Chapter 58 The Sichuan Army fought to the end!
Our eyes returned to the outskirts of Tonggu Airport again, and thousands of Sichuan Army troops had already arrived at the designated location.

Li Liansheng and Bula both stared at their watches, afraid of missing time and delaying the attack.

When three red flares rose slowly, Li Liansheng, Bula and others waved their hands, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army jumped up and moved towards the airport.

The Japanese soldiers at the airport subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the rising red flares with a look of confusion on their faces.

Who fired the flare?

Just when they were trying to find out who it was.

Suddenly, there were bursts of sharp whistling sounds coming from the sky.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

All the Japanese soldiers' pupils shrank suddenly. They realized that it was a shell and wanted to find cover, but they didn't know where to run.

Major Tanaka, who was fantasizing about getting a promotion, stared at the falling shells with dull eyes.

"Heavy artillery? 120mm???"

"How can this be?"

"This is absolutely impossible..."

"Impossible, how could the Chinese have heavy artillery?"

"If they have heavy artillery, why are they using it now?"

No wonder Major Tanaka acted like a madman; it was simply too unbelievable.

If they had used heavy artillery before, they might not have been able to hold the position.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the shells didn't give him any time to think.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
A series of violent explosions sounded.

Some Japanese soldiers who were unable to dodge were blown to pieces by the shells.

Especially those Japanese artillerymen who were resting received special attention.

"Get down, get down, and find cover." The Japanese soldiers came to their senses and began to flee in all directions, trying to find cover.

"Counterattack, counterattack, where is our artillery? Counterattack quickly." Major Tanaka shouted loudly.

The only way to hold our position now is to fight back.

But in order to take a small route to raid the airport, they did not carry any mountain artillery, only mortars.

The result was that the mortar's range was simply out of reach.

So now they can only passively take the bombing.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's been so long, and you're still dawdling?" Krupp said somewhat dissatisfiedly as he looked at the busy artillerymen.

He personally operated the 120mm heavy mortar, but still complained about the speed at which the artillerymen moved it.

After all, he was still very excited about the possibility of letting the Japanese suffer from heavy artillery bombardment.

Therefore, the firing speed is much faster, and naturally we hope that the transportation speed can be faster.

"Tell everyone not to stop, keep bombing. The commander said that even if the mortars are damaged, we must not stop. Today's mission is to use up all the shells." Krupp's words made all the artillerymen's faces change.

If it were in the past, they would have been overjoyed, but now they have really had enough.

There were more than a thousand shells. After all of them were fired, I probably wouldn’t be able to lift my arms.

Fortunately, the engineering company sent two platoons to help carry the shells. Otherwise, with only these few people, they would probably die of exhaustion before they could finish the fight.

Yes!

They are in pain and happiness now.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side suffered. They originally thought that they would just have to fire a few rounds of artillery shells and that would be enough.

The results of it?
The bombing lasted for ten minutes and there was no sign of it stopping.

This made Major Tanaka a little overwhelmed.

When did the expeditionary force become so luxurious?
Countless bombings?
This kind of scenario is simply impossible to happen.

If it weren't for the explosions that sounded in his ears from time to time, he would even suspect that he was hallucinating.

"Damn it, how come the expeditionary force has so many artillery shells?" Major Tanaka roared.

Unfortunately, no one could answer him because everyone was being bombed.

The artillerymen who originally wanted to counterattack were so frightened by the horrific artillery fire that they had no idea where to hide.

On the other side, in Tonggu City, Dai Anlan looked at the telegram sent by the Allied Forces Headquarters with a unhappy expression.

There are all kinds of questions above, such as why the airport was lost and why no troops were sent to retake it?

Don’t you know the importance of losing the airport?

For a moment, Dai Anlan felt extremely bitter.

He also knew the importance of it, but who could have thought that the Japanese would take a shortcut and go around to the back of the airport.

The troops sent out were also repelled by the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the main force of the Japanese army also took the opportunity to launch an attack. Even if he wanted to send reinforcements now, he had no chance.

Just when he was worrying about how to take back the airport, Zheng Tingji walked in excitedly.

"Commander, Commander, there is heavy gunfire coming from the airport."

"What?" Dai Anlan looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Gunfire. There are gunfire sounds at the airport. There are also heavy artillery. It should be the reinforcements of the Fifth Army that have arrived."

"Reinforcements from the Fifth Army?" Dai Anlan was confused again.

How come he didn't know that the Fifth Army's reinforcements would arrive so soon?

Just now Du Yuming was still considering whether to let the Fifth Army retreat. After all, losing the airport would mean losing the ancient city as well.

There is little point in sending the Fifth Army.

Finally, reinforcements arrived?
Isn’t this too ridiculous?

"Are you sure it was really the sound of gunfire?" Dai Anlan asked again.

"It was really the sound of gunfire. I have been a veteran for more than ten years. How could I have misheard the sound of gunfire? Among them was the sound of heavy artillery. Apart from the Fifth Army, I really can't remember which other troops are closest to us." Zheng Tingji shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Dai Anlan couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he still told the other party the contents of the telegram.

"What? You mean, it's not the Fifth Army? Then who could it be?" Zheng Tingji was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he had guessed wrong.

"But, besides the Fifth Army, who else could be near us?"

This question stumped Dai Anlan, as he didn't know who else was nearby. "I can be sure that it's definitely not the Fifth Army," Dai Anlan said with certainty.

The two men looked at each other, and then Dai Anlan decided to send someone to contact them to see who it was.

"Forget it, send someone to investigate and see which unit it is. If they are friendly forces, take them to the city."

He never thought that this force was coming to seize the airport.

Maybe the other side just went south to Tonggu, and then happened to encounter the Japanese troops at the airport, and the two sides started fighting.

"Yes, Master." Zheng Tingji responded quickly.

On the battlefield, the sharp whistling sound still hit the Japanese positions, and the endless stream of shells made the Japanese army mentally collapse.

Seeing this, Cun Yunsheng, who had been observing the battlefield, fired another flare, signaling everyone to launch an attack immediately.

"Charge, kill the Japs." Xue Tian took the lead and jumped out of the position with a Thompson submachine gun in hand.

The rest of the guard company soldiers also jumped out of their positions and rushed towards the airport.

On the left and right sides, soldiers from the two battalions began to move quickly under the cover of artillery fire.

Hundreds of semi-automatic and fully-automatic firearms fired crazily, and Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

"Damn it, it's the Chinese army, it's the Chinese army, fight back quickly." Major Tanaka shouted immediately after seeing this scene.

"Is this the Sichuan Army? Why is there a Sichuan Army here?"

Originally he thought it was a reinforcement force sent by the 200th Division in the city, but who knew it was actually a Sichuan Army Corps, which completely confused him.

He thought it was incredible.

The Sichuan Army unexpectedly appeared on the Tonggu battlefield.

The key point is that this Sichuan Army is different from others and can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Mortars, heavy artillery cover, large numbers of automatic weapons, and countless grenades.

Such powerful firepower caused the Japanese army's morale to plummet.

"Charge! Kill all these little Japanese devils." Li Liansheng was also very fast. Although he was in charge of the left wing, it did not mean that the left-side flanking could not be the main attack.

After handing the command of the first battalion to Snake Butt, he led the company as a suicide squad and charged forward all the way.

The Thompson submachine gun fired at any enemy that stood in its way.

After the improvement, the firepower of the squad became very strong, and basically every squad was guaranteed to have a submachine gun, so in close combat, they were not inferior to the Japanese army, and were even slightly stronger.

Faced with such powerful firepower, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold on.

Especially with the loss of a large number of mortars and light machine guns, the bolt-action rifles in their hands were no match for automatic firearms.

It didn't take long for Major Tanaka to realize something was wrong. His task force seemed to be surrounded, with enemies on all sides.

"Baga, is this the Sichuan Army? Why do they have so many mortars?"

"Why do they have so many automatic weapons?" Major Tanaka couldn't understand it for a moment.

First there was heavy artillery, then a large number of mortars, and finally a large number of automatic firearms.

It is simply unimaginable that their firepower far exceeds theirs.

"Major, let's retreat." Captain Sakai couldn't help but persuade his subordinates as he looked at their retreating troops.

"Baga, the empire's warriors will never retreat." Major Tanaka refused without thinking.

boom!
Another 120mm mortar shell landed not far away, making his ears buzz.

"Prepare the grenades." Xue Tian led the guard company to charge forward, but they were blocked by a group of Japanese troops. Without saying a word, he signaled his subordinates to take out the grenades.

Whoosh whoosh!
More than a dozen grenades were thrown everywhere.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions was mixed with wailing.

"Follow me!" Xue Tian didn't care about his life when fighting. He rushed forward with a dozen people and pulled the trigger without waiting for the remaining Japanese troops to react.

Da da da!
A volley of bullets directly killed the still wailing Japanese soldiers.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

For a moment, the roar resounded throughout the entire battlefield. The roar of nearly a thousand people was deafening.

The color of heaven and earth changed.

Cun Yunsheng, who was watching the battle from the rear, couldn't help but get excited and wanted to pick up his gun and go to the battlefield. However, he was stopped by Meng Fanle and others and was not allowed to move forward at all.

"Commander, you are still responsible for commanding the battle. It is not your turn to fight." Meng Fanle said with a smile.

If this goes wrong, he will definitely be finished.

"I just want to kill a Japanese soldier with my own hands." Cun Yunsheng said somewhat unhappily.

"No problem, I'll ask Li Wula to capture a few prisoners for you to try out the sword yourself." Meng Fanle's words made Cun Yunsheng roll his eyes.

What's the point of killing prisoners!
How can I feel anything when fighting like this?

"Kill!"

"kill……"

"Kill Xiao Dongyang..."

There were roars, gunshots, wailing, and all kinds of sounds mixed together.

The high-spirited soldiers of the Sichuan Army rushed to the Japanese army with the help of mortars and shot and killed them with the powerful weapons in their hands.

Faced with the fully armed Sichuan Army, the Japanese army was beaten without any chance to fight back.

Some Japanese troops who could no longer bear the pressure began to retreat.

Some Japanese soldiers wanted to fight back, but they avoided the mortars and were instead met with a hail of grenades.

Before his mind could come to its senses, countless bullets attacked again.

Many Japanese soldiers were completely frightened and retreated.

Wherever the Sichuan Army soldiers went, the Japanese soldiers wailed and screamed.

They charged forward for hundreds of meters and drove the Japanese troops everywhere.

"Blow the charge, everyone charge forward, let the Japanese know that our Sichuan Army is not cowards." Seeing that the time was ripe, Cun Yunsheng immediately ordered a general attack.

"Yes." The messenger who received the order began to blow the charge horn.

　Suddenly I was notified to put it on the shelves. First, there are two chapters with 6,000 words. There will be two more chapters tomorrow during the day. If it is put on the shelves, I still have to have the attitude of 10,000 chapters! In addition, I would like to thank everyone for their support! Thank you!
