Since the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army has been fighting against the upper country. Military time has always been smooth sailing, and the same is true in another time and space. They have always been known for being well-trained and well-equipped, and even if there are occasional setbacks, it is because they have been defeated by the state. Losses suffered by the army at the cost of superior forces and heavy casualties.

When later generations mentioned the Japanese army, many books and war histories mentioned that the Japanese army's tactics were actually not complicated, and they generally used airplanes and heavy artillery to open the way, and then defeated the country with the courage of soldiers who were not afraid of death and the strong quality of individual soldiers. Army many troops. But in this time and space, they ran into Su Jin, the freak of the guy who had a weapon store system, and after facing the offensive heavy punch composed of heavy artillery and dozens of dive bombers, the proud courage of the Japanese army became worthless in the face of steel and bombs.

The atmosphere in Jinhua City was very tense, although the Chinese army had not yet entered Jinhua City, but since the beginning of the war, the outer defense line of Jinhua City was like a blood pumping machine, slowly pumping out the blood of the 103rd Division and the 82nd Brigade little by little, and the reinforcements that he and the commander of the 82nd Brigade, Major General Iwasaki Taro, had high hopes for, were far away.

Lieutenant General Toyoshi Muraoka stood by a window on the second floor of the division headquarters, looking at the puffs of smoke rising from time to time and the huge explosions that sounded from time to time several kilometers away from him, and his face showed a deep melancholy, and he asked lightly after a long time: "Iwasaki-kun, hasn't Commander Tanaka approved our request for a breakthrough?" ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, not yet." Taro Iwasaki's face was not very good-looking, after seven or eight days of fighting. The two wings under his command had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, and he knew very well that if he continued like this, he would become the commander of the light pole in less than a week, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander." I don't understand, what's wrong with the empire today? It was not enough that the airfield of the army aviation was attacked by the china people, and even the naval aviation was defeated. That's not all, we have been besieged here for more than a week, but the reinforcements have never arrived, and the 23rd Army has more than 100,000 troops, but it has repeatedly lost the city and lost ground. This is simply a great shame for the empire, if Jinhua Castle is breached, I will see how Commander Tanaka explains to the base camp! ”

Listening to Taro Iwasaki's full of complaints. Muraoka Yutaka just sighed lightly, and said lonely: "Iwasaki-kun, can't you see clearly until now, it's not that Commander Tanaka doesn't send troops to save us." But at this time, he is no longer capable of saving us. ”

"Not capable?" Taro Iwasaki shouted with a hideous expression: "How is this possible. The empire has a total of more than 200,000 troops in Zhejiang and Guangdong, and the 11th Army, which is close at hand, has more than 200,000 of the most elite mobile corps. ”

Seeing Taro Iwasaki, who had a very hideous face because of his anger, Toyoshi Muraoka snorted lightly: "Iwasaki-kun, wake up, we are facing the most elite troops in China, and his commander is a butcher general who can make the children of the empire fearful." He commanded the most ruthless of the Kyokan troops, armed with large-caliber heavy artillery, state-of-the-art warplanes, and the finest weapons. This is similar to the countries we have encountered in the past that do not even have enough to eat. The army is completely different, and we cannot look at this army with the eyes of the past. The 23rd Mixed Brigade was defeated, and the 104th Division was forced to retreat to Wenzhou in embarrassment. ”

Hearing the scolding in Muraoka Yutaka's ear, Iwasaki Taro was stunned for a while, and then he lowered his head a little unwillingly, in fact, it was not that he didn't know the strength of his opponent, but that his previous pride and self-esteem made him unwilling to admit that the weak opponent in the past had become so powerful.

"Alas......"

Gently patting Iwasaki Taro on the shoulder, Muraoka Yutaka said softly: "Iwasaki-kun, let's withdraw all the troops outside the city to the city after dark tonight, if we continue to increase troops outside the city, we will sooner or later drain all the blood." ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Iwasaki Taro was shocked, and looked at Muraoka Yutaka in surprise: "If we all give up the outer positions, then we won't even have the last way to retreat, and then the people of China can easily surround us and eat them all!" Once Jinhua loses, then the whole Zhejiang will not be guaranteed! ”

"So what?" Taro Iwasaki closed his eyes in pain: "If we don't withdraw our troops to the city, the heavy artillery of the Shina people will blow up all our warriors bit by bit!" ”

"Alas......"

There was no sound on the entire second floor except for a long sigh......

Two Bobcat reconnaissance tanks escorted four Willis jeeps on the rugged road, the dirt road is not only narrow but also very bumpy, and the vehicle will be full of dust as soon as it drives, the dusty Crawford sat in the passenger seat, listening to the faint sound of artillery in front of him, his face was also changing, after a long time he turned his head and said: "Guys, do you hear, I bet this is definitely a heavy gun with a caliber of more than two hundred millimeters, It's just not known whether these heavy artillery pieces belonged to the Chinese or the Japanese. ”

Nicholas thought for a while and said: "I think it should be the heavy artillery of the Japanese, I don't think that the Chinese people who can't even make shells of more than 70 mm can have such a large-caliber artillery, you must know that this caliber artillery is generally not sold to the outside world." ”

Captain Karl, who was driving, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care about the ownership of the heavy artillery, and I'm praying now that we don't get hit by such shells, otherwise we will have to return to the arms of God." ”

"Oh...... Damn Carl, you damn guy is so boring to curse us like that. Crawford scolded angrily, because most soldiers are doing things like licking blood with knives, so they are very taboo about some things.

The convoy opened for a while, the rumbling cannon was getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere began to be tense, when they came to the riverside of the tributary of the Jinhua River, they were stopped by the guards, looking at these soldiers who were filled with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and exuded a thick murderous atmosphere, Crawford and his party did not dare to make a mistake, and honestly got out of the car to be checked. Everyone is a soldier, and they know very well that if they are annoyed, these red-eyed soldiers will really dare to shoot.

When they got back into the car, Carl whistled while looking at the pontoon bridge under his feet while driving: "Guys, do you see, this pontoon bridge under our feet is very good, it seems that the Chinese people are not as poor as we imagined." ”

"Come on, Carl." Nicholas interrupted him mercilessly: "Have you forgotten the rags we saw along the way, even the poor people who fell on the road? The vast majority of the people in this country do not even have enough to eat, and now they are just tightening their belts to fight the Japanese, and so far they have lost nearly half of their country, and even the capital has been occupied twice. ”

"But at least this unit is fighting well, isn't it?" Crawford whistled, "It's hard to imagine that they are now actively attacking the Japanese." ”

"That's what I find most difficult to understand." Nicholas said a little depressedly: "I really can't think of where did the general in Hengzhou City get so many planes and artillery, and even our company's latest fighter planes can be obtained." ”

"Hahaha......"

Nicholas's words caused Karl and the two to laugh, they didn't care why Northrop Grumman's aircraft appeared in China, after all, the war is fought with comprehensive national strength, and it has never been won by relying on a few advanced aircraft, Crawford's eyes flashed with a thoughtful gaze, "I'm more interested in the organization behind this Soviet general, this organization can even make airplanes, According to the character of the Chinese people, if they had such strong strength, they would have come out to compete with Chairman Jiang in Chongqing for the world, but why are they willing to hide in a place where no one can find it, silently conducting boring scientific research, this is too unreasonable! ”

"Hey...... Crawford, watch the way you speak! Nicholas said unhappily: "Science is never boring, only those superficial people will understand science in this way!" ”

"Oh, well, it's me who is too superficial!" Crawford did not refute Nicholas's words, but sat in the car and thought about his thoughts.

More than ten minutes later, their car stopped in front of a barracks, because in front of this barracks were standing more than a dozen officers and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, and in a forest not far from the barracks, they heard a loud roar, and faintly looked over and could see more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces pouring huge orange-red flames into the sky.

After Crawford and his entourage got out of the car, those officers also walked towards them, and when they saw the glittering golden star on the collars of the two officers led by them, Crawford and the others took the lead and walked up to salute them: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, head of the U.S. Military Observer Mission, salutes you!" ”

Crawford spoke in English, and at the same time, Xu Zhuangzhi, who was following them, quickly followed and translated his words into Chinese.

"Hello Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, I am Li Wei, the commander of the 348th Division, he is Zhang Danian, the commander of the 349th Division, and we would like to welcome you on behalf of the 40,000 soldiers here."

After introducing Gu, Liao Liping, Zhao Manlu and his party in the last car also got out of the car at this time and followed, and the meeting of the group was quite pleasant, just when Li Wei was about to invite them to enter the division headquarters to rest, Crawford suddenly said: "Your Excellency the division commander, can we go to the forward position now?" (To be continued.) )
