Finally, after nearly five hours of hard work by the soldiers, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, all the trenches were basically dug up. Faced with the continuous trenches, the soldiers began to pass through the trenches one by one to the forefront and confront the devils.

At this time, the position of the Eighth Route Army was only 35 meters away from the army, and the wooden-handled grenades in the hands of the soldiers could easily be thrown into the ring fortifications of the devils, but the melon grenades in the hands of the devils did not harm the trenches of the Eighth Route Army. Unless there are soldiers in the army with particularly strong arms, however, there will not be many such soldiers, and it will not have much impact on the overall battle.

Again, it was the 1st Battalion that was responsible for the assault of the entire brigade, as a result of the loss of almost a company of troops in the previous attack. Liu Hua directly transferred a company from the guard battalion to supplement the first battalion. Therefore, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the first battalion not only did not decline in the slightest, but because it was supplemented by thousands of guard companies, the combat effectiveness increased a lot.

The commander of the first battalion, according to the order of the commander, concentrated all the wooden-handled grenades in the battalion, totaling more than 500 grenades. All of them are concentrated in the hands of fighters with strong arms, and they are ready to concentrate on the positions of the third squad of devils when the time comes, and destroy their positions with dense grenades.

"Flare" looked at the regiments that had entered the combat position, and the commander Liu Hua ordered to the chief of staff behind him.

"Bang bang bang" three gunshots, three flares were shot into the sky, and three brilliant fireworks exploded.

"Prepare to drop the bomb." A battalion commander shouted. The whistling sound of the "woo-woo" grenade breaking through the air reached everyone's ears, and more than 100 grenades were thrown out by the fighters.

The army opposite the first battalion was in a fighting state under the threat of the trenches of the Eighth Route Army. When they saw three flares rising from the opposite position, they all knew that the Chinese had begun to attack. So they clenched their rifles and aimed steadily at the edge of the trench opposite. Hoping to be hit by himself the moment the Shina man showed his head. However, they did not see the head of the Eighth Route Army, did not hear the sound of machine guns and rifles.

I only saw a group of grenades suddenly thrown out of the trench I was aiming at, and the target was directly aimed at my position, and the army stared blankly at the grenades that were getting closer and closer. "Baga, grenade, hide quickly." The squad leader shouted loudly. However, he had no opportunity or place to hide.

More than 500 grenades exploded at a distance of no more than 100 meters in width, and at least 5 grenades were divided into at least 5 grenades at an average distance of one meter.

The explosion of the grenade, the wailing of the devil, the fighters heard it clearly. Until the last round of grenade explosions, the devil's position was completely covered in gunsmoke, and the commander of the first battalion knew that this was a good time. "Comrades, rush, avenge the sacrificed comrades, kill," the battalion commander shouted loudly, and was the first to rush out of the trench.

At the same time, just behind the battalion commander were nine light machine guns of the first battalion, which spewed tongues of fire one after another. However, until the soldiers rushed to the position of the devils, they did not meet any resistance. When I walked into the devil's position, I found that a squad of the Japanese army was almost killed and wounded under the attack of grenades, and the only remaining dozen or so wounded devil soldiers were surrounding them, holding damaged rifles against the soldiers who rushed to the position.

"One company, destroy these devils, two companies and three companies, and then charge me." Looking at the remaining dozen or so devil wounded soldiers, the battalion commander showed no mercy. With the fighters, he quickly passed through the first-line position of the devils, and under the cover of machine guns, he continued to charge forward.

There are 50 meters between the first and second positions of the devils, and there are communication trenches connecting each other. Guarding the second-line position were the strength of two squads, and when they heard a violent explosion on the position, they knew that the first-line position should be in a precarious position. So he immediately sent a squad of troops for reinforcements.

However, it was still not as fast as the Eighth Route Army, and just after the first battalion occupied the position, a reinforced squad had just set off. I didn't know at all that the front-line positions had been occupied by the [***] team. However, the first battalion also did not know that the strength of the devil's squad was slowly approaching them through the communication trenches.

"It's not good, there are devils." A soldier who was attacking along the trench suddenly noticed that a group of soldiers in the trench was rapidly approaching him, so he shouted loudly. At the same time, he also raised the rifle in his hand and shot at the devil who was close at hand. In the same way, just as the warrior shouted, the devil also found him. As the gunshots rang out, several bullets also hit his body, and he fell crookedly towards the traffic trench.

As a result, a squad of soldiers and two companies of the Eighth Route Army suddenly encountered at close range, and the distance of the encounter was only less than ten meters. With the sound of a row of guns, a dozen soldiers fell on each side, but it was obvious that the soldiers had suffered.

The battalion commander looked at the dozens of devils opposite, and then at the two companies behind him. Immediately, a method of attacking the second-line position of the devil appeared in his mind. "Comrades, don't retreat, there are only a few dozen devils, rush up and fight with them with bayonets." The battalion commander shouted.

"Comrades, rush" First of all, the party members in the battalion took the lead and shouted loudly, facing the bullets of the devils, rushing forward, the fighters in front fell, and the ones behind followed.

Finally, under the leadership of these party members, the soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another, and rushed towards the devils on the opposite side with their rifles with good bayonets. Maybe it was a lot of blood, maybe it was moved by the spirit of the party members, and in the face of the flying bullets, not a single soldier retreated.

The dozens of devils on the opposite side looked at the Eighth Route Army that was getting closer and closer, and slowly began to panic. It has always been said that the soldiers of the imperial army are not afraid of death, and the people of China are cowards. However, today, in the face of the flying bullets, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army charged forward desperately, one after another, and the devils on the opposite side were completely shocked by the spirit of the soldiers of the first battalion.

The orderly formation of the army began to be chaotic, and slowly, these devils began to fight and retreat. And the fighters will not give them a chance to escape. has been biting the devil's tail tightly, and he doesn't annihilate it all, nor does he give up, but follows the devil's back closely.

Of course, everything that happened on the battlefield fell into the eyes of the devil squad leader who stayed behind in the second line of defense. Looking at the people less than ten meters behind the fourth squad, the squad leader was very anxious. Because he knew that the intention of the people of China was to follow the retreating soldiers and break through their second line of defense in one fell swoop.

Now the squad leader has two options in front of him, one is that the imperial army of half of the squad in front of him retreats to the position to resist the Eighth Route Army together, if so, then he can only fight with the Eighth Route Army behind him with bayonets. Another way is to stop the army from continuing to retreat and use machine guns to repel the Zhina, but if this happens, he will be charged with slaughtering his comrades.

Looking at the people who were getting closer and closer, the team leader finally made a decision to fight the bayonets with the people of China, because he believed that the bayonet technology of the imperial army would definitely be able to kill the people who rushed over without leaving a piece of armor.

"All of them, bayonet, kill to" The team leader pulled out the command knife at his waist and pointed at the people who were rushing towards the position.

The devils on the "kill to give" position all shouted and rushed out of the position, and soon joined up with the retreating army, so nearly 2 squads of nearly 100 devil soldiers rushed head-on to the first battalion that was charging.

Looking at the oncoming ghost soldiers, a smile appeared on the corner of the battalion commander's mouth, because his combat intention had been realized. "Comrades, follow me to kill devils." After speaking, he raised the shell gun in his hand and swept the dense formation of devils, and the few devils who rushed to the front were immediately knocked to the ground by the dense bullets of the shell gun.

It wasn't until the sound of the shell gun being empty that he stopped and quickly inserted the gun into the holster on his waist, picked up a devil rifle on the ground, and killed the devil's formation. The soldiers who followed behind the battalion commander also did the same, first finishing the bullets in their rifles, causing certain casualties to the devils, and then rushing to the devils' formation.

In this way, with the sound of messy gunshots, dozens of soldiers fell in the ranks of the devil's charge at once. However, at this time, the distance between the two armies was too close to allow any reaction from the two sides. The two units collided. In the dark night, you can only see the swords shining on the position, hear the shouts of the soldiers and the wails of the devils.

Finally, a few minutes later, the brutal white-knuckle battle gradually divided the winner and loser, and the first battalion, which had the advantage in numbers, completely annihilated the devils of these two squads and occupied the enemy's second-line position at the cost of two platoons.

The second-line position, which is the last line of defense of the devils, indicates that the second battalion has entered the hinterland of the devils. The first battalion that broke through the second-line position, like Sun Wukong who entered the belly of the Bull Demon King, rushed and fought fiercely on the devil's position, and soon disrupted the devil's original formation. Under the blow of the tiger of the first battalion, the rear of the devils began to be chaotic, and again, this confusion directly affected the wing command.

"Baga, it's a shame for the imperial army that one battalion actually beat you like this. Quickly organize the troops, draw two squadrons from the front line, and destroy this unit. Wing Captain Okamoto yelled loudly. So, in order to eliminate the regiment and battalion that entered the position of the army, the devil began to draw troops from the first-line and second-line positions.

The remaining troops of the Reading Brigade have been staring at the defense line of the Yue Army, watching the defensive positions of the Yue Army become more and more chaotic. And they are constantly pumping troops to the rear. I know that this is a rare opportunity that the company has created for itself.

"Rush" One by one, the troops who were lying in ambush in front of the devil's position rushed out of the trench and rushed towards the devil's position. Gradually, these shouts and killings became one. The entire battlefield seemed to be overshadowed by the shouts of the warriors. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, the fighters bravely rushed towards the devil's position full of holes, regardless of casualties
