After resting in Wu County for a day, the Sixth Army once again embarked on the journey to protect the country.
With the fall of Shanghai, Wuxi had become a dangerous city. If it wasn't for the Sixth Army bringing a glimmer of hope, the baldy would only put up a symbolic resistance and then give up.
In history, there were only 600 defenders in Wuxi, and there were 240,000 Chinese soldiers around them, but they did not come to support them. All the troops were scared by the pirates, and their elites were all exhausted. They had no choice but to give up a big city.
"Report! A large group of Japanese pirates was discovered eight kilometers northeast. It was estimated to be an exploration team!”
An exploration team had no more than 8,000 people, but the Sixth Army now had 46,000 people. Excluding the new recruits, there were still 34,000 people. With the speed of the military transport vehicles and the luxurious firepower configuration, they could easily engage in a quick battle and leave.
8,000 pirates were a reward that Wang Qiangguo was not willing to give up. As the reward points were still zero, there was not a single item in the reward point store. It seemed that it would only be opened in batches when the reward points reached a certain number.
Although Yang Sen never lacked meat to eat, canned luncheon meat seemed to be especially to his liking. He ate three cans at once and was so full that he vomited in the end. Ever since then, it had been a long time since the soup was clear and dry, but the problem of being stuffy had not disappeared.
In fact, Yang Sen was a true reflection of all the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army. Canned luncheon meat, canned beef, canned mutton, canned fish, canned chicken, canned vegetables, canned fruits…The dazzling array of canned food actually made them not know how to choose. If it wasn't for the fact that they were forced to take only two cans, the soldiers would definitely be so full that they couldn't walk.
In the past, even the treatment of the Central Army was less than 1% of the new Sixth Army. The Central Army could only eat a full meal. It was different now. Not only could he eat his fill, but he could also eat his fill with big fish and meat.
"Brother Wang has provided us with such luxurious equipment and treatment. If I still can't defeat Ququ's exploration team, you don't have to do anything. I'll kill myself.”
"Good! I'll leave the first battle to Brother Yang.”
The enemy in front of them was the 19th Infantry Regiment under the 16th Regiment. They were both participants of the Nanjing Massacre along with the 6th Regiment, and the most insane 100-man slaughter was from the 16th Regiment.
"Report! " We've discovered many scouts in the rear. According to the reconnaissance reports, there's a high chance that they're the remaining elites of China who heavily injured the 6th division!”
"Yuxi, order the entire army to stop advancing and set up a blocking position.”
" Your Excellency, they have severely injured the elite troops of the sixth division. Our exploration team…"
"Baka! We might not be able to defeat them if we attack, but can we not defend them?!”
"Hey!"
The regiment commander, Cao Changchen, had already received the news from the reconnaissance plane. The Chinese army was approaching Wuxi, and according to their route, they might meet.
However, when the reconnaissance plane tried to get closer to scout, it was immediately hit by the anti-aircraft artillery and could not take care of itself. It fled in a hurry, so it did not obtain more detailed information.
Combining the findings from the rear, Cao Changchen could basically conclude that this was the most elite force in China. The 6th division had already crippled them, so as long as they stayed here for about 12 hours, they would be able to surround the nearby allied forces.
At that time, not only would they be able to wash away the humiliation that the 6th division had brought to the locust army, they would also be able to trample the 6th division under their feet. They were both regular divisions, so why was the 6th division praised as the most elite division? Yet, he was still defeated by a division. This title of the most elite should be changed.
"Report, the artillery unit has arrived at the designated location!”
"Report, the mechanized troops have moved behind the enemy.”
Cao Changchen had no idea that the enemy he was facing had already mechanized half a division. In the hour that they had been retreating and building their positions, they had already moved behind them.
"Good! Five minutes later, the Artillery Division One fired at full speed for an hour. Once the firing stopped, all the troops charged at the same time. There was no main attack or secondary attack!”
"Understood!"
In fact, they could afford to spend ten or even a hundred hours bombarding the enemy, let alone an hour. However, there were many enemy troops nearby, so they had to end the battle quickly.
"Prepare the cannon, prepare, fire!”
Whoosh! Boom!
The 19th Brigade enjoyed the same treatment as the national army. They were plowed by the cannons, and the Japanese pirates were obviously in a worse state. The smallest cannon involved in plowing the field was a 75mm field cannon, and more than half of them were 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers. There were 150 of them, and if it wasn't for the lack of artillery, this number could have been doubled.
"Baka! Why aren't our artillery returning fire?”
"They fought back at the first moment, but they were already destroyed.”
"Nani? A bunch of good-for-nothing!"
In fact, this was not the fault of the Japanese artillery unit. They could only gather the number of two battalions. However, how could 24 70mm mountain cannons compete with 150 cannons?
"Brigade Leader, the Chinese have too many heavy cannons!”
After calming down, Cao Changchen could feel the helplessness of the 6th division. The weapons and equipment of the newly formed 6th army were far too powerful. This was simply a war of bullying. At that moment, he suddenly recalled the history of Japan submitting to China for more than a thousand years.
"Sigh... Call Lu Hang's tactical instructor."
"Hey!"
Another half an hour passed, but Lu Hang, whom Cao Changchen had been thinking about, did not come. Instead, he received a reply that made him despair.
"Report! Lu Hang was still preparing for a counterattack and was temporarily unable to provide support.”
In the face of Wang Qiangguo's 88mm anti-air artillery, the biplane fighter became a decoration. Only the Type 96 land attack aircraft could barely compete with it. However, this aircraft had only been installed not long ago, and it had lost a lot before and after the Battle of Shanghai. The Army Airlines really could not take out enough attack aircraft.
"Brother He, it's been almost an hour. Why hasn't it stopped? If we continue to blow up, we can only be a corpse collection team.”
He Jiawang, who had made many military achievements, had been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, and his comrades had also been promoted to the rank of platoon leader.
"You brat, this is a good thing!"
He Jiawang looked at the continuous bombardment in the distance as if he was listening to an opera. He leaned against a tree in intoxication, holding a cigarette in his hand and taking a puff from time to time.
He Jiawang thanked Wang Qiangguo from the bottom of his heart. Ever since Wang Qiangguo came, he no longer needed to use the old Hanyang gun to kill the Japanese. Instead, he could use the excellent Kar98K gun to kill. The benefits and benefits were also increasing. There were fish and meat, cigarettes and money, and the military paid more attention to military achievements.
"Damn it, it's been a whole hour, why haven't they stopped firing? Are the Chinese people so weak that they don't dare to charge?”
Through the binoculars, he saw the terrified and helpless soldiers lying in the trenches. Cao Changchen knew that if they were to continue being bombarded like this, the morale of the Locust Army would drop to the freezing point.
It was a pity that he was born in Japan and was born with limited resources and limited knowledge. He did not expect that an hour of bombardment was the minimum standard. In the future wars, Wang Qiangguo's army would often bombard for days and nights, or even weeks and months.
"Report! The artillery fire had stopped, and the enemy was approaching!”
"Yuxi, the Chinese people have finally come to die.”
"Boom! Boom!"
The front line could not be bombed, but it did not mean that the artillery could rest. The endless ammunition was still waiting to be squandered. They might as well extend the bombardment and carry out blind attacks to see if they could win the lottery.
P.S.
It's National Day, get high!
