The 1st Infantry sneaked up on the 823rd Infantry Regiment's position.

Two battalions of the 823rd Infantry Regiment were stationed here, and they used trenches, barbed wire, and mines to repel attacks by opposing Japanese troops on several occasions...... As said before, the most troublesome thing against the Japanese troops was not the tanks, but the infantry.

In fact, those who drive tanks are the real American military...... The Japanese soldiers had only been trained for three months before entering the battlefield, and they were not yet able to drive tanks, and they were more likely to fight with American tanks.

But it's really impossible to say who cooperates.

For example, nowadays, tanks are more likely to accompany infantry attacks in the rear or provide fire cover rather than the main attack.

This is also the reason why the corpses of Japanese soldiers in American uniforms and German soldiers wounded by bayonets can be seen everywhere in the German trenches.

When Qin Chuan and the others couldn't help anything, because they didn't come to rescue the wounded but to participate in the battle.

The fact that the Germans were able to hold out in such a battle is proof that they are a well-trained force.

But even so, the Germans were frightened.

This could be seen from the consternation on their faces and the surprise when they saw Qin Chuan and the others enter the trenches.

The battalion commander was a captain named Leohard, and when he saw Qin Chuan and the others, he rejoiced: "It's great that you guys can come, we can't hold it anymore, they (referring to the Japanese American military) are like crazy!" ”

"Tell me!" Colonel Slane said, "I want to know more!" ”

"I don't know what to say!" Captain Leohard replied: "These do not seem strange on the battlefield, bayonets, grenades, explosive packs...... But they would rush into our trenches with explosives packets, and their stabbing skills were surprisingly good, and Major Affleck died under their bayonets! ”

Major Affleck was the commander of the 1st Battalion, and it was only after his death that Leohard took his place.

Colonel Slane glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "It's a difficult opponent!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

"That's the defense line of the 2nd Battalion over there!" Leohard raised his head to the east.

Qin Chuan poked his head out slightly to take a look, and saw that there was a downward slope at the end of the trench...... The slope was obviously the dividing line between the 1st and 2nd battalions' defensive lines, which also gave the 1st battalion a bit of a geographical advantage.

As he spoke, several shells came crashing down from the opposite side with a whistling sound.

"They're coming!" Captain Leohard said: "They are already attacking for the fifth time!" ”

"Don't worry, Captain!" Colonel Slane said, "This will be their last attack!" ”

"When are you coming up?" Captain Leohard asked nervously.

"We're right behind you!" Colonel Slein said, "When the time comes, we'll launch a counter-attack, and you just have to stay where you are, understand?" ”

"Understood, Colonel!"

"And!" Colonel Slane said, "Say to your men, don't turn your guns on us!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After saying that, Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan returned to the second line of defense along the communication trench, and then said to the soldiers lurking in the trench: "Take a good look at your enemies, they will be our opponents in the near future!" ”

Qin Chuan poked his head out of the trench and observed the Japanese soldiers charging on the opposite side from the sniper scope.

Sure enough, as they said, the Japanese soldiers were charging the enemy ahead of the tanks, rather than hiding behind the tanks like other American troops.

In particular, these Japanese soldiers also liked to decorate their helmets with branches and weeds, which could be said to be a kind of camouflage.

Perhaps trained by American instructors, they would not rush in the direction of the enemy with bayonets in their hands, as the Japanese did. They advance forward in groups of several people under fire cover for each other, and then use tracer bullets to indicate targets for tanks in the rear, jumping up from hiding places and killing the enemy trenches at every opportunity.

A sound of explosions, mixed with dense gunshots like bursting beans, coupled with all kinds of shouts and screams, a cruel battlefield was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that a considerable part of the German army was equipped with STG44s at this time, the German defense line would have been broken through by this Japanese army long ago. (Note: At this time, the production of STG44 could not be equipped by the whole army, so many troops were still mixed with K98K and STG44)

Qin Chuan and the others did not move, and all of them were lying low in the trenches or lurking in the grass behind them, even if a few shells occasionally smashed nearby.

They are waiting for orders, waiting for the moment when they can strike.

It didn't take long for the situation on the battlefield to change...... As planned, the 2nd Battalion pretended to be unable to withstand such an attack and began to fight and retreat.

Although the Japanese-American troops fought bravely, they did not find out that this was a trap because they lacked battlefield experience after all...... So without hesitation, he plunged into this gap.

In fact, what Qin Chuan didn't know was that there was another reason why the Japanese American military was so easy to step into the trap: to save people's hearts.

This is not only unthinkable by Qin Chuan, but also by the US military.

Because this Japanese-American unit is usually discriminated against and wary of in the U.S. military...... Because Japanese soldiers are generally short in stature, the US military calls them "Groundhog Troops," and the US military has also installed American officers in this Japanese American unit in case this unit will engage in any small actions that are unfavorable to the United States.

Even sending this unit to fight in France had a deep meaning, because in this way, the Japanese army would not be able to contact the Japanese army, let alone surrender to the Japanese army.

Therefore, the U.S. military took it for granted that these "groundhogs" were symbolically launching an attack, and then returned to the division to report that the mission had failed, so not many people had much hope for this.

But that's not how the Japanese troops think...... They saw it as an opportunity to show their loyalty to their superiors, to their commanders, and to the United States as a whole, and they had to bring them back.

In fact, in history, they successfully rescued the besieged American troops in this battle.

In the words of Colonel Takada, the commander of the Japanese-American army, they almost saved an American with three lives.

Because most of the besieged U.S. troops were Texans, the Japanese-American 442nd Regiment was called the "Savior of Texas."

After the war, Texas also declared that every Japanese-American soldier of the 442nd Regiment was an honorary citizen of Texas.

Of course, their relatives in the camps were also released one after another.

It can be said that the Japanese soldiers of the 442nd Regiment successfully won their dignity and freedom in the United States, as well as their loved ones.
