When it was close to seven o'clock on the morning of August 1st, all the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were ready to launch the general attack.
The cannons in the artillery position were like swords that were pointing at the sky. The black muzzles were ready to devour people. Soon, they would release shells and blow up the Japanese army.
At the city gate, modified jeeps were lined up in an open space in front of the city gate. There were also soldiers waiting behind them. They would charge at the command.
The Japanese soldiers in a small town more than ten kilometers away did not know that they would be counterattacked.
In their opinion, not only had they suffered heavy losses in the past few days, but the Wanping Independent Regiment had also suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, they still had more than 10,000 people. It was basically impossible for the other party to launch a counterattack. Therefore, they only needed to wait here for other forces to break through and attack the Wanping Independent Regiment from the front and back.
Xu Ziqiu had been staring at his watch in the Independent Brigade Command. This watch was exchanged from the system. Lu Jie planned to build a watch production factory in the future and build it into a brand.
Not only watches, but also pens, glasses, cars, and so on. These were all future plans.
The second hand kept ticking. When the needle reached 7 o'clock, Xu Ziqiu ordered,"I order the general attack to begin!"
The order was issued in just a few seconds, and the first to respond was the artillery unit.
The Artillery Regiment had nearly a hundred 105mm cannons and dozens of 170mm howitzers.
"Release!" With a loud roar, the red flag was waved down.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"“!”
The cannons fired at the same time, like thousands of arrows fired at the same time. The entire camp was covered in smoke and dust.
The city gates of Wanping City opened and armored jeeps drove out of Wanping City. Although the Independent Brigade did not have armored vehicles or tanks yet, Lu Jie believed that they would be able to draw one soon.
Moreover, they did not have them now, but after modification, they had these simple armored vehicles. If they were used to attack the Japanese army, they could completely catch them off guard.
The cars drove out one after another, followed by the military transport trucks. This place was more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, and it would only take about half an hour to reach.
This was already the fastest speed they could go. The roads in China were in poor condition, even in Beiping. This was what Lu Jie hated the most. Many things were extremely troublesome because of traffic problems.
After successfully occupying Beiping, the first thing Lu Jie had to do was to build roads. Only then did he truly experience how reasonable the saying was-if you want to get rich, build roads first.
........
There were two camps for the Japanese army, one was the barracks, and the other was the casualty camp. The two sides were not far from each other, only less than a kilometer away.
The current Japanese army camp was extremely bleak. The casualty camp was larger than the camp. The screams of the injured and sick inside stimulated the nerves of many Japanese soldiers.
The entire camp was silent in a gloomy atmosphere. It was breakfast time, and the Japanese soldiers gathered in twos and threes to eat breakfast.
The breakfast of the Japanese army was very simple-rice balls and clear soup. The Japanese army advocated the spirit of hardship, so this was nothing to them.
The Japanese army was really the most bitter army. They did the hardest work, received the least salary, and even sent money to their 'enemies' to build warships.
"Do you think we can go back to Japan to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Tokyo? I miss Xiao Ze!"
The Japanese soldier named Zaotian couldn't help but tear up. He missed his hometown. Now that the 20th division had suffered heavy losses in this battle, they no longer had the arrogance they had when they first came to China.
"If all the soldiers of Huaxia are at this level, then Japan will never be able to turn the tables.“
This was the consensus of the soldiers of the 20th division.
"Wuwuwu!"
"What's that sound?" Zaotian raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw black dots coming in their direction, and they kept making whimpering sounds.
Zaotian's pupils constricted. He threw down the rice ball in his hand and shouted,""Cannon!"
Suddenly, the Japanese army camp exploded. Their reactions were extremely fast, but no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the speed of the cannonballs.
"Boom!"
A cannonball landed a hundred meters away from Zaotian. There was a group of soldiers running there, but they were unlucky. The cannonball happened to explode not far from them, and Zaotian saw how they were blown into pieces.
"Boom!" Another cannonball landed and smashed into a large tent, instantly turning into a huge ball of fire.
This time, Zaotian's luck wasn't good. A shrapnel sliced through his neck, and blood immediately splattered. Zaotian clutched his neck and fell down unwillingly.
P.S. I'm waiting for Monday's recommendation. The word count is a little over the limit, so I'm going to be in the middle of the night every day. I'm sorry, I'll be back!
