"False and true..." the chief of staff responded quickly.
Staring at Major General Kawaguchi, he asked: "General, are you worried that the Eighth Route Army deliberately did not deploy troops on the first line of defense to paralyze us and make us think that they have no troops deployed on the second line of defense. But in fact, they have deployed troops on the second line of defense.
We have deployed heavy troops to wait for our troops to rush over and catch us by surprise!"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Major General Kawaguchi affirmed.
"Also, this possibility is not limited to the second line of defense. It is possible that the Eighth Route Army has directly deployed heavy troops on the third or fourth line of defense, waiting for us to be paralyzed and fooled!"
"The general is wise!" the chief of staff asked after flattering him a little.
"Then I will immediately issue an order to stop the attacking troops. Even if we want to attack, we must launch the attack under the cover of artillery fire just like we did just now. We cannot be paralyzed just because of a victory!"
Soon, the Japs' second attack began...
Artillery preparation, light and heavy machine gun and grenade cover, infantry assault...
"Sir, there is still no Eighth Route Army on the second line of defense of the Eighth Route Army. They are all corpses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army... Because our Three Kingdoms preparations were too violent, many corpses were blown up in the explosion, and no bones were left..."
This sentence is absolutely shameful to Major General Kawaguchi.
Hundreds of shells were thrown out, not only not injuring any of the opponent's soldiers, but also exploding the corpses of many of our own people. If this incident were to come to light, his prestige in the entire brigade would definitely be greatly reduced. After all, the Japanese believe in
Amaterasu, the intact body means that his soul can travel across the ocean and return to Japan.
The chief of staff also realized the seriousness of the problem and asked tentatively: "General, do you need to prepare artillery fire for the next attack?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the chief of staff's words was very obvious.
There is no Eighth Route Army on the second line of defense yet. As expected, the brigade commander's judgment just now was wrong. This was not a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, but because the Eighth Route Army did not dare to engage in positional warfare with them during the day and retreated on its own initiative!
"Let them attack and quickly capture the third line of defense..." The changes in his subordinates made Major General Kawaguchi compromise, and he ordered through gritted teeth.
On the second line of defense, the anxious Japanese and puppet troops finally received the order to attack.
"Soldiers, the brigade commander has agreed to our attack request... continue the attack, take down the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army in one go, and kill them all!" The Japanese squadron leader, who had already determined that the third line of defense also did not have the Eighth Route Army, gave an arrogant order.
road.
On the third line of defense, Hong Ruijun, commander of the security company, finally showed a long-lost smile on his tense face.
"Comrades, the opportunity we have been waiting for has come... retreating from the first line of defense to the second line of defense, and then from the second line of defense to the third line of defense, just a few landmines killed more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops.
, It’s so frustrating, it’s not in line with the style of our security company at all..."
The instructor's eyes also shone: "Company Commander, we finally don't have to retreat!"
"The Japs did not prepare artillery fire, and launched the attack in such a short time. Their follow-up troops must not have caught up. It is impossible to provide fire support to their attacking troops immediately. We must not let go of this excellent counterattack opportunity... What are you planning to do?
how to spell……"
Hong Ruijun ordered with a smile on his face: "I've thought about it a long time ago!"
"Our guard company is equipped with twelve light machine guns and more than twenty submachine guns. The automatic firepower is the strongest in the entire regiment. Therefore, I plan to use these firepower advantages to engage in a head-to-head contact battle with the Japs...
…”
"I agree!" the instructor affirmed.
He had seen yesterday's battle. Although the three main battalions suffered heavy losses, after the bloody battle, those who survived became veterans, and they were veterans who exuded murderous aura, making the instructor envious.
As a security force, it is difficult for a security company to encounter bloody battles and tough battles like yesterday afternoon.
Now it's not easy to meet one, and the instructor doesn't want to give up this excellent opportunity for training.
One hundred meters away, there is still no movement on the defense line...
Fifty meters, no movement yet...
Major General Kawaguchi, who was still standing on the first line of defense, immediately felt relieved at this time.
In his military common sense, fifty meters is the critical point for an army to attack. If an army crosses this distance, the success rate of entering the opponent's position is at least 80%.
If there is an Eighth Route Army on the third line of defense, they will definitely counterattack at this time. Otherwise, they will never be able to stop the Imperial Army's offensive.
Thirty meters away, there is still no movement on the defensive line.
Although the Japanese squadron leader was very arrogant, he still had some basic vigilance. After throwing two rounds of grenades on the position, he rushed forward with all his strength.
In the blink of an eye, the position was trampled under their feet, and many Japanese soldiers had even jumped into the trenches.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, intensive gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and then many Japanese soldiers were seen falling to the ground covered in blood.
"Baga! The bullets were fired from the anti-artillery fortifications. There are enemies inside the anti-artillery fortifications. Attack them and blow them up with grenades!" shouted the Japanese squadron leader who was suddenly startled.
"Comrades, fight out and kill the Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield... Ta-ta-ta-ta..." the squad and platoon leader scattered in several anti-artillery fortifications shouted loudly.
Then he held a submachine gun and a light machine gun, and rushed out while setting fire on the little Japs outside the fortification.
In just a few seconds, more than thirty people were killed by the Japanese and puppet troops who were caught off guard. Many guards and soldiers from the fortifications also rushed out, and most of them were firepower.
A light machine gunner and two submachine gunners, coupled with the bullets fired from time to time by the riflemen behind them, directly form an invincible assault team.
"Bagh Ya Road, why are there so many Eighth Route Army troops on the position? Why didn't they fight back when we attacked just now!" the Japanese squadron leader shouted in shock.
Soon, the shock on his face was replaced by despair, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Because the battle in front of him was too confusing to his understanding.
The enemy and we were strangled together. It was supposed to be a hand-to-hand battle and a bayonet battle.
And with the imperial army's ability to fight, they can definitely hold on until the follow-up troops arrive, and it is even possible to turn defeat into victory.
However, the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly emerged from the artillery defense fortifications, did not give them this chance at all.
The Eighth Route Army used light machine guns and submachine guns to clear the way. They killed the Imperial Army soldiers whenever they saw them, even the soldiers who were fighting for their bayonets. They fired cold shots whenever they had the chance.
Amidst the chaotic and intensive gunfire, the imperial army continued to fall to the ground, decreasing...
A force of nearly 300 people suffered more than 100 casualties in less than half of the battle, and the casualties were basically the imperial army!
