[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 207: (For the Emperor of the World)

Datong, the regimental headquarters of the 26th Division, although it was a revisit to the old place, but Harem Chun did not have the slightest expression of joy, but a solemn face.

He was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the power in his hands is far stronger than that of Tubalu, whether it is strength or firepower, this is not comparable to Tubalu.

For this encirclement and suppression operation, Harem Chun was full of confidence at the beginning, firstly, he thought that he had figured out the true strength of Ma Zheng's department through the inner line, according to the intelligence transmitted back, although the Duqi Division had a lot of troops, it had even exceeded the expectations of the front army, even if Ma Zheng's main force went south, there were still no less than 20,000 people.

However, they lack weapons and equipment, many newly formed infantry regiments are not even fully equipped with one-third or even one-quarter of their weapons, and the soldiers usually carry a machete on their backs, and when they train, they hold a wooden gun.

But even so, Harem Chun still put on a posture of a lion fighting a rabbit, but the result was also unacceptable to him, and he lost more than 13,000 people in just one day and one night. The 8,000 Imperial Cooperative Army is just that, and the loss is lost, which is not a pity. But the 5,000 imperial army is the real elite of the empire, but I didn't expect it to be lost in Suidong for no apparent reason, which is not only unacceptable to the base camp, but even the harem Chun himself can't accept such a result.

The harem Chun, who was holding his breath, was really angry, the cavalry group was completely annihilated, and Guisui City was lost if it was lost, but he must annihilate this branch of the southern part of the country, at any cost.

Knowing that today's Kuroda Department advanced another ten kilometers at a rapid pace, and the Department also lost more than 300 people, Harem Jun was greatly dissatisfied! It's been three days. The mechanized armored cluster on which he had high hopes had advanced less than forty-five kilometers, and it was still twenty kilometers away from the county seat of Fengzhen.

In the past three days, the troops were frequently attacked by Tubalu, and more than 500 people were lost. This made Harem Chun extremely angry, the death of five hundred people is nothing, but I don't know if those people did it on purpose. When the shooting was fired, except for the officers, who were basically killed by one shot, the rest of the ordinary soldiers were only wounded and did not lose their lives.

It is enough to transport a dead person back by truck, but it takes at least two soldiers to take care of the wounded if a wounded person is wounded, and the painful moans of the wounded can easily affect the morale of the troops, and the morale of the troops has dropped very much in the past three days, which even Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, who has always been proud, has to admit.

Fortunately, the painful days are about to pass, although there are still more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat of Fengzhen, but the most difficult part of the journey has ended, so Kuroda Shigetoku called back to Harem Jun. Tomorrow morning, we will definitely take the county seat of Fengzhen and pay tribute to the heroic souls of the imperial warriors who died in battle with the heads of the people of China!

On 31 July, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, which had been tense for a night, hastily ate breakfast and continued to move forward, compared with the trembling of the previous days, the morale of the troops today was obviously higher, mainly because the squadron leader conveyed the orders of the brigade headquarters to the ordinary soldiers last night. The most difficult mountain roads are basically over, and from tomorrow they will move into the gentle areas of battle, when the tank units will be able to use their powerful offensive capabilities.

At the same time, in order to boost the morale of the troops. The brigade headquarters ordered that the soldiers would be allowed to ignore military discipline for eight hours after the troops captured Fengzhen City. During these eight hours, the soldiers did not go unpunished.

This is also the usual tactic used by the Japanese army to boost morale, and it is precisely because of this that Japan, which claims to be the number one power in East Asia, committed so many bestial acts during World War II, and many crimes are still unbelievable to hear about, which shows the extent of their heinousness.

Sure enough, it's much easier to walk along the way today. Although the road was also badly damaged, there were far fewer places to ambush and stop as the terrain gradually opened and flattened.

Until they left the mountains, they were only blocked three times, and the casualties were limited, and even the most recent time they used the mobile artillery of their tanks to destroy a heavy machine-gun position on the Tuba Road. Easily defeated the resistance of the Dirt Eight Road.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Kuroda brigade finally walked out of the mountains and arrived at a small basin more than ten kilometers away from Fengzhen City.

When they finally came out, everyone, including Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, had the urge to cry, and they walked for a distance of 60 kilometers for four whole days, and they also paid a heavy price of more than 700 dead and wounded, which Major General Kuroda Shigetoku had never thought about before.

Now he can finally raise his eyebrows and be ashamed, he wants to completely crush the positions of the Shina people with a powerful chariot force, and let them know that the Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and the Great Japanese Imperial Army is invincible.

After reconnaissance, Kuroda Shigetoku learned that the Eighth Route Army had set up a blocking position in Ebaping Village, three kilometers ahead, and it seemed that it was preparing to fight them to the death here.

Ebaping Village is located ten kilometers southwest of Fengzhen County, the whole village is located in a wide plain area, and the mainland leading to Fengzhen County passes through the middle of the village.

At this time, Ebaping Village had been emptied, and more than 5,000 people from the 201st Regiment of the Seventh Brigade, as well as the artillery battalion, engineer battalion, and guard battalion, were stationed here.

After looking at the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army, Kuroda Shigetoku smiled, such a civil structure of fortifications may have a certain effect on ordinary infantry, but it is simply useless for the chariot troops, in the face of the lack of anti-tank weapons such as anti-aircraft guns, the position of the Shina people will probably be shattered in the face of the first charge of the chariot troops.

However, Kuroda Shigetoku did not immediately dispatch the chariot troops, although Kuroda Shigetoku is extremely proud, but this person's tactical command level is quite capable, otherwise he would not be valued by Harem Jun.

The Eighth Route Army obviously knew that they had massive armored forces, and if they did not have the means to deal with tanks, how would they dare to fight a decisive battle with armored forces in the plains, unless the head of the commander of the branch was in the water.

Since he really couldn't figure out the intentions of the Chinese defenders, Kuroda Shigetoku first sent two infantry squadrons to carry out a tentative attack!

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Dozens of mortars and infantry guns opened fire at the same time, and violent explosions suddenly sounded on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and the position was instantly enveloped in artillery fire and gunsmoke.

After the artillery fire, the two Japanese infantry squadrons rushed to the dragon position of the 201st Regiment like crazy!

However, as soon as the Japanese entered the effective range of the defenders, they opened fire, and although the defenders' accuracy seemed to be affected by the smoke of gunpowder, many Japanese troops fell on the way to the charge.

Especially when they launched a charge, the Chinese artillery, which had not been detected until now, suddenly exerted force, and more than a dozen artillery shots rang out one after another, causing great losses to the Japanese army.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Under the fierce resistance of the defenders, the Japanese army fell in pieces!

Seeing that the troops suffered heavy casualties, the two infantry squadron leaders then gave the order to retreat.

Major General Kuroda, who was watching the battle from behind, was extremely depressed, and there was a faint anger in his heart. He saw the attack just now, although in the eyes of the layman, the two squadrons under his command fought well, and the defeat was also caused by the too fierce firepower of the Zhinamen. But Rear Master Kuroda knew that the performance of those two squadrons was really poor.

The most important thing is the lack of dedication to His Majesty the Emperor, even if he fails, it is impossible to lose so quickly, and it is simply unforgivable that the soldiers turned around and ran back almost as soon as the cannon fire of the people of Shina sounded.

Angry, Kuroda Shigetoku ordered again: "Yamazaki, let the seventh and eighth squadrons attack, you personally lead the team, if you can't fight, don't come back." ”

Hearing this, Yamazaki Shaozo on the side immediately said respectfully: "Hai! (To be continued.) )
