Chapter 250: Die-hard Confidant

The 6th Division!

Tani Hisao, inside the command post, had just taken medicine from a medic!

Now, hearing that the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment had more troops coming from the rear.

He was so enraged that he shouted again: "Baka!"

"What on earth is going on here?!"

"How has this Sichuan Army unit become so difficult to fight?!"

However, anger aside, Tani Hisao still issued orders!

He ordered one Infantry Regiment of the Kunisaki Detachment to be responsible for blocking, while simultaneously dispatching a small number of Type 92 Infantry Guns.

But, 3rd Battalion Commander Luo Cheng did not intend to retreat!

He wanted to hold his position!

After completing the previous shelling, he immediately relocated the artillery position.

When the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment concentrated the fire of their mortars and Type 92 Infantry Guns.

"Besides!"

It was already empty!

Having had their coordinates obtained by the Sichuan Army again, it was estimated that they would soon be destroyed by the Sichuan Army!

They also lost some artillery pieces!

The front line!

"We cannot retreat!"

"We will suffer a huge loss!"

Now they were being bombarded by the little devils' Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars.

Since Luo Cheng would not leave, then let him provide cover!

"Move!"

"Order all battalion commanders to lead their troops to retreat immediately!"

The little devils' commanders also concentrated their Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars.

"Banzai!!"

Moreover, the opponent had eight Type 41 Mountain Guns, which gave Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru a massive headache.

Their artillery could hit the devils' artillery positions, those Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars belonging to the devils' regiment.

The little devils' infantry, under the cover of artillery fire, launched a fierce attack on Niu Yuzhai's position again!

Under this attack, Niu Yuzhai felt immense pressure.

His regiment's casualties were somewhat severe, and deep down, Niu Yuzhai already had the thought of greasing his heels and slipping away.

"Warriors of the Empire, the moment to achieve merit has arrived!"

The commander brandished the military saber in his hand and lunged toward Luo Cheng's position.

"Does he, Rao Guohua, dare?!"

"Charge..."

"Without his orders, anyone who dares to retreat will be shot!"

To thoroughly defeat the two Sichuan Army divisions that had ambushed him!

It must be said!

Even relying on Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars, the little devils still dealt a blow to the front-line positions of the Rao Guohua Division!

Causing no small amount of losses!

The 6th Division's Type 41 Mountain Guns were just like the previous Republic of China Army.

He glanced at the Communications Soldier: "Xiao Wang!"

They were at a disadvantage in numbers, unable to compare to the little devils' one division plus one brigade.

At present, a Sichuan Army force of over ten thousand men had appeared in the rear.

However, because these two types of guns were too light, the devils would slip away after firing two shells.

Zhou Xun's Mountain Artillery Battalion had tried several times to take out the devils' Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars.

Adopting small-scale shelling, they dared not conduct large-scale bombardment at all.

By the time the artillery battalion's Observation Soldier observed the coordinates, the little devils' artillery position.

Launched a carpet-bombing attack on the front-line positions of the Rao Guohua Division.

The little devils' Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars had already far surpassed the Rao Guohua Division and Division Commander Liu Zhaoli!

One little devil Infantry Regiment;

Possessed 24 mortars.

Luo Cheng was originally from the Rao Guohua Division, not his subordinate.

Because the Sichuan Army still had a Mountain Artillery Battalion!

"If that kid Luo Cheng likes to keep holding on, let him hold on!"

Niu Yuzhai shouted: "The whole regiment, retreat!"

That was something he was very good at; by relying on flattery, he successfully rose to the rank of Regimental Commander!

The artillery battalions of the two Sichuan Army divisions relocated after the shelling.

"The Division Commander specifically emphasized this to us before the war started!"

Niu Yuzhai was specifically planted in the Rao Guohua Division by Tang Shizun!

This was Tang's die-hard confidant!

At this moment, Niu Yuzhai's Regiment, after the previous round of hand-to-hand combat with the devils.

These two old devils are now also afraid; once the Type 41 Mountain Guns belonging to the Infantry Regiment are concentrated.

When Niu Yuzhai led the troops to retreat, the Sichuan Army's defensive line immediately showed signs of loosening!

The little devils charging down the mountain also noticed this situation!

Naturally, they could also hit the Sichuan Army's Artillery Battalion; in order to prevent retaliatory shelling from the devils' artillery.

Xiao Wang heard this!

And the Type 92 Infantry Guns and Mortars of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment!

The quantity of the entire division is sufficient; this batch of artillery was also well utilized by the little devils' commanders.

Regimental Commander Niu Yuzhai, who was guarding the first-line position!

This Niu Yuzhai has no other skills, but he is good at flattery and bootlicking.

Plus, the Artillery Battalions of the two divisions, the Rao Guohua Division and the Liu Zhaoli Division.

"Once we retreat, if the devils occupy the position!"

After shelling the Sichuan Army's first-line position, they immediately shifted their artillery positions to avoid retaliation from the Sichuan Army's Mountain Guns.

They discovered it was a weak point in the Sichuan Army's defense; as long as they could gain a firm foothold on the mountaintop.

They only dispatched one battalion to conduct a symbolic defense.

Tani Hisao could guarantee that he, relying on half a division plus one brigade.

The 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were also very short of 75mm Mountain Guns and Field Guns.

Niu Yuzhai glared at Xiao Wang and said coldly: "Hurry up and convey the order for me!"

Even if some Infantry Regiments still had a few remaining Type 41 Mountain Guns, they now dared not use them in large-scale concentrations.

However, all in all, the Type 92 Infantry Guns and Mortars of the two Sichuan Army divisions.

The Type 92 Infantry Guns and Mortars are small and light, making them very easy to relocate!

"It just so happens that it can cover our retreat!"

Right now!

"The Sichuan Army opposite is no match for the might of our Imperial Army!"

The range of these German-made Bofors Mountain Guns is further than the Type 41 Mountain Guns.

At that time, Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru did not expect that reinforcements would arrive later.

"Shoot me?!"

Because the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were in the rear.

"Charge!!"

And the Artillery Battalions of the two Sichuan Army divisions also started playing mobile artillery warfare.

However, during the relocation, they still encountered retaliatory shelling from the little devils.

This first-line position was identified by the little devils after observation.

"Charge!!"

"Convey the order for me!"

Therefore, when launching an attack on the Sichuan Army's position.

"In this regiment, I have the final say!"

Speaking of this, Niu Yuzhai spat: "Bah..."

Both sides are now fighting a guerrilla war!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang's eyes widened: "Regimental Commander!"

Therefore, the Bofors Mountain Guns can only watch helplessly now.

Anyway, retreating now also requires someone to provide cover!

He had no choice but to nod obediently and go to convey Niu Yuzhai's order.

The little devils' commander was overjoyed: "Yosh!"

Niu Yuzhai learned that Luo Cheng was not leaving, and he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

"Now they have actually started to flee!"

"I am Commander Tang's staunch confidant!"

That makes 12 Type 92 Infantry Guns!

Even though the large-caliber artillery of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment has now been destroyed by the Sichuan Army!

However, these small-caliber artillery pieces still caused significant damage to the Sichuan Army's position.

After all, the artillery units of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment were destroyed by the Sichuan Army.

"Everyone, move faster!"

After the three Battalion Commanders received Niu Yuzhai's order, the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion planned to retreat!

Luo Cheng watched the devils surging up like a tide, and his heart went cold!

"Niu Yuzhai, you son of a bitch!"

"I curse you to a miserable death, and may you have no descendants!"
