    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    The battle outside Guide City is still going on. The Japanese artillery was completely stunned by the sudden attack. The Third Independent Brigade is not a force within the pass. It is a mixed brigade transferred from the Kwantung Army from the base camp before the Xuzhou Battle.  regiment, so this unit does not understand the Chinese army at home.

    If they say they don¡¯t understand, they really don¡¯t understand. They don¡¯t even know the overall level of the Chinese army. In their opinion, the Chinese army is the same as the Northeastern Army a few years ago. They have no fighting spirit, no determination, and basic equipment.  It is similar to the Northeastern Army a few years ago.

    As for Li Guoyao and the 61st Army, they didn't pay attention at all, and they had never even heard of this person and this unit.

    In addition, Li Guoyao did not use artillery to counterattack at the beginning, so the little devils did not know that they had so many artillery in the city, and they were all large-caliber artillery.

    "Baga, where did the cannon come from? Didn't it say they were only equipped with small-caliber cannons?"

    In the headquarters, Major General Suzuki roared angrily, and his voice spread far and wide.

    It was clear to them just now that the defenders in the city fired dozens or hundreds of artillery shells at once, forcibly razing their artillery position outside the city to the ground. The artillery brigade under their command basically suffered casualties and injuries.  Crippled.

    You must know that it is a strengthened artillery brigade. There are 10 mountain guns and six field guns alone. They are the most powerful attacking force of their brigade and can be regarded as a trump card in the hands of Major General Suzuki.

    As a result, he was killed as soon as the war started. How could he not be angry about this?

    Facing Major General Suzuki¡¯s roar, all the Japanese officers and soldiers in the entire brigade headquarters remained silent. They really knew this brigade commander very well, and he had a terrible temper. Once he pissed him off, he might be chopped alive.

    I remember that a week ago, a supplementary soldier from Hokkaido was beaten to death because he collided with this man. His death was extremely miserable.

    Therefore, in the face of the angry Suzuki, no one dared to speak, and no one dared to refute. After all, everyone still knew the fate of life and death.

    "Haraguchi, it's your answer. If the answer doesn't satisfy me, you can report to the suicide squad later!" Major General Suzuki said coldly, staring at Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi, who was in charge of intelligence work at the brigade and regiment department.

    "Hai!"

    Then Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have almost investigated the situation of the army/army on the opposite side. The army/army stationed in Guide is the Eighth Army of the Central Army of the Chiang Kai-shek Government. The commander is named  Huang Jie, in terms of weapons and equipment, this army is definitely one of the best-equipped armies of this government, and it is reasonable to be equipped with large-caliber artillery."

    Seeing the dissatisfaction on the face of Major General Suzuki, Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi hurriedly said again: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Army must pay attention to this Eighth Army, because the predecessor of this force is the tax police headquarters under the Ministry of Finance!"

    "Tax police headquarters?"

    "Well, the Tax Police Corps was a private armed force established by Song Ziwen, the finance minister of the Chiang Kai-shek government in the 7th year of Showa. It was an irregular force used for anti-smuggling and tax collection. However, under Song's vigorous management, it became a company.  An elite force that even the Class A regular armies of the Kuomintang cannot match!" Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi explained.

    "Nani is incomparable to the elites of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army. How is this possible?" Major General Suzuki asked with a surprised look on his face.

    "Yes, Your Excellency, this force is far more terrifying than the Central Army in terms of weapons, equipment and training. According to the information collected by the intelligence department, this police corps uses the annual amortization of the eight-nation bank loan.  For those who use the remaining money from the salt tax as supplies, all establishment, equipment, and personnel will be done according to Song's wishes, and others have no right to interfere."

    Then Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi continued: "Because the Tax Police Corps has a separate funding channel, and its funding is very generous, the sophistication of its clothing, food, wages, and weapons and equipment all exceed the standards of the Kuomintang's regular troops. Not only is it equipped with Ouligan air defense  The machine guns, Vickers amphibious tanks, and rifles were mainly German-made 1924 standard Mauser series guns or Belgian fn1924/30 rifles. Even the officers were top students specially recruited by Song from the United States Military Academy at West Point.  "

    "What is the combat effectiveness of the tax police headquarters?" Major General Suzuki asked again.

    Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi said immediately: "It's very strong. According to the battle report sent by the base camp before, after the S/N incident broke out, the Tax Police Corps participated in the famous Shanghai offensive and defensive battle. At that time, this unit was attached to Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Group Army and participated in  Battles such as the defense of Zhaizao Bang and the south of Suzhou River."

    "During the battle, the soldiers of the Tax Police CorpsThe battle was very heroic, and the fighting will was also very tenacious, causing heavy damage to the Imperial Japanese Army. In particular, Sun Liren's 4th Tax Police Regiment stood out in the battles of Zhaizaobang and Dachang. Sun was promoted to the rank of  Major General.  "

    "Youxi, so we underestimated the enemy forces in the city!"

    Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi did not dare to say this. It was obviously inappropriate to say that there was no such thing. After all, the situation of the artillery brigade was there, not to mention that they had already lost a cavalry brigade last night. Putting aside everything else, the destruction of these two troops alone was  The imperial army lost thousands of people.

    But if you just underestimated this/that army, then wouldn¡¯t that mean directly accusing the brigade commander of being incompetent? Even though he said it himself, Lieutenant Colonel Haraguchi didn¡¯t dare to echo it, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to say this at any time.  Your Excellency will give him little shoes to wear.

    Just like just now, if the answer is not good, he will go to the front line and become a death squad. It is basically impossible for him to survive in his current situation.

    After a long silence, Major General Suzuki said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to contact the artillery brigade, ask about the casualties, and see how many cannons are still operational!"

    "Hai!"

    Soon the combat staff came over to report: "Report: The situation of the artillery brigade has been clarified. The shelling just now destroyed 9 artillery pieces, killing and wounding 265 imperial warriors. There are still 7 cannons available, but  but"

    "But what's the matter? Please tell me clearly quickly!" Major General Suzuki asked in a deep voice.

    "However, the artillery battalion captain, Major Yamada, was shattered by the shelling just now, and nearly half of the ammunition was detonated. Now the artillery battalion has a serious shortage of ammunition!"

    "idiot!"

    "Hai!"

    With almost no pause, Major General Suzuki continued: "Immediately call the artillery position and order the highest-ranking officer in the artillery brigade to take over the position of commander and continue to direct the battle. As for the issue of ammunition, they don't need to worry about it. Half of the ammunition is enough for the imperial army."  Take this small town!"

    "Hai!"

    After issuing the order, Major General Suzuki immediately shifted his attention to the forward position again, and then said loudly: "Order the First Battalion to rush up at all costs and occupy that person's position! Tell that kid Takeda that I am behind.  Look at them!"

    "Hai!"

    What Major General Suzuki didn't know was that he was determined to win this place, and Li Guoyao also received a death order. Therefore, when he went crazy, Li Guoyao could only accompany him to the end. Soon, the battle turned the Guide front line into a battlefield.  A crazy meat grinder was set up until the main elites of both sides were completely consumed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
