Chapter 1108: Kill a lot of enemies

Thousands of fighters also followed, rushing out, following Scarface to launch a counterattack, and other counterattacking troops on their flanks also swarmed out, shouting and killing for a while. Under the roar of dense gunfire, the soldiers rained waves of steel bullets at those devils who were retreating.

A large number of devil soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and the casualties increased dramatically.

The tank regiments of the two divisions and hundreds of No. 4 tank fighting vehicles also roared forward, firing artillery while coordinating with the infantry to charge.

The on-board machine guns mounted on the tanks are also roaring wildly, raining down a large number of bullets at the devils.

Thousands of devils were pursued and counter-charged, and they were even more panicked, and just when they were able to retreat to their positions, thousands of poison gas bombs began to emit deadly poison gas one after another, and soon the entire Japanese army position was filled with poison gas, because it was at night, so the devil soldiers did not know that the poisonous gas was permeating at all.

The sound of gas shells bursting through the air was also engulfed by the sound of gunfire, and they were unprepared.

As soon as some of the devils withdrew from their positions, they rushed headlong into the smoke full of poisonous gas and gunsmoke, and soon one by one they foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground poisoned, lost their mobility, and died of anger in a short time.

In addition to the devils who took the initiative to attack the troops at night, many of the devils who stayed in the position also showed signs of poisoning because of the poisonous gas that spread into the tunnels where they were hiding, and the fire groups of trenches and pillboxes showed signs of poisoning.

Due to the very sudden use of the poison gas bombs of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, and the cover of the night and the sound of gunfire, it achieved the effect of absolutely taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.

By the time the Japanese army reacted and went to get gas masks, it was too late.

A large number of Japanese troops were poisoned and lost their combat effectiveness and gradually died.

Scarface led thousands of commandos, the first to rush to the Japanese position, not caring about the poisoned devils all over the ground, they quickly ignited the cluster grenades and explosives packs, and threw them into one after another Japanese fire points, pillboxes, and bunkers that had been unable to attack for a long time a few days ago.

Boom boom! Loud noises came out one after another, and red light continued to rise from the devil's position, and one devil's fortification after another was destroyed.

As more and more dragon tooth soldiers flocked to the mountain, the first line of defense of the Japanese army in the mountain pass was basically lost, and the tens of thousands of devil elites who attacked plus the first-line defense troops, a total of more than 15,000 people, lost more than two-thirds.

There were less than 5,000 devils left, and they reacted quickly and retreated along the underground tunnel to defend the second line of defense.

In the Japanese headquarters, Takashi Sato was shocked by the dense gunfire coming from the front and the shouts of the Shina army, and he stood up suddenly, just about to go out to see what was happening.

A Japanese adjutant ran in in a panic, and before he had time to salute, he said: "Your Excellency General, something is wrong, the first line of defense has been broken by the Chinese army!" ”

"Nani? What's going on? Takashi Sato was taken aback and said, "Didn't I order the troops to cover and retreat alternately?" How could the first line of defense be broken by the Chinese army?! Yes? ”

The devil adjutant said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency General, as soon as our offensive stopped, the Chinese army launched a counterattack, and the cunning ones actually used poison gas bombs against us, and they were caught off guard, and the front-line defending troops and the attacking troops who were in retreat suffered heavy casualties, and the whole line retreated!" Now the first line of defense has been occupied by the Chinese army! "How many troops have we lost?" Sato Takashi asked with a monstrous anger, compared to the loss of the defensive position, he was just concerned about the loss of troops, because as long as there were enough troops, he could completely retreat to the second line of defense and wait for the opportunity to regain the lost position.

The devil adjutant lowered his head and did not dare to face the questioning gaze of Sato Taka, and replied: "More than 11,000 people!" The Imperial Army, which now retreated from the front to the second-line defensive positions, was less than two wings. ”

Hearing this, Sato Taka could no longer suppress his monstrous anger, and roared angrily: "Yaga Yalu! More than 11,000 people? Less than a night? This is equivalent to the annihilation of 10,000 elite soldiers who participated in the night attack, plus more than 1,000 defensive troops? ”

Sato Taka felt that his heart was dripping blood, he knew this, and he didn't do any night attacks when he was killed, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice, and this business would lose a lot of money.

However, the matter has come to this point, the chief of staff of Sato Eagle hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Excellency General, please don't be angry, now is not the time to be angry, the front line is lost, we should immediately make the right response and stick to the second line of defense, as long as the second line of defense is still in our hands, then the Luoyan Mountain defense line is still as stable as Mount Tai."

If the Chinese army wants to go south to the Han River, it is still unattainable! ”

Takashi Sato quickly regained his composure, and said with a gloomy face: "Order the reserve troops to immediately enter the battle, hold the second line of defense with all their might, and blow up the underground communication tunnels connecting the forward positions!" At the same time, the logistics unit was ordered to distribute gas masks to all Imperial soldiers, and all Imperial soldiers should be able to carry gas masks with them in the future. ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff and the adjutant bowed their heads at the same time, turned and led the way away.

The Japanese army's response was quite rapid, and more than 10,000 of its reserve troops were dispatched in a timely manner, forming a strong defensive force with tens of thousands of devils in the second-line defense troops, and at the same time, its logistics troops were also quickly dispatched, and the gas masks were snatched by the attacking troops of the Dragon's Tooth Corps and distributed to the hands of the Japanese army's front-line troops.

With gas masks, poison gas was ineffective against the Japanese army, and the battle between the two sides turned into an offensive and defensive battle in which one side defended and the other side attacked.

Although the morale of the Japanese army plummeted and the morale of the army was in turmoil, it had strong and perfect fortifications to rely on, and although the Dragon's Tooth Corps had a rainbow morale and had the advantage of equipment and firepower, it could not form an overwhelming advantage in the dark night.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour, and the assault team led by Scarface once broke into a place less than 100 meters away from the main bunker firepower group of the second defense line of the devils, but in the end it fell short because the Japanese army's crossfire network was too dense and the commandos suffered too many casualties.

Scarface himself was also shot in the left hand and right leg by the devil's bullet and was seriously injured, if it weren't for Wang Erbao and a few fighters, who slightly suppressed the devil's heavy machine gunner with excellent marksmanship and rescued him back at a critical moment, Scarface might have died honorably on the spot.

After Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao learned of the situation, they immediately ordered the counterattack troops to stop the offensive and withdraw the enemy's first line of defense that had been occupied to defend themselves to prevent the devils from counterattacking.

Shocked to hear that Scarface was seriously injured and refused to get out of the line of fire, Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao came to the front line to visit and greet him, looking at Scarface, who was lying on the stretcher and was not honest, shouting that he would continue to fight with the little devil.

Jiang Haidong and Liu Yidao glanced at each other and walked towards him with a smile.
