Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

The Japanese regiment commander hid in a bomb crater. Explosions were heard from time to time, making his ears buzz and his head almost explode.

“Damn it, how could this happen? Why are the firepower of these enemies so fierce?!” The Japanese regiment commander couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t understand why there were not only many enemies ambushing them, but their firepower was even stronger than theirs, leaving them without any chance of fighting back.

"Captain, it's no use. There's no chance to let anyone out!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel also lay beside the Japanese commander, his face full of anxiety.

The enemy was staring at them, leaving them no chance to escape. Moreover, in just a short while, at least half of them were killed or injured.

"The enemy's overall shooting skills are also very accurate. They are definitely not an ordinary force!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel continued. Judging from the casualties on their side, the enemy's shooting skills were very accurate.

At close range, their soldiers could not gain any advantage at all.

"Qikexiu, damn it, how could this happen? Apart from that Northeast Army, no other people should have such strong combat effectiveness!" The Japanese regiment commander gritted his teeth in anger, his heart filled with fear.

The enemy had trained such a powerful force silently.

On the other side, Zhao Gang also asked the bugler to prepare to blow the charge.

When the last round of shelling was about to end.

"Fire flares, put on bayonets, and blow the charge!" Zhao Gang gave an order, and the nearby soldiers took out their bayonets and mounted them on their guns, and more of them took up machetes.

huh~~~
A flare was launched to a height of one thousand meters. Its bright light illuminated the area. People from miles away could see the flare that looked like a small sun.

“Drip drip ...

As the charge was sounded, the last round of shelling ended.

The soldiers took advantage of the fact that the Japanese had not yet recovered and rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese.

"kill!!!"

"Kill these bastards!!!"

The soldiers roared one by one, like tigers, with great momentum, and the roar alone was enough to scare the Japanese soldiers.

Ding ding ding…………

The soldiers rushed to the target in just a few seconds, even though the distance was dozens of meters. They engaged in battle with the Japanese.

puff!
A Japanese soldier was slashed on the neck by a soldier. A cut appeared on the neck and blood gushed out. Finally, the soldier fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Although the Japanese lost the initiative, their combat effectiveness is still there. In a one-on-one situation, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment are no match for the Japanese, but they have more people and can cooperate with each other.

In comparison, the soldiers of the special warfare regiment were much more fierce. In a one-on-one situation, they almost overwhelmed the Japanese and then were killed by a bayonet.

However, the special forces members who fought against the Japanese were almost all new recruits, while the veterans watched from behind.

"Battalion Commander, do we really not need to take action?!" A soldier looked at the Fourth Battalion Commander Tang Qingshan and asked, he was a little worried.

"The commander has given an order that we old soldiers are not allowed to take action in a bayonet fight. Only the new recruits can do it. They must have experienced close combat." Tang Qingshan said with a serious face.

Although these recruits have fought the Japanese before, there is a difference between killing the enemy at close range and killing the enemy at a distance. Without experiencing real fighting, it is impossible to become a true elite soldier.

They had been through this before. Only by killing the enemy at close range could they feel the passing of life. It also made the soldiers understand that on the battlefield, it was a life-and-death struggle, and if they didn't fight hard, they would really die.

"But I'm still a little worried." The soldier looked towards the battlefield, frowning, but the recruits would suffer casualties.

"They will always have to go through this. We can't keep an eye on them all the time." Tang Qingshan looked calm. He was also a man who had been through many battles and could understand why the commander would give such an order.

Of course, having said that, Tang Qingshan still gave orders to the veterans to keep their guns on the battlefield and to lend a hand if any soldier was in danger and shoot the devils to death.

Soon, Chief of Staff Zhong also brought people to join the battle. They could not be left out in this kind of situation.

The bayonet fight was over in less than ten minutes, and all the Japs on the battlefield were killed.

"Hurry, clean up the battlefield!" Zhao Gang gave the order hastily, his face stained with blood. Before coming to the New 1st Regiment, his close combat had always been a weakness, but after coming to the New 1st Regiment, his combat skills improved a lot.

"Damn it, Political Commissar, you're rushing too fast." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian ran to Zhao Gang and said.

"Really?! Aren't they all charging forward with the soldiers?" Zhao Gang disagreed.

"That's because I led the men following you." Deputy Captain Qian was a little helpless for a moment. If he hadn't led the men to follow Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang would have almost been out of touch with the team. He was simply killing like crazy.

"Old Qian, there won't be a next time." Zhao Gang smiled awkwardly when he heard that.

"Political Commissar, I have to say, you are really awesome! You don't look like a scholar at all!" Deputy Regimental Commander Qian gave a thumbs up and praised him.

"It really lives up to the old saying, 'A man of letters can bring peace to the world with his writing, and a man of martial arts can decide the outcome of the world on foot!'" Deputy Head Qian continued to praise, and he spoke these words from the heart.

"It's not that great." Zhao Gang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"Political Commissar." At this time, Tang Qingshan and others also came over.

"What happened just now?!" Zhao Gang was a little confused. Tang Qingshan and those old soldiers did not participate in the fight.

He dared to say that if these people participated, the battle would be over faster.

"The commander said that this is a chance for the new recruits to gain experience. Opportunities like this are rare." Tang Qingshan responded.

"So it was Li Jin who gave the order. No wonder." Zhao Gang nodded. He wondered why these old soldiers didn't take action.

"Hurry up and take the bodies of the soldiers with you, it's time to retreat!" Tang Qingshan said, the regiment commander was still waiting for them.

"Yes." Zhao Gang also gave the order, asking them to take away the spoils, as well as the wounded and sacrificed soldiers.

.........

On the other side, Li Jin, Li Yunlong and his men were on their way there.

"Old Tang, when the bayonet fight comes, you old soldiers are not allowed to fight. Let the new soldiers do it." Li Jin took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Tang Qingshan. "Understood!" Tang Qingshan agreed decisively without saying anything more.

"When necessary, let the veterans keep a close eye and lend a hand if the new recruits are in danger." Li Jin hesitated and said.

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Li Jin found that Li Yunlong was staring at him.

"Captain, why are you looking at me like that?!" Li Jin asked puzzledly.

"You really dare to give orders, aren't you worried that the new recruits will suffer heavy casualties?!" Li Yunlong couldn't help asking.

"There's no other way. In their current state, they are not truly elite soldiers, so they have to go through this." Li Jin was also somewhat helpless. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want this to happen.

In fact, compared to many recruits, the soldiers of the special operations regiment are already much luckier. They have been training for a long time and have combat experience before experiencing real battles. Compared with those recruits who have only trained for a few days and are about to go to the battlefield, they are really much better.

"Yes, that's true. Only through real fighting can we grow quickly. That is to say, the veterans on my side are not as good as yours. Otherwise, I would like them to not take action and let the new recruits solve it." Li Yunlong also agreed with what Li Jin said.

The veterans of the New 1st Regiment are not on the same level as those of the Special Operations Regiment. Even now, when the veterans fight with the Japanese in a one-on-one situation, they can only avoid being at a disadvantage for a short time, and they still need to cooperate with others to kill the enemy.

After walking a few miles, we heard explosions in the distance.

"It looks like Lao Zhao and his men have engaged in a fight with the Japanese, but judging by the gunshots, Lao Zhong and his men must have ambushed the Japanese vanguard." Li Yunlong was able to determine the general situation just by listening to the gunshots.

If the Japanese had not sent out the vanguard, there would not be so little gunfire.

"It seems that we don't need to go over to help. Just wait here." Li Jin also said. Since the fight has already started, there is no need for them to go over.

Unless the Japanese invaders coming are not just a regiment, but a brigade, of course, if there are so many Japanese invaders coming, Zhao Gang and his team will contact them for support as soon as possible.

"Hey, Li Jin, according to the current situation, the Japanese have probably sent a lot of troops to surround us. There may be less than one brigade left in Taiyuan. How about we go over and fire a shot?!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but suggest.

Their attack on the Japanese airport has already angered the Japanese. The Japanese will surely come out in full force. Why not take this opportunity to attack Taiyuan?

"No, it's too risky. What if the Japanese don't send people to encircle us, but instead choose to ambush us near Taiyuan? That would be bad." Li Jin shook his head. Attacking Taiyuan was still too risky for them at the moment.

If they were really surrounded by the Japanese, it would cost them a lot to break out, so they couldn't take the risk.

"Yeah, forget it then." Li Yunlong just said this. Of course, if Li Jin really agreed, they could have a fight.

.........

Taiyuan, inside the Japanese operations room.

"Division commander, the troops that went to support us haven't sent a telegram back yet. Could something have happened to them?! There's no news from the airport either." Ban Shangshanfu looked anxious.

He could understand why the airport didn't respond, after all, they were retreating, but when the support troops didn't respond, he really panicked.

"It seems that, yes, the enemy's target is not only the airport, but also the supporting troops!" Itagaki Seishirō finally understood at this moment.

The enemy wanted much more than they thought. Not only did they want to capture their airports and blow up their planes, but they also wanted to annihilate the troops that came to support them.

"Division commander, if that's the case, the enemy would need to mobilize at least tens of thousands of people to do this," said Ban Shangshanfu.

"Well, it seems so. That Northeastern Army must have joined forces with the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at the same time!" Itaheng Seishirō nodded calmly, because even if he was angry now, there was no point.

It has already happened, there is no use getting angry.

"If that's the case, should we continue to send people to chase them? They are retreating in the direction of the mountains. If we chase them into the mountains, will anything happen?!" said Ban Shangshanfu.

If there weren't so many enemies, there wouldn't be much of a problem in pursuit, but the problem was that the enemy probably had a force of over 10,000 people, plus the powerful Northeast Army. He was worried that something unexpected would happen if he sent people to pursue them.

You have to know that they sent tens of thousands of people into the mountains to pursue the Northeast Army. At that time, the Northeast Army, together with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, had only a few thousand people. As a result, the army of tens of thousands was wiped out.

"Pass on my order, let all the troops that have gone out come back, and be prepared for an ambush. The enemy is likely to attack Taiyuan." Itahira Seishiro gave the order immediately.

What he is worried about now is not the airport, but the situation in Taiyuan. The number of enemies is quite large, and there is no guarantee that they will take risks and attack Taiyuan.

Therefore, the priority should be to preserve Taiyuan. If Taiyuan is lost, the empire will lose face. They have occupied Taiyuan for more than two years and have regarded it as theirs. If it is captured by the enemy, how can they face His Majesty the Emperor?

"Division Commander, this group of enemies shouldn't be so bold, right?!" Ban Shangshanfu said. The enemy was already very bold to attack the airport, so they couldn't possibly dare to attack Taiyuan? !

"What do you think?! If the troops that came to support are also annihilated, then we will have lost the combat effectiveness of an entire brigade in one night. We have also sent people out to encircle and suppress them. There is only one brigade of troops in Taiyuan City now. There is no guarantee that they will not really attack us!" Itahira Seishirō analyzed.

The enemy was much bolder than he thought. If he was really careless, what would they do if they failed to hold on once the enemy attacked? !

Even if Taiyuan was taken back later, the face had already been lost.

"The division commander is right. I didn't think it through! I will immediately send a telegram to those troops and ask them to come back." After Ban Shangshanfu said this, he turned around and walked towards the communications room.

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

"Mr. Itachi, there's a small problem here in the Osaka Division. I'm afraid we won't be able to block the enemy's retreat route on time!" The voice of the commander of the Osaka Division came from the phone. He hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak out.

"Those soldiers are finding all kinds of excuses not to take action again, right?! You should kill the chicken to scare the monkeys." Upon hearing this, Itakane Seishirō felt helpless. He should have thought long ago that the Osaka Division was not reliable at all.

Even if the division commanders were replaced several times, it would be impossible to let this unit go to fight, because those soldiers would always have various excuses.

"Mr. Itachi, they didn't use excuses this time. There really was a problem. Many soldiers were vomiting and having diarrhea, as if they had food poisoning. They were almost fainting and couldn't even hold their guns." said the Osaka division commander.

If he had not seen with his own eyes the soldiers vomiting and having diarrhea, he would have suspected that they were pretending.

"Have you asked the military doctor to check it?!" Itahira Seishiro frowned, obviously still a little unconvinced.
