Rebirth of the National Marshal

In the Kwantung Army, the organization is basically based on divisions, and this type of mixed brigade can be said to be the least. In other words, this mixed brigade is a role that is neither loved by everyone. Their military equipment is not the best, and their soldiers are not the most elite.

It was because of one thing: the brigade commander was an inferior person. Although Japan did not have human ranks, most of the division commanders had some relationship with the nobles. Only this brigade commander was an ordinary person. From an ordinary person to a brigade commander, it was considered pretty good in the Japanese army.

Although the equipment of this mixed brigade is average, it has a large number of people. It has two infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry regiment, which is almost the equipment configuration of a Class C division at the end of World War II.

The Japanese were also very aware of how important the specific location of Shuangqing County was, so within a radius of 2 kilometers, there were two infantry regiments ready to provide support here at any time, with a total of more than 2 troops. In their view, more than troops were definitely more than enough to defend a county town.

If the Chinese army wants to attack here and take it down, it will have to mobilize at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Of course, this number is based on the configuration of ordinary troops. If it is a security group, I don’t know how much it would be.

"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, our two front lines of defense were destroyed in half an hour. The flag of a company has been burned. We must immediately request support from the headquarters, otherwise we will lose the county. The enemy uses only tanks and has few infantry. Our marksmanship is useless even if it is accurate. Our army lacks anti-tank weapons, so we are all eaten like vegetables."

At the headquarters of the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the chief of staff held the report from the front and said that he was already stunned by everything on the front line. How could they retreat so quickly? That was an infantry regiment of several thousand people, and they couldn't even hold out for an hour. What on earth was going on?

"What? That bastard Matsushita Masao, are the thousands of soldiers under his command a bunch of pigs? Even if they were a bunch of pigs, it is impossible that they would be killed in such a short time standing there by the Chinese. Ask him what the hell he does for a living and let him commit suicide by disembowelment immediately." The brigade commander Junichiro Omoto couldn't believe his ears. An infantry regiment of thousands of people was killed in the time it took to eat a meal. What kind of army did they encounter? It was simply unbelievable.

The staff officers of the headquarters were dumbfounded when they heard the news. They didn't know what to do. What kind of army were they facing? Just as they were hesitating, a messenger from the front line rushed in. He was already covered in blood. Everyone stopped their work and looked at the messenger. From the feeling, it must be bad news. Whenever the imperial army encountered the Chahar army, there seemed to be no good news. From the North China Campaign to the present, this iron rule always exists.

"Report... Report... The 2nd Infantry Regiment under our brigade has been completely wiped out..." This guy fell down after he finished speaking. He had used up all his strength. He was the last messenger left in the 2nd Infantry Regiment. From the regiment commander down, no one could still fight.

"Sir, brigade commander, please move forward immediately. The enemy tanks are less than 500 meters away from the headquarters. Our suicide squad is pushing forward. If we don't retreat, we may be wiped out. The artillery units are all destroyed. When the artillery fired the first round of shells, it was destroyed by the Chinese artillery." The guard platoon leader rushed over with the few remaining guards and said. Five hundred meters is far away. In fact, everyone could hear the roar of the tanks at this time.

The brigade commander had no idea how he got on the horse, and was led backwards without knowing what was happening. He couldn't believe that the invincible Japanese army had become like this, being chased like a lost dog.

What kind of army is this? Are tank troops so powerful? We in Japan do have tank troops. I have seen tank troops attacking, but they are not as powerful as this one.

Not only were the Japanese equipment relatively backward, but their tactics were also relatively backward. At the end of World War II, they did not have this awareness and even believed that armored forces were auxiliary to the infantry. This is why the Soviets were able to eliminate hundreds of thousands of their most elite Kwantung Army troops in just a few days. They were directly wiped out by the Soviets, and there was no atomic bomb or anything like that. Many Japanese found it difficult to understand.

Less than half an hour after the brigade commander retreated, Sun Liren's first tank had already rushed into the yard and killed the original command post with one shot. Only a few hundred people from the entire mixed brigade who escaped died. Except for the cavalry unit who ran fast, all the others were wiped out. However, no matter how fast the cavalry ran, they could not catch up with the wheels. The armored regiment's protection troops had already caught up with them in jeeps.

After advancing at full speed for more than 100 kilometers, the tanks need to rest here for half an hour. With only half an hour of rest time, General Sun Liren will not let his troops stop. After half an hour, they will rush to the nearby infantry regiment and devour them in one bite. More than 2 Japanese devils must be killed today, and not a single one can escape.

"We don't have the time to clean up the battlefield. Let's check the surroundings. As long as there are no threatening bunkers here, the rest will be left to the infantry behind. Our armored troops' responsibility is to attack, attack." When General Sun Liren saw some tank soldiers jumping down to check the bodies of the infantrymen, he immediately kicked them back.

As an armored unit, we are noble. We will not do such work. If we do, we will be laughed at by the infantry behind us. I really don’t know what you guys think when you sit in the tanks every day to do such a thing. Half an hour passed in a flash. More than 100 tanks had been replenished and immediately rushed towards their latest target. What they had to do was to attack.
