In the temporary division headquarters of the 124th Division of the Japanese Army, the division commander Lieutenant General Fukuda, who saw the entire battle. At this moment, Zheng Tie blushed and waited for the specific report of the captain of the Second Infantry Brigade in front of him.

looked at the angry face in front of him, a pair of eyes, and only stared at his division commander. The captain of the Second Infantry Brigade said with a panicked face.

"Report to the division commander. It was because of the lowliness that the enemy was too light, which led to the setback of the attack of the Second Infantry Brigade and fell for the tricks of the Eighth Route Army. In the end, more than 400 soldiers of the Imperial Army fell on the way to the charge. The lowly pleaded that His Excellency the division commander could give the lowly a chance again. He must lead the remaining troops to rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army to avenge the warriors of the Jade Broken Empire. ”

"Underestimate the enemy, and underestimate the enemy. Don't you know that it was your underestimated enemy that eventually led to more than a thousand imperial warriors falling on the battlefield within a few hours? You are simply a disgrace to the Great Japanese Empire, and this revenge, I, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, will definitely avenge it. However, because of your successive command mistakes, you are no longer qualified to lead the troops. Go down, and I'll give you one last chance to keep your honor as a soldier and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. Gendarme, give him to the emperor, now, I don't want to see him again" Lieutenant General Fukuda waved his hand helplessly. With a long sigh, he commanded decisively.

"Division commander, please give Zhuo Zhi another chance, even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield, His Excellency the Division Commander" Although, the captain with a panicked face, tried his best to let out bursts of pleading. However, Lieutenant General Fukuda was not moved at all, and with a wave of his hand, the captain, who had turned into a puddle of soft mud, was dragged out by two military policemen.

As the gendarmes left, the officers in the command couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. The chief of staff spoke: "Division commander, there are still four hours until dark. The main forces of our division and regiment will continue to launch an offensive and strive to break through the enemy's defensive line before dark. ”

"Yo Sai, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, will not be intimidated by the casualties of a thousand people in front of you. In this attack, we can no longer afford to underestimate the enemy. The mountain artillery brigade of the field artillery wing was ordered to immediately build an artillery position, concentrate artillery fire, and shell the position of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, air support was requested from the Shenyang airfield, and before dark, the Eighth Route Army positions must be broken through. The division commander, Lieutenant General Fukuda, clenched his fist and slammed it on the ammunition box in front of him, and ordered with a murderous face.

"Hai," the officers replied in unison.

On the position of the third company, just when the fighters were immersed in the joy of the victory they had just won. A sharp cannonball whistled through the air and reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded on the battlefield, bringing everyone who was immersed in joy. Brought back to reality.

"Comrades, quick, the emperor is armed, immediately enter the anti-artillery hole," act immediately. The little devil began to shell "" in the very timely command of the company commander. Just when a new round of Japanese artillery fire was overwhelmingly hitting the position. In the entire trench, except for a few individual bunkers with a few observation posts, not a single soldier was to be seen.

In this way, the artillery group composed of more than a dozen mountain and field guns, under the command of Lieutenant General Fukuda, began to shell the position in front of him for half an hour, which was used to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart at this moment.

Dozens of minutes later, just as the fighters endured the sound of dense explosions of shells above their heads. Air reinforcements requested by Lieutenant General Fukuda. Three bombers, as they wished, came to the sky above the position and appeared in the sky above the position of the third company.

"Boom Boom Boom". Several different explosions sounded on the position, and three little devil planes, facing the trench close to the ground, dropped the first round of bombs.

Although, the anti-artillery holes dug by the fighters were enough to withstand the bombardment of enemy bombs. But. Coincidentally, two aerial bombs happened to land at the mouth of the anti-artillery hole. The fragile hole collapsed in an instant with the sound of a violent explosion. Dozens of fighters in the anti-artillery hole were buried alive below."

On the position, under the expectation of all the fighters, the Japanese shelled for half an hour. Finally stopped. At the same time, three bombers, also running out of bombs, began to circle in the air. Prepare to use aviation machine guns to provide fire support to the ground infantry as much as possible in the upcoming attack.

Rushed out of the anti-artillery hole and looked at the trenches in front of him, after the shelling, the main rest was still intact. The company commander couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, facing the soldiers who rushed out of the anti-artillery holes around him, he ordered loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly, one platoon treats the wounded, and the second platoon and three platoons repair the trenches." Hurry up, the little devil is coming up"",

A few minutes later, when a brigade of little devils, under the cover of a large number of heavy machine guns behind him, appeared in the company commander's field of vision. Just hit by the shelling. The casualties of the company were also counted immediately.

"Company commander, just now in the shelling, two anti-artillery holes were blown up, and 34 of them died of suffocation. In addition, the six observation posts that remained, four people were sacrificed. The company currently has 148 fighters left to continue fighting. As for the light and heavy weapons of the troops, there was basically no damage. The instructor reported.

"Fortunately, more than half of them are still able to continue fighting.

I ordered the soldiers who were still able to continue fighting, and they all cheered me up and avenged the sacrifices of my comrades. At the same time, tell the fighters that in the course of the battle, pay attention to air defense. In addition, organize three light machine guns, ready to fire at the air, harass the planes of the little devils, and prevent them from strafing us at low altitudes. The company commander stared at a pair of red eyes and ordered decisively.

Seeing the front of the position again, the dense little devils who were getting closer and closer to him, the company commander immediately shouted at the soldiers around him.

"All of them, ready for battle"

However, just as his words fell, a division communicator walked through the traffic trench and quickly lay down beside the company commander. Panting.

"Company Commander Zhang, the division headquarters ordered, for the Japanese attack. After the troops put up proper resistance. Along the communication trench, immediately retreat, retreat to the second trench and wait for concealment. At that time, the response from the rear will provide you with strong fire support to cover your retreat. ”

"What, retreat. You heard me right, there are more than 150 people even to say it, and there is absolutely no problem in holding on for two hours. How could it be possible to give up the position to the little devil like this, correspondent, this is really an order from the division commander himself. The company commander asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Company Commander Zhang, the order given by Division Commander Li personally. Ask your ministry to do so. Otherwise, military justice is engaged. ”

"Okay, you go back immediately, report to the division commander, and the third company of my main regiment will resolutely carry out the order. Immediately retreat after resisting at the right time," replied the company commander decisively.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of little devils had rushed to a position less than a hundred meters in front of the position. Listening to the constant hovering buzz of the three planes overhead, the company commander knew that the time had come to open fire. Without any hesitation, facing the little devil clearly visible in front of him, he pulled the trigger of the crooked light machine gun in his hand.

The sound of a gun is an order. Twenty light and heavy machine guns set up on the position in an instant, in the shocked gaze of the attacking little devil. They all spit out hot tongues of fire. began to take their lives.

But these little devils are not vegetarians either. After being quickly shot and killed by the sudden dense fire, the remaining soldiers immediately lay on the ground and began to fight back.

At the time of this division, all kinds of light and heavy firepower on the position, just when the fire was fired. The three little devil planes hovering in the sky immediately swooped towards the ground with a loud whistling sound. Then, the aviation bullets with the thickness of the bowl mouth were fired into the winding trenches, killing and injuring the soldiers' living force as much as possible.

However, under the frantic anti-air fire of several machine guns on the ground. Plus the winding trenches. Although the momentum of the little devil plane's dive shooting was very scary, it did not have much of a lethal effect on the soldiers of the third company.

And what is really harmful to the fighters is the grenadier Jane of the little devils on the ground.

This squad-platoon level support firepower that follows the infantry to attack together. In the hands of the little devil, it is like a small cannon with eyes, almost pointing to where to hit. The war began in less than a few minutes. Several light and heavy machine guns, along with a dozen machine gunners, were lost in the explosion of these grenades.

Seeing his sudden attack, he had already caused nearly 100 casualties to the Japanese army in front of him. If the fighting continues, not only will it not be able to achieve any kind of results, but it will cause huge casualties to its own troops. The company commander who received the order to retreat. Ma Zhi shouted an order to the correspondent beside him.

"Inform the heavy machine-gun platoon, along the communication trenches, and immediately retreat. After the heavy machine gun platoon retreated, the riflemen and artillerymen then retreated, and all the light machine guns took cover after the heavy machine gun was cut off. ”

Although I don't know why the troops fought well, the company commander suddenly gave the order to retreat. However, the correspondent replied decisively.

"Yes, company commander", a few minutes later, under the alternate cover of a dozen light machine guns. The third company, which numbered more than 100 men, finally safely withdrew from its position and entered the second trench.

In front of the trenches. Under the suppression of intensive firepower, the little devil who could barely move. Sensing the weakening of the machine-gun fire overhead, he immediately launched another charge. Four squadrons of infantry, more than 500 devil soldiers, roared and rushed towards the first trench, which was already empty.

When the wide trenches, empty and without any loot, appeared in front of the little devils. The little devil was dumbfounded, because, the width of the trench in front of him far exceeded their span. More importantly, the entire trench was laid out low in the front and high in the rear. Even the current high jumpers can't fly over the past, let alone ordinary little devil soldiers.

Seeing Bai Mi Kai, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were retreating quickly. Thinking of the battle exploits that were about to be taken care of, they were lost like this, and the commanders at all levels of the Japanese army, who were unwilling, immediately waved the command knife in their hands and ordered loudly to the subordinates around them.

"Yaga. Still stunned for what to do, immediately jumped down and crossed the trench. The Eighth Route Army retreated and immediately pursued it. Otherwise, it's dead, it's dead,"

However, when the first little devil, in the roar of the officer behind him, jumped off the trench unwillingly. He was surprised to find that with his height, he couldn't climb the trench at all.

1 Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, the trenches are too deep, don't jump down. The little devil who found the problem hurriedly reminded the soldiers behind him loudly, wanting to stop the soldiers from jumping into the trenches.

However, just as his words fell, dozens of light and heavy machine guns were placed in the second trench. At the command of the commander of the second battalion, he began to speak.

Dozens of dense tongues of fire immediately formed an impenetrable bullet net in front of the little devil.

In the face of death and survival, the little devil who had already charged to the edge of the trench chose survival without hesitation. So, one by one, the little devils ignored the dissuasion of their comrades in the trenches. One after the other. Like a dumpling, he quickly jumped off the wide trench.

In less than a few minutes. More than 400 little devils who managed to charge to the edge of the trench. Without exception, they all jumped into the trenches and became turtles in the urns in the hands of the soldiers.

Just when the dense little devils were quickly looking for an exit in the wide trench.

By crawling forward, the more than 100 soldiers who had been quietly moving to the point where they were only more than 30 meters away from the trench immediately threw the grenades emitting green smoke into the trench mercilessly.

In the dense explosion, one by one, the little devils fell in a pool of blood in bursts of desperate screams. And some of the little devils who found the exit of the traffic trench, while rejoicing, did not escape the fate of death. Because, at the other exit of the traffic trench were neatly placed two heavy machine guns.

Under the stunned gaze of the Japanese soldiers, two scorching tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the straight traffic trench. Heavy machine gun bullets with huge kinetic energy mercilessly penetrated the bodies of all the little devils in front of him. It wasn't until the last bit of kinetic energy disappeared that he reluctantly stopped in the body of the last soldier.

Under the strafing of each of their two heavy machine guns, the little devils who entered the traffic trench did not need to take any aim at all, and instantly turned into a corpse with blurred flesh and blood.

A few minutes later, just as the screams in the trenches slowly subsided. The sound of grenade explosions and heavy machine gun fire slowly stopped. rushed into the trench that had just been voluntarily abandoned, and a bloody scene appeared in front of everyone.

A burst of vomiting from the soldiers also reached the ears of the company commander.

The trenches, after the explosion of hundreds of grenades, had already turned into a bloody slaughterhouse. Hundreds of corpses with missing limbs and severed arms were piled up in layers of trenches and communication trenches, so that everyone had no place to stay. Even the stumps and broken arms of the little devils who were blown off can be seen everywhere.

What's more, the weapons that the little devils carry with them, except for a few that are well preserved. All that was left turned into piles of parts. However, to the good news of the fighters, the explosion of the grenade did not cause the explosion of the ammunition on the devil's body. Let the warriors who have been fighting for a few hours make up for the consumption just now. "Throw all the corpses of the little devils out of the trenches for me, and when the little devils in the back open fire, they will up with the corpses of their colleagues." The rest of the people immediately cleaned up the battlefield and counted the results. In addition, each squad and platoon should pay attention to guarding against retaliatory shelling by the little devils. Let's start acting immediately" "Look at the corpses of hundreds of little devils in front of you. After the company commander resisted the thought of vomiting, he commanded loudly to the miserable soldiers beside him.

With the corpse of a little devil, he was thrown out of the trench under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant General Fukuda, the commander of the Japanese division. Plus reconnaissance reports from aircraft in the air. A few minutes later, Lieutenant General Fukuda finally understood the details of the entire battle. For a time, the entire division headquarters was once again filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

"Bastard, cunning Eighth Route Army, I must break all of you into pieces to avenge the warriors of the jade shatters. Immediately give me the field artillery wing, I want to talk to Akiyama Osa in person, and immediately "" clenched fist and smashed the ammunition box next to me. Lieutenant General Fukuda, facing the staff officers around him. A loud command.

1 Hayi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, "Moses Moses, is it the Field Artillery Wing?" "Half a minute later, a telephone that had been connected was quickly placed on the ammunition box next to Lieutenant General Fukuda.

After receiving the words handed over by the communications staff officer, Lieutenant General Fukuda said angrily.

"Is it Akiyama Daisa?"

1 Hayi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the humble position is none other than Akiyama Daisa, please instruct Your Excellency the Division Commander. ”

"Yo Sai" Lieutenant General Fukuda nodded with satisfaction at Akiyama Daisa's answer. Then, with a murderous face, he ordered the words in his hand.

"Akiyama Daisa, I think you should have seen the battle just now. Hundreds of soldiers of the Imperial Army fell on the position of the cunning Eighth Route Army. In order to take revenge on the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side and avenge the warriors of Jade Shatter. Now I order you, no matter what method you use, you must raze the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to the ground within half an hour. Otherwise, you will apologize directly to His Majesty the Emperor. Is it all clear? At that time, there will be three Imperial bombers, involved in the attack, is there any problem""

"Hai, please rest assured that our field artillery wing will ensure the completion of the task." After speaking, there was a sound of busy voices in the short line.

Soon, the artillery positions in the rear of the Japanese army, in addition to 7 mountain guns, 2 West mm heavy mountain guns, were also put out. Groups of little devil artillerymen. Began to scurry back and forth on the position, making final preparations for the shelling in a few minutes.
