Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 130 Defense System
Shigekawa Riki took some time to reorganize the troops, and discussed the new combat plan with Yoshida Tokumori.

After paying more than 400 casualties, they finally knew the deployment and fortifications of some Eighth Route Army troops on the reverse slope.

"This is a new tactic!" Yoshida Chimori said: "The Eight Routes built fortifications at a distance of about 50 meters from the reverse slope. If we fight according to conventional tactics, the firepower will not be able to be effectively used at all!"

Shigekawa Riki can understand what Yoshida Chimori said.

The several ridgelines of the hilltop position were like a broken ruler, dividing the Japanese army into several parts that could not coordinate with each other.

When the soldiers at the front charged towards the enemy's position, the soldiers at the back on the slope didn't even know what was going on ahead, and were still nervously dealing with the grenades flying into the air.

If before this, Shigekawa Lizhi would not have thought that such a tactic existed in the world, let alone that this tactic would work.

But the fact is in front of his eyes, this tactic is real, and he was beaten very embarrassingly.

The only good news is that Shigekawa Lizhi doesn't need to worry about these Eighth Route Army troops escaping, because they are waiting there for the Japanese army to bring them to their guns.

"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?" Shigekawa Riki asked.

Yoshida Chimori looked at his watch and replied, "More than an hour!"

Shigekawa Lizhi found that he actually hoped that the reinforcements would arrive earlier and take over the battlefield.

At the same time, Shigekawa Lizhi was also a little uneasy. He realized that the enemy in front of him was not the main force he had imagined before. They were probably just ordinary troops using a new tactic, and there were not many troops.

After thinking for a long time, Shigekawa Riki finally decided to hide this idea.He couldn't face Neiji Okamura's questioning, and at the same time he couldn't face his own failure... The Eighth Route Army in front of him, which was not the main force, could cause heavy casualties to his troops. This is a great shame for Shigekawa Lizhi!
After thinking about it, Shigekawa Lizhi said: "With a distance of 50 meters, we may choose to rush into their position and fight hand-to-hand!"

Before that, hand-to-hand combat has been avoided by the Japanese army as much as possible, because it will increase casualties, but now, hand-to-hand combat is what Shigekawa Rikishi pursues, because it will reduce casualties.

"It's worth trying!" Yoshida Chimori nodded in agreement: "If conventional tactics don't work, then try hand-to-hand combat!"

So the Japanese army organized an attack again!

This time, they did not organize firepower at the top of the hill as before, but instead lurked in teams on the front slope. Each soldier had a bayonet on his rifle and only left one magazine, and handed in the rest.

The reason why only one clip was left was because, on the one hand, the ammunition truck of the Yoshida Brigade was either bombed or trapped in the encirclement, and ammunition was slightly insufficient at this time.

On the other hand, it is worried about dying in the enemy's position and ammunition being used by the enemy.

It was Yoshida Chimori who directed the charge. Seeing that he was almost ready, he waved back.

With a bang, the grenades fired grenades towards the opposite side one after another.

There are a total of twenty grenades, and Yoshida Chimori hopes that they can throw grenades into the enemy's trenches by feeling... Yoshida Chimori thinks it is more important to feel when the target cannot be seen.

After hearing the grenade exploding on the opposite side, Yoshida Tokumori drew out his command sword and swung forward, shouting: "His Majesty the Emperor, long live!"

"Long live!" Teams of devils jumped up from their hiding places, shouting and carrying bayonets, rushed over the top of the mountain towards the Eighth Route Army's position like a tide.

This may be the tactic that the Japanese army should adopt most.

The reason is that the Eighth Route Army does not have enough ammunition for machine guns to fire, and it is precisely this kind of equipment that can shoot a large number of bullets in a short time that is the nemesis of swarm charges.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army did not hesitate, and immediately threw out a row of grenades to blow up a cloud of smoke at the front of the position, and then turned around and got into the tunnel.

Wang Xuexin also got into the nearest tunnel.

The anti-slope fortification is not only a ground fortification, but also a defense system combining the ground and the underground.

When facing an enemy group charge in an unfavorable situation, the best way is to hide in the tunnel.

The tunnel is a bit depressing and dull, and there is always worry that the enemy will throw a few grenades in from outside the hole.

But in fact, this kind of worry is superfluous. The tunnel is in the shape of "", and it is impossible for the grenade to be thrown in.

At the corner, like a tunnel, a gunman was placed with a hollowed-out bamboo tube. The muzzle of the gun was facing the tunnel entrance, and whenever an enemy appeared, there would be a "bang".

When necessary, grenades can be slid out along the bamboo tube from the inside to the outside in the tunnel.

Yoshida Chimori, who rushed up with the troops, was surprised.

At first, what surprised him was that he had laid down the line of defense with hundreds of casualties and failed to take it down with just one charge.

Then, to his surprise, the enemy disappeared out of thin air as if burrowing into the ground.

Finally, to his surprise, the enemy actually got into the ground, because he found several tunnel openings.

"Continue to attack!" Yoshida Chimori ordered without thinking: "Blast them out of the hole!"

The devils ignited the grenades one by one, knocked them and threw them into the tunnel. After a "boom", they burrowed into the tunnel.

As a result, before he took a few steps, he only heard a gunshot, and then there was no movement.

Yoshida Chimori felt a bit confused, but also a little scared.

Because this is another tactic he doesn't know, it is conceivable that there must be a special structure inside this tunnel to deal with attacks from the outside.

To know these structures without knowing how much it costs.

Unbeknownst to Yoshida, this was only the beginning of trouble.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "Grenade".

After a "boom" explosion, several soldiers fell in a pool of blood... The semi-closed nature of the trench doubled the power of the grenade.

Yoshida Chimori thought it was just an accident.

It could have been accidentally set ablaze by a soldier, or a booby trap, or a dying enemy...

But Yoshida soon found out he was wrong.

One by one, the grenades slid down the small holes on the side of the trench.Amid the successive explosions, the devils were either killed or injured, or hurried out of the trenches.

The trenches may be the enemy's hideout, but they are not theirs.

However, climbing out of the trenches is also not a wise choice...

The second trench, located in the middle of the reverse slope, played a role at this time. It was 100 meters away from the first trench and was still within the range of the rifle.

Moreover, because the slope of the high ground was lowered step by step, the devils were once again exposed to the guns of the second trench without any cover.

Yoshida felt a little hopeless.

He believes that these fortifications of the enemy cannot be captured by his brigade!
