Chapter 540: The Price of Underestimating the Enemy

I have to admire the efficiency of the Japanese Kwantung Army field troops, it is very high. Just as the wing chief of staff left the headquarters, in less than ten minutes, two infantry brigades with nearly 2,000 soldiers were already ready to go.

The little Japanese took the heavy machine guns belonging to the brigade and began to quickly move towards the forward position. At the same time, the Japanese artillery position less than two kilometers away from the headquarters began to attack the Shimenling garrison position.

Another speech of….

"Boom, boom, boom..." Amidst the dense explosions, a complete set of defensive civil engineering works built by the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Shimenling immediately fell into a fire... And after more than an hour of bloody battles at the forward position,

The anti-alliance regiment and battalion, which had already suffered more than half of their casualties and were almost out of ammunition and food, were making their last stand as a Chinese Communist under artillery fire...

"Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. If you don't give the order to retreat to the First Battalion, the entire First Battalion will be destroyed by the continuous attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops in less than half an hour. Commander-in-Chief

, just give the order..." Behind the Shimenling Anti-Union Defense Position, in a semi-underground bunker headquarters. After the troops were besieged by the Japanese army, the reorganized head of the First Anti-Union Regiment said nothing in front of him.

Hair, Yang Jingyu frowned and said...

"Can we retreat now? The enemy's artillery fire is so fierce. If we retreat at this time, how many soldiers can be retreated? If we want to retreat, we must wait for the enemy's artillery fire to end. In addition, we must do everything possible to tell the first battalion commander

, let him lead the troops to hold on for the last ten minutes. Ten minutes later, reinforcements will arrive to take over the entire position..." After a few seconds of silence, Yang Jingyu said with determination...

"Reinforcements. But, Commander-in-Chief, where will we find reinforcements now? In the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance, almost every battalion fought bloody battles in the forward positions for no less than an hour. Some of the main battalions even went up multiple times.

Fighting on the front lines... After five consecutive days of bloody battles, several main battalions have been defeated..." Wang Minggui, the leader of the first anti-alliance regiment who just spoke, asked with a confused look on his face...

"There is another unit that we have not used. This unit, far away in the horizon and right in front of us, is the last remaining direct guard battalion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Order the guard battalion to prepare for battle immediately. After the enemy's shelling is over, run

Enter the position and take over the first battalion on the position to hold the position. Tell Battalion Commander Wang that even if the entire guard battalion is wiped out, not a single kid can cross the Shimenling defense line..." Yang Jingyu ordered with a firm look on his face...

"Commander-in-Chief, the guard battalion has been sent out. Who will protect your safety... No, absolutely no, I will bring a group of remaining soldiers to reinforce, and the guard battalion will stay behind to protect the safety of the headquarters..." As he spoke, a group

The regiment leader Wang Minggui hurriedly stood up from his seat and wanted to rush out of the headquarters to summon the troops...

"Stop here, I am the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Whatever you Wang Guiming is yelling about here, just sit down..." Looking at Wang Guiming who wanted to leave, General Yang Jingyu couldn't help but yell. In an instant, just now,

The still noisy headquarters immediately became quiet. As for Wang Guiming, the regiment leader who was hurriedly preparing to lead troops to reinforce the forward position, faced with the angry-looking commander-in-chief, he had to retreat and return to his own

s position…

"Comrades, I won't tell you the situation we are currently facing in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but everyone is very clear about it. It can be said that the gain or loss of Shimen Ridge is related to the life and death of our entire Anti-Japanese Alliance. If Shimen Ridge is lost, our resistance will be

The Alliance will also face the end of the entire army being annihilated. At that time, the little Japanese will be able to march straight into the last base area owned by our Anti-Alliance. By that time, the Anti-Alliance will be gone, so what is the use of having a guard battalion.

Everyone executes the order, and the guard battalion will set off immediately to reinforce the forward position and replace the first battalion on the position. Then, it must be nailed there like a nail..." Facing the dozen or so regiment-level and above soldiers in front of me,

Commander, Yang Jingyu decisively ordered...

As a combat staff officer left, looking at the commander who fell silent in the headquarters, Yang Jingyu continued: "Of course, don't be discouraged. This time the enemy only has a hundred thousand troops. In addition to the ones responsible for encircling the enemy,

*In addition to our large number of troops, the only thing left in front of us is the more than 10,000 people in front of us. As long as we hold here, block the enemy's offensive, and disintegrate the enemy's offensive, then our resistance alliance will not be wiped out. Therefore,

From now on, everyone here will start to move. Now I order..."

"Each regiment will return to its own camp immediately, and all the troops that have retreated from the front-line positions and can continue to fight will be gathered together for a unified reorganization. After the reorganization is completed, they will immediately report to me the remaining battles of the troops.

Strength, and at the same time, be prepared to reinforce the guard camp. Today, our resistance alliance is here, vowing to live and die with Shimenling..."

"Swear to live and die with Shimenling..." More than a dozen commanders above the regiment level faced the commander-in-chief's passionate orders without any hesitation. They raised their fists and shouted loudly...

"Okay, at this moment, I am very happy to see that my comrades have the same high morale as me. However, whether we can succeed depends on everyone's actions. The enemy does not have much time left for us. From now on

At first, everyone will perform tasks separately, and the meeting will be adjourned..." Seeing everyone's reactions, Yang Jingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the order to adjourn the meeting...

At this moment, the Japanese army's round of shelling also ended. As the shelling ended, the two captains who received the order from the regiment commander Matsuda Daisaku also began to become ruthless. In the shortest possible time, the two infantrymen were

The brigade, with a total of more than 20 heavy machine guns, was transported to the forefront of the offensive position, and began to use these heavy machine guns to carry out intensive suppressive fire on the forward positions of the Shimenling Anti-Japanese Alliance...

"Da da da..." In the dense rain of bullets, a battalion of more than a hundred soldiers who had just passed through the enemy's artillery fire and survived. Facing the rain of bullets flying above their heads, they looked around and saw that after the shelling just now, the entire battalion

With only three splayed light machine guns and a small amount of bullets left, I had to lower my head again, huddled in the trench, and prepared to fight the Japs in close combat...

At the foot of the mountain, looking at the anti-alliance position a few hundred meters away, suppressed by more than twenty heavy machine guns, there was no movement. The face of Major Ogura, captain of the second battalion of the 22nd Infantry Company, immediately showed

He smiled with satisfaction. Then, he said proudly to the commander of the third brigade, Major Yamaxian, next to him...

"Mr. Yamagata, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible at all times. Faced with the fierce artillery fire and intensive strafing against the Japanese Imperial Army, I believe that the anti-alliance forces holding on to their positions have been wiped out by us.

Almost exhausted…”

"Okura-kun, although there is no movement in the opposite position, I think we still cannot be careless. After all, the enemy in front of us, with the simple weapons in their hands, has blocked our army's attacks for five days. Therefore,

, I think our first attack should be mainly tentative..." Seeing Major Ogura's face full of contempt for the enemy, Major Yamagata, the captain of the third battalion, frowned and whispered

Reminder…

"Mr. Shanxian, you are too careful. However, what you said is very correct. We cannot underestimate the enemy. Let the first round of the attack be handed over to my Second Infantry Brigade. Order, the First Infantry Squadron of the Second Brigade

, Immediately launch an attack on the enemy's position..." Faced with the reminder from his colleagues, Major Ogura was very unhappy, but he had to respond.

Then, he ordered his First Infantry Squadron and nearly two hundred elite Kwantung Army soldiers to launch the first round of attacks. He was prepared to use actual actions to prove that what he just said was not to underestimate the enemy, but to attack the Empire of Japan.

Confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, confidence in the combat effectiveness of our own troops...

"Kill them..." Nearly two hundred little Japs, as a squadron leader quickly drew out his command knife and gave the order to attack, immediately shouted loud slogans and held up rifles with bayonets in their hands.

Under the cover of heavy machine gun fire, three dense lines of skirmishers lined up and launched a charge...

Facing the battlefield, the little Japanese were densely packed like waves of yellow waves. Although the remaining more than a hundred soldiers of the first battalion wanted to use the weapons in their hands to severely attack their arrogance, but

, facing the bullets flying overhead, they could only give up the unrealistic idea in their hearts. Then, a pair of hands tightly held the rifle in their hands, pricked their ears, and were ready to fight back...

"Everyone is here, fix your bayonets immediately. After a while, listen to my order, throw out all the grenades on your body, greet the little devil, and avenge those brothers who sacrificed their lives... Prepare the grenades..." Facing the increasingly serious situation,

The little Japanese was approaching. Just as more than a hundred soldiers were tensing their nerves and getting ready for battle, the voice of a battalion commander rang out in the trenches.

Immediately, a handful of bright bayonets were inserted into the muzzles of rifles by more than a hundred soldiers. At the same time, grenades were neatly placed in front of them by the soldiers, with the pull tabs of the grenades

They were also pulled out. Every soldier, except for machine gunners and marksmen, all held a grenade and were ready to throw it...

At this moment, the offensive formation composed of nearly two hundred little devils was less than a hundred meters away from the first battalion's position. Looking at his troops, they easily attacked the hundred meters without encountering any resistance.

Within meters... The face of Major Ogura, the captain of the second brigade, immediately showed an excited look. He said proudly to Major Yamagata next to him...

"Mr. Shanxian, what I said is not wrong. The timid Chinese people have already collapsed under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese Imperial Army. You see, one of my squadrons has already attacked within a hundred meters. The enemy on the opposite side has already collapsed.

There is still no response from the position. I think that the first success in breaking through the Shimenling defense line of the Anti-Japanese Alliance this time belongs to our Second Infantry Brigade..."

"Okura-kun, it's better to be careful. The anti-Union troops are too cunning. I think the offensive troops are too dense in formation. If the enemy counterattacks with grenades, the troops will definitely suffer huge casualties...

"Faced with such a smooth attack, when thinking about the endless counterattacks of the anti-alliance forces in the past five days, Major Yamaxian always felt that there seemed to be a very huge conspiracy shrouding the attacking troops. Seeing around him

Major Ogura looked down upon the enemy, while Major Yamagata still frowned and continued to remind...

"Shan Xianjun, you are really too careful. Counterattack with grenades is a very good way. However, after the fierce bombardment by our army's artillery fire, the Chinese people on the mountain have long since lost this opportunity..."

"At this moment, faced with the repeated reminders from Major Yamagata, Major Ogura's face slowly showed a look of contempt. Then, with a hint of ridicule, he said to Major Yamagata next to him...

However, just as he finished speaking, his whole person stayed there for an instant. Because, in his telescope, there was still a quiet and motionless Anti-Union blocking position. As he heavy

The machine gun stopped firing, and countless heads immediately appeared. Following closely, came raindrops of grenades, falling into his attack formation...

"Bagaya Road, how could this happen? Where did these Chinese people come from? Baga... boom boom boom..." Just when Ogura Shao Zuo had just recovered from the shock, he had not finished his sentence.

, a huge explosion sound reached his ears, interrupting his cursing...

As the sound of the explosion came to mind, more than a hundred Imperial Army soldiers who had been in high morale just now and were arrayed in a dense offensive formation were immediately enveloped in bursts of gunpowder smoke generated by the explosion of grenades...

"Boom, boom, boom..." The violent explosions were like thorns, piercing into the heart of Major Ogura. In a tight moment, just now because the army was progressing smoothly, because

The excited and flushed Major Ogura's face immediately turned pale. At the same time, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead...

The explosion of the entire grenade lasted for half a minute, and the little devil Major Ogura's thinking also paused for half a minute. As the last explosion sounded, a loud charge horn blew him away

I woke up from my dream. Through the smoke in front of the position, more than a hundred anti-alliance soldiers with bayonets appeared in my eyes...

The Chinese people, who had always thought they were very cowardly, actually raised their bayonets and launched a close counterattack against the Japanese Imperial Army. The scene in front of him once again shocked Major Ogura. However, at this time, he had to

Faced with this cruel and unbelievable reality.

Because, more than a hundred anti-union soldiers, with sharp bayonets pointed out, rushed in front of their own troops. At this moment, after the explosion of the grenade rain just now, there were less than a hundred soldiers left in the entire infantry squadron. Likewise,

Holding the bayonet in his hand, he rushed into the formation of the Anti-Union Army. In a matter of seconds, the two troops collided...

More than two hundred soldiers from both sides began to engage in the cruelest and cruelest hand-to-hand combat at the front of the position... As the sharp bayonets stabbed into the stomachs of each soldier with a "chichi" sound,

A soldier who was full of fighting spirit just now fell unwillingly into a pool of blood...

In less than a few minutes, there were many gaps in what had just been a dense melee battlefield. At least fifty soldiers fell into a pool of blood and turned into corpses. However, careful people observed carefully.

At once, it can be clearly seen that among the more than 50 people who have just died in battle, there are only less than 20 little devils... And in the first battalion, there are more than 30 people...

After all, the battalion on the mountain position had been fighting for several hours in bloody battles, and both its physical strength and morale were greatly reduced. But the Little Devils were different. For the first attack, the morale of the troops was high.

.In less than ten minutes, the situation became overwhelming, and dozens of anti-union fighters who had entered the village slowly rushed towards the position on the top of the mountain...

"Yoshi, no matter how cunning the anti-Union soldiers are, they are still vulnerable to the heroic Imperial Japanese Army..." Seeing that although the attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, the attacking troops relied on the remaining squad to fight with

The bayonet forcefully defeated the resistance on the top of the mountain, and when they were about to occupy the entire forward position. Major Ogura, who had been pale just now, once again showed a smile on his face, and said to Major Yamagata next to him...

"Well, in terms of bayonet fighting, our Imperial Japanese Army can indeed be called the best in the world. Ogura Army, the offensive force is about to occupy the enemy's forward position. In order to prevent the counterattack of the follow-up forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I suggest

, immediately dispatch a new wave of troops, rush to the position, reinforce the First Squadron, and hold on to the breakthrough we just opened..." After seeing the disadvantaged imperial soldiers after the grenade explosion, with the bayonets in their hands, they suddenly reversed

The battle ended. Yamaxian Major could not help but nodded in appreciation, and then reminded him very sensibly...

"Yo Xi, order the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Squadron to launch an attack immediately, reinforce the first group, hold on to the breakthrough, and resolutely not allow the Anti-Japanese Alliance to retake this forward position..." Regarding the proposal of Major Shanxian, at this moment, after just

Major Ogura didn't hesitate anymore and immediately gave the order to the deputy captain behind him.

"Hai, your Excellency the captain..." Immediately, two infantry squadrons and more than 300 Japanese soldiers, under the leadership of their squadron leaders, rushed out of the offensive position at their fastest charging speed and headed not far away.

Rushing past the battlefield where a fierce battle was taking place...

However, was the Shimenling position that the Anti-Japanese Alliance held for five days really so easily occupied by the Japanese army? The answer is no. Because, just as the Japanese army had just sent reinforcements, the reinforcements of the first battalion of the Anti-Union Army were

The direct guard battalion has rushed to the battlefield...
