You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you ended up with a German-equipped division

Chapter 156 Eliminates 5 Japanese Soldiers

"Order the troops to launch a frontal counter-offensive!!! After defeating these enemy forces, we will then reinforce the main division force!!"

Kei Seya finally gave the order.

"Hai!!!"

Kitano Suzuki answered hastily.

The initial attack and defense tactic quickly shifted into a fierce battle fought in the darkness.

To what Seya Kei didn't expect, this group of troops from the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army, despite their poor equipment and low combat skills, showed no fear in the face of their charge.

The two sides clashed fiercely, the fighting spreading across the entire front.

On many fronts, brutal hand-to-hand combat even broke out.

Those Sichuan Army and Northwest Army soldiers, even though they were thin and weak, even though they were only wearing straw sandals, and even though many of them did not have bayonets.

But they still mustered their full passion, took out the broadswords they had brought from their hometowns, roared, and with bloodshot eyes, attacked the Japanese soldiers.

They were no longer soldiers; they were more like bloodthirsty wolves.

They were a pack of wolves, howling as they tore at the Japanese invaders who were encroaching on their territory and insulting the young and innocent.

Everything became a weapon.

Water bottles used on the march, helmets, and even their teeth and fingers became weapons to eliminate the Japanese army.

"kill!!!!"

Only this belief remains.

There was no longer any fear of death, nor any desire for life.

They only want to either kill all the opponents or be killed by them.

The Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Japanese troops on the other side were like two huge wild beasts, fighting fiercely in this area.

Meanwhile, the guard battalion and tank battalion showed no signs of stopping their fighting against the Japanese army.

After advancing a certain distance, the tank battalion discovered that almost none of the Japanese troops who had broken through the encirclement remained.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Chengshan decisively changed direction and charged towards the Japanese troops together with the guard battalion.

Although their tank units were fierce, their numbers were limited, and the battlefield was wide. In the darkness, a large number of Japanese soldiers slipped through the gaps in their firepower.

A significant portion of this fleeing Japanese force encountered the armored guard battalion that had maneuvered to the flank and rear.

Many Japanese troops who thought they had escaped were caught off guard when they discovered that flares were being launched into the sky and enemy tanks were suddenly pointing their cannons and guns at them from the fields, setting off a new race against time.

What drove these Japanese soldiers to despair was that they had to race against tanks, against bullets, and against artillery shells.

The ultimate result, of course, is destruction.

Some Japanese soldiers hid in nearby villages, hoping to use the buildings as cover to avoid being hit by enemy tanks as much as possible.

After all, on the vast plains, the moment the flares are launched, their figures will be exposed to the enemy's sight.

At that time, they were like moving targets for the enemy's vehicle-mounted machine guns, human targets for the enemy machine gunners to practice controlling their rifles.

The battle here lasted from night until day, and by 9 a.m. the next morning, it was difficult to find any surviving Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.

The 10th Division's dispersed breakout was somewhat successful.

In Yixian County, at the temporary headquarters of the Japanese 10th Division, Isogai Rensuke was looking at the personnel count.

Of the more than 15,000 who broke through, less than 10,000 were brought back; the remaining 5,000 or so...

Large quantities of supplies, baggage, artillery, and even trucks were also abandoned.

Atsuro Umemura's voice was heavy as he spoke.

But for Rensuke Isogai, this was already the best possible outcome.

"The fact that 10,000 people managed to fight their way out is already an unexpected bonus."

As Rensuke Isogai said this, he looked at the map again and suddenly remembered something.

"How's it going with Kei Seya?"

He suddenly realized that the losses would not only be the more than 5,000 people from last night, but also the entire brigade led by Seya Kei, which was still north of Taierzhuang.

After Li Jianghe's armored forces have finished slaughtering them, where will they attack next?

The result is self-evident: the area where Kei Seya is located will inevitably become the primary target of the attack.

"His latest telegram said that he was engaged in a bloody battle with the enemy and could not extricate himself."

The troops suffered considerable casualties, but the enemy suffered even greater casualties.

Atsuro Umemura said this.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something.

"Are you worried about the Seya Phantom Troupe as well...?"

"It's almost inevitable."

Isogai Rensuke said in a heavy voice, "Send a telegram to Seya Akihiro that our main force has withdrawn into Yixian County. Tell him to lead his troops to break out in different directions towards Hanzhuang."

The reason for choosing the direction of Hanzhuang was that Isogai Rensuke believed that the enemy's tank force was positioned between Taierzhuang and Yixian.

At this point, if Seya Kei were to break out of Yixian, what difference would that be from sending himself to his death?

Their main force broke through under cover of darkness last night, but still suffered heavy casualties. If Seya Kei's brigade breaks through towards Yixian during the day, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out.

"Hai!!!"

Bai Chengshan's loud voice was clearly audible to Li Jianghe even from inside the command vehicle.

"That was exhilarating, Captain! This battle was so satisfying!"

Bai Chengshan laughed heartily, his voice like a roaring tank engine.

Li Jianghe picked at his ear with his little finger and said:

"Can't you keep your voice down? That's so loud, it could deafen someone."

Bai Chengshan grinned, scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, and said:

"Hehehe, I'm used to it, you can't hear me if I speak too softly inside the tank."

Li Jianghe, too lazy to waste words with him, said to Bai Chengshan:

"You will now lead the tank battalion towards the Hanzhuang and Taierzhuang line."

"Aren't they going to fight the Seya Phantom Troupe anymore?"

Bai Chengshan asked with some surprise.

"Just shoot him. If that old Japanese devil tries to break through, he'll probably run in this direction."

He said it with considerable certainty.

Because the Japanese 20th Division still had a considerable number of troops deployed in the Hanzhuang area.

While other Nationalist troops also launched a counterattack in this direction, their efforts were far less intense than those of their own armored forces.

As for the guard battalion, their mission was to directly attack the Setani Brigade from the north.

If the Setani Brigade does not retreat, then we will join forces with the Northwest Army and Sichuan Army on the front to encircle and annihilate the Setani Brigade.

If Seya Kei chooses to flee, then the troops of Hakujoyama will be responsible for blocking him, and he will still not escape death.

At this moment, on Seya Kei's position, he looked at the battlefield littered with corpses, his face filled with disbelief.

"These lunatics, aren't they afraid of dying?"

Kei Seya looked at the corpses lying haphazardly on the battlefield.
