Sunset Ridge.

The attacking troops of the rest of the devils everywhere were also strongly blocked by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

In the end, the first attack had to be stopped because of heavy casualties.

Sunset Ridge, which was still shaking the sky with the sound of artillery fire at the last moment, temporarily fell into silence with the withdrawal of the devils.

However, whether it is a combat zone full of potholes and gunsmoke, or everywhere on the battlefield, the corpses of soldiers lying on the ground on both sides of the enemy and the enemy, and have not had time to rein, all show the cruelty of this war.

There was really a river of blood, and corpses were everywhere.

Breathe in the disgusting, foul-smelling air that smells of blood.

Although the first wave of the devil's offensive was contained, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment did not dare to take it lightly.

After a burst of fire covering up the retreating devils, under the leadership of Yang Chen, he began to repair the blown up fortifications and rescue the wounded.

……

The picture pulls back to the Japanese attack position.

looked like a group of lost dogs, fleeing back in panic.

The old devil Saburo Ishihara grinned, clenched his steel teeth, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

In the slightly narrowed eyes, there was an undisguised ferocity.

Obviously, this is a sign of anger.

The devil Shaozuo, who was the leader, ran quickly towards Ishihara Saburo.

From afar, this devil Shaozuo noticed the anger on the brigade commander's face, and his heart "chuckled" at that time.

He came up to Ishihara Saburo, saluted, and was about to open his mouth to justify the ineffectiveness of the attack.

As a result, before he could speak, the angry Ishihara Saburo pulled out the general's knife at his waist with a "dang long".

The devil Shaozo trembled with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Excellency the general spare your life!" ”

Ishihara Saburo was gloomy and unmoved, and he was about to continue to slash down.

At this time, Ishihara Saburo's Chief of Staff hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency the General is angry! ”

Obviously, the same Shaozuo, the status of this devil's chief of staff in Ishihara Saburo's mind is obviously much higher than that of the captain who suffered defeat.

Ishihara Saburo narrowed his eyes slightly, turning his head to stare at his chief of staff, obviously wanting to hear his explanation.

The chief of staff looked at the captain, who was trembling with fright, and his face was like a mournful one, and found that he was looking at him with grateful eyes.

Then he retracted his gaze and said: "Your Excellency, the failure of the attack at this time is not due to the ineffective command of Koizumi-kun, nor the ineffective operation of the Koizumi brigade!"

It is really the enemy who occupies an absolute geographical advantage.

Besides, as you know, what we are facing now is not your ordinary China. Army, but the most difficult opponent in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army.

In this way, it is reasonable that Koizumi's brigade failed in attacking.

Besides, if this enemy army on the mountain is really so easy to deal with, we have to wonder if they are the Chinese Tiger Bunch. ”

"What do you mean, attacking at this time, the Koizumi brigade is not only without fault, but has meritorious?

Because they determined the identity of the enemy troops. ”

Facing the sharp knife-like gaze of the brigade commander Ishihara Saburo, the chief of staff trembled in fright, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and explained: "This is not the intention of lowly duties, but now is the time to employ people, and it is really not appropriate to kill generals in battle."

Moreover, this first attack, even if it is replaced by other brigades, the result may not be much better.

Therefore, I think that Your Excellency the General should give Koizumi-kun another chance to make amends.

If he still doesn't fight well, it's not too late for you to punish him!

After all, Koizumi-kun is also your old subordinate, whether it is his combat command ability, or his loyalty to the empire and you, it is absolutely true! ”

Ishihara Saburo fell into deep thought, indeed, the situation is just as the chief of staff said, Koizumi's combat command ability, as well as his loyalty, are absolutely indispensable.

The reason why he was defeated in this battle was only because he encountered the most difficult opponent of him, Ishihara Saburo, and even the entire Imperial Japanese Army.

Therefore, the defeat seems to be reasonable.

He didn't think that the Koizumi Brigade could win the battle in one battle, but the Koizumi Brigade chose to retreat backwards when it still had nearly half of its troops, which made him a little angry.

At this time, since the chief of staff interceded for him, after a moment of silence, Ishihara Saburo decided to give Koizumi another chance to make up for his mistakes.

With a sharp gaze like a knife, he slowly swiped over Koizumi's face, and then said coldly: "Koizumi Yingdao, since the chief of staff intercedes for you, then I will give you another chance!"

This time, in addition to your Koizumi brigade, I will transfer another 500 imperial troops to you to command.

If you can capture the enemy's position in one fell swoop, you will be absolved of the sin of ineffective combat just now; And if you still fail to attack, you will be punished for both crimes.

Then, you don't have to come back.

Directly disembowel, apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Haya! Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, this time, the humble post will definitely capture the enemy's position, and the enemy commander, Yang Chen's head, will come to see you! ”

Koizumi Takado looked resolute, saluted Ishihara Saburo, and wanted to turn around and leave to continue the next attack.

But the chief of staff stopped him.

"Koizumi-kun, please slow down!"

Koizumi Takaichi turned his head and looked at the chief of staff with a grateful and puzzled look.

The chief of staff of the devil did not give instructions to Koizumi Takado, but turned his head to look at the brigade commander Ishihara Saburo next to him, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, the humble post has been observing this attack of Koizumi's brigade just now!"

Originally, Koizumi's brigade was about to attack the enemy's position.

But at this moment, our artillery position was suddenly countered by enemy artillery fire.

Then, without the suppression of our artillery fire, the enemy blocking troops were able to open fire with impunity.

In this way, Koizumi's brigade was defeated.

Of course, the humble post is not an explanation for the Koizumi brigade.

Instead, I want to expound my own point of view, this hateful Yang Chen is worthy of being the most difficult opponent in the history of the Imperial Army.

It's a lot of cunning!

He didn't put in the artillery at the beginning, so we let our guard down, which led to the failure of the attack.

Not only did the Koizumi brigade suffer heavy casualties, but even our artillery units suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, I believe that in order to win the first battle and win the immortal battle feat of the whole Annihilation Tiger Regiment, Your Excellency the General should ask His Excellency the Division Commander for artillery support!

It would be even better if it could be supported by the Air Force! ”

"Hmm!"

After hearing this, Ishihara Saburo nodded thoughtfully.

……

The picture pulls back to the sun, in order to take advantage of the gap between the devil's withdrawal and repair as many fortifications as possible, Yang Chen himself rolled up his sleeves and joined in.

Sure enough, the devil's rout army had just retreated for a long time, and it was like a tide, making a comeback again, and the momentum was even greater than the last time.

Among them, the devil's army had just swarmed to the bottom of the mountain, and the dense rain of shells under the black pressure smashed down towards the mountain and the position of the Tiger Ben Regiment.
