Chapter 280: Offense is the Best Method

At the same time that a great victory was achieved at Jinshan County.

The 114th Division also encountered firepower strikes from the Sichuan Army on the South Line.

The South Line!

Suematsu Shigaharu's 114th Division, following the orders of Commander Yanagawa Heisuke.

Was to bypass the south shore of Taihu and head north toward Jinling.

If the 114th Division wanted to accomplish this goal.

Then it had to first capture the transportation hub of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway and the Railway—Jiaxing.

Everyone was a group of men; to appease the soldiers' resentment, the best result was venting.

The Japanese Army of the 114th Division prepared to enter the villages to capture commoners to repair the roads.

During the day!

Fortunately, Yang Sen kept Yu Hua's instructions in mind, and while hiding the troops, he also constructed Tunnel Fortification.

However, in order to survive, they all left with their families in tow.

On the highway heading toward Jiaxing.

Just in terms of machine guns, there were Type 26 General Purpose Machine Guns and Maxim Heavy Machine Guns.

On the ground, the Japanese Army had artillery support; once this battle began, it entered a white-hot state.

Repairing roads by day, getting bombed by night.

After the Japanese Army and the Sichuan Army exchanged fire, Suematsu Shigaharu was very happy.

The 114th Division had been continuously harassed by small units of the Sichuan Army.

After all this trouble and finally landing, it was time to fight the Republic of China Army.

As for the new Type 94 75mm Mountain Gun and the Type 95 75mm Field Gun.

In the sky, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service provided support.

There wasn't even a spotted pig to be found in the surroundings, so how could there be "flower girls" for the soldiers to vent with?

These commoners had also been persuaded by Yu Hua to leave.

Previously, when they learned they were to enter the Far East Continent to participate in the war.

The 114th Division was a newly formed Special Division of the Japanese Army; in terms of artillery configuration, it was not equipped with 105mm Howitzers.

Especially when riding the train; the entire division had just boarded, and it hadn't even traveled five kilometers.

The 114th Division was blocked at Jinshanwei and delayed for several days before landing.

Using mobile shelling to provide some "entertainment" for the devils.

This was damnably uncomfortable; where was this like coming to fight a war?

And having to get bombed at night!

Furthermore, for the Type 26 Submachine Gun, the 20th Army ensured that every Regiment could be equipped with one company.

These soldiers were also very happy because they learned from letters sent by some partners in the Pingjin Region.

The Far East Continent was a wealthy land, it was beautiful here, and the Republic of China Army was vulnerable.

It was the perfect time for men to make achievements and rise in social status.

They were also afraid that the Sichuan Army would use large troop groups to ambush their Supply Troops.

This seriously interfered with the 114th Division's march.

Now they could finally completely eliminate this detestable rat army.

The 114th Division would then be able to smoothly move toward Jiaxing.

Of course!

As for the Schneider M1919 75mm Mountain Gun, an infantry division of the Sichuan Army could now be equipped with four of these guns.

The total troop strength was about on par with the 114th Division, a one-to-one ratio.

The train was forced to stop.

The enemy had already run away, and you didn't even know where they were.

Suematsu Shigaharu had a massive headache.

Just like that!

The 114th Division was either repairing roads or on the way to repair roads.

And the M2 Heavy Machine Gun!

This American-style M2 Heavy Machine Gun, with data provided by Yu Hua, was also produced by the Sichuan Army Arsenal.

They had to find the Sichuan Army for a decisive battle, otherwise, the 114th Division would be continuously harassed by the Sichuan Army.

On the hillside!

The place where the Sichuan Army was hiding was blown to pieces by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, and the trees were burning.

Attack is the best method; as long as the hidden Sichuan Army is wiped out.

In a very short time, they also learned of the Japanese Army's atrocities; although everyone was unwilling to leave their homes.

The 114th Division, with two Infantry Regiments, under the command of the Regiment Commander.

Therefore, the commoners along the shores of Taihu in the Seventh War Zone.

However, in the surrounding villages, not a single person could be seen.

In terms of artillery, they had domestically produced 82mm Mortars, as well as copied Type 92 Infantry Guns and Type 41 Mountain Guns.

This infuriated Suematsu Shigaharu, and the several Regiment Commanders under him were also clamoring.

Once they engaged with the Japanese Army, they would retreat.

Fortunately, the 20th Army had replenished its personnel, the troops had undergone training, and their combat effectiveness had been restored.

But who knows now.

Moreover, it is basically Type 41 Mountain Gun and Type 38 Modified Field Gun.

Not only were the officers angry, but even the ordinary soldiers below were all furious.

The remaining regiments are responsible for security!

During the day!

The Japanese Army repaired the road, and at night, the 20th Army followed Yu Hua's instructions.

They began to search the surrounding hills!

The Japanese Army wanted to search the mountains, which certainly could not be stopped, and the 20th Army thus engaged the 114th Division.

The resentment of the lower-ranking soldiers was great, and Suematsu Shigaharu was naturally aware of it.

This must be used on the cutting edge; this cannon can fire up to nine kilometers, nearly ten kilometers, so its maximum value must be utilized.

What's more!

On the first day the 6th Division landed, it was ambushed by heavy forces of the Sichuan Army at night, and the Supply Troops were wiped out.

The 20th Army, the entire army has two divisions, each division with over thirteen thousand men.

The cursing Suematsu Shigaharu had no choice but to choose to abandon the Railway march and switch to the highway.

The Engineer Regiment and the Supply Regiment were responsible for repairing the road.

In addition, Marshal Liu allocated a batch of ordnance to Yang Sen.

During the day, call for support from your Naval Aviation to first bomb the several hills identified.

He has recently been carefully searching the map for hills where the Sichuan Army could hide large numbers of troops.

To advance, one must first repair the roads.

Cut off the transport lines of the Republic of China Army.

This gun can easily blow up the Japanese Army's Tank, and can even be used for anti-aircraft defense.

This battle also sounded an alarm for the 114th Division and the 18th Division.

If the vehicles and Supply Troops want to advance, they must first repair the highway.

The Railway ahead has several hundred meters of tracks that have already vanished.

The search troops sent out by Suematsu Shigaharu failed to capture any commoners, so he had to order the division's soldiers to repair the road.

Unfortunately, they did not resist you head-on at all, adopting harassment tactics, waiting until you had dressed in the middle of the night.

The 20th Army was fully re-equipped.

Bombs and Sulfur Bombs were thrown onto the hills all at once.

There is no way!

There are also a large number of photographs; these are all authentic materials recording the Japanese Army's brutalization of commoners.

When they prepared to rush out and use Bayonets to teach the Republic of China soldiers a harsh lesson.

The Art Troupe performed repeatedly along the coast of Taihu, which also made the surrounding commoners deeply aware of the viciousness of the Japanese Army.

In the end, Suematsu Shigaharu identified several hills.

The artillery of the Artillery Regiment were all 75-caliber Mountain Guns and Field Guns.

Yu Hua also specifically sought out the local Security Regiment, letting these people embellish the story of the Japanese Army's cruelty.

The Japanese Army planes had just left.

The condition of the highway was also poor; some highways were directly dug up and ruined by the Sichuan Army.

Then harass the 114th Division from the flanks.

Regarding the Schneider Mountain Gun, Yu Hua emphasized it to the infantry divisions of the Sichuan Army.

Do not engage the 114th Division head-on, but specifically destroy the highways and Railways.

Just like this!

Suematsu Shigaharu was so angry he had a headache.

Originally!

For the Art Troupe of the 23rd Group Army, Yu Hua let them bring equipment for showing movies.

It was clearly coming to the Far East Continent to specifically repair roads for the Republic of China, letting them get rich.

But!

But!

The Sichuan Army 20th Army, according to the combat plan given by Adjutant Yu.

These two old devils dared not abandon the Supply Troops.

Generally speaking!

This allowed the 20th Army to suffer little loss during the bombing.

After Yu Hua arrived at the Seventh War Zone, he began to handle the relocation of the commoners.

It is not yet the turn of the Special Division; overall, the artillery of the 20th Army is only slightly inferior to the 114th Division.
