Bright Sword Rising from Picking Rewards

Chapter 115 A cavalry squadron was destroyed by bombing

The Japs troops of the 41nd Battalion of the 239th Infantry Regiment of the 2st Infantry Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the outskirts of Wutai County at nine o'clock the next morning. Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Shoji, as the captain, was riding On a Type [-] tank, I personally leaned out of the tank turret and observed the road conditions ahead.

There were four Type [-] tanks and chariots beside him, following and protecting him.

These five Type 239 tanks were rented by him from the [-]th Regiment Commander Yamada Takahito.

This is also his biggest trump card in attacking Wutai County this time.
Therefore, he was full of confidence in attacking Wutai County this time, and he would be able to capture it easily.

"Your Excellency, Captain! We have about 10 minutes before we arrive at Wutai County below the city!"

"Our cavalry reconnaissance unit is conducting reconnaissance ahead. I believe there will be a report on the situation on that side soon!"

Just as the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Shoji, was commanding the tank and chariot team and following the infantry troops,

A white Japanese horse also rushed over and stopped in front of five Type [-] tanks and chariots.

Then the Japanese cavalry officer Ishikawa Juncheng, who was riding on a horse, immediately reported.

As the squadron leader of the cavalry squadron, he is also responsible for this attack on Wutai County and assists the cavalry commander of the 2nd Battalion. Therefore, he is also responsible for reporting the latest reconnaissance information to the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Masaharu.

"Yosie! That's good!"

"Within today, we must fully occupy the entire city of Wutai County and spend the night there!"

"Of course, in the end, I will be able to complete all my combat mission deployments within three hours. As a reward, I can allow you all to extend your free time in the city for an hour!"

After listening to the other party’s report,

Lieutenant Commander Sugata Masaharu gave instructions with great joy.

"Nani! Will the free time be extended by an hour?"

"Don't worry! Your Excellency Captain, we will definitely complete this combat mission, and I believe that whether it is our cavalry unit or Your Excellency Captain's infantry unit, as long as we hear that we can get one more hour of free time, Everyone will definitely be excited, and everyone will thoroughly carry out the orders of the Captain!"

"And they will complete this combat mission brilliantly!"

"Wutai County will definitely be fully occupied by our imperial army within three hours, or even one hour!"

"All the property and women inside will belong to our 2nd Brigade!"

After hearing that Captain Sugata Masaharu promised to give them an extra hour of free time,

The squadron leader of the cavalry squadron, Ishikawa Juncheng, immediately agreed with a smile.

For him, this is very good news,

So after he replied to the captain, Lieutenant Commander Sugata Shoji, he quickly made some calculations in his mind. After occupying Wutai County, how could he plunder more finances within an hour? And women.

"Hahaha! You all want one more hour of free time, so go and complete the combat mission I assigned you right now!"

"Maybe I can capture Wutai County without even attacking our tanks and chariots!"

"I heard from our intelligence department that there are no Chinese troops stationed in Wutai County, and even if there are Chinese troops stationed, wherever the front lines of our imperial army pass by, they are just cannon fodder and useless troops on our offensive path. That’s all!”

"The useless army was defeated in one blow!"

Looking at the greedy look in the eyes of the squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng of the cavalry squadron,

Captain Sugata Shoji and Lieutenant Colonel immediately encouraged him.

"Hay!"

"Don't worry! Our Third Cavalry Squadron will be the first imperial force to enter Wutai County. Wutai County will definitely be captured within the time specified by the Captain!"

Squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng immediately nodded in agreement after feeling happy.

"Yo Xi! I'm optimistic about you! Go! My infantry unit and artillery unit can support operations at any time!"

"I will even directly command the tanks and chariots to enter the city!"

Captain Sugata Masaharu nodded with satisfaction and responded.

"Hay!"

After squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng agreed loudly,
He immediately rode his white Japanese horse and returned to his cavalry reconnaissance force as quickly as possible.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da!"

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom."

But at this moment,
A series of heavy machine gun shooting sounds, mixed with a series of mortar bombing sounds, became deafening.

Then, when the squadron leader of the cavalry squadron, Junjo Ishikawa, just returned to his cavalry unit,
I immediately saw with my own eyes the tragic situation of my cavalry reconnaissance unit being killed by mortar shells and heavy machine gun fire.

There were also various kinds of miserable howling sounds, as well as the sounds of those killed in battle, rising and falling.

The squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng, who had not yet come to his senses, was stunned.

Then, his face was full of shock and panic.

Because he saw that several mortar shells were bombing towards him.

"Baga! Where are these mortar shells coming from?"

Then, squadron leader Ishikawa Junjo looked at the mortar shells that were bombing down with helpless eyes and fear, and exclaimed,

At the same time, he also instinctively made an action of riding a large Japanese horse to avoid the bombardment.

It's just that these mortar shell groups came too fast, too suddenly, and there were quite a lot of them.

So before squadron leader Ishikawa Junjo could escape,

He and his horse were hit by a group of mortar shells.

"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom."

The sound of the explosion was louder than the last, accompanied by the sky-high firelight and thick smoke, which drowned the horrified squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng and his beautiful white Japanese horse.

Before becoming cannon fodder,
Squadron leader Ishikawa Juncheng never dreamed that he would be killed so quickly, so at the moment he was blown up, he was in shock and had a look of unwillingness to die like this.

Unfortunately, the ruthless swarm of mortar bombs ignored his responsible inner feelings and devoured him and his Japanese horses.

In the distance, the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Sugata Shoji, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers around him were shocked by the rumbling artillery bombardment not far in front of them.

This is a huge and intensive artillery bombing scene compared to the power of artillery fire coverage and bombing by a brigade of artillery groups.

Especially when they saw the shocking scene of a cavalry squadron being bombed not far away in front of them, it really made them gasp. They were lucky that they were not the vanguard, otherwise they would have been bombed now. They are the ones who will die.
