After receiving the order from Sakai Hoji, Kawabe Nakasa immediately ordered his troops to suppress the Eighth Route Army in the bunker, while avoiding the front of the bunker and sending people to start digging from the flank.

Soon the Eighth Route Army in the bunker realized that something was wrong, the little devil actually attacked once and then withdrew, which was completely inconsistent with the little devil's combat character!

However, it didn't make them wonder for long, and after a while, they saw the dust raised by the entrance pass, and the constantly exposed shovel heads suddenly revealed the true intentions of the Japanese army.

The 1st Squadron of the 1st Infantry Brigade, which was defending the bunker head-on, immediately reported the situation to the headquarters, and Huang Sicheng hurriedly took Huang Bingyan, the leader of the 1st Brigade, to the forward position through the secret troop transport road. I saw that the Japanese army was digging frantically, while the Japanese army behind was constantly suppressing the Eighth Route Army in the bunker with firepower.

"How long has the little devil been digging?" Huang Sicheng asked in a deep voice.

"Less than twenty minutes!" Wang Dashan, the leader of the first squadron, hurriedly replied.

"Look at the little devils' fortifications are still about a hundred and fifty meters away from our bunker, and if my judgment is correct, they will start attacking less than fifty meters from the bunker. You tell the soldiers to pour gasoline into the cistern, just pour five barrels, and don't waste it. Huang Sicheng said.

"Yes!"

After Wang Dashan left, Wu Xiuda said with admiration: "The detachment leader is really a god, how did he know that the little devil would attack with this method, and he deliberately left a countermeasure?" ”

"You don't understand this, don't look at our detachment leader's low level of education, like a big old man, but he is a real Red Army division commander, he has fought with white bandits for more than ten years, and has fought more battles than you have ever seen a gun, how can he not see through this trick of the little devil!"

That's what he said, but Huang Sicheng himself wondered in his heart, he had been following Ma Zheng for seven or eight years, Ma Zheng had never seen a little devil before, how did he know that the little devil would attack in this way.

But that's not the point, the point is that when the little devil is about to attack, he will suddenly receive gasoline and water falling from the sky, and then he will be on fire, and then the fun will be great.

Soon the Japanese army's tunnels had been dug, and four tunnels one meter deep and half a meter wide led straight to the place fifty meters in front of the pillbox of the Eighth Route Army, and all four hundred soldiers had entered the tunnel, as long as an order was given, these soldiers would jump out of the tunnel and launch a final charge against the pillbox of the Eighth Route Army.

Although there will definitely be some casualties, it only takes seven or eight seconds to run fast at a distance of fifty meters, and once you reach the bunker at a distance of more than ten meters, you will reach the blind spot of the bunker, and then only a dozen explosives bags will be needed to wipe out the entire terrible firepower point.

But just as Nakasa was about to order the soldiers to attack, he saw five or six big openings suddenly opened under the three pillboxes of the Eighth Route Army, and then a large number of white dragons surged out and went straight to the tunnels dug by the Japanese army.

"Water Attack!" Nakasa roared angrily by the river.

Although the semi-enclosed tunnels were not afraid of flooding, the slopes of the mountains washed by the flood were muddy, and it was very difficult for the soldiers to move quickly on the slippery slopes, which meant that the attack would increase casualties.

What's even more terrifying is how did the mysterious commander of the branch know that they would use this method to attack these fire points, you must know that this idea was still improvised by him, could it be that the commander of the branch thought of it from the beginning, this is also too terrifying!

Before Nakasa could come back to his senses by the river, he saw several grenades thrown out, and then a raging fire broke out where the water rushed, and the four long tunnels suddenly became four huge fire dragons, and the soldiers hidden in them were not drowned by the water, but they all became burning men.

"It's not water, it's gasoline!" Kawabe Nakasa said in horror, because only gasoline would burn in such a short time, and seeing the soldiers escape from the tunnel despite being exposed to the guns of the Shina people, Kawabe Nakasa knew that this tunnel attack was a complete miscarriage.

Both Kawabe Nakasa and Sakai Hoji, who was watching the battle from behind, were stunned by the scene in front of them, except for the more than 100 soldiers behind who were not set on fire because they were too far behind, the rest were all set on fire.

After more than 40 minutes, the fire was finally extinguished, and more than half of the more than 300 soldiers who burned the fire were directly burned to death, while the rest suffered extremely severe burns.

Sakai was furious, and at the beginning they suffered two heavy setbacks in succession, losing more than 400 people before and after, equivalent to half a brigade, plus the losses along the way yesterday, the total number of casualties exceeded 700.

In the Japanese army, a complete infantry brigade is only more than 1,000 people, which means that most of his infantry brigade is gone in less than a day and a half. Looking at the only two remaining infantry squadrons of the riverside brigade, the combat effectiveness is no longer than the original one, and this battle is really too bad.

"Xiao Dao, replace that idiot by the river, I order you to take Hades Mountain before two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise military law will be engaged!" Sakai said angrily.

"Hay!"

After saying that, Kojima Nakasa turned around and left with a command knife!

At 10:10 a.m., Kojima, who had succeeded Nakasa on the riverside, officially became the supreme commander of the front, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the headquarters officially became the main force of the attack.

Unlike Nakasa's caution by the riverside, Kojima Nakasa had already understood in the previous observation that these pillboxes entering the mountain pass were not ordinary firepower points at all, but a strong fortress. No matter what conspiracy is used, it is impossible to capture it in a short time, and the only way now is to storm it.

Although the casualties of the assault will certainly be small, what are these casualties compared to washing away the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army?

Whether it is His Excellency the Brigade Commander or His Excellency the Commander of the Harem Jun, what they want is the result, and no one cares about the process. As long as he can finally capture this small Hades Mountain, then the title of Kojima Osa is just around the corner.

Unlike a pure soldier like Nakasa Kawabe, Kojima is more like a speculative politician or businessman because of his family background, but he uses his speculative methods on the battlefield.

As a utilitarian, he doesn't care about the life and death of others, even if those who follow him are his compatriots. In his eyes, the enemy is the capital of merit and promotion, and the soldiers under him are the pawns of him to hunt for merit and obtain promotion capital.

In terms of tactical command ability, Kojima was completely incomparable to the riverside, and he knew this very well, so he did not think of other methods when attacking, but directly ordered his three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron to press up together, and launched an attack at the same time towards the entrance and several gentle slopes on both sides of the mountain in three directions. Before the attack, he, like Kawabe Nakasa, ordered the artillery brigade to carry out artillery support.

It's just that Kojima is relatively more ruthless than the riverside, which is waiting for artillery reinforcements to launch an attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army, but Kojima ordered the troops to brave the artillery brigade to charge.

Not to mention, although there is a certain chance of being accidentally injured by one's own people, it is still good in terms of effect.

The Eighth Route Army obviously did not expect the Japanese army to attack like this, and was caught off guard for a while, coupled with the smoke and dust generated by the artillery, it was suddenly rushed into the bunker group within 30 meters by the Japanese army, and many people were injured by the grenades and other firepower of the little devils.

Fortunately, Huang Sicheng did not expose all the firepower points according to the fighting style taught to him by Ma Zheng, and when the Japanese army rushed up with a roar, he hurriedly ordered all the hidden firepower points to open fire, which repelled the Japanese attack.

For three full hours, Kojima Nakasa organized a total of 6 attacks, an average of one attack every half an hour, but they were all repulsed by Huang Sicheng's troops.

The first line of defense at the foot of Hades was filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and bright red blood flowed down the hillside, staining the hillside red.
