Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 281 Li Yunlong and Ding Wei Arrive at Wangjia Village and Surrounded the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army
The Japanese attack position.

Masao Nishiyama, the old devil, was still watching the attack the whole time, but the smoke blocked his sight, so the old devil didn't know what happened at the front.

In his view, without the threat of artillery this time, the attacking imperial army would surely be able to easily attack the forward position of the independent battalion, and then defeat it like a broken bamboo.

Therefore, the long-lost smile bloomed on the old devil's face again.

But soon, the smile on Nishiyama Masao's face froze, replaced by an expression like seeing a ghost.

Because through the thin smoke, he found in astonishment that many soldiers of the imperial army seemed to be running back from the frontier battlefield in panic.

Masao Nishiyama thought that he had misjudged his vision, so he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then saw that more soldiers of the imperial army were running out of the smoke continuously.

"Baga! What's the situation? Could it be that the independent battalion has resisted the imperial army's attack again?"

Speaking of this, Nishiyama Masao seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Tanks, where are the tanks of the Imperial Army? Where are they?"

Nishiyama Masao immediately thought of anti-tank mines, but soon he shook his head and denied his guess, because the gap between the two attacks was very short, and the independent battalion would not have time to deploy anti-tank mines.

What's more, he was monitoring the whole process.

If we talk about opportunities, it is only during the time when the smoke bombs are released, but this is only less than 10 minutes, and anti-tank mines are different from other mines, theoretically it is too late.

Even if the independent battalion deployed ahead of time, it was impossible, because Nishiyama Masao knew very well how much movement the anti-tank mine explosion caused.

There was no such violent explosion just now.

Unable to understand and unable to accept this failure, Masao Nishiyama immediately walked out quickly with a gloomy face and a saber in his hand.

Seeing this, the Chief of Staff Ichiro Tada quickly followed up with a small group of guards.

Soon, Nishiyama Masao came to the front of the defeated army, and reached out to stop them.

"Who can tell me, what happened just now? Why did you lose again?"

"Also, what about the imperial army's tanks? Why didn't any of them come back? Could it be that you abandoned the tanks and fled by yourself?"

No wonder Nishiyama Masao was so angry. In fact, tanks are extremely important to his 4th Brigade and even the entire First Army.

Every time one is damaged, it is a huge loss for him.

The leading ghost captain didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency, the head of the brigade, the tanks of the imperial army were destroyed by the China Tuba Road. Enter."

Hearing this, Nishiyama Masao suddenly showed an expression of disbelief: "What are you talking about? All the tanks of the imperial army were destroyed by the China Tuba Road? Could it be that they have anti-war artillery?"

Without waiting for the captain to answer, he shook his head and denied his conjecture: "Impossible, not to mention the poor Chinese who can't even afford food, even Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army may not have anti-war artillery! "

Captain Guizi drooped his head, and replied weakly: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, it's not a battle anti-aircraft gun..."

"It's not a battle anti-aircraft gun, what is that?"

Captain Guizi thought in his heart, Your Excellency, brigade commander, you should listen to me.

Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say so, but replied truthfully: "It's a Molotov cocktail. China Tubalu used the Molotov cocktail to destroy the Imperial Army's tank."

"Molotov cocktails? Are you saying that China Tubalu destroyed the Imperial Army's tanks with Molotov cocktails? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Masao Nishiyama looked disbelieving.

Captain Guizi: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the situation is indeed as reported by the subordinates, and the China Tuba Road did use Molotov cocktails to destroy the tanks of the imperial army.

I don't know what they put in those glass bottles. Those fireworks actually ignited the imperial army's tanks, and turned them into a pile of wreckage in the end. "

Masao Nishiyama turned his head to look at the other devils, and the rest of them nodded repeatedly, and they opened their mouths to testify for the captain: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, China Tubalu indeed used Molotov cocktails to destroy the Imperial Army's tanks."

If one person said that, Nishiyama Masao might not believe it yet, but if so many people said that, he couldn't help but not believe it.

At this time, the Chief of Staff Tada Ichiro next to him said, "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, before this, although there was no example of a tank being destroyed by a Molotov cocktail, the Imperial Army had never conducted a similar confrontation experiment.

Therefore, the possibility that Molotov cocktails can be used against tanks is not ruled out.

Moreover, this matter is of great importance. If Molotov cocktails can really deal with tanks, we must report this matter to prevent other imperial troops from knowing about this situation and thus suffer a disadvantage in the hands of the Chinese army! "

"Of course, what the specific situation is, we will know after the smoke clears."

Masao Nishiyama nodded heavily, agreed with Tada Ichiro's proposal, and then led the defeated army towards the attack position.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, bursts of violent explosions suddenly came from the direction of the rear attack position, mixed with fierce gunshots and shouts of killing.

"Baga! What's going on?"

Masao Nishiyama looked bewildered, he didn't understand why there was gunfire in the direction of the attack position, and the independent battalion took the initiative to attack?
This is clearly not possible.

For one thing, the Independent Battalion did not have the strength to take the initiative, and the Second Company did not have the time and space to take the initiative.

Not long after, a devil Shaozuo officer hurried over and explained Masao Nishiyama's doubts: "Report to your Excellency, brigade commander, something is wrong. A large number of the Eighth Route Army came from behind us, at least one brigade's strength. They not only There are many, and the weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, and we also have a lot of artillery, we have been surrounded."

Hearing this, Nishiyama Masao immediately said in disbelief: "Nani? The main force of the Eighth Route Army came from the rear of the imperial army and surrounded us?"

"The nearest new regiment is 80 kilometers away from Wangjia Village, and it takes 180 kilometers to go back and forth. How could they come here in such a short time?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Guizi Shaozuo: "My subordinates don't know why the main force of the Eighth Route Army of China was able to kill them in such a short period of time, but this is indeed the case."

Masao Nishiyama had a gloomy face, thought for a while, and asked again: "How many troops do we have right now?"

Major Guizi glanced at the defeated army following Masao Nishiyama, thought for a while and said, "The specific statistics are not yet available, but there should be no more than 3000 people, including the wounded."
