Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 230 Five Steps One Shovel VS Nine Steps Two Guns Full Support Company
Zhongtiao Shanxi Line, the former Third Army position.

Looking at the smoke from the explosion behind him, the corner of the middle officer's mouth twitched.He now firmly believes in one thing, that is, no one can survive under such intensive artillery fire.

Ninety percent of the head of his own division is more ominous than good.But in the current situation, it is not a kind of happiness to die directly under the enemy's artillery fire.

"Baga, there are at least 100 barrel guns."

"Which enemy is so rich? Am I really on the battlefield of the Republic of China? I really don't know what the special high-tech is doing, so that such a huge enemy army can quietly touch the rear."

"If I can go back alive, I will."

Having said that, Okawa Changgo was silent.

The enemy not only has a large number of artillery clusters, but also locust-like fighter jets.

Not only is our own side at a disadvantage in terms of manpower and firepower, but now we are caught between two groups of enemies, and even lost air supremacy, the most important field on the modern battlefield.

To sum up, he didn't think it was possible for him to leave Zhongtiao Mountain alive.

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't be cruel to myself, maybe suicide would be a good choice, at least I wouldn't have to spend the rest of my life in fear.

As for the surrender, the Tianzhu Country Bandit will find out.

Even the head of the division had already died in battle. If he dared to surrender as a small lieutenant, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level.

Throwing his troubled thoughts out of his mind, Okawa Changgo tidied up his military uniform first, and walked towards his position as the captain.

At this time, Ota Sanji was mobilizing before the war, and he was wearing a turban with the ointment flag written on his head.Holding a family samurai sword in his hand, his expression and tone are full of fanaticism, looking like a war madman.

"Our war has reached its final stage!"

"His Majesty Tianlocust needs us! My brother country also needs us! Now is the time for everyone to be loyal! Warriors! Take your weapons and tear apart the enemies who dare to provoke the 36th Division!"

"Long live the locust! Long live the country of Japan! Gentlemen! Let's see you in Kudanzaka!"

As soon as the words fell, nearly a hundred devils who were also wearing ointment flag hoods and shirtless immediately responded to the call.They shouted fanatical slogans with red eyes, and their reason has long since disappeared without a trace.

These people had hideous faces, and most of them had white foam of unknown composition at the corners of their mouths. They could tell they had taken drugs at a glance.

It is worth mentioning that the weapons used by the death squads are also very special.In addition to Molotov cocktails and rifles, everyone is carrying a large package of explosives, most likely to play human bombing for a while.

"Long live His Majesty the Locust, and long live the country of Japan!"

"See you at Kudanzaka."

Seeing this scene, Okawa Changgo behind the position couldn't help but sigh.It's not that he is sad because he thinks those brainwashed death squads are pitiful.

Bushido plus ice, the combination of the two is definitely the only magic weapon to tame the bottom soldiers.

After being indoctrinated by superior officers, not many people can walk out of the new barracks normally, and basically they will become murderous lunatics before they leave the factory.

Coupled with the stimulation of drugs at critical moments, the soldiers are absolutely fearless.

Throwing Molotov cocktails at close range, holding explosives and waiting for the opportunity to rush into the crowd are common operations of death squads.

As the lieutenant of his brother country, Okawa Changgo very much agrees to use the lowest price to stimulate the potential of the soldiers at the bottom.After all, there is no such thing as undead in a war, it's just a matter of rational use of resources.

The reason why he sighed was because he felt a bit emotional about the defeat.

Obviously the situation was good one second ago, but the command post, supply center and reserve team in the rear were all gone the next second.

Judging from the current remaining ammunition of their wing, all soldiers will run out of ammunition and food after fighting for at most one and a half hours.

"Your Majesty! What should we do next?"

"Should we stick to our positions and wait for the support of the 41st Division? Or should we concentrate our existing forces and break out to both sides?"

After hearing his adjutant's inquiry, Ota Sanji brought Okawa Shogo to the temporary command post.

After no one was around, the enthusiasm in the eyes of the devil commander disappeared completely.

This old devil is really a good actor, he does what he does before and what he does after.He didn't want to die. Now that the First Army was missing two division commanders and a brigade commander, the vacant positions were very tempting.

"Next, we will neither stick to it nor break through to things!"

"Now our wing is surrounded by two enemy groups, and we can only hold on for an hour at most. Who knows if Commander Neji Gangcun has arranged for a backup."

"I'm going to let the two infantry brigades and the artillery squadron stand in front, and then lead the elite forces of the regiment to break out to the south. You go and prepare, bring more dry food and ammunition."

In fact, Ota Sanji's decision was correct. The 120th Division has already begun to deploy defenses on the east and west sides of the battlefield.Once the devils rush into the encirclement in a panic, they must be greeted with a thunderous blow!

Breaking out to the south is indeed the method with the greatest chance of survival. After all, after five and a half days of continuous fighting, the spirits of all the soldiers of the Third Army have reached their limit.

Although the Eighth Route Army airdropped supplies to them, their physical strength and spirit cannot be replenished by eating.

"Get ready to fight, the enemy won't give us too long to prepare!"

"Hi!"

······
The battle on the Western Front was intense from the very beginning.

Although there are only 36 people left in the 37th Division, 16th Division and the independent mixed 1th Brigade, and they have lost their own officers and unified command.

But the devils did not wait to be killed. All the survivors took advantage of the relatively high terrain as a unit to block the attack layer by layer, and their determination to resist was very tenacious.

There was hardly a Type [-] heavy machine gun on the frontmost position, and all tactics were mainly grenadiers and Taisho Type [-] light machine guns.

Those are infantry with insufficient ammunition. Their task is to use their lives to test out the firepower of the 120th Division's advancing troops.

Once the task is completed or the few ammunition consumed, the devils will charge, trying to use their lives to pull as many soldiers as possible into the water.

Heavy machine guns are placed on the flanks, and the machine gunner will wait patiently for the opportunity, and will never expose himself until the critical moment.If there is a suitable opportunity, they will not hesitate to pull the trigger even if there are comrades in arms ahead.

Even the drugged death squads didn't rush forward howling, trying to stay awake, hiding in bunkers or disguised as corpses.

As long as the soldiers of the 120th Division show their flaws, these devils will rush up with a full amount of explosives.

Some lucky fighters even got the chance to rush into the crowd and explode themselves under the cover of smoke bombs or gunpowder smoke.

If it weren't for the fact that the comrades have high combat literacy and the assistance of veterans, it is really possible to be caught off guard by the enemy.

But this is also something that can't be helped. The 120th Division has experienced continuous personnel transfers since four years ago.

Although there is sufficient food, weapons and ammunition supplies, the number of troops has nearly doubled, and all regiment-level units strictly implement daily training.

But training is training after all, and many comrades are still on the battlefield for the first time, and their experimental experience is seriously lacking.

Those enemy infantry who rushed out of trenches, bomb craters, and even corpses were really hard to guard against.

Faced with the way of the devils who exchanged their lives for their lives, the casualties of troops at all levels were not optimistic.Almost every step forward has a price to pay.

The battle has been fought until now, and there is a faint sign of another war.

Looking at the real-time battle report sent back from the front line, the head of the 715 regiment was furious.He picked up the phone beside him and issued new orders to the battalion and company levels.

"Have you forgotten what our advantage is? It's firepower! Do you understand that we should make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?"

"The troops are equipped with so many mortars, and this time they brought a huge amount of shells! You guys are using them!"

"We are no longer the Eighth Route Army of the past! Use shells to open the way for me! As long as there is any suspected enemy! Give me a round of bombing to confirm the situation first!"

With the order of the regimental commander, each unit gave full play to its superior firepower theory.

In the process of advancing, the company's 50mm mortars, the battalion's 60mm mortars, and the regiment's 81mm mortars performed well.

Any organized resistance should be eliminated immediately and promptly.

When encountering trenches or large-scale bomb craters, first suppress the surrounding enemies with rifles and light and heavy machine guns.Then the infantry advanced steadily, regardless of whether someone threw the grenade first.

When encountering a devil's corpse, shoot half the shuttle with a submachine gun first, and pretend to be dead to make him really dead.

Facing the firepower of troops at all levels of the 120th Division to open the way, the casualties of the devils soared.This is the crushing of logistical capabilities, how can one shovel in five steps fight a full support company in nine steps and two guns.

Even though some death squads use the lives of their comrades as a cover, moderately few break through the defense line, and even fewer devils can exchange their lives for their lives.

The balance of victory was already in his favor, Mr. Beard nodded in satisfaction.However, the political commissar had some opinions. He pointed to the column of casualties and said solemnly:

"Our soldiers are still too kind, and they should kill those inhuman Japanese beasts!"

"After this battle is over, we have to conduct special training. I don't want to exchange hard-won recruits with those worthless devils."

"Just now there is news from the third army, and they are ready to cooperate with us in launching a general offensive!"

What his political commissar said made Mr. Beard nod. The Eighth Route Army also had death squads at the beginning of the war, but it was a helpless move due to the lack of heavy weapons.

Facing the enemy's firepower points, gun towers, bunkers, and even tanks, there is no direct firepower and the soldiers can only rely on their lives.

To put it bluntly, at the critical moment of the great battle, their own death squads were worse than the current devils.

However, the nature of the two sides is different. The high-level enemy regards infantry as consumables and doesn't care about casualties at all.

And the comrades on our own side are dedicated to their comrades in arms, not to mention that everyone will try their best to protect themselves, no one will have the idea of ​​dying together from the beginning.

"Hey, those enemies are all brainwashed and definitely drugged."

"We have arranged veterans in every unit. After going through this battle, comrades will definitely grow up."

"Pass my order to let the troops at all levels launch a general attack! Clamp the enemy's remnants with the third army! Try to end the battle before dark! It will be troublesome if it is delayed until night."

"Yes!"

After the ministries received the general offensive order, they fully doubled their firepower.

Under the baptism of mortars of various calibers, the mountain of Zhongtiao Mountain seems to be shorter.In a sense, it would be a bit difficult to find a complete corpse in the devil's position.

······
Zhongtiao Shanxi Line, the third army defense line.

At this moment, the soldiers of the three divisions were already in place.Even the 27th Division of the [-]th Army next door, two regiment-level units broke through the enemy's blockade and successfully merged.

After a short rest, the soldiers swept away their previous fatigue.

In the command post, except for the commander Cun of the 7th Division.A corps commander and two division commanders are all in place, and they are ready to cooperate with the 120th Division's attack.

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army is really rich."

"I just went to the frontier observation post. They are really using shells to open the way every step they take. Even the devils in 1937, the war is not so exaggerated."

"And the weapons they support are all good things! It's not like the bald man in the southwest who picks and searches every time he replenishes ammunition, just like sending a beggar."

Hearing what his old subordinate said, Army Commander Tang glared at Master Li without saying a word.

In fact, he understands the meaning hidden in the other party's words. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity to fight side by side to narrow the relationship between the two parties. If possible, it is better to join the other party directly.

But some things can only be thought about, there are many ways behind the scenes.

"Insanely rich? I think you eat too much meat!"

"Shut up those dangerous thoughts, and bring the troops to join the court now is to add chaos to others!"

"I have just communicated with the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. I will launch a general attack on the 15th and 36th Divisions of the Devils in 37 minutes! Brothers, we will avenge ourselves!"

"it is good!"

Boom boom boom!
As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of explosions from outside.

The three people in the room rushed out immediately. Through the binoculars, they saw the huge explosion and gunpowder smoke rising violently, kicking up the soil debris on the front line.

All the people present were officers with rich combat experience and were familiar with various types of artillery.

The sound and lethality of the explosion just now is definitely not that the Eighth Route Army missed it.Judging from the sound and destructive power, there is a high probability that it is the Devil's Type [-] infantry artillery and Type [-] mountain artillery.

After a while, the front line sent back specific information.

"Commander! Four thousand enemies in the northwest are attacking our position!"

"The opponent should be a new force. Not only do they have more than a dozen cannons, but the infantry also has plenty of ammunition."

This news made Army Commander Tang very upset. The devils still dared to fight on two fronts, and it was clear that they were treating their third army as a soft persimmon.

If we can't beat the Eighth Route Army head-on, we will leave behind the broken troops.The elite troops broke through to the south, trying to enter Zhongtiao Mountain to join the rest of the division.

"Order troops at all levels to defend their positions! That's just a battle between the enemy's trapped beasts!"

"As long as we persist for two hours, the friendly forces will join us! Then we can eat all the enemy forces! Execute the order!"

"Yes!"

　In the early morning of the 15th, I shouldn’t be able to come out anymore. It’s too uncomfortable to stay up late these days, and I can’t bear it.
