"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, Regiment Commander's telegram!”
On Phoenix Ridge, Yu Yang was smoking a cigarette. After hearing the soldier's words, he immediately moved his body."Bring it over."
After reading the contents of the telegram, Yu Yang immediately smiled.""Brothers, the regiment commander has ordered us to beat up this group of Japanese soldiers. The regiment commander wants the Japanese soldiers '21st Brigade to stay in Phoenix Ridge forever!”
"If anyone embarrasses me, don't blame me for dealing with you when you go back! Sentinel, report the distance to the Japanese!"
At this moment, the soldier in charge of observing began to report the distance of the Japanese.
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are 500 meters away!”
"Put it closer!"
"Yes, sir!"
At the foot of the hill, a large number of Japanese soldiers in yellow military uniforms were getting closer and closer to the main position of Phoenix Ridge.
"400 meters!"
"Continue to put in a little more!"
At this time, Yu Yang had already gotten up.
The first thing he saw was that the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not even drag the mountain cannon out of the car and were ready to fight him.
They were looking down on the 1st Battalion.
"Inform the artillery battalion to blow up all the Japanese artillery below except for the Howitzer 105. Let the Japanese know what carpet bombing is!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Battalion Commander, 300 meters!"
"I'll report again after 100 meters!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Yang kept observing the Japanese below.
The more he observed, the more confident he was. With his own regiment, he could directly take down this entire regiment of devils.
They were really looking down on people. One regiment and two infantry battalions attacked Phoenix Ridge.
The remaining two infantry battalions and one artillery battalion were still gathered together. At this time, a few shells could kill a lot of people.
Any commander with a normal brain would not make such a stupid decision.
On the other side, Ding Wei stared at the Phoenix Ridge's camp and could not help but feel a little nervous.
"Why aren't they attacking? The Japanese are already close to 100 meters away!”
"Yeah, a distance of 100 meters. This distance is the most accurate for the Japanese to shoot, and they can enter the camp with a charge!”
"Looks like the commander of the 357th Regiment is still too inexperienced. With such good weapons and equipment, they should have attacked when they were about 200 meters away. Tell our brothers to be prepared. If the 357th Regiment's battle is not going well, they should immediately send reinforcements.”
Ding Wei said with a smile.
"Battalion Commander, we're 100 meters away!”
When he heard that the Japanese were already 100 meters away, Yu Yang immediately stood up and shouted,"Beat him up ruthlessly!"
Following Yu Yang's order.
The deathly silent 357th Regiment suddenly came alive.
Light and heavy machine guns tore apart his disguise.
Soldiers climbed up from the trenches and aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were attacking below.
"Da da da…"
"Da da da…"
"Da da da…"
More than ten heavy machine guns opened fire almost at the same time.
In an instant, more than a dozen bullet chains formed a dense fire net. The metal barrage of bullets began to harvest the names of the Japanese like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
The Japanese soldiers who had already reached about 100 meters away from Phoenix Ridge thought that they would be able to take down the enemy's position with a single charge.
However, their names were being reaped like wheat.
Groups of Japanese soldiers fell before they could react.
At this moment, the soldiers of the First Battalion on Phoenix Ridge opened fire almost simultaneously.
Every soldier pulled the trigger of the M1 Garand Rifle as fast as they could.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
“……”
In order to save resources, the Japanese soldiers trained their shooting accuracy continuously. Under the advantage of this weapon's firing speed, it became useless.
The Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to shoot before they fell one by one.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of the 1,000 Japanese soldiers from the two infantry brigades had fallen.
The remaining devils had already begun to retreat in a panic.
At the foot of Phoenix Ridge, Yoshino Nakahei's hands were trembling as he looked through the binoculars.
Just now, he didn't think much of it, thinking that the enemy would be taken down by his charge.
When the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalion successfully got within 200 meters of the enemy's position, Yoshino Nakahei even thought that the enemy had abandoned their position and fled.
When he was only 100 meters away from the position of the 357th Regiment of Phoenix Ridge, Yoshino Nakahei smiled.
Because of this distance, he only needed to charge for 10 seconds before his soldiers could charge into the camp. As long as they charged into the camp, the defenders would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
However, before his smile disappeared...
A series of gunshots came from Phoenix Ridge.
The soldiers under his command on the mountaintop fell into a pool of blood one after another.
"Baka, prepare the artillery and flatten Phoenix Ridge!”
Yoshino Nakahei's eyes were already red.
Because of his command error, at least hundreds of Empire warriors had lost their lives!
As the Japanese soldiers of the Yoshino Regiment were preparing to drag down all the cannons hanging on the back of the vehicles, at the artillery position of the first battalion on Phoenix Ridge.
"Lock onto Zhu Yuan!"
"Lock onto Zhu Yuan!"
“……”
" Cannon 1 is ready!"
"Second cannon ready!"
“……”
"Release!"
The messenger waved the flag in his hand.
Twenty-four 75mm howitzers opened fire first.
Yu Zhiqian's 357th Regiment had a cannon battalion. There were two heavy artillery companies in the cannon battalion, each with eight 105mm howitzers.
There were eight more doors than Li Yunlong's independent regiment.
Apart from that, there were also 24 75mm mountain cannons.
The entire artillery battalion had a total of 40 cannons of various calibers.
Their firepower was even more ferocious than the Japanese troops. Even the heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese might not have such firepower.
The firepower of the artillery battalion was transferred to Phoenix Ridge.
The first to fire were twenty-four 75mm howitzers, which were aimed at the Yoshino Regiment below Phoenix Ridge for the first round of fire coverage.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
On Phoenix Ridge, as the howitzers continued to fire, the sound of the artillery bombardment hit Yoshino Nakahei's heart like a heavy hammer.
Yoshino Nakahei heard the sound of artillery fire coming from afar and instinctively felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, a shrill sound of air being torn came from above.
It was the sound of a falling shell.
"Cannon! Evade!"
Yoshino Nakahei shouted, but it was too late.
The artillery shells landed on the place where the Yoshino Regiment was gathered at the foot of Phoenix Ridge.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded out as a shell directly hit an ammunition transport vehicle of the Yoshino Regiment.
The ammunition truck was instantly detonated.
A huge ball of fire exploded and devoured everything in the surroundings.
This was only the prelude to the bombardment.
The artillery shells continued to rain down on the Yoshino Regiment.
"Release!"
"Release!"
"Release!"
“……”
On the first battalion on Phoenix Ridge.
The messenger kept waving the flag in his hand.
The reloading hand quickly loaded the shell into the barrel. After the artillery locked onto the elements, they immediately pulled the bolt.
The rapid firing did not conserve ammunition at all. The frequency of one round every ten seconds was constantly bombarding the Yoshino Regiment.
"Boom!"
Another explosion sounded, and the shell landed in a crowded area of the Yoshino United team.
After the explosion, a crater was created. The 20 - 30 Japanese soldiers who had gathered around had all been killed.
More and more Japanese soldiers were running around like headless flies.
"Fight back, fight back, charge up, charge up!”
Yoshino Nakahei raised his katana and shouted.
They were covered in artillery fire, and it was too late to escape. The artillery shells around them kept reaping the lives of the Japanese.
Yoshino Nakahei knew that his only way out was to take down Phoenix Ridge and destroy the artillery position on the other side. Only then could he preserve the Yoshino Regiment to the greatest extent.
"Board!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers of Yoshino Regiment immediately roared and charged toward Phoenix Ridge.
Yoshino United was the elite troops of the Japanese.
After a series of attacks, they were not defeated. Instead, they charged toward Phoenix Ridge.
Ding Wei was watching the battle at Phoenix Ridge from the side.
He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
He touched his head and said,"Old Chen, hit me and see if I'm dreaming."”
" What?!" The deputy commander was also shocked." Commander, hit me! See if I'm dreaming!"”
"Old Chen, what did you see?"
"I saw that the Japanese Yoshino regiment is about to be wiped out. The artillery fire just now killed at least a thousand Japanese, or even more!”
"I saw it too. It doesn't seem like a dream. Are these still the elite troops of the Japanese?”
Ding Wei muttered to himself.
Since the war with the Japanese, the loss ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese had stabilized at five to one.
In the beginning, this loss ratio was even more exaggerated.
The national army was even worse. A ten to one loss ratio was considered a great victory. Often, there were twenty to one or even more exaggerated hundreds of losses to one.
But what did they see now?
The 357th Regiment had a battalion of soldiers, and they were able to suppress an entire regiment of soldiers.
In fact, they had already killed and injured at least a thousand Japanese.
"Damn it, it seems like I overestimated the Japanese in the past. I have to do the same in the future. Concentrate the superior firepower and attack them first. After the Japanese lose their firepower advantage, they will be just like that!”
Ding Wei quickly summarized the battle experience of the 1st Battalion.
Hearing Ding Wei's words, the advisor beside him could not help but smile bitterly.""Regiment commander, we need to have the firepower of Regiment 357. Didn't you hear the cannons behind us? 75mm howitzers, at least 20 of them. Where are we going to steal 20 of them?”
Ding Wei couldn't help but grin when he heard that. What he said made sense. The new regiment indeed didn't have so many cannons.
However, the battle was not over.
The counterattack of the devils was even more ferocious than the first wave.
Yoshino Nakahei's desperate fight also showed the characteristics of the Japanese. If they retreated from the artillery bombardment area at this time, there would be a large number of casualties.
It was better to take a gamble and take down the enemy's position. Perhaps they could survive.
Under the leadership of Yoshino Nakahei, the remaining 2,000 Japanese soldiers roared and charged toward Phoenix Ridge.
The dense horde of devils that covered the entire Phoenix Ridge attacked the mountain together. Looking down from the mountain, it looked like a swarm of yellow locusts swarming towards the mountain.
"The devil has some courage, but this is courting death.”
Yu Yang looked at the Japanese soldiers who were charging down and shouted,""Fire the heavy machine guns at a distance of 200 meters. Fire the light machine guns at a distance of 150 meters. Everyone at a distance of 100 meters, fire.”
Although Yu Yang didn't care about the Japanese's counterattack before their death, he looked down on the enemy strategically, but he valued the enemy tactically.
Anyone who risked their lives with you could not be underestimated. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.
The distance of the Japanese charging was getting closer and closer.
The Yoshino United team's Japanese soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed forward as they saw the approaching position.
As long as they could take down the enemy's position and destroy the enemy's artillery, those shells would not fall on their heads.
"Charge!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
As the distance between them got closer and closer, the commander of the Japanese soldiers also took the lead and shouted to raise the morale of the Japanese soldiers.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters!
When the distance reached 200 meters, the heavy machine gun position opened fire first.
"Da da…"
"Da da…"
A series of rapid gunshots rang out.
The dense charge of the Japanese became the best target for the heavy machine guns.
As long as he pulled the trigger, he could hit one target after another.
One by one, the Japanese fell to the ground.
But even so, the Japanese still charged towards the camp.
They were the invincible warriors of the Imperium. It was impossible for them to fall in such a small Phoenix Ridge.
"Continue to attack, charge forward and kill them!”
The Japanese officer pulled out his katana and shouted, but a bullet directly shattered his head.
However, it raised the morale of the surrounding Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers continued to charge forward.
They were still 150 meters away from the main camp of Phoenix Ridge.
Light machine guns were set up and started firing at the Japanese.
The heavy machine gun's fire blockade and the light machine gun's support.
Immediately, a vacuum zone was formed in the area 150 meters away from Phoenix Ridge.
Any Japanese who stepped into this area would be killed immediately.
However, the Japanese didn't sit still and wait for death.
The Japanese Grenade Soldiers blended into the charging formation, and from time to time, a Grenade would fall into the Phoenix Ridge's formation.
Immediately after, a heavy machine gun would suddenly misfire, giving the Japanese an opportunity to continue charging forward.
A distance of 100 meters.
" Brothers!" Yu Yang shouted." Hit them hard! Don't let the Japanese Grenade-Grenade Grenade-throwers go!"”
"Yes, sir!"
All the soldiers joined in the battle, holding the big eight pills and constantly pulling the trigger.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers who were within 100 meters were killed by four to five bullets before they could even advance.
At this moment, the mortars on Phoenix Ridge also opened fire.
The cannonballs continued to fall three to four hundred meters away.
At this position, the Japanese were preparing to set up machine gun positions, mortars, and grenade launchers to suppress the defenders of Phoenix Ridge.
However, before these bases could be built, they were destroyed.
One by one, the shells landed on the Japanese's head.
The shrapnel from the mortars would not kill the Japanese immediately. After the shrapnel entered their bodies, the injured Japanese lay on the ground and wailed.
Screams, gunshots, and cannon sounds mixed together.
It resounded throughout Phoenix Ridge.
Yoshino Nakahei fell into despair as he watched the soldiers of Phoenix Ridge fall one after another.
It was over. The Yoshino Regiment was finished. The regiment named after him had been destroyed on Phoenix Ridge.
"Regiment Commander, let's retreat. If we don't retreat, our regiment will be finished!”
Yoshino Nakahei was a little dazed. If he had scouted first before launching an attack, the situation would not have turned out like this.
Looking in the direction of Phoenix Ridge, he pulled out his katana and shouted,""Charge!"
When the guard beside Yoshino Nakahei saw this scene, he immediately shouted,"Board!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
"Ten Thousand Victory to the Empire!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Yoshino Nakahei led the last Japanese squadron and launched a death charge.
He knew that even if he successfully retreated, what awaited him was still death.
He still wanted to commit suicide, but Yoshino Nakahei did not want to commit suicide. He only wanted to die in battle!
Yoshino Nakahei's charge didn't give the devils any chance to turn things around.
It was just an addition of 200 people to the number of devils killed by the 1st Battalion.
At this moment, a new group of signalmen arrived in front of Yu Yang.
"What did you say?" Yu Yang said loudly as he loaded a magazine into the M1 Garand.
" Sir, our regiment commander said that if you can't stop the enemy's attack, you can retreat. After all, we are a group of Japanese…"
Wang Shan's voice became softer and softer. After all, he had already seen it when he came.
The Japanese regiment was being suppressed by the 357th regiment.
"Hahaha, go back and tell your regiment commander that there's no need for that. Tell him to go and support Li Jiapo. Not a single Japanese from the 21st Brigade can pass through Phoenix Ridge!”
After saying that, Yu Yang shot and killed a Japanese soldier holding a samurai sword. He was about 300 to 400 meters away, and there were a large number of Japanese soldiers beside him. He seemed to be an officer.
However, Yu Yang did not care at all. Be it the Japanese officers or soldiers, they were all killed!
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Shan looked at the equipment of the 357th Regiment and could not help but feel a little envious.
This was really good. Other than the good weapons, the ammunition boxes beside the soldiers were filled with bullets.
When had they ever been so rich in the Eighth Route War?
The battle at Phoenix Ridge lasted for about an hour.
The Japanese left more than 3,000 corpses behind and fled Phoenix Ridge in a panic. The Yoshino Regiment had 3,800 men, but less than 500 of them survived.
Yu Yang looked in the direction the ghost was fleeing in and stood up."Brothers, clean up the battlefield. If you see a complete corpse of a Japanese, remember to shoot from afar. Don't give the Japanese a chance to launch a sneak attack!”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion walked out of the camp.
He began to walk out of the camp.
All the soldiers obeyed the order.
From afar, he saw that the corpse was still intact, so he fired a shot at the corpse.
He was sure that he was dead.
There were indeed many Japanese who were only injured but not dead. They wanted to change their bodies before they died.
However, the soldiers of the 357th Regiment did not give them the chance.
They did not approach and used their bayonet to stab the enemy. Instead, they fired from afar. The Japanese soldiers who wanted to change their target before they died could only hold their grenades and be killed.
"Damn it, the Japanese are really cunning!”
Yu Yang could not help but complain after killing a Japanese.
The corpse beside him was holding a grenade in his hand. If he went up to attack, he might be replaced by the Japanese. It was not worth it.
In the distance, at the new group's position.
Ding Wei and Deputy Commander Chen Feng also stood up and looked at Phoenix Ridge's position in the distance.
"A Japanese team is gone just like that?”
"It seems so!"
The deputy commander didn't react in time.
The 8th Route Army had put in so much effort in Lijiapo just to take down a Japanese regiment.
However, the 357th Regiment had actually killed the Japanese so easily. Only a few of them had escaped.
"Immediately send a message to the headquarters. They really don't want us here anymore!”
"Yes, sir!"
After hearing Ding Wei's order, the signalman immediately sent a message to the 8th Route Army headquarters.
At this moment, in the headquarters of the 8th Route Army.
The phone kept ringing.
"What is it? The Japanese were attacking fiercely? Tell the 7th Regiment to stop the Japanese for at least 3 hours!”
"Where is the 25th Regiment? Quickly infiltrate the surroundings of Zhoujia Town. After the 7th Regiment leaves the battle, immediately stall the 16th Regiment of the Japanese. The battle at Lijiapo is going well, but we need time to deal with the remaining enemies.”
At this time, Li Jiapo's encirclement had been completed. What was left was the 12th regiment that had taken down the devils and the reinforcements that had blocked the devils.
The 29th Brigade of the Japanese were marching toward Li Jiapo. They had already broken through the first path and were about 40 kilometers away from Li Jiapo.
" Report, a new batch of telegrams."
At this moment, a signalman walked up to the deputy commander-in-chief with a telegram.
"A new group? Did something happen to Phoenix Ridge?"
The deputy commander-in-chief could not help but feel a little worried.
In the direction of Phoenix Ridge, there was only the New Regiment and the 357th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
It was the weak point of the 8th Route Army's defense.
It wasn't that the 8th Route Army didn't realize it, but in the entire southern region, Phoenix Ridge was the only dangerous terrain that could be defended. After it was occupied by the 357th Regiment, it was useless even if they sent too many troops. They could only wait for the 357th Regiment to withdraw from the battle and send a new regiment to take over before sending the surrounding troops over.
However, when the deputy commander-in-chief read the contents of the telegram, he was stunned.
"How is that possible?"
"What happened, Boss?" The Chief of Staff immediately walked over. Phoenix Ridge has been broken through?"
The deputy commander immediately shook his head and said,""No, take a look!"
After saying that, he handed over the telegram in his hand.
When the chief of staff saw this, he immediately gasped.
What did he see?
A battalion of the 357th Regiment had wiped out the Yoshino Regiment of the Japanese and killed more than 3,000 of them. Only a few hundred of them fled south in panic?
Looking at the telegram in his hand, the chief of staff immediately felt that this was a fantasy.
How was this possible?
"Immediately send a message to Xin Yi to confirm the accuracy of the telegram!”
Although he felt that it was impossible, the new group of people had generated electricity. Everything was definitely true, but he still had to confirm it personally.
This was too shocking.
This wasn't just a small team of Japanese soldiers. This was a regiment of Japanese soldiers. There were more than 3,000 of them, nearly 4,000 of them. How could they be defeated by a battalion of the 357th regiment?
Weren't they in Lijiapo to encircle and annihilate a Japanese regiment?
How many troops were used? In total, more than ten regiments had been sent in. Including the troops on the outer perimeter, there were nearly twenty regiments.
The battle was still ongoing and had not completely ended.
Soon, the second telegram from the new regiment was delivered to the deputy commander.
Looking at the telegram in his hand, which was similar to the previous one, the deputy commander finally believed that the Japanese's Yoshino regiment had been defeated by a battalion of the 357th regiment.
"Suck, this is…"
The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect to be able to defeat the Japanese Yoshino Alliance so easily.
At the same time, in the 357th Regiment.
Yu Zhiqian had already received the telegram from Yu Yang.
"Continue to hold your position and wait for the arrival of the 21st Brigade!”
Yu Zhiqian was not too surprised after reading the telegram.
Yu Zhiqian was very clear about the combat strength of the Japanese troops.
If the equipment was similar, the Japanese troops would not be very strong.
Yu Zhiqian's battalion was not as many as the entire regiment.
However, their equipment was much better than the Japanese. Whether it was their individual firepower or artillery, they were far stronger than the Japanese.
Yu Zhiqian wasn't surprised that he had taken down a Japanese team.
With superior equipment and the quality of the soldiers surpassing the Japanese, Yu Zhiqian did not find it strange that a battalion could take down an exploration team from the Japanese.
After all, a single Japanese regiment could chase after two or three Chinese divisions.
It was just that the two sides had switched positions.
Yu Zhiqian's soldiers were more elite than Gui's, and their equipment was more advanced.
In theory, if the Independent Regiment could equip a battalion's equipment well and let the soldiers use it skillfully, the Independent Regiment would not be afraid of facing a Japanese regiment.
It was just that time was a little rushed. Although the weapons were equipped, it was still unknown how much combat power they could unleash.
After dealing with the Yoshino United Team, Yu Zhiqian looked in the direction of Jinnan.
The defense zone of the 21st Brigade occupied many good places.
Yu Zhiqian did not want to occupy these places, but to seek the autumn wind.
Yu Zhiqian was short of food, but he had all kinds of raw materials.
There were definitely some Japanese. He could take advantage of this opportunity to snatch some of them.
"Order the 3rd Battalion to immediately attack the 21st Brigade's encampment in the direction of Fen River. After seizing the Fen River, immediately move all the resources there.”
The 21st Brigade was stationed at the Fen River, while Shuiquan and Jiaokou were the bases of the troops under the 21st Brigade.
Yu Zhiqian did not know about these troops for the time being. If he found out that these troops were also following the 21st Brigade, he could immediately take them down and empty the supplies.
"Inform the 1st Battalion and the Armored Battalion to get ready to annihilate the 21st Brigade!”
"Yes, sir!"
The 21st Squadron's brigade leader, Takeshi Nakamura, was reading the telegram regarding the direction of Lijiapo. The battle was not going well, and he could not help but frown.
At this moment, the gunfire from Phoenix Ridge had stopped.
He slowly put down the telegram in his hand."It seems that Yoshino United has already taken down Phoenix Ridge!”
The advisor beside him immediately nodded and said,""One hour to defeat a regiment of the Jinsui Army is more than enough!”
"Yes, send a message to the Yoshino Regiment and ask about their losses. The rest of the troops will continue to advance. Quickly pass through Phoenix Ridge."
"Ha Yi!"
At this moment, the 21st Brigade was only two to three kilometers away from Phoenix Ridge.
However, a few minutes after Yumasa Nakamura sent the telegram to Yoshino United, there was still no response.
"Report!"
At this moment, a major rode a horse and rushed to the front of the car that Nakamura Yuemasa was in.
"What happened?"
The major gulped nervously and said,""Report, the Yoshino regiment has been defeated by the Jinsui army!”
"Nani?"
Takeshi Nakamura was stunned for a moment. He looked at the major to confirm that he had not heard wrongly.
Then he looked at the staff officer beside him and asked,"Did the Yoshino regiment send a telegram?"”
The staff officer shook his head." The last telegram from the Yoshino Regiment was sent an hour ago. They said that they had already begun to attack Phoenix Ridge!”
Gunfire kept coming from the front. When the gunfire stopped, they thought that Yoshino United had taken down Phoenix Ridge.
"Bring him here."
"Ha Yi!"
Soon, a wounded Japanese soldier covered in blood was brought in front of Nakamura.
Nakamura looked at the Japanese soldier and frowned. He knew this soldier.
It seemed to be the captain of the second infantry squadron of the first infantry brigade of the Yoshino regiment, Murakami Ichiro.
"Are you Murakami Ichiro? The Company Leader of the 1st Infantry Battalion?"
Nakamura Yuto looked at Ichiro Murakami and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Did something really happen to Yoshino United?
" Reporting to the regiment commander, our unit was attacked by the 357th Regiment of the Jinsui Army at Phoenix Ridge. When we arrived at Phoenix Ridge, we immediately launched an attack on Phoenix Ridge. However, the Jinsui Army at Phoenix Ridge is well-equipped and has fierce firepower..."
Osamu Nakamura was listening to Ichiro Murakami's report, and his expression became uglier and uglier.
A regiment of soldiers had been wiped out by a regiment of the Jinsui Army, and only a few hundred people had escaped.
If this news were to spread.
The 21st Brigade would definitely become a disgrace to the dynasty.
The Empire's army had always been chasing after tens of thousands of enemy troops in a single regiment. They had always fought against the enemy's army alone.
Now, a regiment had actually been defeated by a regiment.
"Eight grid tooth path!"
Yutomasa Nakamura wanted nothing more than to chop off Yoshino Nakahei's head. It was all this bastard's fault. He did not choose to scout with firepower at the first moment and directly launched an attack rashly, which resulted in this situation.
"Damned bastard!"
Hidemasa Nakamura's eyes were burning.
"Brigade Leader, the most important thing now is to take down Phoenix Ridge!”
Nakamura nodded and looked at Murakami Ichiro in front of him.""Gather all the soldiers in your regiment. I will give you a chance to wash away your humiliation. Otherwise, you will be the sinners of the empire!”
"Ha Yi!"
Upon hearing this, Murakami Ichiro immediately bowed and limped forward.
Takeshi Nakamura looked in the direction that Ichiro Murakami had left with an ugly expression."Order all the troops to stop moving forward. The 32nd Regiment, move to Phoenix Ridge immediately! All troops, prepare for battle!"
This place was not far from Phoenix Ridge. After Takeshi Nakamura gave the order, he immediately led his men to retreat. This distance was within the range of the Phoenix Ridge's artillery. It was only safe to go eight kilometers away.
"What a pity, the Japanese actually retreated!”
On Phoenix Ridge, Yu Yang looked through his binoculars at the retreating Japanese soldiers in the distance. He could not help but sigh.
The distance was a little far. Coupled with the angle and the terrain, it was not easy to hit them.
As long as the Japanese army went around a mountain valley in front of them, they would be able to cover them with fire. However, the Japanese army did not continue to advance.
"But do you think you can escape this calamity?”
Looking at where most of the Japanese were stationed, Yu Yang's lips curled up slightly.
Although there was a mountain valley blocking the angle of Phoenix Ridge's bombardment, the area was flat. It was the main battlefield of the armored battalion.
" Send a message to General Shinozuka Kazuo. Tell him that our troops are being blocked by the enemy at Phoenix Ridge. The Yoshino Regiment has suffered heavy losses and will arrive at Lijiapo later than expected!”
Nakamura ordered with an ugly expression.
There were about 300 Japanese standing in front of him.
These were the remaining soldiers of the Yoshino Regiment who could stand.
Out of the 3,800 warriors of the dynasty, only these soldiers were left in an hour, and all of them were injured. Nakamura Yutomasa felt that after this battle, his chances of becoming a major general were completely gone.
"You are the shame of the empire. The empire's army has always been able to destroy multiple enemy troops in one regiment, but today, you were actually defeated by a regiment of the Jinsui Army!”
"You will be nailed to the pillar of shame!”
Upon hearing what Hidemasa Nakamura said, many Yoshino United team members lowered their heads. Some of them even began to cry.
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have a knife to use, the Japanese would have already started to commit suicide.
"But now, I'll give you a chance to wash away your humiliation!”
"You will form a suicide squad. In the next attack, you will be the first to attack Phoenix Ridge!”
"If you can be the first to charge into the enemy's camp in Phoenix Ridge and wash away your humiliation with the enemy's blood, you will still be warriors of the Imperium!”
"If you can't do it, then you will be a disgrace to the empire, and your family will be a disgrace to the empire!”
"Can you do it?"
Hearing what Takeshi Nakamura said.
The faces of these Japanese who were originally defined as humiliation all revealed ferocious expressions.
They were very clear about the current situation of the Japanese. Once they became a disgrace, they would die.
However, their families in the mainland would be discriminated against.
Because of them, their family would not be able to raise their heads in front of everyone.
"Don't worry, we will be the first to attack the enemy's base!”
Under the brainwashing of Yumasa Nakamura, these Japanese had already forgotten the fear they had when they were charging and encountering concentrated firepower.
There was only one thought left in his mind, and that was to take down the enemy's position and wash away his humiliation.
When Nakamura Yuuki saw that the morale of the soldiers had recovered, his expression became a little better.
These soldiers were taken away to rest. There was no doctor to bandage their wounds. They were only given some food, weapons, and ammunition. After they finished eating, they would attack the enemy.
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
