On the edge of the Chi River, the battle between the 517th Brigade and the little devils has reached the point of being on the same footing.

The little devil received a death order from the commander of the wing, Takada Keiji, that in today's battle, he must cross the Chihe River and annihilate the officers and soldiers of Shina who were guarding the other side of the river.

Therefore, today's little devil is unusually ferocious, the troops are divided into three routes, and under the cover of artillery fire, everyone rushes towards the north bank of the Chi River without their lives.

At first, the little devils also recruited some small fishing boats, but after three days of fierce fighting, these small fishing boats had already been wiped out under the powerful fire of the 517 Brigade.

However, today, the little devils are almost crazy, and the cold winter and the cold water of the pond and river can't stop their footsteps and determination at all.

Although the tanks could not cross the river, they were all driven to the edge of the Chihe River by the little devils, not only as their bunkers, but also aimed at the positions of the 517 Brigade on the north bank of the Chihe River, and constantly launched fierce flat fire shelling at them.

On the north bank of the Chihe River, the 517th Brigade dug a deep and long trench dozens of meters away from the edge of the Chihe River, and large sandbags were placed on the trenches.

The Chihe River is not wide, the narrowest part is only thirty or forty meters, and the widest part is only 100 meters.

The water in the pond is not deep, the average is no more than waist-high, and the deepest is no more than a zhang.

However, it is such a small river that is neither wide nor deep, but it has become a moat in front of the little devils, no matter how fierce and desperate they are, they can never cross half a step.

For three days, the little devils launched a charge again and again, but each time they were routed by the 517 Brigade on the edge of the Chi River.

The closest to the opposite bank was only to the center of the river.

The water of the pond has long been stained red with blood, especially on the south bank; There were also corpses floating in the Chi River, but these were all little devils, because the 517 Brigade was only guarding the north bank of the Chi River and did not enter the water.

For three days, the little devil kept changing his offensive position on the south bank of the Chi River, trying to use this to tear a hole.

But every time, the 517 Brigade discovered it in time, and formed a fierce line of fire, forcing the little devils to repel again and again.

In the past three days, the casualties of the little devils have already exceeded 1,000, and many of them died on the river beach when they charged.

There are also some little devils who died in the Chihe River, and a small number of little devils died under the fire of the 517 Brigade.

However, the casualties on the side of the 517 Brigade were equally heavy, even as a defender, even if they hid behind strong fortifications, the casualties of the 517 Brigade were not at all smaller than those of the little devils.

Because the firepower of the little devils was too strong, most of the officers and men of the 517 Brigade died under the almost carpet bombardment of the little devils again and again.

Not only that, but the little devil's marksmanship is also much stronger than that of the officers and soldiers of the 517 Brigade.

During the charge, the little devil also lay on the south bank of the Chi River and fired at the 517 Brigade, even if the little devil did not build a decent fortification, at most he just lay on the ground or hid behind the tank.

But that's it, in this link, the casualties of the little devils are also smaller than those of the 517 brigade.

If it weren't for the little devils who launched one charge after another in order to cross the river, the little devils would not have suffered many casualties at all.

If the little devil just hid on the south bank of the Chi River and started a positional battle with the 517 Brigade, I am afraid that the 517 Brigade would have been defeated long ago.

The reason why the little devils launched a strong attack was because of self-confidence, confident that with their powerful firepower, they could easily crush the defense line of the 517 Brigade.

Even in the eyes of the little devils, they didn't take the 517 Brigade or even any army in China into account at all.

Because in their opinion, as soon as the Chinese army hears their guns, they will flee.

This time, however, the little devils paid a terrible price for their arrogance.

Because the tenacity of the 517 Brigade was somewhat beyond their imagination, it was not like the Chinese officers and soldiers they had met before, who were scared to the bottom when they saw them.

Instead, he gave them a head-on blow with a tougher posture and put them in a dilemma.

Especially later, after one strong attack after another, the little devils have realized their strategic mistakes, but by that time, they are already ready to send arrows.

Even if they knew that there was a cliff ahead, they could only choose to jump off, because as the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire, dignity was the most important!

If they do not break through with a tough posture and completely annihilate the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army on the other side, then how can they save the face of the Imperial Japanese Army?

Yes, the angry Takada Huiji directly issued this crazy order today, and the little devils under him were carrying it out frantically.

As soon as a group of little devils rushed to the beach of the Chihe River, they were hit into a hornet's nest by bullets fired by the officers and soldiers of the 517 Brigade on the opposite bank, but these little devils ignored this.

As long as the bullet does not hit them, they will continue to charge forward, and while charging, they will also pull the trigger from time to time to return fire.

And the little devils in the back also followed closely, and under the cover of artillery fire in the rear, they went out desperately.

The little devils who rushed to the front had already rushed to the edge of the pond river, and there was almost no hesitation, and these little devils stepped directly into the pond river.

The icy and biting water of the Chihe River was directly ignored by these little devils, because they had only one thought in their minds, that is, to rush to the opposite side and annihilate the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river.

A small group of a dozen little devils had already rushed to the center of the Chi River, where the river was not deep, almost only to the base of the thigh.

Seeing that they had not been noticed by the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river, the eyes of these little devils were full of fierceness, and their faces exuded a fierce look.

With a strange scream, he raised his gun and sped up.

And in order not to attract attention, these little devils simply did not fire, but just rushed forward.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da ......"

Just when they were less than ten meters away from the north bank of the Chi River, and they were about to step on the river bank, a light machine gun on the front position suddenly turned its muzzle and launched a ferocious attack on them.

The heavy machine gun bullets rained down on these little devils, beating them into a hornet's nest almost instantly, and then falling heavily on the shallows of the Chihe River, splashing one after another.

And more bullets hit the water in the pond river, which was also a splash.

In an instant, the north bank of the Chi River was also stained red with blood.

The little devils who were still rejoicing in the small group just now died, all of them died, but before they died, the expressions on their faces were particularly wonderful.

There was anger, because they were not reconciled, and it was clear that the river bank was in front of them, and it would only take two seconds at most for them to step up.

But more often than not, they regretted it, because they thought that it was the enemy's intention, and they should have opened fire as soon as possible, instead of planning to attack.

In that case, even if they are equally dead, they can at least take a few enemies away.

But now, it's too late to say anything......
