Liao Mingyu looked at Yu Xiaoqing walking away and smiled without saying a word. There's nothing to say, let's wait and see the real story on the battlefield.
"Haha, regiment leader, Master Yu is quite majestic. Killing a regiment leader is like killing a chicken."
Long Wenwen came over and said jokingly.
"I originally thought he was Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, but I didn't expect that he actually killed Ma Su with tears. He was really capable of killing him."
"It's impossible not to kill him at this point. Thousands of people are watching. If he, Yu Xiaoqing, doesn't establish his power, then the entire Yu division will really be ruined."
Liao Mingyu shook his head. He now felt some sympathy for Yu Xiaoqing. Who would be willing to kill his brother with his own hands. But at this time, even the person you kiss has to be chopped off with a knife.
"How are the troop casualties?" Liao Mingyu asked.
"59 people were slightly injured, 18 were killed, and 5 were seriously injured. I have to say that the little devil's marksmanship is really good."
Long Wenwen sighed from the side. Even though they were beaten so badly by the Sichuan Army, they still caused some damage to the group in the hail of bullets. Although these injuries are insignificant to the overall result.
"Don't underestimate your opponents. We have the mental arithmetic and the advantage of weapons and equipment. But if Krupp hadn't suppressed the artillery on the opposite side in the end, they might have suffered even greater casualties."
Long Wenwen stopped laughing and nodded seriously. The regimental leader pointed out the key to the problem. In addition to their own advantages, today's battle was more about the enemy's mistakes and luck.
The little Japanese broke through the river and rushed into the position eagerly. There was no tactical formation at all, because they believed that after half an hour of shelling, there were no Chinese soldiers on the position.
The artillerymen behind were first attracted by Li Liansheng's mortars and aimed their artillery at Li Liansheng's side. So when Kaname and the others counterattacked from their position, the attacking Japanese army had no artillery cover at all.
When their artillery wanted to support them, it was already too late. The Krupp and Yu Xiaoqing artillery battalions had already targeted them.
Patting Long Wenwen, who was standing thoughtfully beside him, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but chuckled:
"Okay, Deputy Commander Long, stop thinking blindly, our army is pretty good. Go back and tell Krupp that I will add chicken legs to him tonight."
"Sichuan Army, it's time to finish the work!"
Liao Mingyu waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion were not sloppy at all, arranged their weapons and equipment, and silently followed their regiment leader towards the direction of Zenda's station.
…
at the same time.
On the west bank of the Nujiang River...on the Nantianmen.
A figure wearing a Japanese military uniform is standing at the highest point of the mountain...
This man wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his short and thin figure gave people a feeling of frailty. There was not much flesh on his thin face, but it was filled with a layer of gloom. His slightly squinted eyes showed no emotion.
"Mianbai... we finally met a decent opponent."
He slowly put down the telescope in his hand and said this casually.
A group of Japanese officers were standing behind him silently with their heads lowered. They didn't dare to express their anger because they couldn't guess the mood and anger of the captain at the moment.
In today's battle, the empire lost three infantry squadrons. This was the result of the artillery fire cover of the entire regiment. I really don't know how this battle was fought.
"Captain Takeuchi, the Chinese army defending the opposite side seems to be more than the one shown in the intelligence. We were caught off guard..." One of the lieutenants said bravely.
"I know Yoshino-kun, how is Fukuda?"
Takeuchi waved his hand and did not take his words, he just asked casually.
"Uh... Lieutenant Colonel Fukuda was injured in the shelling, and arrangements have been made for treatment." Yoshino replied cautiously.
Takeuchi turned around and glanced at the group of officers with their heads lowered like beaten cocks with sharp eyes. Everyone did not dare to say anything and waited silently for the captain's wrath.
"Haha, are you mourning for me?"
The expected rants and roars did not come. Takeuchi just chuckled, but his words were as cold as the winter moon.
"The warriors of the empire shouldn't be like this. Keep your head up, your opponents will not show mercy because of your shame!"
"Remember, starting from today, we will use Nantianmen as the basis to launch defense on the spot, mainly on the mountain, and use civil engineering to build bunkers and bunker groups. No more attacks on the east bank will be launched without my order."
"Hi! Your Excellency, Wing Commander." A group of officers quickly replied.
Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino was a little worried. He wanted to say something but was afraid of being blamed by the co-captain. The look of hesitating to speak caught Takeuchi's attention.
"Yoshino-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Hey, Captain Takeuchi. What I want to say is, should we stop attacking the Chinese? The division commander is already very dissatisfied with our progress." Yoshino quickly stood up and lowered his head.
Takeuchi slowly shook his head. He turned around and looked across the river, melancholy looking at the busy Chinese soldiers opposite.
"Our troops are exhausted. In the entire Southeast Asian battlefield, the imperial army can only maintain the status quo."
"The British, the Americans, and even the Chinese. They have not been wiped out yet. The empire has just taken a foot off the Chinese battlefield, but it has stepped into another war quagmire..."
"However, we are still invincible on the battlefield, whether it is in China or in the jungles of Southeast Asia."
The young Yoshino argued unwillingly. He was a typical rebel. He believed that the army should continue to attack as before. Although he maintains due respect for Renshan Takeuchi, this does not stop his fanatical worship of the empire.
"Stupid! Then do you know about the defeat in the Pacific battlefield? The empire has opened up so many fronts, and the domestic resources can hardly support the consumption of this war. And we are just making the last stand."
"But……"
"No but, I understand what you mean. As soldiers, we cannot influence politics. All we can do is try our best!"
Takeuchi glanced coldly at the fanatic who had been successfully brainwashed by the base camp. There are so many unclear-minded people in the empire, and they are slowly dragging the empire into the abyss.
"Don't forget, this is their land. Even if we don't attack, they will come."
"So, I will turn this Nantianmen into a strong fortress, a hell! A mouth of a giant beast that swallows the lives of Chinese people!"
"No matter what the direction of the war is, I will do my best for the empire!"
Yoshino looked at the strong imperial officer in front of him in shock. It turned out that there was such a huge determination hidden in his thin body.
"Hey! I understand, Your Excellency, Captain."
Yoshino bowed and saluted. At this moment, he had no doubts about Takeuchi.
Takeuchi nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the miraculous Nantian Gate, a natural military fortress, and felt full of confidence in his heart.
Because he is confident that with his knowledge from the civil engineering department, he can completely turn this fortress into a lingering nightmare for the Chinese people!
