Kimura Nakasa sat in front of the battle map with his head hanging down, and the busy people in the headquarters were shaking in front of his eyes. He just felt upset for a while.

He overturned the table holding the map and walked out of the tent under the constant gaze of the staff officer.

He held a saber in one hand and swung around throughout the military camp. All soldiers who met him saluted him respectfully.

After walking around this circle, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel found that the morale of the imperial warriors is very low.

Most of the soldiers were lying in their tents languidly, as if they were suffering from the plague. Unlike the high-spirited imperial warriors who had just landed, these soldiers seemed to have been frightened by the Chinese.

The division commander repeatedly urged him to capture the enemy's position as soon as possible, but he was unable to capture it for a long time.

Kimura knew that the imperial army's offensive in the past half month had not been going well, and the defense lines of the army were extremely strong. Such a continuous and violent attack had killed tens of thousands of imperial warriors.

Kimura came to the watchtower again. On the opposite side, the man's position was vaguely visible.

These days, he has been commanding the troops to attack from this watchtower, and has witnessed with his own eyes the desperate resistance of the Chinese army.

Before landing in China, he had always thought that such a spirit of self-sacrifice could only be possessed by imperial warriors who were absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

However, these days of fighting have refreshed his understanding again and again. The bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers are no weaker than those of the imperial warriors. As for the defenders on the opposite side, they are even stronger than the imperial soldiers.

Nearly 10 days of fierce attacks by one of my own brigade failed to shake the Chinese position at all, but instead made my soldiers fall into fear of the enemy soldiers.

Kimura felt deeply guilty.

After taking a few more glances at the Chinese position opposite, where no one was seen, he got off the watchtower and decided to organize the attack himself today.

..

"Are the statistics clear?"

Jiang Dong asked Zhang Shengqing calmly.

"Report to the battalion commander, the statistics are out." Zhang Shengjun's voice was a little sad.

"explain."

"Including the lightly wounded in the entire battalion, there are still a total of 150 people who can move!"

Jiang Dong's fingers gently turned on the butt of the 38 rifle, without any expression on his face.

Just 20 days after entering the Songhu battlefield at the end of September, the entire battalion had already suffered 2/3 casualties.

"That's it." Jiang Dong handed the gun in his hand to Xiaodouzi, "Go and find Liu Dagui for me. After resting for so long, it's time for them to come on stage."

Zhang Shengqing nodded, knowing that the battalion commander must have a new plan.

Liu Dagui is the squad leader of the machine gun squad. His machine gun squad was replaced by Jiang Dong with a second lieutenant's saber and the regimental commander.

During this period of time, Jiangdong has not used machine guns in defense, and he plans to save this trump card until the most critical moment.

Today is the most critical time. If you don't play all your cards, the few remaining seedlings in the whole camp will be consumed by the little devils!

"By the way, Xiaodouzi!" Jiang ** suddenly remembered something,

"Go and call Zhu Ergou!"

"yes!"

Zhu Ergou's mortar platoon played a key role in attacking the Yamashita brigade. After the war, they also collected a lot of ammunition. In recent days, the defensive platoon has put out a lot of mortar artillery. I heard that Zhu Ergou now only has one gun.

.

Jiang Dong was ready to use all his strength to give the little devil a heavy blow.

Soon Zhang Shengqing came over with Liu Dagui.

"battalion commander!"

Jiang Dong nodded and looked at Liu Dagui,

"Squad Leader Liu, how is your brother resting?"

"Report to the battalion commander, the brothers are resting well. They are all screaming and wanting to go into battle to kill the Japanese."

Liu Dagui answered loudly.

These days, he and several of his brothers were watching his comrades on the front line fighting the Japanese. The comrades' spirit of self-sacrifice deeply touched them.

The machine gun squad has long wanted to join the battle group, but has never received the battalion commander's order.

"Well, very good. I haven't assigned you any tasks since you came from the regiment headquarters. It's not that I don't want to use you, I just want to keep you until the most critical moment."

Jiang Dong looked at Liu Dagui and continued,

"You must have seen that the brothers on the battlefield have suffered heavy losses these days. Many brothers have died together with the little devils."

After hearing Jiang Dong's words, everyone's expressions became sad.

"Please give the order to the battalion commander. We must be like our dead comrades and never retreat until we die!"

Liu Dagui was infected by the atmosphere and shouted.

"Well, good brother!" Jiang Dong stood up and hammered Liu Dagui a few times in front of him. "I have a plan. Let's discuss it together when Brother Ergou arrives."

As soon as Jiang Dong finished speaking, Xiaodouzi and Zhu Ergou arrived.

"Ergou, time is running out, so I won't talk nonsense with you. Do your cards still have the strength to fight?"

Zhu Ergou is Jiang Dong's subordinate, so he doesn't need to be polite when speaking.

"Report to the battalion commander, we still have five brothers in our platoon, one mortar, and 13 rounds of artillery shells."

Zhu Ergou replied loudly that he originally had about 50 brothers, more than 10 of whom were killed in the battle, and he sent the rest to the front line.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me tell you the plan!"

The two company commanders and several others stood at attention.

"The purpose of this plan is to kill the little devils' active forces so that they will never have the courage to set foot on our positions again."

"Please give me the order, battalion commander!"

"My idea is that after a little resistance today, we will put the Japs into the first front, and everyone with bayonets on their guns will hide in the second front!"

Jiang Dong shouted loudly:

"Liu Dagui!"

"exist!"

"I'll give you 10 more people. Once the little devil comes to the buffer zone between the first and second fronts, you can push the machine cannon up and give me a good fucking beating!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

"Zhu Ergou!"

"Here!" Zhu Ergou took a step forward from the crowd.

"Once the machine guns start firing, you have to throw all your shells at me. Remember, let the shells fall behind the little Japs' attacking troops, and push them from back to front! I want the little Japs to die if they advance, and they will die if they retreat.

die!"

"Yes, battalion commander, please take a look, I will definitely kill Gou Ri."

Hearing Jiang Dong's arrangement, everyone felt a little excited. As long as we can kill the little devil as much as possible, death is worth it.

"After the machine gun fired two rounds, the brothers went up with me with bayonets to kill the little Japanese."

Jiangdong finally concluded.

"Batalion Commander, let me lead the brothers to fight with the little Japanese with bayonets!" Wang Laohu stood up and said.

Jiang Dong knew what Wang Laohu meant, "Don't talk nonsense, just do as I say!"

Everyone went separately to prepare.

..

Kimura has already assembled his team, and he is planning to let an almost intact squadron attack today.

"Ohara-kun, please!" Kimura said to a captain.

"Hiyi!"

The Obara Squadron had the fewest casualties in the entire brigade and had slightly better morale. Kimura pinned his hopes of capturing the position on them.

After half an hour of artillery preparations, Obara led his men and began to attack.

Two hundred and fifty heavily armed Japanese Empire warriors, with the cooperation of heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and infantry, quickly attacked the enemy's position 200 meters in front.

Obara was a little excited, and even the Japs under him relaxed their vigilance.

Today, the firepower on the enemy's position was very weak. Captain Ohara thought that the enemy could no longer hold on, so he kept urging his Japanese soldiers to charge forward.

The brave warriors of the Japanese Empire finally attacked the enemy. In front of the man's trench, they saw several poorly dressed soldiers. The soldier fled backwards in a hurry.

Such a scene convinced Squadron Leader Obara and the more than 200 Japs under his command that the army had been completely defeated.

They happily crossed the trenches and pushed deeper into the position.

Although Lieutenant Kimura felt that it was strange that it was going too smoothly, when he saw that the flag of the Empire of Japan had been planted on the defenders' position, he almost jumped for joy.

This difficult bone was finally broken by him with his old teeth.
