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

Chapter 854: Japan's Offensive Suffers Setback

At this moment, the infantry battalion located at the railway station was subjected to the most fierce attack by the Japanese army in Tianjin, and even 105mm heavy artillery was used.

All the brothers hid in the tall buildings around the train station, but they did not expect the Japanese to use heavy artillery first.

"Are there any heavy artillery nearby?"

Battalion Commander Chu didn't care about the casualties of his brothers and shouted out his problems to the combat staff.

"Contacting the First Artillery Regiment."

The 3rd Infantry Division has a total of two artillery regiments. The 2nd Artillery Regiment is still on the way, and the 1st Artillery Regiment has been dispersed around Tianjin City, but its location is unknown. This is also to protect the artillery.

"After we make contact, hit them hard. If we don't destroy the enemy's heavy artillery brigade, we won't be able to hold the train station."

Captain Chu said loudly that a building in the distance had collapsed again, and there were more than a dozen of our brothers inside, and they were in great danger now.

"Battalion Commander, the Japs are coming."

There are a few fewer heavy artillery shells here, and traces of Japanese devils appeared in the northeast direction. It seems that there are at least eight or nine hundred of them.

"Call me."

At a command from Captain Chu, the twelve 80mm mortars nearby began firing, and the Japanese troops charging in the distance instantly felt the impact of the shells.

"No one is allowed to rush out. All vehicles are leaning against the buildings to build a solid defense line. This time we have to hold the train station and attract more devils."

Battalion Commander Chu took the microphone and began to give orders to all the officers and soldiers in the battalion. If they had encountered such a situation in the past, the battalion's assault team would have set off long ago. With the fast speed of the jeep and the machine guns on board, these eight or nine hundred people were simply not enough to fight.

After experiencing the first round of shelling, the brothers have now stabilized. After the artillery completed two basic bombardments, they quickly carried the gun barrels to other places. The command center also immediately changed its location, as this place would soon be bombarded by the enemy.

The machine gun position on the distant building also began to roar at this moment. More than a dozen 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine guns fired at the Japanese battalion hundreds of meters away. The Japanese hiding behind buildings and other cover were in trouble this time.

Battalion Commander Chu had just moved to a new location. Countless artillery shells fell about a few kilometers to the northeast. This must be our artillery regiment starting a counterattack.

"Contact the reconnaissance aircraft to check the enemy's artillery losses."

About ten kilometers to the left rear, a reconnaissance plane was taking aerial photos. The various troops were currently fighting on their own, so the reconnaissance plane could not respond immediately. After taking the photos, it was quickly sent to the staff department for interpretation. This was much faster than the reconnaissance plane pilots checking them themselves.

Of course, this may take half an hour or even an hour, but in order to take care of the entire army, this is the only way for now.

Colonel Kitahara, the Japanese who was in charge of attacking the train station, had his head full of dust at this moment. A 155mm heavy artillery shell had just exploded next to him, and his guards were covered with shrapnel. Although Colonel Kitahara was pinned under the body in time, his arm was also pierced.

"How about the Heavy Artillery Brigade?"

This guy didn't even bother to look at his wound, and immediately asked about the situation of the heavy artillery brigade. He wanted to attack the train station, but without large-caliber heavy artillery, it would be impossible to accomplish anything.

Now there are only a very small number of people from the 29th Army resisting in various places in Tianjin. Most of them are from the 72nd Army. These people are no joke. They are all from the battlefield in the north, and their weapons are very powerful.

"Hurry up and cover the Colonel's retreat."

Before the combat staff could answer, a wave of soldiers came running in from the periphery. It turned out that more than 30 armored vehicles, including five tanks, rushed out from the south side of the railway station and rushed towards this side with great momentum.

Although the troops responsible for attacking the railway station also had more than ten tanks, half of them had been disabled by the heavy artillery attack just now. Now these tanks bravely rushed out, but the shells hit the tanks of the 72nd Army and had no effect at all. Instead, the tanks of the 72nd Army hit one of our tanks with one shell.

"Why are you panicking? Let the Imperial Warriors come and stop them with their own bodies."

Colonel Kitahara looked at the position of the tank, which was about 2 kilometers away from him. If he ran away now, what impression would he leave on his subordinates?

Before we came here, we had agreed that we must capture the Tianjin Railway Station, and we even signed a military order in front of the commander. But now, a small armored unit is going to retreat?

Under the command of the colonel, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out quickly, with a pack of explosives hanging on their chest and back, and several grenades on both sides of their arms. Their mission was to sacrifice themselves at such a moment and blow up the tank.

But unfortunately, it was too early to rush out. We had to wait for the enemy tanks to come before we had a chance. Now they were more than 1 kilometer away. If we rushed out at this time, we would just become a sitting duck.

Under the watchful eyes of Colonel Kitahara, the dozen or so soldiers who rushed out were all killed by gunfire. The enemy had too many machine guns on their armored vehicles and tanks.

The most terrible thing was that after these soldiers rushed out, more than a dozen jeeps came out from behind the tanks. These jeeps were more flexible than tanks. When there were obstacles in front, the jeeps followed behind the tanks. When enemy soldiers came out, the jeeps were responsible for clearing the way for the tanks.

You, an ordinary soldier, want to exchange a pack of explosives for my tank?

This is absolutely impossible. When we were in the north, Li Shaoyi said that we must create countermeasures against the Japanese tactics. If they succeed, even thousands of our tanks will not be enough to bomb them. The Japanese are making a good deal, but we can never do that.

Seeing that many soldiers had their explosive packs exploded when they were dying, the Japanese soldiers raised their fists and pounded the ground, hoping that these warriors would die together with the tanks. Now the warriors were all dead, but the tanks were still charging towards them at the same speed.

"Your Excellency, we are running out of time. Armored troops are also coming out from the direction of the train station."

Captain Chu didn't know where this force came from, but since it had already produced such a miraculous effect, he couldn't just stand by and watch. He ordered his armored company to attack...
