"Kill Quack...... Long live the Empire...... Long live His Majesty the Emperor...... "As all the regiments were put in, the army also increased its strength like crazy.

More and more devils shouted their slogans and rushed forward.

"Bang bang bang...... "Countless rifle bullets flew back and forth like shooting stars.......

From time to time, people on both sides were shot and fell.

As the distance approached, the vast majority of the rocket troops of the 5th Division began to exert their might.

A gate Bazooka rocket launcher spat out a ball of fire one after another, and the rockets drilled into the positions of the Japanese army, immediately setting off one violent explosion after another.

The devils around the explosion site suddenly screamed and were blown away, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

The flamethrowers are even more ferocious, with raging flames more than ten meters long erupting like fire snakes, and the devil soldiers will be quickly engulfed by the fire if they get a little spark.

The whole person became a burning man, and let out a painful howl until he was burned alive.

"Brothers, the division has already come to the front line to supervise the battle, and we must take Wanjia Town before dark, rush!" Tian Jin wore a steel helmet and held an MP44 assault rifle and shouted with a raised arm.

When the officers and men of the 13th Regiment heard this, their morale immediately increased greatly, and the assault rifles and machine guns in their hands vigorously greeted the devil's position.

At the same time, the grenadiers who charged and attacked with the troops also fired grenades at the positions of the Japanese army.

inflicted even heavier losses on the already heavy casualties of the Yue army, and almost every grenade explosion would have devil soldiers blown up.

Since most of the troops of the Yue army were invested in the battle for the Tiger tanks, although their surviving pillboxes and firepower points were suppressed with all their might, they could not block the Qiao family army attacking on all fronts.

After all, some of their firing points have already been destroyed by bombardment and shelling.

And as the distance approached, the Bazooka bazookas of the 5th Division caused great casualties to the Japanese army.

Even the devils hiding in machine-gun bunkers and light and dark fire bunkers will be shocked and killed and injured if they are fired accurately by Bazooka.

What's more, some experienced rocketeers fired rocket artillery directly into the bunker along the firing holes of the Japanese army.

In the confined space, the intensely scorching heat and raging air wave shrapnel inflicted unimaginable destruction on the devils in the bunker.

With the main force attacking on all fronts, the progress of the engineering units also began to become rapid.

Soon, two Tigers managed to fall out of the anti-tank trench and quickly retreated towards their positions under the cover of infantry.

Immediately after that, the other two Tiger tanks were also freed from the trap, and the sappers began to shovel and fill the pits.

They wanted to pave the way for their tank and armored units to advance, and they would rush one tank after another to the positions of the Japanese army, and directly block the machine gun bunkers of the Japanese army with tanks, and then annihilate them.

The fierce fighting lasted from 3 p.m. to the evening, and almost half of the 3,000-strong 13th Regiment suffered casualties, and of course the casualties of the Japanese army were even greater, and at least two wings were disabled.

After paying huge casualties, the engineering units finally filled several sections of anti-tank trenches.

The main force of the tank regiment, dozens of Tiger tanks and No. 4 tanks, which had been waiting for a long time, rumbled forward one after another, and the tank guns opened fire on the firepower of the Japanese army that was still firing stubbornly.

While rumbling through the anti-tank trenches and breaking through the positions of the Japanese army, each tank drove directly towards the devil's machine-gun pillbox that was constantly spitting out tongues of fire.

Having lost the wide and deep anti-tank trenches, there was nothing left on the positions to stop the assault of the tank armoured groups.

Under the cover of the infantry, the tank group marched forward and soon broke through to the position of the army, and with the tanks charging in front, the bullets poured out from the fire points of the army all clanged and hit the heavy armored vehicles of the tanks, and the casualty rate of the infantry behind them was extremely reduced.

When the tank almost blocked the firing hole of the pillbox of the Japanese army, the infantry accompanying the assault suddenly carried flamethrowers on their backs and sprayed a fierce fire at the Japanese army's bunker.

The scorching heat quickly burned all the oxygen in the bunker, and all the devils inside were burned to charred corpses without exception.

In this way, after the 13th Regiment and the Tank Regiment of the 5th Consolidated Division paid heavy casualties, they finally annihilated the Wanjiazhen Army and took Wanjiazhen at about 7 o'clock in the evening.

It is said that the army will not retreat from the fight to the death, which is also one of the reasons for the heavy casualties of the 13th Regiment.

In the headquarters of the 13th Regiment, Tian Jin, who had an arm wounded, saluted Jiang Jun with a guilty face while wearing a bandage: "Shizuo, my brothers in the 13th Regiment finally annihilated Wanjia Zhenyu after a bloody and hard battle, but the humble post is two hours later than the time limit, please punish Shizuo!" ”

Jiang Jun looked at the injured Tian Jin, patted him on the shoulder in a heavy tone and said: "I know that you have done your best, and I also know that the 13th Regiment has paid a heavy price for casualties, isn't it two hours late, I will carry it at the head office, you can take care of your injuries." ”

"But............" Tian Jin looked up.

"It's nothing, Lao Tzu's subordinates are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of war, what is there to carry Lao Tzu!" Jiang Jundao.

"Head Tian, it's okay, you go down and recuperate from your injuries." Chief of Staff Liang Haoyao also waved his hand at the right time.

"Yes!" Tian Jin didn't say anything, and after saluting, he turned to leave.

………………………… Shanhaiguan.

"General, the 5th Division has just taken Wanjia Town." Wang Gensheng, commander of the Guard Brigade, reported to Qiao Anbang, who was having dinner.

"Oh, how's the casualty?" Qiao Anbang asked without raising his head.

"The casualties were very large, the army fought to the death and did not retreat, and the integrated 13th Regiment, which was responsible for the main attack, suffered almost more than two-thirds of the casualties, and the regiment commander Tian Jin was also wounded." Wang Gensheng said.

"They seem to be late than I gave the time limit, right?" Joan Bang said.

"Yes." Wang Gensheng said: "But, the general seat, after all, they have paid a great price for casualties, and even the regiment commander Tian Jin has hung up the lottery, not that they don't do their best, but that the army is too tenacious." ”

"This is not an excuse, I'm asking you how long they're late?" Qiao Anbang asked coldly.

"More than two hours." Wang Gensheng replied.

"Two hours? It is enough to decide the outcome of a battle and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Qiao Anbang frowned, and said in a cold tone: "Pass my order, the commander of the 5th Division failed to complete the military order on time, immediately dismiss him from the post of commander of the 5th Division, and his military rank was also demoted to major. ”

"The main seat." Wang Gensheng felt that Qiao Anbang's punishment was indeed a bit heavy, "Anyway, the Fifth Division still completed the task, and Division Commander Jiang is still the deputy commander of the predecessor of our guard brigade, which can be regarded as your confidant, do you see if it is ......?"

Unexpectedly, before Wang Gensheng finished speaking, Qiao Anbang slammed the table, startled him, and shouted: "If you fail to complete the task on time, it is a failure, if today's battle situation is not our army's absolute initiative and advantage, if the fifth division is responsible for the task of reinforcements, two late, it will lead to the failure of the entire campaign, the consequences caused, that is unimaginable, disaster surname, do you know?" ”

After yelling, Qiao Anbang paused and said: "Spread the news to all divisions and regiments, if something similar happens again, it will definitely be punished heavily!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng didn't say much, and suddenly agreed.

The news that Jiang Jun, the commander of the Fifth Division, had failed to complete the task on time soon spread throughout all divisions and regiments of Qiao's army, and the whole army was shocked.

As we all know, Jiang Jun was the deputy head of Qiao Anbang's guard regiment, and he must be said to be Qiao Anbang's confidant, but he was only two hours late, and he finally completed the task, and was actually promoted to the rank of major by lieutenant general, division commander and army major general, and was almost pushed to the end.

As Qiao Anbang's absolute confidant, the commander of the fifth division of the main force was punished so heavily two hours late, and the military commanders of the other divisions were all shocked.

Wanjia Town, the headquarters of the Fifth Division.

The entire division headquarters fell into a deathly silence at this moment, and the faces of the division commander Jiang Jun and chief of staff Liang Haoyao were very solemn.

Several other combat communications staff officers were even more silent, staying on the side and busy around the map, for fear of provoking the fire.

Jiang Jun smoked a cigarette, frowned and was silent, and after a long time, Liang Haoyao stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, don't worry too much, there should be another deep meaning for the commander, and didn't he let you temporarily take the authority of the division commander." ”

Jiang Jun smiled to himself: "Chief of Staff, you are too worried, don't say that we are indeed two hours late, even if the General Seat has killed me now, I have no complaints, and the General Seat just wants to warn the officers and men of the whole army through this incident this time that they need to fight hard to kill the enemy and serve the country." I can still understand this. ”

"Well, since Shizao understands, then I'm too worried." Liang Haoyao nodded, admiring Qiao Anbang's ability to use people even more.

……………………………… Jinzhou said the army headquarters.

A devil staff officer ran into the headquarters in a panic, and said without saluting: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Wanjia Town has been captured by the Zhina, and we have lost two garrison wings. ”

"Captured?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed slightly, and then he said thoughtfully: "It seems that the people of Shina are in a hurry, how about their casualties?" ”

"It shouldn't be small, the Imperial Army Garrison Wing will not retreat, causing them heavy casualties." The devil counselor replied.

"Qiao Anbang's storming of the imperial army's defense line at any cost is really intriguing. However, we are not in a hurry, even if such a war of attrition is fought, we are not in a hurry, at most two months, our reinforcements will continue to flow, and the order will be passed on, and all troops should play the spirit of fighting to the death, swear to serve His Majesty the Emperor to the death, and will never allow retreat without orders, and swear to fight a decisive battle with the people of China to the end. Yoshio Shinozuka said.
