Chapter 104: The Sichuan Army preparing to defend the Epiphany Temple
"Hahaha! Yoxi! Yoxi! Yes! Just like this, blow up all these damn Chinese troops to death! Let's see how they can resist our imperial army and occupy the Temple of Enlightenment!"
Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, the captain of the 35th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, looked at the heavy artillery troops on his side, which were bombing the Suwano Temple indiscriminately and inflicting heavy casualties on the troops of the 18th National Army Division.
, he was also in a good mood and laughed heartily.
Major General Akiyama Yoshitsune, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade, personally supervised the reserve forces on the heavy artillery side, ready to assist his 35th Infantry Regiment at any time to launch a comprehensive general attack and win the Sudden Realm in one fell swoop.
Temple, end the battle here.
"Yo Xi! Let our heavy artillery troops continue to increase the intensity of artillery bombing. We must annihilate the Chinese army at Dunwu Temple in one go. We must fully occupy this place before the sun goes down today!"
"This is an order from our division commander!"
"Our Ninth Division still has many combat missions that need to be completed, so we can't waste too much time in such a small Temple of Enlightenment!"
"In addition, let the 35th Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Fuji Sueyoshi prepare to launch an all-out attack immediately after the artillery fire coverage and bombing is completed. It must fully capture Sugo Temple!"
"Complete the combat mission assigned to us by the division commander!"
The brigade commander, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, issued an order to the communications troops under his command.
"Hai!"
Signal soldier Oda Miku also immediately followed the order and left.
"After occupying the Dunwu Temple, there will be Chen Jiaxing and other positions!"
"These vulnerable Chinese troops are no match for our Imperial Army. If they hadn't had the advantage in strength, they would have been even less able to compete with our Imperial Army!"
"With inferior weapons and equipment and low fighting awareness, they are just a bunch of rabble!"
"But even if these Chinese troops now have a strength advantage in fighting, it is only temporary!"
"After the newly formed 10th Army of our empire conducts a full-scale landing operation, the China Army's strength advantage will be gone. At that time, we can also carry out encirclement, suppression, outflank and annihilate all the main forces of the China Army, and capture the entire China in one fell swoop.
Of the kingdom!”
After the brigade commander, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, issued the order,
He is also becoming more and more ambitious,
And when he thought about being able to participate in the battle to expand territory and achieve victory, his blood boiled even more. He wished he could become invincible immediately, lead his troops to sweep across the entire Songhu battlefield, end the battle as soon as possible, and become the last
The winner, and the performance of the 9th Division under his command made it the most dazzling Japanese army in the entire army.
When the brigade commander, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, let go of his imagination and ambitions more and more,
The Japanese heavy artillery group also became more and more fierce, launching artillery fire coverage and bombing operations.
The bombing of the entire Dunwu Temple was on the verge of collapse. Smoke was everywhere, buildings collapsed, and many national soldiers and soldiers who had no time to evacuate were killed one after another by the bombing.
"Master! We have already suffered more than half of our casualties. If there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid we will really lose the Dunwu Temple!"
"Now the entire Japanese Ninth Division is joining forces with the Japanese Third Division to attack our various units from the east and west. The most brutal battle is on our side and the front on the Baoshan City side!"
Adjutant Cheng Bingkun looked at Master Zhu with a disgraced face and said in fear again.
"I also want to have reinforcements and evacuate immediately! But once we evacuate, this place will be lost. At that time, it will not only be the fall of Dunwu Temple, but also the entire Baoshan City and the front lines around Chen Jiaxing.
Totally lost!"
Teacher Zhu retorted with a solemn expression.
"Then what should we do now? The firepower of the Japanese heavy artillery unit is very fierce!"
"And there aren't many fortifications here that can be used for concealment. Now the troops are hiding in some buildings!"
Adjutant Cheng Bingkun said in a panic.
"What else can be done? After the Japanese artillery fire has covered the bombing, immediately launch a counterattack and hold on until the reinforcements arrive here!"
Mr. Zhu was also helpless and replied loudly.
"..."
Adjutant Cheng Bingkun.
He was speechless for a moment and became more and more frightened.
Because he didn't want to die here like this.
As for the Sichuan Army’s position,
"Should we go over to defend the Suwu Temple now, or wait until the Japanese heavy artillery unit's artillery fire has completed the bombardment before we go there?"
Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, put down the military telescope in his hand and asked Yang Hanzhong, the commander of the 135th Division of the Sichuan Army.
"Need not to say more? We must wait until the Japanese heavy artillery unit's artillery fire covers and bombards us before we go over!"
"If we rush out now, do we want to die?"
"The bombing by the Japanese heavy artillery unit is so likely that a large area of the national army will be killed. Didn't you see it?"
Division Commander Yang Hanzhong continued to hold up the military telescope in his hand and continued to observe the bombardment of Dunwu Temple by the Japanese heavy artillery troops.
Then, without thinking twice, he refused to go out immediately and risk his life to switch to defense and fight.
"this........"
But Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, hesitated.
"What else are you thinking about? Although we are now equipped with sophisticated German weapons and equipment, we don't have a heavy artillery group! If we go out now, we will die!"
Yang Hanzhong, commander of the 135th Division of the Sichuan Army, retorted very frankly.
"..."
Yang Hanyu, commander of the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army.
