During war, especially in sieges of various sizes, the Japanese liked to suppress the enemy with absolute heavy firepower, causing the majority of the national army to suffer. In addition to the number of troops, the quality of firearms, and the consumption of ammunition, heavy firepower could determine the direction of the battlefield.
Now, Ye Song was using the Japanese's favorite tactic to attack him. The commander of the Japanese 114th Division, Suematsu Shigeji, did not dare to face reality. Unfortunately, this type of heavy weapon was too extravagant for Ye Song. Otherwise, if everyone had a cannon, the Japanese would not be able to play no matter how many people they had.
Ye Song shook his head helplessly. He was amused by his naivety. These four howitzers were the only heavy firepower he had in the system inventory. If he wanted more in the future, he would have to wait for the system reward. As for the anti-air equipment that he had just destroyed, could it be? Ye Song thought of something.
Shigeji Suematsu lowered his head and muttered as if he had lost his soul. The psychological gap between him and the arrogant person in the beginning had turned into a slap in the face after the first wave of contact. After putting away his contempt, Suematsu returned to his arrogant face with the heavy artillery of his own army and the appearance of a large portion of its heavy firepower. In the end, Ye Song had completely destroyed his psychological defense with a wave of heavy punches.
Gu Shoufu, who was beside him, saw his pitiful appearance and was too lazy to mock him. The most important thing now was to order the troops to retreat. In this short period of time, the Central Army's four howitzers bombarded indiscriminately, and the Japanese infantry had already suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
On a battlefield with firearms, having more people was an advantage. However, when facing a large-scale attack, having more people was actually a disadvantage. The densely packed Japanese soldiers crowded together and pushed forward. A single shell would kill many people.
The Central Army's artillery fire was still bombarding the enemy without any restraint. This made Gu Shoufu feel a deep fear of Ye Song. Such a long and powerful artillery bombardment was probably difficult for the Japanese. Sometimes, artillery shells were more difficult to obtain than heavy artillery.
This was also why some of the National Army couldn't do anything even if they seized the spoils of war from the Japanese. However, not only did Ye Song have artillery shells, but he also had a terrifying number of them. Such a large amount of money made people who didn't know the truth speechless and couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of the Central Army! As expected of someone with status and background! How rich!"
This was Xie Chengrui's true feelings. Originally, this was his main battlefield, but in the end, his brothers had contributed the least. Commander Xie had gone from shock to numbness.
Gu Shoufu no longer paid attention to the frightened Gui Zi Mo Song beside him. He immediately called the battlefield commander and ordered,
"Order the troops to retreat immediately. At the same time, send a telegram to the general's headquarters to report the situation of the battle truthfully."
The commander of the Japanese army had long wanted to retreat, but his commander stood there like a fool. Now that a lieutenant general of the Japanese army had given the order, he did not care if Gu Shoufu was his superior or not. He hurriedly gave the order. In any case, there would be someone to take care of anything.
As for Gu Shoufu, if no one came out to take charge of the overall situation, it would be impossible for them to capture Yuhuatai. Not only would they lose the west side, but even the south side of the 114th division would be lost.
As for the supreme commander of the Telegram Devils, it wasn't that he wanted to add insult to injury. He knew the severity of the situation at this juncture. However, Ye Song was no longer something that their two legions could deal with. If they didn't ask for help, they would probably have to leave the two divisions with nearly 45,000 soldiers here. After Gu Shoufu ordered his men to take Mo Song to rest, he turned around and walked into the command center.
Ye Song heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Japanese retreat. He was not as rich as he looked on the surface. In fact, his heart was bleeding. How much of a spendthrift would it take to turn the war into a crushing bombardment? However, the Japanese seemed to be stupid and refused to retreat. Ye Song could only continue to serve them with heavy artillery.
This wasn't to show off the combat strength of his own army, nor was it for a moment of anger. It was to tell everyone a simple truth. The Japanese wanted to invade their own territory, wanted to kill their own people, and brothers in the army. No matter how much I feel sorry for them, I, Ye Song, will teach them a good lesson!
It seemed like the results were pretty good. If Ye Song knew that his actions had scared a Japanese officer silly, he wondered if he would laugh out loud. At the same time, as the Japanese retreated, Ye Song's troops stopped firing and began to clean up the battlefield. This battle was an overwhelming victory. Other than the heavy artillery that caused many casualties to the Central Army, the other losses were negligible.
After the battle ended, he successfully wiped out more than 12000 Japanese soldiers from the 114th Division. He received the system reward of 8000 troops, 3000 M1 rifles, 20000 rounds of Mi rifle bullets, 2000 Mk2 American high-explosive grenades, and 8 anti-aircraft guns. All of them were strong American combat equipment!
