Chapter Ninety-Nine: Momentum Breaks

In the Japanese concession, the piercing sirens mixed with the sound of guns and cannons resounded continuously, and Hasei Hirakawa and the others changed their faces violently after hearing the sirens, and then immediately ordered each to take their places and deploy the whole army.

"Whoa!"

Hasegawa gave an order, and all the officers rushed out of the conference room one by one with panicked expressions and rode towards their respective defense areas in a vehicle.

Hasegawa also issued a series of orders to delay the pace of the Chinese army mainly on the defensive.

A series of reactions from the top of the Japanese army were quite fast, but no matter how fast the reaction was, the defense line on the border was still broken.

The Japanese army has arranged a squad of soldiers at the border defense line, and the Japanese squad is larger than the number of a platoon, generally composed of a seven-person squad headquarters, three 13-person detachments, and an eight-person grenadier detachment equipped with three grenadiers, a total of 54 people.

But tonight the squad was guarding the border, and it took no more than five minutes to break through.

First of all, the Japanese machine gunners were suppressed by Zheng Long and could not raise their heads, and their firepower weakened, and secondly, the number of Chinese troops was too large, and the bullets entered the Japanese defense area like drifting rain, and the Japanese soldiers did not dare to show their heads at all.

Under the charge of intensive firepower, the men of the 3rd Brigade arrived at a position 100 meters away from the Japanese defense area in less than two minutes, and at this time, the barbed wire fence had been shattered by the bullets that were constantly speeding in the air, and the Japanese concession could no longer stop the pace of the 3rd Brigade except for the enemy in the trenches.

The night was lit up like day by the burst of bullets and the explosion of artillery shells, and the little devils were still stubbornly guarding the defense area, expecting the rapid arrival of reinforcements.

"One regiment, two regiments scattered to cover, three regiments to charge me, within a minute I will hit in." The third brigade commander yelled with a stiff neck, he still felt that the speed was too slow.

As soon as the order was given, the formation of the three brigades changed, the first regiment and the second regiment dispersed, standing in place, the bullets were suppressed towards the little devils in the defense area, and the soldiers rushed out as soon as the commander of the third regiment gave the order.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shells continued to explode in the soldiers of the three regiments, some fell, and some continued to rush, fearless of death!

Within the range of 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, and 50 meters of grenades, everyone was waiting for this moment.

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh............"

After reaching this distance, the soldiers of the three regiments cooperated very tacitly, and the two companies suppressed the enemy, and the soldiers of one company took out the grenades they carried and threw them at the Japanese trenches.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

For a while, the explosions continued to sound and dust was flying, and the Japanese troops in the trenches lay on the ground one by one, dodging shrapnel from the grenades.

At a distance of fifty meters, it took no more than five seconds to sprint with all his might, and when the dust cleared, the soldiers of the three regiments and one company had already reached the edge of the Japanese trench.

Close combat, extremely dangerous, real fight!

A Japanese soldier just showed his head and was about to shoot and continue shooting, but was stabbed through the neck with a bayonet by a Chinese soldier on his head.

"Kill!"

After the Chinese soldier was shot in the chest, he roared angrily, jumped into the trench, stood in the trench and shot at the little devil, the little devil was not slow to react, and several little devils aimed their wounds at the Chinese soldier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

There was no trace of nonsense on both sides, and they directly raised their guns to shoot, and a burst of gunfire rang out, and the Chinese soldier was bleeding from several small wounds on his upper body, and his eyes slowly drifted, and then he fell to the ground, judging from his face, he was just in his early twenties this year.

And one of the little devils in the trenches was lying on the ground, convulsing all over, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

This scene is just a small microcosm of the war, and there are many, many more tragic scenes than this one.

Subsequently, one by one, the Chinese soldiers jumped into the trenches and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese soldiers, and the Chinese soldiers behind saw that the Japanese firepower had been greatly reduced, and they rushed over one by one.

The crowd jumped into the trenches one by one, and some directly crossed the first trench and directly entered the second trench of the Japanese army, and the battlefield was completely chaotic, and the numerical superiority of the Chinese side was highlighted.

In less than five minutes, the first line of defense of the Japanese army was broken, which was equivalent to the door of the Japanese concession being opened.

"Leave a group and a company, give me this position to die, and a little devil can't be released." The commander of the 3rd Brigade was quite talented in military affairs, and he methodically ordered "the first regiment to advance from the west, the second regiment to advance from the middle, and the third regiment to advance from the east." ”

Disperse manpower and enter in three directions, this is the best choice, because in the Japanese concession, there are many buildings, various alleys, and the terrain is relatively complex.

Sure enough, after receiving the order, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments immediately split the troops into better units, and a platoon formed a platoon, each platoon was connected with each other, and advanced in a fan shape into the four concessions, not sparing any corner.

At this time, Zheng Long also moved, and he took the troops of a company of the special operations battalion to find a direction and swept towards the Japanese concession.

In the other three places, the 3rd Brigade of the 87th Division followed by Zheng Long did not break through the first line of defense of the Japanese army until two to five minutes later, and the main difference was that the Japanese army's heavy firepower was destroyed too late, and there was no way to do it, after all, there was only one sniper as good as Zheng Long.

According to historical records, the Chinese side once invited the Germans to train snipers, and it took several months to train dozens of snipers from a million-strong army.

Therefore, at all times, a good sniper is a strategic resource and indispensable.

It is worth mentioning that the 2nd Brigade of the 88th Division was met with greater resistance, and they were more unlucky, because there happened to be a Japanese detachment of about 30 people patrolling near the defense area in that direction, and after they heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately supported him on the battlefield.

The attacker and the defender are not of the same nature, especially in the case of perfect military defense, the attacker often has to use several times the strength to break through the nature of the defender, because the defender occupies a favorable position, and the heavy weapons are placed in advance, the radiation range is relatively large, if there is no violent weapon, it can only be gradually advanced, this is no way.

After five minutes of attack, the commander of the second brigade of the 88th Division was anxious, and if it dragged on, the reinforcements of the Japanese army would definitely arrive, and it would definitely be more difficult to fight at that time, so the commander of the second brigade thought of a way to pull the soldiers into it with a truck.

Although there are not many trucks on the Chinese side, there are not many trucks, and as soon as the order is given, soldiers will immediately start transporting them.

Two minutes later, two trucks drove rapidly towards the Japanese defense line, the back of the truck full of soldiers shrunk their necks to avoid the bullets, all of them were covering the truck, although the Japanese army resisted with all their might, but finally one truck violently broke through the barbed wire and rushed into the Japanese defense line.

Then, the soldiers in the pockets of the car jumped out and pounced on the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.

The breakthrough was made, and the rest of the soldiers followed and burst in, and after a burst of gunfire, the line of defense was finally broken.

Attacking at half past eight, at eight fifty o'clock, the four army troops all broke into the Japanese concession, taking the Japanese army by surprise.

The power of the German mechanic is unstoppable!
