That night, except for some soldiers of the Japanese army who were standing guard, the rest were resting peacefully. However, the crows on the opposite side were constantly reinforcing their fortifications.

They used everything they could find on hand to reinforce, and they used whatever they could to reinforce. They understood the importance of reinforcing their positions better than the Jinsui Army, and they did whatever it took to consolidate their positions to resist the incoming heavy artillery of the Japanese army.

"Old Li, do you think they can withstand it?!" Gao Jianbai whispered to Li Shaotang beside him, who shook his head with complicated eyes.

"To be honest, I'm very conflicted. On the one hand, I hope they can withstand the Japanese attack. These are bloody men. Everyone can see how capable they are." After a pause, Li Shaotang continued: "But these people are talking

It’s so crazy, it seems like they are the only ones in the world who can fight the Japanese to death. Our Jinsui Army is not a vegetarian, they are not giving us face at all!”

"But no matter what, as long as they support me, I, Li Shaotang, will be convinced by them! If they want me to study at some National Defense University in the future, no problem! I will go directly."

"Heh heh heh... me too!" Gao Jianbai laughed after listening to Li Shaotang's words: "If they were able to repel the Japs, I would obey their orders without saying a word!"

There are only seven teams of crows on the position, with a total of seventy people. Including a few veterans who came to support them, the total number is less than eighty. The total strength is less than one company.

And what about the Japanese army on the opposite side?! Even after experiencing several wars, the Japanese army on the opposite side still maintains at least one brigade of more than 3,000 troops.

Such a huge disparity. If they can still withstand it, it can only be said that their ability has far surpassed that of the Jinsui Army. Gao Jianbai, Li Shaotang, and even the entire 17th Army can only bow their heads no matter how unconvinced they are.

"Buzz buzz..." Early the next morning, the Japanese aircraft arrived first. They were hovering in the sky, observing the positions laid out by the crows.

After circling for several times, these Japanese aircraft began bombing and strafing. Although they did not find anyone on the position, they still attacked suspicious targets based on their own judgment.

At the same time, the coordinates of some suspicious targets were recorded and sent to the artillery unit after landing.

"Yo Xi! Suesong is indeed a strong soldier. He has already captured the position in just one day. If we keep fighting like this, I believe Suesong will be able to break into Zhengzhou City soon."

The Chief of Staff of the Tenth Army, Tabe Moritake, looked at the map and said with satisfaction: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you think of this matter?!"

"Suematsu is more than brave, but lacks strategy." Yanagawa Heisuke looked at Tabe Moritake and sighed helplessly: "Indeed, he was able to break through the position guarded by a division of the opponent in such a short period of time, kill and injure more than 100,000 Jinsui troops.

Seven thousand people are an incredible achievement."

"But the losses of Suematsu's 114th Division were not small. The ammunition base consumed was too huge." Yanagawa Heisuke paused and said to his chief of staff.

"If Mo Song could see the situation clearly, he would choose to continuously use tactical attacks to consume these Jinsui troops, forcing them to increase their troop positions, and ultimately win the battle."

"It's a pity that Suesong was too impatient. He only wanted to get the position. But he ignored that the strategy of our Tenth Army is to occupy Xuchang. And the strategic goal of our entire Central China Front Army is to occupy Zhengzhou."

"At this point, Suematsu made a huge strategic mistake. His goal was only to focus on the position, rather than to kill the opponent's effective forces as much as possible." With that said, Yanagawa Heisuke walked to the observation port with his hands behind his back.

"If he was just a brigade commander or a regiment commander, then there is nothing to blame for his behavior. But he is a division commander, and he must consider the overall strategy of the unit. But what is helpless is that he is a division commander.

, I didn’t see this kind of thinking in him. I have to say, this is a pity.”

After hearing what Yanagawa Heisuke said, Tabe Moritake couldn't help but stand up solemnly and said solemnly: "Thank you, Commander, for your teachings. My subordinates will keep it in mind. I will never make such a mistake in the future."

"Yoshi! It's best if you understand, Tabei." Yanagawa Heisuke whispered to his chief of staff with satisfaction: "The consequence of Suematsu's impatience is that his own 114th Division will lose its combat effectiveness."

"This is extremely terrifying. In order to complete the tactical purpose of one's own division, one does not consider casualties at all. This practice must be banned. The Imperial people are not afraid of death, but that does not mean that we should be stupid and risk our lives."

"What we need to do is to gain victory at the minimum cost and gain support for the overall strategic situation. Do you understand?!"

"Hai!!"

Just when Yanagawa Heisuke and Taga Moritake were talking about Suematsu Shigeharu, the 114th Division had already begun to gather to prepare for the attack on Crow's position.

"Boom, boom, boom...Boom! Boom! Boom..." The artillery unit of the Tenth Army began to carry out artillery strikes on Crow's position based on the coordinates reported by the aviation team.

The artillery fire was indeed very fierce, directly shaking the position. Even Gao Jianbai and others in the third line felt palpitations when they saw the fierce artillery fire.

The artillery fire seemed to have no end, and it was bombarding the positions indiscriminately. The soil on those positions was constantly lifted up, and then smashed down heavily.

The earth was trembling, and the smell of death brought by these steels made Gao Guizi, who came to the position to watch the battle, palpitate.

Can they withstand it?! This is the inner thought of the officers of the Seventeenth Army who are watching the Japanese bombardment. However, the Japanese army continues to bombard this position without a trace of blood.

Finally, after an hour and a half, the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped. Countless Japanese troops were seen moving towards the position in three-person groups along the skirmishing line.

These Japanese soldiers were skilled in tactics. They constantly used bunkers to cover each other. When they arrived about 300 meters in front of the position, their light and heavy machine guns began to be deployed in various positions to provide fire support to the charging team.

"Thud, tut, tut, dat, dat..." The roar of the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns resounded through the position, and the charging Japanese troops continued to attack the position through cover and bunkers.

The officers of the Seventeenth Army suddenly felt their hearts in their throats. They saw that the Japanese army was about to break into the position. Why didn't there be any reaction from this position?!

Indeed, this position has not shown any counterattack since the bombardment. Whether it was the Japanese charge, the light and heavy machine gun fire, or even the current grenade bombardment, this position has remained silent. It is like a place of death.

"They won't all die..." Gao Jianbai looked pale and whispered to Li Shaotang beside him: "With such heavy artillery fire, won't all the bombproof caves they built collapse..."

"Probably not, even if it collapsed, there would still be something that didn't collapse, right?!" Li Shaotang trembled his lips and said uncertainly: "Although I also think that the shelling just now will cause them heavy casualties, but there shouldn't be no one left.

Survive..."

"No matter what! Tell the brothers to prepare for battle!" Gao Jianbai gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If they are all finished, at least the position cannot be lost. We have to lead the people to take the position back!"

"Yes!" Li Shaotang nodded fiercely. He went down to organize the various units to prepare for a desperate charge on the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers had already stood up, shouted and charged towards the position! However, they saw the troops of the charging regiment rushing towards the position like a tide.

The Japanese light and heavy machine gun troops behind also began to charge towards the position. Seeing these Japanese soldiers rushing to the position in twos and twos, Gao Jianbai's face turned pale.

"Let the brothers assemble immediately and I will lead the charge!" Gao Jianbai roared suddenly: "Damn it! What a piece of shit National Defense Force! Are you bragging?! This little devil can even charge..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Before Gao Jian could finish his words, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position suddenly encountered a crazy explosion! The explosion was so violent that Gao Jianbai could even see the Japanese soldiers rushing towards them with his naked eyes.

The Japanese troops in the position were blown into pieces.

Those mutilated arms, broken legs, internal organs, mud and blood were sprayed everywhere, making Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang stunned when they saw it. This... what is going on?!

"Boom, boom, boom...boom! boom! boom...thud, thud, thud..." Suddenly, there was a large roar of guns and artillery on both sides of the Japanese army's entry into the position.

But they saw constant explosions coming from the position. Countless bullets pierced the air and penetrated the Japanese troops staying on the position. All attacks came from protruding points on both sides, some of which were bombed by the Japanese army.

Some of the ones that came out were originally built by the Jin-Sui Army.

The Japanese army broke through the main position, but what they faced was endless carnage. Explosions like mountain roars and tsunamis, and endless ammunition splashed on the position like rain. No one could escape these.

The first two hundred or so Japanese troops who rushed to the position were silenced in just a short while. Those Japanese troops that followed encountered continuous extended artillery fire attacks, and their limbs, broken by constant explosions, flew into the sky.

Even though countless Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground, they were turned into a pile of tattered corpses by bullets and explosions. Blood was spread all over the position as if it was free. Not a single Japanese soldier who had just rushed forward survived.

Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang were stunned as they looked at the endless blood on the battlefield. Even now, they can't tell where the soldiers of the National Defense Force are and what weapons they are using.

All they could see was the flames of bullets shooting everywhere. From time to time, a grenade or a small artillery shell would scream out from an unknown place.

It hit the crowd of Japanese soldiers in front of the position, causing bursts of blood and broken limbs!

"Retreat! Retreat..." the shouts of the Japanese commander resounded throughout the position, and the panic-stricken Japanese soldiers finally withdrew toward their own positions in relief.

It was extremely frustrating to fight an invisible enemy. None of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position came down alive. They all turned into pieces of corpses on the position.

No one in front of the position was able to come down. They were either bombarded or had their hands and feet blown off. They kept wailing on the position, and eventually turned into broken corpses under the rain of bullets.

After the Japanese troops retreated, the sound of gunfire and artillery on the position also stopped. The entire position fell into a period of dead silence again.

"Mother...mother...how on earth did these National Defense Forces fight..." Gao Jianbai's lips trembled, and he trembled for a long time before uttering this sentence.

It was obvious that the Japanese army encountered a counterattack without even seeing anyone. Those light and heavy machine gun firepower, grenade launchers, etc. did not exert any offensive power at all.

After the explosions started, they were bombarded and strafed. These people died the fastest. After that, there were the Japanese troops in front of the positions. They could be said to have been plowed by artillery shells and bullets over and over again. Gao Jianbai estimated

None of their corpses were left intact.

As for those on the battlefield... Gao Jianbai smiled bitterly, they were all veterans on the battlefield. He could clearly see that those people could not still be alive. The explosions were continuous, one after another.

Those Japanese soldiers who rushed into the position were considered to be burning incense if they could find two or three pieces of corpses and internal organs.

Massacre! This is a naked massacre! If the Japanese army relies on heavy firepower to attack the Jinsui Army's position, it is bullying the weak, then the counterattack of the National Defense Force is undoubtedly a massacre that completely leaves the Japanese army without the ability to resist!

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." The Japanese army's retaliatory bombardment followed, but what they lifted up were only the broken corpses of the Japanese soldiers themselves and the Japanese gun parts scattered everywhere on the position.

This shelling of the Japanese army lasted for two full hours. Countless shells plowed the entire position like raindrops. That didn't stop. Japanese aircraft appeared again.

They hovered over the position and kept observing, while the Japanese army took advantage of this moment to launch another attack on the position.

Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang were excited again. This time it was completely different. The Japanese army used fighter jets to support the battle. The sound of Kerala tanks could even be heard in the Japanese charge team.

Obviously, the Japanese army became angry and used all their main forces to attack this position. They spared no effort to capture this position in one go.

"Damn... the little devil is really fierce! When he attacked us, there were not eight tanks..." Gao Jianbai put down his telescope and said to Li Shaotang beside him: "Shaotang. This time I

I guess it will be difficult for this group of National Defense Forces to hold on."

"I think so..." Li Shaotang sighed, put down the telescope and said, "Damn! The little devils are bullying people! If they didn't have these things, how could they show off their power with the National Defense Forces?!"

Gao Jianbai sighed silently, so what if someone bullies you with more firepower than you?! How can you resist?! You can't beat me.

But at this moment, the roar of airplanes suddenly came from Xuchang City! Gao Jianbai and others looked up, only to see a formation of aircraft flying over the horizon from a distance.

Within a few seconds, these aircraft formations had already rushed to the sky above the position. The Japanese fighter planes rushed toward these aircraft in panic, but they saw a group of fighter planes flying from the direction of Xuchangcheng suddenly dispersed and "chirped" at the Japanese fighter planes.

"Chirp chirp..." a burst of fire!

"Boom! Boom..." The few pitiful Japanese fighter planes were directly beaten into a pile of parts in mid-air. They fell towards the position with a clatter.

"Woo~~ tutu tutu..." At this time, the fighter planes that had just fired suddenly attacked! They rushed towards the only two remaining Japanese fighter planes. These Japanese fighter planes tried to resist. However, after a burst of gunfire, they were directly killed.

It exploded in the air and fell miserably.

The Japanese troops charging below were even worse, but they saw the planes following these fighters suddenly swooping down! With bursts of strange roars, they rushed towards the Japanese troops.

"Assault!!" Heart-rending shouts came from the Japanese formation, and dozens of heavy machine guns were set up and fired into the air.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." But what they got in exchange was crazy strikes from those fighter planes. All firepower trying to carry out air defense was given priority, and it was unknown what weapons these fighter planes fired.
To be continued...
