With the Japanese's character, how could they stop after they had knocked their heads out in the four-row warehouse? Impossible!
The 18th division's major general, Yoshishima Sadao, was very angry. His division had just returned to China, and in less than two days, a regiment had been crippled. Although there was a reason for this, he could not accept it.
He wanted to retaliate immediately, but was persuaded by his chief of staff. He said that the enemy's defense was strong and the area was narrow. They could not deploy more troops, so they had to ask for aviation or heavy artillery support.
From a soldier to a general, and having experienced the Russo-Japanese War, Ushijima Sadao lived up to his reputation. He was just angry for a moment!
The distress telegram sent to the dispatched army was quickly answered, but the content made Ushijima Sadao feel deeply malevolent.
The general meaning of the dispatch headquarters was: A few days ago, many countries jointly issued a document to the headquarters, demanding that the absolute safety of the personnel of other countries in China be guaranteed. The war must not enter the foreign concessions, or else many countries would not rule out the possibility of sending troops to interfere! Our Empire of Japan has been plotting against China for decades. We will never allow other countries to get involved.
The target that your department requested is backed by the concession. The air force can't drop bombs, and the heavy artillery can't guarantee the accuracy, so it's not approved. In order to ensure the attack, the headquarters has decided to give support to a tank squadron and a chariot squadron.
Finally, for the sake of the Empire's Holy War and the eternal revival of the Empire, I hope that you can overcome the difficulties and take down Shanghai as soon as possible, and then attack the capital of China, Nanjing.
The Battle of Songhu would affect the hearts of the people every day. It was now early October, and the national army had fully entered a defensive state. The Japanese army had the absolute initiative.
After a quiet day in the four-row warehouse, the Japanese appeared again near noon the next day.
"Commander, look, there seems to be a high-ranking Japanese official opposite.”
"A high-ranking official? Let me see!"
Liu Zhiguo took the binoculars and took a look. Yes, it really was a big fish, Lieutenant General.
Faced with 100,000 points, Liu Zhiguo's mind started to become active. What should he do? It was such a rare opportunity. If he didn't do something about it, it wouldn't make sense!
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to give it a try. Even if he did not succeed, he would not suffer any losses. But what if he succeeded?
"Zhu Zi, go find a few brothers who know how to make cannons. Bring two mortars upstairs and let's mess with him!”
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say this. I'll do it immediately.”
Zhu Zi left obediently.
Liu Zhiguo picked up his binoculars again and looked at Ushijima Sadao, who was also observing the situation in the warehouse. He couldn't help but sneer."Damn it, coming to such a front to observe, who else would I attack if not you?”
Whether or not they succeeded in bombarding the Regiment Commander, it would definitely cause the entire Regiment to go crazy for revenge. However, the situation was different now. Liu Zhiguo could not wait for the Japanese to go crazy so that he could reap a better harvest!
A few minutes later, Zhu Zi brought the people and cannons that were prepared and went upstairs with Liu Guozhi.
As they were afraid of being discovered by the Japanese, they did not dare to set up the mortars too close.
After a few repeated measurements, the shooting elements were marked and everything was ready. They were just waiting for Liu Zhiguo's order.
"Brothers, remember this. Return immediately after firing two shots. Don't stop. Fire!”
"Peng peng…"
The Japanese were all experienced in battle, so it was impossible for them not to hear the sound of artillery shells. Therefore, Yoshishima Sadao and Chief of Staff Oshima Nobuta were immediately pounced on by many people to protect them.
"Boom! Boom!"
The cannonball's landing point deviated slightly, but it still caused a bloody rain!
............
In the warehouse, Liu Zhiguo shook his head with regret.""It's a pity that the quality of the artillery is still not up to standard. They didn't manage to kill that old devil, Yoshishima Sadao, and will have to let him live for a while.”
"However, it wasn't a loss this time. Killing a colonel and a major wasn't a waste!”
Liu Zhiguo was happy, but the other side was furious, especially the disfigured Yoshishima Sadao. He immediately ordered his troops to attack and vowed to chop the entire Iron Blood Army into pieces!
"Creak!"
In the warehouse, Liu Zhiguo smiled when he saw the Japanese sending out their tanks and armored troops. He had been waiting for you for a long time!
"Prepare the anti-aircraft artillery team. Fire when you aim. Don't put the Japanese tanks too close.”
Back then, Liu Zhiguo had put in a lot of effort, especially to solve the problem of the anti-aircraft gun being used horizontally in the warehouse. He had consumed a considerable amount of brain cells just for this moment!
In fact, now that he thought about it, it was really unnecessary. The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-war cannons could deal with the Japanese's 'thin-skinned, big-stuffed' tanks. There was really no need to spend so much effort on the anti-aircraft guns.
"Creak, creak, creak…"
The Japanese tanks began to form up and split into four groups. Each tank was followed by a squad of soldiers, and behind the tanks were a large number of infantry. From the looks of it, they were going to take down the four rows of warehouses in one go.
When the Japanese tank was 500 meters away, before the cannon could fire, two flames flashed from the warehouse and two iron balls flew over.
One of them accurately drilled into a tank, and with a boom, the tank turned into a torch.
The shell missed the tank and crashed into a house 2,000 miles away.
The firing frequency of the anti-aircraft guns was very fast, up to 15 shots per minute. Before the little ghost could react, the four tanks in the front were destroyed one after another. None of the soldiers inside survived, and they were all roasted pigs!
"Baka, reverse the car, reverse the car in a straight line. The Chinese have powerful anti-tank weapons. Hurry up..."
The attacking troops that were still valiant and spirited just a moment ago were immediately thrown into chaos. The infantrymen behind the tanks were even more unlucky. More than ten of them were crushed to death. It was simply an international joke!
On the other side of the river, countless people cheered. They were worried that the Iron Blood Army would not be able to resist the iron box. Now that they saw that the Iron Blood Army was prepared, they were worried for nothing.
At the rear of the Japanese army, Ushijima Sadao only had a scratch, but it was no longer a problem after being bandaged.
"Baka, this is an insult to the generals of the empire. I swear I will kill them all!"
Just as Ushijima Sadao was spouting nonsense, the signal soldier reported,""Major General, the enemy has powerful anti-armor weapons. Four of our tanks were destroyed in an instant, and the remaining tanks are returning to the original route.”
"Nani, what did you say?"
The signalman was frightened by the murderous look in his eyes. He took a step back and said,"Commander, the enemy has powerful anti-tank weapons. Four of our tank squadrons were destroyed in an instant. The rest don't dare to advance and are returning."
Seeing Niu Dao draw his sword and walk towards him, the soldier panicked. He retreated and begged for mercy,"Regiment Commander, please calm down. I'm just a signal soldier, I didn't do anything wrong!”
"Clang!"
The command saber bestowed by the Emperor fell with a crisp sound.
