Chapter 631: Annihilating the Enemy in the Trench

In the temporary division headquarters of the Japanese 124th Division, the division commander Lieutenant General Fukuda, who had seen the entire battle, was livid at this moment, waiting for a detailed report from the captain of the Second Infantry Group in front of him.

Looking at the division commander with an angry face and a pair of eyes staring at him, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade said with a panic look on his face.

"I report to the division commander that I underestimated the enemy due to my humble position, which caused the attack of the Second Infantry Battalion to be frustrated and fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick. In the end, more than 400 imperial soldiers fell on the road of charge. I beg you, the division."

Your Majesty, Sir, can you give me another chance. I will definitely lead the remaining troops and rush to the Eighth Route Army positions to avenge the shattered imperial warriors."

"Underestimating the enemy is underestimating the enemy. Don't you know that your underestimation of the enemy eventually led to more than a thousand imperial warriors falling on the battlefield within a few hours? You are simply a shame to the Japanese Empire. This hatred,

The Imperial Army of Japan will definitely retaliate. However, because of your continuous command errors, you are no longer qualified to lead the army. Go down, I will give you one last chance to maintain the honor of a soldier and serve the Emperor.

Your Majesty, please apologize. Military police, take him down with me. Now, I don’t want to see him again..." Lieutenant General Fukuda waved his hand helplessly. He let out a long sigh and ordered decisively.

"Division Commander, please give me another chance. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield. Your Excellency, Division Commander..." Although the panic-stricken captain tried his best to plead. However, Fukuda Naka

The general did not show any emotion. With a wave of his hand, the captain, who had turned into a puddle of soft mud, was dragged out by two military policemen.

As the military police left, all the officers in the headquarters couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The chief of staff said: "Division Commander, there are still four hours until dark. The main force of our division

, whether to continue to launch an attack and strive to break through the enemy's defense line before dark."

"Yoshi, the Imperial Japanese Army will not be intimidated by the thousand casualties in front of them. We can no longer underestimate the enemy in this attack. Order the mountain artillery brigade of the field artillery regiment to immediately build artillery positions and concentrate

Artillery fire, bombard the Eighth Route Army positions. At the same time, request air support from Shenyang Airport. We must break through the Eighth Route Army positions before dark." The division commander, Lieutenant General Futian, slammed his clenched fist on the ammunition box in front of him.

, ordered with a murderous look on his face.

"Hai..." all the officers replied in unison.

On the third company position, just as the soldiers were immersed in the joy of their just victory, a sharp whistling sound of artillery shells piercing the air reached everyone's ears. Immediately afterwards, there was a violent explosion right at the position.

The sound sounded, bringing everyone who was immersed in joy back to reality.

"Comrades, hurry up, put on your weapons and enter the artillery hole immediately... Act now, the little devils have started shelling..." In the very timely order of the company commander, just as a new round of Japanese artillery fire hit the position overwhelmingly

At that time, in the entire trench, except for a few individual soldier bunkers and a few observation posts, there was no longer a single soldier to be seen.

In this way, an artillery group composed of more than a dozen mountain field guns, under the orders of Lieutenant General Fukuda, began to shell the position in front of them for half an hour to vent the anger and anger in their hearts at this moment.

dissatisfied.

Tens of minutes later, just as the soldiers endured the dense explosion of artillery shells above their heads, the air reinforcements requested by Lieutenant General Fukuda, three bombers, came to the sky above the position as expected, appearing above the third company position.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Several different explosions sounded on the battlefield, and three Little Japanese planes dropped the first round of bombs on the trenches close to the ground.

Although the gun-proof holes dug by the soldiers were enough to withstand the bombing of enemy bombs, by chance, two aerial bombs happened to fall at the entrance of the gun-proof holes. The fragile hole was instantly destroyed by the violent explosion.

A collapse occurred, burying dozens of soldiers in the bomb-proof cave alive underneath...

On the position, under the expectation of all the soldiers, the half-hour-long shelling by the Japanese army finally stopped. At the same time, the three bombers also began to circle in the air because they had exhausted their bombs. They were ready to wait.

During the attack, aviation machine guns were used to provide fire support to the ground infantry as much as possible.

After rushing out of the shell-proof hole, looking at the trench that was still intact after the shelling, the company commander couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, facing the soldiers who rushed out of the gun-proof hole, he gave a loud order:

"What are you still doing? Hurry up, the first platoon will treat the wounded, and the second and third platoons will repair the trenches. Hurry up, the little Japs are about to come up..."

A few minutes later, when a brigade of Japs appeared in the company commander's field of vision under the cover of a large number of heavy machine guns behind them, the company's casualties from the previous shelling were immediately tallied up.

"Company Commander, in the shelling just now, two anti-gun holes were collapsed, and 34 of the soldiers died due to suffocation. In addition, four people were killed in the six observation posts left. There are currently 148 soldiers in the company who can continue to fight.

.As for the light and heavy weapons of the troops, there is basically no damage." The instructor reported.

"Fortunately, more than half of the people can still continue to fight. I order the soldiers who can continue to fight to cheer me up later and avenge the sacrifice of their comrades. At the same time, tell the soldiers that in the battle

During the process, pay attention to air defense. In addition, organize three light machine guns and be ready to shoot in the air at any time to harass the Japanese planes and prevent them from firing at us at low altitudes." The company commander glared at a pair of red eyes and ordered decisively.

Seeing the Japs getting closer and closer to the position, the company commander immediately shouted to the soldiers around him.

"Everyone is here, ready for battle..."

However, just as he finished speaking, a division correspondent walked through the traffic trench, quickly lay down next to the company commander, and said breathlessly.

"Company Commander Zhang, the division headquarters ordered that after the troops have carried out appropriate resistance to this Japanese attack, they will immediately retreat along the communication trenches and retreat to the second trench to hide and wait. At that time, the troops from the rear will provide you with powerful

fire support to cover your retreat."

"What, retreat. Did you hear it correctly? We still have more than 150 people in our company. We can persist for two hours without any problems. How could we just give up our position to the little Japs and correspondents?

This is really an order given by the division commander himself." The company commander asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Company Commander Zhang and Commander Li personally issued the order. Your department is required to implement it. Otherwise, military law will be engaged."

"Okay, you go back immediately and report to the division commander that our Third Company of the 37th Regiment will resolutely execute the order. After timely resistance, we will retreat immediately..." the company commander replied decisively.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Japs had rushed to a position less than a hundred meters in front of the position. Listening to the buzz of the three planes overhead, the company commander knew that the time had come to fire. There was no hesitation.

, facing the little Jaap clearly visible in front of him, he pulled the trigger of the crooked light machine gun in his hand.

The sound of gunfire was an order. In an instant, twenty light and heavy machine guns set up on the position spit out tongues of hot fire in the shocked eyes of the attacking little Japanese and began to harvest their lives.

However, these little devils are not vegetarians. After being hit by a sudden and intensive firepower, nearly a hundred soldiers were quickly killed. The remaining soldiers immediately fell to the ground and began to fight back.

At the same time, the various light and heavy firepower on the position had just opened fire. The three Little Japanese planes circling in the sky immediately swooped towards the ground with a huge roaring sound. Then, they fired a

An aviation bullet as thick as the mouth of a bowl was fired into the winding trenches, killing as many soldiers as possible.

However, under the crazy air fire from several machine guns on the ground and the winding trenches, although the swooping and shooting momentum of the Little Japanese planes was very scary, it did not have much effect on the soldiers of the third company.

Killing effect.

But what is really harmful to the soldiers is the grenades of the little devils on the ground.

This kind of squad-level support firepower that follows the infantry in attacking. In the hands of the little devil, it is like a small cannon with eyes, almost hitting wherever it is pointed. In less than a few minutes of the battle, several light and heavy machine guns

, together with a dozen machine gunners, were lost in the explosion of these grenades.

Seeing that his sudden attack had caused nearly a hundred casualties to the Japanese army in front of him. If he continued to fight, not only would he not be able to achieve any results, but he would also cause huge casualties to his own troops. The company commander received the order to retreat.

, and immediately shouted an order to the correspondent beside him.

"Inform the heavy machine gun platoon to retreat immediately along the traffic trench. After the heavy machine gun platoon retreats, the riflemen and artillery will then retreat, and all light machine guns will be responsible for covering the rear."

Although I don't know why the company commander suddenly issued an order to retreat when the troops were fighting well. However, the correspondent still answered decisively.

"Yes, company commander..."

A few minutes later, under the alternating cover of more than a dozen light machine guns, the third company of more than 100 people finally safely withdrew from the position and entered the second trench.

In front of the trench, under the suppression of intensive firepower, the little Japs were almost unable to move. After feeling that the firepower of the machine guns above their heads had weakened, they immediately launched another charge. Four infantry squadrons, more than 500 Japs soldiers, screamed towards the already empty soldiers.

The first trench without anyone was rushed through.

When the empty, wide trench without any loot appeared in front of the little devil, the little devil was dumbfounded, because the width of the trench in front of them far exceeded their span. More importantly, the entire trench was laid out

Low in front and high in back. Even today's high jumpers can't fly over it, let alone ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army soldiers retreating quickly away from Bai Mi. They wanted to lose sight of the military exploits they were about to gain. The Japanese commanders at all levels, with expressions of unwillingness, immediately waved their command knives and pointed them at their side.

The subordinates ordered loudly.

"Baga, what are you still doing? Jump down immediately and cross the trench. The Eighth Route Army has retreated. Let's pursue it immediately. Otherwise, you will die..."

However, when the first kid jumped out of the trench unwillingly amid the roar of the officers behind him, he was surprised to find that he could not climb out of the trench due to his height.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning. The trenches are too deep. Don't even jump down..." The little devil who discovered the problem quickly reminded the soldiers behind him loudly, trying to prevent the remaining soldiers from jumping into the trenches.

However, just as he finished speaking, dozens of light and heavy machine guns deployed in the second trench began to speak amidst the orders of the commander of the second battalion.

Dozens of dense tongues of fire immediately formed an airtight net of bullets in front of the little devil.

Faced with death and survival, the little Japs who had already charged to the edge of the trench chose survival without hesitation. So, one by one, the little Japs ignored the dissuasion of their friends in the trenches. One after another, they jumped quickly like dumplings.

Down a wide trench.

In less than a few minutes, more than 400 little Japs who successfully charged to the edge of the trenches. Without exception, all jumped into the trenches and became the turtles in the urn in the hands of the soldiers.

Just as the densely packed little Japs were quickly looking for an exit in the large trench, they crawled forward and quietly reached the more than 100 soldiers who were only thirty meters away from the trench.

He threw the smoking grenades into the trench without mercy.

Amidst the dense explosions, one by one, the little Japs fell into a pool of blood amidst bursts of desperate screams. Some of the little Japs who found the exit of the traffic trench, while rejoicing, did not escape the fate of death.

.Because, at the other exit of the traffic trench, there are two heavy machine guns neatly placed.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the Japanese army, two hot tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the straight traffic trench. Heavy machine gun bullets with huge kinetic energy mercilessly penetrated the skin of all the little Japanese who stood in front of him.

The body stopped unwillingly in the body of the last soldier until the last bit of kinetic energy disappeared.

Under the fire of two heavy machine guns, the little Japanese who entered the traffic ditch did not need to take any aim at all, and instantly turned into bloody corpses.

A few minutes later, when the screams in the trenches slowly stopped, the explosions of grenades and the firing of heavy machine guns also slowly stopped. Rushing into the trenches that had just been abandoned voluntarily, there was a

The bloody scene suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

A sound of vomiting from the soldiers immediately reached the ears of the company commander.

The trenches, after hundreds of grenades exploded, had already turned into a bloody slaughterhouse. Hundreds of corpses with missing limbs and arms were piled up in layers in the trenches and traffic trenches, making it difficult for everyone to stay.

There are no places. As for the broken limbs and arms of the little devil, they can be seen everywhere.

More importantly, except for a few of the weapons carried by the Japs, the rest were all turned into piles of parts. However, the soldiers were fortunate that the explosion of the grenade did not cause the Japs to attack.

The explosion of ammunition on their bodies allowed the soldiers who had fought for several hours to replenish their previous consumption.

"Throw all the corpses of the little devils out of the trench, and when the little devils behind them fire their cannons, they will also blow up the corpses of their own colleagues. The remaining people will immediately clean up the battlefield and count the results. In addition, each squad will

Platoon, be on guard against retaliatory bombardment by the Japs and take action immediately..." Looking at the hundreds of Japs' corpses in front of him, the company commander resisted the urge to vomit and shouted loudly to the pale soldiers beside him.

commanded.

As the corpses of the little Japanese were thrown out of the trenches one after another under the watchful eyes of the Japanese division commander Lieutenant General Fukuda. Coupled with the reconnaissance report from the air plane, a few minutes later, Lieutenant General Fukuda finally understood the details of the entire battle.

For a time, the entire division headquarters was once again filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Asshole, cunning Eighth Route Army, I will cut you all into pieces to avenge Yusui's warriors. Get me the field artillery regiment right away. I want to talk to Colonel Akiyama in person, right now..." Clenched fists

, and after hitting the ammunition box next to him hard, Lieutenant General Fukuda gave a loud order to the staff around him.

"Hai, your Excellency, the division commander,...Moses, are you from the field artillery regiment..." Half a minute later, a phone that had been connected was quickly placed on the ammunition box next to Lieutenant General Fukuda.

.

Taking the microphone handed over by the communications staff, Lieutenant General Fukuda said angrily.

"Is it Colonel Akiyama?"

"Hai, your Excellency, the division commander, your humble position is Colonel Akiyama. Please give me your instructions, the division commander."

"Yoshi..." Regarding Colonel Akiyama's answer, Lieutenant General Fukuda nodded with satisfaction. Then, he ordered into the microphone in his hand with a murderous look on his face.

"Colonel Akiyama, I think you should have seen the battle just now. Hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers fell on the cunning Eighth Route Army position. In order to avenge the Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side and avenge the Yusui warriors. Now I

I order you, no matter what method you use, to level the Eighth Route Army position opposite me within half an hour. Otherwise, you will directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. Are you clear? By then, there will be three

Imperial bombers are involved in the attack. Is there any problem..."

"Hai, please rest assured, Division Commander, our Field Artillery Regiment will guarantee to complete the mission..." After saying that, a busy tone came from the microphone.

Soon, in addition to the 12 mountain cannons, 12 105mm heavy mountain cannons were set up in the artillery positions in the rear of the Japanese army. Groups of little Japanese artillerymen began to rush back and forth on the positions, preparing for the artillery bombardment a few minutes later.

, making final preparations...
