Chapter 46: A Direct Hit (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

With Yu Dazhu personally operating it!

The muzzle of the Type 41 Mountain Gun also slowly began to turn.

After aiming at the antenna on the small hillside.

"Shell!"

Yu Dazhu let out a cold snort.

The First Gunner hurriedly opened the shell crate and took out a 75mm shell from inside.

When Yu Dazhu asked for the shell.

He opened the breech of the Mountain Gun, and after receiving the shell.

The figures of Akiyama Yoshiyuki and several Japanese soldiers also appeared in the eyes of Fujii Sueyoshi.

Hearing this, Fujii Sueyoshi's brows furrowed tightly.

The location of the Sichuan Army's shelling was exactly the command post that the Brigade Commander had just relocated to.

The power of the Type 41 Mountain Gun is such that, basically, once a hit is scored, it is difficult to have survivors.

Taking the Dunwusi City District would only be a matter of an hour or two.

"Now that the Brigade Commander has been killed in action, this matter cannot be separated from your command."

"Your regiment wants to participate in the attack, but it still requires the Brigade Commander to issue the order."

This matter was truly quite significant; Akiyama Yoshiyuki had not expected it at all.

"If I remember correctly, the unit attacking today is your regiment."

A burst of fire and dirt kept rolling up from the small hillside.

Fujii Sueyoshi looked at the place being shelled by the Sichuan Army.

His guards pressed Fujii Sueyoshi to the ground.

It has now been buried by dirt.

After uncovering the wood and sandbags.

Just counting the Colonels, there was still one, and there were also five or six Lieutenant Colonels and Majors.

Right now is the easiest time to be promoted to Major General.

The Japanese artillery fire will probably arrive immediately.

Seeing the small hillside hit and explode, Yu Hua happily patted Yu Dazhu on the shoulder.

Hashimoto Ryuji and Isa Kazuo also arrived.

Two companies of Japanese soldiers, under the leadership of Fujii Sueyoshi.

When the two arrived, they also saw the miserable state of Akiyama Yoshiyuki.

Fujii Sueyoshi's regiment was closer to Akiyama Yoshiyuki's command post.

Pulling the traction rope of the Type 41 Mountain Gun, the gun body vibrated slightly.

Yu Hua was in a very good mood, "After this battle is over, I'll treat you to a mutton restaurant."

The sound of the shelling just now.

Two mules dragged the Type 41 Mountain Gun and ran away.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki's body was blown into two pieces by the shell, and the point of rupture happened to be where he was urinating.

Rapidly rushing toward the small hillside.

"Today's attack mission was issued personally by the Brigade Commander."

"Why not!" Isa Kazuo smirked, "You give this opportunity to me, and I will cover for you!"

Flying toward the predetermined target!

Isa Kazuo turned his gaze toward Fujii Sueyoshi, "Fujii-kun!"

"Whew, whew, whew!!"

This is even easier than capturing a Field Position.

After an explosion, it was immediately followed by four more shells carrying flames.

At this moment!

On the Field Position outside the city.

The shells tore through the sky, carrying a sharp whistling sound of airflow.

"Fire!" Yu Hua nodded faintly and issued the order to shell.

Yu Dazhu inserted the shell, then closed the breech, confirming that the shell was fully loaded.

In the Pingjin Region, whenever it is a siege battle, Imperial Army soldiers enter the city.

The two regiments under the Sixth Brigade were both commanded by Colonels.

"Your regiment can withdraw to rest and reorganize."

Yu Hua used his Telescope to keep observing the small hillside opposite.

Ever since Yu Dazhu fired a few shots.

The two were of equal rank; now that the troops were fighting, it was unclear who should listen to whom.

Having succeeded in the strike, Yu Hua hurriedly ordered a retreat.

"Dazhu!"

Also on the road were Hashimoto Ryuji and Colonel Isa Kazuo.

The Sixth Brigade Headquarters was shelled.

Only after entering the ranks of General Officers would his family be able to live a good life.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki was killed in action, and the command system of the Sixth Brigade had already completely paralyzed.

Isa Kazuo also wanted to use this opportunity to be promoted to Major General.

All that was needed was for the direct-fire guns, Mortars, and Type 92 Infantry Guns to clear the way, and then sweep straight forward.

The expected explosion did not come.

These two little devils noticed it too.

The remaining devil soldiers also scattered, lying flat in the trenches.

After he arrived with his troops, he discovered the entire Brigade Headquarters.

Just as Fujii Sueyoshi was feeling strange, he saw an explosion occur on a small hill outside the Field Position.

After the sound of the artillery shells tearing through the air arrived from the sky.

His expression changed drastically, "Baka!"

Akiyama Yoshiyuki was a Major General, and the number of people who were blown to death along with him was quite high.

"Baka!"

"I will immediately report to the Division Headquarters that a General Officer has been killed in action."

"Isa-kun!"

The command post of the Sixth Brigade was as dead as it could be.

The remaining devils were also about twenty in number!

In any case, Yu Dazhu had already made a huge profit by firing that one shot.

Following closely, an artillery shell flew into the sky, trailing a long tail of flame.

Yu Dazhu had a calm expression on his face, as if all of this was just a routine operation for him.

The devil soldiers dug the ground with their hands, and after spending more than ten minutes, they finally dug out the Brigade Headquarters.

"Then the security team and the team protecting the Brigade Commander are also the mission of the 35th Regiment."

Calculating it this way, he, Fujii Sueyoshi, really would have to bear the responsibility.

Looking at Fujii Sueyoshi, Isa Kazuo grinned: "Do you think the Division Commander will punish you?"

He sneered: "Fujii-kun!"

Isn't it just that you want to seize the credit of the 35th Regiment!

"You kid fought well, all five shells hit the target."

This was indeed a problem.

Fujii Sueyoshi's eyes widened, and then followed.

Upon hearing this, cold light flashed in Fujii Sueyoshi's eyes: "Impossible!"

"Company Commander, one round loaded!"

And at this moment.

Isa Kazuo had also anticipated Fujii Sueyoshi's rebuttal in his heart.

The position of Brigade Commander of this Sixth Brigade might just fall to him.

The little devils came galloping over, and since they were not carrying entrenching tools, they could only resort to manual digging now.

Although his command post had moved forward, it was still set up outside the range of the Mortars.

Plus, Yu Dazhu was firing five rapid shots.

The two regiments had always been in a state of competition.

Right now, the Sichuan Army in the Dunwusi City District only had a handful of people.

"Let the next battle be left to my 7th Regiment."

"Artillery fire!"

It continued to smash onto the small hill outside the Field Position.

How could Fujii Sueyoshi not be clear about Isa Kazuo's intentions?

"Quickly..."

"Rescue the Brigade Commander... quickly!"

A cloud of dust and smoke spread out from the ground.

Furthermore, the 35th Regiment and the 7th Regiment did not get along in normal times.

The Sichuan Army on the opposite side, who were so poor they couldn't even afford shoes and clothes, actually had a Type 41 Mountain Gun.

Seeing this situation, Akiyama Yoshiyuki knew that the chance of the Brigade Commander surviving was very slim.

Right now!

He had been in the position of Colonel for a long time.

The Republic of China Army would naturally collapse.

How could Fujii Sueyoshi give up his regiment's military merit?

Especially now that Akiyama Yoshiyuki had been killed in action, if he were to take the Dunwusi City District.

"Quickly... dig out the Brigade Commander!"

Fujii Sueyoshi brandished the Command Sword in his hand.

Yu Dazhu also had the artillerymen harness the Type 41 Mountain Gun to the mules.

As it happened, Fujii Sueyoshi was just preparing to give a lecture to his regiment at this time.

Looking at the smirking Isa Kazuo, Fujii Sueyoshi still did not compromise.

He decided to give it a go!

This opportunity was equally important to him.
