The wheeled armored vehicles marched forward with great vigour, threatening to smash the Yellow Dragon, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns and machine guns continued to reap the lives of the routed soldiers of the Kuno squadron who were fleeing along the road. At this time, the members of the crew had already killed their eyes, exposing all the tyranny and cruelty hidden in their hearts, and they excitedly watched the miserable death of one enemy after another under their own attacks, their faces flushed with emotion, and their expressions were distorted and hideous.

The rout of the Kuno squadron found that they could not escape, and tried to gather and rely on the roadbed next to the road to resist stubbornly, but they were immediately routed again by the heavy fire of the armored vehicles, most of them were killed, and the remaining few survivors left the road in panic and fled to the side of the artemisia overgrown hillside, including the commander of the 12th squadron, Captain Toshio Kuno.

In the end, the squadron leader was also unable to meet Morimoto Tataji and give his own warning, so that Morimoto's brigade was attacked by the German SS with little knowledge of the enemy. Some die-hard Japanese right-wing scholars advocated that if Kuno had met Morimoto at that time, the outcome would have been different, but German scholars dismissed this assumption, and with the combat situation at the time, that is, the difference between one shot and two shots at the time of shooting, the outcome was already predestined at the moment when Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig ordered an all-out assault.

In the end, only three privates of the 12th Squadron managed to join the rear guard of the 9th Squadron, and they were the first to escape from the Kuno position.

A military cao scolded and slapped them more than a dozen times in a row, but these few only trembled desperately, and they couldn't even say a coherent sentence, and they knew at a glance that these people had a nervous breakdown and were useless. While the soldier was still wondering what had scared them into this ghostly appearance. A convoy of wheeled armored vehicles appeared on the road, and a dense stream of machine guns and artillery shells was fired like locusts at the Japanese soldiers who were resting on the side of the road.

The Tajima squad of the ninth squadron was removed to the rear team for rest and recuperation because of more than half of the casualties, and the original full squad of 60 people, at this time, even the squad leader counted together, there were only 27 people left, and as the backbone of the squad, Jun Cao and Wu Commander suffered heavy losses, and the Tajima squad has been fundamentally injured, and it is impossible to recover the strength of the past without a year and a half.

The Tajima squad had already known that the Kuno squadron had encountered the enemy there, and the team had specially transferred a Type 92 heavy machine gun to support it, but no one in the squad was worried about this. Kato's squadron is full of veterans who have been in the army for two or three years, and each of them has participated in at least two major battles, and in their opinion, a mere armored vehicle cannot shake the position of the 12th squadron, although the proportion of recruits and recruits in the Kuno squadron is relatively high, but it is also a regular Imperial Army soldier who has undergone eleven months of training. In the eyes of the Tajima team, the victory of the Kuno squadron was a sure thing, and the offensive defeat of the ninth squadron at this time attracted their attention more than those rookies with good luck.

The assault led by Kato himself ended in failure. This really caused Morimoto's team to break a lot of glasses. A mere machine gun fort actually withstood the continuous assault of hundreds of imperial troops for half an hour, which not only caused serious casualties to Kato's brigade, but also shattered the last trace of illusion of Morimoto Otaji.

Sergeant Nguyen Phuc Huu's men are just a dozen ordinary soldiers, not the Avengers who are not bad in the movie. Both the weapons and the personnel have reached their respective limits, and being able to hold this pillbox is entirely due to the artillery support of the A3 stronghold.

As an important defense node, the A3 stronghold has a lot of spare ordnance in stock. Among them is a Schneider M1897 field gun equipped before World War I, which is also known as Miss Qiwu, although the model is a little old. But the performance is still reliable.

At this time, there were two professionally trained artillery squads among the soldiers in the stronghold, and they were operating two 81 mm mortars to fight with the Japanese infantry artillery squad, the physical strength of the Japanese artillery was close to exhaustion, and the speed and accuracy of the shelling were seriously affected, and the balance of victory gradually began to tilt towards the French side, and the French mortars fired more and more fiercely and accurately, forcing the Japanese infantry artillery squads to constantly move the firing position, and only occasionally fired one or two shells to return fire. The artillery squad that the Morimoto Brigade was proud of was slowly suppressed, and even the remnants of the Okubo squadron could only hide in the grass on the hillside and shoot at the stronghold, unable to launch further operations.

Captain Dominiel ordered the artillery squad to send out a few experienced gunners to operate the cannon, these artillerymen had operated the same type of artillery during their training in the training camp, and to be honest, there were very few French artillerymen at that time who had not touched Miss Seventy-Five. Dominiel knew that Machine Gun Fort No. 1 was in danger, but under the siege of the Japanese army, the French soldiers stationed there were no longer able to retreat, and there was only one way to find a way to provide them with artillery cover, maybe they could delay a little time.

Previously, the headquarters of Tongdeng had informed Domin by phone that reinforcements had departed, and only needed the A3 stronghold to continue to hold out for a maximum of a quarter of an hour. The captain's answer was that he would fight to the last man and would never tarnish the honor of the French Army. At this time, Domin also saw that the Japanese would not be able to take their stronghold in a short time, and this was the perfect opportunity to show their heroism, and perhaps they would gain the attention of their superiors and impress their colleagues in the army.

Taking advantage of the fact that Okubo's squadron was so beaten that it hid on the hillside and could not raise its head, a group of brave French soldiers pushed the field gun and secretly left the stronghold through the side door, and this small fire group quietly advanced fifty meters along the side of the road until it could visually see the No. 1 machine gun fort and the open space in front of it. At this time, the Japanese army was still suppressing the No. 1 pillbox, and the pillbox standing in the rain of tracer bullets was still stubbornly firing back at the enemy, and the eyes of several French soldiers who were moved by the scene at that time were red, and they felt admiration for those brave comrades.

While the French gunners and infantrymen were hurriedly arranging their gun emplacements on the side of a dirt slope beside the road, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed out of their positions with loud trumpets sounding, shouting haphazard slogans and holding Type 38 rifles with bayonets in their hands. Charge towards Machine Gun Fort One. Although the machine gun fort resisted with all its might, most of the machine guns had already been overheated at this time, and only one or two of them could still fire continuously, and this kind of firepower was no longer able to withstand a cluster assault of this scale.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers came under heavy fire from the M1897 rapid-fire field gun, and although these gunners could not fire a record of eighteen rounds per minute, the interval between the two shells in the first two shells was almost unbelievable, and it was these two shrapnel shells. All at once disrupted the stormtroop formation of the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers were stunned by the sudden artillery bombardment, and what made matters worse was that Captain Kato, who was leading the charge, was in the range of the first shell, and was immediately knocked to the ground by the projectiles scattered by the grenade shotgun, and the charging troops suddenly lost their unified command.

At this time, the follow-up infantry was still rushing forward with inertia, but the forward was already in a mess under the blow of the shells, some wanted to find concealment on the spot, some wanted to continue the charge, and some felt that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat. Several detachments were crowded together in a disorderly manner, and became an excellent target for French artillerymen and machine gunners. When the third and fourth shells fell one after another in the crowd, the Japanese battlefield order ceased to exist, and at first it was the Kosaka detachment that could not withstand the pressure of losses and began to retreat. Then came the Takakura detachment, and eventually all the Japanese troops began to turn and retreat, and the largest infantry assault ever launched by Morimoto's brigade ended in failure once again.

Looking at the body of Captain Kato, who was carried down from the battlefield by soldiers desperately for his life, Morimoto felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart for the first time. It's not about death, Sen himself has been through a hundred battles, and this is not the first time he has seen his men die on the battlefield. Morimoto was afraid. Captain Kato's death indicates that his adventure has completely failed, and now the situation is completely out of control, he does not know what to do next, and with these losses alone, he will not be able to account for his seppuku suicide to the military headquarters and the people.

Morimoto Otaku No. 2 Nakasa knew that he was in danger this time, but he was the commander of this brigade before he was finally judged, and it was he who brought these loyal men to this place, and it was also because of his orders that these people died on the battlefield, and now he had to make a decision immediately.

The chance of Morimoto's brigade winning no longer exists, and it is meaningless to ask the soldiers to continue fighting, and once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, this brigade, which has lost more than half of its strength, will be unable to resist, and may even be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy in this place, which will be a rare fiasco since the establishment of the Imperial Army, even if he is seppuku, he can't make up for this crime, and it is more likely that it will cause trouble to his family, Morimoto's youngest brother just graduated from the Army University last year and is interning in the Second Guards Infantry Wing, and has a great future, He must not be influenced by his own sake.

Morimoto had prepared before he acted, and in the event of failure, he would personally take all the responsibility, but at this moment he found that his preparation was far from enough. The losses suffered by the brigade were too heavy, all because he went alone rashly, and at least 300 officers and men of the army had fallen in foreign lands, and countless more were injured or even disabled, because they were sent in violation of orders, and it was impossible for the behavior of these people to be affirmed by the military department, and even if they died in battle, they could not get the honor they deserved, and they were even willing to bear the criticism and infamy, which was a crime that he could not repay in any case.

When it was time to put an end to this, Morimoto Otaji knelt beside Kato's body, reached out and closed the captain's wide-wide eyes, and dragged a military blanket over Kato's mangled body.

"Herald!" Morimoto called out loudly, and he was ready to immediately give the order to retreat from the Hasegawa and Okubo squadrons in front. All he could do now was pray that it would not be too late and that Hasegawa would not encounter reinforcements from the French.

Just as Morimoto was brewing words in his heart, the herald of the 12th Brigade sent a report from Kuno asking for help, and an armored combat vehicle of the Shina Army appeared in the rear, and the Kuno squadron was running out of firepower, hoping that the brigade would support a heavy machine gun. Contrary to Kuno's expectations, this news did not make Morimoto feel excited, but made him even more determined to retreat immediately, the appearance of the enemy on the back road is not a good sign, if the other side has follow-up troops, the brigade may fall into a two-sided attack, at that time what awaits Morimoto's brigade is a catastrophe.

Morimoto had previously prepared to let the 12th Brigade serve as a reserve to cover the retreat of the brigade, so in order to stabilize Kuno's mood, Morimoto immediately sent a heavy machine gun to support, and at the same time, the brigade headquarters also began to prepare before retreating. Just as Morimoto was anxiously waiting for Hasegawa and Okubo's squadron to reply, a fierce burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the rear guard position of the 9th Brigade.
