"This group of devils, I call him his sister!"

After hearing the report of his subordinates, a regiment commander scolded and scolded.

This time, the Ninth Division of the National Defense Army, which was in charge of the defensive position, was the old unit of the former National Social Army, and almost all of the officers and officers in the unit, together with the soldiers below, were from Sichuan. Although in recent times, Yan Guang has also begun to insert some officers and soldiers from other provinces to enter, but after all, he has just begun to do so, and the effect is not so great, so this regiment commander is the "convention" of Sichuan people―――――― to be honest, although Yan Guang started his family in Sichuan, but Yan Guang himself is a native of another province after all, although he is now the president, it doesn't matter what this province is, but now Sichuan alone accounts for almost half of the country's military strength. And it is also the most elite half, even if this is an army that Yan Guang relied on, Yan Guang has to guard against it.

After all, if one day these Sichuan-based people suddenly want to support a Sichuan-born president, even Yan Guang will have a headache. If you don't get it right, you may be kicked down.

It is precisely for this reason that Yan Guang began to reuse the ... After all, balance is king, and balancing the forces under his command is also something Yan Guang must do. Otherwise, if there is a dominant family below, Yan Guang will not be able to say a lot of things..."Okay, Lao Li, don't scold yet..."

Hearing Li Yannian scolding and scolding there, Zhao Ruhai on the side persuaded him.

But to be honest, but to be honest, after hearing the news from his subordinates, he was also angry... After the battle, out of "humanitarianism", although the Wehrmacht officers and men did not like these people personally, they arranged for them to be taken to the hospital together with the Wehrmacht wounded after the battle.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that these soldiers would not only use human bullets to attack during the battle, but also do the same after the battle, and as a result, the officers and soldiers in charge of the rescue suffered a big loss in this case―――――― rescue, one or two people will definitely not work, after all, it takes at least two people to carry a stretcher, and if you add a help... Thereupon... In this case, in just a short time, the Wehrmacht actually suffered about 200 casualties... You know, in the course of the whole battle, the Wehrmacht, as the defending side, only suffered 6 or 700 casualties... However, it is precisely because of his own behavior that the officers and soldiers below are also very indignant―――――― kindly treat them as donkeys' livers and lungs... What's more, among the four major irons in life, there is a saying that they have carried a gun together... As comrades-in-arms in the army, they have fought together in the trenches, in the mud, and even in the flesh and blood of the enemy and comrades-in-arms, such a friendship is difficult to be cut off.

In this case, his comrades-in-arms were actually said to have used this means to give... It is impossible for the officers and soldiers below not to be indignant ... Thereupon... After learning some bad news, many officers and men directly "died" to those soldiers who were still waiting for rescue

At this time, except for some doctors who were too humanitarian, even the officers who were supposed to maintain order did not come forward, but just watched from the sidelines, and some even participated―――――― you must know that among the dead were not only their comrades-in-arms, but also their subordinates.

Originally, they were a little reluctant to rescue these people, but now they are saying that they are killing themselves, why should they come forward for themselves?

In the end, after Cai Ye learned of the situation and sent someone down to check, although the situation was somewhat rough, it was still learned quickly.

During the entire process, at least half of the wounded soldiers were killed.

In other words, only the first half of those who are eligible to become prisoners of war in the whole process remain, and the rest of them? It's a blessing to be able to keep a whole corpse. Moreover, after these wounded soldiers entered the prisoner of war camp, they were also reprimanded by the guards, but this is also retribution... And Cai Ye didn't say anything after learning everything. After all, he is also the commander in chief of the Wehrmacht, and it is false to say that he is not angry when he does this. It's just that the people below do this, and he is also a little wavering, on the one hand, he feels that the people below are very relieved to do this, and on the other hand, he feels that it is not right to do this... "Commander, don't be embarrassed, take care of the current situation first..."――――――――――――

Seeing Cai Yi in a dilemma, Yin Changheng on the side said after a long sigh.

He didn't have as much sentimentality as Cai Yi, and he didn't have anything wrong with the officers and soldiers under the bureau. In fact, if it were him, he would have supported the officers and soldiers below.

Moreover, the top priority is not to deal with the torture and killing of prisoners of war by the officers and soldiers below, but to counterattack... Counteroffensive, they have long been ready. To take the opportunity to counterattack when it is said that the general offensive has failed, the morale of the army is turbulent, and the command is chaotic, so that the probability of recapturing one position is very high, and even it is not impossible to recapture two at the same time.

Now that the army has retreated, this is definitely the best time to counterattack.

And after hearing Yin Changheng's words, Cai Ye also woke up like a dream and nodded hurriedly.

"That's right, a counteroffensive." Saying that, Cai Ye glanced at Yin Changheng and Jin Yunpeng, who had just walked in.

"You're all ready, right?"

"Commander, rest assured, everything is ready."

"Good!"

Cai Ye nodded. "In that case." Cai Yi looked at his watch. "Five minutes later, launch a counteroffensive."

"Do you want to go according to the original plan?"

"Just go with the plan."

"Then let's do it..."

After saying that, Yin Changheng saluted Cai Ye and left the headquarters with two subordinates.

As a young man who was very favored by Yan Guang when he was in Sichuan, and also the commander of the Jinan Military Region, Yin Changheng is extremely important, which can be seen from his appointment as the commander of the Jinan Military Region―――――― you must know that Shandong is going to fight, and Yan Guang's arrangement of him in Shandong itself represents the trust in him and himself.

Of course, Yang Xincheng, who has a higher degree of trust, was arranged by Yan Guang to be the commander of the Yanjing Military Region.

In Yan Guang's view, Yang Xincheng's personal ability may not be as good as Yin Changheng's, but his loyalty is definitely the highest, and Yan Guang should be much more relieved as the commander of the Yanjing Military Region.

Not long after, after receiving Cai Yi's order, he had already prepared, and the three infantry divisions that had not been put into battle just now had already been killed together, and directly killed the two positions that had fallen into the hands of the Yue army for a long time.

As part of the strategy, Cai arranged four infantry divisions as counteroffensive forces, deployed in the rear of the position, and did not engage in the battle just now. It was only at this time that they were allowed to appear.

Three of the infantry divisions were used as offensive forces to fight the positions.

The other infantry division is the reserve force, and when these three infantry divisions take the position, as the main force to prevent the counterattack of the Japanese army, or when they fail to take it and lack a little strength, let them go on... In order to ensure the secret surnames of these four infantry divisions, Cai Ye has not only done a lot of camouflage work for them recently, but even Xu Tianchuan's air force has also made a lot of contributions... But these contributions have paid off!

"Kill !!!!"

When the order was given, countless Wehrmacht officers and men rushed out of the trenches, and then, under the leadership of the officers who were the highest regimental commanders, they fought directly at the opposite position.

In just an instant, the earth-shattering shouts of killing had already poured into the positions of the Japanese army with the officers and men of these Wehrmacht troops.

"These damn Chinans..."

Looking at these Wehrmacht, which kept pouring out, but were extremely orderly in the process of pouring out, how could Terauchi Masaki not know what they wanted to do.

It's just that at this time, in addition to hoping that the officers and soldiers on the position can withstand it, Terauchi Zhengyi can only send a brigade as a reserve―――――― Terauchi Zhengyi didn't think that Cai Yi would do this, so he had arranged a reserve of an infantry brigade in advance.

An infantry brigade ... Don't look at it as just an infantry brigade, but there are 6, 7,000 people.

What's more, seriously speaking, an infantry division is more than 12,000 people, but an infantry brigade is only 4,000 people. In other words, two brigades are only 8,000, which may not be much more than one infantry brigade of the army.

What's more, this reserve still exists as a defensive force, and in the process of defense, the combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade will also be multiplied by a lot... It's just..."Kill!!!! ”

While shouting and killing, the crowd of more than 20,000 people was also pouring towards the position of the army.

In advance, however, the Wehrmacht did not bombard the positions of the Japanese army with artillery groups―――――― which had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is naturally that it can give losses to the army, and by the way, destroy some relatively strong fortifications, not to mention that the lost positions are still the Wehrmacht's own, and the Wehrmacht really knows the positions well―――――― provided that the Wehrmacht does not make improvements.

But the disadvantage is that while using the artillery group, Cai Yi is also reminding the temple Zhengyi by doing so.

Although the bombardment power of the artillery group, but doing so, it can also allow Terauchi Masashi to calmly mobilize troops and horses, and wait until the bombardment of the artillery group is over before reinforcing it.

Therefore, in advance, Cai Ye did not use the artillery group, but directly let his subordinates carry out a counteroffensive―――――― anyway, the army in the position was also chaotic because of the setback just now, and it was difficult for them to organize an effective force at this time.

And that's exactly what happened... Although the Japanese troops in the position who had not just participated in the attack were constantly firing with the Hatch Chase heavy machine guns and Type 38 rifles in their hands, inflicting considerable casualties on the charging Wehrmacht. However, when the Wehrmacht broke through the blockade of the firepower network and rushed directly in front of the army, there was a certain amount of confusion in the army.

This is because when retreating, it is impossible for the army to withdraw from its original structure, and it will inevitably be separated from the original troops in the process of withdrawal.

Of course, this is not a big problem, you just need to go back and recuperate. If it's fast, it may take a few hours to complete the preliminary tidying up.

It's a pity that Cai Ye didn't give them time to rest... Therefore, the current army is almost a small unit fighting on its own, and there are very few people who can still maintain the original construction and warfare, and there are very few units above the scale of the brigade.

So when the Wehrmacht rushed forward, except for the troops in charge of defense, the rest of the troops were almost in a state of confusion, fighting on their own with almost no cooperation... Under these circumstances, the Wehrmacht naturally had an extremely superior advantage, and soon suppressed the Japanese troops in the position.

It was at this time that when Terauchi Masashi asked the infantry brigade that was a reserve to go up for reinforcements, the Wehrmacht artillery group also began to move. And all the firepower was poured into the second position, and the original position of the Japanese army, the purpose was to terminate the reinforcement activities of the Japanese army... The firepower of the artillery group was extremely fierce, and it can even be said that, except for the initial period, there was no more fierce time in the process of fighting with the Yue army.

Looking at the heavy artillery fire, there were even many people who doubted that the Wehrmacht would take out all their ammunition reserves.

And the Entente Observer Mission, which saw this scene, was also amazed.

"It's hard to see such a heavy artillery fire, even in Europe..."

Saying this, the shell of a 280mm howitzer has fallen into a fortification, but very easily, this 280mm caliber shell has already blown up the fortification, and all the officers and soldiers in the fortification have been buried alive.

And the power of this shell can be felt clearly even by the observation group standing at a very long distance.

However, after listening to the words of the member of the Mission, an observer from the United Kingdom shook his head.

"Not necessarily, haven't we also seen the news coming back from China? Now the domestic occupation is definitely much more fierce than these Asians, and the number of heavy artillery is by no means comparable to these Asians―――――― but then again, if the number is equal, I'm afraid that the European side may not be more fierce than this side..."

The other observers nodded their heads when they heard him say this.

Although it is true that the Wehrmacht and the Ben Expeditionary Force have put on some good shows, there is nothing to catch the Mission's eye except for the bombing of the Air Force, incendiary bombs, and the various weapons of the Wehrmacht.

As for what was being staged by both sides, it was definitely the largest artillery battle in Asia, and it was nothing in the eyes of the members of the Mission, because what was being staged in Europe at the moment was the largest war in the world, and its scale was probably only comparable to that of the war staged more than 20 years later.

However, in terms of bloodiness, the two may be comparable―――――― the bloodiness of trench warfare is definitely far greater than mechanized warfare.

That is, by the time they spoke, the Wehrmacht had been fully integrated into the positions of the Japanese army.

And in the process of the offensive, the showmanship, and at the same time a lot of meritorious service, neither grenade launchers, nor mortars, not only Browning pistols and modified Madsen light machine guns that can be hand-held―――――― this machine gun is not modified, directly grabs the barrel with your hands ... You don't need a shuttle bullet, I'm afraid your hands are already familiar.

This time, it was the 18.5mm shotgun designed by the Sichuan Arsenal that made a big splash.

Although this new firearm is definitely inferior to conventional rifles in terms of range, its killing method is definitely more suitable for brutal trench warfare than ordinary rifles.

It is precisely for this reason that those soldiers with shotguns will always rush to the front of the line.

When jumping into the trench, he shot directly at the prepared army in the trench... With just one shot, if you get it right, you can accommodate a lot of people.

And after the shotgun opened the way, the follow-up soldiers also integrated, and then sapped sappers and shovels and other sharp weapons and said that the army was close to hand-to-hand combat―――――― the space in the trench was too narrow, it was too inconvenient to use a rifle, and it was too inconvenient to use a bayonet... Rifles are already inconvenient, and bayonets again? Wouldn't that be even more inconvenient?

In the process of hand-to-hand combat, the sapper shovels in the hands of the Wehrmacht soldiers, as well as the height of the Wehrmacht soldiers, although they are not tall, but they are at least one head taller than the soldiers, also played a lot of roles.

And although the body of these Dongyang Men is extremely strong, and the diet is also good, but the national defense army is not inferior―――――― the current national defense army is not the Kuomintang army of later generations, those armies of the Kuomintang, not only in terms of training is not as good as the army, but also after going to the battlefield, it is the strangest thing that the army can win in such a situation.

The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, is different.

In terms of training, perhaps the Wehrmacht may not be as good as the Army, but if we talk about food, the Wehrmacht and the Wehrmacht may not be much different, at least when they are in the army, the Wehrmacht can often eat meat―――――― even canned beef and pork, but there have been some logistical problems recently.

In the case that the physical condition is not too bad, or even exceeded, plus sapper shovels and other sharp weapons suitable for trench warfare. Although it is not as good as the army in training, it is too difficult to lose.

What's more, when you're in the trenches, there's a shotgun or something?

At this time, with the addition of artillery groups in the rear for cover, it was only a short time, and the Wehrmacht had already gained the advantage in front of the army..."Kill!!!! ”
