Chapter 224: Annihilating the Vanguard Detachment of the Tenth Division

At this moment!

The soldiers of the Direct Battalion, all according to the predetermined plan, ambushed these eight hundred Imperial Army soldiers at the preset location.

Eight hundred Imperial Army infantrymen!

They were all light infantry, holding only Type 11 Light Machine Guns and Type 38 Rifles in their hands.

However!

The two Direct Battalions of the 144th Division possessed one hundred MP40 Submachine Guns.

Six German-made MG42 General Purpose Machine Guns.

Of course, this German-made MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun was produced by the Arsenal established with investment from Yu Hua's hometown in Sichuan Province.

The Imperial Army's machine guns began to roar.

"Just understand that!"

They were clamoring one after another, wanting to go home to find their mothers!

The firepower of the Chuan Army increased instantly, which left Yamashita Kazuo bewildered.

After Sun Wanming's Engineer Company pulled the ropes to detonate the Minefield.

"Your battalion, open fire immediately."

Sun Wanming came before Liu Zhangqing: "Battalion Commander Liu, be ready at all times."

"Quickly, speed it up for me, rescue the Regiment Commander."

They had constructed a Circular Fortification, and the firepower was also arranged in tiers, presenting a stepped formation.

The Imperial Army soldiers lying on the ground also raised the rifles in their hands and began to fire at the Chuan Army soldiers on the small highland.

The engineers pulled the ropes!

In an instant!

Explosions erupted on the road!

"Boom... Boom..."

He began to draw his Command Sword to organize the troops.

Deep down, he still felt a bit of worry that the troops led by the Regiment Commander would be defeated by the Republic of China Army.

At this moment, Liu Zhangqing lowered the Telescope in his hand.

Although he had heard about it from the soldiers of the 6th Division while on the fleet.

In addition, the two Direct Battalions possessed two 82mm mortar companies.

Ten minutes later!

Yu Hua called it the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Looking at the engineers, he shouted: "Pull it for me!"

At the same time!

"Wait for my order before opening fire!"

Felt incomparable fear!

In the following few minutes, this entire detachment was annihilated.

He could see the face of this Imperial Army sergeant, jumping up and down, very clearly through the scope.

Yamashita Kazuo saw that another highland had no garrison firing.

Liu Zhangqing was Yu Hua's partner in the Chuan Army and was also a Whampoa graduate.

If Yu Hua found out, he would definitely shout out loud.

"Got it!" Sun Wanming replied.

Battalion Commander Li's troops also began to fire at the Imperial Army soldiers below the road.

Through the scope, Battalion Commander Xing began to search for high-ranking officers among the Imperial Army ranks.

"Blow these bastards to death!"

Now they could take the initiative to fire!

In a split second!

Light machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns, etc., all greeted the bodies of the Imperial Army soldiers.

After a ground-shaking tremor, many of Major Yamashita Kazuo's Imperial Army soldiers were blown straight into the sky.

Of the eight hundred-plus Imperial Army soldiers, at least two hundred were blown away in this one go.

Yamashita Kazuo, who was on the battlefield for the first time.

"Is this the 'beggar army' that the Imperial Army spoke of?!"

Waving the Command Sword in his hand!

Standing on a large rock, jumping up and down, this Imperial Army soldier seemed to think that the Republic of China Army could not see him.

MP40 Submachine Guns could now also be built by the Sichuan Arsenal.

Some Imperial Army soldiers with poor mental fortitude were shouting loudly in the Imperial Army language.

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the head of the Imperial Army sergeant jumping on the large rock was blown open with a large hole.

After Yu Hua arrived at the Seventh War Zone!

He also reported to Marshal Liu, requesting to have Liu Zhangqing transferred over.

Yamashita Kazuo, who had climbed up from the ground, did not have time to wipe his face.

"Bang bang!! ——"

With rich combat experience, Marshal Liu also agreed.

"Move toward the high ground on the left for me!"

"Both Battalions, pay attention."

As for the prisoners, Liu Zhangqing firmly executed the policy of Yu Hua.

The scale of this Arsenal was not the least bit smaller than the Hanyang Arsenal.

"If this is called a beggar army, then how powerful must Principal's Central Army be?!"

Especially the Imperial Army's Type 11 Light Machine Gun; it was simply no match for the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun.

"Da-da-da!! ——"

Only a Japanese sergeant was seen.

"Battalion Commander Li?"

The Japanese machine guns were suppressed very quickly!

A rough look was taken!

He did not discover any high-ranking officers.

The name was designated by Yu Hua as the Type 26 Submachine Gun.

On both sides of the road!

"Listen well, after I have the engineers pull the rope."

He raised the Command Sword in his hand: "All units, attention!"

This was a sniper rifle equipped with an Optical Sight.

Judging by the sound of gunfire and artillery, an Imperial Army regiment had been ambushed by a brigade of the Republic of China Army.

Simp!

In front of Tan Yu, Liu Zhangqing would inquire after her well-being every day.

"I want to go home!"

"When the Japanese move toward your hill, hit them hard again halfway up the slope."

The firepower of the Sichuan Army was extremely fierce, hitting many Japanese soldiers so hard they dared not counterattack.

Furthermore, the snipers of the Sichuan Army targeted the machine gunners specifically.

The combat effectiveness of the Republic of China Army was low, but he had never actually encountered it.

"Good!" Liu Zhangqing patted Sun Wanming on the shoulder: "Pull the rope for me."

The bullets fired from rifles and machine guns were like raindrops.

If Battalion Commander Xing opened fire, that meant the Sichuan Army on the left high ground.

Ten minutes later!

"Occupy the high ground on the left."

The one commanding here was Yu Hua's deputy in the 22nd Group Army... Liu Zhangqing!

Liu Zhangqing cranked the telephone himself, "Hello, hello, hello..."

"Now we are just waiting for your order!"

Yamashita Kazuo stood to the side, shouting loudly.

The cruelty of the battlefield, and the surging blood, made these Japanese who had just stepped onto the Far East Continent.

The Japanese had all entered the minefield.

Nowadays, there was no fighting in the Second War Zone, and Liu Zhangqing spent his days training the new recruits of the Sichuan Army.

Constantly falling upon the Japanese!

For a moment!

In view of the coming war in the Seventh War Zone.

Battalion Commander Li on the right also had his troops open fire across the line.

"Yes!" The Communications Soldier responded and immediately began to contact via telephone.

"Communications Soldier!"

He personally picked up a Mauser 98K.

"Battalion Commander Xing, your battalion must wait until Battalion Commander Li opens fire."

After being attacked, Yamashita Kazuo organized his troops to counterattack.

Yamashita Kazuo urged the warriors of the Imperial Army.

When ambushing Yamashita Kazuo just now, his battalion had hidden half of its firepower.

The Japanese on the hillside now had no place to hide at all.

Yamashita Kazuo was very confused!

After the Sichuan Army's firepower became powerful, the Japanese casualties began to surge.

They hadn't fought with full force at all!

"Baka!"

Five or six hundred Japanese ran toward the left high ground, covering each other!

The order of the troops was relatively intact, and no chaos had occurred.

Through the Telescope, Liu Zhangqing saw the Japanese soldiers fleeing, and he waved his arms happily!

Yamashita Kazuo's battalion was now facing the Sichuan Army, which was a one-sided slaughter.

Under the command of their officers, the Japanese counterattacked while moving toward the small high ground on the left.

With the military commanders killed in action, the Japanese's will to resist became even worse.

A transfer order moved Liu Zhangqing from the Second War Zone to the Seventh War Zone.

At the same time, the little devils' machine gunner also set up a Type 11 Light Machine Gun.

Since his own Arsenal could produce them, the name was changed accordingly.

While commanding his troops, Yamashita Kazuo was riddled with holes by a Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun.

"Issue the order for me."

Now with firepower fully unleashed, they directly battered the devil soldiers on the left hillside until they were crying for their fathers and mothers.

In terms of firepower, the little devils' force of nearly one battalion was completely inferior to the Sichuan Army's two Direct Battalions.

After finishing the phone call!

Liu Zhangqing arrived at the Engineer Company.

Battalion Commander Xing, who was on the high ground to the left, saw the little devils coming up.

As for the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, Yu Hua had exchanged for the blueprints and had the people at the Arsenal produce it.

The Arsenal was spearheaded by foreigners and funded by Yu Hua's hometown, and it was established in Sichuan Province.

"I miss my mommy, I want to find my mommy!"

"Fine!"

"Company Commander Sun, how are the preparations coming along?"

The devil officer commanding this battalion was Major Yamashita Kazuo.

After finishing training, he would run to the field hospital to see Tan Yu and Xixi.

One by one, the devil soldiers saw their companions beside them get hit by bullets and die!

Yu Hua had originally come on Marshal Liu's private plane, but Liu Zhangqing was not so lucky.

Many devils simply threw down their guns and fled!

"Good!"

At this moment!

Yamashita Kazuo led nearly a battalion of troops, and the vanguard force had already entered the Sichuan Army's Minefield.

He came to the 7th War Zone by train!

The massive shockwave also swept Yamashita Kazuo out, and he fell flat on his face.

"It's you!" Battalion Commander Xing grinned coldly.

"Hurry, hurry..."

The two Direct Battalions of the 144th Division each occupied a small high ground.

A dead devil is a good devil!

The Tenth Army landed at Hangzhou Bay, and their vanguard force was basically annihilated by the Sichuan Army.
