You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

At this moment, chaos had broken out outside the fishing village on the shore.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were grinning maliciously as they chased after a group of terrified women and elderly people.

"Pretty girl, get to work! Don't run away!"

"Hahaha, you Chinese pig, you can't escape!"

Seeing that several elderly people who were running slowly were about to be caught by the Japanese soldiers' bayonets, several young women were also forced to a dead end by the river.

Just then.

"Buzz—"

A tremendous roar of engines exploded.

The two LCS fire support boats rushed directly to a point less than 200 meters from the shore.

The ship's loudspeakers blared instantly, and Lin Feng's voice rang out:

"Fellow villagers! Get down! Everyone get down!"

This roar was like a bolt from the blue.

Although the women and elderly people who were running for their lives did not know what was happening, their instinct for survival made them subconsciously listen to the sound and fall down on the muddy riverbank.

The Japanese soldiers chasing behind were stunned.

Before they could react, they saw the two enormous steel monsters on the river suddenly spew out tongues of fire.

"Knock knock knock knock—"

The twin-mounted 40mm Bofors machine guns emitted a dull and terrifying roar.

Under the dim light of dusk, strings of orange-red tracer bullets lashed out like fiery whips at the Japanese troops.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The few Japanese soldiers at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before they were blown into a cloud of blood mist by 40mm high-explosive shells.

Yes, not beaten to death, but smashed to pieces.

A Japanese sergeant was brandishing his sword and yelling wildly when, in the next second, his upper body disappeared, leaving only his two bowed legs still twitching in place.

Immediately afterwards, a dense barrage of 20mm Oerlikon cannons and 12.7mm heavy machine guns joined the chorus.

"Da da da da da—"

A metal storm swept across the riverbank.

Those Japanese soldiers who were originally fierce and arrogant instantly became lambs to the slaughter.

"ah--!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The Japanese soldiers fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.

Some had their legs broken and crawled on the ground howling in pain; others had their stomachs ripped open and their intestines spilled out.

The remaining Japanese soldiers finally realized that these weren't friendly naval idiots at all; they were the Grim Reaper who had come to claim their lives.

"Baka! Run! Run back!"

The surviving Japanese soldiers were terrified and scrambled to escape inland, wishing their parents could give them two more legs.

Lin Feng stood on the bridge, watching this scene, and gave a cold smile.

He picked up the radio transmitter:

"Calling the armored regiment, calling Zhao Dashan."

I am Lin Feng.

I encountered Japanese troops on the riverbank in Yuliang Village, but they had already been suppressed by my firepower.

You are ordered to proceed at full speed and arrive as soon as possible!

Upon arrival, the infantry immediately disembarked and, in coordination with the tanks, launched an attack. "Don't let these beasts get away!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Zhao Dashan's excited roar came through the radio.

-----

Meanwhile, on the shore, Tanaka Jiro, the commander of the Japanese supply battalion, was on the verge of tears.

Two torpedo boats just sped past the fishing village, their machine guns unleashing a deluge of ammunition as if it were free.

His supply train consisted mostly of Japanese horses and mules pulling carts.

These animals have never seen anything like this before.

Startled by the intense artillery fire, the camp instantly erupted into chaos.

"Herod—"

The warhorses neighed and galloped about in all directions.

Many horses were shredded to pieces by high-caliber machine gun bullets, with blood and internal organs splattering everywhere.

The remaining mules and horses were startled and ran wildly, overturning the cannons, ammunition boxes, and supply wagons they were pulling into the ditches by the roadside at the village entrance, turning the column into complete chaos.

"Baka! Hold on! Hold on!"

Tanaka Jiro brandished his sword, attempting to regain control of the situation.

He ordered a counterattack, but the Type 38 rifles and Type 91 machine guns in the hands of the Japanese soldiers could only produce a few sparks when they hit the armored gun shields of the PT torpedo boat, leaving not even a mark.

On the contrary, the machine guns and M2HB heavy machine guns on the torpedo boats kept them pinned down, unable to even lift their heads.

"Captain, we can't hold out any longer!"

A Japanese lieutenant stumbled over.

His left arm was severed at the elbow, clearly blown off by a large-caliber machine gun. The cut was a bloody mess, and it was simply tied up with a tourniquet.

Due to excessive blood loss, his face was ashen, and his body swayed precariously.

"Sir... those cannons! And the ammunition! They all overturned at the village entrance!"

If we don't take it back..."

"Baka! I know!"

Tanaka Jiro slapped the lieutenant across the face, but the impact made his own hand ache.

He looked at the overturned Type 41 mountain guns in the distance and the scattered ammunition boxes, and his heart bled.

This was entrusted to him by the brigade commander; it was the heavy firepower of the 41st Regiment, as well as half of the brigade's supplies.

If he loses everything, he will have no choice but to commit seppuku to atone for his sins.

but……

Go back and rob it?

He glanced at the several warships still spitting fire on the river, then looked at the soldiers around him who had been blown to pieces.

Rushing in would be suicide.

The sheer density of firepower was beyond his comprehension.

Who would be so kind as to cram so many machine guns and cannons onto such a small boat?

"boom!"

The 76mm main gun on the LCS fire support boat opened fire.

Tanaka Jiro watched as his own Type 96 machine gun, along with its gunner, was blasted into the air.

"Baka!"

If we turn back under such firepower, we might not be able to recapture the artillery, and the entire battalion could be wiped out.

In the end, he will still have to commit seppuku.

"Baka yarou!"

Tanaka Jiro roared to the sky, filled with impotent rage:

"Damn navy idiots!"

How could they let Chinese warships sail here?!

Didn't they say the river had been blocked off?

"These useless idiots, they've ruined my life."

Blaming the navy. This is a traditional tactic of the Japanese army.

When in doubt, blame the navy.

However, despite the insults, their lives still needed to be saved.

Tanaka Jiro gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision:

"Pass down the order."

Abandon the frightened mules and overturned vehicles.

The entire army retreated northward, away from the Yangtze River.

Hurry up!

"But... Your Excellency, those cannons..." The one-armed lieutenant wanted to say something more.

"Shut up!"

Tanaka Jiro glared at him fiercely:

There is an old Chinese saying: "Where there's life, there's hope."

The enemy only had a few small warships and no infantry landings.

With so much baggage and artillery, weighing hundreds of tons, they definitely couldn't move it away in a short time during the night.

We'll retreat to the village called "Xiaowangzhuang" to the north to rest and recuperate.

"Once it's light, we'll figure out a way to fight our way back and take the stuff back."

He comforted himself, feeling that the plan was flawless.

"Also, send out a communications soldier immediately."

Tanaka Jiro added:

"Ride a fast horse to catch up with the main force ahead."

Inform Brigade Commander Kunisaki that we have been attacked by the Chinese Navy in the rear and request tactical guidance.

"Hai!"

With the order given, the remaining nearly a thousand Japanese supply troops, like stray dogs, abandoned their armor and fled north in a sorry state, quickly disappearing into the night.

All that remained were corpses, dead horses, and mountains of supplies.
