Perhaps it was Shunroku Hatata's words that worked, or perhaps the Japanese thought that the Wehrmacht planes and artillery would not work at night. In short, the Japanese army chose to support the position very quickly.

This plunged the 14th Division, which had just rushed to its position and had not yet cleared out the stubborn enemy, in a bitter battle as they had to clear the Japanese troops in the tunnels on the one hand, and deal with the Japanese troops who counterattacked on the other.

The battle was fought extremely hard, and the Japanese army already had the advantage of fortifications. There are plenty of machine gun holes in the rear and on the sides that are constantly spraying bullets, and there is not much room for dodging in the tunnels.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the 14th Division could only continue to use their lives to open up one passage after another. The fighters who stopped the Japanese counterattack on the position kept setting up machine guns in an attempt to stop the Japanese from the position.

The whole hill was filled with gunfire, and the Japanese troops in the tunnel continued to counterattack the 14th Division through shooting holes, tunnel corners, and bunkers.

Under the light of the guns, you can't tell where the bullets are coming from. Only the veterans found the Japanese troops hidden in the trenches according to the ballistics and firelight, and then cleared them one by one.

"Boom!!" A bunker was thrown into a bundle of blasters by the soldiers of the 14th Division, and the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were blown up into a bunch of flesh and blood before they could even scream.

The Japanese bunkers above the "Tutu Tu ......" pair of positions formed a crossfire through the firing holes, and were trying to suppress the soldiers of the 14th Division in the tunnel.

I saw a man suddenly make a few gestures, and then several soldiers of the 14th Division suddenly released the light machine gun diagonally and "da-......" to return fire.

And then. A strong man stood up and threw it hard! A grenadier was thrown in front of the Japanese shooting hole, and then "Boom! "It exploded!

Bursts of screams suddenly came from the shooting hole, and the soldiers of the 14th Division did not let go of this opportunity. Several fighters took advantage of the Japanese machine guns to temporarily mute fire. One jumped and rolled and pounced under the shooting hole.

The grenade was pulled apart, and it was desperately stuffed into the shooting hole as if it didn't want money.

......A series of explosions sounded in the Japanese bunker, and three of the five soldiers who rushed up were swept away by the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army on the way, lying in a pool of blood.

Such a fight could be seen everywhere in the fortifications, and countless soldiers roared and rushed to every Japanese firing point. One by one, they were completely pulled out.

The TNT explosive pack that I made in a hurry was also put to use, and I opened the fuse and threw it directly into the Japanese bunker. The explosives package mixed with steel balls, ironclad and other things exploded suddenly, and the huge power even made the entire position tremble.

"Damn! Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!! A battalion commander roared with red eyes. Of the more than 500 warriors he brought with him, less than 200 were still standing.

The ferocity of the war is evident from this. And the most serious losses were the Japanese troops who cleaned up the trenches. In addition, the Japanese troops outside were constantly trying to break through the position. The internal and external attacks caused huge casualties to the 14th Division.

"Shout a**! Lao Tzu's brothers are cleaning up! You shout a hairy shout! The other battalion commander was also unable to show weakness, and the gun in his hand turned around and scolded while shooting: "Don't you want to hurry up?!" These mongrels are more difficult to deal with than ground rats, and it takes time to kill them!! ”

"Boom!" While the battalion commander was talking, a shell from a 37mm anti-aircraft gun exploded around him! Suddenly. The battalion commander lay in a pool of blood.

"Battalion Commander~~" The warriors beside him roared like wounded beasts. Trying to rush over and pick up his battalion commander. But he saw the battalion commander in the pool of blood waving his hand fiercely.

"Lao Tzu is not dead! Serve that dog's bunker to Lao Tzu!! Listening to the battalion commander's heart-wrenching voice, these soldiers were relieved.

Immediately, seven or eight grenadiers blasted at the hole where the shell had just been fired. Although the grenadier is easy to use, it requires experience.

This weapon is a completely different concept in the hands of veterans and in the hands of new recruits, as it is now. Seven or eight grenadiers had three grenades smashed into the Japanese firing holes. That's what veterans are capable of.

"Boom ......" but there was a muffled sound from the shooting hole, followed by a series of screams. At this time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and those soldiers could finally see their battalion commander.

One of his legs was gone, and the stubble was exposed to the muscles. There was blood all over the trousers. His face was also cut by shrapnel. The blood is still bubbling from the body.

And the battalion commander's other foot was not intact, not only bleeding but also twisted into a strange shape. This should be a fracture. It is even likely to be a comminuted fracture.

"Battalion commander......" A man's tears fell suddenly, but the seriously injured battalion commander was still roaring with anger: "What a cat pee?!" Lao Tzu is not dead yet! Hurry up and kill the enemy!! ”

Gritting their teeth, the men rushed to the next corner. Some of the fighters pounced on the shooting hole, stuffing the blasting canisters and explosives packs on their backs into it.

A frightened shout of the Japanese soldier was heard from the shooting hole, but then it was completely silenced after a burst of explosions.

"Assault!!" There was a heart-rending roar from the Japanese position, but I saw that those Japanese soldiers came out to try to suppress the attack of the 14th Division, and some Japanese soldiers even had grenades or explosives tied to their bodies.

Rushing out, they rushed towards the soldiers of the 14th Division, and behind them the Japanese machine guns also began to cover with fire. The roar of machine guns rang out. The Japanese army is going to fight for their lives!

And the defensive shooting holes above the position were constantly added regardless of life and death, and some of the Japanese shooting holes that had just been knocked out began to be entered by new Japanese troops, and most of these shooting holes were connected.

Japanese troops could move from one bunker to another, and they could even calmly move to other firing positions. The positions that had just been occupied were once again recaptured by the Japanese army.

The sound of ......machine guns rang out again, and the soldiers of the 14th Division, who had occupied positions, fell in a pool of blood under the Japanese machine guns.

The momentum of the offensive was overwhelming, and several soldiers of the 14th Division fell into the encirclement of the Japanese army at once. Under the fire of the Japanese army, most of the soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

And the Japanese troops in the corners of the forward tunnels and bunkers took the opportunity to rush out and reoccupy their positions. They even took out all the heavy machine guns, grenadiers and other weapons to build a new firepower network.

The Japanese army, which had gone crazy with "boom ......", even took out a large number of Type 99 anti-tank bombs that had been stored on the position to deal with tanks, and desperately thought about throwing them away from the 14th Division.

The power of these bombs, which were originally used against tanks, can be imagined. After a flash of explosive fire, most of the warriors who had rushed to the upper firing hole fell in a pool of blood.

The Japanese, having reoccupied part of the fortifications, began to launch a counterattack against the 14th Division, and the fire inside the firing holes was increased. Although they lost some anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns, they still had a lot of light machine guns and grenadiers, as well as the Type 99 anti-tank bombs.

After a chaotic battle, the Japanese army actually took a foothold in the fortifications. Even with explosive shells and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, they began to gradually snatch back the fortifications.

At this time, the Japanese troops who came from the second-line positions were also mad, and despite the rain of bullets, people always stood up and threw grenades at the position of the 14th Division.

For a time, the pressure on the Wehrmacht soldiers on the positions became extremely high. Under the internal and external attacks of the Japanese army, the positions originally occupied began to crumble.

"Ge Lao Tzu Land! Follow Lao Tzu!! A tall company commander with blood on his head roared and shouted, "Grab a!" ”

But he saw that the company commander with more than a dozen soldiers, with blasters and grenades strapped to his body, pounced on those dark forts. A few blasters were thrown in, and after the explosion, the Tiger assault rifle in his hand was swept wildly.

Then the soldiers followed the company commander three or two times to open the bombed loose shooting hole and rushed in, as soon as they entered, they saw a swarthy archway passage on the side, and the company commander waved his hand, and the explosives bags and blasting canisters on the soldiers' bodies were suddenly stuffed into the fortifications to expose the swarthy passage.

"Boom, boom, boom......" After a frantic explosion, the dark castle was suddenly filled with gunsmoke. Screams and moans came from the dark passageway.

Seeing that this worked, the fighters learned. Groups of soldiers roared and blasted open the Japanese bunkers, and then blew up some of the connecting passages inside.

For a time, the battlefield was once again a stalemate. The current situation is that the 14th Division has seized half of its position by virtue of its superiority in surprise attack and offensive firepower, but the other half is still competing with the Japanese army.

At the same time, the support of the Japanese army was also increasing. The Japanese troops on the second-line positions continued to rush towards the first-line positions like crazy, and the guns rang out in one after another, and even the positions were dyed by the light of the guns.

Although the 14th Division seized half of the position, some of the dead fortifications above the position were still occupied by the Japanese. They still need to completely clear out those Japanese troops before they can really occupy this position.

The Japanese bunkers were strangely set up, and there were no entrances and exits from the rear. All entrances and exits are installed in the bunker, and there is no way to enter the bunker even if you attack the rear. Only by blowing up his shooting holes and clearing a path will it be possible to get inside.

The support of the Japanese troops in front of the 14th Division dragged most of the troops, and the fortifications below could only be cleared step by step. In order to completely destroy them, the soldiers could only brave the rain of bullets to rush to the shooting hole, stuff blasters and other weapons into it, blow up a hole and then enter the bunker to blow up the passage.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened...... (To be continued.) )
