The Zerg Emperor of the End of the World - Chapter 492
c492 Japanese army’s tenacity
Lin Yan was just an insignificant thing to Wang Jin. As Lin Yan said, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In front of Wang Jin now, the loser Lin Yan is just an ant that can be crushed to death at will.
After Wang Jin came out of the mass grave, the battle of Yantai City had already started. This time, Wang Jin did not send out the insect swarm to fight against Yantai City, but used the army alone.
However, even if the insect swarm was not sent out, the 100,000 modern troops, equipped with assault reconnaissance ships, anti-gravity aircraft, and giant chariots seized from the Xinludong base, were not something that the 30,000 Japanese troops in Yantai City could stop.
As soon as the war started, the city walls of Yantai City were bombarded with intensive artillery fire. Heavy artillery shells flew out from dozens of kilometers away, and accurately hit the tall city walls of Yantai City at precise coordinates, blowing up many defense facilities and patrolling Japanese limbs and arms, catching the Japanese off guard.
“Baga, someone is attacking, go and inform the leader to gather the troops.”
The Japanese officers’ Japanese language floated on the city wall. As the piercing alarm sounded throughout Yantai City, teams of Japanese Self-Defense Forces poured out of the barracks, holding guns and driving chariots to the battlefield on the city wall.
At the military airport behind the city, hundreds of anti-gravity aircraft were pushed out of the hangar, and the air force rushed into the cockpit. After the ground crew nervously filled up the aviation gasoline and ammunition, they drove onto the airport runway, accelerated after a distance, and pulled up the nose and rose into the blue sky.
The anti-gravity aircraft flying into the blue sky did not rush to leave, but after joining the thirty assault reconnaissance ships behind, it went at full speed towards the artillery position that was firing.
The Japanese goal was very clear, that is, they wanted the air force to annihilate the artillery positions dozens of kilometers away, otherwise the artillery would continue to bomb, and the losses of the Japanese army would be too great.
The Japanese responded very quickly to the war. Whether it was the gathering of fully armed soldiers in the barracks, the movement of armored vehicles, or the take-off of fighter planes, they were almost perfect. In just a few minutes after the war started, they were able to arrange defense and counterattack actions, which shows how elite these Japanese are.
The Japanese air force that flew out of the city did not arrive, and was intercepted by the air force of Lishan Base halfway. The number of fighter planes, almost three times the number of the Japanese air force, appeared in the air. With the advantage of numbers, the Japanese air force was immediately beaten to the point of being unable to raise its head, and could only retreat to the range of the anti-aircraft guns in Yantai City to seek shelter.
This batch of Lishan Base air forces that attacked were basically captured from Xinludong Base. Speaking of which, this matter is related to the Japanese. The air force aircraft of Xinludong Base were basically built with technical support from the Japanese. Now they have fallen into Wang Jin’s hands and turned to attack them. If the Japanese knew, I don’t know if they would cry to death in the toilet.
The troops of Lishan Base have all arrived. This army is actually the garrison in WH City. After Lishan Base supports some fighter planes and artillery armored vehicles, it forms the main force to attack Yantai City and attacks under the command of He Youxi.
“Hit these little devils hard, the city lord is watching behind. If anyone drags me down, I will kill him with a knife!”
He Youxi appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, surrounded by officers waiting for his orders.
“Jiang Zuosen, your first division as the vanguard siege force must open a passage for me.”
“Yes!”
With the arrival of a large number of Lishan Base troops, the city wall that had been blasted with many holes by artillery and assault reconnaissance ships became increasingly unstable. More than 5,000 Lishan Base soldiers launched the first wave of offensives, crouching behind the armored vehicles and tanks. As the armored vehicles advanced, they slowly set up machine guns and sniper positions along the way, forming multiple firepower points outside the city to suppress the Japanese on the city wall.
The soldiers carried mortars on their shoulders, set up and fired at them after getting close to them. Together with the shells from tanks and armored vehicles, they continuously fired shells at the city walls.
Under the fire suppression of the Lishan base, many Japanese on the city walls were killed and wounded, but they still fought back fearlessly. Many Japanese popped their heads out from the parapet of the city tower and shot at the Lishan soldiers advancing below with rifles!
Under the attack of the Lishan base, the few remaining heavy machine gun bunkers spewed flames and madly strafed the Lishan soldiers who were running in an S-shaped line under the city wall. Behind the city wall, more than a dozen light artillery fired shells one after another, blowing up mud and smoke all over the sky, blowing many Lishan soldiers into pieces. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they would blow up and paralyze the armored vehicles.
The war between the two sides entered a fierce stage. Bullets flew everywhere on the battlefield, and shells kept falling on the city. Along with the smoke, there were a large number of soldiers’ corpses. Human life was worthless here. A bullet costing a few yuan could take your life.
The Lishan army, which had stronger firepower, had the upper hand. The role of the city wall was no longer important in today’s modern war, but the tenacity of the Japanese was also surprising.
Many of the city walls that had been blown down, and the wounded Japanese shot cold guns from all corners, killing many Lishan soldiers who approached the breach in the city wall. Even if they were beaten out of the hornet’s nest afterwards, they were still so fearless.
Relying on the crushing of a large amount of firepower, the Lishan base was repeatedly forced back by the mad dog-like Japanese. Even when the tanks and armored vehicles wanted to pass through the breach in the city wall, there would be Japanese rushing over with cluster bombs. Under the cover of their companions, they rushed to the tanks and armored vehicles and died together with them, and went to destruction together in the flames of the explosion.
The Japanese were like a tough broken nail. Under the constant hammering and bombardment of the Lishan base, they were still firmly stuck under the city wall, allowing the Lishan base army to approach the breakthrough.
The island country of Japan was able to succeed in World War II and beat most of China into dire straits. Except for the weakness of China at that time, no one could deny the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. They plundered and killed like locusts, and had accurate marksmanship and willpower. The Japanese army in the TV series, which was not even as good as the puppet army, how could it be believed?
If the Japanese army was really like in the film and television dramas, how could it occupy most of China?
The Japanese people have tenacity and forbearance engraved in their bones. They are usually modest and polite, but when they go crazy, they are more terrifying than anyone else. Otherwise, there would not be so many Japanese soldiers who committed seppuku to apologize in history.
Such an army, which had defeated the Russians in the north decades ago, slaughtered and invaded most of China, defeated the British army in Burma in the south, and challenged the United States in the Pacific Ocean, has become even crazier and more terrifying after decades of precipitation and tempering in the end times.
