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

Chapter 51 What a pity, there are only twelve fighter planes!
As the Japanese field artillery positions were destroyed, the 150mm howitzers also began to extend their fire, bombing deep into the Japanese positions.

Along with bursts of screams, Major General Sakurada Takeshi's face suddenly changed.

He knew that the Chinese army on the opposite side would use heavy artillery to wipe out the area.

Now he faces two choices: hold on and wait for the fighter planes to arrive.

Let's see if the situation changes.

The second way is to just ignore everything and retreat.

But if that happened, the reputation of the 1st Guards Brigade would be completely ruined.

Being defeated head-on by an unknown troop unit?
I'm afraid I'll become a laughing stock in the eyes of countless colleagues.

It turns out that the so-called Imperial Guards Division is just this.

Thinking of this, Major General Sakurada Takeshi could only grit his teeth and persevere.

The honor of the Guards Division made him choose to hold on and wait for the arrival of the fighter plane.

"Go and urge them again and ask when the air force will arrive." Major General Sakurada Takeshi shouted with gritted teeth as he watched the front-line positions already engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Now we can only place all our hopes on the air force. As long as they can destroy the enemy's heavy artillery positions, there is still hope.

"Damn it, great bombing, blow these damn Japs to death." At the Shankouxu position, Long Wenjian looked through the telescope at the Japanese position being covered by artillery fire and shouted excitedly.

Lu Yuyan next to him also had an excited look on his face. He originally thought that the Japanese army was just like that, until he led the third battalion to the front line and felt the Japanese artillery bombardment.

Only then did he realize that war was much more cruel than he had imagined.

Looking at the brothers around me, they were talking and laughing one second, and gone the next. The huge contrast would make people with poor psychological endurance collapse on the spot.

In other words, Lu Yuhua reminded the other party more than once that war is very cruel, and if you can't stand it, just get out as soon as possible.

In order to prove that he was not a coward, he endured all kinds of discomfort and slowly began to adapt.

At first, looking at the corpse would make me feel nauseous and vomit.

Now I have gradually become numb and can even eat a few bites of canned food.

Long Wenjian next to him was even more powerful. He sat right next to the corpse, eating canned food and chatting and laughing.

It seems like he was born to fight.

His adaptability is much stronger than his.

"This should be a larger caliber artillery, right?" Although the Wuming Lu family has a good family background, it is limited to direct descendants. It is rare for a collateral branch like Lu Yuyan to become a battalion commander.

In some families, a young man like him might have to herd cattle and sheep for the master.

If the host is kind-hearted and takes in children to study with you, you may be able to get a chance through studying.

More often than not, they can't read a single word and know nothing about weapons and equipment.

Lu Yuyan is one of the smarter members of the side branch. He has seized every opportunity and is where he is today, but his knowledge has not increased much.

It is really a large-caliber heavy artillery, which is very rare.

Even the famous German-equipped division didn't have many.

So it’s normal not to know each other.

"Well, it's far more powerful than a 105mm howitzer, maybe a 150mm heavy howitzer. It's said that one shot can destroy half a football field." Long Wenjian said in an exaggerated tone. Lu Yuyan opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. What half a football field is gone? It's not that exaggerated. The shock wave generated by the explosion can almost kill all enemies within half a football field. If there are shelters to block it, there won't be any big problem." Lu Yuhua came over at the right time and couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Long Wenjian's bragging.

"That's amazing." Lu Yuyan was still a little surprised.

"Commander, where did you get this heavy artillery? Even the Central Army doesn't have so many heavy artillery." Long Wenjian asked curiously.

"Of course it was borrowed from the Germans. I told him that as long as we drive the Japanese troops in Nanning into the sea, his arms can be transported in continuously through Qinzhou Bay, and the profits will be huge." Lu Yuhua made up a reason.

"The profits from arms sales were so huge that these Germans had no choice but to take risks."

This is just to fool Long Wenjian and Lu Yuyan, two people who know nothing. Any expert will never believe his nonsense.

The profits from arms are indeed considerable, but compared with the Germans' ambitions, they are still a little lacking.

"It's really too profitable. Just those few arms cost tens of millions of dollars. It makes me jealous. I can't earn so much money even if I serve as a soldier for a hundred years." Long Wenjian sighed at the right time. He never thought that arms could be so profitable.

"Of course, now that our entire external communication channel has been blocked by the Japanese army, the price of arms is naturally rising. How much did a rifle cost before the war? What is the price now?" Lu Yuhua nodded.

"So if we drive all the Japanese troops out of Nanning, we will be able to monopolize the German arms business. How much profit will that make?"

As a greedy guy in his previous life, Lu Yuhua naturally had to maintain this image, otherwise the huge transformation would definitely arouse other people's suspicion.

As expected, when Lu Yuhua said this, Lu Yuyan completely let down his guard. Well, it was still the same Lu Yuhua, the greedy guy.

"But there are almost tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanning. Can they be driven away?" Long Wenjian asked hesitantly.

"We have to have a goal. We can't just say that the Japanese army is too strong and we should surrender." Lu Yuhua rolled his eyes.

"Even in despair, don't give up hope. Although the Japanese army is strong, we are not weak either."

"They were all equipped with German weapons and heavy artillery. The Japanese were just like that. Facing the heavy artillery, they were blown to pieces by us, right?"

"Look, the Japanese are also human beings. When they are bombed, they will cry for their parents."

After hearing this, Long Wenjian and Lu Yuyan felt that it made sense and they felt a lot more relaxed.

"Commander, the Japanese fighter planes are coming." Liu Yi walked over and reported quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua was not panicked at all. He picked up the telescope and looked at the black shadow that was about to arrive in the distance.

"One, two, three... twelve fighter planes, and they are all from the Naval Aviation Force? Interesting." Lu Yuhua recognized at a glance that these were the Type 96 carrier-based fighter planes of the Japanese Naval Aviation Force.

He did know about the Battle of Southern Guangxi and that the Japanese Naval Aviation Force had fighter planes participating in the battle, but he did not expect to encounter it himself.

The previous two days, the fighter jets were from the Army Aviation, but today they were replaced by the Navy Aviation.

This means that there must have been thorny problems on other battlefields, causing the Army Aviation to be unable to provide reinforcements and have to seek help from the Naval Aviation.

Think of the intrigues between land and sea, and all kinds of dirty things.

Lu Yuhua couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.

What if all the HNA fighter planes were shot down?

Then the land and sea sides will probably have a quarrel.

"What a pity, only twelve planes came. It would be better if there were more." Lu Yuhua felt that the Japanese army was too petty. He had prepared a big net, but only so few fighter planes came?
I really look down on him.
