Zhou Hua's movements were swift, and he pulled all the reserves of the independent battalion forward, and finally was able to stop the counter-charge and breakthrough action of more than 2,000 Japanese troops jointly commanded by the commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, Fujita Jin, and the chief of staff of his division, Tayuan Toshio Daisa, who suddenly launched a counter-charge and breakthrough operation to the northern flank.

Under the artillery fire of more than a dozen 80 mm mortars and eight Japanese Type 92 infantry guns captured in previous battles, the offensive of more than 2,000 Japanese troops who counterattacked and broke through was crushed!

In the midst of the embarrassment, the commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Jin, with blood-red eyes, hacked to death a few devil soldiers who ran backwards, but he still couldn't stop the Japanese soldiers who ran from the position that had always come from his side.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Several shells fired by the artillery units of the independent battalion landed at close range and exploded less than 10 meters from Fujita's advance, frightening the division's chief of staff on the side, Toshio Osa, who was pulling Fujita and hiding in a trench less than two meters behind.

In a hurry, the katana held by Fujita Shin was accidentally thrown away in the process of Tian Yuan Toshio pulling Fujita Shin!

"Tian Yuanjun, what are you doing here!" Fujita Jin looked at the chief of staff of the division who was holding him, Tian Yuan Li Xiong Osa, with blood-red eyes, and asked angrily.

Tian Yuan Lixiong said urgently: "Division commander, the artillery fire of the new regiment is fierce. The machine-gun fire that blocked our breakthrough was very strong, there were more than twenty heavy machine guns, and our soldiers were already charging enough. But the division commander, look at it, such a charge, it's just a suicide attack! ”。

Fujita Jin heard this, and the angry words were blocked in his throat. The old devil stood on the edge of the trench and looked to the opposite side, only to see that although the Japanese soldiers concentrated their forces in his command room and charged bravely, the reaction of the independent battalion Zhou Hua's headquarters was actually very fast.

The strafing of light and heavy machine guns and the bombardment of artillery completely defeated the 2,000 Japanese troops under the command of Fujita Shin himself.

At this time, the charging road was full of the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed by the soldiers of the independent battalion, as well as the shattered Japanese soldiers from the artillery fire, lying on the muddy ground.

It was raining constantly, and the muddy roads made the charging Japanese troops streak all the way to the field under the fire of the soldiers of the new regiment of independent battalions that blocked them!

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out on the battlefield, and a Japanese soldier who was hiding on the muddy ground was killed on the spot when a bullet from the opposite side was concentrated in the temple and did not know where it came from.

And the devil soldier was only thirty meters away from Fujita Susuru, and Fujita Susumu who was watching immediately hid in the trench.

Such an accurate killing of the ghost soldiers hidden in the pile of corpses on the battlefield shows that the opposing soldier's marksmanship is very accurate, and it may be a sniper!

For the current Fujita Jin, he is already a division commander, so he naturally regrets his life. Seeing that the devil soldier not far away was shot in the temple and killed, of course, he hurriedly hid in the trench.

At this time, all the devils who charged had been defeated by the artillery fire of the independent battalion and the furious strafing bombardment of light and heavy machine gun fire, and had withdrawn.

A few minutes later, a devil staff officer walked from the side of the trench to find Fujita Jin with half a meter of rain that had accumulated in the trench, "Report to the division commander, chief of staff, the two thousand imperial soldiers who charged, according to emergency statistics, only less than 1,300 people have withdrawn. The rest were blocked and killed by the enemy troops on the opposite side on the way to the charge, and they sacrificed their lives for the empire! ”

"Nani? One charge, we have suffered more than 700 imperial warriors? ”

When Fujita heard this, he was stunned and asked in disbelief!

"Yes, division commander! The statistics are basically not wrong! The devil staff officer said with a wry smile.

Looking around, Fujita found that the Japanese soldiers in the trenches were much more relaxed. Turning his head and cautiously looking at the battlefield opposite the trench, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere, and at least more than 500 Japanese corpses were already lying on the battlefield.

"Eight Tooth Road! Damn it! ”

Taking over the division commander's exclusive katana picked up by Toshio Tamura, Fujita Jin held the katana and slashed at the dirt on the edge of the trench in front of him, and roared!

"Division Commander! The situation is not optimistic! The Eighth Route Army, which outflanked us in a roundabout way and intercepted us, should be the main force. The fire was strong, the artillery fire was fierce, and the strength was on par with the two thousand Imperial soldiers we had just charged! The enemy blocked, we charged, and with weak firepower, the loss of the charge was predictable! ”

Tian Yuan Lixiong said in a condensed voice, according to the current losses, the remaining strength of the 3rd Division at this time is only 33,400 men and horses.

In other words, at this time, the remnants of the Japanese army in the entrenched position were already far less than the total strength of the new regiment besieging it.

And the firepower of the other party is far stronger than theirs! If the breakthrough fails, even if the second breakthrough starts immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through!

"Charge through again, I'm afraid it won't succeed! The opponent is already on guard, the machine gun fire has been deployed to cross, and once we break through again, the opponent's machine gun can lock a large area. If we charge, we will suffer heavy casualties! ”

Fujita Shinya had to admit that it was very difficult to defeat the main force of the new regiment that had been outflanked to the north of them. The opponent's reaction speed was very fast, even if it encountered a sudden breakthrough attack under his personal command of Fujita Susuru, but still relied on powerful machine gun fire and artillery bombardment, crushing the 2,000 Japanese troops who broke through, forcing the charging Japanese troops to retreat to their starting positions in the face of heavy casualties.

Otherwise, continuing the charge under the superior blocking fire of the separate battalion is just shredded by countless bullets and shell fragments, and it is pointless.

"Send someone to report to Your Excellency the General immediately! Request your Excellency's tactical guidance! Fujita Jin thought about it, and still said to Toshio Tana.

Tian Yuan Lixiong was a little helpless after thinking about it, "Understand, division commander, I'll do it immediately!" Immediately, Tayuan Toshio immediately sent a herald to report the losses of the breakthrough to Matsui Ishine.

In less than a minute, Matsui Ishine received the unfavorable battle situation of the northern front breakthrough sent by Fujita Shin, and Matsui Ishine, who learned the situation, was dejected.

At this time, the 1st and 4th Battalions of the 1st New Regiment and the 1,000 New 1st Regiment Reserve, totaling 5,000 soldiers of the 1st New Regiment, had broken through the resistance of the Japanese positions on the southern front and had already reached a place less than 100 meters from the bunker of his headquarters.

The remaining more than 1,000 Japanese troops on the southern front were beaten by 5,000 new regiment fighters at this time, and only less than 300 soldiers remained, and the east and west wings were each transferred two squadrons to Fujita after breaking through, and the east and west wings were also lost!

At this time, the total annihilation of the 3rd Division was inevitable! In the case of an unfavorable breakthrough on the northern front, Matsui Ishine has no other way.

"Your Excellency General, the southern front can't be stopped, and the enemy is about to hit less than fifty meters from the headquarters! Let's go! Let's move closer to Fujita! At this time, Kagesa Zhenzhao also knew the unfavorable situation of the breakthrough on the northern front, but at this time, Fujita Jin still had more than 1,300 Japanese troops in his hands, plus the defeated Japanese troops on the eastern and western flanks and the southern front, at least 17,800 Japanese troops could make the last effort to break through to the north.
