Just when Ji Gu and his men wanted to retreat, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

Looking up, I saw a group of bombers flying towards this side in the distance. They were arranged in an orderly manner and looked so aggressive that it made people feel shocked.

"Oh no! Chahar's air force is coming. Quickly prepare for air defense and get everyone into hiding."

Finally, the bomber formation arrived on time!

The seven commanders were relieved.

"This is the air strike group. Please answer the ground command. What is the strike range?"

The pilot asked via the radio.

"Air Force brothers, you came at the perfect time!"

The commander of the 3rd Division shouted excitedly.

"We are preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy, but the enemy may escape, so your mission is to cut off their escape route and prevent them from entering the fortress again."

"Understood! We will fully cooperate with the ground forces."

The flight squadron leader responded.

"Please note that when our forward troops reach the middle or rear of the enemy, we will notify you to evacuate."

The commander of the 3rd Division continued.

"Okay, we understand. Just wait and see."

Said the flight squadron leader.

"However, it is best not to rush into our bombing zone. We will send a special plane to observe and alert you if we find anything."

He added.

"Okay, thank you for your support."

"Haha, one family doesn't speak the same language."

"Everyone, pay attention. Target the Japanese on the ground. Do not allow them to escape or enter the fortress."

The air force formation captain gave the order.

"The B-10 formation will be responsible for bombing the tail, while the T-16 and H-6 will be responsible for bombing the Japanese near the fortress. Two B-52s will be stationed at the tail and middle to observe the battlefield situation."

He continued.

"Fighter escort formations will assist in blocking the ground. If you find an enemy trying to escape, you can fire from the air to prevent them from leaving."

He finally emphasized.

"Copy that, Captain."

Everyone's response came through the communication channel, and the air strike began.

After clearing out four tank regiments of the Japanese, a formation of 200 tanks on the ground quickly joined the operation to encircle and suppress the infantry.

They rushed towards the enemy with thunderous force, showing their powerful fighting ability.

Seven hundred tanks came like a tiger rushing down a mountain. In less than half an hour, they had smashed the 10th Division of the Kwantung Army in the front into pieces, causing it to collapse.

Under such a fierce attack, the 10th Division of the Kwantung Army could only flee in all directions and was completely unable to organize an effective resistance. This is the powerful force of tanks.

The tank guns were like mobile artillery batteries, bombarding the enemy's fortifications one after another.

The enemy's carefully dug trenches seemed useless at this time and could not withstand the tank attack at all.

Even if the enemy wanted to use explosives to blow up the tanks, they would have little chance of doing so.

Because the tanks in the rear will quickly use the machine guns on the vehicle to instantly kill the enemies who try to rush out, leaving them no chance to get close to the tanks.

Even if some enemies hid in the trenches and waited for the tank to cross the line and then detonated the explosives to die together with the tank, it would only prevent the tank from moving forward and would not have much impact on the tank's key parts.

After all, the tracks would most likely be blown off, and the soldiers inside the tank would be injured by the strong vibration.

But this was the limit of what they could do, the damage they could do to the tank.

The armored vehicle formation behind the tank formation, consisting of nearly 1400 vehicles, formed a huge armored torrent and took advantage of its strong mobility to begin to encircle and suppress the fleeing Japanese devils from all sides.

The 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Chahar Garrison Army in the rear assisted in the attack.

This created a perfect situation for an air-to-ground combat offensive.

By this time, Ji Gu had learned that the 10th Division had collapsed.

Through the telescope, he saw tanks and armored vehicles all over the ground chasing the lone soldiers of the 10th Division, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

He knew in his heart that the situation was hopeless and the remaining three divisions were simply unable to withstand this iron torrent.

What's worse, their retreat route has been blocked by fighter planes in the air.

When a battalion of the fleeing 13th Division tried to break through, it was instantly blown to ashes by fighter planes.

Other Japanese troops were also ruthlessly strafed by fighter planes.

Obviously, it was almost impossible for them to escape from this battlefield.

The 10th Division in the front had completely collapsed, beaten to pieces by tank and armored groups, and fled in all directions.

The situation was becoming increasingly tense, and he knew very well that if he could not make a decision today, everyone might die here. That would be a great honor for him to be loyal to the empire and serve His Majesty, and to be able to meet Amaterasu.

However, he did not want to die, and neither did the other officers.

Inside the command center, everyone turned their eyes to Ji Gu, as if they were waiting for something.

"Xinyi, we must stop the tanks from wreaking havoc immediately. We need to form a death squad to blow them up, otherwise we will all be destroyed."

"Okay, I've sent people to carry out the mission. My 10th Division is doomed, but I will send all the members of the 11th Division into battle. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we must blow up all the tanks!"

"Well, I will order the remaining troops of the 5th and 6th Divisions in the country to reinforce the 11th Division. They have more than 30,000 people in total. I don't believe that they can't destroy a mere few hundred tanks."

At this point, they were extremely anxious and were not even willing to sacrifice the lives of the domestic divisions in exchange for their chance to escape.

He did not allow the remaining 5,000 men of the heavy artillery division to go up because these people were all artillerymen and would be useful in the future, but they could not be compared with infantrymen.

After all, ordinary soldiers are only worth 1.5 cents to recruit, but artillerymen take a long time to train.

"Baga, you bastard, you want to expel our division, you old bastard Ji Gu, I'm not done with you."

Somewhere, the commanders of the 5th and 6th divisions in the Japanese country were cursing at each other. What the hell was going on?

When they learned the news, they were angry and helpless.

It is useless to send a message to the country at this time. The situation on the battlefield is like this. As the highest commander, Ji Gu has the right to do whatever he wants.

If they do not carry out the order, they will be subject to military law and will be brought to a military court.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. In order to keep the two divisions alive, we must give the order."

"Okay, so what do we do now?"

a voice asked anxiously.

The other man replied after a moment's thought.

"We will leave behind a thousand men from each division to protect the flag and evacuate safely. We will take care of as many as we can and then get in touch with the country."

His tone was firm and decisive. Then the man added.

"We ordered these two thousand men to stay as division commanders. They will become the spark of the two divisions. I believe the country will not embarrass them."

After saying that, he sighed deeply.

At this time, the other man's eyes became sharp and he said seriously.

"As division commanders, we must not leave the troops easily! Do you understand this?"

There was a firm determination in his voice.

The other party was silent for a while, and finally nodded to show his understanding.

Afterwards, the two quickly discussed a specific plan and decided to take immediate action.
