Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

The front-line command post of the New 1st Regiment Independent Battalion.

Chu Yunfei gave orders using a high-power walkie-talkie that could transmit 15 kilometers.

"Artillery Group No. 1 and Artillery Group No. 2 concentrate their fire and attack their first line of defense."

"That's right, you can't see the impact point. It's a depression there."

"Heavy mortar battalion, extend the fire and bomb its forward command post."

"Get Qian Bojun to me immediately!"

"Is the tank battalion ready?"

"Attack immediately as soon as the artillery fire stops. This isn't a feint. I want to capture three of the enemy's forward positions within half an hour!"

"Leave the subsequent attack to the tank battalion, and the infantry battalion should provide cover!"

After hanging up the call, Chu Yunfei looked around with a haughty look, full of heroic spirit and great ambition.

Only in division-level combat like this could he bring out the tactical level of the fifth class of Whampoa Military Academy.

It feels great to fight the Japanese with good weapons.

The artillery fire from more than 300 cannons directly stunned the Japanese front-line positions. The difference between the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the New st Regiment Independent Battalion was like the difference between a flintlock rifle and a fully automatic assault rifle.

"Report to the regiment commander, the tank battalion is ready and can enter the battlefield at any time."

Fang Ligong answered from the side, looking excited.

Judging from today's battle, the New 1st Regiment Independent Battalion already has the strength to fight against the Japanese Type B Division, and its firepower is even greater.

If the independent battalion has more than 3 troops, its combat effectiveness is likely to exceed that of the Japanese Type A division.

Although the individual soldier quality is not as good as that of the Japanese Type A Division, the weapons and equipment can make up for the shortcomings, and even the overall strength is far superior.

Moreover, individual soldier qualities require the accumulation of both training and actual combat.

The Japanese have strong industrial strength. In addition, they have been training since childhood, with plenty of food, sufficient training ammunition, and brainwashing with Bushido. Many of them are professional soldiers, which is why the Japanese have such strong individual soldier qualities.

The Japanese had been preparing for this invasion for decades.

China has been in internal strife for decades. Since the fall of the Qing government, warlords have been fighting each other endlessly.

The devils are stepping up the development of industry, training soldiers, manufacturing high-powered weapons, and preparing for a war of aggression.

But China is in the midst of internal strife, how could it possibly defeat the Japanese army?
Although many people became traitors and surrendered to the Japanese, fortunately the people were unprecedentedly united.

With the support of patriots like Boss Lin, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese are driven out of China, and even a counterattack on the Japanese mainland is not impossible.

Moreover, Fang Ligong was also very clear that the individual soldier's quality would improve as more battles were won and more veterans and elite soldiers were produced.

In contrast, the more battles the Japanese lost, the more veteran elite soldiers were consumed, and the weaker the individual soldier's quality became.

Sooner or later, the Eighth Route Army will surpass the Japanese army in both individual soldier quality and overall firepower.

By that time, perhaps it will be time to counterattack the Japanese mainland!

“Ding ding ding!!”

The phone rang, Fang Ligong walked quickly to the phone and picked it up:
"Hello, this is the independent brigade's front-line headquarters!"

"What did you say?"

"Okay, I'll report to the captain right away."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ligong walked over to Chu Yunfei and Political Commissar Luo with a happy expression and reported:

"Captain, Political Commissar Luo, Chief of Staff Zhang just called and said the Sharp Sword Squadron has destroyed the Japanese 26th Division Headquarters, killed its commander, Lieutenant General Hou Gongjun, and successfully retreated. The headquarters has ordered us to launch a general offensive as soon as possible."

"Great! The Sword Squadron is truly amazing."

Chu Yunfei was both surprised and happy. He was surprised by the speed at which the Sword Squadron beheaded the division headquarters, and he was happy that they killed the commander of the 26th Division and retreated smoothly.

"It's really awesome."

Fang Ligong's tone was also filled with shock. Taking the head of an enemy general among thousands of soldiers was not something that an ordinary army could do.

If ordinary soldiers were thrown into the middle of the Japanese, they would probably be frightened, but the Sharp Sword Squadron was able to decapitate the Japanese division headquarters, which required extraordinary courage. Moreover, Chu Yunfei knew that although the Sharp Sword Squadron took only a dozen minutes to destroy the Japanese division headquarters.

but.

The preliminary preparations must not have been easy, otherwise it would not have taken so long to destroy the Japanese division headquarters.

Political Commissar Luo on the side smiled slightly. He knew that the strength of the New 1st Regiment's special forces was far more than that. They had infiltrated the important military town of Shimen City twice to carry out decapitation missions. Not only did they kill two lieutenant generals and eliminate a large number of Japanese devils, they also escaped unscathed.

At this moment, the artillery fire gradually subsided, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery groups ended their second bombardment of the Japanese front-line positions.

"Give me the order."

"All troops, immediately launch a full-scale attack."

"Infantry Battalion and the Third Tank Battalion, push forward!"

Chu Yunfei gave the order with a stern expression.

The 26th Division Headquarters was destroyed, and the opposing Japanese army lost its commander-in-chief. Each unit could only fall into a chaotic situation of fighting on its own. This was the perfect time to completely defeat the Japanese 26th Division.

"Yes." Fang Ligong straightened his body, turned around and quickly conveyed the order.

As the order from the independent battalion headquarters was issued, the three main infantry battalions and tank battalion of the independent battalion launched a general attack on the Japanese.

This opportunity to inflict pain on the European devils made Sun Ming, who was standing by, extremely envious. He was responsible for protecting the safety of the brigade headquarters and had few opportunities to go to the battlefield.

"After this battle, I will also serve as the commander of the main infantry battalion..."

Sun Ming looked at the crimson light produced by the explosion in the distance and muttered to himself.

Frontline battlefield.

The battalions of the independent battalion rushed to the Japanese front-line positions like a tide.

In the rear, the mortar units continuously fired flares to provide the attacking forces with ample vision. Some remaining Japanese soldiers crawled out of the mud to resist, but were quickly eliminated.

According to the Japanese plan, after the Eighth Route Army rushed to the front line, the two mountain artillery regiments in the rear would immediately cover the Japanese front line with artillery fire, and then send infantry to retake the front line. The battle would be very brutal with repeated battles.

But before the order was given, the Sword Squadron directly wiped out the Japanese division headquarters, and the two mountain artillery regiments did not receive any orders.

Many Japanese troops, unaware that the division headquarters had been destroyed, kept calling the division headquarters by telephone and radio.

After capturing the Japanese front-line positions, the infantry battalions immediately attacked the deep positions without waiting for the tank units to arrive.

When the Japanese soldiers in the deep positions saw the Eighth Route Army infantry attacking, they immediately opened fire with various light and heavy machine guns.

When the Second Battalion of the Independent Battalion was attacking the second hill, it was crazily strafed by the Japanese machine guns and the troops retreated like a tide. Just as Lin Zhiqiang was preparing to organize another attack, the artillery observer who was attacking with the infantry was already using a walkie-talkie to call for artillery fire support from the rear.

"Ruler...left...up..."

After two test shots, the third shell hit the second Japanese position, and the artillery observer immediately called on the entire heavy mortar battalion to open fire.

Boom boom boom...

Shells continued to fall, accompanied by shock waves and crimson fireballs. The Japanese bunkers and fortifications were directly blown into a series of earth pits, and the Japanese firepower points were destroyed one by one under the coverage of artillery fire.

The New 1st Regiment Heavy Mortar Battalion was one of the earliest artillery battalions formed, and its strength is unquestionable.

After ten minutes of shelling, at least a thousand 120mm heavy mortar shells fell on the Japanese positions and exploded.

"attack!"

Lin Zhiqiang immediately gave the order to attack.

"kill!"

The troops of the second battalion surged onto the second line of the Japanese army like a tide, strangling the remaining Japanese army like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"It's a pleasure to fight the Japanese with good weapons."

Within an hour, the Second Battalion successively captured two Japanese hilltop positions and killed thousands of Japanese soldiers. Lin Zhiqiang said with emotion.

"Perhaps in the future, there will be a chance to counterattack Japan's homeland..."

Thinking of the promises made by Regiment Commander Li Yunlong to win over the 358th Regiment to the New First Regiment, Lin Zhiqiang's eyes grew more determined, and he set a lifelong goal for himself: Horseback Riding on Cherry Blossoms. (End of this chapter)
