Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 454 The decisive battle is coming
After the last bang.

There was silence above the 'Lonely Tomb'.

Under the light of the flares, the Japanese army looked at the battlefield full of remains. For the first time, they did not raise their bayonets and the cheers of the military flag and the tsunami belonged to their own victory.

It's not that they are afraid of the mortar bombardment of the Chinese in the distance. After the bombardment that completely killed each other 10 minutes ago, none of the several mortars owned by the Chinese fired.

No matter how stupid you are, you know that the Chinese people who have been driven into a desperate situation have already run out of fuel.

Whether it is on the hills or in the trenches by the river, the continuous firing of the Chinese once fierce shell guns and submachine guns is no longer the main theme of the battlefield.

The unique gunshots of the [-]-type rifle occupied the entire battlefield, both China and Japan.

yes!Even if it is as strong as the 36th Infantry Brigade, after nearly 2 hours of uninterrupted continuous mad attack, its artillery fired 80.00% of its shell reserves, and its infantry also consumed enough ammunition to support normal battles for three days, far inferior to the Japanese army Why don't the equipped Chinese consume all their ammunition?

The Chinese may not be afraid of death, but after all, it is only a matter of will, and there is no exchange for bullets.

Just as the Japanese army on the hill thought, with regard to ammunition, it was completely exhausted on the lonely hill, and there was not much left in the trenches. The remaining submachine gun bullets were concentrated in the hands of elite veterans, unless the Japanese army had already attacked Go into the trenches, otherwise you will never shoot. What maintains the crumbling line of defense is the rifle recovered from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers before the battlefield.

As for the four mortars in Pang Haihai's hands, it didn't mean that they were completely consumed. He still had 4 shells.

It's just that since the 67th Army fought against Japan in North China and witnessed the tragedy of the Japanese invaders killing prisoners, most of them are used to leaving the last bullet for themselves.

The four shells will only be fired after the entire position is captured, and then the artillery will return to the infantry collectively and rush into the enemy group.

The Japanese did not cheer, not because of fear, but because of great frustration.

Until the entire hill was occupied, the remains of Chinese soldiers found by them did not exceed 180, which meant that it was just a strengthened infantry company, but they used nearly five infantry squadrons and paid more than 600 yuan for this. human losses.

Among them, one captain of the infantry squadron was killed in battle, five lieutenants and second lieutenants were killed, and there were as many as 26 soldiers, Cao Chang and Sergeant Cao, who belonged to the backbone of the soldiers.

Absolutely superior military strength, absolutely superior firepower, but they have achieved such a shocking record, what else is there to cheer about?
But this may be just the thoughts of the Japanese infantry who stood on the conquered position but only tasted the thick bitterness. For Kanda Shochu, who finally received the conquered hill position, he was really relieved. .

For the army commander at this time, it was no longer an important tactical point to conquer. He could mount machine guns and infantry guns on the hills to shoot at the Chinese who were still fighting in the trenches. Instead, he needed the results of the battle.

Although the shockingly huge number of casualties has already made people numb, he knew that, as the supreme commander on the front line, he must be able to write down these numbers in the battle report in exchange for something.

'Conquer the most important heavy fire position of the enemy of China! 'It will be a fig leaf for him to hand over to the brigade and regiment headquarters and even the division and regiment headquarters.

Even if this fig leaf was exchanged for the lives of more than 600 imperial infantrymen.

That doesn't matter, what matters is that he needs a result.

If such a number of casualties is still unable to attack the Chinese position, I am afraid that the already battered brigade commander who stayed 800 meters away will drag him into the blacklist in advance!
On the frontal battlefield with more casualties, he was more relaxed. According to the current battle situation, the Chinese position would be broken by him sooner or later.

As for the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, which is in urgent need of rescue, the Colonel of the Japanese Army has already selectively forgotten it. Even without infantry protection, they are a dignified Imperial Artillery Brigade!With a force close to 8000 people, the small group of Chinese who attacked them can be killed with a heap of human lives!
What kind of farewell telegram did Baga send, on the Yusha battlefield of the whole army, who would you send it to?Anyway, I'm fighting right now, whoever makes it embarrassing!

Anyway, Kanda Shochu, who finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, would never believe that the current plight of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade is as tragic as described in their telegram.In his opinion, it was nothing more than the alarmist talk of the Major General of Heavy Artillery, whom he had never seen before.

Of course, even if that was the case, what could he do?He has tried his best. For those idiots, the imperial infantry has already paid 2000 casualties. Even if they win in the end, the brigade can be regarded as half disabled. It will take two and a half years to restore the fighting power of the past. .

"Order the heavy machine gun squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion to enter the occupied positions, and order the regiment directly under the infantry artillery to enter the occupied positions." Kanda Shochu quickly issued the military order, his eyes were cold and his voice was passionate.

"In front of the order, the whole army will temporarily stop attacking. When all the redeployment and heavy firepower are in place, our army will launch a final blow to the Chinese. In this battle, I will personally go to the front line to fight side by side with you! The empire, the military fortune is prosperous! "

"Hi!"

In the field headquarters shrouded in dim light, all the rank and file combat staff officers bowed their heads in unison.

The morale, which had been sluggish due to the successive attacks, was boosted by a certain commander's declaration of "fighting side by side".

Perhaps, only the chief of staff of the 36th Infantry Brigade, Lieutenant of the [-]th Infantry Brigade, whose face was covered by darkness, set his mouth slightly curled to express his disdain.

They were all beaten into pig heads by the Chinese, and they are still showing off!There is no such thing as "fighting side by side", but it is just a symbolic stand in the trench dug by the supervisory team and watch your infantry fall on the way to charge.

That's it, I still have to compete with Lao Tzu for this front-line commander, idiot!This may be Seto Nelli's only evaluation of his colleague.

Although he knew very well that although his colleague in Xiu'er was not very smart in fighting, he was proficient in officialdom.

The reason why Kanda Shozhong competed with him for the role of the first commander on the front line was to think of a way to mitigate his guilt.Regardless of this victory, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, because of their 36th Infantry Brigade, encountered a long-planned attack by the Chinese, and they all needed someone to take responsibility.

The brigade commander, Major General Ushidoman, is of course the first person in charge, but he is a major general, and he also has big backers in the base camp. At most, he will retire from active service and enter the reserve service. will be rehired.

The rank of a major officer is too low, and he doesn't have the qualifications to take the blame. Obviously, the blame can only fall on the captain and the lieutenant.

Kanda Shochu must not show his life!Perhaps that was the last time he called the shots as Colonel.

It's a pity that his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness. I'm afraid Kanda Shochu didn't expect his opponent to be so tough. He actually blocked his army for nearly two hours, and even caused such heavy casualties to the imperial infantry.

As a last resort, I had to make a declaration to go to the battlefield.

If this idiot is killed by Chinese stray bullets or ruthless gunmen, it will be a joy!The little devil in the heart of the Japanese army lieutenant who put his face into the dim light was flapping his wings desperately.

Because of the ownership of a corner of the battlefield, the Japanese army has mixed emotions.

The battlefield also fell into a brief silence.

In the Chinese trench shrouded in darkness again, the stingy old Zhou's figure was as stiff as a clay sculpture.

He was not sad that his position would face the last violent Japanese attack, nor was he even sad that the important place he and Lao Zhao had chosen was lost.

Instead, he knew that the old comrade who liked to make fun of himself was dead!

Still so unreasonable, with an almost outrageous method, he snatched the quota of the first to die.
