After these fighter planes arrived at the battlefield, they did not stop at all and directly fired at the Japanese positions.

The 18th Division, which had no anti-aircraft weapons, could only watch the enemy ravage their positions.

chug chug!

chug chug!

chug chug!

The BF-109F was equipped with two 7.92 mm MG17 machine guns and a centrally mounted 20 mm cannon.

Facing the Japanese infantry positions, they directly opened fire with machine guns.

The Japanese army positions were in panic, and suddenly there were bursts of shrill wails. The Japanese soldiers who were unable to dodge were hit and fell in a pool of blood.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

The Type 92 infantry gun that was still wreaking havoc nearby also suffered.

The 20mm machine gun hit his body and not a single piece of it was intact. It hit the shell and caused a direct explosion.

boom!
The Type 92 infantry gun position exploded instantly.

Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake opened his eyes wide and looked at the fighter planes showing off their might in the sky in disbelief.

Is this a German fighter?

idiot!

The Germans actually sold such advanced fighter jets to the Chinese?
At this time, the Stuka bomber dived from a high altitude, and at the moment of crashing, it suddenly pulled up and dropped bombs at the same time.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Explosions rang out one after another, instantly submerging the entire Japanese position.

"Your Excellency the division commander, I suggest an immediate tactical shift. Without anti-aircraft weapons, we cannot stop the rampage of fighter planes." Colonel Kitayama, commander of the 55th Infantry Regiment, suggested.

It was obvious that they had no means of air defense and could only be bombed.

"Wait a little longer." Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake felt that it was too shameful to retreat like this.

If word gets out that I've just suffered a defeat after taking office, it will affect my future progress.

Just then, the communications officer ran over with a pale face.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the military's communications corps has an urgent order."

"What?" Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake immediately realized that something must have gone wrong, otherwise how could the military send out a communications soldier?

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake shouted immediately.

"The city of Nanning was attacked by heavy artillery of the Chinese army, the military headquarters was attacked, Commander Kuna Seiichi was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Now Lieutenant General Imamura Hitoshi is taking over the command of the 22nd Army." The communications staff officer said with his head down.

This news is so explosive that once it gets out, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.

"Damn it, what's going on? How could the Chinese army know the location of the military headquarters?" Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake asked again.

"Hai, these coordinates are suspected to be revealed by the Germans. The Chinese army dispatched 240mm heavy artillery to directly destroy the military headquarters. The rest of the camps, arsenals and other places were also all destroyed." The communications staff said again.

"Damn, what a bunch of bastards." Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake was naturally insulting the Germans.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Lieutenant General Imamura Hitoshi has ordered the 18th Division to withdraw to Nanning immediately. The Chinese army has already entered the city of Nanning." The communications staff officer said nervously.

When others heard the news, they were also confused.

This is nothing less than, no!

It can even be said that it is far more exciting than the Chinese army owning German fighter planes.

"Your Excellency the division commander, I suggest an immediate tactical shift, targeting Nanning City and rushing to support the military headquarters." The combat staff also followed suit.

"No, we should turn south now." Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake did the opposite, leaving everyone present stunned.

What is this operation?
Instead of rushing to Nanning City’s aid, retreat southward?

Aren't you afraid of going to court-martial?

"How long has it been since the order arrived here from Nanning?" Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake knew the doubts in these people's minds, so he had to explain it clearly, otherwise these people might not necessarily carry out his orders.

The main reason is that I just arrived and haven’t established any prestige yet.

Even though the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, subordinates may not necessarily follow the orders of the headquarters if they disobey the orders of the headquarters as soon as they arrive.

After all, after the war, there will be accountability.

"It's been almost a day. The war horses have long since died, and the messengers have been running to deliver the orders." The communications staff officer looked puzzled, but still answered honestly.

"In just one day, the Chinese army must have already occupied more than half of Nanning City. And didn't you notice why the 76th Division and the 49th Division launched the attack desperately regardless of casualties? They must have received the news that Nanning City was breached, otherwise they wouldn't fight so hard." Lieutenant General Harukichi Momotake squinted his eyes and looked at the Chinese army in the distance, preparing to launch an attack.

"So, even if we support Nanning City now, we have to get rid of the Chinese army behind us. Originally, without Chinese fighter planes, leaving a regiment was enough to block the attack of the Chinese army, but now who can guarantee that we can hold our position under the bombing of the Chinese army's fighter planes?"

Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake's words were well-reasoned and at least no one present could refute them.

In particular, sharp whistling sounds were heard from the sky from time to time, which meant that more Japanese soldiers were killed.

Faced with this kind of scenario, no one can guarantee that they can hold their ground.

Finally, all the officers present looked at each other and responded in unison.

"The division commander is wise."

"Order: Move toward Qinzhou." Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake took a deep breath and immediately gave the order to move.

"Hay."

On this side, Lieutenant General Momotake Harukichi gave the order to move forward, and on the other side, Wang Lingyun seized this opportunity and immediately gave orders.

"Concentrate all mortars and fire at the Japanese positions. Use the infantry as the base, move forward 150 meters, maintain this distance, and use up all the shells. Don't be stingy with the shells. When you are done, the summit will replenish them for us."

The thing he was best at in his life was seizing opportunities.

The moment he saw the fighter planes appear, he believed that something must have gone wrong in Nanning City, otherwise they would not have sent fighter planes to support them.

The goal was to defeat the Japanese 18th Division as quickly as possible so that they could go and reinforce it.

So he must seize the opportunity now, that is, concentrate all artillery shells, under the cover of fighter planes, capture the Japanese positions and open up the passage to Nanning City.

"Ah? Should we wait a little longer?" Li Jing, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but panic when he heard that the other party was playing such a big game.

"No, Brother Jingyi, I don't have your background, so I can only seize every opportunity. This is an opportunity for me. As long as we can get to Nanning City as soon as possible, it will definitely be a great achievement. You and I can both be promoted to the next level." Wang Lingyun shook his head and said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Li Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed with him.

His background is only slightly better than Wang Lingyun's, but he is also a marginal figure in the entire regular army.

If nothing unexpected happens, that's basically the end of my career as a division commander.

So if you want to go further, you have to give it a try.

"Danmu Xu Jin."

Soon, all thirty mortars of the two divisions opened fire.

Mainly 60mm mortars, and a small number of 81mm mortars.

Artillery shells exploded in front, and the infantry charged towards the Japanese positions with guns in hand.

Fighter planes in the sky dived and rose from time to time, and then bursts of explosions were heard.

"Put on the bayonet!" Wang Lingyun's eyes were burning like a ball of fire, and he was full of fighting spirit.

This was not the first time he had led the charge.

So the soldiers had no surprises and immediately followed the order, pulling out their bayonets and snapping them on.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

At this time, the Japanese positions had already been covered by artillery fire.

"Brothers, the time has come to make achievements. Grab your weapons, charge forward, and kill those Japs." After Wang Lingyun said this, he suddenly picked up the big knife and swung it forward.

"Charge! Kill the Japs!" After saying that, he was the first to rush out, leading the way.

Li Jing behind him couldn't stop him and had to stay and take command.

However, he admired Wang Lingyun very much. He was brave and hardworking, and he would definitely have a bright future.

"Kill the devils!"

"Kill."

"Kill the Japanese."

The soldiers following closely behind him also roared.

"Go ahead and kill all the devils."

Viewed from the air, the scene was extremely spectacular when the 76th Division launched a charge towards the Japanese positions.

The fighter planes in the sky seemed to be infected as well, and they dived again, firing wildly at the Japanese positions.

"Kill!" Led by Wang Lingyun, more than 76 soldiers of the th Division rushed towards the Japanese positions like a bursting tide.

The 55th Infantry Regiment was left behind to cover the rear. At this moment, they were facing the powerful firepower of the Chinese Army, mainly the fighter planes in the sky, which were very annoying and kept harassing them. They rushed to wherever the firepower was fierce, which made them very annoyed.

"Colonel, the position can no longer be held. The Chinese are rushing up." A major shouted to Colonel Kita.

"Baga, organize the troops, we must hold on." Colonel Kita came to his senses and shouted immediately.

"Hi." The major drew out his command knife and began to organize troops to resist.

Unfortunately, the 76th Division, with its morale boosted, was like a tiger descending from a mountain, without any fear on their faces.

"Kill." Wang Lingyun rushed into the Japanese position amidst a hail of bullets and chopped down a Japanese soldier with his bare hands.

When he was young, he practiced a few moves with a master who wielded a broadsword.

With more than ten years of military career, he has already mastered the skill of wielding a broadsword.

There is a trick to using a broadsword, and that is to leverage the force.

This is the only way to save as much energy as possible and ensure sustained combat.

After hacking a Japanese soldier to death, Wang Lingyun targeted another Japanese soldier. While the soldier was stunned, he hacked him hard. In front of the soldier's astonished eyes, his gun was broken.

puff!

A human head flew up.

Blood splattered onto Wang Lingyun, staining his military uniform red.

"Kill!" Wang Lingyun's ferocity also greatly stimulated the soldiers behind him.

Seeing that their division commander was so brave, they were not willing to be outdone. They fought with the Japanese army with their lives.

A Japanese soldier was holding a rifle and screaming, trying to find a flaw to see if he could have a chance to kill the Chinese soldier in front of him.

result!

Poof!
The bayonet from behind pierced his chest directly. When the bayonet was pulled back, the Japanese soldier fell in a pool of blood.

His eyes were full of disbelief. A sneak attack?
Why don't you have martial ethics?

"Squad leader." The soldier who was confronting the Japanese army was surprised to see that it was his squad leader.

However, before the squad leader could speak, another angry shout came from behind: "Baga!"

Then, there was the sound of a sharp blade cutting flesh.

"Pfft!"

The Japanese soldier's bayonet pierced the squad leader's chest directly from behind. The squad leader looked at the bayonet stained with blood in pain.

He looked at the soldier in front of him again, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

As soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out. His head tilted and he fell to the ground.

The surviving soldier's mind went blank for a moment, and he stared blankly at everything happening in front of him. The squad leader was actually dead, and he died just to save him.

For a moment, he thought of the days with the squad leader.

"Tiezhu, you are a believer in football, what are you afraid of?"

"Remember, follow me and watch out for the machine guns."

"I was also scared to the point of peeing my pants back then, but you didn't pee your entire pants, which is not bad."

These are the words that the squad leader said to him. At this moment, they are echoing in Tiezhu's mind, and tears are flowing out uncontrollably.

"Monitor."

A roar seemed to vent all the anger in his heart.

"Little devil, I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations."

The Japanese army, who had just successfully launched a sneak attack, was still grinning, but when they saw Tiezhu rushing towards them, a cruel smile appeared on their faces.

But soon, he miscalculated.

Because the opponent was determined to die together with him, he suddenly felt a little timid.

After all, no one wants to die.

"idiot……"

When the bayonet pierced his chest, the Japanese soldier really couldn't understand, was it necessary?

Tiezhu also lay on the ground, spitting blood.

"Sergeant, I will avenge you." After saying this, he closed his eyes and fainted.

This hand-to-hand combat was won with the 49th Division joining in, with the 55th Infantry Regiment being routed.

In this battle, more than a thousand Japanese troops were annihilated, while the 76th Division lost more than people. It can be said that they killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of their own.

If the 49th Division had not joined the battle at the critical moment, it would have been difficult to win the hand-to-hand combat.

"Brother Lingyun, are you okay?" Li Jingyi asked worriedly as he looked at Wang Lingyun, who was covered in blood.

"It's okay. It's all the blood of the Japanese. Their mediocre bayonet fighting skills are not enough for me to cut them down." Wang Lingyun said generously.

Hearing this, Li Jingyi's face was full of admiration. He didn't expect Wang Lingyun to be so fierce.

"Brother Jingyi, leave one regiment to clean up the battlefield, and the other troops should immediately head towards Nanning." Wang Lingyun did not even bother to greet people and immediately ordered the troops to continue advancing.

"Yes." This time Li Jing was convinced and no longer had his previous arrogant look. He immediately reorganized his troops and marched quickly towards Nanning City.

On the other side, the headquarters of the 714th Garrison Regiment.

"Commander, the air force reports that the Japanese 76th Division has retreated southward, and the th Division has occupied Pumiao Town and is currently marching rapidly towards Nanning." The communications staff officer came over with a telegram and reported.

"Report, the Japanese troops in the city are fleeing, Liu Yi asked whether to pursue them."

"Report, the 99th Army reports that the Japanese troops at Gaofengai are retreating southwards, and they are currently in pursuit."

A series of good news brought a long-lost smile to Lu Yuhua's face.

"Congratulations, Lu, you have captured the city of Nanning. From now on, your name will resound throughout the Far East." Colonel William immediately congratulated.

Lu Yuhua was also extremely excited, with a smile on his face the entire time.

"Hahahaha, that's exaggerated, that's exaggerated. I still like to keep a low profile, but this battle was indeed not easy. Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to capture Nanning City so quickly."

Hearing this, William's expression froze, and he wanted to say something, but finally sighed.

In any case, without his command, it would not be so easy to capture Nanning City so quickly.

"In any case, now that you have captured Nanning, it will play a big role in your anti-Japanese war situation. However, if you want to completely drive the Japanese army into the sea, I'm afraid it will take some time. But I can't wait to ship things back." Colonel William said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Colonel William. The Japanese army is now helpless. The only options left for them are to retreat to Qinzhou and then take a boat back, or to retreat directly to Guangdong Province. Of course, they have another way." Lu Yuhua waved his hand to signal him not to worry.

"There's another way? Jump into the sea?" Colonel William rarely made a joke.

"Hahaha, it's not impossible. But those Japanese troops are not fools. They can choose to withdraw to Annan, or directly attack Annan to help you share the pressure from Britain and France. Wouldn't that be better?" Lu Yuhua said with a smile.

Hearing this, Colonel William did not show any emotion, but shook his head instead.

"After this incident, the Japanese army may not ally with us."

If the Japanese army had any backbone, they would definitely not choose to ally with them if they were to directly interfere in battlefield command.

"Not necessarily." Lu Yuhua sneered.

"You don't really think the Japanese army has no interest in Southeast Asia?"

"There are abundant oil and rubber resources there. The Japanese army has been coveting them for a long time. The southward faction within their ranks has gradually gained the upper hand. I believe it won't be long before they move south."

"So, they will eventually ally with you."

Now it was William's turn to be confused, but after thinking about it carefully, this explanation was reliable.

"So, you don't have to worry about what you have done. No matter how unhappy the Japanese army is, they will restrain themselves. At most, they will protest. This protest is nothing to you. If it really doesn't work, you just need to give them some compensation." Lu Yuhua continued.

"So you think they will attack Annan?" Colonel William was no fool and immediately understood what he meant.

"That's right. The great possibility is to attack Annan, which is the French territory. At that time, they will even force the headquarters to form an alliance with you. At that time, won't the initiative be in your hands?" Lu Yuhua said calmly.

"Wait, this is just a possibility." Colonel William suddenly stopped.

"Hehe, if there is a little external force, it might become certain." Lu Yuhua said with a smile.

“I wonder if Colonel William has ever heard the saying, drive away the wolf and devour the tiger.”

"The French army in Annan is now the tiger, a paper tiger, and the Japanese army is the hungry wolf, and I am the hunter. As long as I drive the hungry wolf into the territory of the paper tiger, the Japanese army will find that Britain and France are nothing more than this."

"And in order to relieve the pressure, they must have taken the initiative to seek you out to form an alliance."

Hearing this, Colonel William looked at Lu Yuhua in shock.

Does this person really not understand tactics?

Or was he testing him on purpose?
I finally figured out why my chest hurts. It’s because I’ve been sitting for a long time, with my back hunched, and I’m a bit fat, 160 pounds, so my internal organs are squeezed and my chest hurts. After writing for a while, I have to take a break, otherwise it will hurt, so the update is very slow!
