Chapter 32: Battlefield Jungle (8)

Sen Kejiu climbed up with 400 soldiers panting, seeing the top, before he had time to be happy, dozens of machine guns came into his eyes, and before they could be reflected, bullets rained down on their bodies, and the dense formation made the myth of machine guns a reality.

The powerful bullet can penetrate the chest of the front-row marines and enter the hearts of those behind, and the bullets rain down, and the corpses continue to roll down, bringing down pieces of living comrades.

"Baga, hiss......, help......"

The Marines screamed and rolled down, waiting for them to be an unfilled trench or an armored vehicle on a half-slope, and even if they did not die, they would fall into a daze, and they would not think of charging with guns again for half a day.

After a round of bullet rain, the rolling log rolled down like thunder, running over the lying rotten snake soldiers, taking away groups of standing, all the way sprinkled with blood, bright red, beautiful and refreshing.

Qiu Yan saw that there were still many enemies lying on the slope, so he hurriedly suggested to Liu Anmin: "Yingzao, you see that there are still a lot of snake cubs that have not fallen, do you want to rush with oil?"

Liu Anmin leisurely spit out the smoke ring: "Then rush it, the smell of the barbecue in Sanying yesterday, we also have to show our hands!"

"Please rest assured, we use authentic fish fat oil, and the roasted snake cubs are definitely more fragrant than the gasoline roast, why don't you get a piece to taste?"

"you, mother, go pour the oil, the snake cub will fire again in a while."

"Haha, just look at it. Brethren, let's start pouring oil, let's fry the snake cubs! ”

The officers and soldiers of the company laughed, poured down buckets of grease like water, and poured the devil lying on his stomach all over his body, and the dazzling torches drew a beautiful arc in the air.

He opened his mouth wide and looked up at the sky, his eyes revealing the splendor of cherry blossoms, everything was about to end, and his soul could find its way home.

The marines, covered in flames, screamed and rolled down, and the faint smell of meat gradually spread, attracting a flock of cheerful crows, yesterday's feast made them have an appetite, why was today's meal prepared so early?

How can their small appetite accommodate too much deliciousness? If they could talk, they would ask, "Hey, man, can we pack it and take it home?"

Seeing that there was no enemy stranded on the slope, Liu Anmin immediately shouted: "Brothers, the snake cubs are about to open fire, except for the observation post and the necessary operators, the rest are evacuated from the tunnel, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

With a roar in unison, the officers and men of the first company were as nimble as earth rats, quickly burrowing into the tunnels and quickly crawling away from the position. The civil tunnels were not enough to protect them, and in order to reduce casualties, they had to evacuate like rats, and some people may ask, why not run away in the open?

This is because the Rotten Snake Army not only sends planes to reconnoitre, but also uses hot air balloons to observe remotely, so in order not to expose the location of the barracks, they can only retreat secretly.

In one charge, more than 400 marines were lost in half, and most of the more than 200 people who were alive were wounded, which made Nomura Yoshiro not angry and not frightened.

"Who is commanding on the other side, such a superb command art is really breathtaking, but it's a pity that no matter how powerful he is, it is difficult to resist the torrent of artillery fire, order the field artillery to cover the earthen fortress position, the 1st Squadron of the 4th Brigade charge under the cover of artillery fire, don't give the Yanlong army a chance to breathe, take the position in one fell swoop, and avenge the Jade Broken Warriors!"

"Hey."

In view of Mori Kojiu's experience in the fiasco, Lieutenant Yoshitoyo Viceshima cleverly used the straggler charge formation, and his soldiers lined up as long as the defensive line was, and more than 200 people lined up in a very long and scattered, and very thin formation, so that it was indeed possible to prevent large-scale machine gun casualties.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the squadron of the sub-island climbed the earthen rampart, at this time the smoke was billowing out, and it was impossible to see the situation under their feet clearly, and a tragic thing happened, and more than 200 people felt that their feet were empty, and they fell into the flap trap like dumplings.

The deep ravines were full of sharpened stakes, dense enough that the prey could not be spared, and the screams were earth-shattering, and the music of death was sung, and the hearts of a dozen of the lucky ones trembled, and they were stunned, stupid, and dazed.

A squadron of more than 200 people, not even the shadow of the enemy, and in an instant, there were only a dozen of them left, could it be that their enemy was the devil? Frightened, they gathered together in search of spiritual comfort, but this move attracted the favor of death.

"Da Da ......"

Several soldiers of the Iron Brigade came out of the fortifications and sent all the marines in the group into the arms of death with light machine guns.

When the squadron of Soejima boarded the earthen fortress, Nomura Kichizaburo rushed to the bottom of the steep slope, waiting for the signal of Yoshitoyo Sooshima, he wanted to go up to see how this position was built in person, so as to figure out the secret of the Yanlong Army's ability to survive in such a fierce artillery fire?

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Nomura Kichizaburo first heard a heart-rending scream, and then heard a violent gunshot, and finally only saw a few corpses that had been beaten into a sieve and rolled down.

"Bagaya Road, order the field artillery troops, cover the position again with incendiary bombs, I will burn all the Yanlong pigs to death!"

The rotten snake cannon quickly became powerful, and the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Brigade saw that they were flying with incendiary bombs, so they could only quickly evacuate into the tunnel, and they were lucky to successfully escape and return unharmed.

The earthen fortification position became a sea of fire again, this time it was slightly different from the last time, there were more dull screams, and when the officers and soldiers left behind withdrew, the flap switch was turned off again, and the burning of the soil surface made the dying snake cub even more uncomfortable. They screamed with all their strength, but because of the blocking of the flap, the screams became a little dull, and it sounded like a magic sound from hell, which made people feel even more chilling.

Nomura Kichizaburo was shocked, but found that his subordinates were trembling, and the aura of fear was spreading, so he hurriedly ordered all the marines to withdraw to the Gongda Yarn Factory to rest. Listening to the miserable screams in a thick snake accent, too much grievance, he was so angry that he lost his mind, and even ordered the artillery to blow up the earthen ramparts.

Shigeta Shigeta learned that the attack on the front line was not going well, and hurriedly rushed to the Gongda Yarn Factory with a brigade, and when he heard the constant whistling of artillery shells, he couldn't help but feel strange, and hurriedly visited Nomura Kichizaburo.

"Your Excellency, Commander, why do you still carry out artillery bombardment if you don't plan to attack at this time?"

"Hmph, I'm going to collapse the earthen fortress position and avenge the jade shattered imperial warriors, the hateful Yanlong Pig has built the position so steeply that the imperial armored vehicles are useless, it's really hateful, all of them are dead."

"Ah, Your Excellency, is the artillery attacking the slope?"

"Well, the cunning Yandyu people have built strong underground fortifications on the earthen ramparts, and are not afraid of our artillery fire, perhaps attacking the slope will destroy the position on which they depend."

"Your Excellency, I beg you to order the cessation of the shelling at once, for if the slope is destroyed, our attack will be even more difficult."

"Nani, what does the quality of the slope have to do with us? If we can collapse the earthen fortifications, our combat mission will be accomplished, and in order to fight for this position, we have sacrificed thousands of brave men, and it is not suitable for us to attack again with our troops. ”

"Alas, the earthen fortifications are rammed, and they are no less solid than reinforced concrete structures, and the imperial shells can only flatten the earthen ramparts layer by layer, but they cannot collapse. When the slope is complete, we still have the road to attack directly, if the slope is no longer complete, our attack must be completed by ladders, the positional battle has become a siege battle, and our losses will be even heavier, please order to stop the shelling immediately! ”

Nomura Kichizaburo suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the shelling to stop, but the slope had become a ravine, and he could no longer attack directly, which made him chagrined.

"Shimada-kun, now that the slope is destroyed, what should we do?"

"Huh? Your Excellency, we can use a feint of small forces to lure the Yanlong army into position from the fortifications, and then, with aircraft, to kill and wound their living forces in a large area.

In addition, the precision strike of the howitzer was used to cover the attack of the large army, so that the earthen fortress position could be successfully captured, the Yanlong defenders could be completely encircled, and Huating City was occupied in one fell swoop. ”

"Yo Xi, Shimada-kun, with your talents, even in the army, you are an excellent commander, if you win this battle, I will report to the base camp to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, the Great Rotten Snake Empire is invincible and invincible."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi happily adjusted the combat deployment, and for a while the Rotten Snake Army was busy, building ladders, selecting death squads, and hauling heavy howitzers. All this was seen by Zhang Wenhui, who was hiding underground, although he couldn't guess the enemy's true intentions, but he also understood that this move would be unfavorable to the earthen fortress, and he hurriedly reported the situation to the brigade headquarters to ask for an attack.

After Liu Yi got the report, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Our Nomura General has become smarter, and he has taken our lifeline all of a sudden, and this battle is not easy to fight."

"Brigade, the snake cub is nothing more than those axes, what other tricks can he play?"

"Brother Sun, the Rotten Snake Army has destroyed the slope and increased the difficulty of the attack, and it will not be stupid enough to use a ladder to attack, it will definitely use a death squad to lure our troops to attack, and then send planes to fight, or drop bombs or strafe with machine guns, to kill and injure our living forces in a large area, and the howitzer and the ladder soldiers will attack just nothing."

"Airplanes? Alas, I want to be a great Yanlong, rich in natural resources, originally a rich and powerful country, but now ....... Brigade seat, please give an order, we are soldiers of the Iron and Blood Brigade, even if there is only one person left in the end, we must hold the earthen fortress and not let the Rotten Snake Army move forward! ”

"Haha, it's not my style to fight to the death, immediately use the underground passage, order the second battalion to plant explosives, prepare to destroy the earthen fortress position, and be beaten for a few days, it's time for us to make a move!"

"Brigade, you ......, don't you keep it?"

"Shou? Well, you have to guard it, Brother Sun, immediately order each battalion to select daredevils, and let's also lure and destroy snake cubs! ”
