'Whoosh ......'

The heavy artillery dragged a long angry sound towards the front, drawing a line of fiery red light in the dark night, firing at night, for the artillerymen, it is equivalent to revealing their position, under normal circumstances, the artillery will avoid firing at night as much as possible.

But now it doesn't matter, anyway, the Japanese army has no artillery, and the warships are not here at all, so there is no need to worry about the danger of exposing positions at all.

The sound of artillery rumbles and the power is earth-shattering, but the actual bombing effect is not very good, one is because it is dark, and the targets of the shooting are marked during the day, and when the order is received at night, it is just according to the coordinates recorded during the day.

Second, because it was dark, even if the dark sentry was arranged to stare at the front, the artillery could not change the coordinates in time, and the distance of five kilometers was still too short for the battle, and even before the dark sentry came and sent a telegram, the Japanese army had already rushed to him, and the sight was blocked at night, so it was impossible to see how many enemies there were in the dark and where the enemy was.

To put it bluntly, this round of shelling was actually for the sake of morale, and there was no expectation that many Japanese troops could be killed at all.

In addition, the Japanese commander is not a fool, the 36th Division suffered such heavy losses during the day, and his own heavy artillery has been exposed, will the enemy commander still use that kind of tactic of sending him to death at this time?

In order to guard against the heavy artillery attack of the 371st Division, the formation of the Japanese raid was relatively scattered, and the strength of the two divisions went around the left side of the 371st Division, and the remaining two divisions and regiments opened the battle line one after the other, so as to widen the distance between the soldiers as much as possible to avoid the threat of heavy artillery to the troops.

However, when they are about a kilometer away from the enemy's position, these skirmish lines will begin to shrink gradually, until the Japanese army rushes into the opponent's position, and then the formation will be completely reduced.

At about 5:20, the eastern horizon gradually turned white, and after a few minutes, a fiery red sun broke through the clouds and rose quietly.

In Japan, the time is an hour earlier than on the mainland, and the summer mornings come very early, and if the weather is good, the sky will be bright before half past five, and war is not child's play, and an officer who can command a campaign is not a fool.

Whether it's the superior or the underdog, if they choose to attack, then their favorite time slot is within an hour before dawn.

Because the attacking troops can take advantage of the darkness before dawn to quietly approach the enemy, and when the day comes, they have already arrived in front of the position, and then suddenly attack, this tactic is even more tried, and it is easy to succeed. And even if it is discovered by the enemy in advance, it is not easy to defend because it is dark, which is still a disadvantage for the defending side.

In a situation where both sides are invisible, it is obviously advantageous for the attacking side, at least the defensive firepower on the offensive route will be weakened a lot, especially for an army like Japan, which is not superior in equipment and firepower, the effect is even more obvious.

After learning the lessons of the previous defeat, the Japanese made a tactical change, although the losses in the face of heavy artillery attacks were still not light, but the losses were much smaller than before the change of tactics.

After attacking one area, the heavy artillery battalion immediately adjusted its target and sent the shells to the next area. At this time, they had no other choice, they had to do it, and the rest had to wait until after dawn to decide. After all, night is not the world of heavy artillery, and the more advanced the troops in this world, the more afraid they are to fight at night.

It was already past the darkest part of the day, but judging from experience, the sky could not be lit up before the Japanese arrived at the position, and if the Japanese army had accelerated on the way, the two sides might have been in contact earlier.

At this time, the line of sight was only less than 50 meters, and it was not very clear to see, and under such conditions, it was not conducive to combat at all.

And to make matters worse, as the sky gradually brightened, it began to fog up. Anyone who has ever been to the beach knows that fog in coastal areas is normal, and even though there were no signs in the previous hour, foggy weather may occur next. However, this is not absolute, as the sun gradually rises, the temperature in the air begins to gradually warm, and May is not particularly hot in Japan, and Hokkaido is the northernmost part of Japan.

One cold and one hot, coupled with a lot of humidity in the air, suddenly a white fog appeared on the battlefield.

The line of sight, which was not very good at all, was now reduced to less than fifty meters in an instant due to the increasing fog.

The 371st Division has encountered this kind of weather situation three times, three times in just ten days, and this frequency is not low. But in the same way, they also know very well that this fog will only last for an hour at most, and if the sun is strong enough, the fog will dissipate if it can't even withstand it for half an hour.

The weather conditions were not conducive to the defense, and although they were prepared, no one expected that there would be a sudden fog.

In the headquarters of the 371st Division, Major General Huang Jianbin also had a sad face, really fucking everything let Lao Tzu meet alone, first let the Japanese army silently increase two divisions, and then suddenly encountered this kind of ghost weather, without warning at all.

If he had known that the fog would be up now, Huang Jianbin would have made another choice, promising to let the Japanese try the feeling of heaven.

"Order the troops, abandon their positions and retreat at full speed." Huang Jianbin shouted loudly to the signal soldiers.

The plan can't catch up with the changes, if it was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the equipment of the troops was not good, Huang Jianbin would still be grateful for such weather, but now, he hates this kind of ghost weather.

Fighting bayonets, the 371st Division is certainly not afraid, but if it really talks about bayonet fighting technology, the three-man tactics of the Chinese army are not weak at all, and the Japanese may not be opponents.

But the current situation is that one of their divisions has to face the strength of four divisions, and they are already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and at this time to fight bayonets can only increase casualties needlessly, and their firepower is not weak, and there is no shortage of ammunition, so there is no need to fight with the Japanese army with bayonets to consume the other side, only the weak want to fight in this way.

No matter how powerful your machine gun is, you can't fight the bayonet the same as before, right? In the battle of bayonets, the machine gun is a chicken rib, the muzzle of the gun cannot even hang the bayonet, and the machine gunner can only passively wait for other soldiers to protect, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

The radios of each battalion were turned on at this time, so each battalion received the order to retreat in less than half a minute after Huang Jianbin made the order to retreat.

"Withdraw! Retreat all! After hearing the sound of the trumpets of the battalion headquarters, Yan Lei immediately gave the order to the whole company to retreat without the slightest hesitation.

The soldiers just want to order and prohibit, not to mention abandoning the positions that have been dug, even if the superiors order them to blow up and sink their warships and blow up their artillery, they will not hesitate to blow them up.

Of course, this premise is that it has been determined that what is to be given up is really worthless, or cannot be taken away, and under normal circumstances, what officer would dare to give such an order? Unless you want to rebel.

The sound of military trumpets continued to sound on the battlefield, followed by the sound of soldiers running, and all the soldiers, after receiving the order, hurriedly packed up their equipment, and ran back in a squad unit.

In fact, there is no need to explain too much at this time, such weather conditions are here, and everyone knows that fighting at this time is not good for them. Of course, if it weren't for this fog, it would be a different story.

The Japanese troops who were about a kilometer away from the position also faintly heard the sound of the military horn on the opposite position, and the sound of the horn also made the Japanese army more cautious.

Some people in the Japanese army began to wonder how they knew that the Japanese army was about to arrive at the position in this kind of ghost weather. But this useless thought was quickly left behind, and no one dared to be distracted at this time, everyone was in good spirits, as long as they heard the gunshots, whether it was dense or not, everyone would immediately lie down on the ground, and then crawl to the opponent's position little by little.

In the face of machine gun defense, the number of casualties can only be reduced by lying on the ground.

What the Japanese did not expect was that they thought that the other side was ready to attack, but in fact the other side was retreating. After about twenty minutes, the slowly advancing Japanese still did not encounter any resistance, and based on the speed and time, they should have almost reached the position of the 371st Division, which was somewhat surprising.

"Assault ......" A bold Japanese captain officer stood up suddenly, pulled out the command knife at his waist, suddenly pointed diagonally ahead, and shouted fiercely.

At this moment, it should not be far from the enemy's position, rather than passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

"Onboard ......"

After hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers of the 3rd Division began to stiffen their waists, put the tail of their rifles diagonally on their waists, let out a wolf howl, and quickly rushed forward.

This Japanese move also caused echoes from other Japanese troops, and more and more Japanese troops began to charge. (To be continued.) )
