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

Chapter 114 The real show begins, tanks charge!

Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.

"Good. How are the preparations for the First Motorized Infantry Battalion, the Second Motorized Infantry Battalion, and the Tank Battalion?"

Li Jianghe asked.

"We are fully prepared for battle; we only need your command."

Long Wenzhang answered firmly and forcefully.

Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weibin, standing to the side, were completely bewildered.

How come there's a First Motorized Infantry Battalion, a Second Motorized Infantry Battalion, and even a Tank Battalion?

What kind of organizational structure is this?

Could it be that Li Jianghe is hiding a trump card?

Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weibin exchanged a glance, both seeing the same answer in each other's eyes.

That's right, Li Jianghe definitely had a backup plan, which is why he was so confident when he said he would launch a night raid on the Japanese positions and put on a good show.

It turns out he had other troops, but they were not in the sight of the Japanese army and were hidden.

"Jiang He, what do we need to do?"

Wang Mingzhang walked over and asked.

Li Jianghe laughed heartily and said:

"Commander Wang, your Sichuan Army brothers have been fighting the Japanese here for half a month, and they must be exhausted by now."

Tonight, you can stand on the city wall and watch a good show, how about that?

Wang Mingzhang refused:

"That won't do. How can we let you fight alone?"

Besides, as long as it's about fighting the Japanese, our brothers in the Sichuan Army don't know what fatigue is.

Li Jianghe pondered:

"How about we wait until our troops have charged forward, then follow up and mop up the remaining Japanese troops?"

Wang Mingzhang knew that of the more than a thousand people he had under his command, this was the only job he could do.

Following the armored tracked vehicle, he was frankly not confident, after all, he had never conducted combined arms operations with an infantry, and he might even be run over by his own vehicles.

"Alright, tonight our Sichuan Army will take it easy."

Wang Mingzhang was quite pleased.

It was at this time that the 788th Regiment dispatched by Tang Enbo, led by Regiment Commander Huang Zhenbiao, was leisurely heading towards Tengxian to provide support.

Before they set off, they received orders from Tang Enbo, saying that there might be Japanese ambush troops on the way to support Teng County, and that they must proceed with extreme caution.

As one of Commander Tang's old subordinates, how could Huang Zhenbiao not understand the meaning behind those words?

That means preserving our strength and avoiding providing support if possible.

If Tengxian is still standing and the Japanese army has not yet captured it by dawn, then it is not too late to enter the city.

If attacked by the Japanese army en route, it is necessary to retreat immediately.

He knows this stuff inside and out.

Looking ahead at Teng County, under the moonlight, the outline of the dilapidated city wall carried a sense of desolation.

He was quite nervous, but also somewhat expectant.

If the enemy does launch a night attack, this would be a good opportunity to engage them in open field combat and effectively eliminate their manpower.

Kei Seya and Suzuki Kitano were also filled with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

They were prepared and weren't afraid of Li Jianghe's men coming; they were afraid that their own men wouldn't come.

Just as these Japanese soldiers were eagerly anticipating welcoming the "kingly army," a whooshing sound suddenly came from that moment.

That was the whistling of artillery shells, getting closer and closer, and becoming more and more piercing.

"Fire! Take cover!!"

Akashiba Yaezo almost instinctively shouted it out.

The moment he finished speaking, shells rained down around the position.

However, this first round was just a test firing to calibrate the impact point.

But Akashiba Yaezo vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

That doesn't make sense. Where would the enemy get their artillery?

I've been playing all day and haven't seen it yet.

Did Li Jianghe conjure these weapons out of thin air?

The bombardment of artillery shells is a signal for attack.

The main force of the Third Detachment, hidden in the mountains to the east, consisting of two motorized infantry battalions and a tank battalion, had already entered combat readiness.

The moment the cannons roared, they started up their armored tracked vehicles, light armored reconnaissance vehicles, a number of motorcycles, and their prized Panzer I tanks.

The tank battalion of Baicheng Mountain was in the center, the motorized infantry battalion led by Yang Ruifu was on the north side, and the second motorized infantry battalion led by Lin Yongzhi was on the south side. The third motorized infantry battalion was led by Wang Dayong and existed as the general reserve force.

"attack!!!"

Bai Chengshan had a very loud voice, but it was completely drowned out by the roar of many engines.

However, the soldiers didn't need many orders, because the roar of the cannons was the signal to start the attack.

Meanwhile, on the position of the 10th Infantry Regiment, more than 60 artillery pieces had begun to bombard the Japanese positions intensively.

"Boom!!!!!"

The continuous explosions, including the roar of heavy artillery shells, made Yaezo Akashiba hide in the trench. He felt the ground beneath his feet shaking and the surrounding air burning.

Not to mention the overwhelming smoke and the scorched earth and gravel that were constantly being blown away by the blast waves and crashing onto their helmets.

He was completely dumbfounded. Was this the kind of firepower the Chinese army could possess?

Not only him, but the Japanese soldiers were even more so, thinking they were having a nightmare and hadn't woken up yet.

It wasn't until they slapped themselves across the face that the burning pain reminded them that it was all real.

The enemy forces on the opposite side are bombarding the area with artillery fire.

Behind them, in the command post of the Japanese army's Setani Detachment, both Setani Kei and Kitano Suzuki were dumbfounded.

Looking at the 10th Regiment's position shrouded in artillery fire, Kitano Suzuki opened his mouth, his long face drooping even longer.

"This doesn't make sense. Why would the enemy possess such ferocious firepower?"

"Yes, could they have just arrived? That's impossible. The 63rd Regiment is right on the enemy's reinforcements' route. If the enemy had reinforcements, we would have known."

Kei Seya was also very puzzled.

As the two were talking, a series of booming sounds came from behind.

Kei Seya vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Although the artillery fire covered the 10th Regiment's positions, it was still some distance from the command post.

Why does that rumbling sound feel so close?

No, even the ground beneath our feet started to shake.

"Chief of Staff, can you feel the air around you is tense?"

"I asked, Seya Kei."

Kitano Suzuki turned his head and also noticed the "boom boom boom" sound that was being transmitted through the air.

It was very low and deep, like distant thunder rumbling across the sky.

But the roar seemed to grow louder and louder, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble more and more frequently.

"This...this sound seems to be coming from behind."

As he said this, Kitano Suzuki subconsciously turned his head away.

Almost simultaneously, flares suddenly shot into the sky from behind, tearing the night apart.

Behind the Japanese positions, dozens of tanks and hundreds of armored tracked vehicles from a tank battalion, carrying thousands of soldiers, roared and charged forward towards the Japanese positions.

The roar of Baicheng Mountain echoed through the radio.

"Fire!!!!"
