Chapter 5 Tentative Offensive

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, we have just received a report from the Air Force that the Chinese army's position in front seems to have been replaced by new defenders." A Japanese communications officer reported to Captain Yoshida, "The Air Force reminded us that the firepower of the Japanese Army seems to have been strengthened a lot.

."

"Nani?" Captain Yoshida looked confused, "Is the information accurate?"

The signal corps bowed and reported again:

"A reconnaissance aircraft of the Air Force was hit by anti-aircraft fire over the Korean Defense Line. These information were provided by the pilot of the reconnaissance aircraft and should be accurate."

"Yoshi!" Captain Yoshida showed excitement and a ferocious smile on his face.

His squadron was reinforced directly from Japan. After landing in Shanghai, although it was blocked by the Chinese army at all levels, the offensive of the Imperial Japanese Army was not stopped.

Although it has been less than a month since Captain Yoshida landed on Chinese territory, he has already been conquered by the land of this ancient country.

In the mind of this Japanese captain, the Yamato nation is the best nation in the world, and the Japanese Empire should also occupy China's vast and fertile land.

When he landed in Shanghai, Captain Yoshida saw the Chinese female students in the concession from a distance.

Compared with Japanese women, Chinese female students are taller, have fairer skin, and are more youthful and beautiful.

Thinking of one day being able to hold a woman under his body, Captain Yoshida felt his lower body harden, and a rush of blood rushed straight to Tianling Gai.

As long as the weak Chinese defenders in front of him are defeated, no matter how beautiful the Chinese woman is, she will have to let him enjoy it.

"Everyone!" Captain Yoshida said with a sickly flushed face.

A group of junior officers in the command post stamped their feet and stood at attention, bent down and nodded, shouting:

"Hiyi!"

"Since the Japanese army wants to challenge the military power of the Japanese Empire, they must be allowed to see the bravery of the Imperial Warriors. Any Japanese who dare to stop the Imperial Army will die!"

"Hiyi!"

Several lieutenants and second lieutenants looked excited and eager to try.

"Gentlemen, please take a look!" Yoshida led everyone to the battle map.

"This is the direction we attacked several times before. Under the heroic fighting of the imperial army, the Japanese must have been defeated." The location Yoshida pointed to is where the Jiangdong Camp is now.

After hearing what Captain Yoshida said, several junior Japanese officers showed expressions of contempt.

In the impression of these Japanese officers, although the Chinese defenders were not afraid of sacrifice and fought one after another, the soldiers' combat literacy was too low and their weapons and equipment were too poor. They were no match for the Imperial Japanese Army.

"No matter how many people are replaced in the ** army on the opposite side, they will all achieve the glorious record of my squadron." Yoshida felt that his lower body had relaxed a lot, his brain was no longer so hot, and his sanity gradually returned.

He said to a short, dark-faced second lieutenant:

"Qingshui-kun, please lead your subordinates to test out the firepower of the Chinese army for the squadron."

"Hey Yi, squadron commander, please rest assured!" Second Lieutenant Qingshui said loudly.

"Please cherish the lives of the Imperial Warriors and do not charge blindly. This is just a tentative attack." Captain Yoshida has completely calmed down.

"Hiyi!"

...

After the Japanese reconnaissance plane left, Jiangdong guessed that the Japs might launch an attack.

He called several company commanders to his side early and gave serious instructions.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Japanese soldiers wearing dark yellow military uniforms began to appear on the other side of the river.

As soon as Jiang Dong spotted the Japs in the telescope, there were bursts of screams above his head, and then shells exploded in the forward position, and smoke and dust suddenly appeared everywhere.

Fortunately, he had already explained that after the first round of shelling, almost all the soldiers had already hid in the bunker.

Jiangdong's battalion command post was nearly 600 meters away from the forward position. He stood at the observation port and looked out. The entire forward position had been shrouded in smoke and dust, and some weakly built fortifications collapsed in an instant.

Even from such a long distance, Jiangdong could feel the shock of artillery plowing the ground.

Many of the new recruits hiding in the bunker must have peed their pants.

After about three minutes, the Japanese shelling stopped.

Jiang Dong was a little confused. The Japs' artillery preparation time was too short.

After waiting for about another minute, no shells were seen falling.

When the smoke from the artillery fire dissipated, Jiangdong saw about 50 Japanese soldiers already on the river bank.

In the middle, a Japanese soldier who looked like an officer was crouching, shouting loudly and waving his saber.

The little devil’s tactics that have remained unchanged for thousands of years:

After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charged.

Thoughts were racing in Jiang Dong's mind:

Fifty Japanese? You don’t take the defenders seriously!

The bombardment before the attack only lasts three minutes!

Jiangdong combined the two situations and recalled some memories about the Japanese tactics in his previous life, and suddenly realized it.

This is just a tentative attack by the Japanese! Its purpose is to find out the number and firepower configuration of the defenders.

In the telescope, several figures began to appear on the position.

There were three company commanders and several squad leaders.

They were pulling and pulling the soldiers out of the bunkers, urging the brothers to return to their respective combat positions.

"Give me the order:"

Jiangdong stood at the observation port and said to the people in the command post without looking back:

"The first and third companies were concealed on the spot and were not allowed to be exposed. They were not allowed to fire a single shot without an order."

"Tell Zhang Shengqing to wait until the Japs approach 300 meters before firing. The heavy machine guns will not move and only two light machine guns can be used. He must leave half of the more than 50 Japs for me."

The signal corpsman quickly dialed the phone number at the forward position and accurately conveyed the battalion commander's order.

'Don't you want to come and detect my firepower point? Then I'll let you see clearly!'

Jiang Dong said fiercely in his heart.

"Also, the mortars are not allowed to move. Let Zhu Ergou protect his cannon. I will be of great use at critical times."
