Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 680: I don’t want to fight and I can’t fight, those are two different things

The anti-aircraft artillery regiment in front, plus the weapons of their respective armies and the 4th Air Force Squadron stationed in Guangxi were all blind. They watched the other side transporting supplies without intercepting them.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Ye turned to look at Zhou Weiguo; "You're the one who did it. The others aren't as cunning as you. Damn it, you just despise me for not dying. You have to know that if I had left earlier and gone to him, I would be dead now."

Zhou Weiguo understood Ono's anger. He took out a cigarette and handed it to him, saying, "What a mistake. I forgot you were already out at that time. But what I was thinking was that if the Japanese army sent more weapons and equipment, we could sell them for more money."

Xiao Ye, who was originally quite angry, calmed down after hearing what Zhou Weiguo said, "If it weren't for this money, I would never let you go."

He walked over to the map, took a look at it, and asked, "Do you have any plans now?"

Fang Shengli spread his hands. "I was planning to wait for your news, so I didn't prepare anything here."

A bunch of shit.

Ono cursed inwardly and took a deep breath. "Fight! Nakamura Masao is confident he can wait for reinforcements to arrive. So let's break his arrogance and capture a few of his positions. As long as we break his arrogance, then I can go and succeed."

Upon hearing this, Sano Tadayoshi took command from the side. "If we're going to fight, we have to strike at a place that's easy to defend but hard to attack. Only by taking this place can we make it clear to them that we can easily defeat them. Another aspect is to minimize their ammunition consumption. After all, it costs money."

Can money be linked to war?

Alice felt that her brain was not enough, if his analysis was correct.

What the Chief of Staff meant was that it was not important to tell the other side to attack him, what was important was to make them consume their ammunition to the minimum.

Zhou Weiguo came to the map and took a look. "The left side of the defense is the most difficult to attack. Let's start from there."

After the bombers flying in the sky dropped their aerial bombs recklessly, the enemy's ground forces launched an attack.

Masao Nakamura, who was standing in front of the bunker, listened carefully and found that the other side was probably the size of an artillery battalion.

The dense artillery shells blew up dust on the left side of their position, making it impossible to see what was happening over there.

In the distance, in the enemy position, the medium tanks lined up in a row were moving forward like huge monsters, and behind them, the infantrymen wearing black helmets and blue-gray uniforms followed the tanks tacitly.

The machine gun on top of the tank makes people feel chilling.

His confidence in holding out here until reinforcements arrived was instantly reduced to half.

Putting down the binoculars, Nakamura Masao took a deep breath and said to the chief of staff beside him, "Our empire's biggest mistake was launching an attack on Beisu before completely defeating the mountain city."

Tanaka smiled bitterly. "Yes, the Northern Soviet Union has always provided assistance to the mountain city. In the past, they secretly sent some weapons reinforcements, but after the Empire attacked and occupied Haishengwei, they switched from transporting weapons to directly transporting production technology. I think in a few years, they will probably surpass us."

"We're already overtaking them," Nakamura Masao pointed into the distance. "Look at their scale. After the aerial bombardment, their artillery launched another attack. See? I'm afraid to send in reinforcements. If I do, their forces on the other side will quickly overwhelm us."

"But it's one-sided. Our opponent is the independent regiment of the enemy's 74th Army. They are a unique existence, but for the mountain city as a whole, they are still lagging behind."

Tanaka said this with a bitter tone, "I've gone too far. Let's not talk about the other armies in Yamaguchi. What we are facing now is their most elite force."

The intensive artillery fire continued for nearly ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the artillery positions in the rear stopped firing, and during this time, the tanks and the opposing infantry had advanced to less than a hundred meters ahead.

Before the Japanese troops in the trenches had time to form an effective defense, the tanks once again suppressed them, and even the machine guns on them began to spew out flames.

Nakamura stood in front of the bunker and clenched his fists.

Not only did they cooperate seamlessly with each other, they also managed their timing to perfection.

When the artillery bombarded, the infantry dared to advance, and when the artillery stopped, the tanks began to suppress. At the same time, the tanks that had entered the range of their own artillery were protected by the enemy's field artillery.

Perhaps, in the sky not far away, where he could not see anything, the enemy's air force was also waiting for him.

As long as he dared to use artillery, he would be attacked fiercely by them.

"It's not without reason that many generals of our Imperial Army fell into the hands of Zhou Weiguo."

It's not that the generals are incompetent, nor that the soldiers are unwilling to fight.

But you don’t even have the chance to risk your life.

Even if you risk your life to kill one or two of their soldiers, their counterattack will take away more of your soldiers.

"General, the left position requests artillery reinforcement." The operator not far away covered the microphone and asked.

Masao Nakamura didn't say anything, but just observed the other party's situation through a telescope.

Although the enemy's artillery had stopped firing, it was still in a state of combat readiness. He guaranteed that as long as he used the few artillery pieces he had to suppress the enemy's tanks, the enemy's artillery positions would immediately launch a devastating attack on him.

Without reinforcements, the position will be lost, and if attacked, the artillery will most likely be destroyed.

What they had was an infantry gun, which could not compete with the enemy's field gun.

"Let them withdraw from the first-line defense position on the left and gather at the second-line defense position." Masao Nakamura turned his head and gave the order.

Snapped……

Seeing the troops occupy the left position, Zhou Weiguo put down the telescope and turned to Zhao Shoutian and said, "Shoutian, tell the attacking troops to withdraw to their original position."

Withdraw?

Takeshita Shun, who was also observing the situation ahead, turned his head and said, "Even though we've mobilized the air force, artillery, and tanks, you rushed forward and ran back in less than ten minutes. What are you trying to do?"

Taking a cigarette from the table and lighting it, Zhou Weiguo pointed to the front line. "I haven't thought about actually occupying that place. And you realize, that place is within their artillery range. If they launch a counterattack or use artillery, if the air force doesn't support us in time, our tanks and soldiers will be bombed to pieces without even knowing their parents."

Half of the tanks are gone. These are our heavy equipment and we cannot be careless.

"So, what on earth are you trying to do by making such a big noise?" Takeshita Shun also took out a cigarette, lit it with the help of Zhou Weiguo's lighter that he had not turned off, and then patted the dust off his body and asked.
