"Kitahara-kun, if you heard me correctly, the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire lasted for six rounds. This should be the most violent artillery fire they could unleash!"

"Your Excellency General, everything is as you expected. The Eighth Route Army's counterattack was very fierce. No less than eight Imperial-made 92 heavy machine guns were used. This is the heavy firepower of a machine gun squadron. No less than 500 troops were used to hear the shouts of killing.

, this is already a desperate move with all the troops mobilized, do you really not consider launching a counter-attack on the other side?"

Beiyuan is still a little tender and is already eager to try.

Ushijima just shook his head like a fox, with a wise expression on his face, and educated Kitahara again:

"Kitahara-kun, Chu Xiong is already making a desperate move. This shows that they can no longer afford to fight such a positional battle. They are fooling around in vain. Why should the imperial army accompany them to take risks?"

"Let him be beaten by the wind and rain, I will not move! The more anxious Chu Xiong is, it means that our tactics are effective. We only need to drive them away tonight! Tomorrow, we will first carry out three rounds of squadron-sized attacks, and then consume the Eighth Route Army

With great vigor, he struck hard in the fourth round and defeated the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!"

"Kitahara-kun, just keep an eye on me, I'll take a nap first!"

After Ushijima finished speaking, he deliberately yawned, then went back to the camp bed to sleep. The old Japanese soldier Kitahara's eyes were filled with stars when he saw this - the demeanor of a famous general!

An hour later, as Ushijima expected, the Eighth Route Army's night attack returned without success. In addition to consuming a large amount of ammunition, it achieved nothing and only caused dozens of casualties to the imperial army.

After the Eighth Route Army withdrew, there was no further harassment. Both sides had a good sleep. When the cold winter sun rose again, a new day of fighting was about to begin again!

In the day's battle, the initiative returned to the Japs. After recuperating all night, the Japs sent a new force to take over the attack of the first brigade, which had suffered greater casualties.

In order to test the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese Second Battalion invested one and a half squadrons in the first attack. This time it was no longer limited to 80 meters away, but gave the leader Fukui squadron the power to attack independently.

The fourth company's forward position, today's defense was still completed by the fourth company. Chu Xiong's instructions to them were to pretend to be weak, and then retreat to the second line of defense, leaving the first line of defense to the Japanese.

"Company Commander, the Japs are attacking. There are at least 300 Japs. The Japs are betting big!"

"Lao Ma, have the bombs been planted? You have to check it yourself, but you can't go out on a business trip!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Dayuan quickly patted his chest and promised:

"Company Commander, just keep your heart in mind. The five artillery pieces have been buried, and I personally connected all the wires. I guarantee that the Japanese will get on the ground plane."

When Tan Tao heard this, he immediately felt relieved and signaled to Ma Dayuan that he could lead two platoons to withdraw to the second line of defense.

The distance between the second line of defense and the first line of defense is 120 meters. This distance is important. The first line of defense is dug into holes. If we organize troops to attack the second line of defense, this starting position will make the Japanese very uncomfortable.

It's not easy to deploy troops.

The Eighth Route Army guarding the second line of defense was in a commanding position, and the distance of 120 meters was just enough to unleash the power of all weapons.

"Company commander, how about you go down and I play with the Japanese?"

"Old Ma, the Japanese are coming soon, execute the order!"

Seeing the company commander's insistence, Ma Dayuan said no more and led a platoon through the traffic trench to withdraw to the second line of defense. At the same time, a platoon of the fifth company also withdrew. The two of them set up machine guns on the second line of defense.

, to prevent the Japanese from catching up.

Captain Fukui is a man with ideas. He still wants to make meritorious deeds with three hundred warriors!

At least the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army must be captured and the brigade commander can see his bravery. If so many squadron leaders want to stand out, they must show dazzling military exploits.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

Having already entered within 80 meters of the first line of defense on the Eighth Route, Fukui had no intention of stopping;

Tan Tao also decisively gave the order to open fire. Since two platoons were withdrawn, the firepower was obviously much weaker.

The changes in the Eighth Route Army's firepower were keenly felt by Old Man Fukui. Fukui was overjoyed and secretly said:

"Yo Xi, as expected, the Eighth Route Army has no ammunition. This is a good opportunity."

Thinking of this, Fukui once again issued the order to advance.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

"Bah hook bah hook!"

Only the sound of rifle fire was heard, and machine guns rarely fired...

The Fukui Squadron became more and more courageous as they fought, and soon they advanced another twenty or thirty meters!

"Grenade!"

Following Tan Tao's order, dozens of grenades were thrown at the Japanese. As soon as Fukui saw it, he immediately fell down, his movements were very professional.

"Boom boom boom!"

Taking advantage of the smoke generated by the grenade explosion, Tan Tao led the remaining two platoons to quickly retreat towards the second line of defense. In order to confuse the Japanese, they did not take the traffic trench, but bent down and retreated directly from the position.

The distance of more than 100 meters only took ten or twenty seconds. Before the Japanese could react, they had already retreated to the second line of defense.

"Kill, give, give"

When Fukui saw that the Eighth Route Army had retreated, he led his 300 warriors to pursue them all the way. Soon they broke through the first line of defense and wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue them to the second line of defense.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The machine guns of Ma Dayuan's platoon and the fifth company's first platoon rang out, quickly blocking the path for the Japanese to pursue. If the old Japanese from Fukui hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been responsible for this.

"Bagaya Road, cunning and cunning one, retreat to the trenches!"

Fukui's idea was to occupy the first trench first.

The Japanese retreated like a tide into the trenches of the first line of defense. Ma Dayuan in the distance showed a cruel smile on his face:

"You damn little devils, grandpa invites you to take a plane!"

After saying that, he pressed the electromagnetic detonation switch hard...

Boom boom boom!

Before the Japs could gain a foothold, several huge explosions rang out among the Japs. Each bomb contained 15 kilograms of bitter explosives, which gave the old Japs from Fukui a huge surprise.

More than 300 Japanese soldiers were enveloped in the light smoke produced by the explosion, and their broken limbs were flying in the sky...

The old Japanese from Fukui had better luck. He only had his internal organs shattered, but at least a whole body remained. Amaterasu would still take it!

"Bagaya road!"

After Ushijima finished cursing, he closed his eyes in pain. He was really sad and happy at the same time.

One second they were secretly rejoicing that the Imperial Army had finally made progress and captured the first line of defense, but the next second they fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick and lost hundreds of elite warriors!

"Bagaya road!"

Ushijima secretly warned himself in his heart that victory or defeat was a normal matter for a military strategist. It was just a small defeat for the imperial army. With 300 warriors, the imperial army could still afford the loss!

It was not without gain. After this explosion, the Eighth Route Army's first line of defense was completely leveled. A small tactical victory could not change the strategic situation.

"Kitahara-kun, continue the attack!"

After thinking about this, Ushijima felt a little better. He didn't believe there were so many explosives.
Chapter completed!
