Double travel through the Republic of China, start with zero yuan to buy and fight against Japan

The commander of the 17th Division was reading a newspaper in his office. Now that the Empire wanted to negotiate with Zhao Yun, it was much safer for them to stay here, unlike before when they seemed like they were about to be attacked.

But his comfortable life did not last long, the phone on the table rang.

He didn't take it seriously, thinking something was wrong, but when he picked up the phone he heard the bad news that the Wehrmacht had begun its attack.

"What, they attacked?"

"Baga, bastard, didn't you say you were ready to negotiate?"

"Yes, I think so too, division commander. It seems that the other party wants to deal with us during the negotiations and force the commander-in-chief and the country to make concessions?"

He immediately understood that this isolated army of 40,000 people was being singled out as an easy target.

"Well, you are right. We can only contact the headquarters at present. We can't hold on for much longer."

"Also, give the order to launch an all-out blockade. We need to open our fortress immediately and get our elite troops in. They can't be killed outside."

As soon as the division commander finished speaking, the brigade commander said speechlessly.

"No, you forgot about the Anshan underground fortification incident. Although the fortress is better than that, we dare not gamble."

After hearing what he said, the division commander immediately realized that this would not work, at least it was not a panacea.

"Then, wouldn't it be a waste of money to build so many fortresses?" he said.

Yes, the brigade commander also thought so. After the Anshan underground fortification incident, all their commanders didn’t want to go to any underground fortifications anymore. It was not safe there at all.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You will be fully responsible for all the affairs near Wafangdian. I will let the Second and Third Brigades support you at any time."

"I will discuss this matter with the commander-in-chief and other colleagues."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking and sat back on the sofa weakly.

"Hey, damn National Defense Forces, you're asking me to fight you to the death."

He was talking to himself, feeling panicked at the moment, as he knew he couldn't hold out for long.

He immediately picked up the phone again and called his staff officer.

Soon, many people came into the room. They were all staff officers of the 17th Division.

When he saw that everyone had arrived, he began to recount what had just happened.

"Tell me, what should we do?" he said.

"Division Commander, we should report immediately. It will be too late if we are late."

"Also, organize people to defend immediately. Otherwise, if Wafangdian is lost, then Dalian will really be finished."

He thought it over again and again, listened to the advice of his staff, and immediately reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

He also passed the information to the 18th Division in Dalian and a detachment of marines there.

The spread of the news made the Kwantung Army very panicked, especially the 18th Division and two forces in the Dalian direction.

The Kwantung Army Headquarters was naturally very depressed. At this moment, they could only send troops from Dandong, or transport soldiers and weapons by sea to the Dalian port.

The fastest way would be Dandong, but the problem is that the defenders there cannot move. It would be even worse if they were cut off, as that is their retreat route.

There are ten divisions there at the moment, and there are ten divisions on the other side of the Yalu River. They are fighting for their retreat.

"Well, let Dandong support two divisions, and transfer two divisions from Shenyang to Dandong."

The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army still gave the order. Dalian is an important seaport city, and its loss is also very important to the navy. His contribution can be regarded as an explanation to the navy bosses.

After all, he is the acting commander-in-chief, so he should offend fewer people. In case he can return to China, he will have fewer enemies.

All senior officers were in a meeting at the Liancheng Marine Corps Headquarters. They had also received information from the 17th Division, so they were meeting here to discuss what to do.

"Gentlemen, I think we'd better leave immediately. We still have six transport ships, four cruisers and ten gunboats."

"But don't forget that the other side has a bomber fleet, and we are not enough for them to bomb."

"We are not afraid of death, we want to leave fire and intact warships for the empire. They will only be bombed here.

Less than an hour after the battle began, the enemy's bomber formation has not yet arrived, so we still have time to leave."

After listening to the words of the supreme commander here, everyone felt a little shaken, after all, he was right.

In fact, the commander didn't want to leave. After all, deserting the battlefield was a shameful thing. But the loss of a ship was a loss to the navy, and he didn't want to do that.

Everyone quickly made a decision to quickly withdraw 4,000 marines, assemble the naval ships and escape.

Half an hour before leaving, they sent a telegram to the 17th and 18th Divisions of the Kwantung Army.

"We have been ordered to leave. Please hold on. The Empire will not forget you."

The two division commanders were now confused, and even the two divisions that were preparing to support them from Dandong were confused after receiving the news.

But they really had no choice. They were from the navy, and they belonged to the army, or the independent Kwantung Army, a special entity.

However, the news of this matter was still reported back through his channels. He deserted the battlefield and abandoned the army, even if they stayed to provide support.

At the Wafangdian front, the National Defense Forces had been bombarding for an hour, and only then did all the heavy artillery stop bombarding.

It can be said that the Japanese on the Wafangdian front have lost two battalions of soldiers, which was caused by constant artillery bombardment and rocket launcher coverage attacks.

Taro Koi was not spared either. He was hit by a shell and split into four pieces on the spot.

The First Regiment was basically destroyed, and the commander was crying in a fortification.

He was very depressed today. He was suddenly faced with a life-and-death situation, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

The most annoying thing was the teammates. The brigade commander had clearly ordered the second and third regiments to support them, but they were not nearby and they had to wait half an hour for them to arrive.

Isn't this a trap? How could he not know where they are? In fact, they are just two miles away. They just don't dare to move forward because of the fierce artillery fire.

At the frontline combat command center, Commander Zhang of the Sixth Army of the National Defense Force was communicating with the two division commanders on the front line.

At the front line, the artillery attack has been going on for an hour, and the front position must have been almost destroyed.

They were about to give the order to advance forward towards the city of Wafangdian.

The T-34 tanks of two armored battalions were enough to make the Japanese flee.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after the order was given, they had advanced ten kilometers. The 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 17th Division of the Japanese had been completely wiped out, and was fighting with the 2nd and 3rd Regiments.

When they saw the Wehrmacht tanks approaching, they knew it was useless to hide, so they took up their weapons and started to fight back.

At the same time, they reported to their superiors that the First Regiment was completely destroyed and they were fighting with the enemy's armored forces.

What's the point of fighting? The Japanese were forced to flee in defeat due to the tank guns and heavy machine guns, the firepower of the AK automatic rifles of the infantry regiment behind them, and the terrifyingly accurate shooting style of the Mosin-Nagant rifles. They had no way of dealing with the damage caused by the tanks.

After all, their fortifications had been cleared out by artillery fire, and they could only passively take the beating and fire back desperately.
