The sky is getting dark, the cold wind is tightening, not only the snowflakes falling in the sky are wrapped in the cold wind and beating people's faces, but even the snowflakes that have fallen to the ground are also swept up by the increasingly tight cold wind, opening a silver-white curtain between heaven and earth!

Without carrying any excavation tools, the Japanese soldiers scattered in front of the Eighth Route Army's position finally relied on some bomb craters and slightly undulating terrain to build a shallow trench with several fractures.

In order to show their determination to move forward and die if they are not victorious, the Japanese soldiers who participated in the sixth attack all stripped off their shirts and wore only a thin shirt to battle. After being slowed down in the snow and digging a trench in the freezing cold for almost half an hour, all the Japanese soldiers who were crammed into the trench were shivering with cold.

After a brief hesitation, the first person to pick up his clothes from the corpses of Korean soldiers who died in battle finally wrapped himself in an extra layer of blood-soaked cloth. After the first role model appeared, more and more Japanese soldiers were like ghouls who appeared in the cemetery at night, taking advantage of the cover of strong winds and heavy snow, looking for the corpses of Korean Japanese soldiers who were almost covered by heavy snow, and then pulling down their frozen clothes from those corpses and draping them on themselves......

Brutally pulled off a shirt with blood ice and bullet holes from a Korean Japanese soldier, the Japanese lieutenant stumbled and groped his way to the staff officer who was freezing his teeth, and handed the shirt with blood ice and bullet holes to the staff officer: "Although it is dirty, please put it on reluctantly to resist the cold, right?" ”

Shaking his head with effort, the staff officer, who was already frozen to the point that his fingers were completely stiff, said in a trembling voice: "There is no need for this! The soldiers can no longer endure such a bitter cold, and if they continue to stalemate like this, I am afraid that they will not even have the strength to launch an assault! Excellency....... Give the order for a surprise attack, right?! ”

Looking up at the sky flying all over the sky with visibility of less than five meters in front of him, the Japanese lieutenant nodded without hesitation: "I can only launch an assault!" After so long of silence on the battlefield, there was no movement behind us...... Your Excellency, allow me to lead those Koreans in the first wave of assault! ”

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, the staff officer raised his hand and pointed to the Japanese veterans lying in the shallow trench not far away: "In addition to those Koreans, the samurai of the empire really can't wait any longer!" There are no waves, and there is no order, right...... Give the order for the assault! ”

After a slight hesitation, the Japanese lieutenant shook his head resolutely: "With such visibility, the assault will only point out the target to those who also can't see too far!" Your Excellency, let's sneak in! Even if you can get one more step into the melee trench, you can increase your chances of victory! ”

Seeing that the staff officer, who was already frozen and faint, was no longer able to put forward a different meaning, the Japanese lieutenant, who was also frozen and stiff, rubbed his frozen slap vigorously, and grabbed a Japanese soldier lying beside him: "Silent assault!" Try to get as stealthy as possible to the enemy trenches and don't shoot until the enemy has not fired! ”

After only a moment's effort, the Japanese soldiers, who were already half frozen to death, crawled silently in the direction of the trenches of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Japanese captain. Although many Japanese soldiers lost their way and gradually dispersed from the group in the snowstorm, most of the Japanese soldiers still crawled in a roughly accurate direction, like a poisonous snake trying to find a nest for the winter before freezing.

Either by chance or by luck, the Japanese soldiers who climbed at the front faintly heard a few faint coughing sounds in the raging wind and snow. If you listen closely, you can faintly hear the sound of stomping on the snow as you walk in the snow ahead.

After making a few gestures to each other, several Japanese soldiers of Korean nationality who were crawling in front of them made a few gestures to each other, and they all gently removed the bayonet under the barrel of the gun, threw the rifle in the snow, and climbed in the direction of the sound in front of them - hand-to-hand combat in a narrow trench, the length of the 38 large cover and the bayonet would become less flexible due to the constraints of the range of motion.

Rather than this, it is better to carry out a silent assassination with only a bayonet ?!

Like a leech that smelled blood, although the visibility was extremely poor, after a few Japanese soldiers of Korean nationality who were crawling in front of the company discovered the target, the veterans of the Japanese army who were not far behind and had extremely rich combat experience also followed silently, and all of them pounced in the direction of the trench where the faint sound of people could be heard.

As if inadvertently discovering a strange movement outside the trench, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army guarding the trench pulled the trigger in a little panic and fired a bullet in front of the trench...... The devil touched it......"

At the beginning of the shouting, from the trenches guarded by the Eighth Route Army, a large area of chaotic gunfire suddenly rang out. Several poorly made horsetail grenades were also thrown indiscriminately, causing several muffled explosions on the thick snow, but they did not hurt even a Japanese soldier who was close to the explosion point, but pointed out the target of the attack for the other Japanese soldiers who were groping and crawling in the wind and snow.

Obviously because of the panic, as if they didn't expect the Japanese army to brave the heavy snow, only with the front of the position was pressed to the head of this little force to launch a night attack, the machine guns on the second defense position of the Eighth Route Army also began to sound wildly, although under the dense machine gun strafing, not even a single Japanese soldier who was knocked down by the machine gun, but the machine gun sound that exploded in the dark night has always stubbornly maintained the mode of strafing, as if to carry out this strafing that cannot even be guaranteed by intimidation to the ground?

In the face of the overwhelming sound of machine gun fire, several Japanese soldiers of Korean nationality who rushed to the front almost fell headlong into the trench where the outline could not be seen clearly. Before a few Korean Japanese soldiers could regain their footing, several sharp machetes had already slashed at the Korean soldiers who had fallen on their backs.

In the heart-rending howl, the chestnut group that slashed over a Korean Japanese soldier with a machete shook the knife, and there were some blood stains on the body that instantly solidified, and the slap wearing thick cotton gloves dragged hard, and dragged Meng Mancang, who had just overturned two Korean Japanese soldiers and was about to jump out of the trench to kill him, back into the trench: "Red eyes when you see blood? Fight and retreat! ”

Holding the two sharp long knives in his hand, Meng Mancang, who had just let the blade drink blood, looked at the target who was cut down by himself very unwillingly, and under the rotation of his warm hands that were always in his arms, the two long knives almost swept against the ground at the edge of the trench, and cut a Korean Japanese soldier who rushed to the trench into four pieces with his legs knee-length: "This is just the beginning of the fight, and you withdrew?" ”

Grabbing an oblate Japanese mine that was resting beside him, the chestnut group carefully pulled out the safety bolt from the mine, and then stuffed the Japanese mine under the corpse of a Japanese soldier: "If you fight again, the devil will stick, and a good battle will have to be fought in a sandwich!" Remove! ”

Sulking helplessly, Meng Mancang had to obey the orders of the chestnut group, and together with several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army armed with machetes, he withdrew in the direction of the second defense along the lightning-shaped communication trench between the two fronts. Just a moment after the chestnut group and others had just evacuated, groups of Japanese veterans had already jumped into the trenches abandoned by the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as their feet were firmly established in the trenches, the Japanese veterans formed back-to-back combinations of hand-to-hand combat that are commonly used in the trenches. Some of these Japanese veterans looked at the backs of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were still swaying in the direction of the communication trenches, and after aiming their guns for a moment, they lowered their muzzles again - no matter how good their marksmanship was, no one dared to guarantee a shot in such a snowstorm and such poor visibility. For these veterans of the Japanese army, they would not blindly shoot at targets that they were not sure to hit.

As more and more Japanese soldiers either jumped forward or fell into the trenches, the staff officer, who had been completely dazed by the cold, finally jumped into the trench under the pull of two Japanese veterans. Seeing that those Japanese veterans with rich combat experience had begun to search for both ends of the trenches, and some Japanese soldiers had also begun to put on a posture of establishing a defensive line and holding on to their treatment, the staff officers who were curled up in the trenches opened their mouths with difficulty and shouted: "Burst...... Assault! Go on...... Assault! Kill the ....... Those Shina people! ”

Stumbling to the side of the staff officer, the Japanese lieutenant, who was also blue from the cold, grabbed the staff officer's arm without hesitation: "Your Excellency, you can't carry out a surprise attack!" Being able to capture the first line of trenches is already a very fluke thing! With the only remaining troops, if you can't stabilize the defensive line you just occupied, I'm afraid that this surprise attack that has already been won will have to be discarded in vain! ”

"Could it be...... Is it all there is to it? ”

Nodding heavily, the Japanese lieutenant whispered in the ear of the frozen staff officer, "We must return to our position as soon as possible, let ...... The commander of the camp mobilized reinforcements to help us secure the newly arrived defensive line, and also found a way to transport some clothing to protect the samurai from the cold! ”

"Can't you light a bonfire? It's really ...... It's too cold....... Even in the winter in my hometown, I never felt ......"

Halfway through his words, the staff officer's head was already slumped. Stretching out his hand to touch the cold heart of the staff officer, the Japanese lieutenant couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then shouted to a Japanese veteran squatting beside him: "Return to the main camp and report to His Excellency Yukikushitaro, we have occupied the first line of defense of the Shina people, and I beg you to send reinforcements to strengthen the defense line immediately!" Again...... Inform His Excellency Yukikutaro that his lieutenant has ....... The jade is broken! ”
