The dumbfounded Kwantung Army

The brigade commander asked a reasonable question, which immediately stopped everyone in the headquarters. For a moment, everyone who was still excited just now fell into deep thought. The entire headquarters also instantly became deathly silent.

However, at this moment, a combat officer who was observing the front line woke everyone up from their meditation with a slightly frightened voice.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, front line, something seems to have happened on the front line?"

"Nani, something happened at the forward position..." The frowning brigade leader, with the uneasiness in his heart, walked quickly to the lookout point and raised the telescope in his hand.

Sure enough, under the gray sky, a chaotic frontline position loomed in the eyes of the brigade leader.

An infantry brigade guarding the forefront, judging from their messy defensive formation, the nearly a thousand Yellow Army soldiers did not feel any excitement because the East China Field Army stopped attacking. And why did the scene in front of them happen? The brigade

The commander knew very clearly that the soldiers on the front line must have seen something they shouldn't have seen.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander did not hesitate and ordered directly to the chief of staff behind him.

"Chief of Staff, contact the forward position immediately and ask what happened?"

However, before the chief of staff could reach the telephone, an anxious lieutenant officer rushed into the headquarters out of breath. Then, he reported with a hint of panic.

"Brigade commander, something happened, the forward position..."

"What happened to the forward position? Tell me clearly?" Seeing the staff officer in front of him who was panting and unable to speak a word for a long time, perhaps because of fear, the brigade commander asked sharply.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there are trenches. The cunning East China Field Army has dug a large number of trenches in front of our position... They are densely packed, like a spider web. Our position is almost completely surrounded by the trenches of the East China Field Army... Specifically

The situation is alleged to be unclear. Your Excellency, the brigade captain, has asked your subordinates to come to invite you. I hope that your Excellency, the brigade commander, can come to the forward position in person..."

"Baga...what kind of trenches make you so scared...First Guard Team, follow me to the forward position...Chief of Staff, you also come with me. I want to see the cunning East China Field Army.

What kind of tricks can be played in front of us..." After glaring at the lieutenant staff in front of him, the brigade commander ordered with a serious face.

Before the group of people actually reached the forward position, the captain of the forward position garrison hurried over to greet them.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the East China Field Army opposite is really weird. So many trenches were dug in one night, just like a spider web. I am worried that the East China Field Army opposite is brewing some big conspiracy.

I don’t dare to make the decision without permission. So I’ve asked you to come here and ask the brigade commander to make it clear..."

"Look, just fifty meters ahead is the trench at the front of the East China Field Army..." As he spoke, the captain's finger pointed to the trench fifty meters away, which was made up of a large amount of earth and rocks.

The edges are raised.

Seeing in front of him, some areas had broken into his position, and trenches stretching for several kilometers stood in front of him like a copper wall. A look of shock quickly flashed across the face of the brigade commander.

However, this look only lasted a moment. Because he believed that in just one night, no matter how strong the trenches were built by the East China Field Army, they would not be able to hold on for long in the face of the aerial bombs of the Air Force.

.

Thinking of this, the shocked look on the brigade commander's face immediately disappeared. Then, he said very confidently: "Don't worry, it is a joke for the East China Field Army to rely on a trench to block the Kwantung Army's attack. Wait.

Once our air power arrives, these trenches will be reduced to rubble..."

However, just as he finished speaking, the confident smile that appeared on his face instantly became serious because of the captain's next words.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is more than just one trench. Look to the rear. In one night, the East China Field Army actually built a deep defense system composed of trench groups in front of us... Such a trench group, in front of us,

I have almost never encountered this in my military career, so I am worried about my humble position..."

Looking around, directly behind the trench fifty meters away, trenches with different widths one after another were like a spider web, densely packed and arranged in an orderly manner in front of their position...

As a battle-hardened general, although he had never seen the special trench group in front of him, his years of combat experience still made him feel a little uneasy about the trench group in front of him. Thinking of this, the brigade

The leader asked directly to the dumbfounded subordinates around him.

"Have you launched a counterattack against the East China Field Army's position to test the specific power of the opponent's trench group..."

"Brigade commander, because the air reinforcements have not arrived yet, we have not launched a counterattack yet..."

"Yo Xi, if that's the case, let's wait until the air reinforcements arrive and take a closer look at the power of the specific trench groups of the East China Field Army on the opposite side..."

In the blink of an eye, a deafening roar of aircraft engines slowly reached their ears from far to near. A total of twelve bombers lined up in a neat flight formation and rushed towards the battlefield in a mighty manner.

"Order the air force to launch an attack immediately, destroy the front-line positions of the East China Field Army, and cover the infantry to launch a counterattack..." the brigade commander ordered with a confident look.

However, what puzzled him was that several minutes had passed since the order was issued. The twelve planes in the sky, except for circling back and forth overhead, did not drop even a single bomb.

"Baga, what is the Air Force doing? Why haven't they dropped bombs yet..." The anxious-looking brigade commander cursed loudly.

Just as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer stood panting and gave him orders.

"Brigade commander, air force telegram..."

"explain…."

"Ha Yi, because the frontline positions of the East China Field Army are too close to our positions, and the positions of the enemy and our armies are intertwined, many positions are completely intertwined. If planes drop bombs, more than one-third of the bombs will fall.

To our own position..."

"In addition, after multiple air patrols and reconnaissance, no signs of activity of the East China Field Army were found in the trench group of the East China Field Army opposite. If bombs were dropped, it would be a waste of precious artillery shells from the Japanese Empire. The Air Force requested that our infantry go first.

Launch an attack…"

As soon as the communications officer finished speaking, the brigade commander's eyes immediately focused on the position in front of him.

"Baga, the cunning Chinese people actually dug the trenches so close... Since the Air Force reconnaissance found no signs of troop activity on the opposite position, we will launch an attack immediately to see what the East China Field Army on the opposite side will do to us.

What tricks are you hiding? Order the Third Brigade to send a squadron to attack immediately..." the brigade commander ordered in a deep voice.

"Hayi..."

Soon, intensive light and heavy machine gun fire began to sound on the battlefield. Under the cover of countless light and heavy machine guns, a squadron of imperial troops quickly jumped out of the position, with the bright bayonets in their hands, towards the East China Field Army, which was just around the corner.

The front-line position launched an assault...

Just when everyone was holding binoculars and watching the attacking troops in front of them, a sudden and harsh whistling sound reached their ears very quickly. Following closely behind, the trench group that had been motionless just now, appeared in front of them.

In less than two seconds, more than a hundred black cannonballs flew out quickly...

"Boom, boom, boom..." In an instant, before the brigade commander and others could react from the shock, dense explosions of artillery shells began to sound right in front of the position. Suddenly, an infantry squadron that was still menacing just now, suddenly

Suddenly, they were enveloped in the smoke generated by the explosion of artillery shells. Even the dozens of light and heavy machine guns that kept roaring in the forward position were thrown high into the sky amidst the explosion in less than two seconds.

….

Seeing the scene in front of them, all the commanders, including the brigade commander himself, were dumbfounded. After ten seconds of silence among more than a dozen people, the brigade commander was the first to speak.

"Baga, didn't the Air Force tell me that there was no movement on the opposite position? Then where did these shells come from? The Air Force is ordered to attack immediately and must destroy these cunning East China Field Army, quickly..."

"Hayi..."

"BooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Aerial bombs, with a whistling sound, accurately hit the intended target and exploded. Suddenly, the position that was peaceful just now was immediately enveloped by the smoke and billowing dust generated by the explosion.

However, at this moment, although the post-East China Field Army position is being continuously bombed by twelve Japanese bombers, its specific situation is not as bad as everyone imagined. After all, the position is so large and so far away from the Japanese position.

Recently, with the limited ammunition they carried, there were very few places where Japanese bombers could bomb.

What's more important is that just after a round of artillery shells was fired, the artillerymen at each artillery position, under the command of their respective commanders, quickly drilled into the artillery-proof hole closest to them along the communication trenches and trenches.

Just when the Japanese bombers started bombing, except for a few hidden lookout posts, not a single East China Field Army soldier could be seen in the huge trench group.
