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

Chapter 108 The Shock of the Sichuan Army: This is just the appetizer.

Wu Yun's latest work in his later years is here, updated first across the entire network!

Because the soldiers in the rocket launcher squad were firing from the city wall, the firing range of the Panzerfaust 60, which originally could only fire at 60 meters, was increased.

Before the Japanese troops, whose advance had been slightly halted by the anti-tank guns, could react, the over-caliber warheads were already hurtling down.

"Boom!!!!!"

More than a dozen shells exploded almost simultaneously, killing and wounding many Japanese soldiers. At the same time, a tank had its armor plates blown off, and the crew inside were also killed or wounded and rendered incapable of moving.

Upon seeing this, the Sichuan soldiers on the city wall cheered loudly.

"Well done! Those damn Japanese devils, even a lump of iron won't do them good now."

"That's right, we can't deal with you, but someone else can."

"Commander Li really wasn't bragging! He said he could take down Japanese tanks, and he really can!!"

"So this lump of iron is so fragile when facing anti-tank guns. I thought it was much more sturdy."

The Sichuan soldiers were greatly encouraged, and their arms were stronger than before when they pulled the bolts of their rifles.

As the cannons roared, numerous MG42 and MG34 mortars, as well as Czech-made and Maxim heavy machine guns, along with a large number of submachine guns and rifles, began firing at the Japanese troops from the city walls.

The Japanese army was initially confident in their advance, relying on tanks, and felt that the enemy troops on the city walls would be difficult to threaten them.

But as the artillery roared, tank after tank was pierced by anti-tank shells, and their greatest asset was gone.

A dense hail of bullets fell like thousands of steel nails, tearing the Japanese soldiers apart as they struck their bodies.

Once the crisscrossing barrage of fire swept past, one could see the corpses lying on the ground.

The Japanese machine guns, grenade launchers, infantry guns, and other firepower from the rear also began to roar, suppressing the firepower on the city wall.

Seeing that the firepower on the city wall had been suppressed, the Japanese soldiers hurriedly increased their speed and rushed towards the breach.

But before they could get close, a series of explosions suddenly rang out.

It's a landmine.

Last night, engineers laid many landmines in front of the city wall.

The warhead of "Bouncing Betty" would jump directly to the Japanese soldier's chest under the action of a spring.

Originally, their height was only enough to jump up to the waist of Chinese soldiers, but the Japanese soldiers were very short, with an average height of no more than 1.6 meters.

With a deafening roar, the various steel balls and shrapnel inside the warhead were accelerated by the shockwave and shot out in all directions.

Japanese soldiers who passed by were instantly impaled by steel balls, which pierced their skin, flesh, and bones.

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air.

These Japanese soldiers had no time to dodge and were wiped out by the warheads of the bounding mines.

Most of them did not die, but were seriously injured.

Some were hit in the face, their entire faces were embedded with steel balls, and even their eyeballs were shattered. They looked bloody and terrifying, like a giant honeycomb growing on their faces.

But these Japanese soldiers were determined and did not give up their charge. More than a dozen soldiers were already climbing up the breach in the city wall.

Meanwhile, a large number of Japanese soldiers continued to fire at the city walls and even throw grenades to suppress the firepower on the city walls.

Just as the dozen or so Japanese soldiers rushed upwards, a fire dragon suddenly shot out.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"

The engineers held flamethrowers and continuously sprayed flames at the Japanese soldiers.

Before the Japanese troops could react, the flames had already completely engulfed them.

The fuel clinging to their bodies was ignited by the flames, and their clothes and hair became accomplices in the fire, devouring their lives.

In just over ten minutes, the Japanese troops attacking from the front had suffered nearly two hundred casualties.

This forced the Japanese army to retreat temporarily, because continuing the charge would likely result in the annihilation of the entire force.

Two tank companies, plus an infantry company, were completely routed before they could even scale the city walls.

These scenes left the Sichuan soldiers on the city wall dumbfounded.

Their previous battles against the Japanese army were incredibly difficult; they were almost completely suppressed.

However, when the Japanese troops attacked the city wall, they were completely overwhelmed by Li Jianghe's forces and had no chance to fight back.

Even the tanks that were once invincible and unstoppable were reduced to scrap metal under the roar of anti-tank guns, never to regain their former glory.

"Long live the Independent Detachment!!!"

The Sichuan soldiers raised their arms and cheered on the city wall.

This victory was so exhilarating that it gave them a huge boost.

In the rear command post, Zhao Weibin received a phone call from the front and was completely dumbfounded.

"What? You repelled the Japanese attack? And destroyed four tanks?"

"Killed or wounded over a hundred Japanese soldiers?"

He thought he had misheard. "Are you seeing things?"

"How could I be seeing things, Chief of Staff? I saw it very clearly."

On the other end of the phone, the cheers of victory could still be faintly heard, mainly from Sichuan soldiers.

Wang Mingzhang also came over at this moment.

"Did they repel the Japanese attack?"

Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin nodded and said:

"That's right, and they killed and wounded over a hundred people, and destroyed four Japanese tanks. This was unthinkable in the past."

After saying that, he looked at Li Jianghe, who was also in the command post.

Both Zhao Weibin and Wang Mingzhang were aware of the Sichuan Army's combat capabilities.

They didn't have that ability; even if they worked themselves to the bone, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate hundreds of Japanese soldiers.

Only Li Jianghe's independent detachment could do that.

"Brother Li, you guys are truly like gods descending from the heavens!"

Wang Mingzhang excitedly grasped Li Jianghe's hand and said.

Li Jianghe felt his palms were being squeezed so tightly they were starting to hurt. He finally managed to free himself and said:

"That was just an appetizer. Let's wait until tonight; that's when the main event begins."

Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weibin exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Is this just an appetizer?"

What happened that night? It couldn't have been a counterattack that wiped out a whole battalion of Japanese soldiers, could it?

This is the limit of their imagination.

They wiped out a whole battalion of Japanese soldiers, which is over a thousand Japanese soldiers.

The Battle of Pingxingguan was still so fierce, with only a thousand or so Japanese soldiers killed, yet it still alarmed the entire Second World War zone and even the people of the whole country.

But then the two thought again that Li Jianghe had probably killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers in Shanghai and Nanjing.

By this standard, this really can only be considered an appetizer.

The two people watching from the rear, Kei Seya and Yaezo Akashiba, both had faces that looked as if they were covered with frost.
