Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Chapter 862 Kawasaki United

Colonel Kawasaki of the 5th Division did not expect to be discovered so quickly. According to his previous idea, they should have advanced to the outskirts of the airport before being discovered. He had a special commando team under his command to deal with enemy troops along the way.

"what happened?"

Colonel Kawasaki frowned and said that similar actions had been carried out before, but they were basically discovered only when they were almost in the enemy's hinterland. Now they are still far away from the airport.

"Reporting to His Excellency, Colonel, this army has never appeared here before. When we came to investigate last night, there were only a few observation points around. Today, they came straight here. If my subordinates are not mistaken, they should be the same as we think, a proactive attack force, and their target is our Fifth Division."

The assault team leader under Colonel Kawasaki was very capable. In addition to graduating from the Japanese Army University, he also studied at a Junkers military academy for two years. He quickly saw through the intentions of Zhao Tiezhu's men.

"Which army is this?"

After the sneak attack fails, the only option is to launch a frontal attack.

"A certain unit of the 3rd Infantry Division. As for the specific number, it is not clear at the moment."

When the commando captain said this, his face was very hot. Hundreds of people have died, and you don't even know their real numbers. You are really incompetent as the commander-in-chief of the front line.

"The attack power is so strong. If nothing goes wrong, it should be Li Shaoyi's Guards Regiment or other ace troops. Tell all soldiers to retreat immediately and give up the front line. Let our heavy artillery battalion begin the bombardment."

Colonel Kawasaki took a quick look and immediately realized that our army could not stop them. Instead of trying desperately to defend these buildings, it would be better to let the heavy artillery battalion attack first.

Currently, Japan has seven heavy artillery battalions in Tianjin, but now there are only three left. As soon as they show up, they will be killed by the enemy immediately. According to my subordinates, it is best not to use the heavy artillery battalion before new heavy artillery is delivered.

But think about it, they killed three or four hundred of us in one encounter, which is enough to show how powerful the army is. If we still use the previous method to preserve our strength, then in the next battle, this number is likely to double or triple, and the entire regiment may be defeated.

"Report to Division Commander Sakahara and tell him we've encountered the main force of the 72nd Army and request tactical guidance."

Colonel Kawasaki did not dare to be arrogant. If he had encountered such an army in the past, he would have quietly dealt with the problem and then returned to claim credit.

But this army today is different. They eliminated hundreds of us in one encounter, crippling a whole battalion. If we continue to delay, it's fine if the situation favors us, but if it doesn't...

Colonel Kawasaki did not want to take the corresponding responsibility. After the war in North China broke out, countless people were dismissed from their posts. No matter whether you had made contributions in the past or had someone behind you, when the 72nd Army was facing unfavorable combat conditions, the headquarters dealt with them one by one.

After Colonel Kawasaki gave the order, the Japanese who were fighting with Zhao Tiezhu's army began to retreat quickly one by one.

"These guys are like monkeys. They are not ordinary Japanese soldiers. But you want to escape? It's impossible."

Zhao Tiezhu saw clearly through a telescope that many Japanese soldiers jumped down from the building by pulling ropes. Ordinary Japanese soldiers probably did not have this ability.

Under Zhao Tiezhu's command, six armored vehicles led more than 20 jeeps and rushed forward quickly. The tanks were also moving forward slowly. On the ground full of construction waste, the tanks could not catch up with the jeeps and armored vehicles.

In addition to their slow movement, the most important problem is that they are too big. Take the gap in front for example, a jeep can pass through at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, but a tank cannot. Unless they blow up the construction debris on both sides, they have to take a detour.

chug chu...

The Japanese soldiers who had just jumped from the building were about to escape when a large number of bullets and artillery shells came from behind them. Of course, they could not retreat in this situation. Exposing their backs to others would be tantamount to giving up their lives.

So when you hear the sound from behind, in addition to taking shelter in the buildings on both sides, the most important thing is to quickly ask the captain for help.

Of course, there is another request, which is to ask the heavy artillery battalion to stop shelling for the time being. Do they want to blow us to death here together?

"What should the Captain do?"

After receiving the news from the front, the communicator hurried to Colonel Kawasaki's side.

"The heavy artillery battalion will carry out the bombardment as planned. Also, tell Takeshita-kun that we thank them for everything they have done for the empire. The empire will never forget them."

Colonel Kawasaki saw clearly that the troops in front had become inseparable from the 72nd Army. No matter how fast you run, their jeeps and tricycles will be able to catch up with you. In this case, don't even think about running back.

Rather than being continuously killed by the enemy during the retreat, it is better to use you as bait, let the enemy fight with you in this circle, and create opportunities for our heavy artillery battalion.

"Enemy attack..."

Hearing the sound of shells ripping through the air, everyone in the 72nd Army understood that the enemy's heavy artillery must have begun bombarding the area. The people in the three-wheeled sidecars and jeeps rushed towards the nearby tanks at top speed. The rear doors of the tanks were already open. Although they couldn't fit many people inside, they still took as many as they could...

Tanks and heavy armored vehicles can withstand it. As long as the shells are not hit from above, the damage to us will not be very great. However, jeeps and three-wheeled sidecars are not as good.

Some soldiers didn't have time to rush in, so they kicked the door shut and quickly crawled to the bottom of the tank.

At the same time, hit the bottom of the tank hard. There is also a passage at the bottom of the tank. After pulling it open, people can get up.

The Japanese heavy artillery battalion was exposed again, and Zhao Tiezhu immediately ordered the Air Force to attack. Our artillery should not be idle either, and their heavy artillery battalion must be eliminated. In terms of artillery, we must have an advantage and fight them one by one if they appear.

"Yoshi..."

Seeing the thick smoke rising in front of him, Colonel Kawasaki touched his beard happily.
