"60 meters... 50 meters..."Just as the commander of the first battalion counted to 50 meters, almost everyone of the several company commanders raised their nervous hearts to their throats. Because, at this moment, they can already clearly see the hideous face of the army. What made these company commanders even more anxious was that if their battalion did not grasp it well, it would only take more than ten seconds for the army to rush to their own positions and mix with their soldiers in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Although, at this time, everyone has full belief in their own wrong combat effectiveness. However, with the frequency of head-on encounters with the Japanese army, these company commanders believed that even if they were able to win in the end, the entire unit would also lose the same number of people as the Japanese army. And such an outcome is impossible to accept for a battalion that needs to hold its position.

However, to everyone's disappointment, their battalion commander did not give the order to open fire because of everyone's urgency, and his eyes were still motionless, staring at the footsteps of the troops charging at the front. However, the only thing that changed was that the battalion commander, while observing the enemy situation, gently loaded the audience's machine gun bullets and prepared to open fire..."45 meters... 40 meters... 35 meters, 30 meters...."At this moment, the palms of all the fighters holding their weapons were sweating because of the fewer and fewer numbers in the mouth of the battalion commander. The corners of the first battalion commander's mouth finally showed a smile without everyone knowing.

Finally, when everyone couldn't wait, the commander of the first battalion shouted loudly at the soldiers who were already ready for battle hidden in the trenches. At the same time, the first one ejected his head from the trench and quickly mounted the light machine gun in his hand on the trench in front of him. Facing the little devil in front of him, he pulled the trigger of the machine gun and began to shoot indiscriminately.

At the same time, all the heavy machine gunners who received the order, in groups of several people, also quickly mounted a heavy machine gun on the machine gun position that had been selected long ago. At the same time, the co-shooter quickly inserted the bullet chain in his hand into the slot of the machine gun's ammunition. The machine gun shooter quickly loaded the bullets, and began to pull the trigger at the little devil who was already close in front of him, and scattered a bullet into the formation where the army was....

As for the riflemen, it's even simpler. As the battalion commander's order was given, he immediately straightened up from his position. Facing the unusually dense formation of the little devils in front of him, he didn't need any aiming at all, and shot out the bullets that had already been loaded in the rifle... The dense tongue of fire shot by 7 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns instantly weaved an impermeable bullet net in front of the little devil. Under the barrier of this dense bullet net, the more than 60 little devils who charged in the first row all fell in a pool of blood in less than five seconds before the soldiers opened fire.

At the same time, because the little devil at this time was charging at his fastest speed, hoping that he would be the first to rush to the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, he did not expect that he might be attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, in the face of the sudden blow, these little devils have forgotten the concealment they should at least have. These arrogant little devils still haven't reacted from their excitement.

However, such a slow response of the Yue army provided a very great convenience to the soldiers on the position. Looking at the little devil who was still stunned and holding his body and charging, the soldiers did not hesitate, and shot the bullets in the magazine at the little devil in front of them with their fastest shooting speed... Finally, the dense gunfire pulled these little devils back in a state of complete excitement... Looking at the dark night, more than a dozen tongues of fire suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at his comrades who were lying in pools of blood around him. Those little devils who came back from the excitement immediately instinctively lay on the ground, and luckily avoided the dense rain of bullets above their heads.

However, at this moment, after a battalion of fierce blows, the little devil found it sadly. In the attack of the Eighth Route Army just now, there were nearly 200 soldiers of the Imperial Army in one of his squadrons, and at this time there were only scattered and almost a small squad of troops. What's more, the remaining squad, suppressed by the intensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army, was motionless, and could not even do the least to fight back.

"The machine gun continues to fire at me, all the riflemen, immediately drop bombs, two grenades per person, and blast the remaining little devils back to their hometown..." The dense rain of bullets fired from his own position could not have any lethal effect at all. The commander of the first battalion commanded loudly to the soldiers around him.

A slight whistling sound reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield through the dense sound of bullets. More than 300 grenades, one by one, were thrown out of the trenches by the fighters as the battalion commander gave the order. With his powerful terrain, almost every fighter was able to throw a grenade at a distance of fifty meters.

Suddenly, at a distance of thirty to fifty meters from the forward position, it was completely covered by a raindrop of grenades. And looking at the dense grenades that suddenly appeared above their heads, those little devils who were still feeling a little lucky that they could survive immediately let out a desperate scream.

"Boom, boom...."A dense grenade explosion quickly muffled the screams of the little devil before he died. Under the attack of such dense grenades, those surviving little devils were either killed on the spot, or in the process of dodging grenades, they were hit by the bullets flying above their heads, and fell in a pool of blood one after another....

Two rounds of grenade throwing, combined with explosions, took less than half a minute. With the explosion of the last grenade in front of the position, the machine gunners, who were firing frantically on the position, also stopped this ammunition-wasting fire at the command of the battalion commander. Suddenly, the entire battlefield fell into deathly tranquility... After the continuous explosion of more than 600 grenades, the dozens of little devils left in a squadron, without any doubt, all fell in a pool of blood, not even a single wounded soldier. Under the light of the bonfire ignited by the explosion of a grenade on the battlefield, a battlefield like Shura's hell appeared in the eyes of everyone on both sides of the enemy.

"Vomit...", with a pungent smell of blood, reached the front line. The soldiers, who had never been through such a big battle, immediately lay down in the trenches and began to vomit. Even some of the recruits endured the pungent smell of blood, but when they saw the battlefield dozens of meters away, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and corpses and internal organs, they began to vomit.

"Order everyone to retreat immediately into the anti-artillery hole, according to the temper of the little devil, after learning that one of his squadrons has been wiped out, he will definitely launch a retaliatory artillery bombardment... Immediately carry out the order and retreat..." Looking at the hellish battlefield of Shura, the first battalion commander did not have any pity. Because those who are left with large bones are none other than little devils who don't even live in animals.

"Yes, battalion commander..."Several company commanders took the order one after another, took all the weapons and ammunition, mixed with the recruits who were vomiting and diarrhea, and quickly hid in the anti-artillery hole....

At this moment, the captain of the First Brigade of the Japanese Army, Matsuda Shaosa, the commander of the Second Infantry Wing, Ishiguro Daisa, and other officers all stood on the ground in a daze, looking at the battlefield not far away. All the commanders of the entire 2nd Infantry Wing above the rank of captain were petrified at the same time..."Baga! How so, impossible, absolutely impossible. This is not true? "I saw with my own eyes that an elite infantry squadron was wiped out without even a chance to counterattack under the intensive machine-gun fire of the Eighth Route Army. Matsuda Shaoza, the captain of the First Brigade, who had been following the entire battle, asked in disbelief. At the same time, the hands holding the binoculars couldn't help but start to tremble.

"Your Excellency the Captain, the Wing Commander has sent a telegram to the Wing Command immediately..."Just as Matsuda Shaoza's words were finished, a herald ran up to the captain at an inopportune time and said loudly. Although, at this moment, Matsuda Shaozo wants to kill people very much, to vent the anger in his heart. However, after seeing that the herald in front of him turned out to be the personal guard of the wing commander, he immediately gave up this idea.

Because, he knows, at this moment, the reason why the wing captain is so anxious to find himself. Thinking of this, the captain Matsuda Shaoza's forehead couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat. Quickly following the herald, he ran towards the wing headquarters not far away.

"Yaga, Matsuda-kun, your great stupidity, an elite infantry squadron, is buried because of your stupidity, and you have to pay for your stupidity. Now I order you, for the sake of those soldiers of the Imperial Army, right here, to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. You are no longer qualified, as an officer in the Empire. Looking at the captain of the first brigade in front of him, Wing Captain Ishiguro Daisa scolded loudly.

"Hey, Your Excellency Captain, I will definitely not insult the prestige of the Imperial Army. However, before I die, I would like to ask His Excellency the Wing Commander to give me another chance, I will lead the remaining three infantry squadrons of the First Brigade to capture the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and avenge all the officers and men of the First Squadron. Please approve the last request of the Wing Commander..."After a look of despair, Captain Matsuda Shaosa hurriedly begged the Wing Captain in front of him.

"Yo Xi, for the sake of your many military exploits for the Empire, I will give you another chance. If you can lead your subordinates and successfully occupy the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, I will not be responsible for the battle that just happened. However, if you can't take the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, then, Matsuda-kun, I don't have anything to do? Wing Captain Ishiguro Osa nodded and took a deep look at Matsuda Shaosa in front of him.

"Hi, please rest assured, Your Excellency, Wing Commander. If I can't occupy the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, I will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor directly in front of the position of the Eighth Route Army..."Matsuda Shaosa replied loudly.

"Yo Xi, Matsuda-kun, I believe in your ability, and immediately go back to organize your troops and prepare for the attack. I will order the artillery group to provide you with artillery support for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, the troops will begin to attack. Because of the limited time, I can only give you a maximum of ten minutes to attack. In response to Matsuda Shaosa's answer, Wing Captain Ishiguro Osaku nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, thank you for the artillery support of Your Excellency the Wing Commander, you will definitely live up to the expectations of Your Excellency the Wing Commander..."Hearing that there were still ten minutes of artillery support, Captain Matsuda Shaozo couldn't help but be full of excitement on his face, and hurriedly assured.

And just when Matsuda Shaoza, with the order, had just returned to the forefront of the position, the shelling of the artillery brigade had already begun. As in the shelling just now, 20 pieces of artillery of various kinds, as if they were shells that don't need money, began to desperately pour shells one after another on the mountain beam at an altitude of less than 100 meters.

However, although the artillery fire of the Yue Army was very fierce, the entire forward position of the Eighth Route Army was caught in a sea of fire in the dense artillery fire. However, such artillery fire had no effect on the soldiers of the first battalion, who were all hidden in the anti-artillery holes. After the first round of artillery bombardment and the battle just now, not a single person in the entire battalion, whether new or veterans, was no longer afraid of the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army. Each soldier sat quietly in the anti-artillery hole, recuperating and replenishing enough physical strength for a possible battle.

The 10-minute artillery bombardment was very short for the Yue army that was preparing to attack. Just three infantry squadrons, under the personal orders of the captain Matsuda Shaosa, were organized into three offensive waves. Between each attacking formation, the distance between them is 50 meters. At the same time, each attacking Potts was divided into three skirmish lines, and the distance between the skirmishers became the regular ten meters.

More importantly, in order to avoid the huge casualties caused by the Eighth Route Army's large amount of heavy firepower to his own troops, Matsuda Shaozo paid special attention to the cooperation of all branches of his brigade. In each of the attacking potts, the machine gunners and grenadiers who were covering the fire were lined up in the third skirmish. Under the premise of fully protecting the security of these technical arms, suppress and destroy all kinds of heavy firepower that may arise in the Eighth Route Army.

As the artillery group's artillery fire began to extend, the heavy machine gun squadron, which had once again moved forward fifty meters, immediately began to suppress the minimum firepower. Under the command of the captain Matsuda Shaoza, almost every heavy machine gun bullet was close to the edge of the trenches in the forward position under the influence of the army. As long as the Eighth Route Army dares to show its head, needless to say, it will immediately be burst into the brains of the rain of bullets..."The warriors of this empire, now I order, start attacking... Kill to give..."Looking at the offensive formation that he personally arranged, the captain Matsuda Shaosa's face was full of confidence. He drew his adjutant knife and commanded loudly to all the officers and men of the second squadron in front of him.

"Kill and give..."Two hundred little devils, under the condition that the captain personally supervised the battle, shouted slogans, lined up in a neat offensive formation, and began to charge under the cover of heavy machine guns....and just when the second squadron rushed out of the position fifty meters away, the third squadron also joined the charge under the command of the captain Matsuda Shaosa... In the end, the 4th Squadron, also under the personal command of Matsuda Shaosa, joined the charge.

"Battalion commander, instructor, the little devil has begun to attack...."Just when the artillery fire of the Yue army began to extend, and the sound of heavy machine gun fire of the Yue army sounded at the foot of the mountain. In the trenches outside the anti-artillery hole, the reminders of the surviving soldiers immediately sounded.

"Comrades, hurry up, enter the position right away....the little devils have begun to attack...."Immediately, the voices of commanders at all levels sounded on the position. One by one, under the command of commanders at all levels, armed with their own weapons, rushed out of the anti-artillery holes where they were hiding and ran towards their combat positions.

However, to the surprise of the soldiers, just when several fighters had just entered the trenches, sticking out their heads to observe the enemy's situation. The heavy machine gun squadron of the army, close to the edge of the trench, fired bullets, immediately smashed the heads of several soldiers. Several soldiers, before they even saw the shadow of the army, all died heroically..."Damn, the little devil's marksmanship is so accurate." Comrades, pay attention, the few soldiers who have just died, everyone can see that the enemy's marksmanship is very accurate, and no one can show their heads without my orders... Remember, you must pay attention to concealment and protect yourself, so that you can better fight the little devils...."Seeing several soldiers whose brains were burst by the bullets of the heavy machine guns of the Yue Army, the commander of the first battalion shouted loudly at the soldiers who were quickly entering the position while feeling heartache.

In less than a minute, except for a few unlucky fighters, who were shot and died. The remaining 450 soldiers of the entire battalion were all hidden in the trenches, waiting for the arrival of the army. As the commander of the entire battle, the commander of the first battalion found a blind spot for the army's heavy machine gun and slowly stretched out his head.

"My mother, I just lost a squadron of little devils, why are these soldiers planning to jump off the wall in a hurry, a full five or six hundred little devils, the commander of the army really looks down on our battalion..."
