Chapter nine hundred and twentieth seven murderous mercenaries
"Oh God! Lieutenant General George, you are committing murder! In today's battle!, more than half of my army has suffered casualties. If we persist for one more day, all of my army will die on the high ground. You want my army to die?"
It is simply impossible to persist for three days!" The commander of the 24th US Army jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said with a very exaggerated expression and tone.
"Your Excellency Major General, I firmly believe that your army will persevere.
Today, your military losses are heavy, but I believe that the losses of those Japanese dwarfs are several times that of yours. They are already timid, and their attacks tomorrow will not be as fierce as today! I assure you, if those Japanese
No matter how powerful the Japanese attack is, I will replace you with other troops!" Lieutenant General George said.
"Okay, okay! Lieutenant General, you are the biggest here, you have the final say! I also hope that the Japanese will not dare to launch a large-scale attack tomorrow! However, this possibility will be very small. However, Lieutenant General
Sir, I always think the Chinese tactics are really despicable. They use
When the Japanese come to fight us, no matter how many people they lose, they will not feel bad. The Chinese population is much larger than ours, and their military resources are much larger than ours. If this continues, it will be very difficult for us.
Unfavorable!" said the commander of the 24th U.S. Army.
"Your Majesty, Major General, this is not something that you and I have the final say on. Let's wait until you become the Minister of War before we talk about this! Now, it's time for you to organize your defense. I hope that your defense line will not be attacked by those Japanese troops tomorrow.
Little Man breaks through!" Lieutenant General George said.
"Yes, Lieutenant General!" The commander of the 24th Army had no choice but to leave.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on January 29, when the sun had just risen from the horizon, the Japanese mercenaries were already ready for battle. Yesterday's huge casualties did not greatly affect their morale, or rather
, when they joined the Japanese mercenaries, they had already guessed that there would be such a result. For Japanese mercenary soldiers, joining the army, dying on the battlefield, and being able to obtain generous pensions for their families, this may be the reason for them
The greatest use.
"Everyone, yesterday we deployed six divisions to attack the highlands on both sides. I know that we fought a very difficult battle. The American weapons were much more advanced than ours. However, the situation on the battlefield is also unknown to us.
We all know very well that the American will to fight is extremely fragile. Under the desperate attack of the samurai, they simply cannot
They are not our opponents. Therefore, although it is difficult to defeat the Americans, it is not impossible. Yesterday, I promised the commander of the Chinese army that we will definitely capture two highlands today. I hope
, you will not let us down!" General Oshima Yoshimasa looked at the division commanders and said loudly.
"Hai! Your Majesty General, we will definitely complete the mission!" All the division leaders replied one after another.
In the distance, the artillery of the Chinese army is also ready for battle. Thousands of heavy artillery are divided into three parts. Heavy howitzers and heavy cannons with a caliber of more than 155 mm will be used as weapons to suppress the US artillery. Once the US military's
If the artillery begins shelling, they will be responsible for destroying the US artillery. The remaining 105mm light howitzers are divided into two parts to suppress the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis!
At 7:30 in the morning, Chinese artillery began to bombard the U.S. military positions. Intense artillery shells fell on the high ground on both sides of the Hartianjis, with flames flying and smoke filling the air.
"Damn it, the Chinese attack started so early. It seems that today's battle will be even more difficult!" Major Thomas, the commander of the U.S. battalion, cursed. During yesterday's battle, only one-third of his battalion remained.
With the strength of his troops, he himself was scratched on his arm during hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, his guards rescued him in time, otherwise, he would have gone to see God long ago. Originally,
He could have retreated to the back to recuperate, but he chose to continue fighting with his comrades. Yesterday's battle made him see the horror of this war. At this time, of course he was not willing to leave his soldiers.
Almost all of these soldiers came from the same farm in Kansas as he did, and they were all good young men. He hoped to bring them back as much as possible.
"Every company, prepare to fight. Yesterday the Japanese attack was very fierce, but their losses were also very heavy. Today, we must also be prepared for a bloody battle!" Major Thomas ordered. There are more than 200 people left in the battalion.
, crowded in the artillery cave, huddled up, enduring the artillery fire of the Chinese army. The shells kept coming.
There was an explosion above their heads, and the entire high ground seemed to be shaking. Dust fell from the top of the shell-proof hole. The American soldiers hiding inside became disgraced. However, no one cared about this anymore.
On this cruel battlefield, being able to save one's life is considered very good!
After half an hour of shelling, the Japanese mercenaries launched an attack. This time, General Oshima Yoshimasa invested the strength of two divisions at once, each attacking a high ground. Moreover, General Oshima Yoshimasa was also ready.
With enough reserves, when a division in front suffers heavy losses, the division behind will quickly replace them.
General Oshima Yoshimasa is also full of confidence in today's attack. Once he successfully captures the US military position, he will undoubtedly gain importance in front of the Chinese generals. At least it can be proved that the combat power of Japanese mercenaries is better than that of North Korean mercenaries.
The army is much stronger!
"The Chinese Empire is on board! Kill! Kill all those white ghosts!" A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers shouted slogans, marched bow-legged, and rushed towards the U.S. military position. That kind of indomitable momentum made the U.S. troops defending on the high ground
The soldier was deeply shocked.
"Enter the position! The heavy machine guns and mortars are all set up and ready to fire!" The grassroots officers of the US military also led their troops into the position to prepare for the battle.
"Boys, listen, don't treat those Japanese dwarfs as human beings, just treat them as beasts. Kill them all. If you don't kill them, we will be the ones who die!" Major Thomas added to some new additions.
The soldiers in their battalion said that most of these soldiers were rookies who had never been on the battlefield. After seeing the desperate attack of the Japanese mercenary soldiers, they would be more or less afraid.
"Da da da! Boom boom boom!" The sound of dense gunfire rang out on the US military position. These US soldiers used the weapons in their hands to fire wildly, hoping to wipe out all the Japanese mercenaries who would invade. Yesterday
During the battle, they had already witnessed the brutal hand-to-hand combat after the position was broken through. Any American soldier who survived yesterday's battle was unwilling to experience such a battle again!
"Puff, puff, puff!" The bullets shot into the flesh at high speed, making a deep sound. After being shot, each Japanese mercenary soldier fell to the ground. Those soldiers who were hit by large-caliber heavy machine guns were even more severely beaten.
They were cut into two pieces, and some of the ones that didn't die immediately let out pitiful howls like ghosts crying and wolf howling.
"Charge! Charge up and kill all those white ghosts!" The low-level commanders of the Japanese mercenaries waved their command swords and took the lead in rushing to the front! This kind of leading role is what the Japanese mercenaries used to fight fiercely.
An important reason to not be afraid of death.
Some Japanese mercenary soldiers rushed to a place less than a hundred meters away from the US military position. They lay on the ground and started shooting at the US military. Although the US military's firepower was very powerful, the marksmanship of Japanese mercenary soldiers was generally very accurate.
Shooting at this distance did not suffer at all. American soldiers were constantly being killed, leaving a bullet hole in the helmet above their head.
Although the Japanese mercenaries suffered very heavy casualties under the intensive firepower of the US military, under their successive charges, the casualties of the US military gradually increased, and some lines of defense were almost broken through by the Japanese mercenaries.
.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, after three hours of hard fighting, the Japanese mercenaries were repulsed again. This time, General Oshima Yoshimasa replaced his troops with new troops. The addition of new troops made the U.S. military's position even more precarious.
At 10:40 a.m., the defense line on the mountainside of Highland No. 1 was the first to be broken through by Japanese mercenaries. A large number of Japanese mercenaries rushed into the trenches of the US military and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the US military. The US military, which suffered heavy losses, retreated steadily.
I'm about to be hired by Japan
The mercenary soldiers have captured the entire defense line. Once the Japanese mercenaries gain a foothold on the mountainside, they will be able to transport a large number of light artillery up and attack the US military at close range. By then, the US military will want to hold the high ground.
It's even more difficult.
At this time, the U.S. commander once again dispatched a reserve force. Thousands of U.S. soldiers rushed down from the high ground and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese mercenaries in an attempt to drive the Japanese mercenaries out of the U.S. position.
The Japanese mercenaries, who were fighting fiercely with the US troops on the defense line, once again lost their advantage on the battlefield under the attack of the US military reserves, and began to retreat back under the pressure of the US troops.
"Baga, what happened? Are we going to fall short again?" General Oshima Yoshimasa said angrily.
"Your Excellency, General, we must immediately reinforce the front line, otherwise our soldiers will be driven back!" A major general division commander suggested.
Lieutenant General Oshima Yoshimasa shook his head, and then ordered to the signal corps: "Get in touch with the Chinese artillery immediately and ask them to launch indiscriminate bombardment on the highlands!"
"Your Excellency, General, our people haven't been taken down yet!" several major generals and division leaders said nervously.
"No need to tear them down, let them be loyal to Japan!" General Oshima Yoshimasa stubbornly ordered!
