Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 117
Under the order of Hamada Ruiren, a brigade with a squadron of 16 75mm mountain guns fired shells roaring towards the positions of the 771st regiment and the second independent regiment!

The company commander of the first battalion and the second company quickly shouted after hearing the roar of the shells: "Dodge the artillery, quickly dodge the artillery!"

After hearing the company commander's order, the soldiers of the second company ran towards the artillery hole quickly and orderly!

Not long after the soldiers entered the anti-blasting hole, the explosion of shells rang out in their positions!
When Tanaka Ren heard the sound of such dense shells exploding, he immediately thought that the little devils below must have reinforcements arriving, because the shells were not so dense last night!
The artillery had just shelled for about 10 minutes, and Hamada Eihito said to Keiji Iwatani: "Iwatani-kun, order an attack! Our mountain artillery can't destroy the opposite position, so we can only let the imperial army try against the artillery fire!"

After hearing this, Keiji Iwatani said in shock: "Hamada-kun, do you know the casualties of the imperial army when you charged up against the shells?"

Hamada Eihito said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't charge up against the gunfire, how can you take down the opposite position? The cowards of your Kumagai unit don't dare to rush up. My Hamada unit will charge. After taking the position, I will report to Commander Shinozuka that you are not suitable to be a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire."

Keiji Iwatani heard that Hamada Eihito said that the imperial army of the Kumagai United was a coward, and immediately said sharply: "Hamada Eihito, I can let my imperial army follow your Hamada United's imperial army to charge, but what if we don't take the position?"

Hamada Ruiren said nonchalantly: "Can't hold the ground? The Japanese are not determined to fight in such a fierce artillery fire. I think that when the imperial army rushes up, they will collapse under the bombardment of the artillery shells! Either they fled, or they knelt on the ground and begged for surrender!"

"Hmph! This is just your fantasy, you haven't said how you can solve the situation if you can't win!"

"Can't take the position? If I can't take the position, I will be responsible for it alone, and I will be responsible for reporting the casualties to the headquarters. I will be under the command of your Kumagai unit in the future!"

"Very good! I agree!"

"Then order the attack"

Eihito Hamada adjusted his military uniform, and said to Keiji Iwatani in a victorious attitude: "Iwatani-kun, then order the attack. My Hamada United is in charge of the southern position, and your Kumagai United is in charge of the northern position!"

"it is good!"

Then the two said to their messengers: "Order the troops to attack!"

"Hi!"

Under the orders of the two, Kumagai United and Hamada United each dispatched a squadron of troops to charge towards the position on the mountain!

The soldiers in charge of observation from the [-]st Battalion and [-]nd Company of the Second Independent Regiment saw that the devils had already started to attack, and immediately shouted to Ren Tanaka: "Company commander, the little devils are starting to charge!"

He Tanakaren, a soldier in a bomb defense hole heard it and muttered: "These little devils are crazy, and they started attacking without stopping the bombardment?"

After Tian Zhongren heard it, he immediately said: "Never mind whether he is crazy or not, our task is to hold this position. Since the little devil dared to wrestle in the shells, the fighters of our independent second regiment are not cowards, and this is not the first time. Tell the brothers to prepare for battle, put the little devil at a position of 50 meters, and don't let us get bombed!"

"Yes!"

After the conversation between the few people, they walked out of the bomb defense hole with a low waist, and huddled in the trench to inform all the soldiers of the Second Company one by one that they had just ordered Tanaka Ren!

When the little devil was 100 meters away from the position, Hamada Ruiren said to Keiji Iwatani with a proud face: "Iwatani-kun, you see, the **** people, they are a bunch of **** without any Bushido spirit, and they are all cowards who are afraid of death. As long as they are threatened by their lives, they will give up resistance! Hahaha"

Keiji Iwatani felt bored seeing Hamada Eihito look like a villain, but now he hoped that the eight roads on the mountain were all desperate lunatics and repelled the imperial army's charge, so that he could regain face in front of Hamada Eihito.

It may be that his prayers had an effect. When the attacking devils were about 50 meters away from the position, countless gunshots suddenly rang out from the opposite position, which caught the charging devils by surprise. The Second Independent Regiment alone killed thirty or forty devils in an instant.

Obviously, the company commander and Hitoshi Tanaka who were stationed in the 771 regiment thought of going together, and they all put the little devil at a position of about 50 meters and started to fight back.

The squadron leaders leading the charge on both sides immediately shouted to the soldiers around them: "There are still 50 meters left, charge me all, don't stop, attack me quickly!"

The charging little devils instinctively started to dodge the moment they were shot, but after hearing their squadron leader's order, they reluctantly crawled out from behind the bunker and started running towards the front position.

It’s not that they don’t want to disobey and hide behind the bunker, and retreat directly after receiving the order to retreat, but that the empire’s punishment for deserters is very severe. Not only will he himself be punished, but his family will also be punished. Men become slaves, women enter the barracks, and become brides every day. Sometimes they may have to make brides several times a day until they die!
So these little devils who heard the order all gritted their teeth and rushed out from behind the bunker, staring straight at the front position. As long as they took this position, they could survive. Otherwise, under such fierce artillery fire and the eight-way machine gun on the position, they would have no chance of surviving!
Finally, when more than 100 little devils died again, the little devils who were in charge of attacking the independent second regiment reached a distance of about 20 meters in front of the position.

Yamashita Hamada Eihito saw that the imperial army had rushed to this distance, and it would be too much accidental injury to fire again, so he ordered the shelling to stop!
When Tanaka Ren saw it, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer. He would fight the bayonet after a while. The soldiers didn't even have time to get out of the trenches, and they would be called one by one by the little devils. So he immediately shouted: "Brothers, go!"

At his order, all the soldiers of the Second Company rushed out of the trench with their bayonet-mounted rifles!

One of the soldiers was a little behind, and when the others were already fighting the devils, he slowly climbed out of the trench!

The last soldier was wrapped with a white cloth on his right arm, and held a pack of explosives in his still-moving left arm, biting a matchlock in his mouth. The moment he rushed out of the trench, he firmly bit down on the matchlock, and shouted to the front: "Little devil, I *your grandma!"

Then squeezed past the soldiers of the Second Independent Regiment in front, and rushed towards the densely packed little devils behind.

The two sides saw a dynamite package whose fuse was ignited, and they all quickly avoided it, for fear that its explosion would affect themselves!
However, since the bombardment of the little devils stopped, the little devils behind were quickly approaching the position of the Second Independent Regiment, so the explosive package carried by this soldier affected more than 20 little devils, which greatly relieved the pressure on the second company of the Second Independent Regiment.

But as soon as the dynamite exploded, the number of people on both sides equalized in an instant!
At the foot of the mountain, Hamada Eihito saw that both sides had already started fighting with bayonets, and immediately said to Keiji Iwatani: "Mr. Iwatani, take advantage of this time and immediately send all the troops up to take this position in one fell swoop!"

After hearing this, Keiji Iwatani could only say helplessly: "Good Hamada-kun!"

Then Keiji Iwatani said to the messenger around him: "Let the third brigade rush up as fast as possible!"

Hamada Ruiren also said to the messenger next to him: "Let the first brigade rush to the opposite position at full speed and take this position!"

Following the order of the two, the devils from the two brigades immediately assembled, ready to support the devils on the mountain ridge!

Zhang Zhong and Tanaka Ren also saw the movements of the Yamashita devils!
Ren Tanaka used a big knife to pick away the bayonet that a devil stabbed towards him, and took advantage of the gap to shout: "Brothers, hurry up and get rid of this group of idiots, more devils will come up from the mountain!"

Zhang Zhong also quickly ordered: "Notify the third company to support the second company, and quickly deal with these devils who have rushed up!"

"Yes!"

When the soldiers from the [-]st Battalion and [-]nd Company of the Independent Second Regiment heard this, all of them stared fiercely in their eyes. The two adjacent soldiers all looked at each other, and then they all killed the devil recklessly.

At this moment, they didn't care about their injuries at all, and continued to fight with minor injuries. As long as they were seriously injured, they would pull off the grenade rope on their bodies and pounce on the devil's formation with all their strength!
Just as all members of the first battalion and the second company moved forward, a thin figure quietly withdrew to the position; at this time, his left arm was gone, blood was still flowing from the hideous wound, and his face was abnormally pale, obviously a symptom of excessive blood loss!
After entering the trench, he walked tremblingly to the blast hole where the explosives were stored, picked up two explosives with his remaining right arm, and walked out hobblingly.

After returning to the trench, he first threw the two explosive packs outside the trench, and then crawled out of the trench little by little. After he climbed out of the trench, his face became even paler, and his eyes began to loosen.

But he still used his only remaining right arm and tried hard to get himself up. Due to the severe blood loss, he had no strength in his whole body. He had to do this three times to fully stand up.

Then he glanced at the two explosive packs next to him, smiled wryly and finally picked up only one.

The soldiers of the second company in front were fighting the devils, and from time to time there would be a grenade explosion, which indicated that one of his comrades would die with one or more devils.

Looking at the more than 100 animals left in front of him, he clamped the dynamite bag tightly, and slowly walked towards them with the match in his mouth. The moment he approached them, he raised his neck and ignited the fire wire of the dynamite bag.

Then he rushed towards the direction where more than 20 devils gathered, but because he had lost much strength, he did not rush to the center of the group of devils.

When he realized that he didn't fall in the place he planned, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, because he felt that his time was running out, and he might close his eyes permanently in the next moment.

Then he exhausted the last bit of strength in his body and rolled his body down the mountain. When his body rolled down the mountain, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he did it, even if the group of little devils couldn't be killed, they would retreat the moment they saw the explosive package, so that other soldiers would have enough time to return to the position to start the gun battle again, and the casualties would be much less than melee combat!
The moment after the smile appeared on his face, he couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyes slowly closed.

Although the soldier had died, his body and the ignited explosives did not stop the fight;

Maybe he was crazy, the little devil didn't pay attention to the corpses rolling towards them, but gathered quickly, trying to break through the second company's line in one go.

But just as they gathered, a corpse that rolled to their feet suddenly exploded.

This explosion directly blew up more than 30 devils who had gathered into limbs and broken arms. In addition, he exploded in the formation of the devils, so countless devils were affected by the explosion. The soldiers of the second company who saw this scene no longer maintained their formation, and quickly rushed into the formation of the little devils to start harvesting.

Due to the impact of the explosion and the timely impact of the soldiers of the second company, the casualties of this group of devils increased rapidly. Finally, when there were about 30 people left, their hearts were shaken and they felt scared.
The second company commander saw that the remaining 20 little devils had retreated, and quickly ordered: "Don't chase, hurry back to the trench and prepare to block, there are more devils rushing up below!"

After hearing Tanaka Ren's words, the soldiers of the second company quickly returned to the trenches to stop the devils behind, although they were unwilling to do so!

Just after they returned to the trenches, the soldiers of the third company just came up to support them, which shows how short the fighting time was.

After arriving at the trench, Fang Baoping, the commander of the third company, saw that the battle was over, and said to the commander of the second company, Tian Zhongren, in surprise: "Old Tian, ​​you, your second company actually repelled more devils than you so quickly?"

The second company commander Tian Zhongren said with a wry smile: "Hehe, yes, I didn't expect to be able to kill the little devil so quickly!
Do you know how my second company drove them off?How many casualties did the second company have? "

Fang Baoping, the head of the third company, asked suspiciously: "How did you get out? How many casualties?"

Hitoshi Tanaka: "Hehe, 34 people from my second company were killed in battle, no serious injuries, no minor injuries!"

He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "The reason why we were able to drive the little devils out so quickly is because two soldiers from my second company killed about 60 devils with an explosive bag each. The soldiers who used the explosives in the back indirectly disrupted the formation of the little devils, and we were able to drive them down before the troops behind the little devils rushed up!"
