"Bang!" At this time, Guo Senjun seemed to have turned into a killing machine, just where he mechanically pulled the bolt and then pulled the trigger. Every gunshot can almost take the life of a little devil. Because there are too many little devils, Guo Senjun doesn't have to bother to find targets at all, there are all little devils everywhere he looks, Guo Senjun only needs to aim and shoot. Moreover, the combat quality of these Japanese militia groups is almost no different from that of the new recruits, who only know how to rush forward all the way without hesitation, and do not know how to dodge the oncoming bullet rain, which reduces a lot of trouble for our soldiers.

At this time, a large number of empty bullet casings had been piled up under Guo Shenjun's feet, and he himself did not know how many little devils had fallen under his guns, and now this continuous killing is still continuing.

In an observation post not far from the forward position, Yu Derong held the telescope and observed for a while, and couldn't help frowning, "Now these little devils are also well-studied, and they even send these cannon fodder to continuously consume our ammunition and soldiers' energy." ”

"Yes! We don't have to worry about the ammunition problem for the time being, but the soldiers are already exhausted after continuous fighting, and such a stalemate is very unfavorable to our army. The chief of staff next to him couldn't help frowning.

Yu Derong nodded, "How is the battle on the Western Front going?" ”

"According to the latest battle report, our army has begun to launch a counteroffensive against three Japanese divisions. It is estimated that the battle can be ended in three or four days, after all, the Japanese army has too many troops, and it is impossible to completely defeat or even encircle and annihilate it in a short period of time. The chief of staff hesitated and said.

"Hmmm! After the main force has defeated the Japanese on the Western Front, it will take at least another day to turn around and support us, which means that we will hold out here for at least four or five days. Yu Derong's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Yes! If we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for so long. The chief of staff said with some concern.

"That can't be said, the little devil uses crowd tactics. I'm going to see how many of them can fill this bottomless pit. Yu Derong couldn't help but show a hint of ruthlessness on his face.

"The division commander is right, now it's up to who can hold out to the end!" The chief of staff nodded and said.

"By the way, what's the battle situation on Kusatsu's side?" Yu Derong then asked.

"The situation is similar, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Seventh Division is a bit different from that of the Second Division, it is also one of the seven standing divisions of the Japanese Army after all. And they also adopted the tactics of crowding, which caused us a lot of trouble. The chief of staff said with a frown.

Yu Derong sighed helplessly, "Pass the order, no matter what, you must block the Japanese attack and buy time for the Third Brigade." ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied respectfully.

Night fell that night. Thousands of Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on the shores of Lake Biwa. An officer stood quietly by the lake, looking at the dark water, a pair of bright eyes shot out of excitement, and the officer's epaulettes could be vaguely seen hanging a gold star, even in the dark night.

"Report to the brigade commander, the divisions are ready, all the ships are in place." A soldier ran over and said loudly.

"Good!" The Major General nodded slightly, "Order all units to board the ship immediately and cross Lake Biwa." ”

"Yes!"

The major general gave an order. Thousands of soldiers boarded the small boats docked on the shore, and these boats were collected from the vicinity, which can also be said to be directly robbed. But even then, the looted ships were not enough to carry a few thousand soldiers. As a result, the Huaxia soldiers cut down a large amount of bamboo from the nearby mountains and bundled them into simple bamboo rafts, which could barely transport 5,000 soldiers to the other side of Lake Biwa at one time.

The 3rd Brigade of the 5th Division of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, 5,000 soldiers boarded ships from the western shore of Lake Biwa. Crossing Lake Biwa and landing near Omi-Hachiman City. A fierce battle ensued with the Japanese troops stationed nearby, and the Japanese were caught off guard and quickly routed. The 3rd Brigade then launched a fierce attack on Omi Hachiman City.

In the front headquarters of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army. Lieutenant General Yusaku Uehara, commander of the Japanese 7th Division, was discussing with several staff officers the next offensive deployment. The Seventh Division had launched an attack on the Huaxia Army in Caojin for two consecutive days, but the defense line of the Huaxia Army was always as solid as a rock, which made the Seventh Division feel a deep headache.

"Report ~ Your Excellency the Division Commander! A Chinese army suddenly appeared near the city of Omi Hachiman and is now launching a fierce attack on our army. A Japanese officer came over in a panic and said loudly.

"Baga Ya Road! How could there be a Chinese army near Omi Hachiman City, it must be Lake Biwa, and they must have come from Lake Biwa. Uehara Yusaku couldn't help but change his face drastically, but as a senior officer, Uehara Yusaku was naturally not stupid, and he quickly guessed where this group of Chinese soldiers came from.

"Impossible! According to our intelligence, the Huaxia army had only one division in the eastern part of Kyoto. And the strength of this division has to block the attack of the elite of the imperial army of our seventh division and the second division at the same time, under such circumstances, how can the Chinese have enough troops to cross the Biwa Lake and sneak attack the back of our army! Could it be that the Chinese have increased their troops again? The chief of staff said with a look of disbelief.

Uehara Yusaku couldn't help frowning, it was precisely because he knew that the Huaxia army on the opposite side was insufficient, so Yusaku Uehara didn't expect the Huaxia army to take the initiative to launch a counterattack. But unexpectedly, under a moment of negligence, the Chinese really crossed Lake Biwa and launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army.

"Yaga! On the Western Front, the main forces of the Chinese are fighting fiercely with the main forces of the Imperial Army of our three divisions, and it is simply impossible to have extra troops to support the battlefield on the Eastern Front! Therefore, the sneak attack on Omi Hachiman City is definitely not the main force of the Huaxia Army, and it is mostly just the harassment of a small force! Ordered all units to defend on the spot, and took the initiative to attack to encircle and annihilate this Chinese army that was deep in the rear of our army. Yusaku Uehara thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Hay!"

It was already dawn, and it wasn't long before the sun jumped out of the horizon, dispelling all the darkness of time. At this moment, the position of the Huaxia army suddenly sounded with rumbling cannons.

In the violent explosion, the headquarters of the Japanese Seventh Division was like a small boat in the sea, constantly shaking.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Huaxia army suddenly launched such a fierce artillery bombardment of our army, it is very likely that it was artillery preparation before the attack, and I guess that the Huaxia people really received a large number of reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to launch a counteroffensive against the imperial army at all." The chief of staff said with a frown. (To be continued......)
