The Republic of Heroes

Zhang Zhonglin raised his hand and looked at the time. Everything was going according to plan. The telegram from the artillery positions outside had been sent. Under the cover of night, they managed to avoid the sight of the Japanese army and launched an attack on the unsuspecting Japanese army in the early morning. shelled.

Now it's time for the infantry to play. I believe that with the military level of the Japanese army, the exact location of the artillery position will be found soon.Moreover, it was a plan made early on to give the Japanese army a fatal blow before it reacted.Because only by completely defeating the advance team of the Japanese army, can they gain time to deal with the next larger attack, because all this is just the beginning, and the real test will come later.

"Order, all the troops in the bunker will attack and seize the commanding heights, so as to wipe out the Japanese advance team!"

What the combat staff officer was waiting for was Zhang Zhonglin's words. Before the words hit the ground, he signaled the telegraph operator to send the report quickly. With the sound of ticking, the ground in the county town began to change.The Japanese army in Dongcheng had been in chaos for a long time, and even the organizational system had collapsed.Without systematic command, even the well-trained Japanese army would inevitably become a mass of scattered sand. None of them noticed that dozens of holes suddenly appeared on the broken wall, the city bricks were pushed away from the inside, and groups of light gray military uniforms came out from the inside.Dozens of hundreds of Chinese soldiers in full armor suddenly appeared, and the soldiers of the Sada United Squadron of the Japanese Army who seemed to be headless were stunned.

Da da da……

Hundreds of guns fired at the same time, and the chaotic soldiers of the Sada Regiment fell down in pieces like cut leeks.It wasn't until this time that the Japanese soldiers who reacted quickly realized that the heavily armed soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them were Chinese, and they pulled their guns to prepare to fight back.It was too late, the heavy machine guns of the squadron were like beasts, roaring angrily, breathing out the flames of revenge.The Japanese soldiers were also red-eyed. Their attitudes were completely different between the unknown bombardment and the infantry confrontation.Facing the bombardment of the cannon, they chose to flee blindly to avoid it.But when the enemy is right in front of you, it's just the opposite. No matter how terrifying the opponent's fighting power is, or how disparate the opponent's strength is, they all hold the determination to die, like moths to a flame, roaring against the dense rain of bullets rushed over...

After suppressing the Japanese army, the squadron quickly formed an formation, then advanced along the city wall, and began to eliminate the Japanese army that was preparing to form a resistance group.

Some low-ranking officers of the Sada Regiment suddenly realized that the appearance of Chinese soldiers was definitely not accidental, and letting them enter the city was just a strategy to lure the enemy until they all relaxed their vigilance, and then launched a surprise attack to severely damage the imperial army.Although aware of this, it was too late, and the crisis situation of the Sada United team could not be changed even if Amaterasu came.Because most of the bunkers were built in the direction of Dongcheng, so there were more and more Chinese soldiers, and the firepower became stronger and stronger. The Japanese soldiers who were already in a mess had no power to fight back.

A red sun in the east has risen high, and the battle in Dongcheng is over. Most of the soldiers of the Sada Regiment have turned into corpses lying on the ruined walls, and only a very small number of them have become prisoners.At the same time, the Second Wing of the West City discovered the accident shortly after the battle in the East City, and tried to reinforce it, but was quickly restrained by the Chinese soldiers in the bunkers near the West City.On the other hand, the Chinese soldiers in the east city quickly advanced towards the west city, causing the Japanese army in the west city to be attacked on both sides. Under the attack, they had to give up their intention to reinforce the east city.

However, the command system of the Japanese army in Xicheng was not destroyed. Therefore, after the initial chaos, the combat effectiveness was quickly restored.Therefore, the battle in Xicheng was extremely fierce. As one of the two sharp knives of Okamura Ningji, the Second Attack Wing was extremely powerful. He retreated, and at the cost of nearly half of the casualties, he finally withdrew from the Ye County battlefield.

"What? The Sada Alliance was wiped out?"

Neiji Okamura felt that there was something wrong with his ears. The Sada Regiment was the elite of the Ninth Division. How could it be wiped out?This is not in line with common sense at all!Even during the Battle of Songhu, with the fighting power of the Sada United Team, they may not be wiped out when they encounter the main force of the 57th Division of General China's direct line. If it is said to be severely injured, it is the limit.

"Reconfirm, call Sada United!"

Okamura Ningji issued the order to confirm the news without changing his face. The reply was infinitely bleak. There was no news from the Sada United Unit. The reply to the headquarters was the Second Attack Wing. After the facts, they also suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, the squadron was not in a hurry to chase them down, so they calmly withdrew from the hellish battlefield.

Through sporadic telegrams, Okamura Ningji finally guessed the situation on the Yexian battlefield in the early morning.The lieutenant general, who was full of ambition before dawn, still had no expression on his face at this time. His subordinates couldn't see what he was thinking, but some people could not hold back their anger and were ready to request to fight.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, let our wing take on the attack mission!"

"In my opinion, the imperial army should ignore the tiny land of Ye County and quickly move into Jinan to strike at the center of General China..."

Okamura Ningcihuo got up and interrupted his subordinates with a wave.

"General Zhina must be of the same generation, and Ye County must be taken. Otherwise, if it advances lightly, the Imperial Army's retreat may be cut off at any time, and the landing operation will become meaningless."

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General's words are reasonable, but if too much time is spent in Ye County, the sudden advantage of the Imperial Army choosing to land here will be lost, and the meaning of making a feint at Zhuqiao will also be lost... In this way, we Are we going to repeat the mistakes of Songhu?"

Neiji Okamura looked deeply at Yuichi Honma, the captain of the co-leader, who was questioning him. His family ancestor was a daimyo in the Tokugawa period, and he was highly valued for supporting the emperor during the Meiji period. Instinctive pride, it is also reasonable to be dissatisfied with the lieutenant general commander who was born as a grassroots and humiliated.He snorted twice and asked:

"How should our army act, Captain Yimotoma?"

Unexpectedly, Honma Yuichi replied arrogantly: "Naturally, we will take Ye County with all our strength, and then go straight to Jinan with lightning speed!"

All the officers booed for a while, and for a long time he made shocking remarks and humiliated the Shangguan just to win the job of storming Ye County.It should be noted that even if Ye County can wipe out the Sada United by surprise after a night of bombardment, it does not mean that it can fight against the elite of the Imperial Army who are fighting with all their strength. He was just trying to pick up a ready-made bargain!
