The 16th Regiment's position was quickly turned into a sieve. The assault troops easily tore through their defense line. Sasaki, who was chasing ducks, could not command them at all. The overwhelming requests for tactical guidance almost flooded the temporary headquarters.
"Trash! This bunch of trash! Can't even last a night?!!”
Sasaki slammed the telegrams on the table. He probably wouldn't even be able to sit on his position as the temporary Regiment Commander, and he would become the scapegoat for the destruction of the 16th Regiment.
Jinling Headquarters…
"Report! The 6th army had already destroyed the 16th division's encirclement and destroyed most of them.”
"What? How was this battle fought? However, the battle had only been going on for four hours. How could they possibly wipe out the entire Sixteenth Regiment? Even if there were 30,000 pigs, it was impossible to catch them so quickly!”
He Yingqin thought that he had already understood the Sixth Army from the perspective of all German equipment, but now it seemed that he had underestimated them. Even though the 16th Division had lost an exploration team of more than 8,000 people, Matsui Ishine had already used the reserve forces to make up for it. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for them to not last for more than four hours.
If it was a conventional assault, it might be true. However, Wang Qiangguo was not prepared to fight the assault in the early stages of World War II. He used the artillery bombardment tactic in the later stages of the United States.
First, they used the absolute advantage of artillery to blast the Japanese pirates into confusion, then used the powerful machine guns and AK-47s to suppress them in one go. The Japanese pirates, who had been bombed for two weeks and had their fighting will dropped to the freezing point, were naturally stunned by this sudden and fierce firepower.
"Order the troops to speed up. After breaking through, the Sixth Army will definitely cause great trouble for the pirates. In addition, he called the Sixth Army in the name of the principal and ordered them to turn to Suzhou and cooperate with the local troops to attack the enemy near Suzhou from both front and back.”
"Yes!"
Shanghai Dispatching Army Headquarters…
"Sixteenth Regiment! The Sixteenth Regiment!"
It was clearly an elite A-class division, but in the face of the 6th army, they had turned into a bunch of pigs. The defensive position of more than 20,000 people was pierced through in less than four hours. The remaining troops were surrounded and were about to be wiped out.
"Let... him... They... Let's go!"
Matsui Ishigane gradually calmed down after hearing Iizomori's remonstrance. After judging the situation, he had no choice but to squeeze out this order word by word through gritted teeth.
They had already besieged the 6th Army for half a month, and just as their plan was about to succeed, it was all for naught because of the incompetence of a single division.
What was even more unacceptable to Matsui Ishigane was that the headquarters had repeatedly ordered him to destroy the sheep army first, and then destroy the sixth army in one go.
From the perspective of national strategy, the command given by the headquarters was not wrong. Even though they knew that the sixth army had very advanced weapons and equipment, they were only one army. As the saying goes, it was difficult to support a single tree. The huge China would not be overturned by a single army.
However, destroying the Zhongyang Army and taking Jinling was different. This was China's legitimate army, and its destruction would greatly reduce the will of the Chinese to resist. It would be a strategic victory for the country.
It was a pity that the main camp was still too confident. If they had experienced the despair of the 6th and 16th divisions, they definitely wouldn't have issued such an order that would lead to the destruction of the Wei Empire.
The battlefield…
" Long live His Majesty Tian Huang!"
" Long live!!!"
"Fight!"
"Clang! The frame clang! Thump! Thump! Dong!"
The newly formed Second Army of the Sixth Army was assigned to the defensive task. They were very aggrieved and could only turn their complaints into bullets and pour them on the Japanese pirates.
The offensive mission was handled by the new First Army, which was under the jurisdiction of the 133rd, 134th, and 135th divisions of the Sichuan Army. The other three defense missions were handed over to the new Second Army, which was under the jurisdiction of the 170th, 171st, and 172nd divisions.
Using a division to defend against a division of the pirates was already giving them a lot of face, because they did not have artillery and aviation support, while the new 2nd Army had a large number of artillery and F86 fighter jets that could be called at any time.
Boom! Boom!
A different gunshot rang out. It did not attract much attention on the fierce battlefield, but the soldiers who knew about it were happy. They looked around to see which pirate commander had been killed.
At a high point not far behind the camp, there was a group of snipers from the special forces. Although they were all arrogant and did not allow the soldiers to touch their weapons and equipment, it was difficult for them to even look at them. Their strength was really amazing.
The hit rate of moving targets within 1,000 meters was 20%. There was also a chance to kill targets within 1,000 meters. This was a terrifying sniping range and hit rate.
Because in World War II, two armies would only come into contact when they were about 500 meters away, and the snipers of the special forces were twice as far away. At this time, the commander of the Japanese pirates in charge of leading the charge was basically unprepared. It was very likely that after one shot, the charge that the Japanese pirates had painstakingly prepared would be gone.
The 3rd division headquarters…
"The enemy has at least ten thousand people blocking our division. There aren't many troops that can attack the 16th division.”
Fujita Jin did not realize that he had changed the way he addressed the Sixth Army from Chinese to enemy. Subconsciously, he had already regarded the Sixth Army as an equal enemy.
Advanced attack aircraft, a large number of cannons, and a rumored light machine gun. If it wasn't for Fujita Shin's belief that the Japanese had better quality soldiers, he would have ordered a retreat.
"Report! The cavalry exploration team requests to fight again!"
"Tell them to either dismount and become infantry or shut up!”
Fujita Shin was already very frustrated, and the 4th Cavalry Regiment's repeated requests for battle had almost exploded the gunpowder keg. This group of cavalrymen was able to do whatever they wanted in China because the Chinese army did not have enough machine guns. However, they were facing the Sixth Army, which had light machine guns in their hands. If the cavalrymen charged forward, they would be courting death.
The Sixth Army Headquarters…
Ding! Congratulations to user for inflicting heavy damage to the 16th division. Current mission progress: 1/4
Ding! Congratulations to user for killing over 20000 Japanese pirates. Reward: 40000 points.
"The 16th Regiment is basically finished. It would be good enough if a few thousand people managed to escape.”
"It's just a major general who ran away. It's nothing. Aren't there three lieutenant generals here?”
"Brother Wang, do you want to devour the three A-grade Regiments?!”
Understanding Wang Qiangguo's meaning, everyone's breathing became heavy. On the one hand, he was excited. Destroying four Jia divisions in one go, what kind of achievement was this? On the one hand, they were nervous. With the strength of a single army, could they annihilate the remaining 3 A Regiments?
"Brother Wang, it is better to break one finger than to hurt ten. We can consider taking down the 3rd or 13th division, which is closest to the 1st army, and end the battle quickly with an absolute advantage.”
"Sure, but we can try to surround the reinforcements. We will first destroy most of the 3rd division's resistance, then surround them without attacking, leaving a chance for us to survive. At that time, Matsui Ishigen will definitely send reinforcements at all costs, and our division will be able to take the initiative to defend instead of attacking.”
Wang Qiangguo, who had intermediate commanding abilities and advanced military theories from his previous life, could barely participate in commanding. Using the opportunity of surrounding and annihilating three elite divisions, he proposed a classic strategy of surrounding but not attacking, only attacking the reinforcements.
