Itagaki Seishiro said: "Okay, order our division to take the lead in launching an attack on the Soviet armored division positions. It must be ferocious enough."
"yes!"
The chief of staff shouted loudly, then picked up the signal gun and fired a red signal bomb directly into the sky.
The red signal flare, after flying high into the sky, bloomed with red light, like a firework, and then began to slowly fall down.
On the Soviet position in the distance, the Soviet soldiers on duty at night raised their heads with some confusion and looked at the signal flares rising in the sky.
At this moment, earth-shattering shouts of killing began to come from the grassland in the distance.
¡°Onboard!!!¡±
The Japanese soldiers shouted "board load". Above their heads, illumination bombs rose high into the sky, illuminating the helmets of these soldiers and reflecting a dark light.
"The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!!!"
On the Soviet position, warning shots rang out. The soldiers who were still sleeping with their rifles in their hands suddenly woke up from their sleep. Then they poked their heads out of the trenches one after another and were shocked when they looked at the Japanese soldiers charging across the mountains and plains.
During such a long period of fighting, it was not like they had never seen night attacks by Japanese troops. However, most of those night raids were small-scale, and their purpose was to harass them.
But this time, there were thousands of Japanese troops charging head-on. Such a huge number is simply staggering.
This is the most powerful charge the armored forces have ever encountered since the battle with the Fifth Division.
The Soviet soldiers quickly entered the position, but the Japanese army was also quick enough. Many Japanese soldiers who were rushing ahead had already jumped into the position holding explosive packs and cluster grenades.
Their purpose in doing this was to use cluster grenades and explosive packs to kill the Soviet troops on the position together.
Many of the Soviet troops had not yet realized what was going on, and they saw black shadows one after another jumping into their trenches.
These Soviet troops opened fire, but after killing the Japanese troops, the cluster grenades and explosive packets that had been pulled would still explode.
"Boom!" Explosions occurred one after another, echoing on the Soviet front. Countless Japanese soldiers acted as human bombs, blasting the Soviet position into a mess at the beginning of the battle.
While the Soviet troops were in chaos on the position, the Japanese troops from behind had already rushed up. They held their bayonets straight and stabbed one Soviet soldier after another under the illumination of flares.
"Fire! Fire tanks and armored vehicles!" the Soviet frontline commander yelled.
Those Soviet soldiers who were originally sleeping in tanks and armored vehicles began to use the firepower on the vehicles to straf and bombard the Japanese troops without the commander's orders.
But now they lacked the cover of infantry. Under the surging Japanese charge like a flood, they were overwhelmed by the Japanese infantry in an instant.
¡°Boom!!!¡±
Grenades were thrown into Soviet tanks and armored vehicles one by one.
"Retreat to the second line of defense, and use machine gun firepower to shoot indiscriminately. Don't let the Japanese troops have the opportunity to rush to the rear positions!!" The frontline commander of the Soviet army already had a rough understanding of the battle situation ahead through the walkie-talkie.
He decisively issued the order to abandon the first line of defense and let the troops defend the second line of defense. He knew that the Japanese army on the opposite side lacked the offensive firepower of armored vehicles and tanks, but the infantry had high combat literacy and was very ferocious.
But as long as their heavy machine gun firepower starts to roar and fire bullets into the crowd in front, they can withstand the Japanese army's crazy advance.
Those soldiers fell down in rows, and those who were alive lay down on the ground to reduce the probability of bullets hitting them.
But the Japanese attack did not stop. The soldiers of Itagaki Division began to separate their troops and make a detour towards the Soviet positions from the flanks.
While the Soviet troops were busy resisting the attack of the Fifth Division, the main force of the Japanese army had already begun to launch an attack forward at this time.
Under the cover of night, they successfully avoided the sight of the Soviet army. At the same time, attacks began from the weak points of the Soviet defenses.
On the position of a Soviet company, the soldiers stationed here have basically not participated in theWhat a fight. Because the focus of Itagaki Division's attack is not in this direction, they have not even fired a shot until now.
The fierce sound of gunfire in the distance just now woke them up from their dreams.
According to the company commander¡¯s order, they stopped sleeping and entered into combat mode. They just stared there for a long time, but they didn't see anyone rushing this way.
"Comrade Company Commander, it seems that we have nothing to do anymore." A recruit said slightly disappointed.
Since he was deployed here, he has never really seen what the battlefield is like. I just heard the rumble of distant gunfire every day, but I never saw even a shadow of the Japanese.
This made the new recruit feel a little disappointed. When he thought of the bloodshed on the battlefield, he had a feeling of blood boiling. He wanted to make a contribution on this battlefield, and even be famous forever.
The veteran next to him smiled and said: "What's wrong, you're quite disappointed. It's best not to fight. If there is a fight, people will die."
The soldier said childishly: "What are you afraid of? The worst case scenario is death."
Their company commander said: "Okay, don't worry. The world is not peaceful now. Sooner or later you will fight the enemy. But by that time, I'm afraid you will no longer like war, but when you think about this vocabulary makes me want to vomit.¡±
Just as he was saying this, there were sudden bursts of muffled sounds in the distance.
"What's the sound?" the recruit asked strangely, "Is it our armored troops advancing, or is it going to thunder and rain?"
Those muffled sounds are the original thunder in the distance. When it rained a few days ago, there was such thunder echoing over the vast grassland.
But the veteran and the company commander pricked up their ears.
They knew that it was not thunder, but the sound of cavalry and armored troops advancing rapidly. Not only that, the voice was getting closer and closer to them.
"It's not thunder, it's the sound of armored troops advancing. But why are our armored troops driving in this direction? Are they retreating? Or are they going to support other battlefields?" The company commander murmured strangely. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
