Section 260 Attack again

Kaneji Okazaki and Ikuzo Nagaoka were the squadron leaders of the second and third squadrons, and after receiving the order of the group leader, they immediately rushed to the front line. During this time, Tanaka Tatsuzo had already observed the situation ahead with a telescope, and it could be seen that the soldiers of the Nohara squad who had died before had been concentrated together by the enemy, and used as a layer of reinforced shelter in front of the enemy's position. This kind of use of corpses to strengthen the defense of the position can be said to be very cruel.

Whether it is an enemy or a person, after all, they are all human beings, and it is a very terrifying thing to see the faces of dead people in front of them, allowing warheads and shrapnel to tear to pieces.

Especially the Chinese have always feared the dead, and it can be imagined how strong their hearts will be if this army in front of them can make such a move? Not to mention anything else, at least the bloody battle scenes they had seen were far from being comparable to ordinary people and ordinary subordinates, and for this alone, Tanaka Tatsuzo could judge that the enemy in front of him was definitely the most difficult enemy he had ever encountered.

"Okazaki-kun, do you see the mountains in the distance?" After Tanaka Tatsuzo pondered for a moment, he no longer hesitated, and immediately pointed to the mountains in the distance and began to give orders.

Kaneji Okazaki nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please order." ”

Tanaka Tatsuzo ordered: "Your second squadron immediately advances in the direction of that mountain range, checks the enemy's deployment along the way, and reports to me in time." That mountain is the commanding height of this area, and the enemy army should have troops on it, and your task is to wait for the opportunity to attack the mountain and occupy this high ground after we have launched an attack here. ”

"Hi" Kaneji Okazaki didn't hesitate and immediately answered loudly.

Tanaka nodded with satisfaction, and immediately ordered Nagaoka Ikuzo on the side: "Nagaoka-kun, your third squadron is the main force for a frontal attack. If the situation is unfavorable, I will order the artillery platoon to carry out fire support, and then it will be time for the officers and men of your third squadron to show their courage, if you can take the enemy's position under the attack of artillery fire, you will remember your first merit in this battle, and personally report your heroic achievements to His Excellency the Wing Commander. ”

Nagaoka Izo bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, if you don't take the enemy's position in this battle, no one in our squadron will retreat." ”

Looking at the two squadron leaders who were full of fighting spirit, Tanaka Tatsuzo couldn't help but be very pleased, he turned his head to Haraguchi River on the side and said: "The first squadron has been fighting from Shimen all the way here, and the losses are not small, and this battle is the reserve of the entire brigade. Haraguchi-kun, you stay here and watch the battle with me, and when Nagaoka-kun tears through the enemy's defenses, you will go up and reinforce them. The strength of the enemy army in front of me is not weak, but it is their misfortune to meet us, and in this battle, I will definitely annihilate this enemy army here and completely crush the will of the enemy army in front of me. ”

"Itachi!" The officers on the side roared in vain, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who heard the sound shouted one after another along with the roar, and the sound of more than 1,000 people at the same time was very loud and amazing.

In this high-pitched roar, the Japanese army opened up and slowly approached the position of the third company.

The north wind is howling and the chill is pressing. Perhaps because of the proximity to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, the cold wind carries a biting coldness, which penetrates into the bone marrow, making people a little unbearable even if they are wearing cotton clothes.

Listening to the high-pitched roar of the Japanese army in the distance, and watching the devil slowly approaching again, Rui Chenglong on the side sighed and said: "Mother, this ghost weather, I'm afraid it won't be long before the snow falls." ”

Cheng Zhong smiled when he heard this: "It's not so fast, it will take at least more than a month, and it will take so long enough for us to hit the devil in front of us." ”

Rui Chenglong couldn't help but look at Cheng Chong in surprise and said, "Old Cheng, can this battle still hit the little devil hard?" ”

Cheng Zhong couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course you can, this battle has just begun, although the friendly troops in the sixth theater have retreated all the way, but this is just that they did not judge the combat intentions of the devils in the early stage, and they were exploited by the little devils." Once we've withstood the onslaught of devils everywhere, it's time for us to counterattack. Haven't all the wars been like this in the past few years? Like the battle we fought, how dangerous is that? The devil's three-way army marched together, and almost captured Shanggao, but the result? In the end, don't you let us fight, eat a piece, fight and eat again, and almost can't go back in the end? ”

Seeing that Rui Chenglong seemed to be a little depressed, Cheng Zhong couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" Tired of fighting? ”

Rui Chenglong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Mother, a few good days are over, and I am really a little afraid of moving." This person is a cheap bone, he never knows how to be satisfied, he only thought about surviving on the battlefield, and he was satisfied if he could have a full bite to eat. Later, he continued to win battles behind the regiment commander, and thought that he could be an officer and receive more money for his family. It's good now, I have everything, but I'm a little tired of fighting. ”

Cheng Zhong smiled and said, "Who is not like this?" Never be satisfied is the only way to make people progress! But ah, in my opinion, this battle won't last long, I heard that the devil's homeland has been hit, how long can the devil hold out? Last time, I heard the head of the regiment say that the devil's small island in the East Ocean is only the size of one of our provinces, and once such a large place is bombed, it will not be completely destroyed. ”

As they spoke, the soldiers who had been observing the movements of the devils in front of them had already begun to shout: "Company commander, the devils are coming, there are a lot of people, the formation is very compact, and there are still two hundred steps away from us. ”

Cheng Chong looked up when he heard this, and then sneered and said: "If you want to say that the devils are not powerful, most of our land has been occupied by them, but if you want to say that they are powerful, it is very rigid and dogmatic to fight!" The previous tentative attack did not work, and it was really self-defeating to think of using the superiority of numbers to attack our defenses, knowing only that our marksmanship was accurate. ”

Rui Chenglong on the side also watched the movements of the devil, and couldn't help laughing when he heard Cheng Chong's words: "Old Cheng, didn't you deliberately want to cause such an effect?" If the devil is not fooled, I will be in a hurry. ”

Saying that, he smiled again: "I heard that this trick is still a method that the regiment commander came up with, and the result is really tried and tested, it is such a simple move, but it can kill the devil to a great extent every time, the regiment commander is really a genius in war, I really don't know what his brain is made of, how can there be so many ideas and ideas for fighting?" ”

Cheng nodded and said: "We are now using some old tricks left by the regiment commander, when the regiment commander was still the company commander, he charged at the forefront of every battle, and that battle was really enjoyable." At that time, the regiment commander was fighting, it was really unusual, and he could think of any moves, no matter how powerful the little devil was, he would only have to die in front of us. However, these tactics are not suitable for all troops, at least put the devils at a distance of twenty or thirty paces before fighting, this kind of battle is not a unit that has absolute confidence in hand-to-hand combat, and it will never dare to use it. ”

The Japanese troops of the second squadron have certainly moved rapidly towards the flank, and the third squadron has also quickly approached the position of the third company, preparing to launch a fierce attack with all its might.

The commander of the 3rd Squadron of the Japanese Army, Nagaoka Shozo, personally went to the front line to direct the attack, and he did not stop until he was one hundred and fifty paces away from the front of the position. Seeing that there was no movement on the enemy position in front of him, as the captain said, he couldn't help frowning. Don't look at the unusually resolute and affirmative things he said in front of the captain before, but when he actually went to the front line to command the battle, he was still quite cautious. After all, bullets on the battlefield don't have eyes, and people's lives are also very fragile.

At this moment, when he saw that the troops advancing on the front line had advanced to a distance of one hundred and twenty paces in front of the enemy's position, he immediately waved at the executive officer on the side.

The executive officer immediately understood, nodded, and ordered all the machine gunners in the squadron to act immediately, they moved quickly, chose a favorable terrain to arm, and then set up machine gun positions in a very short time. Seeing that the machine guns on the side were already in place, Nagaoka Ikuzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the machine guns to open fire and ordered the infantry to attack.

A string of bullets swept into the position of the third company, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers piled up in front of the position immediately became full of holes under the ravages of bullets. What's even worse is the bloody scene in front of you, which is really like purgatory on earth.

The soldiers of the Third Company are actually quite good, after all, they have long been accustomed to this situation, let alone the current situation. It is the "Jingguan" with the devil's head built on the head, and they have also built a lot of it with their own hands, not to mention that they are in the field trenches, and they can't see it very clearly, but the Japanese army that is attacking head-on is unavoidable and unavoidable at the moment. This psychological hurdle must be overcome in order to break through into the enemy's position, but how difficult is it to say what it is?
