An unnamed village outside the town of Taoyuan.

No one knows what it's called, but the war has left the villagers fleeing, leaving behind an empty village where the Chinese and Japanese armies are fighting to the death, and the two sides are engaged in a brutal tug-of-war.

Even without the sturdy and intricate city streets and buildings of Stalingrad, the low-rise adobe houses still show the brutality and gore of street fighting.

"Yaga..." Holding the binoculars, looking at the village in the distance, looking at the battle scene in the village, and listening to the explosion from the village in the distance, the captain of the eighth brigade of the Sakamoto detachment, Nagamunetsu, was full of excitement and scolded fiercely.

In his field of vision, three Imperial soldiers cooperated with each other to cover each other, and finally killed the defenders in a house, and captured the house, but suddenly, from the house, a Republic of China soldier with a grenade strapped all over his body rushed out of the house, this is a wounded soldier who is about to fall out of his intestines, the grenades on his body are smoking, and then a large exploding smoke rises in his vision, and after a while, a breeze blows, and he sees three Imperial soldiers lying in a pool of blood. And this scene happens from time to time in the village.

On the other side of the village, it was a position built on a broken wall of rubble, and a squadron under his command had launched seven attacks on the place, and several times when they were about to arrive at the position, they were blown back by dense grenades, one of which had already captured the position, but was still snatched back by the Republic of China death squads covered in grenades.

At this time, more than half of his squad had already been killed, and it was a casualty, not a casualty.

"Attack, attack" Recalling the order of the detachment commander, Hissō had to order another squadron to attack as well.

······

A position outside the city of Linyi.

Here was the defensive position of a regiment of the 59th Division of the 180th Army.

Boom Boom...

Attacking here were devils, a full brigade and an artillery squadron. The Devil's artillery squadron was bombarding the position at this time, providing fire cover for the infantry, and as soon as the artillery fire was over, a squadron of Devil's infantry launched an attack on the position in a skirmish line. Despite the lack of cover from armored vehicles, these devils all bent over and pouted their butts, buried their heads under their butts, and walked in a zigzag pattern, looking for gaps in fire to rush from one bunker to the next, while firing at the defenders' positions with the help of bunkers.

Dadada····

At a distance of four hundred meters, the light and heavy machine guns had already fired, and the dense bullets were fired at the devils, making the devils' attack speed significantly slower. After being replenished by Luo Yun's hundreds of thousands of bullets, the firepower of the 59th Army increased significantly. But compared to the perfect firepower configuration of the devil, it is still a little insufficient.

Bang bang bang ·

The light and heavy machine guns began to fire for less than a minute, and the grenadiers of the devils began to fight back.

Boom Boom... 50 mm grenade grenades hit the defensive positions one after another, thanks to the early transfer, this wave did not lose a single machine gun, but during the transfer, without the suppression of light and heavy machine guns, the advance speed of the devils increased significantly. Then the light and heavy machine guns were put into position again, and the attack speed of the devils was suppressed again, and at the same time, the grenadiers that found a new position for the machine guns began to fire again.

The battle was fought in the battle of wits and courage between the two sides, and the casualties were intensified in the stillness and movement of both sides.

Occasionally, a devil accidentally fell into the fire of the machine gun and was instantly beaten into a sieve, and occasionally a machine gun that was not transferred in time was hit by a grenadier canister, and the machine gun was blown to pieces in an instant.

But the devils who have superior firepower and the initiative on the battlefield will soon be about to attack the position.

The distance between the devils is one hundred and fifty meters, such a close distance, the frequency of firing of light and heavy machine guns is significantly faster, and the rifles are also put into firing, between fifty meters and two hundred meters is the best shooting distance, this distance is the most intense time for the gunfight between the two sides. At this time, the advantage of the devil's higher shooting level was brought into play, and the casualties of the defenders began to increase.

At a distance of eighty meters, the company commander on the position gave the order.

"Grenade ready..."

With the sound of clattering grenades, grenades popped out of the soldiers' hands, the back cover was opened, and the little finger was already buckled on the lead. Except for light and heavy machine gun shooters and veterans who were shooting, the rest of the soldiers had five grenades on their side.

Twenty-five meters.

"Throw..."

The company commander roared angrily, and more than a hundred grenades immediately flew towards the devils, and the dense rain of grenades also made the devils lie down one after another.

"Continue"

The second wave of grenades flew out again, and there were more than a hundred explosions, and the dense explosions suddenly caused heavy losses to the advance of the devils, but at the same time, there was also an explosion in the defenders' positions, and a soldier was hit by the devils in the rear when he threw the grenade, and the grenade that was not thrown exploded in the trench.

Da Da Da ·

At this time, there were a large number of devils within a distance of only 100 meters within 50 meters, and the machine guns had begun to fire frantically at this distance, and the devils within 50 meters were greeted by grenades, and the battle lasted less than half an hour, and the devils finally had to stop attacking.

Battles are fought every day in this tug-of-war, and in general there is nothing that has changed today and before, but some details have changed.

"Captain, 30 of our people were killed and 37 wounded, of which 11 were seriously wounded"

Listening to the casualty statistics, the captain in charge of directing the attack frowned.

The reduction of 41 people is not small for a brigade, and a brigade has more than 1,200 people, and the reduction of more than 3 percent is not low.

Moreover, this is only the number of one attack, and the attack is only one squadron, a squadron has lost 41 men, close to a fifth, and each of his previous attacks has maintained casualties in single digits.

"What's going on?"

Feeling bad, the group leader left the headquarters and headed to the front line, where he wanted to investigate why the casualties had suddenly increased. If there were such heavy casualties every time, and he had to launch three to five attacks a day, then within three days, he would have to retreat because of excessive casualties, so why did he hold back the defenders of the Republic of China on the opposite position?

"A lot of grenades? There is also a noticeable increase in enemy firepower? ”

Where the squadron in charge of the attack was, the group commander knew the reasons for the increased casualties. It is not surprising that the enemy's firepower increases, and once the enemy's ammunition is replenished, then the machine-gun fire will naturally increase, but the large number of grenades makes him feel very strange. By asking the captain of the devil's brigade, it was learned that the enemy used nearly 2,000 grenades in this defense, and it was precisely because of this unexpected number of grenades that such a large number of casualties were caused to the troops.

Then he stepped forward and looked through the binoculars.

Despite the distance, the eight-fold telescope gave him a clear view.

The captain of the devil brigade saw that almost every defender on the opposite side was carrying a large number of grenades, and there were a large number of empty ammunition boxes around the thick ammunition bunker in the rear, and there were many soldiers around him who were carrying boxes of hand ammunition out of the bunker.
