Holding the request message from the 66th division, Chen Tiejun couldn't help but sigh. Ye Zhao was courageous. He dared to believe in the Iron Blood Army and attack with all his might just based on radio communication. Such boldness was rare in the national army!
Since the 66th division dared to trust him, the Iron Blood Army would not let this trust down.
" Order: Artillery Regiment, immediately bombard the farm and forest to clear the obstacles for the 66th Army. He ordered the 4th regiment to stick to the 56th and 114th regiments to reduce the pressure on the national army. He ordered the 2nd Regiment to quickly annihilate the trapped enemies and the entire Regiment to move towards the direction of the lake.”
After issuing multiple orders in a row, Chen Tiejun began to think. He felt that he had not missed anything…" Signal soldier, send a signal to all the regiments. No matter how the battle turns out, you must leave the battle before 12:15.”
Before dawn, the entire army had to return or find a place to hide to avoid being attacked by the Japanese planes.
In the 18th division of the Hushu Regiment, Yoshishima Sadao looked at the vague information that the front army had sent over with a helpless expression. This was because the front army could not be sure that the enemy behind them was the Iron Blood Army.
At night, the reconnaissance plane could not take off, and the ground intelligence personnel did not see it either. It was not accurate to speculate based on the route.
"It might be the Iron Blood Army.”
He threw away the irresponsible information and was about to step on it when the signalman reported,""Your Excellency, the enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack and bombarded our farm and forest. The 55th regiment requests permission to temporarily retreat?”
Fierce attacks, bombarding the front line of the forest, what did the enemy want to do?
There was no time to be angry. Yoshishima Sadao quickly checked the map and was shocked." Is there any movement from the 66th division?"”
"The 55th Regiment has not found any signs of the 66th Regiment attacking.”
Eh, could it be that he was thinking too much?
He shook his head. He believed in his many years of war experience. The enemy's bombardment of the frontline must have had a purpose.
"While ordering the 55th regiment to defend against the cannons, closely monitor the movements of the 66th regiment. If they find any signs of counterattacking, they will resolutely retaliate and deal heavy damage.”
"Order the artillery regiment to bombard the enemy on the flanks and destroy their offensive posture.”
Hearing that the major general wanted to use artillery, the staff officer couldn't help but advise,""Regiment Commander, please think twice. Our artillery fire range is at a disadvantage. If we leak it now, it will be destroyed by the enemy."
"There's no need to say it. Do you think I don't know?”
" The enemy's artillery fire is strong," he said worriedly." Our aerial forces can't provide support at night. What's the point of our army hiding?" It was better to take a gamble. It was good to be able to destroy the enemy's artillery, but even if he could not, he had to ruthlessly attack the enemy's infantry, causing heavy casualties and buying time.”
Alright, seeing the Regiment Commander's resolute attitude, the advisor had no intention of persuading him, so he could only pass on his orders.
..................
When the 66th Division saw the Japanese's position being engulfed by artillery fire, Ye Zhao was overjoyed. He could not help but sigh. The Iron Blood Army had strong artillery, tenacious willpower, and dared to fight the Japanese invaders. Was such a team really just a bandit force?
"Brother Tan, do you think my Cantonese department is rich? But look, the Iron Blood Army's artillery is definitely an existence that our Guangdong army can not compare to. What is the reason?”
Uh, Tan Sui was stumped because he couldn't understand either!
In China, the industry was weak, and the military system was even weaker. Previously, the Northeast Military Factory could still make heavy artillery, but unfortunately, it was occupied by the Japanese. The only place in China that could make heavy artillery was gone.
However, this was exactly what the foreigners were interested in. They kept selling all kinds of weapons in China, but they did not have heavy cannons. They would not sell them even if they had money!
Generalissimo Jiang begged his grandfather and grandmother to get a few heavy artillery regiments in the country, but it was useless. The logistics ammunition could not be supplied at all.
On the other hand, the Iron Blood Army not only had heavy artillery, but they also had cannonballs raining down. How could they explain this?
As the saying goes, once the cannon is fired, there will be ten thousand taels of gold. Where would the Iron Blood Army get a large amount of 'money' to support themselves?
"Commander, the Iron Blood Army is very strange. The source of their equipment has never been known to the outside world. I think there must be a foreign force supporting them. However, what I don't understand is why the foreigners support a small group of bandits.”
Ye Zhao was confused because he couldn't figure it out. He said meaningfully,""No matter what, there's no harm in befriending the Iron Blood Army. Who knows, we might even have to rely on them in the future. Hmm, based on the current development, it was very likely!”
The chat ended here. Ye Zhao saw that it was about time and said,""Don't hide the cannons that the entire army can use. If we don't have to wait now, when will we? He ordered the entire army to attack, except for one regiment.”
The 66th Division had 2 divisions, 4 brigades, and 8 regiments. Excluding the regiment that was defending and the soldiers that had been consumed in the previous battle, there were less than 10,000 soldiers that were sent to attack.
Although the Japanese had less than 10,000 heads, they were facing enemies on both sides. The 66th division was not at a disadvantage.
" Brothers, it's time to kill the devils. Charge!"
The troops of the 66th Division jumped out of their positions and rushed towards the farm and forest where the 55th Regiment was stationed.
With the roaring of artillery and the cover of the night, the Japanese were having a hard time defending.
"Gaba, f * ck, f * ck!"
Faced with the 66th division that had suddenly gone crazy, Omura began to sweat. The 55th regiment's line of defense was too long, and they were in a half-broken state. What was even more despairing was that their position had just been plowed by heavy artillery.
"Report, the flank of the farm has been broken through.”
"Fukuoka Squadron reports that the enemy has charged into the position and is currently engaged in a chaotic battle.”
“....”
Faced with the bad news that kept flying in, Omura drew his sword and hacked at it randomly to vent his anger and panic.
"Send a message to the commander of the Niu Dao division. The enemy's 66th division has suddenly gone crazy and attacked our defensive position.”
The 66th division had been suppressed and passively defended. However, at this moment, they had taken the initiative and gained the upper hand. This was a rare opportunity. Therefore, both the officers and soldiers were full of passion. They did not care about the sacrifices and worked hard to kill the Japanese.
"Kill…"
One of the soldiers stabbed a Japanese soldier with a bayonet, but unfortunately, he was also stabbed by another Japanese soldier. However, he didn't show any pain and instead smiled for the last time.
"Motherf * cker, killing two Japanese is enough!”
With a smile and infinite love, the soldiers of the national army slowly fell down.
The loyal bones were buried everywhere on Green Mountain, so why would they need to be wrapped up in a horse's leather? The soldiers of the small national army well explained the ultimate meaning of this sentence.
The battle continued, and the number of casualties increased. Fortunately, the 66th division had the absolute advantage in numbers, and they were not at a disadvantage in close combat.
" Charge! Surround the Japanese! Hurry!"
This was a rare opportunity, and the 66th division was simply going crazy!
In the command center of the 18th division, Yoshishima Sadao held the distress message from the 55th regiment with a serious expression.
His judgment was correct, and the 66th division took advantage of the situation to counterattack. From this, it could be seen that there was a connection between the two.
He had guessed it, but what should he do now? Originally, they had a good advantage in attacking, but the 66th Chinese Army was forced to retreat. In a few days, they would be able to conquer and go straight to Xixia Mountain.
The change in the situation between the enemy and himself was too fast, so fast that it was hard for Ushijima Sadao to accept it!
