The devil's attacking troops already suffered heavy losses, and their morale fell to the extreme.

The soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, who were full of morale, suddenly couldn't support such a counter-assault, and they retreated back in defeat.

Military writ?

Fuck the military order!

They didn't set it up, the brigade commander wants to find it, find their captain!

Yang Chen, Rake Ear, Ouyang Qing and other machine gun wielders fired fiercely at the defeated crowd of devils, and the defeated soldiers of the devils were immediately shot and fell to the ground.

After many devil soldiers fell to the ground, they rolled down the slope directly.

I wasn't killed by bullets, and I all fell to my death in such a roll.

"Death to Lao Tzu!"

Like a marmot, Xu Hailang, who was in an embarrassment, was even more swift and swift as a tiger in the mountains, and chased after the two devil infantry who were slow to escape with a knife.

With a roar of rage, he slashed them to the ground one by one.

One of them was directly cut into two pieces by the neck.

His head had been thrown out, but his legs continued to run forward due to inertia.

He ran out for several more meters, and then he fell headlong and rolled down the mountain.

…………

The picture is pulled down the mountain, and Ishihara Saburo, as the commander of this battle, witnessed his troops being driven down like ducks by the Tiger Ben Regiment, which was less than one percent of his own number.

He couldn't help but be furious, and in a fit of rage, he turned his head and shouted to a staff adjutant behind him: "Order the heavy machine gun squadron, fire at me, and kill them!" ”

The adjutant of staff hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, our army has only launched two attacks, and the preparation is insufficient.

And the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and it is an extremely difficult brigade such as the Tiger Regiment, so it is reasonable that it cannot be attacked.

In this battle, the imperial army had an absolute advantage, and it was only a matter of time before they captured Sunset Ridge and wiped out the Tiger Ben Regiment.

If you can't kill your own people, it's better to give them another chance than let them die under the guns of your own people.

Let them fight to the death with the Chinese army again!

After all, these are veterans of a hundred battles in my Great Japanese Empire! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency General, give them another chance to make amends!

Compared to the performance of other imperial troops, the performance of Koizumi's brigade is already good! ”

Several other adjutants present also followed the persuasion, Ishihara Saburo was also angry just now, and after being persuaded by everyone's kind words, he also understood that there was really no need to make a big fuss.

In this battle, as long as the Tiger Ben Regiment can be destroyed, no matter how heavy the casualties are, even if his brigade and even the entire 28th Division are wiped out, it is worth it.

However, now more than 100,000 Japanese imperial troops are surrounded by a radius of 100 miles.

No matter how tricky Yang Chen is this time, even if the Tiger Ben Group puts on its wings, it will not be able to escape the end of destruction.

In this case, as a qualified commander, especially if your side has already sealed the victory, it is better to win with the least casualties.

Moreover, Japan is not a big country in the first place, and neither its strategic resources nor its military potential can be compared with China.

And this kind of elite imperial army, each of them is the empire spent a lot of money, after strict training, it has the current combat effectiveness, that is one less jade broken, not just catch one person can have such combat effectiveness.

So, after a moment of silence, Ishihara Saburo revoked his order and instead let the artillery open fire, and the attacking troops covering the defeat withdrew.

When Yang Chen saw that the devil's attacking troops were about to retreat to the bottom of the mountain, he promptly ordered to stop the pursuit and led his troops to quickly retreat.

Therefore, the devil's artillery fire seemed to be fierce, but it did not cause any substantial casualties to the Tiger Regiment.

However, then the cunning Ishihara Saburo immediately reported the situation to the division commander Suzuki.

Although Suzuki reprimanded Ishihara Saburo severely, he still agreed to Ishihara Saburo's proposal and ordered the use of tank troops and artillery units to carry out artillery fire on the position of the Tiger Regiment on the mountain.

The most lethal thing is that Suzuki led the old devil to let the artillery unit use poison gas bombs.

Not long after the shelling, the devil's plane also attacked again.

Under the combined attack of the Japanese army's ground-air firepower, the position of the Tiger Regiment completely turned into a sea of fire, and the most fatal thing was that some poison gas bombs were carried from time to time in those artillery fires.

Fortunately, Yang Chen found out early and immediately ordered the soldiers to wear gas masks.

Gas masks have been standard equipment for the Tiger Regiments for a long time, but the puppet captives have not.

Therefore, more than 200 prisoners of the puppet army died tragically one after another under the double blow of diffuse poison gas and fighter plane bombing.

By the time the devil's air raid and bombardment were over, there were less than 30 of the more than 200 puppet army captives who survived before, and the entire Sunset Ridge could be said to be full of corpses and rivers of blood.

Countless plants and trees were destroyed, and rocks were blown into powder.

The trenches that had been dug by the Tiger Regiment were also refilled with dirt and rocks.

On the contrary, outside the trenches, there are dense craters with potholes.

The stumps of the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment and the prisoners of the puppet army were broken and scattered everywhere.

After the bombardment ended, the Sunset Ridge was still filled with thick gunsmoke, obscuring the sight of the devils under the mountain.

Let them not be sure what the situation is on the mountain.

However, Suzuki didn't care so much, and after taking command from Ishihara Saburo, he immediately gave the order to give the order for the third cluster charge to the Tiger Ben Regiment position above Sunset Ridge.

When Yang Chen crawled out of the mound with a dirty face, he found that a large number of devils had swarmed again and rushed to the halfway up the mountain.

He immediately turned his head to look around at the trenches and commanded sharply: "The devil is coming up again, brothers, prepare for battle!" ”

Under his call, Rake Er, Ouyang Qing, Xu Hailang, Sun Cheng and others all climbed up from the mound of soil created by the bombing.

Afterwards, they each called for the warriors around them.

It didn't take long for the soldiers who were still alive to get up from their trenches, enter their positions, raise their guns and start aiming.

At this time, the Tiger Ben Regiment, plus the surviving captives, had less than 700 people left.

For this attack, Suzuki led the way to win, so he invested an infantry wing, nearly 3,000 people to attack at the same time.

Due to the limited terrain of Sunset Ridge, although so many troops could not be deployed all at once, they were divided into three parts, and followed up before and after.

Obviously, he planned to wait for the first dial to be light, and the second dial to follow, and he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Yang Chen saw that his heart was resolute, and he couldn't help but whisper to the subordinates beside him: "Brothers, the time has come to fight to the death!"

We're going to die today, and we're going to pull a few more little devils on our backs, so that the Japanese know that our Tiger Ben Regiment is not easy to mess with! Fire! ”

………………

Brothers, do you still have the masks you bought there???

Lao Wu here, I can't buy a mask...
