Chapter 10, German Mechanic

You are denying it again, and instead, you blame me for wasting it

After hearing Gao Hongming's response, Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui, and others breathed a sigh of relief. Their greatest fear was that this young master Gao would be blinded by the flames of revenge, recklessly insisting on a head-on confrontation with the enemy, displaying an attitude of being willing to sacrifice the entire team.

Sakata Nobutaka, who had no time to say much, turned around and walked briskly towards the back

The Japanese army also deployed over 50,000 troops, including the 3rd Division, as well as dozens of bombers and more than ten warships, engaging in a desperate battle at Luodian.

Where does the sound of the charge come from

Just as Sakaida Nobutaka was filled with confidence and eager to see what tricks the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was playing, another stirring sound of a military bugle reached his ears

Drip... drip... drip drip... drip drip drip...

Having come to China for several years, Nobutaka Sakatani has fought against the Eighth Route Army, as well as the Central Army, local troops, and numerous irregular forces, and is well acquainted with their characteristics

On the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge, the new regiment commander Li Yunlong called over the mortar operator Wang Chengzhu, pointed at the target and asked: "Zhuzi, do you see that tent over there? How about mhetushu.com? Can your cannon reach it?"

This does not imply that Sakata Nobutaka is cowardly, but rather that he can clearly see through the telescope that the army charging towards him is wearing German-style uniforms, and everyone is wearing the uniquely designed M35 steel helmet.

Hurry up... go take a look!

Not correct

Wang Chengzhu stared at the Japanese command post and thought for a moment: "Commander, advance five hundred meters... Proceed as planned!"

Wang Chengzhu carefully extended his right thumb and squinted his left eye to take a look, "Team Leader, the distance is too far, it has already exceeded the range."

How is this possible? How could the Chinese government army and the Eighth Route Army possibly cooperate?

Sakata Nobutaka was momentarily taken aback

It now appears that Young Master Gao has not completely lost his mind after all

Li Yunlong nodded slightly: "Alright... I will take you to a position 500 meters away, are you confident?"

But then he hesitated and said: "However... Captain, we only have 2 shells left"

Wang Chengzhu was also anxious, "Captain, you must speak with a clear conscience. Just now, during the enemy's attack, you were the fiercest among us. Zhuzi, take that heavy machine gun and take it out for me, Zhuzi... are you blind? Blow up that grenade launcher for me..."

That battle can be described as a meat grinder, with the Huaxia army deploying over 100,000 of its most elite troops, including the 18th Army, as well as the so-called "World's Number One Army" the 1st Army, the 74th Army, and the 39th Army.

Upon seeing this, Sakata Nobutaka's expression immediately changed dramatically

Shinichi Miura suddenly bowed deeply: "Ha Yi!"

He could not help but exclaim: "The Chinese machine gunner... it is actually the Chinese machine gunner!"

Mitsuura Shinichi shook his head in confusion: "I don't understand, and I cannot judge the opponent's intentions; this seems to be out of the ordinary"

This left Sakata Nobutaka bewildered, "What exactly does our opponent intend to do? With such a meager force, how dare he launch a counterattack? What is his purpose?"

He quickly raised the telescope to look at the target, and soon a troop appeared in his telescope, charging in his direction.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly scolded, "You brat, dare to complain? Be careful or I will beat you up"

Soon, he arrived at the rear of the command post and discovered that there were quite a few figures appearing at the back of hetushu.com .com

Li Yunlong said: "The tent must be the command post of the little devils. Those little devils are quite cunning, setting up their command post beyond our range. What do you think, let's come up with a way to hit them with a shell!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately perked up upon hearing this, straightened his chest, and said, "Yes... I guarantee to complete the task"

"That is incorrect. This charge signal came from behind us, and it is not the charge signal of the Eighth Route Army, but rather that of the Chinese Nationalist Army!"

Accompanied by the orders of Sakata Nobutaka, commanders of various levels of the Japanese army stationed at the front line drew their command swords and pointed them forward

Sakata Nobutaka shook his head and said: "No... it's not that he has gone mad, this is just a conspiracy. I just cannot yet determine what kind of conspiracy it is, very interesting!"

Li Yunlong was enraged upon hearing this, his eyes immediately widening in fury. "What did you say? Damn it, you wasteful brat, why don't you learn to be more frugal?"

I must warn you in advance that if you fail to hit the target, do not say that the sweet potato roast is spared; I will have to execute you. Do you understand?

Sakata Nobutaka's face involuntarily began to contort

Upon hearing it, he could immediately discern that the sound of the charge coming from behind was definitely not that of the Eighth Route Army

Upon seeing this, his complexion inevitably turned ashen.

People cherish their lives; who would want to die if they could avoid it

Although this great battle lasted only for more than ten days, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Luodian was captured and recaptured more than ten times, and Luodian Town earned the nickname "meat grinder" due to this battle. The German machine gun division also gained international fame in that conflict

However, Li Yunlong is also a person with a dog-like face. Upon seeing Wang Chengzhu's aggrieved expression, he immediately grinned and said: "Once the battle is over, I will reward you with half a jin of sweet potatoes, but you must carefully think about how to use two shells to take out the enemy's command post."

The reason why Sakata Nobutaka reacted this way cannot be attributed to his cowardice; rather, the sight of that iconic helmet immediately reminded him of his time three years ago during the Battle of Songhu, when he was still serving in the 3rd Division and had engaged in combat with the Huaxia Mechanized Division in Luodian.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army on Cangyun Ridge were engaged in fierce combat, and no one expected that a small unit of just over 300 men had already crept right under their noses, quietly observing the situation of the battle

Wang Chengzhu affirmed, "Yes!"

Accompanied by the resounding charge of hetushu.com, countless soldiers dressed in gray uniforms leaped out of the trenches and charged towards the Japanese positions

Baga ya lu

Tick tock tick tock

However, the German mechanized divisions suffered heavy casualties in that battle and did not receive reinforcements, thus rarely appearing on the battlefield thereafter

One battalion is insufficient; order the 5th Infantry Battalion to cooperate with the 3rd Battalion to carry out the attack

Having said that, Sakata Nobutaka revealed a hint of disdainful smile on his face; in the face of absolute strength, any schemes or tricks are futile

Meanwhile, in the command post of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade, Colonel Shinichi Miura, the chief of staff, was reporting to Lieutenant General Nobutaka Sakata: "Your Excellency, the 3rd Infantry Battalion has entered the attack position, please give the order to commence the attack."

Wang Chengzhu no longer dared to speak, lowering his head in silence, feeling aggrieved

At the sight of that iconic helmet, the horrific memories that had long been buried in my mind resurfaced once again

Just as the Japanese army was preparing to attack, a sudden sound of a charge horn erupted from the Eighth Route Army's position across the way

The short yet robust Sakata Nobutaka turned his head, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, "Not enough... The commander of the Eighth Route Army opposite is a formidable opponent, not to be underestimated
