Chapter 531: Prologue to the Great War (3)

"Boom, boom, boom." Just when most of the little devils still chose to continue the march, a cannonball hit the ground. Infantry shells, mortar shells, and explosives packs with this great lethality. It was good to blow up all the Japanese soldiers within a dozen meters of the explosion point.

With the landing of the first shells. This was followed by a series of violent explosions, which sounded in the valley less than three kilometers long. In an instant, the little devils who were still casual just now, before they discovered the danger around them, were swept into the fierce artillery fire by the air waves and flames generated by the explosion.

"Start detonating." After seeing a round of artillery fire. Countless little devils, in order to avoid the shelling of artillery fire, have been lying in their own minefields and explosives areas. The commander of the engineer battalion was excited and shouted loudly at several soldiers around him who were holding detonating devices.

"Yes, battalion commander. Click, click! Immediately, there was the sound of a button turning, and several Demomen pressed down on the blasting device in their hands.

"Boom, boom." Several earth-shattering explosions, overpowering the explosion of shells in the valley, reached the ears of everyone on the entire battlefield. In the midst of a loud bang, fireballs one after another. With a huge heat of heat, it came out of the ground. Those little devils who have just escaped the first round of shelling and feel glad that they have escaped.

The Japanese soldiers, who had just been lying on the ground to avoid the shelling, heard an earth-shattering explosion in their ears. And immediately after. The ground was already shaking. In just an instant, a huge fireball emerged from the ground in front of him. Before he could even scream, he was burned to slag.

With bursts of explosions rang out. The thousands of pounds of explosives buried in the valley were all detonated at once. Countless lying on the ground. A little devil dodging a cannonball. Haven't understood why yet. It was just these explosives that were buried in the ground. Give the fried powder to pieces. And more people were bleeding from the violent air waves and the earth-shattering explosions, and reported directly to their Amaterasu.

With a flurry of explosives detonated by the engineer battalion, coupled with the constant falling shells from the sky. The entire road in the valley was completely enveloped in violent gunsmoke, and everywhere there was a raging fire and billowing smoke from the detonated explosives, and the screams and wails of the Japanese soldiers. It wasn't until twenty minutes later, as the artillery group shelling stopped, that the smoke slowly cleared from the valley road.

The smoke cleared. In the narrow road at the mouth of the valley, dozens of large potholes appeared. Around the pit, there were all charred corpses of Japanese soldiers. As for the further away from the big pit. It's a complete corpse. Lying motionless on the ground, needless to say. The corpses of these motionless little devils were all shocked to death by the violent explosion just now.

As for the middle of the valley, there are dozens of large craters with a depth of more than two meters. Needless to say, these are all caused by the explosion of dozens of pounds of explosives.

"Baga, what's going on? Why this shelling. Why are there so many artillery. And under our feet, what exactly are the people buried in China, and why is it so powerful? Major General Naojiro Amaya, the commander of the 10th Brigade Regiment who was blown to ashes by artillery shells, with the help of Wing Commander Adachi 23 Sa. Got out of the slit of hiding. Under the reflection of the constantly burning flames, looking at the dozens of two-meter-deep pits in front of him and the countless corpses of the imperial soldiers, he said angrily.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander. It's explosives, and what is buried underground must be explosives. An ambush we encountered! Da da da, the brigade commander beware. Just before the answer of the Wing Captain Anda Twenty-three Zuo was finished. Immediately, a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the hill, which had just quieted down. The troops who were lying in ambush on both sides of the hill had received the order to attack. Just now, the road under the mountain was silent, and suddenly, countless muzzles with tongues of fire appeared on both sides.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we are surrounded by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the Anti-Japanese Federation wants to completely annihilate us, my wing, my wing suffered heavy losses in the shelling and explosion just now."

"The two captains have broken jade, and the soldiers have also lost more than 1,000 people, Your Excellency the brigade commander, let's organize the troops to retreat immediately, and while the encirclement of the Anti-Japanese Federation has not yet formed, let's rush out." I didn't have any firepower in front of and behind him. The commander of the 12th Infantry Wing, Anda Twenty-three Zuo, hurriedly persuaded him.

"Yaga! There was no accident in the previous two months, and this kind of thing happened when I came here, it seems that this group of people think I am easy to bully, Baga Yalu, Anda-kun, you coward, our Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and I believe that this ambush of our Chinese people cannot be the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation at all, you lead your wing to attack them, and our Great Japanese Empire does not have the word retreat. ”

"Hey!"

A very striking feature of the Japanese army's mountain warfare is that it grabs the top of the mountain, and does not seize without service. Before the Pingxing Pass in the Guannai robbed the Lao Ye Temple, and in the future, the Guanjiayuan Company grabbed the two highlands of Guanjiayuan and Liushuyuan, and Changle Village was no exception, and the commander of the 12th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Anda 23 Zuo, ordered the troops to directly counterattack the anti-United Nations troops on the mountain beam.

There were no ready-made fortifications on the high grounds, and the soldiers could only lie on the top of the unobstructed slope and return fire at the Japanese troops below. The Japanese army soon concentrated the infantry artillery squads and mortar squads of the 2nd Brigade and bombarded the high ground. The Japanese artillery was very accurate, and mortars were no exception, and after a burst of wild bombardment, it brought great casualties to the soldiers.

The captain of the second brigade, Shimizu Nakasa, heard the gunfire on the hill and was overjoyed, thinking that the Shina troops on the mountain were out of bullets, so he hurriedly pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Press a few and give it!" ”

A squadron of Japanese troops quickly rushed up to the high ground with guns, but unexpectedly, just halfway through, the fire of the anti-coalition on the mountain became fierce again. Light and heavy machine guns roared lowly, powerful bullets blasting through the crowd in clouds of blood. The rapidly advancing skirmish line of the Japanese army came to a halt as if it had crashed against an invisible wall.

Shimizu Nakasa saw that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops. The Japanese soldiers, who were struggling to hold on, heard the call for amnesty, and one by one they climbed the ground and fled down the slope. The machine gunners of the Anti-Union were able to kill, and the bullets chased the Japanese soldiers in the ass and hit them fiercely, leaving red plum blossoms on the hillside.

The battle lasted for about three hours, and looking at the soldiers who kept falling, as well as the remaining ammunition, Major General Naojiro Amaya, the commander of the 10th Infantry Brigade, was anxious, and ordered the commander of the 12th Wing, Adachi 23 Sa, to continue the offensive to attract the attention of the Anti-Union. On the other hand, he ordered Yamaki Nakasa to lead the main force of the 2nd Infantry Brigade to launch a sudden charge against the guard regiment blocking the pocket.
