Out of contempt for the Americans, after being hit by enemy fire, Kojiro Uchiyama did not give the order to retreat, nor did he report the situation to the coalition headquarters at the first time.

The Japanese soldiers on the front line were tragic, as the vanguard troops, they were lightly armed, and heavy firepower naturally did not exist, and using ordinary field artillery to bombard the enemy was completely looking for death!

There was no way, so everyone could only pretend to be cowardly, hiding in the anti-artillery hole and not daring to take the lead.

The Japanese deserve to be unlucky, the anti-artillery offensive they built is still carried out according to the standards of the Russo-Japanese War, and the firepower used to defend against the Americans is naturally not qualified!

Once a direct hit, often a platoon of soldiers will be reimbursed. The Japanese officers were also mechanical enough, and after getting the order, they were really waiting for dark, and the bombing of the Americans was directly ignored by them!

It was not yet dark, and the enemy had already rushed up, and it was also dark! The main force of the American army, composed of Uncle Black, rushed to the Japanese position in the shortest possible time.

The Japanese defenders not only did not worry, but showed an expression of victory and hope, do not look at their short stature, the enemy is tall and big, but when it comes to fighting bayonets, they can proudly say that the Japanese army is the boss of the world's white-knuckle warfare!

At the same time as the battle was going on, the U.S. military was also beginning to outflank this Japanese army, after all, it was a local battle, and they still had a lot of advantages, and under the cover of the war, this pocket formation was constantly tightening.

The most brutal hand-to-hand encounter happened, and the same attitude of the Japanese commander who didn't care about the soldier's life, the American commander didn't care much about Uncle Black's life, and then the two sides began to fight hard!

Everyone thinks that they have taken advantage, the Japanese think that they are the best in the world in white-knuckle warfare, and the Americans also think that they can deal with the Japanese dwarfs one against three, and the consequences of wrong perceptions are often serious.

In a one-on-one frontal battle, the Japanese soldiers undoubtedly suffered in terms of physical strength, but when three or five soldiers competed together, it was the Japanese army that had the advantage!

However, this advantage did not last long, and the Japanese immediately learned the power of the crowd tactics, and in the face of a steady stream of black uncles rushing up, they quickly couldn't parry!

The white-knuckle battle was still the side with more people taking advantage, repelling a wave of enemies, and another wave of enemies came, and the number of Japanese troops on the front line was naturally unable to resist.

The commander of the 3rd Wing of the Japanese 7th Division, Koizumi Murashita, noticed that something was wrong, there were too many enemies on Nima's flank, and he picked up the binoculars and saw a black patch!

He rubbed his eyes as if he had seen something incredible, the charge of the black uncles was too strong, and it looked very imposing!

He reacted immediately and roared angrily: "Guard, pass me on the order to all troops to prepare for battle, the enemy has rushed up, and the defense line on our flank has been lost!"

Yamada-kun immediately sent a telegram to the division headquarters, the No. 4 position has been lost, and we are fighting fiercely with the enemy in the No. 2 position, asking for reinforcements! ”

At the same time, in his heart, he had already greeted Tu Feiyuan, who was responsible for defending the No. 4 position, and the whole family had greeted him, even if he couldn't hold the position, how could he say it?

It's always okay to send a telegram asking for help, right? Just lost his position without saying a word, isn't he a pit man?

Obviously, this is because he has wronged the soil, and the people have decisively hung up in the artillery fire of the Americans, and by the way, he has been served with his headquarters.

Before the Japanese soldiers on the front line could react, the enemy rushed up again, and out of instinctive reaction, they had a PK with the black uncles, and finally gloriously hit the street!

This is also a communication problem for the Japanese army, between the two adjacent positions, there is a lack of necessary communication, and even they don't care about each other, so that the positions next door are lost, and they only find out!

This is not an isolated case, Koizumi Murashita was still lucky, he also sent a telegram asking for help, and the Japanese positions that the Americans were taking care of were now either hand-to-hand or had already hit the streets.

The telegram was typed up layer by layer, and finally in the hands of Kojiro Uchiyama, he couldn't believe his eyes, is this still the heroic Japanese Army?

It's only been a daytime, it's still two hours before dark, and there are telegrams asking for help everywhere, are the Americans so powerful?

After thinking about it, Uchiyama Kojiro still recruited the herald and said: "Pass my order, hereby order: the 10th Division quickly reinforces the 7th Division, the 9th Division quickly reinforces the 17th Division, and the 12th Division quickly reinforces the 8th Division!" ”

In any case, let's send reinforcements first. This wave was just that the Americans caught the Japanese off guard, and once the Japanese reacted, it was not so easy!

After a pause, Uchiyama Kojiro ordered again: "Gangmura-kun immediately go and check on what happened to me on the front line?" Why are so many of our troops asking for help! ”

Okamura Ninji immediately replied, "Hi! ”

As night fell, the Americans stopped their attack, and the Japanese army had a chance to breathe, but the encirclement of Pershing was almost complete, and these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were about to become turtles in the urn!

Okamura Ninji walked up to Kojiro Uchiyama and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the situation has been clarified!" ”

Uchiyama Kojiro asked with concern: "Tell me quickly, what happened on the front line?" ”

Okamura Ninji immediately replied: "This morning the US army carried out a fierce artillery attack on our position, and our officers and men on the front line suffered heavy losses. ”

Uchiyama Kojiro frowned and asked with concern: "In today's battle, how many casualties did our troops have?" ”

Okamura Ninji thought for a while and said, "According to preliminary estimates, our casualties today are around 12,000, and two wings are almost completely wiped out!" ”

Uchiyama Kojiro's face sank suddenly, tens of thousands of casualties in one day, which the Japanese army had never experienced, such a large casualty was enough to break the bones of the three divisions on the front line.

……

The casualties of the Japanese army were large, and the casualties of the Americans on the attacking side were naturally indispensable, although they were not as many as the Japanese, but they were about to break 10,000. Even if Pershing doesn't care about the lives of Uncle Black, he has to consider the morale of the troops!

Pershing thought for a while and said, "James, give our magic medicine to the soldiers and give it to them, the casualties today are a bit large, you can take a large dose!" ”

The "miracle drug" was the best-selling product in the world wars, and it made an indelible contribution to boosting morale and increasing the explosiveness of soldiers!

If there is no "miracle drug", perhaps the number of casualties in the world war will drop by a third, which is enough to prove its greatness!

After giving the order, Pershing couldn't help but think of the First World War, where the warring sides moved tens of thousands of casualties every day, and they actually persisted for two and a half years, and this resilience has to be admired!

Then he smiled bitterly again, it seems that this war can be regarded as a real world war! The United States of America single-handedly took on the whole world, and the number of countries involved in this country was simply nothing compared to the war between the Central Powers and the Entente!

Soon he dispelled his cranky thoughts, and now it was better to find a way to kill the enemy in front of him, and only by driving the enemy out of the sea could the United States of America have any hope of existence.

"Guard, tell me that I will hold a staff meeting tomorrow morning!" Pershing shouted

……

At this time, it was already midnight, and the Japanese, who had just suffered a big loss, were naturally unwilling to lose, and the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce during the day, and they had no way to fight back, but at night it was different!

I have to admire the resilience of the Japanese, who suffered heavy casualties during the day, but at night they did not complain, and still chose to carry out the previous orders of General Uchiyama Kojiro.

Then, under the cover of night, the Japanese army slowly moved towards the American position. Tonight's sky is extraordinarily dark, the road is not so easy to walk, some Japanese soldiers accidentally stepped on the bayonets left on the position, blood flowed, they just didn't say a word, gritted their teeth and insisted on staying in place, let their comrades pass!

Fortunately, the American military uniform is not black, otherwise under the cover of night, these elite Japanese soldiers who are responsible for the sneak attack will probably not even be able to find the shadow of the sentry.

After successfully killing a few bright sentinels, they were still exposed, and Uncle Black still had an advantage in the dark night, at least their skin color was the best cover, and ordinary people really couldn't find it!

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as the sound fell, the gunshots rang out, and the Japanese army's sneak attack plan was not completely successful, except for a small group of elite soldiers who touched the camp of the American army, the other troops were still on the road behind!

reacted to the U.S. troops, turned on the lights one by one, and the actions of the Japanese army were completely exposed under their noses, and they had to fight back!

Soon the sound of machine guns and artillery became dense, and the Japanese troops on the way to the charge became a tragedy, and they were in a dilemma for a while!

Since the invention of flares, night attacks have become more and more difficult, and a bad one has become a strong attack, such as the Japanese army at this time!

The elite soldiers of the Japanese army who were the first to touch, although their combat effectiveness was top-notch, it was a pity that their two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands, and now they were collectively finished, and the rest of the soldiers naturally only had one way to attack.

At least before the headquarters orders the withdrawal, they must storm it! And the command system of the Japanese army's machinery, the order to attack was given by Uchiyama Kojiro, and if he wanted to order the withdrawal of troops, naturally only Uchiyama Kojiro or a higher-level Japanese officer could be qualified!

Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the 3rd Wing of the 10th Division, now has to command the troops to attack while reporting the situation to the division and regiment headquarters, and only after the division headquarters has verified it will it be reported to the group army.

This is the system of the Japanese army, and Umezu Mijiro also has to abide by it, the future commander of the Kwantung Army, a Class A war criminal, and now he is only a middle-level officer of the Japanese army, referred to as: senior cannon fodder!

Time passed minute by minute, more than an hour passed, and by the time Uchiyama Kojiro gave the order to retreat, the Japanese army had already paid thousands of casualties!

After receiving the order to retreat, Umezu Mijiro was happy and sad when he was happy for the rest of his life, when a cannonball fell in front of him, and then the future leader of the war of aggression against China hit the street gorgeously!
