Chapter 270: Going to Suffer a Huge Loss

For a moment, Benshan Guisanlang was also stunned by the firepower of the Sichuan Army.

Since when!?

Has the firepower of the Republic of China Army become this fierce?

Moreover, this power is even more formidable than that of an entire Imperial Army battalion!?

"Baka yaro!"

Benshan Guisanlang roared in anger.

"Machine guns!"

"Quickly, counterattack... counterattack..."

From the Matsushita Battalion to the current Benshan Guisansan Battalion, they have all been victims of "lure the enemy to reinforce."

"Make sure you don't blow it up."

After a series of massive explosions.

The whole point was to make the Imperial Army voluntarily walk into the Sichuan Army's ambush circle.

"Adjutant Yu said, when we Sichuan Army fight, we must only take advantage, never suffer a loss."

The crossfire of the light and heavy machine guns could not yet cover this large residential compound.

Now, his battalion was being surrounded and annihilated by the Sichuan Army.

"As a qualified commander, one must always keep in mind the taboos of military strategy."

"Once the guns start firing, everyone must grab some loot."

Yamada Kenjiro decided to report to the Division Commander first, then let the Division Commander make the final decision.

As long as they occupied a portion of the city's defensive fortifications, they could then dispatch a portion of their troops.

They would certainly achieve impressive combat results!

Two kilometers outside the city!

Must be one shot, one kill; absolutely do not use hand grenades.

Annihilate the Imperial Army at the appropriate location!!

"Baka!"

"Boom—!"

The battlefield observation and analytical capabilities were still very sharp.

As long as shots are fired, no matter what the devils have, it must be snatched away.

"To think they have shrunk all their forces inside the city!"

Once his battalion went to rescue them, there would be no troops left to defend the city's defensive fortifications.

His battalion was in an unfavorable situation!

At the same time!

He already understood that this distribution of firepower was several times more powerful than if it had been deployed to block the Imperial Army head-on.

This infuriated Benshan Guisanlang.

"The taste is naturally not much different!"

Last time, when Yu Hua gave a lecture to the soldiers of the Seventh War Zone of the Sichuan Army, he had already emphasized it.

Under the cover of his guards, Benshan Guisanlang hid inside a large residential compound.

Sichuan Army!

Whether it be guns, artillery, food, or military uniforms, they want it all!

If you get a lot, Adjutant Yu will be happy and might reward you with two catties of sweet potato liquor to let you have a treat.

And the Imperial Army cannot throw hand grenades to counterattack.

Because!

Now that the Sixth Division is out on a campaign, he is the highest-ranking commander in the vicinity.

He also heard the intense gunfire inside the city; judging from the location of the engagement.

"It has already been taken by our Imperial Army!"

Previously, Benshan Guisanlang had sneered at Murakami Niju, but now he truly understood.

The combat proficiency of the Sichuan Army's commander is very high!

This ambush on the Matsushita Battalion was a trap specifically set for the Imperial Army.

He was, after all, an officer who graduated from the Imperial Army University!

The Yamada Battalion on the city's defensive fortifications.

Seeing someone throw a hand grenade, Li Ming shouted: "Everyone pay attention!"

The Sichuan Army can throw hand grenades to blow up the Imperial Army.

"This artillery piece will soon belong to our 144th Division."

After Yamada Kenjiro thought about it for a moment.

Because!

"This Sichuan Army commander is surprisingly stupid."

The little devil's machine gunners also quickly moved forward and set up their machine guns.

He realized clearly that the Sichuan Army inside the city had been playing the strategy of "lure the enemy to reinforce."

Blocking the streets, making the Imperial warriors living targets, waiting only for death.

If the entire Jinshan County was fought this way!

Benshan Guisanlang believed that the Imperial Army would suffer a huge loss, and furthermore, if a regiment entered.

At this very moment, he finally understood what the new recruit Murakami Niju had said about urban warfare.

He had to break out!!

Using this as a springboard, he would continue to sweep through the Sichuan Army cowering inside the city.

This rat-like army actually had such a formidable commander.

After all!

"The devils' artillery must never be blown up with Hand Grenades."

"Kunisaki-kun, the sake from my hometown is famously fragrant!"

However, for high-ranking generals like Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru, wartime regulations were just a piece of waste paper.

Just like that!

The soldiers of two Regiments increased their firepower output, raining a wild barrage down on the little devils.

Break out!

Kunisaki Noboru drank a cup of sake!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Benshan Guisanlang saw it with his own eyes!

The warriors of the Imperial Army were being continuously slaughtered by the Sichuan Army.

Tani Hisao took a sip and ate a piece of roasted chicken.

His battalion would likely fall into a bitter struggle.

Inside the command post of the 6th Division.

The rest of the Sichuan Army soldiers knew it too.

If the Sichuan Army inside the city launched a counterattack, reoccupied the city defense fortifications, and carried out a pincer attack.

"The sake you brought is really quite good."

To the Imperial Army, that was simply a massacre.

If he let his battalion enter now, they would certainly be intercepted by the Sichuan Army halfway.

Having marched since morning, Tani Hisao was starving.

The little devils' Machine Gun was blown up, its barrel twisted like a pretzel.

That was Tani Hisao!

Side Firepoints, utilizing the civilian houses on both sides of the street, formed a Crossfire to build a network of firepower.

"Abandoning outer positions to consolidate forces within the city is a major military taboo."

Although Benshan Guisanlang did not know about Side Firepoints, based on the Sichuan Army's distribution of firepower.

This large courtyard was located in a blind spot of the Sichuan Army's ambush circle.

After the command post was set up, he had his guards prepare food and drink for him.

If they didn't get it, Adjutant Yu would not only curse and hit people, but after hitting them.

They would also be unable to achieve final victory in the battle, because Jinshan County was large, and once they searched the streets.

The more he thought about it, the more Benshan Guisanlang truly felt terrified.

"Given the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, I fear the city districts around the gate towers."

The doors and windows of the civilian houses on both sides were blocked by the Sichuan Army, leaving only firing ports.

"This completely violates the Infantry Manual."

Regardless of firepower or terrain!

Don't even think about fighting the devils; you'll just suffer losses, and without even being able to get equipment, what's the point of fighting the devils.

They would inevitably divide their forces, and in this way, the Sichuan Army could actively seize opportunities for battle.

It was just that their Machine Gun had only just been set up!

The Sichuan Army inside the civilian houses threw Hand Grenades.

It was he who had underestimated the Sichuan Army!

And!

He had to report this situation to the Division Commander!

Otherwise, the 6th Division would suffer a great loss in Jinshan County!

Especially since the combat style adopted by the Sichuan Army was completely different from the Republic of China troops in the Pingjin Region.

If they got too little, Adjutant Yu would curse and even hit people!

Inside the large courtyard!

Tani Hisao nodded: "Yosh!"

Devil troops at war, according to regulations, were not allowed to drink alcohol.

The Sichuan Army had only one principle for fighting: take advantage whenever possible, and never allow themselves to suffer a loss.

Give them two more silver dollars for travel expenses, and you can just go home, hold your kids, and farm the land.

Upon hearing Li Ming's shout, the Sichuan Army soldiers all pledged to hit the devils' artillery.

Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru both believed that if three battalions of the Imperial Army entered Jinshan County.

A sound of admiration came from his mouth: "Tani Hisao-kun!"

He held the final right of interpretation for wartime regulations.

Benshan Guisanlang seemed to have been ambushed by the Sichuan Army, fifteen minutes away from them.

Kunisaki Noboru took a bite of roasted chicken, drank a cup of sake, and said leisurely: "The war has been going on for nearly an hour."

"Clearly, our opponents do not have such brains."

Tani Hisao was immensely pleased with himself, not giving the 144th Division inside the city a second thought.
