Chapter 79 Is the leader crazy?

If you think about it carefully, given the attitude of the British troops at the airport, they would definitely not believe what they said.

I might even wonder if there's some conspiracy going on.

So Lin Yi didn't continue to argue with him, but continued to stare at the Japanese soldiers in front of him.

"It's really a regiment, but there are quite a lot of soldiers in this regiment. The Japanese army really values ​​us." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but say as he looked at the long team in the distance.

"Tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, tsk tsk tsk, this should be the enemy's search detachment."

When they heard the word "search team", others looked over with curiosity, as if they wanted to know what a search team was.

Following Cun Yunsheng's explanation, the others suddenly realized, isn't this a mechanized force?
Is it similar to the 200th Division?
Cun Yunsheng felt that there was nothing wrong with everyone’s understanding, and it could indeed be understood that way.

"Commander, it seems that we finally made a breakthrough last time." Meng Fanle said with emotion.

"I never thought that one day we would be able to receive such high treatment."

"Commander, the Japanese army is now heading towards the airport. What should we do next? Continue waiting?" Lin Yi always felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, so he looked at Cun Yunsheng, hoping to get an answer.

"Don't be in a hurry. Wait a little longer and see if there are any Japanese troops." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, indicating not to be in a hurry.

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned. There are still Japanese troops?

How can this be?

A regiment attacking the airport already showed how serious the matter was, so how could there be Japanese troops involved?
At this moment, Lin Yi had no idea how big a mess they had made.

A regiment was defeated head-on, and more than ten officers below the rank of colonel were killed. This can be said to be the first time that the Japanese army suffered such heavy casualties since entering Burma.

That is why the Japanese army attached so much importance to the Sichuan Army and vowed to completely wipe them out in order to wash away the shame they carried.

"There shouldn't be any more, right?" Long Wenjian also felt that a regiment of Japanese troops was enough, especially with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, which would definitely be enough to give the Sichuan Army a hard time.

Only Cun Yunsheng still shook his head and decided to wait a little longer.

Sure enough, not long after, the reconnaissance company reported that another Japanese regiment was spotted further away.

Now everyone looked at each other, unable to believe this was true.

Two squadrons?

Are the Japanese army crazy?

Just to deal with them?
Did they do something that angered God and the people?
"Commander, I'm afraid we really need to notify the British troops at the airport." Lin Yi said with a dry mouth. He originally thought that a regiment should be able to hold on with the fortifications at the airport.

But now it is probably impossible for the two squadrons to hold on.

"No, if we send a telegram to the British army now, they will not believe it." Cun Yunsheng shook his head again to reject his proposal.

"If you were the British, would you believe that two Japanese regiments were going to attack the airport?"

If you think about it, it's true.

Lin Yi felt that what his group leader said made sense, but he just ignored it.

Isn't it bad?

If they are investigated later, they will definitely be in trouble.

"Don't worry so much. The British army may have blocked the Japanese attack with their strong fortifications. Besides, our current mission is to attack Tangji. The loss of the airport has nothing to do with us." Cun Yunsheng shook his head to signal Lin Yi not to worry too much.

This guy is good in everything except worrying about this and that, always worried about disobeying orders from his superiors.

On the other side, Colonel Rogers was leisurely eating steak and drinking red wine.

Colonel Rogers has been in a much better mood since the Sichuan Army left the airport.

After all, if I can't see Cun Yunsheng, I won't think about the embarrassing scene.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should let someone have some fun.

The subordinate ran in hurriedly and said in a panic.

"Colonel, it's bad, the Japanese are coming."

"What? What did you say?" Colonel Rogers was stunned, then roared angrily.

"That damn Sichuan Army is back again? Didn't they go to attack Tangji? Why are they back again?"

"No, this time it seems to be the Japanese army." The subordinate explained quickly.

"No, it must be the damn expeditionary force pretending to be one again. Tell everyone not to let them enter the airport. If necessary, use cannons to warn them." Having lost face once, Colonel Rogers would not lose face again.

Even if it was really the Japanese army this time, he would never surrender.

Not to mention, he seriously suspected that it was another expeditionary force.

After all, they couldn't tell the difference between the Japanese army and the expeditionary force. In Rogers' eyes, all yellow monkeys looked the same.

"If it's friendly forces, would this violate military law?" The subordinate hesitated and asked again. After all, attacking friendly forces is a serious crime.

Even Rutgers may not be able to afford it.

"Humph, I have reason to suspect that they are fake. If they are real, then they should raise the white flag and surrender. In that case, I will treat them as friendly forces and provide them with certain supplies." Colonel Rogers is now eager to wash away this shame.

If the expeditionary force could surrender to them with a white flag, perhaps this shame could be washed away?

To Rogers, the expeditionary force was not worthy of being their ally.

Just a bunch of poor wretches begging for alms.

"Yes, Colonel." The subordinates thought it made sense. If the Allied Command asked questions, they would say that they had mistaken the other party for the Japanese army.

I believe the Allied Command will not do anything to them.

It must be said that in addition to the strong fortifications, the airport also has a large number of heavy artillery.

Among them were twelve 18-pound field guns.

This is Colonel Rogers' confidence.

In fact, if it was the Japanese army that came first, Colonel Rogers would have surrendered, after all, he really didn't want to fight with the Japanese army.

But the humiliating experience of surrendering before made him feel that even the Japanese army had to fight a battle before surrendering.

Not to mention, he seriously suspected that the people on the other side were the Expeditionary Force disguised as the Japanese army.

The British artillery at the airport received the order and immediately began to move their guns.

"Gunner No. 1 is ready..."

"Gunner No. 2 is ready..."

"Gunner number three is ready..."

"Gunner number four is ready..."

"........."

"Fire." With the order from the British artillery commander, twelve field guns roared at the same time. The advancing Japanese heard the whistling sound from the sky and subconsciously raised their heads. A lieutenant looked at the shells that were about to fall and roared with fear.

"Baga, it's heavy artillery, heavy artillery."

"Hide quickly, hide quickly."

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

The shells dropped simultaneously from twelve 18-pound field guns were extremely powerful.

The huge shock wave directly blew away the surrounding trees.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and many Japanese soldiers were pierced in the chest by sharp wooden sticks, spitting out large amounts of blood from their mouths.

They simply couldn't understand why the British troops at the airport would fire at them?
Colonel Hirai Usuke looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

"How dare the British troops in the airport attack us?"

"No, it shouldn't be the British army. I suspect the British troops in the airport have retreated long ago. It should be the Sichuan Army." The chief of staff shook his head and said.

"Only they are so bold as to attack us. But aren't the Sichuan Army a ragtag group? How come they can use heavy artillery? Did the British teach them to do that?"

"These damn British soldiers."

Colonel Hirai Uesuke felt that the chief of staff's words made some sense.

After all, the British troops they met would flee at the sight of them, abandoning their weapons and armor. Even if they were riding in trucks, they could not catch up with the enemy.

Fight back?

That doesn't exist.

Therefore, Colonel Hirai Usuke felt that it must be the Sichuan Army that was counterattacking.

The trapped beast still fights!

Thinking of this, Colonel Hirai Uesuke immediately ordered his subordinates to launch a counterattack.

Fortunately, his regiment still has tanks, so they still have some ability to fight back.

boom!
It has to be said that the Japanese army was still very fierce. Even under heavy artillery, they advanced towards the airport.

The Type 95 tanks fired continuously at the fortifications.

However, due to the caliber of the shells, the fortifications could not be destroyed for the time being, and for a while the two sides were in a stalemate.

"Colonel, it can't be the Japanese army, right? The expeditionary force shouldn't have tanks, right?" The subordinates were frightened by the fierce attack and hurriedly said to Colonel Rogers.

"That shouldn't be the case." At this moment, Colonel Rogers was also shocked. He originally wanted to teach the other party a lesson and let him know his place.

Who knew that this time they would actually provoke the Japanese army.

For a moment, Colonel Rogers also fell into a panic.

Retreat or surrender?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision.

"Colonel, how about surrendering?" The subordinates didn't seem to feel ashamed at all. After all, everyone was surrendering and retreating, so they didn't consider surrendering as a shameful thing.

"Let me think about it." Deep down, Colonel Rogers was still unwilling to believe that the army across from him was the Japanese.

However, he had heard that the expeditionary force's firepower was not that strong.

There are also tanks, these are definitely the Japanese army.

Just surrender now?

Would it be a bit late?

At this time, the artillery positions in the airport continued to roar. After all, they were heavy artillery, and the Japanese artillery fire could not reach them for the time being.

"Baga, ask where the field artillery regiment is? We need their fire support." Colonel Uesuke Hirai felt that it was not a good thing to be bombarded like this all the time, so he shouted angrily.

At the same time, he kept cursing in his heart, saying that these artillery uncles always liked to procrastinate.

Colonel Soji Tomei frowned when he received the telegram and tore it up directly.

"Why rush him? Let him see for himself whether this broken road is passable."

Looking at the dilapidated mountain road in front of him, Colonel Souji Tomei became even more annoyed.

He doesn't want to speed up?

That has to be accelerated.

Don’t you see that the engineering battalion is already busy and out of breath?

How to speed up? He didn't want to hear the sound of heavy artillery coming from afar. He also knew that it would be difficult to take the airport without heavy artillery support.

Thinking of this, Colonel Souji Tomei could only order the engineering battalion to speed up the progress and assist the heavy artillery in advancing.

Cun Yunsheng and others who were lying in ambush on the top of the mountain looked at each other in surprise when they heard the explosion coming from the airport in the distance.

"The British are becoming more powerful." After listening for a while, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but say in amazement.

"It should be the British 18-pound heavy artillery. When will we have such heavy artillery?" Krupp asked enviously as he listened to the explosion coming from afar.

"It's almost there, it's almost there. Do you see the heavy artillery in the distance? It will be ours soon." Cun Yunsheng said, pointing at the field artillery regiment that was struggling to advance in the distance.

"Ah? The Japanese heavy artillery is not as good as the British heavy artillery. The caliber is too small." Krupp looked down on the Japanese heavy artillery, leaving Cun Yunsheng speechless.

"What do you want?"

"I heard that the US military has a 155mm howitzer. Do you think you can get it?" Krupp rubbed his fingers and said greedily.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's face suddenly dropped.

"You're really getting carried away with your 155mm howitzer. Do you understand how to use a 120mm heavy howitzer?"

"Tell me, how many people are there in the artillery company now?"

Cun Yunsheng felt that he had to give this guy a warning. It had not been long since he even looked down upon the 120mm heavy howitzer.

"Hehe, I'm just a little jealous of the British army's heavy artillery." Krupp scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, we will have heavy artillery." Cun Yunsheng glared at him unhappily, then continued to sigh.

"If anyone tells me that the British army can't fight, I won't get angry with them. Look, they are fighting well. The Japanese must have suffered heavy losses. I must report to the Allied Command and request a commendation for Colonel Rogers for his courage to fight and not fear life and death when facing the Japanese attack."

"It defended the glory of the British Army and demonstrated the honor of a soldier."

Except for Meng Fanle and Long Wenjian who knew the inside story, everyone else looked at Cun Yunsheng in shock, as if to ask, is this still their commander-in-chief?

Hasn't he always been very vindictive?

Why should we commend the British Army?

Only Steve and others who didn't understand the truth couldn't help but give Cun Yunsheng a thumbs up, thinking that he was a real soldier.
