Chapter 87 The Longest Night (Three)

At midnight, the battle at the Tiger Gou position had entered a fierce heat. The Japanese offensive troops suffered heavy casualties for a long time, so they launched three consecutive attacks of meat bullets of over 100 people. The Chinese defenders on the first line of defense had not yet experienced such a battle, and they were immediately deprived of heavy casualties. The entire line suddenly became precarious. Ge Weimin, the chief of staff of the new first regiment command, had to draw two companies of troops from the third line position, and concentrated a large number of submachine guns to drive the Japanese off the position. The blood on the surface of the Tiger Gou position had turned into snow mud, and the black mud was everywhere due to artillery fire.

When did the wind and snow stop? But the Japanese attack became even more fierce, with shaking figures everywhere, and some Japanese troops rushed to the third line of defense before they were found dead. In the trenches and traffic trenches on the front line, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies were fighting to the death in different languages. There were people fighting each other, picking their eyes, tying their necks, biting their ears, smashing stones, hitting their butts, and stabbing them! The screams of slaughtering up and down each other, accompanied by the intensive shooting sounds and the explosion of grenades.

At this moment, Ge Weimin's shoulders were already hung. There were only two soldiers left in the platoon that counterattacked him. Ge Weimin's Browning pistol had long been thrown away. He replaced a Mauser pistol picked up from a dead platoon leader. After killing several Japanese troops in succession, he looked at the Japanese army Ge Weimin who was constantly breaking in and shouted loudly, giving up the front line position and moving to the second line position, and going from both sides! Don't rush to the second line defense.

However, many Chinese soldiers were entangled with the Japanese army on the defense line, and soon their figures were overwhelmed by the Japanese attacks.

Requesting for artillery fire support! Ge Weimin directly dialed the phone to the artillery group headquarters. After two coordinates and position adjustments, the artillery group commander handed the phone to the regiment commander Zhang Tianpeng!

Boom! Boom! Zhang Tianpeng's artillery regiment has suppressed the artillery fire on the last secret position of the pre-security security, but Ge Weimin at the forefront is still yelling and fighting too far. Zhang Tianpeng held the phone with a serious expression in one hand and marked the secret position with the other hand and said in surprise: "Is it going to hit your defense line when it is reduced?"

Ge Weimin looked at the Japanese army breaking into positions from all directions, and fired out of the fortifications from time to time, while shouting: "Fire guns at me, the first line of defense is lost, we are surrounded by the Japanese! Fire guns!"

Zhang Tianpeng was stunned. He had once fired a gun at his brothers. He heard that the second gun group was ordered to launch a gunfire at the front of the Tiger Gully. It is said that dozens of suicide squadrons who attacked in front of the formation were entangled inseparable from each other.

If you fire a gun, you may become a sinner. If you don’t fire a gun, you will miss the best opportunity to kill the Japanese army’s live power, and it will cause the counterattack troops to be unable to quickly restore their positions and completely lose their front line. Zhang Tianpeng took a deep breath. He made this decision once, and that decision made him go from regiment commander to battalion commander. Now he once again stood at the crossroads of choice and asked the division headquarters. Zhang Tianpeng is not crazy yet. Which commander likes to push the blame to his subordinates?

"Reduce a secret position! The first, second, and third gun group fire! Blow ten shots quickly!" Zhang Tianpeng roared hideously!

Just as the Japanese army swarmed into the positions and prepared to clear the Chinese defenders who were still resisting tenaciously, the dense artillery fire that roared into the Japanese attacking troops.

When Matsuki Naoliang heard the frontline report of casualties, he didn't even know when the receiver would slip. After nearly four hours of fighting, he just captured the first line of defense of the Chinese defenders and was intensively bombarded by some enemy and us. The 27th Brigade was responsible for the 54th and 55th Infantry Regiment, which was responsible for the attack, had more than half of the casualties. The 57th Regiment drawn by the 28th Brigade began to take over as the main attack. The 54th and 55th Infantry Regiment retreated to reorganize the battlefield and then fought again!

Fierce artillery fire, dense firepower, resolute resistance will, and almost crazy killing! According to the information fed back by the 27th Infantry Brigade, the distance between the three defense lines of the Chinese defenders was about 100 meters, and the difference between the second and third defense lines and the first defense lines was exactly 17 degrees. This angle allowed the Japanese offensive troops to directly face the fire blockade and attack of the three defense lines.

Stepping on the snow-covered firepower and a complete Chinese defender position with fierce fortifications, the result of this attack was like a massacre, but it was impossible to defeat the enemy with several fierce hand-to-hand combats. This made Naoki Matsuki very difficult to accept? The most proud and invincible white soldiers of the Great Japanese Imperial Army actually failed to attack?

Naoliang Matsuki cannot understand the failure and why it failed? Fengxue, military strength, and morale all have absolute advantages, and even the firepower is almost the same. With the invincible spirit of the Japanese Empire, why did it fail? The eight big words "Full War" made Matsuki breathless.

However, as the commander of the 28th Infantry Brigade, the commander of the front enemy, Masahiro Hiraga had a personal experience. In the previous attack, Masahiro Hiraga could only hear the rumbling sound of cannons and the flash of explosions. After midnight, Masahiro Hiraga used the flash of artillery bombings and explosions to vaguely see the rows of soldiers who were shot and shot by machine guns like cutting wheat.

Moving forward on the snow is a hard thing, especially wearing a bulky coat and carrying weapons. The clumsy soldiers have become the target of Chinese soldiers. After the fierce fire exchange between the two sides of the attack, the artillery fire support of the field artillery corps has almost never stopped. How long can the artillery shells carried by the field artillery corps of the division last? Heiga Masato never considered it, but now it is obviously not possible. Heiga Masato faces the attack organized by the Chinese army with an absolute advantage in light weapons firepower. If there is no suppression and destruction effect of artillery fire, the attack will probably become impossible.

Masahira Hiraga had almost reached a state of numbness and despair when attacking the Chinese defenders in front of him. He put such a dense force into a narrow and straight slope to conduct a full-line assault. Naoki Matsuki must have gone completely crazy! Due to the death of the brigade commander, the 27th Infantry Brigade was particularly brave. He braved the hot firepower net of the Chinese defenders and repeatedly attacked again and again, and it was indeed a bit exaggerated to report more than half of the casualties.

However, at least nearly 3,000 people were killed in the two infantry regiments, and thousands of wounded people could not be transported through the artillery blockade. The Chinese defenders' shells seemed to be endless? Time was quietly lost every minute and a second. Heiga Masato knew very well that in the extreme cold, if these wounded people could not be kept warm and treated immediately, their names would be directly included in the list of dead soldiers tomorrow morning.
