Naoshige Oshima didn't care when he saw that only two people were slightly injured and one was dead, so he ordered the troops to move on, but soon after another mine was stepped on, followed by four or five mines trampled by the running Japanese soldiers, and several Japanese soldiers were sent into the sky.

Although these mines are not powerful and the casualties are tolerable, the damage to morale is enormous. These soldiers didn't know if their next step would be blown up into the sky, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward. Naoshima angrily whipped a few soldiers who refused to move forward, but he still couldn't get the troops moving, and finally he had to form a death squad and use wooden sticks to explore the way in front.

With the explosion of sporadic mines, the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army finally reached the bottom of Liujing City. Naoshige Oshima looked around, and the dense trenches and barbed wire near Yanagijing City made him gasp, how could such a position be captured by his own 20,000 people, so he had to camp on the spot, and at the same time let the herald go back and report to the commander Yama Prefecture Aritomo.

Yama Prefecture Youpeng is a veteran soldier, he felt that this battle was very tricky after receiving the report from Oshima Naoshige, but he thought that this must be the Hanping army gathered all the resistance here, as long as he can break through here, Hanping Guo can no longer organize decent resistance, so he except for the 15th Division to leave a wing to defend Hanjing, the whole army marched to Liujing.

Outside Liujing City, a veteran soldier like Youpeng in Shanxian County who had been in battle for a long time was also surprised, but he was still calm, and immediately let the Second Brigade of the 15th Division launch a tentative attack. These Japanese troops slowly advanced in neat arrays according to the linear offensive arrays they had learned in the infantry drill code.

The defenders, hiding in the trenches, did not return fire, but waited quietly. When the Japanese troops of the 2nd Brigade approached the barbed wire, they did not know how to climb over the piercing wires, so they began to cut them with bayonets, but the barbed wire was so hard that it could not be cut for a while.

At this moment, the soldiers of the 10th Brigade of the 4th Division of the 1st Army of the Defense Army, stationed in the first line of defense, received the order to shoot, and they immediately picked up the Type 91 rifles that had just been reloaded and sounded the death bell for the other side. The dense rain of bullets left the Japanese soldiers with no way to hide, and they were quickly knocked down, and the weak-willed reservists quickly began to flee after suffering heavy casualties.

Shan County Youpeng looked at the trench that shot a dense rain of bullets in astonishment, common sense told him that it was very difficult to load the flintlock pistol in such a small space as the trench, not to mention that such a dense firepower was afraid that tens of thousands of people would shoot together, at this time he had already faintly felt that the army on the opposite side was not like those fish belly troops of Han Pingguo.

Instead of attacking again, Yamaguchi ordered all artillery to be concentrated, and at the same time ordered some of the soldiers to go to the woods to cut wood. The Japanese army did not have many artillery, only fifty guns in total for the 100,000-strong army, and these guns were all bronze cast front-loading guns, with a short range and little power, but it was much better than the fact that the defense army had no artillery at all, at least they would not be subjected to retaliatory shelling.

The artillery bombardment of the Japanese army soon began, and fifty guns fired covering fire at the forward positions of the Defenders at a not too fast pace. The trenches of the defense army are all designed by Fang Xiaoyu, he has concentrated the advantages of various trenches in history, and the trenches designed not only have drainage ditches, longitudinal communication trenches, anti-artillery holes, bandaging stations, and even reserved machine gun positions and anti-aircraft gun positions, of course, these places are not needed now, but they are familiar with it in advance, so as not to be overwhelmed with new equipment in the future. Seeing that the Japanese army began to shell, the soldiers of the Chinese defense army hid in the anti-artillery holes, and only a few observers were left in the trenches.

The shelling lasted three hours, and although the rate of fire from the front-loading guns was not high, thousands of shells had already fallen on the forward positions of the Wehrmacht. Youpeng of Shan County looked at the silent position on the opposite side and nodded with satisfaction.

He waved his hand at the commanders of several divisions behind him and said, "The third division and the fifteenth division charge together." "Naoshige Oshima and Ichimasa immediately went to arrange it. The commander of the 15th Division, Matsushima Hisahide, asked timidly: "Commander, can you charge like this?" How do we get past those spiky wires? ”

Youpeng in Shanxian said: "Didn't I let people cut down a lot of wood? You all take it all and spread the wood on top of the wire, won't you just pass? Matsushima Hisahide's eyes lit up, and he immediately found someone to move the wood.

Yama Prefecture Youpeng looked at the back of Matsushima Hisahide and sighed, these reserves are simply strong men who have just learned to shoot, and they can't talk about military quality at all, so there is no difference between charging and cannon fodder for such a person.

Youpeng of Shan County looked at the strict formation of the third division and nodded, this is a well-trained army, but it is a pity that there are only four divisions in the entire Wa country. Moreover, the weapons of these troops cannot be replaced due to lack of funds, I heard that the army of the Lanfang Empire has been reloaded with rear-loading guns, I don't know how powerful the weapons like that kind of Lu Dao are.

Naoshige Oshima would not let his elite troops take the lead, so the soldiers of the 3rd Division were in the back, and the soldiers of the 15th Division, carrying wood, were pushed in front. The charging team moved cautiously, but there was no attack in the trenches on the opposite side, and there was no sound on the entire battlefield except for the occasional mine stepped on by the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the 10th Brigade lay in the trenches, aimed at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, anxiously waiting for the order to shoot. Gao Quanfei, the commander of the 10th Brigade, chewed a grass root in his mouth and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer with contempt.

The Japanese soldiers had already approached the first barbed wire, and when they came to the barbed wire, they began to put the timber on the barbed wire. Gao Quanfei smiled and said, "These boys really have a way to come up with such a ghost idea. The calm Gao Quanfei still did not give the order to shoot, and the Japanese soldiers of the 15th Division were surprised to climb over the first barbed wire and move forward, followed by the 3rd Division also began to climb over.

However, in front of the 15th Division, a trench five meters wide and five meters deep appeared, and this sudden situation made the Japanese soldiers a little panicked.

The Japanese soldiers were in confusion, and many of them turned around and ran, scattering most of the soldiers of the Third Division who had just climbed over the barbed wire fence behind, so that these well-trained soldiers also temporarily lost the ability to resist. But when they returned to the barbed wire, they could not go back, so the soldiers pumped the timber and laid it out, and then turned it back.
