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

Chapter 45 Call back: Everything is normal!
"Baga, baga, baga, why are there still so many Chinese troops?" Looking at a squadron with only a few dozen people left escaping, Major General Sakurada Takeshi roared in helplessness and anger again.

This time, even Prince Kitashirakawa, a member of the royal family, did not dare to speak and could only wait for the other party to finish his anger.

But he was also a little confused. Why did the bombing of fighter planes and artillery shelling still fail to cause the Chinese army on the opposite side to collapse?

If the enemy was a central army like the Fifth Army, he could still understand it.

After all, it is normal that they have high-quality soldiers, good weapons and equipment, and excellent officers so they can confront the Japanese army head-on.

But what is in front of us?
They are just a bunch of ragtag troops.

When did a group of ragtag troops possess such powerful combat capability?
You have to know that they are the First Guards Brigade.

The most elite troops of the Japanese army.

As a result, the offensive was blocked here.

Originally they planned the seven-day Binyang Operation.

Now that we have been delayed for two days, it is impossible to complete the plan according to the remaining distance.

No wonder Major General Sakurada Takeshi was furious.

If the combat mission is not completed as planned and instead casualties are suffered, the entire Guards Division will lose face.

Even Takeshi Sakurada's future will be completely ruined.

This was the real reason why he was furious.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, should we ask the 18th Division? See what the battle situation is like over there?" Prince Kitashirakawa asked in a low voice as he looked at Takeshi Sakurada who had calmed down.

Hearing this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi glared, but at this moment he didn't care about the royal family.

Your own future is more important.

"Do you want the 18th Division to laugh at us? Watch us make a fool of ourselves?" Major General Sakurada Takeshi said coldly.

Should I tell the other party?

I'm making no progress?

Instead, they suffered heavy casualties.

Almost an entire brigade was gone.

If I tell this to others, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off.

The mighty Imperial Guards Division is actually unable to defeat a group of ragtag troops?

If the headquarters knew about this, he would probably commit suicide.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, I just want to prove one thing, that is, whether the German equipment this time is really the inventory purchased in advance by the arms dealers. If so, when the enemy's ammunition is exhausted, that will be their demise. But if the situation faced by the 18th Division is also the same, then we have to evaluate how much ammunition the enemy has stockpiled."

"Perhaps, our seven-day Binyang offensive may need to be modified." Prince Kitashirakawa said with a stiff face.

He knew that if he couldn't explain it clearly, he would probably be scolded.

Hearing this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi pondered for a while and felt that what he said made sense.

If this situation only occurs on his side, then it is a small-scale situation. If the same situation occurs in the 18th Division as well, then it is a large-scale situation. Such a large-scale purchase of weapons is easy to detect.

Thinking of this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi praised.

"Yoshi, you are right. Contact the 18th Division immediately and ask them about the battle situation and whether they are taking up the position southeast of Gantang as agreed."

"Hay."

………Outside Luancheng County, at the headquarters of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi looked at the dilapidated Luancheng County and felt happy.

"I heard that the commander of the 49th Division on the opposite side, Li Jingyi, is from the Huangpu Military Academy." Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi asked with a smile.

"Hai, you are right. The enemy graduated from the second artillery class of the Whampoa Military Academy and the seventh special class of the Army University." The combat staff naturally knew the commander of the opposing troops and immediately told him everything.

"Yo, I didn't expect it to be the Central Army. It's a pity that it doesn't live up to its reputation. At the latest, they will be able to completely take over Luancheng County tomorrow, and then they can go straight to Gantang." Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi retracted his gaze and then looked disdainful.

I originally thought this would be a tough battle, but who knew it was not as difficult as I imagined.

"What's the battle situation of the 1st Guards Brigade? Have they captured Gan Tang?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi asked, as if he had thought of something.

"Hai, we haven't received any battle reports from the 1st Guards Brigade yet." The communications staff officer stood up and shook his head.

At this moment, one of the radio stations began to emit a red light, and the telegraph operator immediately picked up the headset and began to receive the signal.

After a while, the telegram was recorded, and the communications staff picked up the code book and began to decipher it.

Soon, the telegram was deciphered. Looking at the content of the telegram, the communications staff was a little surprised, but still quickly handed the telegram over.

"Your Excellency, this is a telegram from the First Guards Brigade."

"What's the matter?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi did not answer the call, but asked instead.

"They asked us whether the war was going well and whether we encountered any troubles. They also asked whether there were any strange weapons, such as German equipment." The communications staff officer was also confused, but still told the contents of the telegram.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi was bewildered.

What does it mean?
When did the First Guards Brigade become so kind?
You have to know that because he has the title of royal guard, he looks at people as if he is the best in the world.

I didn't take them seriously, so it's really strange that they are asking about it now.

"Could it be that something happened over there? So they want to find out the details of the situation on our side?" Chief of Staff Colonel General Seo guessed.

"Impossible. They are the Imperial Guards Division. Even if they only have two regiments, they are equipped with a heavy artillery battalion. Their firepower is no weaker than ours. What problem can go wrong?" Lieutenant General Kuna Seiichi shook his head.

"Call back and tell them that everything is fine on our side. We can take Luancheng by tomorrow at the latest and completely wipe out the 49th Division."

"Hay."

In Luancheng County, at the 49th Division Headquarters, Li Jingyi looked at the casualty report with a worried look on his face.

Although his division is in the central army sequence, it is not the most loyal of the loyal.

The combat effectiveness is not that strong, and the personnel and equipment can only be described as average, slightly better than the average ragtag army.

But facing the battle-hardened 18th Division, they still found it a bit overwhelming.

After a day and a half of fighting, his troops suffered losses of up to 30%, and most of the remaining troops were injured.

"Commander, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold our position by tomorrow at the latest." The regiment commander who came to report was also wearing a bandage. The Japanese artillery fire was too fierce and most of the officers were killed by the shells.

"Okay, I know. Tell the brothers to keep holding on." Although Li Jingyi graduated from the artillery department, he is now powerless. Without artillery, he can only watch the Japanese artillery fire ravage them.

"Master, how about we retreat first? The brothers really can't hold on any longer."

"Asshole, do you know what you are talking about? You want to be shot for retreating in the face of danger?" Li Jing shouted angrily.

"But without reinforcements, our entire division will be wiped out."

"I understand. I will ask for help from the Binyang Command." Li Jingyi was silent for a while and then spoke again.
