Chapter 361 Gold Finger Upgrade, Heaven-Defying Function! Sub-modules are enabled to solve bottleneck problems (Subscription required)
When the front line advanced to Xinkou Town.

Lieutenant Colonel Takashi Kimura felt powerless to save the situation.

He mobilized the remaining Japanese soldiers to fight to the death.

At the same time, they continued to send telegrams requesting the 20th Division of the Japanese Army to send troops for support as soon as possible.

however.

The telegram sent never received a response.

It was as if they were abandoned.

at this time.

Shanxi and Taiyuan.

First Army Headquarters.

At this time, Kusunokichi Hideyoshi was standing outside the small conference room waiting for the final order.

inside the room.

The two sides would occasionally raise their voices in an emotional argument, causing Kusunokichi Hideyoshi to frown slightly.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko held different opinions on whether to send troops to reinforce the 20th Division.

"The Kimura Special Battalion is not a force we can give up easily!"

"Your Excellency, we have no troops available to support Xinkou Town. The value of their existence in the first place is to hold out to the end and force the enemy to give up the idea of ​​attacking Longcheng."

Shinozuka Yoshio emphasized lightly: "Now, they have fulfilled their due responsibilities and obligations, at least proving that our opponents actually have a certain degree of offensive capabilities."

"We must not take risks lightly in operations based on our assessment of the enemy's situation at this time. This goes against the headquarters' strategy."

"We need to control Dragon City. Now that we can no longer rely on bluffing to buy time for the reorganization of the troops, we should restart the negotiations according to the original plan to buy more time."

After listening to Shinozuka Yoshio's idea, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko rejected it and said, "Our opponent is a young man who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and his head is full of lofty aspirations."

"Human life seems to be worthless in his eyes. Negotiation is simply impossible. I doubt Chu Yunfei himself even cares about his own life!"

"The most critical point is that if we allow the peripheral combat troops to be annihilated continuously, it will also affect the morale of the combat troops below. If the enemy adopts a combat method of gradual erosion, our army will have no way to deal with it."

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned slightly: "It is impossible to block the news of the fall of Xinkou Town. The 20th Division may have received the news."

"Whether the negotiations can continue or not, we need someone to help us buy enough time, even if it's just to transport some more combat supplies."

If you want support.

The troops will set out immediately.

From the very beginning, the infantry regiment received no orders.

It is obvious that Yoshio Shinozuka never considered whether the Japanese troops in Xinkou Town would be completely wiped out.

The sole purpose of their existence is to buy enough time.

Otherwise, the troops should have started mobilizing a week ago.

You know, they are now at a complete disadvantage in terms of military strength.

The combat effectiveness of Chu Yunfei's troops.

It cannot be contained by a field infantry regiment.

If they wanted to support Xinkou Town, they would first have to break through the 15-kilometer blockade outside Longcheng.

And fighting outside the city was exactly what the enemy wanted.

No one knows where Chu Yunfei's main force is deployed.

It is also unclear how mobile they are.

If there were no ace troops like the Flying Tigers Attack Army.

It is the Sixth Army in a fully staffed state.

And the 14th Army could not even dream of encircling a permanent infantry division.

After all, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was overwhelming against most of the national army's troops.

But at the same time, if the 20th Division wanted to break out directly.

Even the 88 Group.

There is no way to stop them.

The Japanese army simply could not afford the losses caused by a breakout.

They were also unwilling to abandon a key strategic node like Longcheng.

Just hold on to Dragon City firmly.

If we buy enough time, we will be able to re-consolidate the entire Shanxi and North China regions.

Prince Asaka Naruhiko was unable to convince Yoshio Shinozuka.

He was here just to observe.

Now he is just assisting in command.

Even if he insists on his own ideas.

He could only try to persuade the commander of the North China Front Army, Sugiyama Hajime.

But it was unable to decide how the entire Shanxi First Army should fight.

The day.

Two-thirds of the entire Xinkou town was cleared out.

Only Xinkou Station and surrounding areas remain.

The Japanese fortifications were more dense and their echelon configuration was more reasonable.

As it got darker, the difficulty of the attack increased significantly.

Chen Feng, who was in charge of the front-line command, kept in mind the instructions Chu Yunfei had given him before.

The two sides once again faced off.

And ask the command center whether to launch a night attack.

Chu Yunfei stood in front of the phone: "No, the troops should be on alert and beware of the Japanese invaders."

"Yes!"

Huang Baitao put forward his own idea: "Sir, why not take advantage of this opportunity and make a concerted effort."

"It doesn't matter to us whether the battle ends today or tomorrow."

"The most important thing is that we can reduce our casualties when attacking during the day."

The artillery fire guidance skill has been used twice in one day.

The third time will most likely have some negative effects on the body.

The Japanese army now has less than two hundred combat troops left.

There is no need to rush for time, and there is no need for Chu Yunfei to waste his life.

Xinkou Town Station.

This group of veteran Japanese soldiers who had fought in many battles sat blankly in their fortifications.

good news.

There were so many combat supplies that it was impossible for them to consume them all in battle with their current strength. Bad news, there were no reinforcements.

The captain had been killed in the afternoon, and the highest rank among the few remaining Japanese soldiers was only a captain.

Faced with such a desperate situation, it is impossible to come up with an effective strategy.

Breakout?

Faced with firepower from light and heavy weapons that are several times more powerful than theirs.

Even at night, these attacking forces would not hesitate to use flares.

The mood of despair spread in the hearts of every Japanese soldier.

death.

It became the only future they had to face.

Early the next morning.

It's just getting light.

One shell after another hit Xinkou Station.

Just fifteen minutes later.

The entire station was reduced to ruins in an instant.

Chu Yunfei did not spare his physical strength and energy.

The skill was used twice in just fifteen minutes of bombardment.

According to his estimate.

At least four hundred 105mm caliber shells accurately hit the target.

Under this situation.

The remaining Japanese troops in the station were quickly wiped out.

There has been no movement for a long time.

[The total number of Japanese soldiers killed so far has exceeded 100,000.]

[Current system submodule LV5 upgraded to LV6]

[Current combat map radius increased to 75KM]

[Current special skill - scanning has been enabled]

[Note: Scanning skills can mark enemy fortifications and recommend suitable weapons and equipment, further improving combat efficiency and reducing casualties.]

[Currently special submodule is enabled: Diplomacy]

【Note: Please explore this function by yourself.】

Scan this skill.

The system considerately marks the intended use.

Chu Yunfei doesn't need to rely on experience to make judgments.

Should we use 75mm artillery or 105mm artillery?

The consumption of current materials can be reduced as much as possible.

As for this submodule, the diplomatic module.

[Current submodule level LV1]

[Currently available options: Improve relations; Destroy relations; Submit aid contracts; Send volunteers]

[Current domestic interactive forces (sorted from high to low by favorability): Jin Army, Central Army, Mysterious Forces, Northeast Army, Sichuan Army, Northwest Army, Guangxi Army.]

Note: Domestic forces cannot interact.

[Current international interaction forces (ranked from high to low in terms of favorability): the United States, the Soviet Union, France, Sweden, Germany, Japan]

[Current Action Power: 1]

The way to obtain action power is as follows:

1. Increase a little naturally every week

2. One point can be added for every thousand soldiers of the enemy camp annihilated. 】

[Note: After the aid contract is successfully submitted, the international power relations will be reduced, and sending volunteers can improve the international power relations. ]

[Currently available actions: Improve relations; Destroy relations. ]

Something.

I had a brief understanding of it.

The most direct function of this diplomacy is that it can help him more smoothly obtain more material assistance from the world's mainstream industrial powers.

It indirectly solved the bottleneck problem.

As for sending volunteer troops.

That's basically impossible, even if Chang Ruiyuan agreed.

Chu Yunfei also did not send any troops abroad.

Perhaps it will be useful when we go on the expedition to Burma.

Given the current international situation, the Japanese army's march southward is a foregone conclusion.

It’s just that acquiring this ability to take action is quite demanding.

It's only been a week, and the rest depends on annihilating the enemy.

The little devils are not that easy to fight. I just don't know if those second devils count.
Taking prisoners can also be considered annihilation from a military perspective.

Xinkou Town.

Chen Feng personally led the team to thoroughly sort out the entire Xinkou Town.

All corners, cellars, basements, and any place where something could be hidden were checked twice.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

A phone call came into the command center.

Huang Baitao quickly picked it up.

The gunfire had basically subsided an hour and a half ago, and the battle was basically over.

"The Japanese troops in Xinkou Town were completely wiped out, with no reports of any escapes."

"The number of seizures is currently being further counted."

"Yesterday, Chen Feng reported that there were several military supply warehouses in Xinkou Town that were damaged by our army's artillery fire. It is estimated that 40% of them are still usable. It is estimated that they can equip two battalions. These light weapons are used to arm the Second and Third Regiments of the Sichuan Army."

"Yes!" Huang Baitao was quite grateful: "Before you came, I had already sent Zhang Dongkai to Jincheng to assist in the training, and Sun Ming's work was basically finished. It is said that the chairman specially sent a commendation telegram for his hard work."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Sun Ming is very capable. After all, he is my adjutant. Otherwise, I would not dare to let him work in northern Sichuan."

"Sun Ming is good in every way, except that his work style is a bit radical. Aren't you worried that he might offend the people above him?"

Chu Yunfei nodded nonchalantly: "If we want to achieve our goal, the process will certainly affect the interests of other parties. There is nothing we can do about it."

"After the battle in Xinkou Town is over, the next thing we should consider is to clear the subsequent obstacles along the railway line."
