The defenders seemed to have exhausted their strength for the time being, or perhaps they did not expect to inadvertently create excellent conditions for the enemy to attack. The offensive of the 10th Squadron progressed unexpectedly.

Despite the sporadic machine-gun fire that continued to be fired along the way, Captain Soichiro Wakatsuki managed to bring most of the soldiers to the rear of the rock wall.

The soft soil layer of just a few hundred meters, constantly jumping and dodging, and the sudden acceleration and stopping movements, made the captain can't help but gasp. But turning his head and looking at both sides, the result of successfully breaking through the dense fire block with only one or twenty people was lost, and such a result was exciting.

Before he knew it, he and most of the Japanese soldiers had quietly increased their casualty tolerance. The mortality rate of less than 10% is a very successful breakthrough.

The stone walls that were blasted out were more than one meter high, two or three meters in height. After the surface layer of soft sand and gravel has been completely peeled away, the traces of ash and the rock with steel plates deeply embedded in it all indicate that something terrible has happened before.

The strong and pungent smell of fire and medicine is still emanating. It makes the tip of the nose itch, but it really can't stop it from drilling into the lung tubes.

Wakatsuki Soichiro rubbed his nose vigorously, leaned his hand on the wall, and cautiously glanced up from a collapsed gap.

"Horn!" With a crisp gunshot, a bullet hit his scalp and knocked off his military cap, almost an inch away from his head.

"What a great marksmanship!"

The captain was terrified. It took him less than a second to stretch his neck, and he was actually spotted by the other party and aimed and shot. Such a suzhì can be called a super-first-class elite soldier and marksman. It looks like the other party's individual soldier zhì. Not the average high.

But. That's it. Since we have broken through to the nose. It only takes a dozen seconds to see the short distance between life and death, and see what tricks you can play.

He carefully bent down and ran quickly down the undulating rock wall to the end, cheering at the exhausted soldiers along the way: "You have done a good job! It seems that the enemy's guns are almost depleted! At such a distance, we can surely storm their trenches with a swift onslaught. ”

The apprehensive soldiers gave him a reassuring smile. Even if the appearance is actually more embarrassing than crying, it can also show their current state of mind. That's pretty determined.

Run to the end, then turn back and say the same thing to the person on the other side, and give the shivering young man a powerful slap in the face—not a slap, of course.

The squadron leader, squad leader, and first-class officer of the Japanese army are all the best. It was they who sustained the whole team. Such signs are now very clear.

Every lieutenant and lieutenant has an extremely strong mentality of seeking victory. Even in the face of fierce battles and heavy casualties, they were still able to persist in the offensive. In this respect, it has fully possessed the essence of modern soldiers. Compared with the Qing army, it is by no means a level.

Obviously, there are hundreds of corpses under his feet that have not completely cooled down his comrades. This group of Japanese troops still did not give up their desire to win. Under the comfort of Soichiro Wakatsuki, he inhaled heavily. Steady your mind, check your bullets and bayonets, and prepare to attack.

In the distance below the mountain, Takeda Xiu Yamanakasa quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In this short period of time, he almost forgot to breathe.

Whether you can attack the top of the hill or not and seize the first line of defense is crucial. The huge casualties before him brought him great psychological pressure. No matter how heroic the Imperial soldiers were, the endless and painful blows would lead to the eventual collapse.

Fortunately, it now appears that progress is more desirable than expected.

Looking up at the west, it was about to get dark, and if you seize this pass before then, you will still have time to attack Huangzhou at night. The overall plan will not be delayed.

"Keep attacking!"

He waved his arm at the first brigade of Mori Jing Shaozuo, and the other party's head was slammed: "Ha! Here we go! ”

Mori Shosa is also an officer with a strong desire to fight. As the backbone of the 21st Wing, this person is more impulsive and brave than Okuyama Yoshisho. Originally, he wanted to be the first to take the lead, but he was pressed down by Takeda.

As it turned out, he was right. If Mori had attacked with all his might at the beginning, I am afraid that the casualties would have been greater. That guy's head doesn't bend very well sometimes.

But now, it's time for him to exert his strong and determined will to fight!

Mori Kei Shaozo hurried to the front and signaled to the distant mountain. The headquarters of Captain Ogasawara Matsumuma of the 4th Squadron of the second wave of the attack immediately protruded forward, pounced to a position of about 300 meters, and with the help of messy cover, began to fire intensively at the top of the mountain.

At the same time, the only four remaining mountain guns, after moving back to a more hidden place, made a test shot to ensure that the location of the explosion would not fall on their own heads, followed by the four guns in unison, and the booming explosions began to rise continuously on the mountainside.

Hundreds of single-shot rifles fired rapidly, and the thud was like fried beans, and tiny explosions suddenly rose from the front of the trench.

In particular, the concentration of more than a dozen guns, specifically aimed at the blocking and striking of the exposed machine gun nest, although the effect is average and messy, can also cause similar interference to the other side.

At this moment, Soichiro Wakatsuki shouted: "All attention, assault!" ”

The frenzied shouts erupted again in the valley!

The captain's agile reflex rushed out of the gap in the slope, and the gun in his hand did not need to be aimed, and he fired according to his feeling, and then rolled to the side, rushing towards a shallow crater that was blown open by a cannonball!

On the mountainside, machine gun nests are spraying flames again! Messy bullets staggered and swept around, sometimes colliding in the air and splashing sparks!

More than 200 Japanese soldiers of the 10th Squadron, like monkeys scalded on their buttocks by hot water, rushed out of their bunkers with a roar. Not only are they fast, but they are also very purposeful, and they hide in the place they had seen earlier. Although it is not enough to hide completely, it can also make the people above need to spend a little more time aiming at it.

And that's only about a second or two, but it's enough for them to aim at each other and fight back!

A mere 100-metre interval. Trained soldiers of the Imperial Army. That's the distance at which you can fully exert your precision marksmanship. On such terrain. Even if the other party only sticks out a head, whoever kills who is not necessarily necessarily!

Almost all of the firepower was drawn to most people, including the captain! Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 4th squadron in the rear decisively jumped out and rushed to the bottom of the rock wall with a hula la. What a hideaway it is! The opponent's artillery missed, the grenadiers did not threaten, and the bullets did not hit ... It couldn't be more ideal!

As if caught off guard by their elaborate offensive tactics. The blocking from above is obviously a little flustered!

There are targets all over the mountains, near and far, so that the machine guns don't know who to hit first.

And the soldiers in the trenches, because of the sudden pressure on the enemy in front of them, dense and accurate shooting, they did not have time to think much. As a result, the recruit's problems began to be exposed!

This time, Huang Lebo really didn't care about the shooting of the recruits. He deliberately told the veterans to shut up and let the recruits deal with the oncoming attacks on their own.

At such a close distance, hundreds of rifle shots. The bullets that kept whizzing in their ears were a reminder to the recruits. Their lives could be lost at any moment!

Even if everyone has a GK80 steel helmet with top-notch defense on their heads, and a tactical horse clamp stuffed with alloy steel plates that are strong enough to withstand modern bullets, the fear of death in the blink of an eye still inevitably grabs their hearts!

Under the tension, the movements are inevitably out of shape. Pulling the bolt and firing in a daze, the accuracy plummeted.

That's why Yang Hao didn't equip them with five or six and a half at first. With the behavior of the recruits, they can unconsciously shoot all the bullets in one go. Apart from waste, little has been achieved.

They must go through the baptism of war, when they are familiar with the battlefield, in order to effectively use more advanced weapons.

Such a messy reaction, in the eyes of the Japanese commanders below, is an unprecedented benefit!

The overjoyed Wakatsuki Soichiro did not hesitate to shout to reload the soldiers, and his own sharp horn kept shooting, leading people to rush forward bravely.

Eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters!

He could clearly see the immature faces of the opposing soldiers, and he couldn't hide the nervousness and fear! The bullets that came over became more and more out of order.

The most important thing is that he found that the other party is not manpower at all! In the trenches hundreds of meters long, there was at best only the strength of a small group. Each person needs to defend several meters wide, which is certainly not enough!

Great opportunity!

Wakatsuki Soichiro waved his hand forward, and was about to rush forward in a hurry, when suddenly there was a burst of shouts from above: "Grenade!" ”

"Buzz!"

His field of vision was suddenly filled with hundreds of Type 67 wooden-handled grenades rolling in the opposite direction!

It's that terrible explosion mine again! The captain did not hesitate to turn around and dodge, and the grenades that were thrown in chaos exploded with a bang at a distance of between thirty and fifty meters!

The blazing air waves, the crumbling sand and stones, formed a raging wave and swept his back fiercely! The crackling pain made him grin and almost scream!

But Wakatsuki Soichiro really held back, and even forced himself to look up, looking at the place in sight, many soldiers were blown up and pounced, screaming again and again, and the casualties skyrocketed!

The next moment, a second wave of smoking grenades swooped down again, and the captain ran out of options, turned around and withdrew at a shout—any more of them would have been blown to pieces. The enemy's weapons are prepared, much more than expected.

Hula was swept away, and they pushed eighty meters away in one go, followed by the sudden density of accurate bullets and forced to hide under the stone wall.

This time the attack failed. But Soichiro Wakatsuki was not disappointed, because at this time, nearly 200 people of the 4th Squadron had also successfully moved here. Their total strength is almost twice as thick.

He was full of confidence and thought that the next attack would definitely break through!

At this moment, behind the slopes on both flanks of the position, four thick bunkers were quietly uncovered, revealing four seamless steel pipes as thick as gas canisters! (To be continued......)
