Outside the Yamaguchi defensive position, Nishimura held a telescope in his hand, carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

The Japanese army attacked very fiercely, and this time the Nishimura Brigade was dispatched with the mentality of the 424th Regiment. All light and heavy weapons, including infantry artillery, were put into battle. Each bombardment of infantry artillery raised a cubic of earth and rock. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese troops of the Nishimura brigade organized round after round of onslaught.

Cha Wanji has been standing beside Nishimura, paying attention to the other party's expression, and from the corners of Nishimura's slightly raised mouth, Che Wanji can see that the other party seems to be in a good mood.

"Your Excellency, it seems that this time our victory is certain, and it should be a matter of time before the rabble of the powerful imperial army is completely annihilated."

Che Wanji is a smart man, he knows how to speak very well, he doesn't understand military affairs, but from the situation on the battlefield at the moment and Nishimura's expression, he can feel that the Japanese army has an advantage at this moment, so he added this flattery in time.

"No, Che Sang's words are wrong."

However, instead of accepting the flattery, Nishimura lowered his binoculars and raised his white-gloved hand.

"I am glad that Cha Sang has confidence in our imperial army, but you are wrong about one thing, this team is definitely not a rabble. This can be seen in their fortifications. This type of fortification gradually extends from the mountain pass in front, and as the height of the mountain gradually decreases, the fortifications also divide into several levels of fortifications with a sense of hierarchy. Moreover, the fortifications at all levels are also interconnected, and the firepower allocation is also very reasonable.

The design principle of this fortification comes from a very clever fortification called a ring fortification. The opponent's use of this kind of ring fortification is not only conducive to defense, but also can easily be divided and evacuated, so as not to completely rout.

The commander of the opposing side was very thoughtful, and it could be seen from the construction of the fortifications alone that they were not a rabble. I have to admit that today's battle has made me feel a little different about this team. Different from the previous battle in Liudian, in that battle, they were completely a group of cowards who only knew how to shoot black guns. Alas, it's a pity, this kind of scene should really be seen by Nishio-kun......"

Listening to Nishimura's emotion, Che Wanji's heart was stunned at that time, he was afraid that his previous horse's ass would be slapped on the horse's leg.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean......"

Looking at the cautious Che Wanji, Nishimura just laughed at that time.

"Calm, Che Sang, I don't mean anything else. In the midst of this war, one or two small bright spots of the Chinese are meaningless. No matter how good their tactics are, they can't hide the shortcomings of their weak men and backward weapons, don't you see that their positions are being lost little by little? ”

Speaking of which, Nishimura suddenly seemed to be in a big way, and proudly joked with Cha Wanji.

"Che Sang, have you ever eaten an onion?"

Cha Wanji was stunned at the time, and he didn't understand why Nishimura asked like this, there seemed to be no inevitable connection between the war and onions, but he still answered honestly.

"Yes, I knew about this vegetable when I was studying in Japan, but I didn't have it in Shanxi."

"Really......"

Nishimura's expression suddenly became unfathomable.

"Che Sang, you know what, peeling onions is a very interesting process. Unlike other vegetables, it is very laborious to peel onions by hand, and the process of peeling them will have a very pungent smell, and you will cry when you choke on it. But as soon as you peel the onion and put it in the pot to cook, it becomes delicious.

The Eighth Route Army in front of us is a stubborn onion, which seems to be difficult to peel, but it is just an onion after all, and the ending can only become our meal. Haha......"

"That's what it means, it's really funny."

Cha Wan Jiqiang smiled and cooperated with Nishimura, to be honest, he didn't actually feel that Nishimura's joke was funny.

……

Nishimura and Che Manji were talking and laughing in the rear of the Japanese army, but the soldiers of the first battalion felt the strong pressure of the Japanese army.

Despite the fact that only four infantry guns were firing at the same time, it was also a great threat to the 424th Regiment, which lacked heavy weapons. A 70mm caliber infantry gun can blast a small section of fortifications open with a single shot, and although a cat's ear hole can save the soldiers from danger, it still costs time to repair the fortifications.

It was not only the Japanese artillery fire that put pressure on the first battalion, but also the rapid Japanese charge from the positions outside the trenches.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ……”

A fighter who had fired three shots in a row, but still did not hit a single enemy. The speed of the Japanese charge was very fast, at least this soldier could swear, he could rarely see such a fast person, and the Japanese side wished that everyone was a Scud, not to mention that they were not tall, but the two short legs were upside down fast, giving this soldier a very absurd feeling, as if a pile of potatoes was rolling down the hill at a rapid pace.

"Smack!"

It was the fighter's squad leader who fired the shot, and this was the second shot fired by the squad leader, and he successfully hit the enemy with both shots.

"Squad leader, how did you do that? Why can't I be sure? ”

As a result, his question was exchanged for the squad leader's choking.

"You rookie bastard! Don't! It's a battle! ”

The choked warrior was aggrieved at that time, and he did not dare to speak. It's not a gun in your hand, and it's not a shot. The squad leader swept down the little soldier's face and scolded fiercely, his eyes still distracted while aiming, explaining to him.

"You're a dad! I'm telling you! The little devils ran fast, and the gasping kung fu you aimed at them ran forward again, how could you hit! And some of the little devils are thieves, and they are flashing from side to side while charging. You pick the stupid one who only knows how to run in a straight line, and you can hit it by aiming one step in front of him! ”

The squad leader's tone was very bad, but he did pass on his experience to the little soldier. The little soldier aimed and shot according to what the squad leader said.

"Smack!"

The shot hit a Japanese soldier in the chest, and the Japanese soldier who was hit was hit by a blow and fell to the ground on his back.

"That's what happened!"

The little warrior immediately smiled, but soon he had doubts again.

"Squad leader, why did you say that the little devil ran so fast? I can't even run that fast if I want to. ”

Originally, he hit a person, and the squad leader was quite happy, but his face collapsed again when he heard so many questions about him. Pulling the trigger again, firing a bullet, he didn't get angry.

"Are you stupid when I say you're a spirit? Have you ever eaten the canned food of the little devil?! ”

"Hmm."

The little soldier nodded heavily, he had eaten the little devil's canned food, except that the taste was too light, it was really good, and he could eat real pieces of meat in it.

"Isn't that enough, these little devils eat this thing every day, can their physique be bad? Don't look at their small size, their strength is no worse than ours! Submit! ”

In the middle of the squad leader's words, he immediately shouted loudly, grabbed the little soldier's clothes and pulled him into the cat's ear hole in the trench. Then they felt a loud tremor above their heads, and a pile of dirt fell on their heads. Exactly the mortar of the devils.

Dusting off the dirt on their heads, the squad leader and the little soldier poked their heads out of the trench and found that the Japanese had already charged forward a long distance. The Japanese troops closest to the fortifications were already less than five meters!

"The devil is coming up, get ready to fight the bayonet."

The squad leader muttered quietly, he knew that after the enemy reached this distance, it meant that hand-to-hand combat was necessary!

Onboard !!

The little devil shouted slogans in his mouth, his sturdy calves slammed on the ground, and rushed to the fortifications with his bayonet.

"Come on! Little devil! Eh, you kid is behind me! ”

The squad leader stared at the Japanese soldier who rushed to the front, and without hesitation, he took out a bayonet from the leather sheath on his waist and pressed it on the gun, ready to fight the bayonet with the devil at any time. The little soldier was a little confused, but he also followed the bayonet in a daze, today was his first time on the battlefield, and the tension in his heart made him not fast enough to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield.

"Qiang !!"

The squad leader jumped out of the trench first, he did not give the Japanese a chance to rush into the trench, if the little devil rushed to the edge of the trench first, condescendingly attacked them, it would be a big loss, the squad leader is a veteran who survived the two white-knuckle battles, naturally he can understand these truths.

"Squad leader!"

Seeing that the squad leader jumped out first and had already exchanged with the enemy, the little soldier's brain was instantly filled with a sense of anger, and he jumped out of the battle together.

"Boom! Boom! ”

The little ghost's stabbing technique is very strong, there are not too many unnecessary movements of opening and closing, and the distance between the left and right strokes of the bayonet will not exceed one meter, and it is always a trend of stabbing forward to give the opponent a fatal blow. The little soldier stood behind the squad leader, and a trace of timidity unconsciously rose in his heart, and he felt that if he stood in front of the devil, he would definitely not be able to hold on to a face. The squad leader was much calmer, and the gun in his hand followed the devil left and right, knocking away the bayonet that the devil stabbed at him.

"Don't stand stupid! Do it! ”

The squad leader's anxious palms were full of sweat, this little devil's bayonet was dangling back and forth in front of his eyes, the other party's knife was longer than him, and he was smaller than him, if it was one-on-one, he knew that he was definitely not an opponent!

"Ah......h

The little soldier agreed blankly, not knowing where to stab the bayonet in his hand.

"Give me a straight stab! Do it! ”

The squad leader once again unleashed the opponent's bayonet, eager to slash his throat out.

"Ah!!h

The little soldier's mind was blank, listening to the squad leader's shout, the bayonet in his hand subconsciously passed through the gap under the squad leader's ribs, and his strength was not controlled, and he took the whole person out from under the squad leader's ribs.

"Poof......

With a knife blade into the flesh, the little soldier was stunned, looking at the Japanese soldier with the same blank expression, the little soldier pulled out his bayonet.

A stream of hot blood poured out and splashed on the little soldier's face, and his eyes snapped shut.

"That's good, you're really a kid."

The squad leader's face was a little pale, and at that moment just now, he thought that he and this kid had to be here.

"Liu Hua'er, what are you still doing here? Come back! We're retreating! ”

At this moment, the platoon commander suddenly ran over and called the squad leader's name. At this time, the squad leader looked around and found that more and more Japanese troops had rushed over. didn't bother to ask other questions, Liu Huaer's squad leader grabbed the little soldier with one hand and followed the platoon commander to withdraw to the position.

The first layer of fortifications, lost.
