Japanese army off guard.

Even the air command center will be unlocked soon, and then he can produce fighter planes and let the enemy have a good taste of his power.

Of course, we have to endure it for now, but the Japanese army won't be able to jump around for many more days.

After one night, a lot of weapons and equipment have been produced and are being loaded onto trucks. They are being sent here according to orders.

boom!
boom!
boom!
During the conversation, Japanese fighter planes had arrived at the position, and aerial bombs kept falling. As the explosions rang out, the dirt and sacks on the position were blown into the air.

Even the wooden bridges between the trenches were destroyed.

Major General Sakurada Takeshi, who was far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.

These damn Chinese soldiers certainly didn't expect that the Imperial Army's fighters would arrive at their positions at dawn, and they must be fleeing in panic now.

Looking at the battlefield shrouded in smoke, the frustration brought by yesterday was completely released.

Ten minutes later, the fighter planes left, and the artillery, which had been waiting for a long time, also went to the battlefield, bombarding the positions indiscriminately with shells as if they were free.

Such brutal firepower left Long Wenjian and Lu Yuyan dumbfounded.

If we foolishly stay here, with this bombing, I'm afraid the battalion won't be able to survive for long.

Only Lu Yuhua understood why the 76th Division couldn't hold out for even a day.

"As expected of the 1st Guards Brigade, their firepower is so intense." Lu Yuhua said with a sigh.

If he doesn't have a base vehicle, no matter how many people he has, they won't be enough to fill the line.

"Commander, the firepower of these Japanese devils is so fucking brutal." Long Wenjian came back to his senses and murmured.

"Okay, the Japanese are coming up, Lu Yuyan is looking at you, you better not let me down." Lu Yuhua looked at Lu Yuyan who was silent aside.

"Don't worry, the people are here and the position is here." Lu Yuyan said loudly.

Originally, Takeshi Sakurada had high hopes, thinking that with such fierce firepower, the enemy would suffer heavy casualties and that he could take the position with a single charge.

Fortunately, having learned from the previous lesson, they learned their lesson this time and only asked the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment to send out a squadron.

There was no movement until fifty meters in front of the position.

Just when the Japanese army thought they could successfully take the position this time.

Hundreds of people jumped out of the trenches without waiting for the Japanese army to react.

The dense rain of bullets came again.

The Japanese soldiers rushing in the front had looks of fear in their eyes, and even forgot to shoot at one point.

idiot!

Why are there still so many people?
Da da da!
Click, click, click!
The bullets were like harvesters, taking away dozens of Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers behind wanted to lie down to avoid the rain of bullets.

As a result, hundreds of grenades were thrown over again.

This time I was completely desperate.

Some Japanese soldiers tried to get up and run back, but as soon as they stood up they were hit by bullets and fell to the ground again.
