"Comrades, call me" saw the little devils lined up in three skirmishers, about a squadron. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, they had already rushed to a place 150 meters in front of their position, and the commander of the first battalion did not hesitate to order the fighters around him to open fire. Suddenly, in the trenches, which had just been silent, countless firepower points suddenly appeared. The airtight bullets hit the team of untouchable little devils, setting off a rain of blood. Although the little devils at this time were lined up in a loose formation of skirmishers, the dense rain of bullets still caused at least half a squad of losses to one of the squadrons charged by the Japanese army.

"Baga. Machine guns, machine gun cover, immediately open fire, continue to charge" The squadron leader who led the team saw the more than two dozen imperial soldiers lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and he did not mean to stop, and ordered loudly to the charging soldiers. Immediately, the remaining 100 or so soldiers, except for a few machine gunners who lay on the ground and began to suppress the fire, and the grenadiers who began to fire grenades at the position continuously, the remaining soldiers lowered their bodies one after another, charging and shooting at the same time.

And the first battalion and two companies that held the position, in the face of the little devil's desperate charge, had accurate marksmanship, and the casualties of the troops suddenly increased sharply. The machine gun positions and the machine gunners on the positions were knocked out by the grenadiers of the little devils. One by one, the outcropping soldiers were hit by the accurate bullets of the riflemen and fell in pools of blood.

In less than a few minutes, the two infantry companies on the position had lost nearly two platoons of troops, nearly a third, and basically all of them were killed. And the little devils, except for the more than 20 soldiers who had just been knocked down by their own surprise firepower, only fell less than 30 little devils in the few minutes of shooting. What made the fighters feel even more pressure was that the remaining more than a hundred little devils, under the command of the squadron leader, had advanced to a distance of less than 100 meters in front of the position.

"Correspondent, hurry up and inform the third company to come to reinforcements immediately, and quickly order the commander of the artillery company, Li, and ask him to fire artillery to reinforce us no matter what, quickly" Seeing that the casualties of the troops were getting bigger and bigger, and the position had reached a precarious point, the commander of the first battalion had to use his reserves in the first attack of the little devils.

"Yes, battalion commander" the communicator turned and left the position under heavy artillery fire.

However, the commander of the first battalion, who was caught in a bitter battle, did not wait for reinforcements from the third company of the reserve, but waited for the little devils to attack more fiercely. The captain of the Second Brigade of the Yue Army saw that although the attacking squadron had lost almost half of its strength, it had attacked less than 100 meters in front of the Eighth Route Army's position, and had caused huge casualties to the Eighth Route Army standing on the ground.

Seeing that the position of the Eighth Route Army was under the attack of less than 100 imperial troops left, it was precarious and could be vulnerable at any time. The captain immediately knew that his opportunity had come, so he decisively ordered his last remaining squadron of more than 200 people to attack and storm the position of the Eighth Route Army, striving to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

The addition of more than 200 reinforcements has increased the firepower of the army several times at once. Suddenly, the strength of the only company left on the position felt the tremendous pressure that had never been felt before. Under the blow of the dense rain of bullets of the Yue army, the soldiers on the position had almost no room to fight back, and one by one the soldiers who showed their heads were hit by the accurate marksmanship of the Yue army and fell in a pool of blood.

The captain of the Second Brigade of the Yue Army, who was pressing behind the charging troops, saw an opportunity. He immediately drew his command knife and shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him, ordering the soldiers to launch a new round of charge.

After receiving the order from the brigade commander, more than 300 troops in front of the position raised their rifles with bayonets in their hands, got up from the ground, and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army on the position.

The commander of the first battalion saw the little devils who were getting closer and closer, and looked at the fighters who were less than 100 people left on the position. The commander of the first battalion also began to get anxious, constantly looking to the rear of the position, hoping that his reserves would come quickly. However, he saw nothing, only the little devils who were getting closer and closer, and the dense bullets above his head.

"Comrades, get on the bayonet. Preparing to fight with the little devil with a bayonet, even if he dies, he can't let the little devil occupy the position" Seeing that the soldiers who were overwhelmed by the dense bullet rain of the little devils and couldn't raise their heads to fight back, the commander of the first battalion had to give an order to prepare to fight the stab.

Soon, the soldiers who received the order began to load their rifles with bayonets, and some fighters began to take out all their grenades, pulling out the fuses in the bullets one by one. Not a single warrior was terrified by the countless little devils in front of him, and there was only one expression on everyone's face, and that was calmness

"Boom, boom, boom" Just less than fifty meters before the little devil rushed to the position, and the soldiers were about to make the final attack, a violent explosion sounded in the little devil's attack formation. Countless little devils were ruthlessly torn to pieces in the bursts of explosions. And the three hundred little devils who were charging vigorously were also blown up by the sudden artillery fire. They all lay on the ground and stopped attacking.

"Haha, our artillery company opened fire, comrades, don't save bullets for me, hit the bombardier fiercely, throw grenades at me, quick" Seeing the little devil being blown up by the sudden and dense artillery fire, the commander of the first battalion shouted excitedly. At the same time, he also seized the opportunity and ordered the fighters to open fire and take the opportunity to suppress the fire of the little devils.

"Da Da Da" Suddenly, the dense gunfire was remembered on the position. The soldiers, who had been held back for a long time, got the order, and they poked their heads out one after another and took out all their weapons. With his fastest shooting speed, he shot the bullets in the weapon at the devil.

"Battalion commander, this cannon sound doesn't seem to come from the artillery position behind us, it seems to be behind the little devil" Seeing the dense shells on the Japanese army's position, the surviving company commander next to him reminded the battalion commander beside him.

"Yes, there are mountain artillery and field artillery behind us, and it is dozens of mortars that are shelling the little devils, could it be that the troops have launched a general attack," the battalion commander said with excitement on his face. Soon, however, the loud sound of the charge confirmed his guess.

It turned out that after learning that the 3rd Division and the 1st Regiment had occupied the artillery positions of the little devils, the artillery brigade of the little devils was completely annihilated. What is even more important is to divide the remaining troops of less than 2,000 people in the little devil Sakata Wing into two. Liu Hua, who was far away at the headquarters, keenly felt that this was a very good opportunity, and the time had come for the troops to launch a general offensive.

After a brief discussion with Chief of Staff Li Qing. The two decided to launch a general attack on the remnants of the little devil Sakata Wing in advance, and in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, they eliminated the Sakata Wing in one fell swoop

"Communications staff officer, immediately connect the phones of all the troops that can be reached, quickly" Liu Hua, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered the communications staff officer behind him. After a while, more than a dozen connected calls were neatly placed in front of Liu Hua.

"I now order that the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 3rd Division and their subordinate artillery units launch a final general attack on the remnants of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the Chinese Army, and the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Comrade Li Yong, commander of the 1st Regiment. The specific time of the attack was decided by Comrade Li Yong at his own discretion. The 1st and 3rd Regiments of the Rapid Reaction Brigade, the Artillery Regiment, and the Cavalry Regiment launched a general attack on the headquarters of the Chinese Army Wing, which was personally commanded by me, and the time of the general attack was 10 minutes later. Please all regiments must carry forward the heroic and fearless spirit of sacrifice of the Reading Division, annihilate the Bantian Wing of the Army, and avenge our fallen comrades," Liu Hua ordered into the microphone one by one.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task" Soon, the voices of commanders at all levels came from the dozen or so microphones in front of him.

Now that he had received the total order, Li Yong, who had put down the phone, began to make nervous arrangements, and handed over all the mortars that the two regiments could collect to the hands of the second regiment, which had already detoured behind the attack force of the Japanese army. And the third battalion of the reserve of his own regiment, under his own orders, secretly detoured back to the flank of the army, ready to give the little devil a fatal blow at any time. After getting all the troops arranged, Li Yong, as the commander-in-chief, began to quietly wait for the best time to attack.

He raised the binoculars in his hand and carefully observed the battle of the first battalion. He was waiting, and when the morale of the army was high, he suddenly caught them off guard. Give the little devil a fatal blow and completely crush the confidence of the little devil. Finally, when the time came, the remaining 300 troops of the Yue Army, under the personal command of the second captain, rushed to a place less than 50 meters away from the position of the first battalion. Just as they were about to achieve victory, Li Yong gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, a running group composed of 24 mortars, dozens of grenadiers, and 12 mountain artillery pieces of various kinds began to fire a dense rain of bullets at the army. Countless shells rained down on the charging devils. The entire team was shattered in an instant by nearly 100 rounds of various shells.

The fierce artillery fire of the "Baga" not only shattered the charging formation of the little devils, but even the commander of the second brigade of the Yue Army, who was at the end of the attack formation, was also affected. A powerful field artillery shell landed less than six meters away from him. The blast of the cannonballs knocked him to the ground in one fell swoop. The captain of the brigade, under the protection of the orderly, was not injured, but only gnawed a mouthful of dirt.

"Where did the Eighth Route Army of Baga Gageya Road come from with so many artillery, what the hell do they want to do" Raising his head and spitting out the dirt in his mouth, the captain couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Quickly order the troops to retreat, and build fortifications on the spot" The captain who raised his head suddenly reacted when he saw the fragmented team that had been bombed. The reason why the Eighth Route Army dispatched all its artillery fire so late was that they had only one purpose, that is, they wanted to completely annihilate their remaining imperial army of less than 500 people. The captain who reacted did not hesitate, ignored the dense bullets above his head, and began to scurry around the position, commanding loudly.

However, it was still too late. Because the fighters have not only mountain artillery in their hands, but also dozens of mortars and grenadiers with fast firing speed. Just as the commander of the 2nd Brigade was delivering the order, the second round of shells from the artillery group came. There is no doubt that the second round of artillery fire once again sprinkled a lot of salt on the wounds of the Japanese army. The already bombed and fragmented troops were even more messy at this time.

"Baga immediately hidden, gathered to the heavy machine gun squadron, and quickly retreated" Finally, under the command of some squad leaders, Jun Cao. At first, there were some sporadic troops, and slowly and organically retreated, building fortifications. Finally, when the Eighth Route Army fired the tenth round of mortar shells. About 150 little devils after joining up with the remaining 100 people of the machine gun squadron. Under the leadership of the captain of the second brigade of the Japanese army, a simple ring fortification was built on a hillside in an attempt to trap and wait for reinforcements.

"Start the attack" Seeing that the artillery fire on the position basically did not have any lethal effect on the army, the commander-in-chief Li Yong gave the order to charge.

"Tick tock" Immediately, around the little devil's circular fortifications, a loud charge horn sounded. Countless fighters shouted slogans and held bayonets, jumped up from the trenches where they were hiding, and rushed to the hill where the little devils were fortified.

After receiving the order to charge, the soldiers who had been holding back for almost a day rushed to the top of the mountain guarded by the devils with a shout like hungry wolves that smelled blood.

However, just when the soldiers thought that the army had lost the ability to fight back, a fierce heavy machine gun fire rang out, and the soldiers who charged in the front rows were swept to the ground by the remaining heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron of the Yue army. The remaining six heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron of the Yue army surrounded the perimeter of the hill where the Yue army was entrenched, and desperately breathed tongues of fire at the soldiers.

However, the fighters did not fear, and continued to charge in the face of a dense barrage of bullets, and the fighters in front fell, and those behind continued to make up. Finally, after the soldiers paid the price of huge casualties, the army was compressed to a high ground of less than half a square kilometer. Because the density of the firepower of the army was too great, the soldiers temporarily stopped this charge with heavy casualties, and all lay on the ground, waiting for the arrival of their artillery.

"Report to the regiment commander, the artillery company has come to report, please instruct" Soon, the artillery company commander arrived at the battlefield with more than twenty mortars.

"Okay, immediately build an artillery position, and blow up the hill guarded by the little devils for me" Li Yong glanced at the position of the army that had just caused at least one company casualties to his troops, and said fiercely.

Soon, more than two dozen mortars were in position behind the fighters, and boxes of shells were brought up. Finally, the dull sound of cannon ejection sounded behind the soldiers, and more than 20 shells rained down on the positions of the Japanese army.

"Baga despicable Chinan" thought that with the heavy machine gun in his hand and the dense tongue of fire in his hand, he could hold out for a while. Hearing the sound of artillery and seeing the countless shells flying towards him, the second captain of the army was desperate. In order to concentrate the limited firepower of his troops, he repeatedly compressed his position, but he forgot the artillery in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In the narrow position, he knew what would happen to the remaining 200 people and more than 200 people, in the face of the shelling of the [***] team. With the sound of violent explosions, the wails of the soldiers rang out all around. The second captain of the army completely lost confidence in his future, slowly unbuttoned his shirt, pulled out the command knife personally granted to him by His Majesty the Emperor, and plunged it into his lower abdomen

However, the jade shattering of the second brigade commander did not stop the shelling of the Eighth Route Army. The raindrops of shells were still under the order of the regiment commander Li Yong, and they smashed into the dilapidated positions of the Japanese army. Finally, after the artillery company had fired all the shells it carried, the battlefield finally fell silent.

"Comrades, rush" a loud roar broke the temporary silence after the shelling, and the soldiers lying on the ground jumped up, bayonets, and shouted and rushed towards the army position, which had become a ruin. In less than a minute, the swarming fighters had already rushed to the position of the little devils and surrounded the remaining little devils of less than 100 people.

After the baptism of intensive artillery fire, more than half of the remaining little devils were basically seriously injured. Only about 40 little devils remained, with bayonets. The siege of the city was made and the wounded were surrounded in it. Of course, maybe it's because the artillery fire is over, maybe it's because the devil believes too much in his stabbing skills. Facing the nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army around him, none of the more than 40 little devils felt frightened, and began to calmly reload the rifles in his hands. Seeing the yellow bullets falling to the ground with a click, the soldiers seemed to be a little stunned, and no one even rang out for the army to shoot.

"Damn, what are you doing in a daze, shoot" Li Yong, the commander of the first regiment, rushed into the encirclement of the soldiers, and saw the little devil who was retreating the bullets, without any hesitation. From the hands of a machine gunner next to him, a machine gun that snatched the soldier's hand and began to fire at the more than forty little devils in the middle of the position.

"Da Da Da" dense bullets spat out from the machine gun in Li Yong's hand. And the little devil in front of Li Yong really looked at Li Yong in front of him in shock, and fell in a pool of blood with a loud shout. And it wasn't until Li Yong shot that the surrounding soldiers reacted from their shock. They all raised their weapons and opened fire. Immediately, a dense burst of gunfire rang out again in the silent position. In a matter of seconds, the little devils with less than 100 people in the middle of the position were wiped out by the soldiers.

"Start cleaning the battlefield immediately and treat the wounded" Seeing more than 100 corpses of little devils in front of him, Li Yong did not have the slightest pity. Throwing down the light machine gun in his hand, he threw this order to the soldiers around him, and hurried to the regimental command post. The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he wanted to tell the commander of the command headquarters in the shortest possible time
