The successive failures of the 78th regiment and the aviation unit had left a huge shadow in Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke's heart. If it was in the past, he would not have sent such a telegram at all. He would have ordered his troops to charge forward and tear the enemy apart.
"Regiment Commander, are we just going to wait these few days?”Chief of Staff Nakagawa asked hesitantly.
"If we just wait like this, the headquarters will definitely be dissatisfied. If the news gets back to the headquarters, it will be very disadvantageous to you.”
Lieutenant General Yoshika smiled and said," Nakagawa-kun, don't worry. I've already ordered the 130th Brigade to be formed independently. They'll immediately attack when they arrive tomorrow. This way, not only will the headquarters be at ease, but we can also test the combat strength of the other side.”
"Hai, Regiment Commander is indeed far-sighted.”Nakagawa Hirosaka quickly flattered.
" Hahaha…" Lieutenant General Yoshika laughed.
The next day, the independent mixed 130th Brigade arrived at the camp as promised. As soon as they arrived, Major General Tugu Naojiro, the commander of the 130th Brigade, immediately sent out a brigade to attack the camp of the 1st Brigade.
"Baka, when did the Chinese army have such powerful combat strength? They could actually fight evenly with the imperial army?”Major General Naojiro said in shock.
Initially, he didn't believe the battle report from the command center. Now that they were fighting, he could see that the Chinese army was not weaker than them at all. In fact, they were even stronger than them in some aspects.
For example, his field artillery unit was being suppressed, unable to form an effective counterattack.
"Brigade Leader, the Chinese army is only relying on their advanced weapons. If we don't have a large number of automatic firearms, we can easily take on four or five of them.”The chief of staff said unwillingly.
Major General Naojiro nodded in agreement, but he still ordered,""Tell the First Brigade to withdraw."
The Japanese chief of staff asked in confusion,""Sir Brigade Leader, why is this? The troops have just started attacking."
Major General Naojiro said with a look of understanding,""My purpose is to test the enemy's combat strength so that I can provide Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke with data on the combat strength of the Chinese army.”
"Hai, this subordinate understands." The chief of staff quickly lowered his head and replied.
At this moment, the roar of a plane came from the sky. The Japanese chief of staff looked up and said strangely,"Nani? When did the headquarters send fighter jets to help? I don't think we called for aerial support.”
However, Major General Naojiro's face turned pale and he said in horror,"Baka, those are the Chinese people's planes. Quickly hide the troops and prepare for air defense.”
The Empire's Second Aerial Regiment had just been heavily injured and had lost a lieutenant. At this moment, they were unable to send reinforcements at all. It was simply impossible for them to come and help.
As expected, as soon as Major General Tugu Naojiro finished speaking, a series of explosions came from his position. When he looked at the location of the explosion, his face instantly turned pale as he muttered,
"Baka, Baka, the field artillery unit is gone.”
This was his trump card unit. He had wanted to rely on the artillery to break through the enemy's position, but who knew that as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he would be suppressed by the enemy's artillery and then bombarded by the fighter jets. He was instantly crippled.
It was still Guo Le's 1st Squadron. There were three versions of the FF-110. One was a fighter version, another was a fighter bomber version, and the last was a night fighter version.
When he learned that the main force of the Japanese had arrived at the border of Chare, Guo Le requested to carry out a bombing mission to relieve the pressure on the front line.
It couldn't be helped, as all the factories were carrying them at full capacity, especially the front line, which had a particularly high demand for ammunition. Therefore, the production of fighter jets was slightly delayed, and Guo Le's 1st Squadron could only temporarily overload the flight.
When they reached the sky above the first group, Guo Le found that the battle below was in full swing. Guo Le circled around twice and found the Japanese artillery position. He dived and accelerated, and the mounted aerial bombs were thrown down. Not long after, a violent explosion sounded, and a field artillery unit was destroyed.
After throwing the 2,000 kilograms of aerial bombs, Guo Le looked at the fuel gauge and saw that there was still half of the fuel left. He was still unwilling to retreat. He immediately piloted the plane and began to fire machine guns at the Japanese in the position.
In the frontline command center of the ground regiment, Zhao Menghai saw this opportunity and made a prompt decision. He formed an assault team and immediately attacked the Japanese camp.
Caught off guard, Major General Naojiro could only command his troops to retreat as they fought. They retreated for 30 kilometers before stabilizing their position. After counting the number of people, Major General Naojiro immediately cried.
In just a few hours, they had lost more than 1,500 people, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the exploration team.
" Baka, baka, baka... Damn you, I'm going to kill you..."
