Chapter 676: The Crazy Counterattack of the Japanese Army

"The Chinese Empire is just too much, let us fight such a difficult battle." The deputy commander, Kazuo Longchuan, said angrily that because the Chinese Empire did not allow the Japanese army to set up general-level military ranks, the commander of the millions of Japanese troops was only a large Zuo equivalent to the rank of colonel of the Chinese Empire, and Kazuo Longchuan, the deputy commander, had no choice but to be subordinated to Zhongzuo.

Yamamoto Gonji Daisa shook his head and said: "It's not that the Chinese are unkind, you look at the current strength of the Axis powers, and the battle on the entire front is very fierce. What's more, they have built the fortifications here so strongly, and the heavy equipment such as anti-tank guns and other heavy equipment are openly supplied, which is already benevolent and righteous. ”

Kazuo Longchuan said: "But our brothers have suffered too heavy casualties, if this is the case, our young and middle-aged people will be lost, what hope does our nation have?" It is better for us to surrender to the Axis bloc and counterattack the Chinese Empire. ”

"Nonsense." Gonji Yamamoto angrily rebuked: "Don't mention such a big rebellion, as long as a nation has children, it will have a future." We are fighting now to give our children a piece of the sky and forgive our fathers' strategic mistakes, so that we can regain our own country. If you surrender to the Axis powers, and the Chinese slaughter our people in a fit of rage, there is really no hope for the Japanese who have lost all their children. ”

Kazuo Tatsukawa lowered his head and said, "Okay, I won't say it in the future, it's just that we are defending like this, and the casualties are too great." ”

Yamamoto Gonji's eyes flashed and said, "Those Bostonians are too arrogant, even if our troops are weak, do we have to be pressed and beaten?" Inform the troops to eat dinner early, then immediately put me to sleep, and in the evening we have a Jedi counterattack. ”

Hearing Yamamoto Gonji's words, Kazuo Tatsukawa showed a trace of excitement on his face, and he immediately agreed and walked out of the command post.

Yamamoto Gonji's plan for the night attack was approved by Gao Deyu, and at the same time, the reserves in the rear of the Japanese soldiers were also nervously prepared, hoping to give the Japanese soldiers some help in a critical situation, so that they could withdraw or follow them to expand the results of the battle.

At midnight, with the order of Yamamoto Gonji Daisa, all the Japanese officers drew their command knives and took the lead in the charge, and those Japanese soldiers with Type 07 semi-automatic rifles followed without hesitation. In the central position, without artillery preparation, the Japanese army launched a full-scale charge.

It was also advantageous to have no artillery preparation, and the Bostonians had no idea that the would-be soldiers were fighting back, and when the sleeping Boston soldiers woke up suddenly, they opened their sleepy eyes only to find that a bright bayonet had been stabbed in the chest. The Japanese soldiers had no idea of capturing the prisoners at all, they didn't even think about shooting, they just saw red with their bayonets, and stabbed all the Axis soldiers they saw to the ground.

The sneak attack did not last long, and soon the screams of the Boston soldiers when they were dying woke up the nearby Boston soldiers, and the gunfire soon rang out, and the soldiers on both sides began a night battle. Seeing that the other side had already realized that the Chinese Imperial artillerymen who had been waiting in the back for a long time immediately began to fire, first with a salvo of forty-barrel self-propelled rocket artillery, and then all the artillery of various calibers began to speak, and even five Python 2 800 mm caliber train guns also launched an artillery attack on the rear positions of the Boston Army.

As a result of the initiative of the Japanese army, the entire Kharkov defense line began shelling of the Axis positions. The Axis army never imagined that the NATO allies, who were at an absolute disadvantage in strength, would dare to launch an active attack, and this was a night attack, without any warning in advance, and the Axis troops with too few troops stationed on the front line could not withstand the murderous Japanese soldiers at all, so they had to choose to retreat.

Seeing that the counterattack of the Japanese soldiers had achieved great results, Gao Deyu quickly saw the fighters, and he not only ordered the whole line to launch a counterattack, but also ordered all the air force bombers to take off and attack the opponent's airfield. It was only because the Boston Empire attached great importance to this, covered its positions with searchlights and anti-aircraft guns, and built a large number of strong aircraft shelters to prevent aircraft from being bombed, that the Chinese Imperial Air Force chose not to carry out night bombing after many unsuccessful returns.

Today's powerful offensive on the ground completely disrupted the Bostonians' defensive front. The anti-aircraft artillery deployed in the positions had been frightened by the rout troops retreating from the front line, and they were still in the mood to care about the threat in the sky, so hundreds of Kunpeng 3 bombers had rushed into the Axis lines without shelter, rushing towards various airfields.

Imperial Chinese bombers whizzed by, dropping a string of bombs on the unsuspecting Axis air forces, which had not received warnings from the front lines, had done nothing to prepare for them, and the planes had not been evacuated, and were placed on the tarmac for morning takeoff.

The night-flying Kunpeng 3 bombers, relying on their radar systems, quickly reached the airfields and threw a series of cluster bombs on the densely parked planes, causing bursts of explosions and completely destroying the Axis front-line air forces.

The ground offensive also did not stop, and Gao Deyu sent all the armored forces out in a desperate way, and a large number of Grizzly 3 tanks, with the cooperation of self-propelled guns and armored personnel carriers, attacked in depth to the Axis powers, completely scattering the enemy forces in the first line.

The Axis soldiers, who had lost their formation, ran around and were soon overtaken, leaving them on their knees and surrendering as prisoners. The five-star general of the Boston Empire, Howell, is still very good at the layout of the position, the air force at the forefront has only more than 1,000 aircraft, and the army is only more than 1 million, after they were disrupted, the troops of the second front quickly stabilized the situation, they held the line of defense, and did not let the NATO allies cross the minepool.

Seeing that the anticipation of the night attack had been achieved, Goude ordered the troops to retreat from the line and continue to hold their positions, but it was difficult to see in the night, and Howell did not dare to order the troops to pursue, and the two armies soon disengaged.

The soldiers were tired to death after a night of attacking, but the results were still very good. They annihilated more than 300,000 Axis troops and captured more than 600,000 prisoners, while paying less than 20,000 casualties themselves. The Air Force was equally brilliant, destroying all the more than 1,000 Axis Air Force planes docked at the front-line airfields with zero losses of their own, and they were buried with more than 300 elite pilots and more than 10,000 ground crews, airfield guards, and anti-aircraft artillerymen.

The front line was in disarray, and the Axis forces could not continue the offensive at all, so they could only delay the new offensive by one day, and at the same time sent more than half a million troops to tidy up the front line, gather all kinds of artillery and guns that had been destroyed, and prepare to transport them back to the Nantes Empire, and the bodies of the dead soldiers were also transported back to the barracks to be burned, and then the ashes were sent back to their hometowns, all of which required a long clean-up work.

In Howell's thoughts, the other side fought continuously and intensively for a day and a night, at this time their army was very tired, although their own side was unable to launch a large-scale attack due to the chaos of the front line and the reorganization of their own army, but the other side should not be able to attack again.

It's a pity that General Howell underestimated the fighting spirit of the Japanese soldiers, these guys seemed to be forever over-energy, and after only sleeping for two or three hours, Yamamoto Gonji Daisa found the other side clearing the battlefield soldiers, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered the troops to attack on all fronts.

The Japanese soldiers, who had just woken up, didn't even have time to eat, so they rushed forward with their rifles in hand. Seeing a large group of short soldiers suddenly rushing out of the opposite position, the Boston soldiers who were cleaning up the bodies were very surprised, and they immediately took down the rifles that had been carrying behind them and began to fight back on the spot.

Due to the haste of the incident, the Boston army was unprepared, and they were unable to form an effective shooting interception, and the rather small Japanese soldiers soon rushed to the Bostonians after paying some casualties. The troops of the two sides engaged in close combat, and again entered the mode of fighting with bayonets.

This time, the Japanese soldiers did not have many troops, because Yamamoto Quanji was temporary, and did not report the attack to Gao Deyu, so he did not dare to dispatch the whole line, for fear that the reserves behind him would be caught off guard and cause the position to be lost, so he only sent half of the 500,000 troops.

With more than 800,000 Boston soldiers on the front line, the numerical superiority and the taller Bostonians were still very sure of defeating their opponents, but when they met the situation of the diminutive Japanese soldiers, their minds changed.

The ferocious momentum of the crazy Japanese soldiers was not at all imaginable by the Boston soldiers, and as soon as they fought, the Boston soldiers who despised the other side suffered a dark loss. Although the Japanese soldiers were short, they were still very strong after struggling in the bitter cold for more than ten years, not to mention that under the support of the belief in re-establishing the country, they all fell into a state of madness, and they used the same way of playing, which made those Bostonians who were accustomed to deciding victory and defeat by firepower very uncomfortable.

Having not experienced much war, the pampered Boston GIs were shocked to find that the dwarfs on the other side did not seem to be fighting, they were simply begging for death. Whenever a Boston soldier's bayonet stabbed at the other side, the other side simply replied with his own bayonet, not thinking about dodging at all. In such a life-threatening battle, those Boston GIs often think of retreating and dodging, but this is the case on the battlefield, the more soldiers want to live, the faster they die.

The number of Boston GIs who were losing ground was rapidly decreasing, and the mortality rate of desperate Japanese soldiers was much lower. Seeing that the opponent was gradually gaining the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, Howell immediately ordered the follow-up troops to push forward immediately, hoping to stabilize the battle situation on the front line with the advantage of numbers.
