I have to praise the efficiency of the field units of the Kwantung Army, which is very high. In less than 10 minutes after the chief of staff of the wing left the headquarters, the two infantry brigades, nearly 2,000 little devils who had already been ready to go, began to march quickly towards the forward position with the heavy machine guns to which the brigade belonged. At the same time, the artillery position of the Yue Army, which was less than two kilometers away from the headquarters, began to make another statement about the position of the defenders of Shimenling....

In the dense sound of explosions, a complete set of defensive civil fortifications built by the Anti-Japanese Federation in Shimenling was immediately caught in a burst of artillery fire... And the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which had already suffered more than half of the casualties and were almost running out of ammunition and food, were sticking to the forward position, after more than an hour of bloody fighting, and they were doing their last insistence as a Chinese [***] person in the midst of artillery fire..."Commander-in-chief, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, if the first battalion is not given the order to retreat, it will not take half an hour for the entire battalion to be wiped out under the continuous attack of the puppet army. Commander-in-chief, you just give the order...."Behind the defensive position of the Shimenling Anti-Alliance, inside the headquarters of a semi-underground bunker. After the troops were besieged by the Yue Army, the commander of the First Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Federation after reorganization said to Yang Jingyu, who was speechless and frowning in front of him..."Can you still withdraw now?" The enemy's artillery fire is so fierce, if you retreat at this time, how many fighters can be retreated, and you have to retreat when the enemy's artillery fire is over. In addition, do everything you can to tell the commander of the first battalion to let him lead the troops to hold out for the last ten minutes, and after ten minutes, the reinforcements will arrive to take over the entire position..."After a few seconds of silence, Yang Jingyu was ruthless and said with a resolute face..."Reinforcements. But, Commander-in-Chief, where are we going to get reinforcements now? Almost every battalion of the entire Anti-Japanese Union fought for no less than an hour in the forward position. Some of the main battalions, even many times went to the front to fight ... After five days of bloody battles, several main battalions have already been fought..."Wang Minggui, the commander of the First Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Federation, who had just spoken, asked with a puzzled expression: "There is another unit that we have not used, and this unit, far away in the sky and close at hand, is the last remaining guard battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Federation. The guard battalion was ordered to immediately prepare for battle, and after the enemy's shelling was over, run into the position and take over the first battalion on the position to hold the position. Tell Battalion Commander Wang that even if the entire guard battalion is exhausted, you can't let a little devil cross the Shimenling defense line..."Yang Jingyu ordered with a resolute face..."Commander-in-chief, the guard battalion is sent out, who will protect your safety... No, resolutely no, I will go up with a regiment of remaining soldiers, and the guard battalion will stay behind to protect the safety of the command headquarters..."As he spoke, Wang Minggui, the commander of the first regiment, hurriedly stood up from his seat, wanting to rush out of the headquarters to gather troops..."Stop, here, I am the supreme commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation." Whatever you, Wang Guiming, are yelling here, sit down for me..."Looking at Wang Guiming, who wanted to leave, General Yang Jingyu couldn't help but yell. In an instant, the headquarters, which had been noisy just now, immediately became quiet. As for Wang Guiming, the regiment commander who was in a hurry to lead troops to reinforce the forward position, faced with an angry face on the face of the commander-in-chief, he had no choice but to retreat and return to his position..."Comrades, I will not say the form that we are facing at the present time, and everyone is very clear. It can be said that the gains and losses of Shimenling are related to the life and death of our entire Anti-Japanese Federation. If Shimenling is lost, our Anti-Japanese Federation will also face the end of the annihilation of the whole army. When the time comes, the little devils will be able to drive straight into the last base area owned by our Anti-Japanese Federation. At that time, the Anti-Union will be gone, so what's the use of me still needing a guard battalion. All of them carried out the order, and the guard battalion immediately set out to reinforce the forward positions, and replaced the first battalion on the position for me. Then, like a nail, nail it there......." Facing more than a dozen commanders above the regimental level in front of him, Yang Jingyu decisively ordered....

As a combat staff officer left, looking at the commander who fell silent in the command headquarters, Yang Jingyu continued: "Of course, don't be discouraged, this time the enemy only has 100,000 troops, in addition to the large number of troops responsible for encircling and blocking us, the rest is more than 10,000 people in front of us. As long as we hold this place, block the enemy's attack, and break up the enemy's attack. Then, our resistance will not be wiped out. So, from now on, everyone here is also moving. Now I command...."

"The regiments immediately returned to their camps, and all the units that had been withdrawn from the front-line positions and were able to continue the battle were concentrated and reorganized in a unified manner. As soon as the reorganization is completed, report to me on the remaining combat strength of the troops, and at the same time, make preparations to reinforce the guard battalion. Today, we are here, vowing to live and die with Shimenling..."

"Swear to live and die with Shimenling...."More than a dozen commanders above the regimental level, in the face of the commander-in-chief's passionate order, did not hesitate, and at the same time raised their fists and shouted loudly....

"Well, at this moment, I am very happy to see that my comrades are as high as I am, with high morale. However, whether it can succeed or not depends on everyone's actions. The enemy has little time left for us, from now on, everyone will split up to carry out the task and break the meeting..."Seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Jingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the order to dismiss the meeting... And at this moment, the round of artillery bombardment of the Japanese army also ended. As the shelling ended, the two captains who had received orders from Wing Commander Daisaku Matsuda also began to be ruthless. In the shortest possible time, two infantry brigades, totaling more than 20 heavy machine guns, were transported to the forefront of the offensive position, and began to rely on these heavy machine guns to intensively suppress and strafe the forward positions of the Shimenling Anti-Japanese Alliance. In the face of the rain of bullets flying overhead, looking around, after the shelling just now, there were only three Outer Eight Light Machine Guns and a small number of bullets left in the whole battalion, and I had to lower my head again, shrink in the trench, and prepare to fight melee with the little devils... At the foot of the mountain, a few hundred meters away, under the suppression of the strafing of more than 20 heavy machine guns, there was no movement in the anti-United Nations position. The 22nd Infantry Company's Second Brigade Captain Ogura Shosa's face immediately showed a smile of satisfaction. Then, to the captain of the third brigade beside him, Shan County Shaozuo, said proudly..."Shan County, the Imperial Army of this empire is invincible no matter what time it is. In the face of the fierce artillery fire and intensive strafing of our Imperial Army, I believe that the anti-coalition forces that are holding their positions have been wiped out by us..."

"Ogura-kun, although there is no movement in the position on the other side, I think we still can't be careless. After all, the enemy in front of us, with the rudimentary weapons in his hands, had already blocked the repeated attacks of our army for five whole days. Therefore, I think that our first attack should also be based on the tentative surname..."Seeing the look of contempt on his face in front of him, Yamakura Shaoza, the captain of the third brigade, frowned and reminded softly..."Yamaguchi-kun, you're too careful. However, you are absolutely right, we cannot underestimate the enemy. The first round of the attack will be handed over to my 2nd Infantry Brigade. Order, the 1st Infantry Squadron of the 2nd Brigade, immediately launch an attack on the enemy's position..."In the face of the reminder of his colleagues, Ogura Shaosa was very unhappy, but he had to respond.

Then, he ordered the 1st Infantry Squadron under his command, nearly 200 elite Kwantung Army soldiers to launch the first round of attack. I am ready to use practical actions to prove that what I just said is not to underestimate the enemy, but to be confident in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army of the Great Imperial Army, and confident in the combat effectiveness of my own troops..."Kill and give..."Nearly two hundred little devils, as a squadron leader quickly drew his command knife and gave the order to attack, immediately shouted the slogan of shaking the sky, raised the rifle with the bayonet in his hand, and under the cover of the heavy machine gun fire, lined up in three dense skirmish lines, and launched a charge... In front of the position, it was dense, like a little devil like a burst of yellow waves. The remaining more than 100 soldiers of the first battalion, although they wanted to use the weapons in their hands, to deal a severe blow to their arrogance. However, in the face of the bullets flying above their heads, they could only give up this unrealistic idea in their hearts. Then, with one hand tightly grasped the rifle in his hand, pricked up his ears, and prepared to counterattack..."All of them, immediately put on the bayonet." Listen to my orders, throw all the grenades on my body, and call on the little devil to avenge the sacrificed brothers... Grenade preparation..."Facing the little devils who were getting closer and closer, just when more than a hundred fighters, tense their nerves, and ready for battle, the voice of a battalion commander rang out in the trenches.

Immediately, a pair of shiny bayonets were inserted into the muzzles of rifles by more than 100 soldiers. At the same time, the grenades were also neatly placed in front of them by the soldiers, and the pull rings of the grenades were also pulled out. One soldier after another, with the exception of the Heavy and the Marksman, all held a grenade and was ready to throw... At this moment, the offensive formation composed of nearly two hundred little devils was less than 100 meters away from the position of the first battalion. Looking at his troops, without encountering any resistance, they easily attacked within 100 meters... The face of the second brigade captain Ogura Shaosa immediately showed an excited look. Facing the Shaozo of Shan County next to him, he said proudly..."Shan Shan Jun, I am not wrong. The cowardly people of China have already collapsed under the fierce shelling of our Imperial Army. You see, one of my squadrons has attacked within 100 meters, and the opposite position still has no reaction. I think that the first merit of breaking through the defense line of Shimenling of the Anti-Union this time belongs to our Second Infantry Brigade..."

"Ogura-kun, it's better to be careful. The troops of the Anti-United Nations are too cunning, and I think that the formation of the offensive troops of the troops is too dense. If the enemy counterattacks with grenades, the troops will definitely pay huge casualties..."In the face of such a smooth attack, I think of the endless counterattack methods of the anti-coalition layer in the past five days. In the heart of Shan County Shaozo, he always felt that there seemed to be a very huge conspiracy that was enveloping the attacking troops. Seeing the underdog Ogura Shaozo beside him, Shan Shan Shaozo still frowned and continued to remind: "Shan Shan Jun, yours are too careful. Fighting back with grenades is a very good idea, though. However, after the fierce shelling of our army's artillery, the people of China on the mountain have long lost this opportunity...."At this moment, in the face of the repeated reminders of Shaozo of Shan County. Ogura Shaosa's face slowly showed a trace of contempt. Then, with a hint of mockery, he said to the county Shaozo next to him....

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the whole person stayed there in an instant. Because, in his telescope, there was still a silent and no movement in the anti-union blocking position just now. As his heavy machine gun stopped firing, countless human heads immediately appeared. Immediately after that, it was a raindrop of grenades that landed in his own offensive formation..."Ba Ge Yalu, how can this be, where did these people come from, Baga... Boom Boom Boom...."Just as Ogura Shaosa had just reacted from the shock and had not finished his sentence, a huge explosion reached his ears, interrupting his cursing... As I remembered the sound of the explosion, the more than 100 soldiers of the Imperial Army, who were still in high morale just now and lined up in a dense attack formation, were immediately enveloped in the smoke of gunpowder from the explosion of the grenade..."Boom, boom, boom...."A violent explosion, like a thorn, pierced Ogura Shaosa's heart. In a tight moment, Kokura Shaoza, who was flushed with excitement just now because the troops were progressing well, immediately turned pale. At the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans also rolled down from his forehead....

The explosion of the entire grenade lasted for a total of half a minute, and the thinking of the little devil Ogura Shaoza also paused for half a minute. As the last explosion sounded, a loud trumpet woke him from his dream. Through the smoke of gunpowder in front of the position, more than a hundred anti-United Nations soldiers with bayonets appeared in their eyes... For a long time, the people of China, who thought they were very cowardly, actually held bayonets and launched a close-range counter-charge against the Imperial Army. The scene in front of him once again shocked Ogura Shaoza. However, at this time, he had to face the cruel and unbelievable reality in front of him.

Because, more than 100 soldiers of the Anti-United Nations have already rushed to the eyes of their own troops with bright bayonets. And at this moment, after the explosion of the grenade rain just now, less than a hundred soldiers left in the entire infantry squadron also held up the bayonets in their hands and rushed into the formation of the Anti-Union. In a matter of moments, the two armies collided... More than 200 soldiers from both sides began to engage in the most brutal and brutal hand-to-hand combat at the front of the position....With the bright bayonet and the sound of "snorting" stabbed into the stomach of one soldier after another, a soldier who was still full of fighting spirit just now fell unwillingly in a pool of blood... In less than a few minutes, there were a lot of vacancies in the still dense hand-to-hand combat battlefield, and at least fifty soldiers fell in a pool of blood and turned into corpses. However, if you look carefully, you can clearly see that among the more than 50 people who have just died, there are less than 20 people in the little devil... And the first battalion, there are more than 30 people... After all, the first battalion on the hill position had gone through several hours of bloody fighting on the position, and both in terms of physical strength and morale were greatly reduced. And the little devils are different, the first attack, the morale of the troops is high. In less than 10 minutes, it became an overwhelming situation, and the dozens of anti-United Nations fighters who had entered the village from the position slowly rushed towards the hilltop position..."Yo Xi, no matter how cunning the soldiers of the Anti-United Nations are, they are vulnerable in front of the heroic Imperial Army..." However, the attacking troops, with the remaining squad, used bayonets to defeat the resistance on the top of the mountain, and were about to occupy the entire forward position. Ogura Shaozuo, who was still pale just now, once again showed a smile on his face, and said to Shan Shan Shaozuo beside him..."Well, in terms of bayonets, I say that this imperial army can indeed be called the first in the world. In order to prevent the follow-up forces of the Anti-Japanese Union from counterattacking, I suggest that a new wave of troops be sent immediately to rush to the position, reinforce the first squadron, and hold on to the breakthrough we have just opened..."Seeing that after the grenade exploded, the Imperial soldiers who were at a disadvantage turned the tide of the battle with the bayonets in their hands. Shan Shan Shaozo couldn't help but nod appreciatively, and then, very sensibly, reminded..."Yo Xi, order the second and third infantry squadrons to attack immediately, reinforce the first pair, stick to the breakthrough, and resolutely not let the Anti-Japanese Federation recapture this forward position..."Regarding Shan Shan County Shaozuo's proposal, at this moment, after just a while, Ogura Shaoza no longer had any hesitation, and immediately ordered to the deputy captain behind him.

Immediately, two infantry squadrons and more than 300 devil soldiers, under the leadership of their squadron leader, rushed out of the offensive position with their fastest charging speed and rushed towards the battlefield where a fierce battle was going on not far away... However, the Anti-Japanese Federation held the Shimenling position for five whole days, was it really so easily occupied by the army? The answer is no. Because, at the same time that the army had just sent reinforcements, the reinforcements of the first battalion, the guard battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese Federation, had already arrived at the battlefield....
