Chapter 160: Completely Annihilate the th Division! (First Update!)

Basically the entire Lashio was bombed into ruins, and the intensity of the so-called street fighting also dropped significantly.

In particular, the Sichuan Army is fully armed. In addition to tanks, they can call for artillery support at any time.

It can be said that the attack was very smooth. Without encountering any decent resistance, they easily occupied one-third of Lashio.

Such a rapid attack made Cun Yunsheng in the back feel a little confused.

"Something's wrong. Something's very wrong." Cun Yunsheng looked at the map in front of him and frowned slightly based on the feedback from the battlefield.

Although the Japanese army was frightened by the heavy artillery, they shouldn't have been defeated so quickly, right?
There's obviously a problem.

But Cun Yunsheng couldn't figure out what the specific problem was for the time being.

"What's wrong?" Meng was annoyed and didn't understand what his commander was mumbling about, so he asked in confusion.

"The speed of attack is really too fast." Cun Yunsheng said with a sigh.

"The little devils are not those natives. There is something wrong with them. Can't you see that?"

Hearing this, Meng Fan thought about it and found that it was true.

In just half an hour, they took over one-third of Lashio. The attack speed was too fast.

You have to know that the 56th Division of the Japanese Army had at least 20,000 people.

Excluding the two regiments and troops stationed in various places, there were at least tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Lashio.

There were only about four to five thousand Japanese troops in the first three lines of defense.

Apart from these, there should still be half of the Japanese troops in the city.

Even if half of them died in the bombardment of heavy artillery, there were still at least two or three thousand people in the city.

The results of it?
In half an hour, only three or four hundred Japanese soldiers were killed.

This number is really too small.

This aroused Cun Yunsheng's suspicion.

"Commander, something is indeed wrong. I summarized the battle reports in the past half hour, and the Japanese troops we killed only totaled more than 400 people." Meng Fanle said seriously.

"Well, it looks like Watanabe Masao is planning to do something." Cun Yunsheng nodded.

On paper, the Sichuan Army was invincible and won battle after battle, but it destroyed very few manpower.

"Are they preparing to retreat?" Meng Fanle guessed.

"We can't rule out this possibility. I suspect he is planning some conspiracy." Cun Yunsheng nodded first, then said doubtfully again.

"When people are crazy, they can do anything."

"You know, the honor of the 56th Division has been completely shattered by us. If you were him, you would definitely want revenge, right?"

Following Cun Yunsheng's analysis, Meng Fanle couldn't help but nod.

"So what you mean is that there is a trap ahead." Meng Fanle exclaimed as if he remembered something.

"Yes, it looks like Watanabe Masao is waiting for our troops to arrive ahead, so he abandoned so many blocks so quickly."

"What a pity, he is reluctant to put out the bait. How can you fish without making a nest?" Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"If he brings out a thousand people as bait, I will take it."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You really dare to imagine a thousand people.

"Aren't the air force too idle? Let them find out what the Japanese army is up to. I want to see what they are trying to do."

"In addition, all battalions and companies should suspend their attacks and hold their current defense lines. After the artillery battalion has completed its rest, it should immediately extend its artillery fire." Cun Yunsheng thought about it and immediately made reasonable arrangements.

"Yes." Meng Fanle responded, as if he remembered something, and asked in confusion.

"What if the enemy is covering the main force's retreat?"

"Retreat? Where to? Don't forget that Dong Dao from the reconnaissance battalion and Xue Tian from the guard battalion have not appeared. You might as well guess where they have gone." Cun Yunsheng glanced at the other party and said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle understood instantly and gave a thumbs up.

"Commander, you are really thinking far ahead."

Originally Meng Fanle was very confused as to why these two most elite troops did not appear on the battlefield. Now after hearing this, he instantly understood that they must be waiting for the Japanese army on the route of retreat.

On the other side, the pace of the attack in the city stopped, causing Watanabe Masao, who was hiding in the ruins, to frown.

"Has it been discovered?"

Since the street fighting plan failed, we had to both stop the Sichuan Army's attack and cover the retreating troops.

The best way is to lure the enemy into an ambush set up in advance.

In order to make this plan successful, he personally sent half of his troops to various blocks with the aim of luring the soldiers of the Sichuan Army into a trap.

The results of it?
The offensive has stalled!
This makes me feel a little uneasy.

His understanding of the Sichuan Army has always been limited to its powerful firepower and that it is a local ragtag army.

Not much is known about its commander.

But now he always felt that this commander was not simple.

"Mr. Commander, what should we do now?" A major looked at Watanabe Masao and asked respectfully.

"Keep waiting..." Watanabe Masao hadn't finished his words.

There was a roar from the sky, and four fighter planes were seen swooping towards this side.

The dive accelerated, and machine gun bullets fired wildly at the suspected building.

Da da da!
The machine gun bullet hit the Japanese soldier and broke into two pieces.

Machine gun fire, all the parents raised me in vain.

If it was just a single strafing, it could be the enemy conducting reconnaissance.

After all, the Japanese army would also use this method.

As a result, the fighter plane turned in one direction and continued to straf the area.

Seeing this scene, Watanabe Masao's face turned extremely ugly, he knew he was discovered.

"What a keen sense of battlefield."

If the strafing by fighter planes was just the appetizer, then the falling shells were the main course.

The area where Watanabe Masao was located came under heavy artillery attack.

As shells fell one after another, the killing radius was as large as a football field.

Although the buildings blocked some of the shock waves, the lethality continued to increase as one building after another was destroyed.

More and more Japanese soldiers were shaken to death, and some booby traps were also detonated by artillery shells.

Boom boom boom!
For a moment, the sound of explosions in this area resounded throughout Lashio.

He Shuguang couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw the Sixth Battalion Suicide Squad not far away.

"Damn it, the Japanese are so insidious. They have laid so many mines. If a large army rushes in, we'll be doomed." He Shuguang was frightened.

If the attack had not been suddenly stopped, I'm afraid this suicide squad would have already sneaked in.

What awaits them is a dense minefield, and they will all be doomed.

"The Japanese have been cunning for a long time. You have to be more careful when fighting them. This is what the regimental commander emphasized. You must be careful. When you see a corpse, ignore everything and shoot first." As he said this, Ma Yuan opened fire at a corpse not far away.

boom!
Perhaps it was a booby trap, and the body was blown into pieces.

Seeing this scene, He Shuguang's scalp went numb. Even though he had been through many battles, he still felt a little scared at this moment.

The Japanese are also good at playing dirty tricks.

Ma Yuan next to him was also shocked. He was just demonstrating it, but who knew that he accidentally set off a booby trap.

Feeling a chill on his back, Ma Yuan swore that next time he saw a corpse, he would shoot it twice, no matter if it had broken limbs or not.

"Be careful, everyone." Ma Yuan swallowed and said carefully.

"Yes." The members of the suicide squad did not dare to take it lightly, and they moved towards the area where the Japanese troops were with tense minds.

Originally they could have waited until the bombardment was over, but the temptation of Watanabe Masao was too great.

As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger!

If they could take down the Japanese divisional headquarters and capture Watanabe Masao alive, it would be a great achievement. Relying on the judgment of the impact point of the shells, the suicide squad members continued to advance with the help of the sound of the shells exploding.

If you encounter a building with a closed door, throw a grenade in through the window.

Wait until the smoke clears, then point the flamethrower directly at the door and pull the trigger.

There was a miserable wailing sound coming from behind the door.

"Damn it, so cunning, hiding behind the door, how did you know?" He Shuguang was sweating profusely. He didn't expect the Japanese to be so cunning that they actually hid behind the door.

Hearing this, Ma Yuan casually replied, "The key points of street fighting compiled by the regiment commander."

That is to be careful of enemy ambushes or booby traps behind the door.

To deal with this, the flamethrower is the most direct weapon.

After all, they are all wooden doors at this time. The instantaneous high temperature can burn the wooden doors to ashes in a short time, and the enemies behind will also let out shrill wails.

If you don't have a flamethrower, then blow up the wall and never go through the main entrance.

The shock wave from the wall explosion will cause a brief period of stagnation for the enemies behind the door.

If you rush in at this time, you can easily destroy the enemy.

"Um, can I feel this flamethrower?" Finally, He Shuguang couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the Pyro looked at the other party in surprise.

Are you trying to steal his job?

"I just want to try it." He Shuguang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's try it." Ma Yuan thought about it and signaled the flamer to hand the flamethrower behind him to He Shuguang.

With a resentful expression, the Pyro handed the weapon to the other party and replaced it with a Thompson submachine gun.

After putting the flamethrower on his back and feeling the heavy feeling coming from behind, He Shuguang showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Correct!
It is this feeling.

"Keep searching and moving forward." Ma Yuan waved his right hand, signaling to continue moving forward.

In fact, the direction they were heading was very close to Watanabe Masao's command post, only about a hundred meters away.

"Captain, look? Is that an antenna?" A sharp-eyed team member pointed at a black antenna on a builder's building in the distance and asked in confusion.

"It's true. The Japanese headquarters must be ahead. Speed ​​up, we have caught a big fish." Ma Yuan said excitedly.

Even He Shuguang couldn't help but get excited.

The pace of progress is much faster.

boom!
Ma Yuan, who was walking in front, was shot down!
Ma Yuan wailed as he fell to the ground. He felt pain in his shoulder and concluded that it was a penetrating wound.

"Don't panic, seven o'clock direction." Ma Yuan gritted his teeth and ordered.

Da da da!
Browning automatic rifle, firing rapidly into the distance.

Along with it were bullets from a Thompson submachine gun.

The dense firepower instantly curbed the enemy's attack.

At this time, a team member stepped forward and prepared to drag Ma Yuan to the rear for treatment.

result!

There was more gunfire from the other side.

boom!
This player was also knocked down.

"There is an ambush, be careful." At this time, He Shuguang also showed the qualities of a veteran and shouted calmly.

"smoke bomb."

"Yes!"

Two smoke bombs were thrown out with a hissing sound.

White smoke appeared, temporarily blocking the Japanese attack.

Another team member wanted to pull up the team member who had fallen down before, but the other team member roared in pain.

"Save the captain first."

Hearing this, the team member was stunned. Seeing the other party's wide eyes, he subconsciously wanted to continue dragging.

"Save the captain first, don't you understand?"

This time the team member had no choice but to give up, turned around, grabbed the captain and dragged him back.

The injured team members gritted their teeth and fired at the front.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side obviously reacted and fired back.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The bullet came and hit the team member again, but the other party still looked forward with angry eyes, endured the pain, and continued to pull the trigger to cover the team members' retreat.

"Old Li." The team member behind him roared tragically.

"Don't worry about me, save the captain first." The team member called Lao Li did not look back, but continued to shout to save the captain first.

Ma Yuan's eyes instantly turned red as he was dragged!

I secretly hated myself for being so careless.

When we reached a safe area, we tore open his clothes and saw that it was only a penetrating wound, so we immediately bandaged it with gauze.

The team member who shouted to save the captain first had already been beaten to a pulp, and his blood had soaked the ground red.

"Kill!" Ma Yuan suppressed his sadness and grief, and without saying a word, he picked up his submachine gun and fired towards the distance.

At the same time, several team members behind him quickly pulled the ring of the grenade and threw it far away.

boom!
boom!
boom!
With the sound of an explosion, the gunfire stopped immediately.

Da da da!
"Kill!" Ma Yuan still rushed to the front, not caring even though the gauze was oozing red with blood.

He wants revenge!

Lao Li was his comrade in the 200th Division. Now, in order to save him, he fell on the way to charge, which made him extremely heartbroken.

He Shuguang behind him also had tears in his eyes, and rushed to the front bravely and fearlessly.

Any enemy that stands in his way will be swallowed by a long fire dragon.

"Sir, the division commander, the enemy is just outside our headquarters, please retreat," the major urged.

Unfortunately, Watanabe Masao shook his head and rejected his proposal.

"I cannot retreat. I cannot let the 56th Division bear the shame. I am the shame of the 56th Division."

"Your Excellency the Division Commander." The major wanted to persuade him.

"Get out." Watanabe Masao glared.

"Hai!" There was no other way, the major could only go out with the remaining dozen people and continue to resist the enemy's attack.

The gunshots outside were getting closer and closer. Watanabe Masao looked at the map again. He didn't understand why he was losing miserably.

But in order to avoid being captured, he picked up the Type 14 Nambu pistol that he had never used.

He checked it carefully and then shouted loudly.

"The Emperor is onboard!"

boom!
Then he drank all the bullets.

At this time, He Shuguang also rushed in, heard the gunshot, and subconsciously pulled the trigger.

A dragon of fire rushed out of the gun barrel again, sweeping across the entire Japanese command post.

Fortunately, the fuel was running low and the fire dragon only lasted a few seconds.

But looking at the devastated command center, He Shuguang broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems I messed it up!
Ma Yuan, who was following closely behind him, looked at the command center that was burned into a mess and his face turned green in an instant. He didn't care that the other party was Master Yu and started cursing.

"Can't you take a look? This is the Japanese headquarters. You burned it down, and all the valuable information is gone."

He Shuguang was scolded and dared not say a word.

　I slept until four o'clock, but couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up and wrote an update!
