Chapter 70, "Song of Farewell for the Soldiers"
The Japanese tank division was completely wiped out, and more than 400 chariots were all destroyed, not because it should be said that there was still one that was not destroyed, because he broke down, and only after the battle was over did he rush to the battlefield slowly, looking at the ruins of the chariots along the way, and the corpses lying on the side of the chariots, he was very frightened.
"What should I do?" The driver asked the commander, and if he drove any further in this situation, he was completely looking for death.
"Return, this must be reported to His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief." The commander said with a frown.
"Hayi!" The driver responded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he didn't go up to die, the other two crew members were also relieved when they heard this.
The driver hit the direction of the chariot and returned the same way.
Tan Youwen got the news that the Japanese army's tank division was wiped out, and threw it aside, but it was just more than 400 iron cabinets, and they dared to call tanks, as long as they had a 59, they could single-handedly take on a tank division of the Japanese army when there was enough ammunition.
"How's the front line?" Tan Youwen asked the staff officer.
"The Japanese army's many attacks have been defeated, and at present, the front line is in good condition, only the fortifications in various places have been destroyed, but there is no major problem." The staff officer said.
"Keep it up, as long as you don't let the Japanese get past our position." Tan Youwen nodded.
"By the way, when will that armored division be transferred?" Tan Youwen suddenly asked again.
"It will arrive tomorrow, and the tank is running slowly." The staff officer said.
"Well, by the way, I heard that the commander-in-chief has filmed a batch of rocket artillery regiments, why haven't you come yet." Tan Youwen continued to ask.
"Come on, I heard that this thing costs a lot of ammunition, and ammunition is being prepared over there." The staff officer replied.
"I know, you go and prepare, tonight there will be a wave of artillery bombardment for the devils to extinguish their prestige." Tan Youwen waved his hand, and then continued to stare at the map.
The commander-in-chief of the 12th Army was very surprised, more than 400 tanks went, how did they come back, and after inquiry, they learned that the entire tank division, he was left with one tank, and he felt that the whole sky was dark, and then his head was tilted and he passed out.
There is a whole tank division and more than 400 tanks, which will take them several months to save from the whole country. Moreover, their army is not as rich as the navy, and the entire army is only a few tank divisions, and there are no other tank brigades and tank wings, but there are less than a hundred tanks.
"What time is it?" The commander-in-chief of the 12th Army of the Japanese army woke up and saw the lights in the house, so he asked.
"General, it's 7 o'clock in the evening, and you've been asleep for 4 hours." The adjutant next to him said.
"4 hours? That, the commander-in-chief of the tank division ...... is still a little unacceptable.
"Annihilation!"
"Alas, at that time, I was only thinking about interspersing in a roundabout, forgetting that there were planes in the sky to reconnoitre, and there were so many chariots that a blind person could find out. They also have strong anti-tank weapons, and the tanks are also very powerful. The division commander was more sober, and then sat down on the bed and sighed leisurely.
"It's not all the Commander-in-Chief......
"You don't have to comfort me, I know very well that it was my command mistake that killed Muraki-kun (the division commander of the chariot division), and when this battle is over, I will go and receive the punishment myself. No, I will make up for my mistakes and destroy the 41st Army of China. The Commander-in-Chief said firmly, his mind was clearer now, more than ever.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
Suddenly, the earth trembled, a roaring explosion came, and there were still shells in the air. Voice.
"It's not good, the shelling of China, general, go to the bomb shelter." The adjutant picked up the commander-in-chief and helped him to the dugout.
In the dark night, the shells exploded, like bright fireworks, very dazzling.
The night artillery bombardment ordered by Tan Youwen exploded, and huge shells fell on the Japanese positions and camps, overturning everything.
The Japanese troops of the 12th Army also suffered from the shelling of the 258th Division, and had no choice but to dig up air-raid shelters that only the Red Party and the Guo Army would dig.
The Japanese soldiers hiding in the underground bomb shelter opened their mouths wide open, not caring about the dust from the top falling into their mouths, and now they were thinking about how to survive this fierce shelling, such a fierce shelling, if they were not shocked to death, they would also be buried alive by the bomb shelter that would collapse sooner or later.
"Eight Geyalu, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going out to fight with the Zhina people." One Japanese soldier couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to run out. However, he was stopped by other Japanese troops.
"Sanbei-kun, calm down, if you go out now, it's completely a matter of death." The person next to him shouted at him.
"But I really can't stand it anymore, I'd rather fight to the death with the people of China than with them
"Baga, you're still not an empire/soldier." A team leader suddenly walked up and raised his hand to slap him, and then said angrily.
"Hayi!" Sanbei had to bow his head in response, he was just a junior soldier, and he was far from the rank of captain, let alone beating him, it would be okay to kill him, because his current behavior was no different from disturbing the morale of the army.
"As a soldier of the empire, a soldier with the spirit of bushido, we are not afraid of death, but it does not mean that we will die like this, we will die like this, it is not bravery, it is cowardice, it is cowardice, it is timidity, it is fear of difficulties, and the soldiers of the empire can endure any difficulties." The squad leader roared.
"We were summoned by the Emperor, bathed in the glorious morning of life, and passed hundreds of millions of ...... to the struggle" Suddenly, I don't know who sang this "Song of Farewell to the Soldiers on the Expedition", and other Japanese soldiers also sang along.
“…… Cheer and rush to the high sky, rush! Brave Japanese boys! Wrap the gratitude that blooms like a flower tightly in the bear covered with battle armor, the army of justice, the place of desire...... Let's go! Brave Japanese boys! Reflecting the color of the blood tide of his father and ancestors, Hinomaru, who is the honor of the country, shines brightly in the sky of this century and builds a new Asia! Let's go! Brave Japanese boys! ”
Singing sounded in the air-raid shelter, and if anyone saw it, they thought it was quite tragic, and at this time they were still singing the "Song of Farewell to the Soldiers on the Expedition".
"Boom Boom~~" The artillery fire outside is still rumbling, some air-raid shelters have been blown up, and those Japanese soldiers were directly buried alive, even the Daluo Immortals can't be saved.
In this air-raid shelter, the supporting wooden sticks were creaking, and the dust on the top was falling down, so the Japanese soldiers were almost natives, but they still closed their eyes and sang "The Song of Farewell to the Soldiers on the Expedition" one after another. The planks on the roof of the air-raid shelter have cracked, and more and more dust is falling, even if the artillery does not explode in this hole, it will collapse in ten minutes, not to mention the sound of artillery outside now.
