Inside the dimly lit tent, a large group of dirty devil officers were standing upright, each of them demoralized and depressed.

The Chinese army had built strong trenches and pillboxes at Wushimen, and although they had a large number of artillery, there were also indiscriminate bombardments from the sky.

But when their brave soldiers rushed forward, the locust-dense bullets would come at them, and they stormed for a day, losing countless soldiers, and they did not even touch the edge of the Chinese army's position.

After a day of fighting, they didn't get anything but casualties, which made them very aggrieved in their hearts.

"The general has arrived!" The guards at the gate shouted, and the officers were shaken in unison, and turned sideways to make way of a passage.

The commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, walked to the front with sonorous and powerful steps, looking at this group of officers with gray faces and bowed heads, his face full of seriousness.

"As a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army, is it possible that a little setback will make you unable to raise your head?!"

Junrokuro Matsuura's white-gloved hands were on his saber, and his voice was full of majesty.

Hearing Junrokuro Matsuura's questioning, these officers in dirty military uniforms all raised their heads in unison, their eyes full of unwillingness.

Although they have also fought bloody battles with the Chinese army in previous battles and suffered a lot of losses, today's casualties are several times that of the past, and they cannot afford not to be depressed when they encounter such setbacks.

"This is like my soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army!" Seeing the officers with their heads raised and their faces serious, Junrokuro Matsuura nodded with satisfaction.

The commander of the 145th Wing, Ichikawa Yozo, bowed his head with shame on his face and said, "General, we have disgraced the Imperial Japanese Army......

Under the cover of powerful firepower, their troops were actually beaten to the ground, and if it was spread out, I am afraid it would make people laugh off their big teeth.

Seeing Ichikawa Yozo take the initiative to admit defeat, Junrokuro Matsuura nodded: "Since you can admit your failure, I also believe that you can wash away the shame of this time with the blood of the Shina people, I hope you can be ashamed and brave!"

Junrokuro Matsuura did not blame Yozo Ichikawa for losing the attack, but gave him encouragement, which made Yozo Ichikawa Nakasa stunned for a moment, and immediately showed gratitude.

"General! Please give me another chance! I will definitely capture the position of the Chinese army and live up to the trust of His Excellency the General! Ichikawa said murderously.

Junrokuro Matsuura waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, everyone sit down, we should summarize the failure of this attack, otherwise we will fail."

"Hey!" The officers were all convinced, and sat down in unison.

They were not convinced by the defeat this time, because the Chinese army did not fight them face to face, but hid in strong fortifications.

Although their soldiers were well trained, they were repeatedly frustrated in the face of the strong fortifications, and if the Chinese army had not taken refuge in the fortifications, they would have broken through the line long ago.

"Who's going to tell me why we lost this attack?" Junrokuro Matsuura looked around at the officers and spoke.

Major General Yamachi Heng, commander of the 111th Brigade, took the lead in speaking with a calm face: "The people of China have built strong fortifications with clear layers, many of which are even semi-permanent, and our troops will encounter strong fire to block them when they rush up......"

Major General Yamachi Heng analyzed that the rest of the officers were deeply convinced, not that they were not brave, but that the previous tactics had no effect on these strong fortifications.

"Who has a solution to the fortifications?" After listening to Major General Yamaike Heng's words, Junrokuro Matsuura turned his head and asked the officers.

Huo Ran, the captain of a devil wing, stood up and said loudly: "General, the people of China are huddled in the fortifications to resist, we can force them out with incendiary bombs, as long as they are forced out, they will be bombarded with artillery fire immediately!"

"Not bad! Sit. Junrokuro Matsuura nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey!"

Another group leader stood up and suggested viciously: "General, we can use special ammunition strikes!"

If they are really used, I am afraid that the positions of the Chinese army will be taken soon, but there are also their worries, after all, the headquarters will not allow them to use them unless there are special circumstances.

Seeing that Junrokuro Matsuura was a little hesitant, Wing Commander Ichikawa Yozo stood up and said, "General, our previous attacks were during the day, we can learn from the Shina Army to launch a night attack and catch them off guard!" If it can't be attacked, it's not too late to use special ammunition. ”

The officers around them were all whispering, although attacking at night could catch the Chinese army by surprise, but the price to pay was also more, and they had reservations.

Junrokuro Matsuura didn't say anything immediately, but silently tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, thinking about the feasibility of this solution.

It is not that they are not good at night fighting, but they disdain night to fight at night, because most positions can be taken during the day.

And now the Wushimen defense line is like a hard stone, and instead of gnawing it down, they have broken their teeth, and in this case, night combat seems to be feasible.

"General, I am willing to personally lead my troops to launch a night attack on the positions of the Chinese army!" Seeing Junrokuro Matsuura hesitate, Co-Captain Yozo Ichikawa opened his mouth to ask for battle.

They were beaten in disgrace during the day, and for the arrogant co-captain Ichikawa Yozo, he really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he wanted to take advantage of the night to find a place to get back.

The division commander Junrokuro Matsuura also raised his head: "I will let the artillery unit cover you, if you can break through the defense line of the Shina Army in one fell swoop, I will personally celebrate your achievements!"

"Everyone, go back and prepare at once, and we'll attack at night! Capture the position of the Shina Army and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Junrokuro Matsuura's words were sonorous and powerful, and an atmosphere of solemnity permeated.

"Loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" The eyes of the devil officers all shone like beasts, and they howled murderously.

The boundless night shrouded the land, and the cool mountain breeze blew away the gunpowder smoke that filled the battlefield, and also made the temperature drop a lot.

The direction of the devil's position was dark and unclear, and the occasional cold shot or two in the distance reminded the brothers that they were still on a battlefield that could kill at any time.

The brothers who had been fighting with the devil for a day were in groups in the trenches, smoking, enjoying this rare time to rest.

Although there was no face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the devil during the day, the devil's attack never stopped, making them highly tense all the time, and now they are relaxed, as if they are tired and paralyzed.

"What's wrong, do you miss your daughter-in-law?" One of the brothers looked at his companion, who was silent with a gun, and stabbed him with the hand, smiling meaningfully.

"I don't have a daughter-in-law yet, my mother told me a family in a neighboring village, I didn't just set a date, I became a soldier, and I don't know if the girl got married after the war." The brother said sullenly.

"I must be waiting for you, you kill a few more devils to make a meritorious service, and when the time comes, ride a high-headed horse, marry home in a beautiful way, give birth to a large group of boys, and your good days will come."

"Hehe, that's right, by the way, who else is in your family?" The brother's face was beaming with happiness and he turned to ask.

"I'm alone, my father and mother let the devil kill me, and there is no one at home." The brother's voice was a little low.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what ...... you have in your house," the abrupt brother hurriedly tried to explain.

"It's nothing, it's all over, and now I don't have you brothers fighting devils together."
