"Brigade commander, the troops have been strangled with the little devils. Now the little devil's ship-borne heavy artillery is useless. Ma Dong, political commissar of the 18th Brigade, said excitedly.

"This time, more than 20,000 people in our two brigades attacked the little devils at night, even if the little devils are the elite of his mother, this time they won't be able to eat and go around!" Jiang Huai said in a deep voice. Looking at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, although Jiang Huai was calm on the surface, he was very excited in his heart. After all, every soldier has a dream of being a general. What's more, at such a young age, as the brigade commander of the Northeast Army, Jianghuai's rank is colonel, and the regimental commander of several old brigades has the same rank. But JAC was undeterred. What he learned from the commander of the Southern Military District, Zhen Zhen, was pragmatism. As long as you are steadfast and willing to watch, there will always be a day when you will come out. It's just that Jianghuai never thought that the day of his emergence would come so early. Commanding two brigades to fight and attacking one of the enemy's divisions at night seemed to be difficult, but looking at the current situation, although small Japan had organized a resistance force, there were still many places in chaos, and the skyrocketing fire had spread to most of the camp. With its current form, even if the Northeast Army is unable to annihilate the 10th Division, it will inflict heavy losses on it, and even make it completely ineffective.

Kill!

Shouts of killing grew louder in the camp. The Northeast Army also changed from machine-gun strafing to bayonet fighting. The soldiers of the Northeast Army who charged with machine guns had a machete pinned to their backs, after all, light machine guns could not be loaded with bayonets. The real hand-to-hand combat is still the sharp blade.

Poof!

"His grandmother's, why can't this little devil finish killing!" The reconnaissance battalion commander gasped and said as he knocked down a little devil.

"Battalion commander, this can't be done, the little devils are getting denser and denser, but with a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to rush to the enemy's headquarters." Dogdan gasped as well. He had already hung up the lottery, and his own blood and the blood of the little devil made his whole person look like a bloody man. If he hadn't been good and avoided the key point, I'm afraid he would have fallen down by now.

"Damn, the little devil reacts so fast! Lao Xiao, let's meet the army! Now you can only kill a few more devils, officers, and guns! The reconnaissance battalion commander analyzed the situation and said. Looking at the relatively neat ranks of Japanese troops pouring in from the center of the camp, the reconnaissance battalion commander knew that the enemy had assembled resistance forces. If they continue to rush hard, the pressure on them will increase.

"Don't worry, battalion commander, our brothers are behind us, and the little devil can't please him." Gou Yu said loudly.

Lao Xiao in the crowd, a pair of eyes stared closely at the devil charging the crowd. A throwing knife shot out and accurately plunged into the throat of a devil Shaozuo.

"Good kill! Old Xiao, there are yours! "The credit for killing a young man is also very great. After all, Shao Zuo is also an officer.

Boom Boom!

The roar of heavy artillery suddenly came from the hard ground of the Japanese army, and the entire battlefield was even more chaotic.

The Japanese artillery positions were attacked by the Northeast Army at the first time, and artillery, as a technical branch, could not be compared with infantry in combat effectiveness. It can be said that the soldiers of the Northeast Army did not spend much money to end the enemy's artillery units and began to use the enemy's artillery to begin to suppress the enemy's firepower. After all, this attack was mainly a night attack, and heavy weapons were inconvenient to carry. The two brigades of the Northeast Army also only brought mortars and a few light mountain guns. The purpose was to cover the withdrawal of troops when the attack did not go well.

Ahh

The otherwise quiet areas of the camp were saturated by artillery. After all, it was the artillery of the Japanese. Of course, the Northeast Army will not cherish it too much, if it can't get out of the way, it is impossible to take away these artillery, and before blowing it up, of course, it is necessary to exert as much residual heat as possible. The soldiers of the Northeast Army were very frugal.

In this case, Hideyoshi Fujino, who was ordered by Lieutenant General Morinari Morioka to rescue the artillery wing station, had a bitter face. A wing of artillery fire is at full strength, how can its own crippled infantry wing withstand it.

"Wing Commander, the enemy's fire is fierce, and we can't get close!"

"Yaga! Damn the Chinese people, pass on my orders, and the troops will launch a decisive assault. Be sure to defeat the Shina troops in front of you and recapture the artillery belonging to the Empire of Japan! ”

You know, the artillery of this wing is the treasure of the 10th Division. It is also the strategic firepower of the 10th Division. If it loses the support of these heavy artillery, the 10th Division will probably not be able to complete the task of advancing westward, after all, the equipment level of the Northeast Army in China in terms of artillery is no longer inferior to that of the Great Japanese Empire, and even the performance of the new 105-mm artillery in China is not weaker than that of the Great Japanese Empire. Of course, in terms of lethality, it is still slightly inferior to the heavy artillery of the Japanese Empire with more than 150 mm. However, in terms of military industry, 100 mm is a hurdle, and it is no longer too difficult for the Northeast Army to produce 105 mm heavy artillery, and to produce 150 mm or even larger caliber artillery. Therefore, Lieutenant General Morioka Morioka attaches great importance to the artillery wing.

In this era when aircraft have little lethality, heavy artillery is a strategic weapon on the battlefield.

Boom bombardment of the Japanese grenadiers, artillery finally into battle. Unfortunately, mortars, as infantry fire weapons, have a really limited range. In the face of the bombardment of mountain artillery, field artillery, heavy artillery, the result can only be a tragedy. The entire camp was already in disarray under the ravages of the artillery of the Northeast Army.

In the center of the camp, the headquarters of the 10th Division, which was originally established to guard against enemy artillery fire, collapsed under the heavy artillery fire controlled by the Northeast Army. A tattered Japanese flag still stands on the ruins. A dead Japanese officer clung to the military flag. Although he was already dead, he kept the Japanese flag.

Behind a mountain col. Lieutenant General Morinoka Morinari, commander of the 10th Division, who was full of horror, looked at the headquarters that had turned into rubble, and was both frightened and a little happy. Fortunately, he followed the advice of the chief of staff and evacuated from the command, otherwise he would have gone to hell with the command.

"Damn the Shina people!" Lieutenant General Morioka Morioka now hated the troops who attacked at night.

"How much more can the troops be assembled?" Lieutenant General Morioka Morinari said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is only one brigade left by our side. The rest of the troops have been sent to entangle with the Chinese army. It is impossible to withdraw from the battlefield in a short time! The chief of staff said in a low voice.

"Yaga!"

Boom!

Before he could finish scolding, a heavy cannonball landed not far from him, and the waves of earth stirred up tossed them all over. The combat staff officers around Lieutenant General Morioka immediately protected Morioka Mori under him, and finally saved his life. But a shrapnel still pierced deep into his arm.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you are wounded. It's too dangerous here, so please evacuate here for a while and set up a command outside of the artillery range! The chief of staff got up in disgrace and said loudly. Fortunately, several staff officers around him also pounced on him. Otherwise, he might have been blown into several pieces by shrapnel by now!

Morioka Morunari's face turned pale several times, and finally agreed with the chief of staff and chose to set up a separate headquarters. After all, as the commander of this army, he must not die in battle. In the dark night, he couldn't judge the number of enemies, and his strategic heavy artillery fell into the hands of the enemy, watching his own shells explode on his head, Lieutenant General Morioka Morunari's heart was dripping blood! The hatred of the Northeast Army in his heart also rose to the highest.

The moon is going down. The night is getting darker and darker. The entire Japanese camp was burned to ashes, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army had already evacuated after a brief cleaning of the battlefield. For the retreating soldiers of the Northeast Army, the Japanese troops who were still resisting had already pursued them with force.

The first rays of light broke the silence of the night, and the camp of the 10th Division, which had been noisy for most of the night, was filled with gunsmoke, and the corpses of the war dead were scattered everywhere, some of the soldiers of the Northeast Army who participated in the night attack, but more of them were the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Some of the corpses were distorted and charred black. He was burned alive by the fire. There are also only half of the soldiers left, and the other half is no longer available. But more corpses were intact, except that the blood from the huge wounds had long since coagulated. The expressions on his face are also varied, and he looks creepy.

Buzz.

The carrier-based planes of the Third Detachment of the Japanese Combined Fleet came to reconnoitre, and when they looked at the camp at a low altitude with a strong smell of choking, the pilot felt sick to his stomach, and the plane almost fell from the sky. It's miserable. When did the Great Japanese Empire go through such a miserable war.

On a hill not far from the battlefield, there was a lot of mourning. Wounded Japanese soldiers are being treated here for temporary treatment and then repatriated home through the navy.

Looking at the battlefield with bloody gas mixed with the smell of burnt, Lieutenant General Morioka Morinari couldn't help but burst into tears. The Great Japanese Empire was the first time since the Russo-Japanese War that it experienced such a tragic war. The extent of the losses in this battle was more serious than he expected, and looking at the sparse soldiers behind him, Lieutenant General Morunari Morioka had the urge to draw his sword and kill himself. But he knew that this was not the time to kill himself. He wants to stabilize the morale of the army. The wounded were then transported home. Despite the heavy losses, the battlefield still has to be counted. It was his duty, and he brought these soldiers with him, and he had to bring them back as much as he could.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the statistics have been clear! We have more than 8,000 people left! Among them were two thousand seriously wounded. The chief of staff said with a heavy face.

"What? Eight thousand? How is this possible! "Although he had already thought that he would suffer heavy losses, Lieutenant General Morioka Morinari never expected such a loss.

"The artillery wing, baggage wing, and engineer wing of our division and regiment are collectively broken. The 19th Brigade and the 20th Brigade also suffered heavy losses. More than half of the troops of the various units were lost. The basic loss of grain, grass and baggage, and the loss of weapons and ammunition were as high as 90 percent. Total losses of all heavy artillery ......"

"Enough!" Lieutenant General Morioka Shounari yelled. Then the old face turned red.
