Chapter 424: No combat effectiveness (Chapter 2 is here today)(1/2)
As soon as the Japs' artillery fire coverage stopped, the Japs' tanks and chariots immediately launched a charge attack, followed by a large number of Japs troops, and many illumination bombs were continuously fired into the night sky for illumination.
, because these Japanese troops are ready to work together to capture the last defensive position of the Sichuan Army.
"Imperial soldiers, charge forward!!!"
"Let me wipe out all the remaining Chinese troops immediately. We must rush to occupy Anqing before sunrise!"
"Kill me! Kill me!"
"Assault! Assault!"
Captain Najima Kio, who was responsible for commanding the lead of the Japanese troops, also commanded the multiple vehicle-mounted machine guns on the Japanese tank and chariot troops, and opened fire at the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army they could meet.
He gave the order to attack with a fierce look on his face.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
...
...
With the heavy rain of machine gun bullets from the airborne machine guns of these Japanese tanks and chariots, they fiercely sprayed out from the mouth of the machine gun. After that, large tracts of machine gun bullets rained towards them like a violent storm.
Where are the remaining troops of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Sichuan Army?
The terrifying rain of machine gun bullets flew in all directions, splashing in various places on the position, causing sparks to fly and gravel to fly.
Then, while the Japanese's airborne machine guns on the tanks and chariots were firing, the Japanese's tank and chariot cannons were also rapidly bombarding them with artillery fire.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"TOM! TOM! TOM!!!"
"TOM! TOM! TOM!!!"
More than a dozen Japanese tanks fired together, and the shells rained down on the defensive positions of the remaining Sichuan troops as if they were free.
The artillery shells exploded all over the place, completely destroying all the simple defenses and firepower fortifications built by the Sichuan army.
In particular, the Japanese tank cannon can fire flatly, with flexible barrel movement angles and high accuracy. It can cause a large number of casualties to the remaining defenders of the Sichuan Army on the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
...
...
When the Japanese tanks and artillery groups blew up and destroyed all the defenses of the Sichuan Army, the remaining Sichuan Army troops hidden in the trenches were quickly blown out of their bunkers.
...
...
The next day, it was dawn.
The whole of Anqing fell to the enemy's front. There were corpses everywhere in Anqing city, including civilians in the city, and many corpses of Sichuan officers and soldiers who resisted until the last moment, lying in a pool of their own blood.
"Sigh! I have finally completed the task of occupying this place. Clean up the battlefield here immediately!"
"The Chinese army is so vulnerable!"
"Give me an order right away. After cleaning the battlefield, all imperial warriors can search the monsters' property here at will. All of them will belong to you!"
When the final victory was achieved in the battle, Najima Kio, the leader of the battle group, had a bright smile and issued his order.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
...
...
When Captain Najima Kio's order was given, all the Japanese officers and soldiers under him were overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement and thanked him.
"Hahaha! Go! Hurry up!"
"We will continue to attack the China Army at the next stop later!"
Seeing his behavior of winning people's hearts and receiving the sincere gratitude from his subordinates, Captain Najima Kio also laughed even more joyfully.
Then his troops immediately went to clean up the battlefield and collect their loot.
At this time, Major General Shigeichi Namada, the captain of the Namada detachment, also started the ceremony of entering the city with his large troops.
...
...
News of the fall of Anqing was quickly conveyed to Yang Sen, commander of the 20th Army, and Xia Jiongli, deputy commander and division commander.
"What a bloody devil!"
When the division commander Xia Jiongli, who was commanding the troops and exchanging artillery fire with the incoming Japanese ships, received the bad news after the fall of Anqing, he immediately became extremely angry and said.
"Military seat! The Japanese warships on the opposite side seem to have ceased fire. Should we continue to bombard them?"
"We have very few artillery shells left. If the shelling continues, I'm afraid it won't last long and we won't have ammunition to fight!"
Just after the division commander Xia Jiongli read the telegram about the fall of Anqing, the adjutant beside him Zhang Lafeng reported to him worriedly.
"Fight! Keep firing! It's best if you can sink the warships of these damn devils on the opposite side! At least one or two can be sunk! Only in this way can I vent the hatred in my heart!"
After hearing this, the division commander Xia Jiongli did not hesitate and issued the combat order to continue the bombardment to the end.
"Yes! Military seat!"
Hearing this, the adjutant Zhang Lafeng was very sensible and did not say much, but immediately went to carry out the order he issued.
Subsequently, the Sichuan Army's artillery unit also used their few remaining shells to bombard the Japanese warships in the distance.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
...
...
In an instant, one shell after another continued to bombard the Japanese warship.
rumbling,
However, most of these artillery shells were thrown into the river and lost their bombing effect.
...
...
At this time, the commander of the 20th Army, Yang Sen, had an extremely solemn expression. He read the telegram about the fall of Anqing, and then tore the latest telegram into pieces.
"Damn it!"
"Almost two entire regiments were killed in Anqing, but it was still lost!"
"I will definitely take revenge on you for this revenge, damn Japs!"
"I will definitely come back with revenge, Botian detachment, you guys just wait for me!"
"My revenge will be back soon!"
Then he became extremely irritable and roared angrily.

...
Hankou, the Chairman's residence.
"Niang Xipi! Anqing fell?"
"Falled in just one night? How did the Sichuan Army's 134th Division hold on to where it was?"
"So vulnerable?"
"Is the Yang Sen Department of the 27th Sichuan Army Group Army so vulnerable?"
As soon as the Chairman received news of the fall of Anqing, he immediately became furious and roared.
He even almost smashed his breakfast to the ground because of his rage.
Because once Anqing falls, it means that Marseille and many frontline strongholds in Wuhan will be attacked by the Japanese army.
