Chapter 785: 2 Battalions Join 1, Dragon Leaves

785 The two camps merged into one, and the dragon left

Buzz!

In the sky, the Japanese bombers were flying from north to south.

Originally, these Japanese bomber groups were ordered to bomb the positions of the paratrooper battalion in Nanxiong and Lu Changtian's armored battalion.

The purpose was to help the Japanese cavalry regiment to open up the key node of Nanxiong as soon as possible.

The commander of the 40th Division of the Japanese in the south, the old Japanese soldier Aoki Shiroichi, kept asking for help from the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika.

Because, with the main force of Lu Dahai's entire division heading north to join forces with Zheng Quezi's 40nd Division to launch an attack on the Japanese th Division.

Previously, they were able to fight on equal terms with Zheng Quezi's 40nd Division and the Japanese th Division.

This time I couldn't bear it anymore.

An old Japanese soldier in Aoki Castle risked his life by cutting off his arm, and left part of the Japanese troops behind to cover their retreat and block the 1st and 2nd Divisions.

He led the main force of the division and accelerated the retreat to the north.

But the key issue is that if Nanxiong, the node blocking their retreat, is not opened up.

Their division retreated to Nanxiong, but was still stopped.

By then, they will have no way to retreat.

Therefore, if the Japanese 40th Division wants to withdraw smoothly, it must do so before the main force of their division retreats to Nanxiong.

Let the Japanese cavalry regiment completely recapture Nanxiong and open up their retreat route.

In order to achieve this, the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika also gave tremendous support to the Japanese cavalry regiment.

The bomber group that had been bombing the 86nd Division of the th Army in the past two days was directly changed to bombing the armored battalion and paratrooper battalion in Nanxiong first.

First help the Cavalry Regiment win, and then bomb the 40st and nd Divisions of the th Division of the Japanese.

So, the first group of Japanese bombers that came to bomb Nanxiong today saw a scene that shocked them.

On the ground, the cavalry regiment of the 6th Division was being hunted down by the soldiers of the armored battalion and the parachute battalion.

Their cavalry regiment has already lost.

"Baga, how could this happen.

How could the cavalry regiment of the Sixth Division lose?

The Chinese army on the other side actually has so many tanks,

The Japanese colonel who was leading the voyage was also shocked when he saw the situation below.

This made them dare not drop bombs easily.

It was only because, at this moment, the soldiers of the armored battalion and the parachute battalion who were pursuing were entangled with the remnants of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

At this time, if they dropped the bombs they brought.

That would mean blowing up the soldiers of both sides together.

"Colonel, what should we do?"

There was a Japanese pilot in the distance who made gestures to the Japanese colonel, asking whether he should drop a bomb.

At this moment, Lu Changtian and others who were chasing on the ground had also discovered the group of Japanese bombers coming from the sky.

This made Lu Changtian, Shanying and others feel a little nervous.

"Oh no, the Japanese bombers are coming.

Quick, disperse all the tanks and soldiers immediately.

Find a place to hide."

Lu Changtian quickly gave the order.

He was worried that the Japanese bombers were coming to bomb them.

They finally defeated the Japanese cavalry regiment.

Next, they will have no problem defending Nanxiong.

However, we cannot allow the Japanese bombers to bomb them.

Otherwise, if they were to suffer heavy casualties, Nanxiong, a strategic location that would block the Japanese 40th Division, would be in danger.

There will be no one to guard it. Once the Japanese 40th Division arrives, Nanxiong may change hands with just one charge.

That's no different than them failing their mission.

After all, the task given to them by Ye Qingshan was to defend Nanxiong to the last.

Whether it was the Japanese cavalry regiment attacking, or the main force of the Japanese 40th Division retreating here.

They all have to hold on, especially the main force of the Japanese 40th Division, if they retreat here.

Blocking the Japanese 40th Division is the ultimate purpose of their defense of Nanxiong.

In this situation, before the main force of the Japanese 40th Division arrived, neither of their two battalions could suffer too heavy casualties.

That would completely deprive their two battalions of their combat effectiveness.

"Tell all tank crews that they can abandon all tanks and armored vehicles if necessary.

Must survive.

The equipment was blown up by the Japanese.

People must live.”

Lu Changtian did not forget to add new orders later.

He was worried that his soldiers would risk the Japanese bombing in order to protect their tanks.

If the soldiers suffer heavy casualties in order to protect the tanks in their hands.

That's not a bad deal.

Soon, the soldiers from the armored battalion and the parachute battalion responded immediately after receiving the order.

All the pursuing teams immediately scattered and looked for places to hide.

At this moment, chasing the fleeing Japanese cavalry regiment was no longer their main goal.

The most important thing is to avoid this wave of bombing from the Japanese in the sky.

This scene was also seen by the commander of the Japanese bomber group in the sky.

The colonel of the Japanese flying regiment knew that he had to make a decision.

"Baga, the commander gave us the order for this bombing.

We must inflict huge casualties on the Chinese troops defending Nanxiong at all costs."

"Everyone, drop bombs immediately."

Then, the Japanese colonel made a gesture to the other Japanese pilots.

The order to drop bombs was given.

As for whether dropping the bombs in this way would cause accidental injuries to the soldiers of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Whoosh whoosh!

Immediately, these Japanese bombers dropped bombs one by one.

Rumble!

Soon, black mushroom clouds rose from the ground.

"These damned little Japs blew up even their own people.

In order to kill us, the Japanese high-ranking officials have gone crazy."

Shanying took a few paratroopers and found a ravine, where they lay down to avoid the Japanese bombing.

Not far ahead of them, the fleeing Japanese were also blown up.

After seeing this scene, Shanying realized how much importance the Japanese command attached to annihilating their paratrooper battalion and armored battalion.

The Japanese bombing lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended.

By the time the Japanese bombers flew away, the ground was already in a mess.

There was no sign of human movement within a radius of ten miles.

But soon, soldiers from the paratrooper battalion and armored battalion emerged from all around.

“Bah!

Damn, I was scared to death.

I almost thought I was going to be blown to death just now."

A tank commander from an armored battalion climbed out of a ditch beside the road, shook off the dirt covering his body, and cursed in shock.

The tanks of their armored battalion were involved in the bombing just now.

They were all given special attention by the Japanese bomber pilots.

One after another, the Japanese bombers swooped down and dropped bombs on their tanks.

In this case, once an aerial bomb falls around their tanks, it will not only destroy their tanks.

The terrifying power of the aerial bomb alone could kill them in the car.

In this situation, the tank commander gave the order decisively.

He and his tank crew immediately abandoned the vehicle and fled for their lives, finding the nearest ditch and crawling into it.

In the end, their tanks were blown up by the Japanese.

But all the crew members survived.

The situation of this tank crew was also happening in the tanks of other armored battalions around it.

After the bombing, the surviving soldiers from both the armored battalion and the paratrooper battalion.

They also had no intention of pursuing the defeated Japanese cavalry regiment.

Instead, they quickly gathered together and counted the number of people who were still alive.

As for the Japanese cavalry regiment, many people were killed in the previous bombing.

The Japanese cavalry regiment was cursed at their own bombers in the sky.

After the bombing, the surviving soldiers of the Japanese cavalry regiment had no intention of continuing to fight.

Many of them did not die in the pursuit of the previous armored battalion and the paratrooper battalion, but were instead killed by their own people.

In this situation, what's the point of fighting?

Some officers of the Japanese cavalry regiment directly gathered the defeated soldiers.

They were preparing to return to their own division along the same route they had come.

"Captain, the statistics are ready.

Now, we only have five tanks left that have not been destroyed.

There are still 362 people in the battalion, including 25 seriously injured and 50 slightly injured. "

On Lu Changtian's side, after leading his men to retreat to Nanxiong, he immediately counted the existing troops and equipment in his battalion.

"So, we have more than a dozen tanks that were destroyed in the previous bombing by the Japanese."

Lu Changtian sighed.

Damn Japs, this wave of bombing came at such a perfect time.

If they had arrived two or three hours later, they would not have paid such a heavy price.

But fortunately, they only lost a little more equipment.

The casualties were not heavy, which was a blessing in disguise.

“Go, let’s go and reunite with the paratrooper battalion.

We defeated the Japanese cavalry regiment, and the other Japanese had no chance to catch up.

Helped the Japanese 40th Division to open up a retreat route.

Next, we should join forces with the paratrooper battalion.

Prepare to deal with the incoming 40th Division of the Japanese."

The casualties on the paratrooper battalion's side were much more serious than those on the armored battalion's side.

But there were still nearly four hundred soldiers alive, excluding nearly a hundred seriously injured.

There were about 300 soldiers still able to fight.

Half a day later, the two battalions merged, and there were just about one battalion of soldiers still able to fight.

"Captain Lu, I have already reported our situation to the commander.

The commander told us.

The main force of the 40st Division has arrived and is joining forces with the nd Division to besiege the Japanese th Division.

The Japanese 40th Division was defeated and is retreating towards us.

The commander said that he would try his best to get the main force before the Japanese 40th Division arrived here.

Intercept them.

But if there are any remnants of the Japanese troops who are not intercepted and come here,

Let us stop it.”

Shanying saw Lu Changtian coming over and said to him.

Lu Changtian nodded: "Well, the situation is similar to what I thought.

We have overcome this battle and all the difficulties ahead.

There's only one final battle left.

Our two battalions must work together to overcome this final hurdle."

“Haha, no problem.

Brother Lu, it is very pleasant to cooperate with you."

Shanying hugged Lu Changtian and said with a smile.

Both of them are powerful generals specially selected by Ye Qingshan, so they can be said to appreciate each other.

“In this battle, our armored battalion suffered heavy losses in its heavy equipment.

Next, if any remnants of the 40th Division escape to our side.

You can no longer count on our armored battalion to provide you with heavy firepower support.

I have sent people to collect the remaining weapons and ammunition of the devils."

“Well, Brother Lu, you did the right thing.

I also asked the people in our camp to go out and collect with you.

When I contacted the commander, the commander told me.

Originally, the commander wanted to send an air force to carry out an airdrop for us.

But the Japanese transferred a new flying regiment from the north, which greatly increased the number of their fighter planes.

Our air force can't even fly over us now.

The plan to airdrop us is nothing but a joke.

From now on, we can only find ways to obtain weapons and ammunition on our own."

“What a pity, the Japanese ammunition base was bombed by the Jiaolong Squadron before.

It would be great if we could capture it."

Lu Changtian said regretfully.

"Come on, Captain Lu.

It's already good enough that we were able to destroy the Japanese's ammunition.

You also want us to seize the Japanese's ammunition.

You really think our Jiaolong team is gods."

At this time, the captain of the Jiaolong team, Zhulong, came over with two team members.

"Haha, Captain Zhang.

That’s not what I meant.”

Lu Changtian hurried to explain to avoid misunderstanding on the other side.

In this battle, no one, whether Lu Changtian or Shan Ying, could find fault with the contribution made by the Jiaolong team.

It can even be said that if the Jiaolong Squad had not blown up the Japanese ammunition base.

It is still uncertain whether the armored battalion can defeat the Japanese cavalry regiment head-on in the wilderness.

At this time, Zhulong took out the shoulder straps of the Japanese cavalry colonel regiment commander from his pocket and threw it on the table beside him.

"This is……"

Lu Changtian and Shan Ying looked over.

"The shoulder straps of the commander of the Japanese cavalry regiment, Daisuke Cishan."

Zhulong said lightly.

But after hearing this, Lu Changtian and Shan Ying were even more shocked.

Before, the two of them only determined that the Jiaolong Squad had launched a surprise attack and destroyed the enemy's artillery storage base.

But they didn't know that Zhulong personally led the team to behead the captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

"I'll just say it.

Towards the end of the battle, the various units of the Japanese cavalry regiment ran around like headless flies.

I was still wondering at that time.

The Japanese cavalry regiment is elite, even if they were defeated.

It shouldn't be so confusing.

It turns out that their headquarters was destroyed by you.

You killed the commander.

It would be strange if this wasn’t chaotic.”

Lu Changtian slapped his thigh, as if he suddenly realized something.

Zhulong just smiled, without showing off on this matter, and just said: "The war here is over.

In the following battles, our special operations team played a small role.

I'm ready to lead the team away.

Two of our team members were injured and I couldn't take them with me.

I need you to take care of me.”

"You guys are leaving? Where to?"

"Of course we're going to find the headquarters of the 40th Division of the Japanese. Where else can we go?"

“Okay, let’s go.

I leave my brother to you."

Zhulong turned around, waved his hand, and left with the other team members.

“This guy is really good.”

Looking at Zhulong's back, Shanying couldn't help but praise him.

Compared to Lu Changtian, Shanying is more familiar with Zhulong and the others, after all, they have worked together before.
