Chapter 158 Armored Attack
"Commander, our defense line has been completely broken by Japan himself. Now, the two sides are engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat." Xu Feipeng was a little worried. Once he entered the hand-to-hand combat, the 4th Infantry Division would definitely suffer huge casualties, which was almost inevitable.
"Well, our troops are still too lacking. It is really too difficult to let the 4th Infantry Division resist the attack of the three Japanese divisions." Qin Shou nodded. He also knew that the losses of the 4th Infantry Division this time would not be much smaller. However, this is war, and someone must sacrifice. As commanders, casualties are just a cold number for them.
"Can the front-line troops still hold on?" Qin Shou asked.
If the 4th Infantry Division could hold on or even defeat the Japanese army, he would not want to expose the armored troops too early. After all, once the armored troops were launched, they would definitely defeat the Japanese himself. But in the same way, the Japanese army would know the killer weapon of the anti-Japanese and rescue. At that time, if the Japanese army retreated decisively, the anti-Japanese and rescue troops would not be able to further expand the results of the war in this battle.
Qin Shou hopes to wipe out the Myanmar Front in one fell swoop through this battle. Even if this plan cannot be realized, at least they will have to kill their main force. In this way, it will be much easier in the next battle to conquer Myanmar.
Although the Japanese Southern Army had strong military strength, their combat areas were very vast. There were not many troops able to invest in the Myanmar battlefield. The divisions they sent to the Myanmar battlefield were already their last mobile forces.
"Captain, judging from the current situation, we can still hold on. Of course, the losses will be very large." Xu Feipeng gritted his teeth.
Qin Shou nodded: "That's good. After this battle, we will give priority to the 4th Infantry Division."
"Yes, commander." Xu Feipeng nodded without any worries.
On the battlefield, the fight continued. The fight against Japan and the Japanese army had already wrestled. Although the Japanese army had stronger hand-to-hand combat skills, the anti-Japanese and rescued Zhaozhai had an advantage in military strength, which made it difficult to solve the two sides.
As the Japanese army became more and more casualties, they were even gradually at a disadvantage.
"Dadada!" A team of Japanese troops were surrounded. They leaned against their backs, and the bayonet in their hands pointed at the anti-Japanese and rescue soldiers who surrounded them.
However, the attack they imagined did not begin, and the soldiers who fought against Japan and rescued the ** directly killed them with two submachine guns.
The soldiers who fought against Japan and rescued ** did not give up firing even in hand-to-hand combat. As long as they were sure that they would not accidentally hurt their own people, then it would be more effective to use bullets to eliminate the enemy cleanly than killing the enemy with bayonets.
In the Japanese headquarters, the smile on Lieutenant General Shigemasa Aoki's face had been formed and disappeared. It had been an hour since the Japanese army broke through the defense line for anti-Japanese and rescue. However, the victory they were looking forward to was not here for a long time.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the attack failed? This is absolutely not! How could the Chinese man's hand-to-hand combat level be compared with the warriors of the Ojiben Empire?" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki was a little anxious.
Although he thought this possibility would never happen. However, the current situation seems not very good to them!
"His Excellency Commander, our attack does not seem to be able to achieve an effective breakthrough. Do we need to send additional reinforcements to the battlefield?" suggested the lieutenant general Masato Masato.
He proposed the plan to launch a night attack and take this opportunity to defeat the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts in one fell swoop. If it fails to succeed, he will also bear the corresponding responsibility.
"Yes, Commander. Although we dispatched three regiments and nearly 10,000 people launched an attack, the powerful firepower of the Chinese people caused huge casualties. The Chinese people's troops on the defense line were obviously dominant." Major General Fury Isomura said immediately.
Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, immediately order the 124th United, the 153rd United and the 128th United to enter the battlefield. Defeat the Chinese people in one fell swoop!"
These three regiments suffered some losses during the daytime battle. However, they still had a lot of combat power. This is also the only power in the hands of Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki. If their attack still fails to succeed, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki might have to send both the engineers and baggage troops to the battlefield.
"Hi, Commander." The three Japanese division commanders nodded and bowed.
More than 6,000 Japanese troops set out again to reinforce the Japanese troops who were suppressed by the anti-Japanese rescue.
Originally, the anti-Japanese rescue team had already gained an advantage. However, the arrival of these Japanese new forces immediately lost their advantage. They were even beaten to retreat step by step.
"Captain, Japanese* himself once again sent thousands of reinforcements, and our front-line troops could no longer resist it." Xu Feipeng said anxiously.
"Have the Japanese sent out all their troops? They were planning to take a gamble." Qin Shou's face also became serious.
"Captain, can you send reinforcements like the front line?" Xu Feipeng asked.
Qin Shou frowned. Apart from the 4th Infantry Division, he did not have many reinforcements, only two battalions of scouts. Even if he put these two battalions in, he would probably not be able to withstand the Japanese attack, and would cause greater losses.
"Captain, the Armored Brigade is ready and can fight at any time. Japan* himself has put all their main forces in, and our armored troops can also go to fight." Hu Cuiming, the Armored Brigade Commander, suggested.
Qin Shou thought for a moment and nodded: "Order the 4th Infantry Division to retreat to the second line of defense. The armored troops were ready to be dispatched to destroy those days* himself."
"Yes, commander." Xu Feipeng and Hu Cuiming both replied.
Immediately, the 4th Infantry Division, which was retreating step by step, heard the sound of retreating. The officers and soldiers immediately gave up their contact with the Japanese army and retreated to the second line of defense.
At this moment, the Japanese army was also exhausted and did not immediately start pursuing. At the same time, they were also immersed in the joy and excitement of defeating the anti-Japanese war and rescuing the emperor.
"Onboard! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard, we have defeated the Chinese people!"
Countless Japanese soldiers were excited. They didn't know that the crisis was coming towards them.
More than 200 tanks and armored vehicles from the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Armored Brigade had entered the second line of defense. With the order of Brigade Commander Hu Cuiming, more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles turned on the headlights and attacked the first position occupied by the Japanese army.
