I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 637: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain () Military Reporter Liu Yanzi

It’s a pity that it’s too late now. Even if Commander Xie could see through it, they were a group of fake Japanese devils.

There was no time to notify the commander of the regiment and ask him to retreat back to the trenches.

Commander Xie loudly gave the order, "Smoke bombs, quickly go to the commander of the first regiment and fire smoke bombs to cover the battlefield."

The smoke bombs fired by their division's artillery have already been fired.

Commander Xie could only hope that the regiment commander would understand what he meant, retreat immediately and keep a safe distance from the enemy.

We also hope that the firing of smoke bombs will make it difficult for the Japanese to distinguish between the enemy and us, and thus they will give up the attack.

But what Commander Xie could not have imagined was that he was not facing an enemy army, but a group of non-human beasts.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the firing of the Japanese Type 90, 75mm field gun, the entire battlefield was bombed devastatingly.

Many people, whether from the Imperial Army or the National Army, were blown into the air and then fell heavily to the ground.

The commander of the Imperial Army, Fatty Wu, finally understood his fate at this time.

He was deceived by the Japanese, he was deceived by that Ono Erpi.

He knew that his subordinates were there to serve as cannon fodder for the Imperial Army.

In fact, as soon as Ono Erpi's request was made, his mind was as clear as a mirror.

He knows everything and understands everything.

Isn't it just about sacrificing their Imperial Army and luring the National Army soldiers out of the trenches? He understands this.

Fatty Wu is a die-hard traitor who can even sell out his own country.

Betraying a few brothers in the Imperial Army is not a big deal.

What he didn't expect was that this time he actually betrayed himself completely.

Not only did he betray his brothers, but he himself was also implicated.

Fatty Wu turned around and glanced in the direction of the Japanese artillery position, and only had time to shout.

"Xiao Ye Erpi, I'm going to fuck your ancestors..."

As a shell exploded beside him, Fatty Wu's body was shattered into pieces and flew into the sky.

Twenty minutes later, the shelling gradually stopped.

Commander Xie shouted with a pale face: "Release the smoke bombs quickly, and the engineers who won will go down and rescue people quickly."

At this moment, the sound of an engine was heard again in the distance.

Commander Xie understood that the Japanese army was not giving him any chance to rescue the wounded.

They drove the tanks up, one purpose being to launch a quick attack.

Another thing is that they were planning to use tanks to run over the martyrs in order to undermine the morale of the national army.

“Swoosh, whoosh… Boom! Boom!”

Commander Xie saw two artillery shells with tail flames heading straight for the Japanese tanks two hundred meters away.

Then there was a loud explosion, and the Japanese tanks were destroyed by this kind of shells.

The Japanese heavy machine guns immediately fired at the location where the shells were fired.

Four gunners wearing Gansu Army uniforms were immediately knocked to the ground by the Japanese heavy machine guns.

However, these gunners from Gannan were not afraid of life or death. They fired rockets at the Japanese tanks without hesitation.

One, two... until the fifth tank was destroyed by a rocket.

The Japanese armored battalion was forced to withdraw to its original position.

Hayata Chih-hsien had seen it all, and his mouth was screaming "what a pity".

Just a few hundred meters away, their armored battalion could approach the regiment's position. The empire's foundation is still not enough.

If he could dispatch two armored battalions at any time, today's defense line would be broken.

Ono finally saw the strange weapon that the soldiers of the Yoshitani Division talked about, which could attack tanks.

It was indeed powerful. With one rocket launch, the Empire's Type 94 tank was turned into a bonfire.

This should be the latest anti-tank weapon of the Chinese army.

His background was still too poor, he was just a low-ranking officer of the empire.

Although I was assigned to be by Yoshio Shinozuka's side for a long time, my horizons were broadened through the documents I came into contact with.

However, his knowledge is still incomparable to those division commanders who graduated from higher military academies.

As for the empire's military development, he was completely in the dark.

Therefore, he was still deeply wary of some of the advanced weapons of the 207th Division.

Oh, it would be nice to get back a sample of this weapon.

But the 207th Division was clearly not prepared to give them this opportunity.

They would rather blow up both the people and the rocket launchers than let such a weapon fall into the hands of the Imperial Army soldiers.

Well, to be honest, if we didn’t want to completely wipe out the 200,000 Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain.

In any case, he was not willing to deal with hawks like Xie Jinfang in the national army.

“General Hayata, has our Empire’s military industry already been developing this kind of highly effective anti-tank weapon?

After all, the opponents we will encounter in the future may very well be the Russians in the north.

Or the modern armies of Britain, the United States and other countries in the south."

Hayata looked around to see if there was anyone else around, then gave the answer with a look of disdain.

"They are a bunch of fools who only believe in the personal bravery of soldiers.

I would rather develop a stinger mine that would destroy both my soldiers and the enemy's tanks than develop any new weapon."

After hearing this, Ono also felt deeply powerless. This was not something he could solve.

When the chief of staff saw that the Japanese had finally retreated, he immediately sent someone down with gasoline and firewood.

As bonfires were lit one after another, the front of the Guishepo position was completely obscured by smoke.

Now the chief of staff of the 207th Division felt relieved and allowed his men to continue rescuing the wounded.

Tomohisa Hayata waited for the burning firewood to go out, then gave the order to begin the eighth attack of the day.

According to Ono, he wanted to see the endurance of the 207th Division on the opposite side.

When it was completely dark, Ono Erpi finally came to a conclusion.

That is Xie Jinfang's 207th Division on the opposite side. There is no standard answer to their ability to withstand the test.

"Don't be weak when facing the weak, and become stronger when facing the strong!

This Xie Jinfang and his 207th Division will eventually become one of the empire's greatest rivals."

Today's battle is finally over. On this day alone, the Japanese launched thirteen point attacks.

The 207th Division of our army destroyed a large regiment of 5,000 people.

The Japanese did not fare any better, losing an infantry regiment and a regiment of the Imperial Army.

A regiment commander prepared a trench explosive pack for the Japanese.

The Japanese tricked a regiment out of the trenches and returned several hundred artillery shells to the regiment commander.

It is obvious that both sides have done something tricky to the other.

Neither of them gained any advantage over the other.

Zhongtiao Mountain Diary: It is now 10:00 p.m. on the 9th.

Starting from noon today, the Japanese suddenly launched ten consecutive attacks.

Under the heavy artillery attack of the Japanese, the First Regiment of the Second Brigade suffered more than 90% casualties.

The Japanese army on the opposite side also lost a regiment of soldiers.

The officers of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 207th Division fulfilled their oath to live and die with their position and fought to the death.

The surviving officers led all the lightly wounded soldiers who were still able to move on the battlefield to raise their bayonets.

After they launched a counterattack against the attacking Japanese, all of them were killed in the end!

The Second Regiment of the Second Brigade was ordered to enter the Guishepo position to replace the guard.

Everywhere they looked, except for more than 300 seriously injured soldiers who could not walk, the rest had died for their country!

The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 207th Division were all so angry that they burst into tears...
