Chapter 861: Guards Commander Jiang Weiguo
"You appear to be an honest man on the surface, but you're thinking so loudly that you can probably hear it all over Chahar. Do you think I don't know? A replacement company was airlifted in yesterday afternoon. Are you planning to send it over?"
Li Shaoyi originally thought that the commander of the Guards Regiment sent by the headquarters was an honest man, but now it seems that is far from the case. This guy's brain works very quickly.
"Reporting to the commander, the reinforcements have been thoroughly assessed. Furthermore, from yesterday afternoon until now, they have participated in the airfield defense and engaged two Japanese infantry squadrons. At the cost of only seven casualties, they annihilated over 290 Japanese soldiers from the two squadrons."
While Commander Jiang was speaking, he also took out a combat report to show that he was not talking nonsense. It was all recorded and there was testimony from other troops. It was not just his own report.
Li Shaoyi knew that the railway station was a difficult place to defend, and the Japanese would definitely send heavy troops to continue the attack. It would be difficult to defend it with the existing troops alone, but if support troops were to be sent, they would have to be capable. Ordinary troops would not be of much use after going there, and would be beaten back by the Japanese, so it would be better not to send them.
"It looks quite lively. Go and give them a battlefield mobilization. Leave in half an hour. Bring your existing weapons and equipment. If you need anything, go to the logistics department and get it."
Li Shaoyi read the battlefield report carefully. It was pretty good. Compared with other troops of the Guards Regiment, there was a slight gap, but the combat effectiveness was stronger than that of ordinary troops. Sending them to guard the train station should not be a mistake.
"Reporting to the Marshal, Commander Zhao has engaged the Japanese 5th Division. Our reconnaissance has been flawed. The Kawasaki Regiment of the Japanese 5th Division is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the airport and has engaged Commander Zhao's direct guard company."
The artillery fire around the battlefield has never stopped, so it is impossible to judge based on the sound alone. Captain Jiang has not left yet, and the report about Zhao Tiezhu has come. You must know that Zhao Tiezhu has been away for less than fifteen minutes. Did the fighting start already?
"There is an observation point on the left side of the third floor."
Li Shaoyi looked at the window for a long time but saw nothing. Wang Zihan saw that it was in that direction and remembered that there was an observation point on the left side of the third floor to guide artillery and air force.
Li Shaoyi took two steps at a time and quickly came to the observation point on the third floor. Except for himself, everyone else was staying inside. The observation point itself was not very big, and there were several soldiers working inside. If you all went in, then they would just stop working.
Sure enough, in the direction where Zhao Tiezhu was heading, our armored vehicles and tanks had already engaged in battle with the Japanese 5th Division.
The Kawasaki Regiment of the Japanese Fifth Division had just wiped out a resistance organization in Korea two months ago, brutally killing all 4,500 members of the resistance organization and their family members.
The Japanese army in Goryeo spent several months but failed to dig out this resistance organization. After the Kawasaki Regiment arrived, they immediately deployed their troops and eliminated this army in less than three weeks. It is impossible to say that they were incompetent.
But Zhao Tiezhu's guard company was not given for nothing. This time it was a tit-for-tat battle, and it would depend on who was more powerful.
Li Shaoyi could not see the people from the Legendary Regiment through his telescope, but he could see that one of our armored vehicles exploded, affecting two nearby soldiers. Zhao Tiezhu's guard company was quite powerful, and even if they encountered a sudden attack, they could still hold their ground. It seemed that they had really encountered a strong enemy.
"Go to that building on the left, turn the gun barrel around, and ram the tank into it."
Zhao Tiezhu saw it very clearly. Just after his army left the airport, they were preparing to assemble on an open space in front. Who knew that the Kawasaki Regiment had actually advanced to some buildings not far from the airport? There was no need to think too much at the time. This must be a sneak attack.
We also have several observation points on the way forward from the Kawasaki Regiment, but now no message has been sent, which means that they have all been dealt with by them. They are definitely the elite of the Japanese army.
However, Zhao Tiezhu had already said that he was fighting against the elite. If it was an ordinary Japanese army, he would not be able to fight with enough energy.
Under Zhao Tiezhu's command, the two tanks turned their guns and accelerated forward. The support points on both sides of the entire building were all broken by the tanks. The three-story building suddenly collapsed, and the more than 30 Japanese soldiers on it were instantly buried in the construction waste.
Of course, our tanks were also buried at the same time, but there was an iron chain hanging on the back of the tanks. Next to Zhao Tiezhu, several tanks tried their best to pull them out, and they managed to pull out our two tanks, but they were also deformed. Fortunately, the people inside were fine. They threw a few grenades and blew up everything inside the tanks. The tank soldiers then went to other places to exchange for new tanks.
As for the dozens of Japanese soldiers in the building, you can only blame your bad luck.
"Go together, hit hard, and blow up all the surrounding buildings."
Zhao Tiezhu had just left the airport when he was troubled by these people from the Fifth Division. He didn't care about anything else at this moment. Anyway, all the people around had run away. You bastards actually wanted to take advantage of the buildings, so I will blow up all the buildings.
The Japanese soldiers were ready for battle and were just waiting for Zhao Tiezhu's men to rush over. However, they had no such idea at all. Instead, the armored vehicles and jeeps retreated quickly, and the tanks were isolated from the Japanese army.
Then the Japanese troops understood what was going on. More than 30 tanks opened fire at the same time. The two buildings at the forefront were instantly hit by more than 30 shells. The whole building was shaking. Hundreds of devils inside prepared Molotov cocktails and various explosives, waiting for Zhao Tiezhu's tanks to rush over.
But now they didn't charge, instead the Molotov cocktails in the building were detonated, and a raging fire immediately broke out. Coupled with some other explosives, it did not cause any losses to the 72nd Army. Instead, as soon as the Kawasaki Regiment met, three or four hundred people were wiped out, which was equivalent to a battalion being crippled. In the history of the 5th Division, this had never happened before. They wanted to give the other party a warning, but they didn't expect to suffer one first.
