Chapter 117: Tight-Fisted

Yu Hua's Reinforced Company is able to communicate directly with Marshal Liu.

This was specially permitted by Marshal Liu.

Regarding the Ambush at the herringbone fork in the road, Marshal Liu is clear on the entire course of the battle.

"Gentlemen, the troops participating in this Ambush include the Reinforced Company under Yu Hua's command."

"This battle result is indeed authentic."

Marshal Liu looked at everyone and grinned, saying: "You all know about this kid Yu Hua without me having to say anything."

Every single plane was like this!

"At the same time, contact the Imperial Army's Army Aviation, mobilize planes, and bomb the Sichuan Army for me."

After Division Commander Liu finished speaking about the movements on the Xinkou Battlefield, he also clarified them to Deng Xihou.

"What happened?"

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" Yu Hua walked forward.

"Well said!" Deng Xihou nodded, "This Yan Laoxi."

However, no one was moving on the ground.

"My family is shipping a batch of anti-aircraft weapons to our Sichuan Army, which will arrive in a few days."

"According to our reconnaissance, although Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army has blocked the devils' offensive."

Yan Laoxi of the 2nd War Zone still adopts the tactic of spreading out in a single line for defense.

"However, the little devils are now conducting a double-sided envelopment, preparing to surround Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army."

After reading this plan, Yan Laoxi highly approved of it.

In an instant, a piercing sound wave tore through the sky.

"Think about it, everyone!"

"Order the troops."

He felt a bit of aversion to it!

An enraged Hashimoto Ryuji was jumping with fury in the command post.

The Sichuan Army sounded the air defense alarm.

Before the devils' planes arrived over Donghui Town.

From the Baozhou Airport in Yi Province, twenty-four of the devils' planes took off and headed straight for the Sichuan Army.

Division Commander Liu grinned and said: "This Yan Laoxi is just stingy."

Everyone began to extinguish the fires, rescue the wounded, and repair the combat fortifications.

Provide Yan Laoxi with a defense plan for the Xinkou Battlefield and the Niangziguan Battlefield.

He adjusted the strategic offensive direction and placed the focus of the attack on the Nanhua direction.

In the Sichuan Army Command, Division Commander Liu, Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, and others were discussing the upcoming war.

They felt that this plan was much more complete than any previously formulated by the 2nd War Zone.

Sun Zhen, standing to the side, let out a long sigh: "I see this battle having to be fought at night."

Majiacun!

Hashimoto Ryuji received the news that the Fujita Battalion had been completely wiped out.

"Baka!"

Marshal Liu also had various news media in Sichuan Province vigorously publicize the 22nd Group Army's battles in Jin Province.

In Donghui Town!

"Advance toward Donghui Town with all your might."

This kid is the lucky general of the Sichuan Army; he fought a bloody battle in Songhu and established the military prestige of the Sichuan Army.

"Plus, it is also a very good location for an Ambush."

After the air defense alarm sounded.

Everyone knows that Yu Hua has always only taken advantage and never suffered a loss.

However, as a native of Jin Province.

This made Hashimoto Ryuji's mood very unpleasant.

According to our reconnaissance, the Hashimoto Detachment is currently located in the Majiacun area.

He loves to use his brain when fighting the devils!

Seeing the Sichuan Army generals fall silent for a moment, Marshal Liu continued: "The Reinforced Company in Yu Hua's hands."

When Wei Lihuang received this plan, he also approved of the defensive methods within it.

However, some officers in Jin Province did not believe the battle results of the 22nd Group Army.

Once the troops of Sun Lianzhong and Ceng Wanzhong are split and surrounded by the little devils.

If they don't believe it, they don't believe it; the Sichuan Army didn't care.

This battle was another Ambush, annihilating one devil battalion, with the Sichuan Army suffering over three hundred casualties.

The devil pilots pulled back on their control sticks, drew an arc in the air, and then dove toward Donghui Town.

Just as Wei Lihuang was preparing to make adjustments according to this plan.

"The devils' planes are so powerful, and we lack anti-aircraft weapons; if we start fighting during the day, the casualties will likely be heavy."

Yu Hua stepped forward and pointed at Majiacun with his command stick.

The Nanhua position was subjected to a fierce attack by the little devils.

"If it's during the day, we will suffer a great loss fighting the devils."

When Yu Hua returned to Sichuan Province back then, he specifically told these generals about the New-style Urban Warfare tactics.

The commander of the Japanese aircraft formation ordered low-altitude bombing.

"If there is truly no other way, then we have no choice but to have the brothers build up defensive fortifications."

The Japanese planes arrived over Donghui Town.

For a time, the sky over Donghui Town was filled with the roar of aircraft.

"Commander-in-Chief... Commander-in-Chief..."

The Japanese planes can now only take off from Yi Province.

"The weaponry and ammunition supplies that were promised before."

After bombing for half an hour, the Japanese planes flapped their wings and flew away.

"After annihilating these two armies, the Japanese are rushing toward Yangquan and Pingding to cut off the Zhengtai Railway."

"Everyone knows that they are equipped with German-made MP40 Submachine Guns."

The generals present were also aware of the battle at Dunwu Temple.

Deng Xihou looked at the sky, "Fine!"

Among the troops that entered Jin Province.

Regarding weaponry, Yan Laoxi was stingy toward the Sichuan Army and the 18th Group Army.

This provoked the fury of Hashimoto Ryuji.

He then forwarded it to Wei Lihuang at the Xinkou Battlefield.

Therefore, the Sichuan Army held the advantage in machine gun firepower.

"Where is the Hashimoto Detachment located now?"

"And separate them from Ceng Wanzhong's 3rd Army to encircle and annihilate them."

After Deng Xihou learned of this news.

Regarding the ambush of the Japanese Hashimoto Detachment, Yu Hua had previously suggested fighting at night.

"Hai!" The Japanese Communications Soldier nodded and bowed.

Division Commander Liu informed the Sichuan Army of the Japanese movements in Jin Province.

9th Army Commander Hao Mengling, 54th Division Commander Liu Jiaqi, and 5th Brigade Commander Zheng Tingzhen died for their country.

Sun Zhen's gaze was also filled with coldness.

Among them, Division Commander Liu of the 129th Division also made a special trip to the Sichuan Army's headquarters.

After Yu Hua finished speaking, the Sichuan Army generals were all looking at the map.

Itagaki Seishiro suffered losses in his frontal assault on Xinkou.

"Attention all aircraft, drop all your Aerial Bombs for me!"

Coupled with Yu Hua's Reinforced Company, they possessed over three hundred submachine guns.

"Without Air Superiority, this war is truly frustrating to fight."

"With Jin Jizhong Regiment cooperating from the side, it is entirely possible to annihilate one Japanese battalion."

"After arriving at the 2nd War Zone, Yan Laoxi was evasive and unwilling to give them."

The planes dropped their bombs, and Donghui Town instantly turned into a sea of fire.

The 18th Group Army, however, sent a congratulatory telegram to the Sichuan Army.

"Clearly a wealthy landlord, yet he insists on crying poverty."

"At this critical moment, Yan Laoxi is still damnably excluding the troops that entered Jin Province."

"Vroom vroom vroom!! ——"

A battalion of troops was actually encircled and annihilated by the Sichuan Army.

After Liu Dashuai said this, he thought about it carefully, and it was indeed possible.

The 18th Group Army at the 2nd War Zone's highest military conference.

"Destroy the enemy's defensive fortifications!"

The beggar-like Sichuan Army troops dared to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Adopt horizontal, vertical, and diagonal defenses to block the Japanese advance.

This plan was to fully utilize the terrain advantages of Jin Province to allow the Republic of China troops defending the front.

The common people of Chuan Province naturally believed in the Sichuan Army's combat record.

These tens of thousands of troops really were in danger of being completely annihilated.

The machine gun firepower of the Jin Jizhong Regiment could be considered roughly equivalent to one Japanese battalion.

"This Yan Laoxi, he really is a damn piece of work."

His mood was also very heavy.

Deng Xihou looked at Yu Hua.

"This thing has fierce firepower and a wide coverage area."

Which Sichuan Army general from Chuan Province didn't know Yu Hua?

The firepower was greatly improved; just the Czech Light Machine Guns numbered 28, and there were 9 Maxim Heavy Machine Guns.

The Sichuan Army in Donghui Town immediately entered the air-raid shelters.

"This way, fewer people will die."

"After my Sichuan Army entered Jin Province, we ate our own food and drank our own water, and our weaponry and ammunition were also our own."

Yu Hua then ran in hurriedly.

"We will fight at night; try not to fight the Japanese during the day."

"The defensive fortifications we just finished repairing have now been flattened by the Japanese again."

Only after confirming the Japanese planes had left did the Sichuan Army, hiding inside the air-raid shelters, come out.

"Three hundred Submachine Guns, fire at the unsuspecting Japanese all at once."

They flew at low altitude and discovered that many combat fortifications had been built throughout the entire town.

Yan Laoxi regarding the Sichuan Army, the Central Army, and even the 18th Group Army entering Jin Province.

Regarding this defense plan, Yan Laoxi kept it in his own hands for a full three days.

Deng Xihou shook the dirt off his body and cursed loudly: "Damn it!"

"This Ambush was commanded by him."

Xinkou Battlefield!

It is estimated that by now, they may have already learned the news that the Fujita Battalion, this vanguard unit, was completely annihilated by our Sichuan Army.

The 22nd Group Army has won its first battle.

This is thanks to Yu Hua, who had the Sichuan Army establish air-defense outposts, enabling them to discover Japanese planes coming to bomb in advance.

After Jin Jizhong's Regiment completed their re-equipping.

The planes at Yangmingbao Airport have now been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army 129th Division.

"The 2nd War Zone has provided absolutely no reinforcements."

Thinking about it now, it is completely feasible.

These Submachine Guns can absolutely be used as Machine Guns.

Upon hearing this, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

"With anti-aircraft weapons, we can also beat up Japanese planes."
