Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

"Nani?"

At the headquarters of the 1st Guards Brigade, seeing the complete annihilation of the Guards Cavalry Regiment, Nagano Yuichiro and his staff officers immediately turned grim.

Although I had expected it, it was still very painful to see an entire cavalry regiment wiped out.

The Imperial Guard Cavalry regiment was praised by even Sky Locust, but it was wiped out in less than five minutes.

Sure enough, in the age of machine guns, cavalry was already obsolete, even the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment was no longer viable.

However, immediately afterward, the tank regiment and anti-aircraft artillery regiment of the Guards Division appeared, and the remaining infantry of the 2nd Guards Brigade attacked together with the tank regiment.

This time, the Japanese used all the tactics of infantry-artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and artillery-tank coordination.

Nagano Yuichiro and his group of Japanese soldiers stared at the battlefield with grave and tense expressions.

Whether the main force of the Imperial Guard Division can successfully break through depends on this one move!
If they can successfully break through, more than 10,000 members of the Guard Division will survive, giving them the potential to return to their former glory in the future.

Otherwise, the entire Imperial Guard Division would have been wiped out here today.

The Imperial Guard Division is the Heavenly Locust's personal guard. If they are all wiped out here, that would be a real disaster.

On the battlefield, the tanks and armored vehicles of each regiment, as well as the remaining tanks of the tank regiment, and more than forty mini tanks and mini armored vehicles launched an attack.

Behind the miniature tanks followed squads of elite soldiers from the 2nd Guards Brigade.

Behind the elite soldiers, rows of Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns and Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns were laid flat and aimed at the firing positions.

Once the Eighth Route Army's firing positions opened fire.

These Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns and Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns were able to quickly destroy the independent regiment's firing positions.

It is worth mentioning that this Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft gun is the anti-aircraft gun that created the myth of "nine out of ten anti-aircraft defenses during the Showa era were ineffective".

"The Japanese devils dare to lay their anti-aircraft guns flat?"

In the command post of the 3rd Column of the Independent Regiment, Wang Huaibao also noticed the difference in the Japanese breakout this time.

Although the Imperial Guards Cavalry Regiment was wiped out, the attacks of the Japanese tank regiment and anti-aircraft artillery regiment followed closely behind.

They gave the 3rd Column no chance to catch its breath.

Moreover, the Japanese positioned their anti-aircraft guns horizontally and fired directly at the firing positions of the 3rd Column.

Because the 3rd column came through a side path.

Although they had large mules, enough ammunition, and brought over equipment such as mountain guns and heavy mortars.

However, heavier artillery and tanks could not be brought over.

Therefore, Wang Huaibao did not have any tanks.

However, the 3rd Column was also equipped with a number of M2 heavy machine guns, bazookas, and 20mm autocannons, all of which could inflict fatal damage on Japanese tanks.

However, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery regiment could also inflict fatal damage on these strongpoints of the 3rd Column.

"Order the heavy mortars and mountain gun positions to aim at the Japanese anti-aircraft gun positions and open fire!"

Wang Huaibao issued the order.

"Yes!"

The artillery staff quickly determined the location of the artillery positions on Guizishan Mountain and notified the artillery positions behind them using a high-powered walkie-talkie.

"Target area 21, full fire!"

Following the order from the column headquarters, 12 heavy mortars and 24 75mm mountain guns quickly opened fire on area 21.

Without any prior test firing, they immediately launched a barrage of artillery fire.

Despite being under heavy artillery fire, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery regiment did not move to a new position, but instead continued to fire relentlessly at the Eighth Route Army's strongpoints.

"Reporting, Battalion Commander, the Regiment Commander wants to speak with you!"

At that moment, the communications staff officer ran over to report. Wang Huaibao threw down his binoculars, immediately went to the high-powered walkie-talkie, grabbed the receiver, and put it to his ear: "Regimental Commander, this is Wang Huaibao."

"This is Kong Jie, Huai Bao. I heard it's quite a big fight over there. How's it going on your end?"

Kong Jie's voice immediately came through the receiver.

Wang Huaibao said, "We just annihilated the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment. The Japanese are making a final, desperate charge against our column's positions."

"Well done!" Kong Jie said with satisfaction. "More than 50 planes from the New First Regiment's flight squadron have taken off from Daguzhen Airport and will arrive in 20 minutes at most. After the planes bomb the Japanese, I will launch a counterattack immediately. Your 3rd Column's mission is to ensure that not a single Japanese soldier escapes."

"Don't worry, Commander." Wang Huaibao's eyes lit up, and his tone was resolute. "If even one Japanese soldier crosses the line of my 3rd Column, I, Wang Huaibao, will twist my head off and give it to you as a chamber pot."

After speaking, Wang Huaibao hung up the call and went to the observation window to take a look at the battlefield.

As the Japanese tanks approached, some tanks had already suffered fatal damage.

The Japanese anti-aircraft gun positions had been covered by artillery fire, and the firepower of the anti-aircraft guns had been greatly reduced, but many anti-aircraft guns were still firing.

Wang Huaibao smiled coldly. Without the anti-aircraft guns, let's see how you defend against the air later.

"Give me the order!"

"The reserve force shall immediately move into position as planned to reinforce the defensive line!"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff quickly went to convey the order.

……

At the same time, on the 3rd Column's position, Wang Hexin's firing point was hit by a Japanese 47mm shell.

One ammunition handler was killed and the assistant gunner was seriously wounded, but Wang Hexin was only slightly injured, and the MG42 machine gun was not damaged.

Wang Hexin simply bandaged the wound and then carried the machine gun to its spare position and set it up again.

The backup machine gun position was also a firing point built with sandbags, and this firing point was also very sophisticated.

After a dozen sandbags were piled up, there was only one small firing hole.

Even if the Japanese soldiers were very skilled with their guns, it would be difficult for them to hit the machine gunners.

At this moment, the Japanese tank that was firing at Wang Hexin's machine gun position had already been destroyed by a 20mm autocannon.

However, a large number of Japanese infantrymen rushed over from behind the Japanese tanks.

Wang Hexin immediately loaded a 250-round ammunition belt into the chamber and pulled the bolt to chamber a bullet.

Then he rested the butt of the rifle on his right shoulder, and with his left hand holding the ammunition belt higher than the machine gun to ensure that bullets could be continuously fed into the chamber. He then aimed at the charging Japanese infantry and pulled the trigger with his right index finger.

"What a stupid little devil!"

Blood streamed down Wang Hexin's forehead, his expression fierce, as if all the gunfire and explosions around him had vanished, his eyes fixed only on the Japanese soldiers opposite him.

blah blah blah...

With each tearing sound, a swarm of Japanese soldiers charging towards them would fall.

After finishing one ammunition belt, Wang Hexin would change to a new barrel, load another ammunition belt, and continue firing.

Wang Hexin didn't know how long he had been firing until he heard an explosion that sounded like a huge muffled thunder, at which point he stopped firing.

Within a few hundred meters in front of him lay at least a hundred Japanese soldiers.

boom boom boom…

More than 50 aircraft took turns attacking and strafing, and the huge explosions continued. Huge fireballs rose up in the Japanese formation, and one by one, the elite Japanese soldiers were reduced to ashes.

Seeing this, Wang Hexin grinned.

Blow those bastards to death. (End of Chapter)
