The rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the dark clouds were gathering. The whole world seemed to be in the rain.
Zhou Weiguo stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy rain falling like a small waterfall, and frowned. Such weather and rain are really cold.
However, this battle to capture the position may not stop so easily.
…
"Kimura-kun!"
"Shirota-kun!"
Japanese troops and reinforcements have also arrived.
A few hours ago, they were attacked by Zhou Weiguo at night, and they did not catch up with Zhou Weiguo. After receiving strict orders from the headquarters, the two had to direct the soldiers to the front line, even in such heavy rain. Although the car
A lot was taken away by the independent division, but their casualties last night were not too small.
Therefore, they concentrated their forces and rushed to the front line quickly.
Looking at the heavy rain, the two of them were not in a good mood, not to mention that the soldiers of the Independent Division escaped from their hands, and they only surrounded the Independent Division for one night. From the intelligence, we knew that
The strength of the independent division is only two to three thousand!
They were so ashamed.
The strength of the two divisions actually did not surround the two or three thousand men of the independent division.
Although they were scolded by the headquarters, the two of them rushed over quickly and made up for their mistakes.
"With the weather like this, I didn't expect that we would actually be beaten by Zhou Weiguo..."
"Shirota-kun, don't say that these are gone. The top priority is to launch a counterattack." Kimura frowned and said in a deep voice, "Shirota-kun, do you have any good ideas?"
"Are the soldiers who originally guarded this position still there? And the map of the position." Shirota also calmed down at this time and frowned, "We must take back this position immediately before the independent division has a firm foothold. In such weather,
It is both disadvantageous and advantageous to us, because the conditions for the independent division and ours are the same."
"Yes." Kimura nodded, "That's true, Shiroda-kun, we must put away our contempt! The fact that two to three thousand troops of the Independent Division can break out under our siege means that the Independent Division has already begun preparations.
In this war, we are ultimately on the defensive side, and we have only lost one position now! As long as we work hard to get it back, we can still win!"
"Well, before we came, they had already attacked three times, but each time, they were repulsed. This shows that the independent division has been prepared for a long time. Therefore, we can only study the position carefully.
Only by looking at the terrain and defense can we find opportunities to break through them." Shirota exhaled, "Kimura-kun, I hope you and I can cooperate wholeheartedly this time! If there are any conflicts, we can wait until this battle is over."
"Yeah." Kimura nodded, "Go in."
"Um."
Faced with the pressure of the independent division, even the two people who usually had some disputes and conflicts had to unite.
"I've seen two officers!" A Japanese major saluted to the two men, holding a well-wrapped map in his hand.
"Yoshi, are you the supreme commander of the garrison here?"
"Hi! Your Excellency, the commander of the unit, has been... broken into pieces." The Japanese Major's tone was low.
"That's it." Kimura nodded, "Put down the map and explain its features to us."
"Hey!" The Japanese Major put down the map and then unfolded it, "The position here is a combination of trenches and fortresses, with strong firepower. If the independent division attacks from the front, there will be no way for the independent division to take over unless the independent division blows up the fortress first.
This time, the Independent Division attacked from the rear and launched a surprise attack. Coupled with heavy rain, the soldiers' guns were not accurate and their vision was not good, so the Independent Division adopted hand-to-hand combat. The fighting method was extremely brutal.
The warriors never expected that the independent division would attack from behind."
Kimura and Shirota's faces looked a little ugly. After all, the independent division escaped from them.
"Now that the independent division is holding the position in reverse direction, it is an advantage and a disadvantage for us, because when it is in reverse direction, the fortress basically has no big effect. For the imperial army, it is an advantage; but the disadvantage is
, the people of the independent division have completely established their footing."
"Are you saying that it is basically impossible for us to regain our position now?"
The major shook his head, "We only have to keep attacking. Attacking, it is not that easy to get it back. In fact, there will be a lot of sacrifice."
Kimura closed his eyes, because the major was right, and he had to admit that the independent division had already gained a firm foothold, and if it really wanted to get it back, there seemed to be no shortcut.
Only fight!
Shirota exhaled and nodded, "You are right, you go down and prepare first, and let your warriors rest first. We are preparing for a night attack."
"Night attack?" Kimura opened his mouth wide, "Are you sure?"
Shirota nodded, "It's already the afternoon, but the rain still hasn't stopped. I estimate that it will continue to rain in the evening."
"It's raining, so the visibility is not very high, and it's easy to hide." Kimura continued, "And when it gets dark, it's even harder to see."
Shirota nodded, "That's all."
Kimura also exhaled, "Indeed, this is the only way. For this attack, let my men go first."
"Kimura-kun, you?"
"I surrounded the Independent Division before, but allowed it to escape. I have to bear the main responsibility." Kimura sighed, "So..."
Shirota nodded, "In that case, I will let my warriors get ready."
"Well, let the warriors have a good rest first! This battle must be won!"
"Um!"
…
The sky became darker. The rain still did not stop. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and the sky was torn apart, turning pale, followed by a string of muffled thunder.
The depth of the water on the ground is unknown. If the drainage here was not good, there would have been a flood.
On the position, the soldiers of the Independent Division, wearing raincoats, still stood firm at their posts.
Cold, very cold.
Even though I was wearing a raincoat, I couldn't blame the cold and dampness.
Many soldiers were shivering with fear because there was no way to drain away the water in the trenches. Anyone who has worn rain boots knows that rain boots are cold enough.
"It's been raining so much, and I don't know when it will stop."
"Yes, it's a good thing we only have to watch for two hours."
In order to prevent the soldiers from guarding for several hours, Che Zhihuan also tried his best. Not only did Gan Xinda continue to send troops, but the soldiers guarding the position were basically changed every two hours, and he also had people prepare enough soldiers.
Hot water and hot meals and dishes. In this weather, if these are not prepared, many soldiers will fall, even if they are strong.
"Hey, do you think the Japanese will attack at night?"
"Night attack? We repelled three waves of attacks during the day. Where did they come from to attack at night?" Another soldier gritted his teeth and then said, "It's so fucking cold!"
