I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 739: Still trying to lure the enemy deeper?

Captain Tanashita, accompanied by the jubilant Tanaka Taro, commanded their two battalions in the center.

More than 2,000 Japanese soldiers steadily pressed forward towards the Chinese army's positions.

In their opinion, it was a waste of the imperial artillery's 20 minutes of artillery preparation to deal with the "Tubalu".

In their eyes, after twenty minutes of shelling, there would probably not be many of the three thousand "Tubalu" soldiers left.

They were even afraid that their artillery squadron would overdo it.

If the Eighth Route Army was bombed into the mountains, it would probably not be an easy task for them to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army.

The two men were thinking about good things when they heard a "boom" explosion from the artillery position behind them.

The two men's faces changed instantly, they both heard it from the sound of the artillery shells exploding.

The caliber of the enemy's artillery was at least 75 mm, and twelve guns were firing at the same time.

This shows that the ones fighting them now are not the "Tubalu" troops, but the regular troops of the National Army.

To possess such artillery firepower, it must be at least at the division level.

Tanaka: "Damn it! With such strong firepower, you're still trying to lure the enemy in deep.

The commander of this Chinese army is not a warrior, and his conscience is very bad!"

Tanaka: "Tanaka-kun, it looks like we have been ambushed by the Chinese army.

Now we must retreat immediately and report to the division commander. This group of Kuomintang troops will not be so simple.

The fact that they dared to attack two divisions of the Imperial Army shows that their military strength is at least equal to ours."

Captain Tanaka thought so too, and he also felt that there was something strange about this.

Even if the national army in front of them was prepared in advance and wanted to ambush the Japanese army that came to rescue the county town.

But when they saw more than 40,000 Japanese troops coming, they still dared to come out to stop them. They must be mentally ill.

Therefore, there is only one truth to the matter, that is, this group of national troops was targeting their two divisions.

"Tanashita-kun, we will contact the division commander now and tell them about this discovery."

Tianxia nodded and said, "It may be too late to send a telegram, let's use the walkie-talkie first."

After the discussion, they quickly commanded the two Japanese infantry battalions to retreat.

Unfortunately, it was too late to retreat now, as the artillery shells of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Column of the 6th Division had already begun to fire at the Japanese troops.

Commander Ma watched as a barrage of mortar shells rained down upon the enemy's formation.

Judging from the density of the shell explosions, this regiment must have more than thirty mortars.

"Captain Yun, didn't you say that the artillery directly under the column cannot fire? But the current situation..."

Yun Guichuan: "Brother Ma, you don't know, it's the mortars of the companies in the regiment that are firing.

Their artillery battalion's Type 92 infantry guns and Type 41 mountain guns have not fired yet."

Commander Ma: I believe your large troop group has fought, it’s just a competition of whose artillery firepower is more powerful.

According to what you said, the artillery you have must have more artillery than the Japanese army.

I'm going to have a good look at the heavy firepower of your guerrilla division in a while.

Commander Ma looked inside the command center and saw several black machines placed there.

He asked, “Excuse me, Captain Yun, what kind of machines are these boxes?

It looked to me like a radio, but it was nothing like a radio.”

Yun Guichuan: "This is a signal jammer. If you place it around, the Japanese radio stations will become deaf and blind."

Commander Ma: "You, you, you guys... you really are the main force. You have all these fun stuff that we don't know about."

Yun Guichuan: "Keep a low profile. This secret equipment is still in the confidentiality stage. We can't let outsiders know about it."

The implication of this is, of course, that he told Commander Ma because he regarded him as his own comrade.

At this moment, Commander Ma no longer paid attention to what Yun, Gui and Chuan said.

The only thing left in his mind was what Yun Guichuan said.

Being able to block the enemy radio station's signals on the battlefield, what kind of magical method is this?

Our own ethnic detachment was considered to be the best-equipped among the Eighth Route Army troops in the Hebei Plain area.

But even we don’t have a radio, and troops of other identities now have radio signal jammers?

This situation is too unimaginable. It seems that if I have the chance, I still have to go to northern Shaanxi to study.

The soldiers of the National Detachment, led by the First Battalion Commander Han Mushi, entered the trenches on the side of the First Regiment.

Since he is the battalion commander of the First Battalion like Zhang Dabiao back then, he is naturally a warmonger.

Otherwise, Commander Ma of the National Detachment would not have handed over the most capable battalion to him.

Especially today, they have all been equipped with new guns sent by the Sixth Division, so it is naturally impossible for them to just sit back and wait.

They briefly learned how to use the semi-automatic rifles and followed the regiment into the position.

Originally, the guard Xiao Zheng was sent here to let Captain Han join the battle.

Since Battalion Commander Han had already entered the position, he simply decided not to leave and stayed in the trench with the First Battalion.

He even gave it a nice name, saying that the commander had asked him to supervise the battle.

In fact, all the soldiers in the detachment knew that Xiao Zheng wanted to stay and fight the Japanese, and he was itching to do it.

Since Han Mushi was the battalion commander, he didn't bother to be polite.

Anyway, when he received the guns sent by Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, no comrades from other battalions saw it.

He directly gave all 500 semi-automatic rifles to the soldiers in his own battalion.

The other battalions were given Type 38 rifles captured from the Japanese.

The soldiers from other battalions didn’t know how powerful the Garand semi-automatic was.

I saw that the new guns allocated to my battalion were longer than those of the first battalion commander and his men.

Apart from making fun of the battalion commander's lack of vision, no one delved into his intentions.

But as soon as they started fighting with the Japanese, Xiao Zheng, who stayed behind, was the first to realize something was wrong.

Seeing the Japanese retreating from the front of the position, they went around to the flank to block them and began shooting.

Everyone loaded their guns in advance, but before Xiao Zheng fired one shot, Han Mushi next to him had already fired three shots.

The sound of the Garand semi-automatic rifle was completely different from the Type 38 rifle in Xiao Zheng's hand.

So after Han Mushi fired the three shots, Xiao Zheng immediately heard something wrong.

Captain Han has already fired three shots, but he did not pull the bolt, so how did the bullets get loaded?

Xiao Zheng asked quickly, "Captain Han, can this new rifle in your hand fire continuously?"

Captain Han: "This is a Garand semi-automatic rifle sent by the Sixth Division.

Pulling the bolt once can fire eight bullets in succession.

I still have dozens of them in stock. When the battle is over, bring your guards to me and I will replace your guns."

The two of them were still smiling happily about the "division of the spoils" when the company commander of the 1st column and 1st regiment came running over.

"Everyone is shooting, why are you still aiming? Who has the time to wait for you to aim?

Each of you is given 200 rounds of bullets. Isn’t that enough for you?

With your eight bullets, it will be enough as long as you can kill one Japanese soldier.

This guy, the retreating Japanese soldiers will lose at least 500 people."

The soldiers of these ethnic detachments are used to suffering in their daily lives.

Due to the shortage of weapons and ammunition, they usually only had one bullet to kill an enemy. They had never been as generous as they are today.
