Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Xinzhuang is an unremarkable little village about 20 kilometers southeast of Datong.

Because of the war, the local people have long since fled to the deep mountains and forests to avoid the chaos.

It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a human in troubled times. In times of war, human life is worthless. War is truly unbearable for ordinary people.

At this time, Wei Heshang, the battalion commander of the 7th Battalion of the New 7st Regiment, arrived here with part of the th Battalion and a tank company.

Today, Monk Wei's military tactical command level is comparable to that of Li Yunlong during the Eighth Route Army period in the original drama.

In addition, Monk Wei's individual combat capability is now several levels stronger than in the original drama, and his cultural level is considered intellectual in the army.

Monk Wei has his own way of training, and the warriors he trains are all unruly, brave and aggressive.

Wei Dayong, who was a scout and served as the captain of the Blade Commando, smelled danger the moment he arrived in Xinzhuang.

The road to Datong passes through the left side of Xinzhuang, and there are brick and stone artillery towers built by the Japanese on both sides of the village.

There are endless plains all around. If he were a member of the Japanese blocking force, he would definitely do something in Xinzhuang.

"Don't go into the village, in case the Japanese have buried explosives in the village."

"Scout cavalry conduct reconnaissance in front, on the left and rear sides."

"The infantry, using tanks as cover, deployed defensive lines on the left, right, and front, awaiting instructions from regimental headquarters."

Wei Dayong made quick arrangements.

Now they are 3 kilometers away from the vanguard of the main force.

If they were surrounded and cut off by the Japanese, they would be in danger.

Not long after, the scout cavalry reported to Wei Dayong via walkie-talkie:
"Report to the battalion commander, Japanese tanks have been spotted ahead, and Japanese cavalry units have been spotted on the left and right sides. The strength is at least one cavalry regiment and one tank regiment."

Those who come are not kind and those who are kind will not come.

Wei Dayong understood in an instant that the Japanese were coming to destroy their vanguard troops, but he smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Battalion Commander, the Japs are attacking us, how can you still laugh?"

A soldier asked Monk Wei.

Monk Wei glared and said, "You don't understand, when the Japanese attack our Seventh Battalion, it's our turn to eat meat."

Then he shouted loudly: "Pass on my order, prepare for battle!"

At the same time, Monk Wei adjusted his deployment and transferred part of the troops to the back of the village to prevent the Japanese from getting around and stabbing him in the back.

When the Japanese encirclement was about to be formed, a circular defense circle of the Seventh Battalion was quickly formed.

"Damn Japs... call for artillery support from those artillery uncles and give the Japs some iron broth." Monk Wei was not at all panicked. He grinned and gave orders to the artillery observer.

The artillery observer is the eyes of the artillery. In order to prevent the artillery observer from being killed, he let the artillery observer hide under the tank.

"Weijia Village is calling Wangzhuang, Weijia Village is calling Wangzhuang..."

The artillery observer picked up the walkie-talkie and called.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese artillery shells fell, but this was a preliminary test fire and did not hit the position of the Seventh Battalion.

The second gun fired a preliminary shot, approaching the position of the Seventh Battalion, and the third gun landed on the position of the Seventh Battalion.

Then the Japanese artillery fire arrived as expected. A mountain artillery regiment opened fire at full power, and shells continued to fall on the position of the Seventh Battalion.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army artillery also opened fire, and the 105 howitzer battalion and the 152 howitzer battalion fired at the Japanese cavalry and tank units around the positions.

"Boom boom boom!!"

A series of huge explosions rose up in the formations of the Japanese cavalry and tank troops, and the Japanese cavalry were immediately thrown to the ground.

"Baga, why is the firepower of the Eighth Route Army so strong?"

At the 7th Tank Regiment headquarters, Takao Maeda was furious.

His tank unit suffered heavy losses. Even if the Eighth Route Army artillery shells did not hit the tanks, the shrapnel that bounced from the impact points more than ten or twenty meters away from the tanks could penetrate the tanks and damage their tracks.

He originally thought that it would take the Eighth Route Army's artillery unit at least ten minutes to set up the guns and open fire.

After ten minutes of shelling, the Eighth Route Army infantry and tank units in Xinzhuang must have suffered heavy losses, or at least most of them were killed or wounded.

Then, the locust army's tanks and cavalry rushed forward to harvest the corn.

However, Colonel Maeda never expected that the Eighth Route Army's artillery units were already prepared.

"Is Li Yunlong so amazing?" "He actually prepared two heavy artillery-level artillery support for the Xinzhuang troops!"

At this moment, Takao Maeda really wanted to curse.

He raised his telescope and glanced in the direction of the 13th Cavalry Regiment. He saw a military horse hit by a heavy artillery shell, and the area turned directly into a blood-red fog.

The battle situation at this time was that the Japanese mountain artillery regiment was covering the Eighth Route Army in Xinzhuang with artillery fire.

The two heavy artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army provided artillery coverage to the Japanese cavalry and tank units.

The artillery on both sides were happily attacking the opposing infantry, cavalry and tank units.

but,

The firepower of the two heavy artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army is naturally far greater than that of the Guizishan Artillery Regiment.

Although the Seventh Battalion, the vanguard of the New First Regiment, suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese suffered even greater casualties in this short period of time.

"Baga, notify the artillery regiment to stop firing, and the cavalry and tanks to charge and destroy the enemy."

Colonel Takao Maeda could no longer bear the casualties, so he chose to attack or retreat.

After only a few minutes of shelling, the 7th Tank Regiment suffered one-third casualties and suffered heavy tank losses.

If the bombardment continued, the Eighth Route Army in Xinzhuang opposite would be destroyed, and the Japanese 7th Tank Regiment and Cavalry Regiment would also suffer heavy losses.

The two sides seized the weapons at close range, and the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery units would certainly not dare to continue firing.

"Hi."

The Japanese staff officer quickly went to convey the order.

As Maeda Takao gave the order, the Japanese tank regiment deployed its formation and began to attack.

"Attack and let the enemy experience the might of the Locust Army's tank wing."

The captains of each Japanese tank squadron gave orders.

Behind each tank, there were more than ten or twenty Japanese infantrymen. These were the Japanese troops of the tank regiment, and they were well-trained in infantry-tank coordination tactics.

"Battalion Commander, are you okay? The Japs are attacking!"

The Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, and a company commander shouted to Wei Dayong.

"The devils who can kill me haven't been born yet."

Monk Wei crawled out of the dirt, shook off the mud on his body, and looked as fierce as a hungry wolf:
"Get ready to fight. Hit me hard."

The moment the Japanese tanks and cavalry appeared, Monk Wei knew that the battle was inevitable, and even if he ran away, he would be caught up by the Japanese.

Since we can't escape, we can only fight the Japanese, delay their large forces from coming up, form a larger encirclement around Xinzhuang, and give the Japanese a chance to attack from the center.

The two sides soon engaged in close combat. The Japanese cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, attacking from the left and right wings.

At this time, the artillery on both sides stopped firing. If they fired at this distance, they would accidentally injure their own people.

However, the artillery of both sides did not stop and launched long-range artillery attacks on each other's artillery positions to suppress the artillery fire.

However, neither side knew the location of the other's artillery positions and could only fire according to the approximate position, and the artillery effect was very poor.

The Japanese 7th Tank Regiment attacked from the front, but was hit head-on by three M4 tanks. The Japanese Type 4 tanks could not break the defense of the M4 tanks at all, and the M tanks could blow up the Type tanks with just one shot, and at the same time blow up the Japanese infantry following behind the tanks. Not to mention the smaller Type tanks, which were blown up one by one like firecrackers.

In just a few minutes, seven or eight Japanese tanks were blown up, and then the fuel and shells exploded, and even the Japanese tank soldiers could not escape.

"idiot!"

When Maeda Takao saw this scene through the telescope, his back teeth were almost broken.

"waste!"

Maeda Takao immediately angrily contacted Colonel Yuo Nishizawa, commander of the 13th Cavalry Regiment, via radio.

"Xize-kun, why don't you send out your cavalry suicide squad to destroy the Eighth Route Army tanks with Molotov cocktails? What are you waiting for?"

Nishizawa Yuxiong retorted: "Maeda-kun, are you teaching me how to fight?"

"Baga, you're a piece of trash..."

Maeda Takao was speechless and could only curse angrily. (End of this chapter)
