Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

"You damned Japanese devils, you've finally met your match!"

Watching the Japanese soldiers fall row after row before the cold machine gun fire, Zhao Yunwen was in high spirits. When the enemy was poor, he could use tactical flanking maneuvers; when they were rich, he could use artillery fire. He wanted to force the Japanese to use their lives to fill the pit.

The bunkers on Zijin Mountain were built by the Nationalist government at great expense, all from the hard-earned money of the people. It is said that the Germans personally supervised the construction, so they were not the shoddy construction of Wu Fuxian.

The Training Corps would not make full use of the fortifications. Zhao Yunwen seized the defenses of Tiger Cave and Second Peak with the intention of wearing down the Japanese with strong fortifications.

The Japanese suicide squads' assault was tantamount to suicide missions. Zhao Yunwen, with his "micro-management" skills, had already devised targeted tactics. With the precise shooting of a large number of snipers, the suicide squads couldn't even get close to the bunker.

Nomura's battalion attacked for two hours straight, but failed to break through the first line of defense, leaving behind a hillside full of corpses and returning in defeat.

From the observation post of the First Peak Command, Gui Yongqing and Qiu Fengzi were also watching the spectacle from afar. Seeing the Japanese troops retreat like a tide, Qiu Fengzi remarked with emotion:

"Senior Zhao is really good at defense. After fighting for a long time, the Japanese suffered hundreds of casualties, but they still couldn't break through his first line of defense."

There were rumors circulating that the senior was a good-for-nothing from Whampoa Military Academy. Who gave them the courage?

Gui Yongqing smiled knowingly and said:

"That's absolutely true. Based on his previous performance, calling him a good-for-nothing would be too kind. Don't forget that Brother Yunwen is from the same hometown as the principal, a graduate of the first class. Even a dog wouldn't have become the head of the security team."

To be honest, quite a few people were misjudged, including myself, and even the principal. They were quite adept at concealing their shortcomings!

Qiu the Madman asked, puzzled:

"Does he need to hide his talents? With his abilities and family background, he could easily stand out in the first term!"

Gui Yongqing smiled meaningfully and said:

"Who knows? Maybe this kid has a wicked sense of humor."

The two men laughed heartily; this wasn't their focus. As long as Zhao Yunwen and the guerrilla detachment could fight, that was enough. With a capable fighter at the front, the training brigade would have an easier time.

At the headquarters of the 36th Infantry Regiment, Jiro Wakisaka was in a much worse mood. After two consecutive failed attacks, the division commander had begun to question his abilities.

Senior strategist Makoto Uchida was also at a loss. He hadn't expected that they couldn't even take down a small hill. If word got out, they would lose face, especially since they were a "martial" division.

"Uchida-kun, have you found the reason?"

Uchida could only bite the bullet and say:

"The Chinese bunkers are too sturdy, forming a defensive system with the surrounding firepower. Only by breaking this system can we defeat them one by one."

"Uchida-kun, what time is it and you're still beating around the bush? Get to the point!"

Uchida dared not deceive him any longer and said seriously:

"The Chinese bunkers are only three or four meters high, enough to hide a squad at most. The real threat comes from the flanks. With them there, the warriors can't get close to the bunkers at all."

Concentrate artillery fire on the trenches on both flanks. These fortifications are open; with sufficient firepower, they can all be destroyed. Use incendiary bombs to burn Hill 227 to the ground!

Wakisaka Jiro finally smiled and said approvingly:

"Yosh, that's brilliant! Call in artillery support, switch to incendiary bombs, and burn all the Chinese to death!"

At the Tiger Cave position, the soldiers retreated into the cat-ear holes as usual, leaving only a few observation posts behind.

The Japanese infantry suffered heavy losses and would definitely retaliate with artillery fire. The soldiers of the isolated battalion had long since figured out their tactics and dealt with them with ease.

The shelling arrived as scheduled, igniting raging fires upon landing. As the shells continued to fall, the eastern slope of Tiger Cave was almost entirely engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing out. Many people were choked by the smoke, their eyes and noses running, while others were set ablaze and perished in the flames.

Because the air was filled with a lot of toxic smoke, the soldiers took out their gas masks and put them on to avoid being poisoned by the smoke.

"Damn it, they dared to set fire!"

Zhao Yunwen located the Japanese artillery positions on the minimap and said to the system:

"Rent a bomber squadron and bomb the artillery regiment of the 9th Division!"

【Received. Should we still use the dive bomber?】

"Naturally, the Japanese have learned their lesson. Their artillery is divided into several groups, and the bomber groups are to launch separate attacks, focusing on destroying the heavy artillery battalion. For safety, we'll also rent a fighter squadron for escort."

Zhao Yunwen once again used his "golden touch" to make an example of Zhao Yunwen!

At the 9th Division's artillery position, the Japanese were bombarding the area when suddenly dozens of black dots appeared in the clouds, sweeping in from all directions. The artillerymen, mistaking them for friendly air warriors, waved and paid their respects.

Colonel Serikawa Hideaki, the wing commander, suddenly realized something was wrong. These planes seemed to be heading straight for them. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed in alarm:

"Enemy attack!"

The 24 bombers dispersed into several groups and swooped down like eagles snatching chicks, dropping a barrage of bombs from the sky, instantly engulfing the artillery positions in explosions.

Shanghai, Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army

The chief of staff rushed in, disregarding all etiquette for an audience with a prince, and loudly proclaimed:

"Your Highness, that mysterious air force has reappeared and is bombing the 9th Division's artillery positions!"

Lieutenant General Asaka not only did not reprimand the Chief of Staff for his recklessness, but also excitedly said:

"Quickly, notify the aerial warriors to intercept and kill them! They must be annihilated!"

In order to deal with China's "mysterious aircraft fleet", they not only sent out a large number of spies to find the location of the airport, but also prepared an emergency strike group, a total of 36 Type 96 fighters.

Before long, 36 fighter jets took off and headed straight for their destination.

[Host, 36 enemy aircraft are reinforcing the artillery positions, 130 kilometers away. Should we retreat or engage? The bomber squadron is about to complete its bombing run; we can completely avoid the enemy and save contribution points.]

Zhao Yunwen didn't appreciate the system's well-intentioned reminder. Although he was usually a bit stingy, he wouldn't be polite when the Japanese aircraft came knocking on his door.

"System, escort fighter squadron, sortie immediately! Engage the Japanese! Shoot them all down, I'm not short of contribution points!"

[Okay, you're rich! Host's orders received. Bomber squadron continues bombing to lure the Japanese aircraft into a trap, then wait and annihilate them. This tactic takes longer, but it maximizes the results. Is that alright?]

"Let's get started. I told you, money's no object!"

Zhao Yunwen forcefully interrupted the system's overly AI-like nonsense, overwhelming the system with contribution points.

The system stopped talking and ordered the fighter squadron to hide in the clouds and wait, while the bomber squadron continued to ravage the Japanese.

The 130-kilometer journey was quickly completed, and the Japanese commander leading the group shouted excitedly:

"Warriors, the hunt begins! Slaughter all the Chinese fighter jets!"

Before he could finish speaking and issue the order, twenty or thirty black dots appeared in the clouds to his side.

Shunsuke Ito immediately recognized it as a fighter jet, its speed astonishing, just like the mysterious aircraft reported in internal communications.

"An ambush?!"

Colonel Ito was shocked by his own judgment. Who was plotting against whom?

"Baka yarou, enemy attack!"

Before Colonel Ito could react, the opposing aircraft had already spewed out long tongues of fire, and in the blink of an eye, several Type 96 fighters were blown up in mid-air.

Colonel Ito's eyes practically spit fire as he instantly pushed his speed to the limit, charging headlong into the mysterious formation of aircraft, setting the stage for a life-or-death aerial battle...
