The machine gun team in the infantry squad was firing at the bunker with light machine guns. The other soldiers were also using their rifles and submachine guns to suppress the opponent. The bullets hitting the bunker made a loud banging sound, making it difficult for the little Japs inside to carry out effective operations.

shooting.

The soldier named Er Dou and his deputy quickly took advantage of this opportunity and ran forward for about ten meters. The bullets whizzed past him. Er Dou was not afraid and quickly squatted on the ground. The deputy quickly took out the rocket and loaded it for him.

He pulled out the safety and patted the helmet on his head.

"Okay!"

"call out……"

The rocket dragged its long flame tail towards the bunker. With a loud noise, the bunker blocking their advance was blown to pieces, and the little devils inside turned into several charred corpses.

"Come on!"

The squad leader shouted and ran forward with a vigorous stride. However, at this moment, a cluster of fire suddenly appeared in what looked like a haystack not far away.

"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"

The bullets knocked several soldiers who were charging forward to the ground. The squad leader rolled to the side and barely managed to avoid it, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Everyone spread out! Erdou, come closer quickly!"

Before Er Dou could rush forward, their platoon leader led another wave of people and rushed over. Another rocket fired away, and the bunker instantly turned into a ball of fire.

"Bang bang...ding!"

The sound of Garand's empty magazine sounded, and the platoon leader immediately lay on the ground to change the magazine. The soldiers behind him raised their guns in time to continue shooting. More soldiers crossed the layers of trench barbed wire, taking turns to cover and rush forward.

The soldiers in the guard battalion are the most elite members of the Sichuan Army. The Sansan combat team works very well together. They use squads and platoons as the main offensive units. They are not far apart from each other and can support their comrades in time with powerful firepower.

1:49…

The enemies in the outermost small forts and trenches have been basically cleared. They have entered the perimeter of the three defenses and are moving towards the central position.

The first battalion from the top of the mountain attacked even more fiercely. They advanced to a distance of 50 meters from the main fort. The Japanese army's rear defense was relatively weak. In addition, it was difficult to cover everything with enemies on both sides.

It's just that the main fortress group in the center was built very cunningly, with countless firepower points emerging from each shooting hole, and the dense bullets seemed to be harvesting the lives of the soldiers without interruption.

The assault squad that had just rushed up was wiped out in an instant, and the last bunkers had been reinforced, so the bazooka could only chew off a layer of skin on them.

In the entire Nantianmen position, apart from the tree fort, the most proud thing is Takeuchi's headquarters, the largest main fort in the middle of the three defense bunkers.

This huge permanent fortification, which covers an area of ​​about 30 square meters and is half buried underground, is like a hedgehog, constantly spraying out a sudden burst of bullets. Countless soldiers died under it.

"It's dead, it's dead! It can't be pushed anymore, let the brothers take a break!" Meng Fangli hid behind the bunker and shouted to Long Wenwen who was not far away.

"Do you have a Pyro on your team?"

Long Wenwen shook the dirt off his head, carefully raised his head and looked forward. They were only one step away from the main fort, but the enemy's firepower was too strong and they couldn't rush through for a while.

"Bang!"

"咻咻咻咻..."

Meng Fangli was forced back by the Japanese firepower just after he fired a shot. Those interconnected fortresses were really uncomfortable.

"Yes, it's at the back. If you go up now, you will be a living target. Let's wait and see the progress of the leader!"

Buzzing…

At this moment... there was a roar in the sky, and six P40 fighters suddenly appeared over the battlefield. After receiving Liao Mingyu's request, Jamie brought his flight formation to support again today.

"All right, guys, start working!"

Six P40s dived down in three formations, with a 300-kilogram aerial bomb hanging under each fighter plane. Their targets were those solid fortresses that were difficult to shake!

"Boom! Boom!"

The P40 is famous for its high-speed dive. The fighter planes roared straight down and pulled up at a very high speed, and two huge mushroom clouds instantly rose above the Japanese position.

With the precise throwing of six fighter planes, several solid fortresses were blown to pieces. Dust flying into the sky along with broken limbs and broken arms were all blown up beyond recognition.

"Come on!"

The Sichuan Army Corps, which was full of momentum, took this opportunity to rush forward desperately. Braving the hail of bullets, the soldiers had already jumped into the three-defense position. They continued to use blasting tubes or flamethrowers to clear the remaining bunkers.

"call……!!"

Fire snakes swept over one after another. No matter how strong the defense was, the fortress could not withstand the ruthless burning of the flames. The Japanese who were burned into burning men fled from the fortifications like crazy. These little devils waved

Their limbs screamed in agony, but what greeted them was ruthless projectiles.

The soldiers blocked the entrances of the corridors and threw bundles of cluster grenades in to blow them up. For those traffic corridors that could not be blown up in a short time... flamethrowers are the best insecticide.

The high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees is not only scorching, but the burning gasoline will instantly consume all the oxygen in the tunnel and release a large amount of carbon dioxide. Even those little Japanese who are not burned to death will suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

The fire-breathing soldiers followed the regimental leader's instructions carefully. Whenever they saw any suspicious hole, they would open it without saying a word and spray violently inside.

The Japanese army quickly shrank its troops and retreated again and again, but the defense line had collapsed, and the little Japanese could no longer stop the Sichuan Army's assault!

…

Inside the headquarters of the Japanese main fortress.

Takeuchi sat quietly on his knees on the ground, his eyes closed tightly, and there was no expression on his face. He seemed to have entered a state of selflessness. At this moment, the sound of gunfire outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Report to the captain, the Chinese have broken through the outer defense line!"

…

"Report to the captain, the Chinese people from the top of the mountain are approaching the main castle."

…

"Captain! The US military plane has just dropped a bomb. Our side has suffered heavy losses. The defense line...has been lost...the Chinese are approaching towards the main fort!"

…

A series of bad news continued to reach Takeuchi's ears, but he remained motionless like an old monk in trance, as if nothing could arouse the slightest disturbance in his heart.

There was a pot of sake in front of him. Takeuchi picked up the cup and took a sip. The familiar taste on his tongue and teeth made him feel extremely homesick.

"さくら, さくら, Yayoi の空は, Miwata すかぎり, Kasumi か云か..."

Takeuchi poured another glass of wine, and the songs of his hometown slowly hummed in his mouth, but a sad atmosphere gradually filled the air.

Many officers and soldiers in the headquarters also lowered their heads silently at this moment. Several Japanese soldiers could not help but sing along with this tragic song, and even more secretly shed tears.

They all know that there is no way they can go back...

At this time, Chief of Staff Yoshino, whose face was covered with blood and his body was dark, ran in hurriedly and said to Takeuchi: "Your Excellency, Captain! The Chinese have surrounded the main castle. Please take shelter in the underground passage for now!"

Takeuchi Renshan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, only to see that the latter's officer uniform was dirty and the blood on his forehead seemed to tell the story of the fierce battle outside.

"How many people are left in the army?" Takeuchi said slowly. He lowered his head again, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"There are more than two hundred soldiers left..." Yoshino said with difficulty.

With enemies on both sides of the defense line, and coupled with the Chinese's sharp offensive weapons and air strikes, it was pretty good that the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers with half of them injured could hold on until now.

"But... the vanguard of the Sato Alliance has arrived at Lotus Town and is heading towards Nantianmen. If we continue..."

Takeuchi Renshan raised his head and smiled sadly, gently waving his hand to signal Yoshino to stop talking.

How can these people defend it? The Chinese will break through the main fortress in less than half an hour. Is there any need for rescue?

More than 6,000 people from the Takeuchi Regiment and the large troops supported by Shojiro Iida were lost in this battle. How could he have the nerve to go back? Even if he went back... he would be dead.

…

At 2:30, the Sichuan Army completed the encirclement and forced all the remaining Japanese into the main fort.

The sound of gunfire continued, and the soldiers' wave-like attack did not leave the Japanese army any chance to breathe.

However, the difficulty of capturing the main fortress is still somewhat unexpected. The shells hitting it can only leave a small hole, but those densely packed shooting holes can shoot endlessly around. There are already nearly a company.

Many soldiers fell to the enemy's guns, but progress was still slow.

Liao Mingyu immediately decided to stop this life-threatening attack. He first concentrated all the flamethrowers, and then used a large number of smoke bombs to cover the entire perimeter of the main fort.

Seven or eight flamethrowers and two assault squads used the smoke to quickly approach the enemy. The little Japs in the main fort immediately realized the danger and kept shooting wildly outside.

While running, four or five soldiers were knocked to the ground by blindly fired bullets. The screams of injured soldiers attracted the attention of the little devil, and they discovered the enemy's position. The little devil was very stupid and replaced the ordinary bullets with

Pull the light bomb and guide your companions to shoot in that direction.

A flamethrower who was following behind quickly crawled to the ground, but was unable to escape the bullet.

The fuel tank behind him was punctured, and the leaked fuel was ignited by the flare bullet. Before he could react, the flames instantly devoured his body.

"Ahhh! Save me...save me!!"

"Bang!"

The shrill screams made his scalp numb, and the squad leader immediately shot him to end his suffering.

He was doused with burning gasoline and could not be extinguished in a short time. In this case, he could only end his pain. Others did not dare to stop at all and continued to run forward as fast as possible.

However, the thick smoke blocked most of the Japanese's sight, and also provided excellent cover for the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion. The fire-breathing soldiers worked hard and finally entered within a 20-meter range.

"call…!"

Several fire dragons sprayed towards the main castle in an instant, and dense flames spread inward from the shooting holes and observation ports.
To be continued...
