Chapter 1244: Appetizer (Second Update!) )
"Division commanders, armored units. Our forwards, rearguards, and the middle of the team were all raided by the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy losses? A combat staff officer rushed over with a panicked face, and when he saw Fujino, he reported with a panicked expression.
"Nani?" Lieutenant General Fujino was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, and then he raised his binoculars to look forward and backward.
The forwards and defenders were so far away from them that they couldn't see anything but the constant rising fireballs and flames.
But he could see clearly the armored vehicles that were in the middle of the raid team.
In front of the armored car, the imperial army, which was only resisting with flesh and blood, was swept to the ground by the bullets fired by the armored car. In the blink of an eye, a huge gap was punched out of the pair that stretched for several kilometers!
The more Lieutenant General Fujino looked, the more anxious he became, staring at the combat staff officer in front of him
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, how can flesh and blood be an opponent of armored forces, don't we have rapid-fire guns? In order to deal with the specially reinforced rapid-fire artillery squadron of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army, let them go up and take out those armored vehicles! ”
"Let's arrange it right away!" The operational staff officer did not dare to stay here for long, and immediately rushed to the battlefield with the order.
The chief of staff next to him reminded with a calm face: "Division commander, your judgment is right, the Eighth Route Army really has a conspiracy against us tonight!" ”
"Since this is a conspiracy, then we must not stay here for long......"
"Until now, only the armored units of the Eighth Route Army have appeared, and their infantry, cavalry, have not yet appeared!"
Lieutenant General Fujino's face became more and more solemn, and he frowned and judged: "The armored forces raided us and dragged us down." Wait for the infantry to arrive and then attack us and consume us, eighty percent of them are like this~"
"You're right, we can't afford to be here for too long."
"The Eighth Route Army, which attacked us, had three armored units, each of which left an infantry squadron and a rapid-fire artillery squadron to hold them back."
"Other troops, immediately bypass the battlefield and continue to carry along the road!"
The first and second companies of the armored battalion of the Raider Striker and the Chinese Army, because they were playing against the elite of the devils, the raid was very smooth at first, but as the devils slowly reacted from the shock and organized the troops to counterattack, the two companies wanted to go further and raid where there were many devils, and it became more and more difficult directly.
In particular, after the rapid-fire artillery squadron took part in the battle, two armored companies actually suffered casualties.
But the 3rd Company of the Armored Battalion, which raided the rearguard of the devils, went very well.
In the face of a group of baggage soldiers with almost no combat effectiveness, the armored company directly took a position that matched the enemy's and attacked forward at its fastest speed.
The convoy infantry, who followed closely behind the armored car, was thrown off at the very beginning.
However, they had more than two hundred cavalry following them, and they didn't have to worry about their own safety!
"Sir, the guard squadron has been routed. The speed of the surprise attack of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army was very fast, we didn't even have a chance to retreat and transfer, the fourth baggage squadron had already been routed by them, and the third baggage squadron was fighting desperately! The lieutenant, with a bandage on his arm, rushed to the captain of the baggage squad and reported with a painful face.
"The third squadron is finished!" The captain replied with a pained look on his face.
"The Guard Squadron is no opponent, let alone those of us who are rarely equipped with weapons!"
"Order the second, the first two squadrons, to retreat immediately, run forward, catch up with the main forces in front, and let the main forces stop them!"
As soon as the lieutenant left, a communications officer rushed over.
"Sir, the division commander ordered, leave one squadron to hold back the enemy, and the other troops march quickly to bypass the battlefield and continue north!"
After speaking, without waiting for the captain of the baggage brigade to react, the communications officer from the division headquarters turned around and began to pursue the division commander!
Now there are battles everywhere here, and it is definitely safer to follow the division commander than to follow the baggage brigade, and the communications officer understands this even if he is a fool!
"Sir, what should I do!" The adjutant next to him asked anxiously.
The gunfire is getting closer and closer here, if it weren't for the fact that the captain hadn't moved yet, the adjutant next to him wanted to run after hearing the order of the division commander!
"Eight Grids, this is a bastard order! We are a baggage force, and even if the entire brigade stays, we will not be able to drag those armored vehicles! ”
Just as the adjutant's face turned white, a captain rushed over.
"Sir, the leader of the third squadron of the lowly rapid-fire artillery, I was ordered to come and report and support you in blocking the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army~"
Hope rekindled on the captain's solemn face, and he immediately ordered: "You guys are in front of the defense, wait for their armored vehicles to come, and kill them!" ”
"The second squadron of baggage stays to protect the rapid-fire artillery squadron!"
"Boom ......"
Soon, the huge roar of the armored car came, and the little devil who directly mounted the rapid-fire gun on the road immediately aimed and shot ~
"Boom ......"
In two violent explosions, the two armored vehicles were directly exploded, turned into two fireballs, and stopped in place.
The remaining armored vehicles seemed to be aware of the danger and quickly retreated, constantly changing their route to avoid the second round of shells that the devils might fire.
"Yo Xi, the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army have finally been blocked!" The captains of the baggage brigades who were watching the battle in the back lit up and said with a long breath.
Then he ordered: "The troops speed up and march hastily......"
Before the word "enter~" could be spoken, the captain's nerves that had just relaxed became tense again, and he looked at the picture in front of him with a shocked face, and it took a long time to react.
"Cavalry, there are still cavalry in the Eighth Route Army......"
Imps armed only with rapid-fire guns and a small number of rifles and light machine guns can block armored vehicles, but not cavalry.
More than two hundred sabber-wielding cavalrymen rushed in front of the devil in the blink of an eye.
When the swords fell, one by one the imperial soldiers were cut down by the sabers, and then fell to the ground.
In less than two minutes before and after, the rapid-fire artillery squadron was killed by the cavalry and lost its combat effectiveness.
The armored company that had just stopped immediately increased its horsepower and continued to assault forward......
"It's over~" As soon as these two words popped into the mind of the captain of the baggage brigade, a string of heavy machine gun bullets flew over and knocked him into a sieve!
Under the protection of the guards, Lieutenant General Fujino ran out of breath for nearly an hour before he was completely left behind by the sound of gunfire.
Looking at the frightened and panting subordinates around him, Lieutenant General Fujino held back his anger but had nowhere to go, so he could only swallow it in his stomach!
The division commander who caught up was equally out of breath.
After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and reported: "Division commander, all the troops that can rush out have rushed out......"
"I just let people count, we still have less than 6,000 people here, more than 5,600 to be exact!"
"That is, in the encounter that lasted less than an hour and a half just now, we lost nearly eighteen hundred people!"
Perhaps to comfort Fujino, the chief of staff hesitated and replied: "The direct losses are not so great!" ”
"Among the more than 1,800 people, there are more than 200 wounded and more than 500 troops left behind the palace, and most of the troops lost are baggage troops and artillery, and the proportion of combat troops is less than 30 percent!"
