The night was dark, the smell of gunpowder smoke still lingered on the battlefield, and the time for the general attack arrived as scheduled.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery of all the divisions on the front line roared at the same time, and the deafening sound was like rolling thunder before a storm, instantly spreading across the battlefield.
The brothers gathered in the frontline trenches all looked back. On the horizon not far away, red clouds were rolling, and the overwhelming shells dragged their trajectory past their heads and smashed hard towards the Japanese defense line.
When the shells passed over their heads, the brothers could even feel the hot breath of destruction. They were excited and excited.
The Japanese have always had an artillery advantage, so the artillery units of the Chinese Army can only hide during the day, because once discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, they will definitely be destroyed.
The artillery troops of the Chinese *** Corps were already sparse, so in order to preserve their strength, they only dared to pull them out to shoot at the Japanese at night.
The shooting targets had already been scouted out during the day, so the first round of strikes were all aimed at important places for the Japanese, especially the Japanese artillery positions.
"Hit them hard!" The infantry brothers lying in the trench waved their fists excitedly as they watched the countless shells screaming past their heads.
They had suffered a lot from the bombing by the Japanese artillery, but their own artillerymen were like shy little wives, hiding and not daring to see people during the day, so they could only let the Japanese artillery wreak havoc.
Now they were extremely excited as they watched their own artillery force bombarding the Japanese positions.
The artillery brothers at the back seemed to be able to hear the voices of the infantry brothers, and they all fought hard with all their strength.
Rows of scarlet shells landed on the Japanese position, and countless huge fireballs suddenly rumbled into the sky. The ground shook in an instant, as if it had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The infantry brothers on the front line watched blankly as the Japanese position suddenly turned into a sea of flames. They were speechless with their mouths wide open. The majestic and spectacular sight shocked them.
Facing the artillery attack without warning from the Chinese Army, when the overwhelming artillery shells roared over, the Japanese soldiers, even though they were well-trained, turned pale with fear.
But it was too late to be afraid. In the explosion flames that shot into the sky, the Japanese were immediately torn into pieces and then thrown into the sky by the rolling air waves.
A series of explosions rumbled over and over again on the Japs' positions. The panicked Japs soldiers ran away crying and howling, and then were severely knocked over by the air waves, and were immediately blown to pieces.
Under such high-intensity and intensive bombing, all the key points of the Japanese were almost destroyed, and the explosion also caused the Japanese artillery positions to explode.
The gorgeous explosion flames made the entire night sky as red as day. The Japs soldiers kept wailing, and many Japs were rolling on the ground covered in fire.
The Japanese commanders at all levels were also stunned by the overwhelming artillery bombardment, because the bombardment came without warning. When did the Chinese *** have so many artillery pieces?
"Counterattack! Let the artillery units counterattack!" The Japanese commanders roared loudly in shock.
But as the rumbling explosions sounded, he saw that several of their artillery positions were also engulfed in smoke and flames, which made the Japanese commander almost go crazy.
On a vast battlefield with no visible edges, the Japanese encountered a ferocious attack from the squadron's artillery fire, causing the Japanese to suffer heavy losses.
Although the artillerymen of the Chinese *** team wanted to vent their anger and fire all the artillery shells at the Japanese positions, the number of artillery shells was too few.
The bombardment only lasted less than five minutes before the shells were exhausted and stopped. Immediately, red attack flares screamed into the sky.
"Attack!"
Almost at the moment when they saw the attack signal rising into the sky, all the forward commanders issued the order to attack without hesitation.
The Japanese positions were in flames, and artillery fire destroyed most of their fortifications. Many Japanese soldiers gathered to rescue the wounded amidst the shouts of the officers, creating chaos.
After receiving the order to attack, the Chinese troops overflowed from the trenches like a tide, poured into the darkness, and rushed towards the Japanese positions in the firelight.
The assault troops such as the Sharp Knife Assault Company and other combat units at the front moved even more quickly. Before the Japanese could react, they had already charged into the Japanese positions with guns in hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
These sharp knife assault troops did not shout loud slogans. They suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese like ferocious wolves and opened fire on the Japanese soldiers who were gathering and rescuing the wounded.
"ah!"
"It's Chinese!"
Under such close-range firepower, many Japanese soldiers did not even pull the bolts of their guns. They were exposed to the muzzle of the gun, and their blood spattered in rows, and then they fell straight to the ground.
The sharp knife assault troops of the Chinese army are formed based on veterans with strong combat effectiveness. They strike decisively and sharply.
After breaking through the defense line of the Japanese security forces on the outside, they quickly advanced in depth without any hesitation, shooting all the way, beating the Japanese until they cried for father and mother.
On the vast battlefield shrouded in darkness, gunshots rang out from everywhere. At least twenty sharp-sharp assault troops embedded themselves in the Japanese defense line, poking holes in the Japanese defense line.
"Bagya Road!"
"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Kill!"
After being bombarded like this, countless holes were broken through the defense line. The Japanese commanders roared, and even before the troops were fully assembled, they led them towards the sharp knife assault troops in an attempt to stabilize the defense line.
But behind the sharp knife troops who took the lead in the assault, the surging main attack force was fiercely rushing towards the Japanese defense line.
"Da da da......"
The officers and soldiers who rushed forward all carried Czech-style light machine guns hanging on their necks and swept all the way as the vanguard, and followed the gap opened to kill in.
"Kill! Kill the Japanese!"
And those brothers with shining bayonets poured into the enemy's position, and almost in an instant, the enemy's front line was torn apart.
The Japanese's peripheral security forces were instantly wiped out. The Chinese officers and soldiers continued to advance in depth with full of anger.
On the wide battlefield, the attacking troops of each brigade were advancing forward. They barely gave the Japanese a chance to breathe, and they were like sharp knives piercing the heart of the Japanese.
The bright broadswords glowed coldly in the night, and the cold-faced veterans slashed horizontally and vertically, cutting down each of the Japanese in a pool of blood.
The less powerful recruits, not to be outdone, swarmed up against the little Japs who had gathered to resist, and relied on their numerical advantage to quickly annihilate them.
The sound of gunfire resounded throughout the battlefield, and countless combat groups leapt forward to kill in the light of fire.
Faced with a one-sided situation, those ferocious Japs were willing to risk their lives. Only three or five of them dared to come forward and fight, trying to buy time for the follow-up troops to assemble.
But it was all in vain. A cheap grenade flew over and with a bang, several howling Japs were blown into the darkness and could never get up again.
