Japanese forward observation post.

Aso Jiro put down the binoculars and said to Katano proudly: "Wing Commander, the 2nd Infantry Squadron and the 4th Infantry Squadron are about to break through the defensive positions of the Shina Army. ”

Katano said lightly: "It's too early to say this. ”

"Nani?" Aso Jiro frowned and said, "The firepower of the Shina Army has been completely suppressed by the Imperial Army's fire support group, and they are no longer able to stop the charge of the Imperial Army, and in about half a minute at most, the Imperial Army can break through to the defensive position of the Shina Army, and the battle will be over at that time." ”

Katano said, "But it's going to take half a minute, right?" ”

Aso Jiro said: "The captain thinks there will be an accident? ”

"Who knows?" Katano shook his head and said, "I hope there won't be either." ”

Speaking of this, Katano said again: "Aso-kun, don't you think it's strange that the artillery of the Shina Army hasn't appeared until now? ”

"Shina artillery?" Jiro Aso said, "The number of artillery in the Shina Army is very small. ”

"But Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps is an exception." Katano said, "You also saw the intensity of the firepower just now, this is a true mechanic." ”

Aso Jiro was awe-struck when he heard this.

As for the standard of the American mechanic, the Japanese War Department has done research.

A standard U.S. mechanic division with a howitzer regiment with four artillery battalions armed with 36 105mm field howitzers and 12 155mm field howitzers.

The intensity of such firepower far exceeds that of one of their artillery wings.

Aso Jiro said in a deep voice: "Not to mention whether there is an artillery unit of this scale in the coastal defense corps, even if there is, they are afraid that they will not dare to fire artillery in the daytime, right?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced up at the sky, and said, "After all, we still have aviation to help in the war." ”

Katano said in a deep voice: "The problem is that the support capacity of the aviation force is very limited now. ”

When Jiro Aso wanted to speak again, an explosion suddenly sounded in front of him, and when he looked back, he saw that clouds of smoke and dust had bloomed in the Japanese stormtrooper formation.

"Yaga!" Aso Jiro gritted his teeth and said, "There really are artillery!" ”

Katano quickly raised his binoculars and carefully observed the effects of the shelling ahead.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, it can be clearly seen that the shelling of the Chinese army has posed a serious threat to the assault operation of Aso's brigade, especially the fire support group that remained in the rear has been seriously countered and interfered with, so that the Chinese soldiers who were originally pressed and could not lift their heads raised their heads again, and opened full fire.

In the field of vision, rows of charging Japanese soldiers fell.

However, the corners of Katano Sadami's mouth instead smiled.

"Yo Si." Katano put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "It seems that Zhong Yi's coastal defense corps is not an American mechanic in the true sense, because they don't have an artillery cluster of an American mechanic at all!" ”

After a pause, Katano said again: "A few light mortars of 60mm caliber may not be enough to stop the charge of the imperial army, so I ordered the 3rd Independent Field Artillery Brigade to immediately organize a fire counterattack!" ”

……

Qin Jiu was pressed under the trench by the devil's machine-gun fire, and he couldn't even lift his head.

Just when Qin Jiu didn't know what to do, a muffled sound suddenly came from the halfway point of Jiulong Mountain, and then streamers of light swept across the dark night sky and landed on the position in front of them.

Suddenly, the devil's charging formation was in chaos, and more than a dozen devils were overturned in an instant, and then the fire support teams on the two wings of the devils and the rear were also affected, and the fire support was forced to be interrupted.

As soon as the ballistic trajectory running over the trench stopped, Qin Jiu and his comrades felt it.

The next moment, Qin Jiu and his comrades immediately returned to the firing position, raised the Garand rifle or Thomson submachine gun in their hands again and opened fire fiercely.

Just a quick firepower, the devil fell in a large area.

Qin Jiu looked ahead, only to see that there were many fewer devils.

However, the good times did not last long, just when Qin Jiu and his comrades were preparing to use their absolute superior firepower to knock down all the remaining devil infantry, a piercing scream swept through the air.

Then, halfway up the mountainside of Jiulong Mountain, a dazzling red light bloomed.

Almost at the same time, the devil attack planes hovering in the air also swooped down again and fired frantically at the artillery positions halfway up the Jiulong Mountain.

With the continuous explosions, accompanied by the repeated dive strafing of the Devil attack planes, the own artillery, which had just been suppressing the fire support group of the Devils, soon fell silent.

Having lost the suppression of the artillery, the fire support group of the devils was once again powerful.

The dense heavy machine-gun fire poured like a torrential rain, and the grenades also fell like raindrops, and the officers and men of the 1st platoon were once again suppressed in the battlefield and could not raise their heads.

It was not until the Devil infantry approached to a distance of fifty meters that the Devil fire support group stopped firing.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, just as Qin Jiu and his comrades were about to get up and fire again, the devil infantry who were rushing forward quickly untied the grenades on their waists, knocked on the steel helmet, and threw them over.

Hundreds of grenades exploded at the same time on the positions of the national army, killing and injuring many officers and men of the national army, and the smoke and dust produced completely obscured the vision.

Looking at this posture, Yu Qi knew that it was inevitable for the devil to break into the position.

"All of them, bayonet!" Yu Qi pulled out his bayonet with his backhand and yelled, "Prepare to stab!" ”

Fighting bayonets, soldiers on both sides fight to the death at close range and face to face, which is the most brutal part of modern combat, and it is also the bloodiest part!

"Ahh......hh

Including Qin Jiu, the remaining more than 90 officers and soldiers in the 1st platoon pulled out their bayonets from the scabbard on their waists as quickly as possible, inserted them into the bayonet slot of the Garand rifle, and then followed Yu Qi, roaring hysterically.

But I saw that one by one they opened their mouths wide and their eyebrows were hideous, like wounded beasts.

Almost at the same time, the hoarse roar of the devil could be heard in the smoke and dust.

As if to embolden himself, as if to overwhelm the opponent in momentum, the soldiers of the national army in the trenches and the devils in the smoke and dust roared hysterically at the same time, and the sound was monstrous.

The next moment, Yu Qi took the lead in rushing out of the trench with a rifle with a good bayonet.

Qin Jiu was the first to follow, followed by the second and third...... In the blink of an eye, more than 90 officers and men of the country had rushed out of the trenches with bayonets in their hands.

Ahead, smoke and dust billowed out, and there were still no devils in sight.

But a second later, the first devil rushed out with a three-eight big cover.

The devil's 38th big cover has also been loaded with bayonets, emitting a snowy cold light.
