Chapter 12: Repelling the Japanese Army's First Attack

"Baka!"

Nakajima Kengo waved his Command Sword in anger, slashing wildly.

He had already prepared for the infantry assault to encounter firepower from the National Revolutionary Army.

However, the Firepower Points at the ends of the street.

Were mercilessly reaping the lives of the Imperial Warriors, on this street without any cover.

When the Imperial Warriors charged, they were just living targets for the enemy.

Yu Hua saw the doors and windows of the civilian houses at the ends of the street being torn apart by the Japanese artillery fire.

"Whew, whew, whew!!"

"Infantry advance, we can engage the National Revolutionary Army in hand-to-hand combat."

Until the doors and windows of the civilian houses at the ends of the street were completely blown apart.

The Imperial Army would crush the bones of the Republic of China troops and carry out a one-sided massacre.

The second ambush, the battlefield had not yet been cleared.

However, the treatment of the 16th Division was much better than that of the Sichuan Army.

He made full use of the strengths and weaknesses of both armies.

"As long as we blow up the doors and windows on both sides of the street."

Seeing Wei Dayong say this.

This was very disadvantageous for Yu Hua.

Causing the Imperial troops to lose their artillery advantage.

Following closely behind were the Japanese Grenadier Squads.

"Platoon Leader, I am a bit slow."

The Sichuan Army was famously poor throughout the country, while the 16th Division of the Central Army where Wei Dayong belonged.

Yu Hua was somewhat surprised that Wei Dayong actually wanted to follow him.

"To be blocked by these two platoons of National Revolutionary Army stragglers!"

"Wei Dayong, call two more machine gunners, take the Machine Guns and come with me."

"Stay calm, do not move around carelessly."

After the six Grenade Launchers were ready, Yang Jun issued the order to attack.

This was the only reason the six Light Machine Guns remained intact under the Japanese artillery bombardment.

"After getting on the roof, blow them to hell."

The doors and windows of the civilian houses on both sides of the street were all blocked off.

Wei Dayong saw that there were still a few wounded Japanese soldiers moving on the street.

This resulted in Yu Hua being unable to exchange for new Weaponry for now.

The position first bombarded by the Japanese Mortars.

Yang Jun brought the six Grenade Launchers to the top of the three-story Western-style house.

Conversely, the enemy could use sturdy bunkers to fire at the Imperial Warriors.

The Japanese still had over one hundred and twenty men.

The soldiers of the two platoons also had less than half their ammunition left.

The Japanese artillery opened fire.

He saw Yu Hua not far from his side, and Wei Dayong ran over in a half-crouch.

Yu Hua had to be calculating and save ammunition.

Wei Dayong put away the Czech Light Machine Gun, retreated a bit, and hid behind a Sandbag.

Right now, the Japanese soldiers were pushing forward; once the Japanese entered the street, they would throw Hand Grenades into the civilian houses.

"We beat back the charging Japanese."

He sat down with a thud!

"Hahaha..."

"The rest of the brothers, listen up, after the Grenade Launchers finish firing their Grenades."

"Every unit is suffering heavy casualties, you are an Old Soldier."

"In the future, when fighting the Japanese, use your brain more."

"Aim at the Japanese and hit them hard!"

Hashimoto Jiro also let out a long sigh.

Because, ever since exchanging for the Type 41 Mountain Gun, the Golden Bowl had gone on strike, and the number of times he could exchange for weapons was limited.

"I refuse to believe that the Imperial Army's blade."

The shells fired by the Mortars tore through the sky, emitting a piercing sound wave in the air.

"Yang Jun, concentrate our Grenade Launchers immediately and get onto the roof of the Western-style house for me."

The power of the Grenades fired by the Grenade Launchers was no less than that of the Mortars.

Patting Wei Dayong on the shoulder, Yu Hua let out a long sigh, "Dayong, remember this."

"We will make them so disoriented they won't know north from south."

"But, Platoon Leader... from now on, I will fight the Japanese with you."

"You come with me."

"Nakajima-kun."

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the 16th Division shouted one after another.

Sweeping across the Imperial Army soldiers on the street from top to bottom.

Seeing Yu Hua looking at him, Wei Dayong scratched his head in embarrassment.

For the troops of the Republic of China, there was a lack of heavy weapons.

Once a Machine Gun finishes a magazine, the firing position must be changed.

It was the very room where the Sichuan Army and the 16th Division had set up their Machine Gun just moments ago.

Because once you enter the street, whether it is from the front or the back.

"Once the devils lose their heavy weapons, aren't they just lambs waiting to be slaughtered?"

"Conserve ammunition, cease fire!"

"You say how to fight the devils; this difficulty is a bit high."

The enemy troops were ambushed on both sides of the street, leaving the Imperial Army infantry with nowhere to hide while firing.

"It's only exciting to fight the devils with the Platoon Leader."

"Dayong!"

"Platoon Leader Yu!"

This was clearly the enemy troops carrying out a massacre of the Imperial Army!

Upon hearing this, Nakajima Kengo nodded, "Yoshi!"

This battle brought them a great deal of confidence.

The roof of this small Western-style house was very flat, making it very suitable for setting up a Grenade Launcher.

A few wounded devils let out a wail, and then their lives were extinguished.

"It's truly satisfying to fight the devils with you."

But!

The commander opposite them had chosen urban warfare directly.

Hearing this, Yu Hua grinned.

They would all be met with enemy firepower strikes.

Although they were not Principal's direct subordinates.

Seeing that there was still sporadic gunfire, Yu Hua shouted.

Now that the devils' first attack had been repelled.

The Sichuan Army did not have much ammunition to begin with.

"You saw today's Ambush as well."

It turned out they could also fight the devils one-on-one.

It was a bit like the new era's Anti-Addiction System for minors on the internet; once the limit is reached, one cannot continue to go online.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

The devils' Mortar and Grenade Launcher squads began to bombard the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street.

This time, in the face-to-face confrontation with the little devils, they did not conduct an Ambush.

Fortunately, Yu Hua had given the order.

"It's a deal, Platoon Leader!" Wei Dayong nodded, "Even if you drive me away, I won't leave."

"Hashimoto, let's do as you say!"

Inside the street!

The little devils left behind another fifty or so corpses and retreated to the side, looking dejected.

"They also adopted the method of filling the gaps with human lives."

"I think we can have the Mortar bombard the doors and windows of the Republic of China troops."

"Good lad!"

The little devils' artillery fire finally stopped.

If they were to engage in a field battle one-on-one with the Imperial Army.

"The little devils are no different from us."

After the first wave of the Ambush annihilated an Infantry Platoon of devils.

The soldiers of the two platoons also captured the devils' weapons and ammunition.

The artillery shells slammed down, trailing long tails of flame.

The six Grenade Launchers on the roof fired Grenade, which smashed down toward the charging devil soldiers.

Outside the street!

Hashimoto Jiro put down his Telescope.

"I'm not going back to the 16th Division!"

"The little devils are also born of mothers; they aren't invulnerable to blades or bullets."

This time!

The little devils' artillery fire was extremely fierce.

He had finally figured it out.

Four Mortars and 18 Grenade Launchers bombarded in turns.

He grabbed a Czech-style machine gun and fired in bursts!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!! —"

"Everyone stay low and wait for the devils' shelling to end."

This made it very difficult for the Imperial Army warriors to break into the rooms.

Many soldiers were very happy, especially the routed soldiers of the 16th Division.

"Fire all the grenades, don't leave a single one."

Flanking fire is extremely difficult for the warriors of the Imperial Army.

After issuing the order, the soldiers of the two Platoons took their respective positions.

"Our troops are gathered in the Songhu Region."

"These little devils are just like they're made of mud."

"These devils don't have three heads and six arms."

"Facing the sea, land, and air firepower of the devils, every unit's officer."

Following the orders of Nakajima Kengo and Hashimoto Jiro.

"The little devils have retreated."

"Whew, whew, whew!! ——"

This person is also very cunning.

Yu Hua patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder, "It's a deal!"

"Our heavy weapons are not as good as the little devils', but, in terms of light weapons."

The commander of the Republic of China Army on the opposite side... is a very excellent officer.

Bursts of explosions rang out, and the little devils were screaming in agony from the blasts.

On the street, there were many charging Japanese Army soldiers, and the Grenade Launchers provided large-area covering bombardment, which achieved good results.
