The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1581 Osaka Division: "Unfamiliar comrades-in-arms have turned into blazing pounds!"

On the chaotic battlefield, the 16th Division was instantly stunned by the intense artillery fire.

After activating the full map view, Zhang Cheng turned to Yan Shuangying and said, "Yan Shuangying, take note: First Battalion and Krieg will launch a frontal assault; Second and Third Battalions will advance along Lianshan and intercept from the rear; Fourth Battalion plus two companies will launch a flanking attack."

Just as Zhang Cheng finished explaining the tactical deployment, Yan Shuangying blinked and asked, "What did you just say?"

Opening his cold eyes, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "With such a bad memory, how can you be an adjutant!"

"I've got it. Say it again!"

After Shen Qiuxia finished explaining Zhang Cheng's plan, she immediately turned and left.
With wide eyes, Yan Shuangying asked, somewhat bewildered, "What should I do?"

"You take a company and guard the artillery battalion. Tell them that unless they run out of ammunition and the howitzers explode, they should keep bombarding. I will notify them of the data points as soon as possible!"

After glancing at Yan Shuangying, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

"Yes! Danzuo!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Yan Shuangying turned and left.
Rubbing his head helplessly, Zhang Cheng smoked a cigarette and said, "Luckily, there are only a little over 10,000 people now. If there were more, the deployment would be a complete mess!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for counterattack!"

Just as the barrage of artillery fire subsided, the 16th Division displayed remarkable resilience, beginning to construct fortifications on the spot.
However, after Krieg's arrival, their long minion wave became a weakness.

Seeing Krieg charging relentlessly, even before their defensive lines were properly set up, they had already surged forward.
Moreover, the 7th Regiment's artillery fire seemed to have eyes, targeting their weak points, which caused the 16th Division to collapse completely as soon as the battle began.

The 16th Division commander roared at the telegram, "Baka! Are your reconnaissance teams a bunch of pigs? You haven't even located the enemy's heavy artillery positions yet?"

"Division Commander, we've tried our best, but it's simply impossible!"

He spoke with aggrieved expression, and the Japanese soldier in charge of reconnaissance also looked utterly devastated.
Because they had no idea that the artillery fire was coming from twenty kilometers away, right at the limit of their range.

However, just as the Japanese scouts were about to continue their exploration, they ran into the Second and Third Battalions, who were attacking from an angle.
Upon meeting, the two sides reacted as if they were sworn enemies, their eyes blazing with hatred. They immediately began exchanging friendly greetings.
Under the suppressive fire of submachine guns, the Japanese scouts were quickly riddled with bullets.

Completely unaware of the annihilation of his reconnaissance squadron, the commander of the 16th Division was still waiting for the signal to counterattack.
After a night of fierce fighting, the 16th Division fled at the cost of 5,000 men.
Looking at the Japanese troops abandoning their comrades all over the mountains, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint and say, "Useless, they can't even hold out as long as the 33rd Division."

33rd Division: Then let me ask you, did you give me any room to escape? Then let me ask you...
After retreating a hundred miles, the 16th Division finally stopped. The battle the previous night had been too sudden, and the defeat too swift; they simply couldn't believe that this was the strength of those "scumbags."
After counting the number of people, the division commander of the 16th Division was so angry he almost committed seppuku.

Because the original division of 18,000 men has dwindled to less than 8,000, meaning it has lost nearly half its strength.
Although they underestimated their opponent, they shouldn't have lost so quickly.
But just as the 16th Division commander was reporting to his superiors, Zhang Cheng also began tallying up the casualties.

Because many defeated and wounded soldiers were regrouped after the start of the Burma campaign, his forces not only did not decrease but actually increased.

Bangkok, the 4th Division headquarters
When the Osaka Division, which was happily conducting business, received the order to be transferred to the front lines, the entire division was stunned.

They barely escaped from the Battle of Changsha, why should they go back to war?
However, when they saw the battle report that the 33rd Division had been annihilated and the 16th Division had almost been wiped out, cold sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads.

Because something's wrong with this seventh group, something's extremely wrong.

"Division Commander, are we really going to fight? I feel like we're going to die!"

The adjutant questioned the division commander, a look of fear on his face.
Because it was their keen intuition that saved them from being wiped out several times, if they rush in now, wouldn't that be suicide?

"Damn it, headquarters has called. What can I do? Even if everyone is seriously ill, I have to go!"

The division commander of the Osaka Division roared angrily. Upon hearing the commander's words, his adjutant immediately said, "Well, how about we contact the general of the 7th Regiment? Maybe we can cooperate."

Upon hearing the adjutant's words, everyone's faces lit up with excitement as they exclaimed, "Yosh! As expected of Kuraki-kun, he's really smart!"

The 7th Regiment advanced at a very rapid pace.
However, just as Zhang Cheng was about to arrive at the battlefield set up by the 16th Division, he received an urgent telegram.

When he saw the 4th Division rushing from Bangkok, he was stunned and stood there, wondering if the 4th Division had gone mad.

He had tried twice to get rid of these "small vendors" back home, but failed. Now, they've actually come to him of their own accord!
However, just as Zhang Cheng was squinting, pondering how to quickly wipe out the 16th Division, and casually delivering a blow to the Osaka Division, Shen Qiuxia ran over and said, "Zhang Cheng, look at this! A telegram from the Osaka Division!"

"How many times have I told you? We're weighing plants when we're working. Why do you keep saying 'wait'? Whose telegram is this?"

Upon seeing Shen Qiuxia, Zhang Cheng froze on the spot.
"The Osaka Division?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with annoyance, Shen Qiuxia's lips twitched.
She couldn't understand how the Fourth Division could possibly be communicating with the "enemy."
Picking up the telegram, Zhang Cheng stared at the respectful address and the contents, completely stunned.

"Snapped!"

Slapping his thigh, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Damn, that's more like it! I was wondering why the Osaka Division was acting like they were courting death. So that's what happened!"

"hiss!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with annoyance, Shen Qiuxia moved his large hand away and said, "Why are you slapping your own leg, you bastard!"

"They're all thighs, no difference, no difference!"

With a chuckle, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth, puffing on a cigar, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Call the Osaka Division and tell them that if they can transfer the Sixth Division from the Pacific theater to Burma, I'm willing to give them three million pounds."

Three million pounds? Do you have that much money?

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Shen Qiuxia was taken aback.

"Can't I just double-cross someone?"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Shen Qiuxia with disdain, wondering how she could be so clueless!
During the forced march, when the high command of the Osaka Division received the reply, they were instantly stunned.

Three million pounds, how much money is that?
You know, they haven't made a million pounds in all these years of arms dealing!

Is it true that you can earn three million just by betraying your allies?
"Tell him that the Sixth Division is our Osaka Division's sworn brother, our dearest family and friends."

With a grave expression, the division commander became serious.
"Division Commander, three million? Calm down! If the subordinates find out, we'll be killed!"

Seeing the division commander say this, many officers began to offer their advice.

"You idiots, what do you know? That's precisely why we need to pay extra!"

Looking at everyone, the division commander crossed his arms and said, "Yosh, unfamiliar comrades have turned into hot pounds!"

Staring in shock at the division commander, many officers exclaimed with wide eyes, "Si Guoyi! Division Commander!"

6th Division: You can tolerate me participating in battle drills, but now you're not even doing them anymore?

Osaka Division: Brothers and sisters, dear friends and family, pay a deposit first, then add more money!
