Chapter 117 The Japanese devils were being chased and beaten by our people? Is that right?
If it were death, Akashiba Yaezo would choose to charge forward.
Every soldier in the 10th Infantry Regiment should do the same.
The soldiers on the armored tracked vehicle were quite surprised to see the Japanese soldiers charging towards them.
They're already launching their "Banzai" charge? They haven't had enough fun yet.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, the finger kept pulling the trigger.
"Da da da!!!!"
The vehicle-mounted machine guns, along with the submachine guns in the soldiers' hands, opened fire on the Japanese troops simultaneously.
These armored tracked vehicles are like mobile combat bunkers.
Although the top wasn't covered, sometimes a single grenade thrown in by the Japanese could wipe out an entire truckload of soldiers.
However, their firepower was fierce enough, and they could fire while on the move, making their impact force unmatched by the Japanese army.
Despite casualties among the armored forces, the two sides engaged in a bloody battle, resulting in an overall overwhelming victory for the enemy.
The charging Japanese soldiers were brought down by concentrated firepower before they even got close to the armored units.
They shouted "Banzai" and then died amidst the roar of "Banzai".
"Bang bang!!!"
The vehicles crashed violently, sending the Japanese soldiers flying and crushing their bodies with their tracks.
The Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground were unable to dodge in time. Some were run over by the tracks, while others were run over by the tracks, leaving only half of their bodies still able to move.
Their suffering wouldn't last long, as the armored tracked vehicles following behind would soon wipe them out completely.
Akashiba Yaezo felt that the number of soldiers around him was decreasing, until finally, only three soldiers remained with him.
And ahead, those armored tracked vehicles were charging straight at them.
He raised his katana high and roared again.
"Charge!!! For the Emperor, samurai, charge!!!"
Akashiba Yaezo shouted, his rumbling stomach growling loudly.
The next moment, a bullet, accompanied by a whistling sound, shattered his head.
His body swayed slightly, and he finally fell to the ground.
"Click click!!!"
The armored vehicle tracks rolled over him, crushing his bones and internal organs, and blood spurted out in all directions.
The Japanese troops were scattering and fleeing in the darkness, but most of them could not outrun the tracks and wheels of the tanks.
On the city wall, Li Jianghe, Wang Mingzhang, and others stood side by side.
Long Wenzhang ran over to report to the leader:
"Report: The Japanese are in a large-scale rout, but the 10th Regiment has been surrounded. We can finish the battle before dawn."
"Alright, order the troops to quickly annihilate the Japanese army, and at the same time, send the reserve force and Yang Ruifu's First Motorized Infantry Battalion north to pursue the fleeing Japanese army."
Li Jianghe gave the order and looked at Wang Mingzhang, Zhao Weibin, and the others.
The surprise on their faces had not yet faded.
The flares had illuminated the battlefield, allowing them to see it clearly through their binoculars.
In the eyes of Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weibin, the Japanese 10th Infantry Regiment, which seemed invincible, now showed almost no ability to resist Li Jianghe's armored forces.
A single charge by the tank force broke through the defensive line, and in the ensuing fierce battle, the Japanese army was quickly defeated and annihilated.
Meanwhile, the troops attacking the Japanese rear used a speed that infantry could not even imagine to completely annihilate the Japanese rear defense line and flank artillery positions.
This terrifying combat efficiency, offensive capability, and ability to strike at the Japanese army were a sight that the poorly equipped Sichuan army could not even dream of.
Wang Mingzhang looked at Li Jianghe, his admiration undisguised.
"Jiang He, I knew your troops were good at fighting and well-equipped, but I didn't expect them to be this good and well-equipped."
After saying that, he said to Zhao Weibin:
"I used to think the chief of staff was flattering you, but now I know that wasn't flattery; he was just underestimating you."
Zhao Weibin said with a smile:
"I'll think about it later, how I can flatter Jiang He."
While the three were talking, Huang Zhenbiao's cavalry company had already arrived at the outer perimeter of the battlefield.
However, with the help of the flares, they discovered that something was amiss in the scene before them.
"Company commander, am I seeing things? Why do I see those Japanese devils getting beaten up over there?"
The adjutant beside him rubbed his eyes and picked up the binoculars again to check.
The cavalry company commander looked at the battle area, quite surprised, wondering why the Japanese were attacking the city and had opened fire outside.
Could it be that the Nationalist troops in Teng County launched a night attack on the Japanese positions?
It's also possible that Li Jianghe is a tough guy, known for his sneak attacks, which he has repeatedly succeeded in.
"Company commander, something's not right. Why do I see those Japanese soldiers being chased and beaten up?"
After hearing this, the cavalry company commander said coldly:
"What do you mean the Japanese devils were just chased and beaten? They weren't just a small squad of Japanese soldiers, they were a whole regiment. Even if our entire division went up there, we might not be able to defeat them."
As he spoke, he picked up the binoculars and looked at the battlefield illuminated by the flares.
You won't believe it until you see it; once you do, you'll be stunned.
"What... what's going on here!?"
He felt that the scene before him was challenging his worldview.
Because he saw a large number of armored tracked vehicles, armored tracked vehicles he had never seen before, fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.
No, it shouldn't be called a fierce battle anymore. At this point, the Japanese army had lost its will to resist and had lost all organization and discipline.
That was a massacre!
One-sided massacre!
The cavalry company commander rubbed his eyes and, after repeatedly checking, realized that it was impossible for both of them to be seeing things.
"Go...go and report the situation to the regimental commander."
He hurriedly gave the order.
The reinforcements sent by Commander Tang, Huang Zhenbiao, were stationed in the area south of Teng County, watching the flashes of explosions in the distance frequently illuminating the dark night sky.
"The fighting is fierce. I don't think the troops in Teng County will be able to hold out tonight."
As Huang Zhenbiao said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity, what a pity. I heard that Li Jianghe is a man of importance. After tonight, he will probably have to sacrifice his life for the country."
As they were talking, the clatter of hooves came from the darkness ahead.
It was a cavalry company returning from reconnaissance.
The cavalry company commander dismounted and ran over in a few quick steps.
"Commander...Commander, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
The cavalry company commander hadn't even run over when he started shouting.
Huang Zhenbiao's expression hardened as he said:
"What? The Japanese devils have attacked? Tell the brothers to get ready..."
Before he could give the order to retreat, the cavalry company commander waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"No, it wasn't the Japanese who attacked, it was...it was..."
"Can you fucking stop panting like that?!"
Huang Zhenbiao kicked him in the shin.
The cavalry company commander finally finished speaking.
"The Japanese devils have been driven away, it's so damn exciting! Our men are driving armored vehicles and beating the Japanese to a pulp!"
Huang Zhenbiao picked at his ear with his little finger and said:
"Wait a minute, you're saying the Japanese devils were driven away? And they even have armored vehicles? Are you drunk, Wang Laosi?"
As he spoke, he went to kick the calf of Wang Laosi, the cavalry company commander.
The deputy company commander standing next to Wang Laosi said:
"Commander, it's all true! We saw it with our own eyes. Our men drove armored vehicles and slaughtered the Japanese until they were running for their lives."
Huang Zhenbiao was also somewhat stunned.
"Is this...right? Our people driving armored vehicles, utterly annihilating the Japanese?"
