Sun Fugui's prediction was correct. As the sky grew darker, the Japanese army began to carry back the bodies of their own soldiers.
Every Japanese soldier who was moving was frightened in his heart. What kind of battle could lead to such a fight? You know, this is just a trench dozens of meters wide!
After all, what kind of battle happened!
On the independent division side, the soldiers had the same idea.
When they arrived in the morning, they saw almost no one standing on the battlefield.
Rain, blood, mud...
Even the two brigade commanders were soaked to the skin, with mud, water, and blood mixed with water.
They had already been shocked.
Slowly picking up the bodies of their comrades, they felt that some grudges were truly heartbreaking. The hatred of the country and the family must be avenged.
Why can the Japanese occupy Chinese land and enslave the Chinese people so openly?
And they, as Chinese, have to work so hard to regain their lost territory and pay with their lives for it?
Should the war be more violent in order to drive away all the Japanese?
Sun Fugui looked at the rows of corpses in the car, sighed inwardly, and then shouted with all his strength, "Send off!"
The soldiers lined up on both sides pointed their guns in the air and started firing.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Brothers, have a good journey!" Tangshan shouted loudly. On the battlefield, they could only simply see off these warriors.
"farewell!"
"farewell!"
"Don't worry, we will defend this place! We will counterattack the Japanese!"
"Go in peace!"
Some people still started to cry.
Most of the soldiers of the independent division, especially the soldiers of the reserve brigade, were recruited locally in Shandong. Many of them became friends after going back and forth.
People who were fine a few days ago are gone now.
They know very well that this is not the sin of the war, but the sin of the Japanese.
If it had not been for the Japanese, there would not have been this war. Without this war, their relatives would not have died, their friends would not have been injured, and their families would not have been destroyed!
The cars started to move one by one.
Go away.
The rain is thin.
Hit someone in the face.
Slowly, it turns into raindrops.
The rain became heavier again, and Sun Fugui's expression changed again and again.
I originally thought that if the rain lightened up or stopped soon, then the battle would begin immediately.
Unexpectedly, it rained heavily again.
"Let's go and take shelter from the rain." Tangshan walked over, "Don't catch the cold."
Sun Fugui nodded. The rain came suddenly and tested their logistical capabilities. Fortunately, all departments in Beiping City were operating quickly and they managed to survive.
However, I don’t know how long this rain will continue and how the real counterattack can begin.
…
"From the terrain point of view, there is no room for trickery." A Japanese major general pointed at the hung map with a small wooden stick, "Yesterday, General Kimura and General Shirota also fought with death in mind. It can be seen that the independent division
Strong combat effectiveness. You must know that hand-to-hand combat has always been the strength of our Imperial Army of Japan."
"That's true. However, I heard before that the Independent Division has a special kind of spur that can jam the bayonet of the warriors, making it very difficult to hit." Next to him, another Japanese major general said. "Of course, we can't deny that the enemy has weapons.
advantages.”
"Well, it's still raining now. In my estimation, as soon as the rain stops, maybe they will launch a general attack."
"So, we have to get our position back before the enemy launches a general attack! Otherwise, we can only passively defend!"
"But, how to get it back?"
"Bombardment!"
"Shelling?"
"Well, the artillery regiments of the two divisions of General Kimura and General Shiroda are still there. If we want to attack, we must do it when the enemy relaxes his vigilance."
"Kuromori-kun, what do you mean? It's still a night attack?"
"Yes, will the enemy think that we will launch another night attack? To be honest, if General Kimura and his men had more troops yesterday, we would have regained our position!"
"It is indeed a pity, but is the night attack useful? Do we have to be like General Kimura and others, regardless of sacrifice?"
The leading Japanese major general shook his head, "No, we should immediately observe the location of the enemy's camp and where the population is concentrated, and determine the coordinates. At the same time, we may be able to do something on the hills on both sides of the trench, since we are attacking from the front.
There is no way, so is it possible to do it from the side?"
"But even if we attack from the side, we can only do it at night, right?"
"Well, so, I suggest that after nightfall, the warriors first ambush on the mountains on the left and right sides. Wait for the artillery regiment to attack first. After the shelling is over, the warriors can then fight out from both sides."
"This method may be useful, but it can only be tried once, right?"
"Hey! In addition, we still have to attack from the front to attract the attention of the independent division!"
"In this way, there may be a 70% chance of success!"
“It’s already a pretty good success rate!”
"Yoshi, let's do it like this!"
"Um!"
…
The night was quiet, the sound of rain was clear, the wind howled, and the curtain of rain lifted and fell in the dark night.
The temperature is getting lower and lower.
Sun Fugui was walking back and forth in the fortress, a little impatient, always feeling that something would happen tonight.
"What are you doing? Walking around?" Tang Shan looked at Sun Fugui.
"I feel like the Japs will take action." Sun Fugui frowned and said, "When I was still in Qingfeng Village, my premonitions were always accurate."
Tangshan's expression became serious as he thought about this possibility, "The Japs want to take back the position. Now, the Japs reinforcements have arrived near here. It is indeed possible to take action."
"It's just that the rain is so heavy this night, how can the Japanese attack?"
"Well. It can't be the same as yesterday."
While the two were still discussing, they suddenly heard an explosion.
"Fuck! The little devil actually used artillery fire!"
"Someone is coming!"
"yes!"
"Let brothers hide!"
"yes!"
"Tangshan, I can guarantee that the Japs will make another move after the shelling! Maybe it's an infantry attack, maybe it's something else! After a while, if my brigade can no longer withstand it, remember to support me in time!"
"Don't worry!" Tangshan frowned and agreed. Hearing the explosion again, he gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, the Japs attacked him again at night! He's really addicted to night attacks! But indeed, the Japs' night attack was also unexpected.
What they didn't expect! What worried him most was that this was originally the Japanese defense area. Relatively speaking, the Japanese were very familiar with this area! Moreover, the artillery could locate it! "Damn!"
Seeing that Sun Fugui had already rushed out, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly walked out of the fortress and looked at the bright light from the bomb explosion at night.
Fortunately, the camp was further away and was not covered by Japanese artillery fire!
Fortunately, I was on guard!
The shelling has awakened all the soldiers of the independent division!
Most people have silently held their guns and prepared for the next battle!
