"Oh God! Your Excellency Lieutenant General George, you are murdering! In today's battle, more than half of our army has been killed and wounded, if we hold on for another day, then our army will all die on the high ground, if you want my army to hold out for three days, this root is impossible! The commander of the 24th Army of the U.S. Army jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and said with a very exaggerated expression and tone.

"Your Excellency, I firmly believe that your army will hold out. Today, your military losses are heavy, but I believe that the losses of those day dwarfs are several times greater than yours. They are already timid, and their attacks tomorrow will not be as fierce as they are today! I promise you, if the Japanese attack is as strong as it gets, I'll replace you with other troops! Lieutenant General George said.

"Okay, okay! Your Excellency Lieutenant General, you are the biggest here, you have the final say! I also hope that tomorrow the people will not dare to launch a large-scale attack! However, this is very unlikely. However, Your Excellency, I always think that the tactics of the Chinese are too despicable, they use the Japanese to fight us, no matter how many people they lose, they will not feel sorry. The population of the Chinese is much larger than ours, and the source of soldiers is much more than ours, and if this continues, it will be very disadvantageous for us! The commander of the 24th Army of the US Army said.

"Your Excellency, Major General, this is not something that you and I can have the final say, wait until you become the Minister of War! Right now. It's time for you to organize your defenses, and I hope that tomorrow your defenses won't be broken by those day dwarfs! Lieutenant General George said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" The commander of the 24th Army had no choice but to leave.

On January 29, at 7 o'clock in the morning, when the sun had just jumped over the horizon, the Japanese mercenaries were ready for battle. Yesterday's huge casualties did not affect their morale much, or rather, to say that. When they joined the Japanese mercenaries, they had already guessed that there would be such an outcome. For Japanese mercenary soldiers, joining the army and dying on the battlefield can exchange for a generous pension for their families. That's probably what they're most useful for.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday we used six divisions to attack the high ground on both sides, and I know that this battle was fought very hard, and the Americans were much more advanced in weapons than we did. However, the situation on the battlefield is also well understood, and the Americans' will to fight is extremely fragile. Under the onslaught of the samurai, they are no match for us. Therefore, defeat the Americans, albeit with difficulty. But it's not impossible. Yesterday, I promised the squadron commander that I would take two high ground today. I hope you won't let us down! General Yoshimasa Oshima looked at the division commanders. Said loudly.

"Hay! Your Excellency, we will definitely complete the task! "Divisional commanders. They replied.

In the distance, the artillery of the squadron was also ready for battle, and thousands of heavy guns were divided into three parts. Heavy howitzers and heavy cannons with a caliber of more than 155 mm will be used as weapons to suppress the artillery of the US army. Once the U.S. artillery starts shelling, they will be responsible for destroying the U.S. artillery. The remaining 105-mm light howitzers were divided into two parts, which suppressed the heights on both sides of Hartiangis!

At half past seven in the morning, Chinese artillery began to bombard the positions of the American troops, and dense shells fell on the high ground on both sides of Hartiangis, with fires splashing everywhere and gunpowder smoke filling.

"Damn, the attack of the Chinese started so early, it seems that today's battle is even more difficult to fight!" Major Thomas, the commander of the U.S. battalion, cursed. In yesterday's battle, only a third of his battalion was left, and the others were also cut on the arm in the white-knuckle battle, but fortunately his guards saved him in time, otherwise he would have gone to God long ago. Originally, he could have retreated to the rear to recuperate, but he chose to continue the battle with his comrades. Yesterday's battle made him see the tragedy of this war, and at this time, of course, he was unwilling to leave his soldiers. The soldiers, almost all of whom came from Kansas farms like him, were good boys, and he wanted to bring them all back as much as he could.

"All companies, prepare for battle, yesterday the Japanese attack was very fierce, but their losses were also very large, today, we must also be ready for a bloody battle!" Major Thomas ordered. There were still more than two hundred people left in the battalion, huddled in the anti-artillery holes, curled up, and endured the artillery of the squadron. Shells continued to explode above their heads, and the whole high ground seemed to tremble, dust fell from the top of the anti-artillery holes, and the American soldiers hiding inside became disgraced. However, no one cares about this anymore, and in this cruel battlefield, it is already very good to be able to save your life!

After half an hour of shelling, the Japanese mercenaries attacked. This time, General Yoshimasa Oshima invested the strength of two divisions at once, each attacking a high ground. In addition, General Yoshimasa Oshima also had enough reserves ready to quickly replace the divisions behind them after heavy losses in the front division. General Yoshimasa Oshima is also full of confidence in today's attack. Once he succeeds in capturing the positions of the American army, he will undoubtedly gain importance in front of the Chinese generals. At least it can be proved that the combat power of the Japanese mercenaries is much stronger than that of the North Korean mercenaries!

"The Chinese Empire is onboard! Kill! Kill all those white ghosts! A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers, shouting slogans and walking in circles, rushed towards the positions of the American troops. That kind of indomitable momentum made the American soldiers defending on the high ground feel deeply shocked.

"Get into position! Heavy machine guns, mortars are all erected and ready to fire! "The grassroots officers of the U.S. military also led their troops into positions and prepared to meet the battle.

"Listen, boys, don't treat those dwarfs as human beings, just treat them as beasts, kill them all, if you don't kill them, we will die!" Major Thomas said to some of the new soldiers who had been added to their battalion. Most of these soldiers were rookies who had never been on the battlefield, and after seeing the desperate attack of the Japanese mercenary soldiers, they would be more or less afraid.

"Da Da Da! Boom Boom! Dense gunfire rang out on the US position, and these US soldiers, using the weapons in their hands, fired wildly, wanting to wipe out all the Japanese mercenaries who would commit the offensives. In yesterday's battle, they had already seen the fierceness of the white-knuckle battle after the position was breached. Any American soldier who survived yesterday's battle would not want to go through that kind of battle again!

"Puff puff!" The bullets entered at high speed, making a muffled sound, and one by one the Japanese mercenary soldiers fell to the ground after being shot. Those soldiers who were hit by large-caliber heavy machine guns were even more broken in two, and some of them who had not died immediately let out a miserable howl like a ghost crying wolf.

"Rush! Rush up and kill all those white ghosts! "The low-level commanders of the Japanese mercenaries, waving the command knives in their hands, took the lead and rushed to the front! This exemplary role of taking the lead is precisely an important reason why the Japanese mercenaries are not afraid of death in battle.

Some Japanese mercenary soldiers rushed to a place less than 100 meters away from the US military position, where they lay on the ground and fired at the US troops. Although the firepower of the US army is very strong, the marksmanship of the Japanese mercenaries is generally very accurate, and they do not suffer at all when they shoot at this distance. U.S. soldiers were killed repeatedly, leaving a bullet hole in the steel helmet above their heads.

Although the casualties of the Japanese mercenaries were very heavy under the intensive firepower of the US army, under their successive charges, the casualties of the US troops gradually increased, and some defensive lines were almost broken through by the Japanese mercenaries.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after three hours of hard fighting, the Japanese mercenaries were once again repulsed, this time by General Yoshimasa Oshima with a new unit. The addition of new forces has made the position of the US military even more precarious.

At 10:40 a.m., the defensive line on the mountainside of Heights No. 1 was the first to be broken through by the Japanese mercenaries, and a large number of Japanese mercenaries rushed into the trenches of the American army and engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle with the American army. The U.S. army, which had suffered heavy losses, was losing and retreating, and it was about to be seized by the soldiers of the Japanese mercenaries. Once the Japanese mercenaries gain a foothold on the mountainside, they will be able to bring up a large number of light artillery pieces and attack the American troops at close range, and it will be even more difficult for the American troops to hold the high ground.

At this time, the commander of the American army once again sent reserves. Thousands of American soldiers rushed down from the high ground and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese mercenaries, in an attempt to drive the Japanese mercenaries out of the positions of the American troops.

The Japanese mercenaries, who were fighting fiercely with the American troops on the defensive line, once again lost their superiority on the battlefield under the blows of the American reserves, and began to retreat backwards under the pressure of the American troops.

"Baga, how did you do it, do you want to fall short again?" Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima said angrily.

"Your Excellency, we must immediately reinforce the front line, or our soldiers will be driven back!" The commander of a major general's division built yƬ Dao.

Lieutenant General Yoshimasa Oshima shook his head, and then ordered to the signal corps: "Get in touch with the Chinese artillery immediately and ask them to launch an indiscriminate shelling of the heights!" ā€

"Your Excellency, our people haven't been ripped off yet!" Several major generals and division commanders said nervously.

"No need to rip it off, let them be loyal for the day!" Admiral Yoshimasa Oshima stubbornly ordered!
