"Baga, order the troops to assemble immediately, prepare to retreat, and retreat to the headquarters...."In the face of the huge casualties of the troops, the little sharpness in the chief of staff's heart has almost been completely crushed. Hearing the exhortation of his subordinates, the chief of staff no longer had any hesitation and ordered loudly. However, at this moment, is it possible to still want a successful retreat?

Just when the herald who got the order was just about to leave. The sound of hurried footsteps reached the ears of several people. Immediately afterwards, a lieutenant squadron leader appeared in front of the chief of staff, panting and reported: "Report to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, around us, a large-scale Eighth Route Army has been found. According to preliminary statistics, the total number of the Eighth Route Army exceeded the size of five thousand people. As for the specific situation, it is still under investigation...."

"What do you say, massive reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, you say it again?" The chief of staff asked rhetorically in disbelief with his eyes widening.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the reconnaissance unit is around us and has found a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army. If nothing else, our army has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the size of the Eighth Route Army is at least three main regiments or more, and it is well-equipped..."The squadron leader quickly replied under the gaze of the chief of staff with a pair of eyes that could almost kill.

"Baga, we have been tricked, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to annihilate us all here. Quick, herald, immediately notify all troops, immediately assemble and prepare for a breakthrough. In any case, we will bring the remaining troops back to the headquarters and put them in the hands of His Excellency the Commander. Hurry up, go and deliver the order right away..."After getting the squadron leader's affirmative answer, think about the battle for more than an hour. The chief of staff, who has very rich command experience, suddenly came to his senses. With a loud shout, he yelled eagerly at the herald who was about to leave... In just five minutes, after more than an hour of fighting, the remaining more than 1,500 Japanese troops, under the leadership of commanders at all levels, carried a large number of wounded and quickly assembled to the side of the chief of staff... Looking at the troops standing in front of him, almost half of the number of troops was lost at once. Looking at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, constantly wailing, the chief of staff's heart ached as if it were dripping blood.

However, in the face of the life and death of himself and the troops in front of him, the chief of staff reacted instantly after a short period of emotion, and began to issue specific combat tasks to the three captains in front of him: "The first brigade is the first wave of offensive formation, responsible for giving troops and opening a breakthrough in the defense line of the Eighth Route Army. The second brigade took all the light and heavy wounded and retreated, and the third brigade blocked the possible pursuers. From now on, the whole army is ready for a surprise attack ...."

"Hey, Your Excellency Chief of Staff...", the three captains took the order at the same time. No, what these soldiers didn't expect was that on the way they broke through, there was a main battalion of the Eighth Route Army. In the wide streets, several fortifications were built with sandbags. The knives and guns are unsheathed, waiting for these little devils to come and die.

Just when hundreds of warriors were hiding behind the fortifications, quietly waiting for the little devil to arrive. An earth-shattering shout of killing reached their ears from the end of the street. Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred little devils holding rifles and quickly charging at themselves appeared in everyone's eyes. Nearly a hundred devil soldiers, driven by the commander behind them, rushed towards the fortifications where they were.

"All machine guns, loaded with bullets, ready to fire, no one is allowed to fire in advance without my order..."Looking at the little devil who was full of murderous aura and getting closer and closer to the position, the company commander who was guarding behind the fortifications did not show any panic, but showed a confident smile. Facing a few machine gunners holding machine guns around him, he whispered an order..."Click..."Several crisp metal collision sounds sounded, and several machine gunners around the company commander loaded the machine gun bullets in their arms. Through the shooting holes piled up with sandbags in front of him, he slowly stretched out the barrel of the black hole. Accurately facing the front, getting closer and closer to him, the dense group of devils was ready to pull the trigger.

Just when nearly a hundred little devils, holding up the weapons in their hands, rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the entire defensive position, and one by one the little devils already thought that victory was in their hands and accelerated their charging speed. A crisp gunshot completely shattered the sweet dream in their hearts, pulling them back from the dream to the cruel and bloody reality.

With a crisp gunshot, the silence on the defensive position was shattered. In the fortifications, which were still empty just now, five dense tongues of fire spit out in an instant... The dense rain of bullets shot mercilessly into the chests of the little devils who still didn't know that death had befallen their heads....

Five scorching tongues of fire, on the street less than ten meters wide, quickly formed an impermeable bullet net, constantly reapering with the life of a little devil. In just an instant, the dozens of devil soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down in a pool of blood. And in the dense formation of little devils, the soldiers at the back of the queue did not know that their comrades in front of them were being hit violently at this moment.

These devil soldiers, not only did not retreat and conceal in any way, but pushed the soldiers in front of them, and constantly crashed into a barrage composed of bullets, until they were concentrated and turned into a corpse, only in shock, they stopped their charging footsteps, and fell heavily in a pool of blood...

"Da Da Da Da..."In the dense gunfire, one after another hit the little devils who hit the bullet net. In the midst of the shock, it turned into a soft corpse... Finally, after five machine guns, each machine gun fired two magazines, nearly a hundred devil soldiers, except for a dozen people who rushed to the end, were lucky enough to lie on the ground, and escaped the harvest of death. The rest of the soldiers were either corpses, or seriously wounded who kept letting out a burst of wailing..."Yaga... Artillery, immediately carry out artillery bombardment, must destroy the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army. The 1st Brigade was all ready to charge, and this time, even if the whole army was destroyed, it would break through the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army. The guard squad, responsible for supervising the battle, and the retreaters are engaged in military law..."Although, nearly a hundred soldiers, in just a moment, turned into corpses in front of them. But to see more than a thousand soldiers still alive behind themselves. After a short period of thought, the chief of staff still mercilessly gave the troops the order to charge to the death, absolutely at the expense of the first brigade, in exchange for the survival of the two brigades behind him....

"Boom, boom, boom...", a dense explosion sounded just as the chief of staff's words fell. The army gathered all the mortars it carried, and at the same time, at the same time, it began to pour shells one after another at the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army in front of them. In less than a few seconds, the entire fortification was plunged into a sea of fire... In the dense explosion, some soldiers who did not have time to retreat and transfer were torn to pieces by shells. And more warriors have turned into bloody corpses... In the same way, the fortifications built only on sandbags, driven by the huge waves of air generated by the dense explosions, were thrown high one by one, and then torn to pieces, and one by one machine gun positions were blown into ruins... Nearly 100 shells, in less than a minute, all fell in this fortification with a width of less than ten meters and a length of less than ten meters. As the smoke slowly cleared, it was still a neat fortification. At this moment, it is indeed a mess, sandbags have been blown up everywhere, and the entire position has become a ruin, and there is almost no possibility of continuing to use it....

"Yo Xi, warriors, kill me in order to be able to rush out... Kill and give, break through the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army..."A shout sounded on the starting position of the Japanese army. The first brigade, after the first round of attack, only more than 400 people remained. With the issuance of an order, driven by several machine guns of the supervision team and the guard team behind him, he rushed out of the position with a roar, and rushed over to the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army, which had been blown into ruins by artillery fire a few hundred meters away.

"Hide on the spot, machine guns, fire immediately, be sure to block the attack of the little devils... The machine gunner immediately went out to shoot ... Seeing that the little devil's artillery fire had just ended, hundreds of ** and hundreds of devil soldiers who were about to launch a suicide attack rushed to a place 100 meters away. The company commander, who had just rushed to the position and had no time to react, shouted an order to the fighters behind him... In an instant, after the intensive artillery bombardment just now, the remaining three machine guns of the entire company immediately sprayed a dense rain of bullets at the little devils who were scrambling... However, the bullets fired by the three crooked machine guns were not able to stop the attack of the Yue army. Although, one after another, under the continuous strafing of the three machine guns, fell on the way to the charge, and kept turning into corpses. However, the soldiers who charged behind them, in the face of the huge casualties in front of them, really had no intention of stopping. Instead, he stepped on the corpses of his comrades, faced the dense bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army, and continued to charge... At this moment, there is only one task in their hearts: that is, to use their bodies to block bullets for their comrades behind them, so that their comrades-in-arms can rush out of a longer distance under their own protection....

Under the charge of the little devil who is not afraid of death, the firepower of the three machine guns is obviously a lot weaker. In less than a few minutes, more than 400 soldiers left nearly 100 corpses on the charge less than 50 meters long. The remaining troops finally rushed to the point where there were only fifty points left from the position. What's more, some devil soldiers, already in the process of charging, began to take out the grenades on their waists and prepare to drop the bombs....

Seeing the devil soldiers who were close at hand and about to rush into their positions, the company commander shouted loudly: "The infantry threw grenades, and everyone is ready to retreat..."

A dense grenade explosion sounded, and the grenades that continued to explode immediately temporarily blocked the momentum of the little devil's charge. Then, the remaining nearly 100 soldiers on the position, under the leadership of the company commander, quickly withdrew from the position, got into the courtyard next to the street, and disappeared above the position..."Kill to give..."Without the resistance of the soldiers, with the smoke of gunpowder blocking in front of the little devil, it slowly dissipated. The rest of the devil soldiers, shouting slogans, easily rushed to the defensive position that had been bombed into ruins..."Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army has been successfully broken through by our First Brigade, and the troops are continuing to attack, please ask the Chief of Staff to immediately lead the team to break through..." The captain of the first brigade hurriedly reported.

"Yo Xi, the second brigade, the third brigade, take all the wounded, break through with me, break through to the headquarters, kill to..." However, before he could finish his words, a dense explosion reached his ears from the end of the street. At the same time, the nearly 1,000 devil soldiers who were just about to break through stopped their steps, stretched their necks, and looked in the direction where the explosion came from..."Baga, my first brigade, how can this be." Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning..."Seeing his own first brigade, after successfully occupying the position of the Eighth Route Army. In an instant, it was covered by a dense number of grenades thrown from the courtyards on both sides of the street. More than 300 devil soldiers, at this moment, all struggled with the dense sound of grenade explosions. The captain clenched his fists and scolded loudly, only to watch as one devil soldier after another fell into the explosion of the grenade, letting out bursts of desperate screams, turning into corpses.

Finally, as the sound of the explosion stopped, just before the smoke of gunpowder that filled the streets had dissipated. In the courtyards on both sides of the street, countless troops of the Eighth Route Army rushed out in an instant. Through the increasingly sparse gunpowder smoke in the air, the little devil could clearly see that one by one the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army quickly stabbed the bright bayonets in their hands into the bodies of the imperial soldiers who were lying on the street one by one and had not had time to react....

In less than two minutes, the smoke that filled the streets finally cleared. However, on the way for the little devils to break through, a defensive position with sandbags once again appeared in the sky, and several light and heavy machine guns were erected on the position, constantly swinging their black muzzles. And behind this defensive position, the nearly 100-meter-long street was almost covered with the corpses of the imperial soldiers, one after the other, and there was no place to stay.

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army. Order, artillery troops, immediately at the position of the Eighth Route Army, carry out indiscriminate artillery bombardment, quickly, carry out artillery bombardment, and blow the Eighth Route Army in front of me to pieces....open artillery..."Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, the chief of staff clenched his fists, swelled with a pair of red eyes, and roared loudly at several commanders around him... With the rapid departure of the heralds, the chief of staff also raised his telescope for the first time, and stared at the position of the Eighth Route Army a few hundred meters away without blinking, wanting to see the bodies of these Eighth Route Army soldiers being torn apart by shells. However, to his disappointment, two minutes passed, and he still did not hear any cannon fire in his ears. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the telescope were still lying motionless behind the bunker, quietly aiming accurately.

"Yaga, what's going on with the artillery, why haven't you shelled it yet. Quick, the artillery unit will immediately carry out the shelling, otherwise it will be dead, it will be dead...", the chief of staff frowned and continued to roar at one of the captains behind him. However, before he finished speaking, a dense burst of gunfire reached his ears from the artillery positions in the rear.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a second lieutenant squad leader, rushing over to this side with a gunpowder face, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, in an emergency, the artillery position was attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery squadron was completely wiped out... Now, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of artillery fire, are rushing towards the main force, please make a decision as soon as possible..."

"Nani? How could this be, how could the Eighth Route Army advance so fast. Hurry, the third brigade, immediately catch up, and be sure to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army. The second brigade, immediately charged, must break through the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army. It is said that the imperial army of this empire has only warriors who died in battle, and there are no cowards who have been captured. Warriors, kill and give, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and for the sake of the Empire, break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army...."In the face of life and death, the chief of staff immediately reacted from shock. He quickly drew his command knife, and commanded loudly to the two remaining captains beside him..."Kill to..."Immediately, nearly a thousand devil soldiers, with the order of the chief of staff, quickly split into two and rushed towards their enemies... Suddenly, several streets centered on the chief of staff of the Japanese army resounded with bursts of gunfire. However, under the fierce attack of several times the soldiers around him, the sound of guns and cannons is getting closer and closer to the chief of staff...
