In fact, the commander of the coalition forces, Han Ruowei, is a bit redundant, even if he does not give the order to defend to the death, the Japanese army will defend to the death. You must know that the Japanese army is defending their homeland and country, and they have no room for bargaining. The Japanese army in the Akiyama area had 120,000 defensive troops, and the Japanese army formed two fortifications on the front of the coastline alone, and at the same time formed trench fortifications several tens of kilometers deep in the depth of the two fortifications, and its solidity was as solid as gold. However, the Japanese army never dreamed that the most reassuring Hamada defense line would be lost, and the northern gateway to Akiyama would be wide open.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Japanese Defense Headquarters in Akiyama was extremely tense. After listening to the report from the chief of staff, the commander of the Japanese army, Watanabe, said angrily: "The Americans are unreliable, and neither can the coalition forces. I was dissatisfied with letting the U.S. troops defend the front line of Hamada, but those stupid pigs in the military department were so happy that they regarded the Americans as a life-saving straw. Facts have proved that the Americans came to Japan for recreation and to play with Japanese girls, and in less than three days, the Hamada defense line collapsed, which was simply unbearable. Stubborn? Isn't it superfluous for Commander Han Ruowei to know that we have to defend to the death. ”

The chief of staff said depressedly: "Your Excellency, General, we do not have any fortifications in the north, we can only build trenches. The enemy has successfully landed and is sharp, and the pressure on our defense has doubled! Watanabe muttered for a moment and said, "Hamada Port, the enemy's heavy weapons cannot go ashore. Without artillery support, the enemy's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The order was to double the artillery positions on the northern defensive line, and as long as we withstood the attack of the Chinese army and ensured that the port of Akiyama was not lost, the tide of the battle would be in our favor. ”

Watanabe did not expect that the American troops would flee and discard a large number of artillery. After inspection, about 200,000 French artillery shells were seized, and there was no problem with artillery support for the time being. Eisen discarded the cannon, but did not report the true situation to the Allied command. This exacerbated the disaster of the Japanese army. On this morning, the three divisions of the 1st Army, including the artillery brigade and 120 artillery pieces, swept in the direction of Akiyama. The special forces were divided into two, and Li Tie led his troops to follow the 1st Division, and their task was to attack the enemy's headquarters in the melee. Mackay's mission was to operate along the coastline and to take advantage of the landing of the Naval Brigade Combat Brigade.

Corps headquarters ordered the 1st Army to break through the Japanese line within 24 hours. The 3rd Army followed. After careful study, the Front Army Command concluded that although the Japanese army had 120,000 troops in Akiyama, it was to defend the landing of the 2nd Corps head-on. Therefore, the Japanese army built a defensive line in the northern part of Akiyama, and the total strength of the army would not exceed 50,000. The total strength of the 1st Army and the 3rd Army is 70,000, which is superior in the comparison of troops. In addition, it took time for the Japanese army to increase its forces in Akiyama, and it was broken through due to Hamada's accident. The deployment of the Japanese army was completely disrupted. Therefore, the seizure of the port of Akiyama was a must-win. ，

Ahead is a hilly area, which is called Yeling. The Japanese army built trench fortifications in Yeling, not to mention the high efficiency of the Japanese army, and in just two days, Yeling formed a continuous fortification. In the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the 1st Corps, the chief of staff reported: "The forward troops of the 3rd Corps are about 30 kilometers away from us, and the operational Jihua of the Corps Headquarters has already reported that as long as we break through the Japanese defense line." The 3rd Army can be put into battle. The commander of the 1st Army nodded and said to the 3 division commanders: "Time is too short to reconnoiter the Japanese army, and the 1st Division is attacking along the coastline." The 2nd Division launched an offensive in the middle, and the 3rd Division served as protection in the east, ready to block Japanese reinforcements to the west. ”

The commander of the 1st Army glanced at his watch and said, "It's a quarter past 7 o'clock in the evening, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions will attack at 8 o'clock." Remember that you are a feint, but the feint must be realistic, and be sure to attract Japanese artillery fire. According to our careful analysis, the Japanese army will mistakenly think that we do not have an artillery unit, and when the Japanese artillery positions are exposed, we will destroy them in one fell swoop. At present, all our artillery brigades are concentrated in the rear of the 1st Division, and the purpose is to destroy all the artillery positions in front of you, understand? ”

The three division commanders replied loudly, and the commander of the 1st Army continued: "Zhuang Lei, your 1st Division must be the first to break through, and after breaking through the Japanese defense line, you must attack to the left and assist the 2nd Division to break through the position, remember that when our artillery fire covers the Japanese artillery position, you will immediately launch the second attack, and the charge must be fierce and not leave any respite for the Japanese army." Okay, let's get moving. Zhuang Lei and the other two division commanders raised their hands and saluted and left. At 8 o'clock, two red flares were raised in the sky all day, and the attacking troops launched an attack.

Less than 10 minutes after the attacking troops launched the attack, the Japanese artillery fire began to bombard, and as expected, the Japanese army had no scruples and boldly used all the artillery. Under the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, the failure of the attack was inevitable, and the attacking troops retreated in disarray. "The commander is right, the Japanese army exposed all the artillery positions, and immediately reported the location of the Japanese artillery positions to the military headquarters." Zhuang Lei was excited. "Commander Zhuang, how about we follow the attacking troops in a while?" Li Tie couldn't hold back.

"Brother, the commander ordered, you will attack again after breaking through the Japanese defense line, I'm sorry I can't make decisions on my own, I know your feelings." Zhuang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said no. "If you don't say it, how will the commander know, even if I beg you." "Dude, your mission is to attack the Japanese command in depth, not to attack the Japanese army's position, understand?" "Nonsense, what is my task, you don't need to say it. What I mean by this is that following the charge will save me time after breaking through the Japanese lines, so that I can quickly penetrate in depth. Zhuang Lei pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but you must follow behind the stormtrooper, this is the minimum requirement." Li Tie came up with a bear hug, and then the figure flashed out.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake, and the 120 guns of the artillery brigade began to roar, and the dense shells flashed like meteors in the sky, and then a thunderous explosion was heard. The flames of the explosion almost stained half of the sky behind the Japanese positions red. Fang Cai's feint found out that there were 3 artillery positions in the rear of the Japanese army, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese artillery positions were covered by dense artillery fire.

“haha！ U.S. artillery can also have a shocking effect, little Japan wail! Hu Biao couldn't help but be excited, and then an operational staff officer put down the phone and said: "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander ordered, launch an attack after 20 minutes of shelling." Hu Biao waved his hand and said: "Order all regiments, launch the second attack at 9 o'clock, the Japanese artillery is finished, let's look at us." Soon the time for the attack came, and three red flares rose in the sky, meaning that this attack was not a feint.

The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division received the order to attack and began to attack on all fronts. The frontal attack of the 1st Division was 2 kilometers wide, and the scene of the attack was spectacular. The attacking troops approached the Japanese positions, the Japanese artillery remained silent, and there is no doubt that the heavy shelling destroyed the Japanese artillery positions. At this time, the Japanese light and heavy fire fired, and the Japanese artillery began to fire. The artillery detachments that followed the attacking troops immediately returned fire and quickly suppressed the Japanese mortars.

Li Tie led his troops to follow the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion to attack, and the 1st Battalion rushed to the front. When the 1st Battalion advanced to a distance of 100 meters in front of the Japanese position, two heavy machine guns formed a crossfire, and the 1st Battalion was suppressed by fire. "Brothers, we can't stand by, the Japanese heavy machine guns are hitting very hard, the captain of the 1st sub-unit, send two snipers, choose the best position, and kill the Japanese machine gunners." Soon the two team members crawled forward, they moved quickly and agilely, and their military literacy was not said. "Sir, why did you come up, it's too dangerous here, hurry down." The 1st battalion commander was in a hurry when he saw Li Tie crawling over.

"Nonsense, your soldiers are suppressed by fire, can I stand idly by. The snipers will take out the Japanese machine gunners in a while, so you must be fast. Li Tie said politely. Without waiting for the commander of the 1st battalion to speak, the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army suddenly became dumb. The soldiers jumped to their feet and rushed towards the Japanese positions. Approaching the position, the soldiers threw grenades at the Japanese fortifications, and in the light of the explosion, the Japanese soldiers jumped into the trenches. With the help of Li Tie, the 1st Battalion took the lead in breaking through the surface positions of the Japanese army.

At about 10 o'clock, the 1st Division was victorious on all fronts, and the Japanese defense line was broken through. Although the Japanese stubbornly defended, they could not stop the attack. After the breakout of the defensive line. Li Tie led his troops to penetrate in depth, and it happened that they passed by a Japanese artillery position, at this time the Japanese artillery position was in a mess, and the burning flames reflected the Japanese artillery position very clearly. "Captain, the artillery brigade is too wicked. Look at the Japanese artillery is almost destroyed," "Look, a Japanese soldier is hanging from the cannon, this guy has no head!" Several team members were talking.

"Don't look at it, we must seize the time to penetrate in depth, our task is to find the Japanese division headquarters and take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to leave." Li Tie didn't have the heart to observe the Japanese artillery position, and took the lead in running forward. The sound of gunfire and explosions on the battlefield is one after another, and the night of fierce fighting is exciting. The Japanese army was organizing the second line of defense, and Li Tie led his troops to insert into the core area of the Japanese army. At about 12 o'clock, they broke through to a depth of about 10 kilometers.

A village appeared in front of him at night, "Captain, this place is heavily guarded, it is estimated that it is the headquarters of the Japanese division!" One of his subordinates muttered. Li Tie took the telescope and observed: "This village should be the headquarters of the Japanese division, and the Japanese guard troops are heavily guarded. Everyone changed into Japanese military clothes and acted immediately. "Li Tiechai is right, this is the headquarters of the 82nd Division of the Japanese Army, about 20 kilometers away from the headquarters of the 82nd Division, it is the general headquarters of the Japanese army, and commands the 4 divisions of the Japanese army to defend in Yeling.

Soon, a group of Japanese troops appeared at the entrance of the village, and the guard unit defending the regimental headquarters of the Japanese division had about three squadrons, and set up checkpoints outside the village. Li Tie led his troops to swagger close to the sentry post, and the Japanese sentry was just about to interrogate, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and in dozens of seconds, a squad of Japanese sentry was killed. The team members immediately rushed to the village, and for the combat effectiveness of the special forces, the battle experience was negligible. One hour later, when the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the battle was already over, and the commanders of the Japanese divisions, including the generals and officers, were all killed, hugging the grass and beating rabbits, and half of the 300 Japanese guards were also killed.

At about 2 o'clock in the morning, the forward troops of the 1st Division broke through the second line of defense of the Japanese army and assaulted near the division headquarters of the Japanese army. (To be continued......)
