    On the position, burning corpses can be seen everywhere, as well as Japanese soldiers knocked down by bullets.

    In the trenches dug by the Japanese army, the cavalry horses charged, cutting down the Japanese soldiers hiding inside, and even trampled them to death with the iron hooves of the horses.

    By this time, this place had become a Shura field for the Japanese army, and also a place of execution for the Kagel Combat Brigade led by Xia Yang.

    Not only Xia Yang's troops, but also the Soviet troops following Xia Yang also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army at this time.  They fought according to Xia Yang's orders, and at this time they had reaped the results, successfully rushing to the Japanese position.

    According to Xia Yang¡¯s request, they must avoid hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army and use weapons such as rifles and machine guns in their hands to complete the harvest of the Japanese army.

    The biggest purpose of doing this is to reduce our own casualties and kill the Japanese troops to the greatest extent possible.

    This massacre lasted for a full hour before the Japanese rear positions were completely captured by Xia Yang's troops.  There are still several smaller positions where the Japanese army is still resisting, but it is meaningless.

    Xia Yang stepped onto the position and saw his soldiers cleaning up the Japanese corpses on the position.

    They piled up the corpses of Japanese soldiers, poured gasoline on them and burned them.  As for the corpses of their brothers, they were lifted out from among the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and transported to the rear for burial.

    "Master, do you want to continue the attack? The Japs' frontal position is less than three kilometers ahead." Liu Fudong pointed to the Japanese frontal position shrouded in artillery fire in the distance.

    Xia Yang picked up the telescope, observed the remaining main positions of the Japanese army, and then asked: "Have the casualties been counted?"

    Liu Fudong said: "When we came out, we wiped out at least more than 5,000 Japanese troops. We suffered less than 1,000 casualties on our side. We can call it a great victory."

    Xia Yang nodded, and then said: "Gather the troops and we will continue to attack the Japanese main position. If nothing else happens, we will be able to end the battle here tomorrow."

    Liu Fudong responded and began to assemble his troops, repair them, and prepare for the next attack.

    Michutaro Komatsubara sat on the chair at the headquarters, rubbing his temples with his fingers, looking very tired.

    At this time, his staff officer ran over and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, five of our rear positions have been captured. Now less than half of the rear positions are still in our hands."

    "Where is the front position?" Michutaro Komatsubara had already expected the fall of the rear position. After all, so many troops and ammunition were mobilized from the rear, the fall was reasonable.

    "It's okay at the front. Only the position stationed by the 32nd Brigade fell into the hands of the enemy. However, a telegram was sent from Itagaki Division saying that they could no longer support it. The commander of Itagaki Division said that he would lead the Itagaki Division  The last remaining troops will fight the enemy until they die in battle," the staff officer said.

    Hearing this, Komatsubara Michutaro let out a long sigh, and then said: "Order the front positions to withstand the enemy's attack no matter what. I will find a way to delay the time."

    But just after he finished speaking, a soldier hurried over and shouted: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that the enemy has an armored force that is moving in the direction of our headquarters. They will arrive in up to an hour.  We are here."

    Komatsubara Michutaro stood up from his chair, then walked to the military map and said, "What's going on? Our rear position is still there, isn't it?"

    In the end, the staff officer said: "Originally, it took the enemy less than half an hour to knock down the position behind our headquarters. They advanced too fast, and their weapons and equipment  It¡¯s also very sophisticated, and coupled with its elusive tactics, it¡¯s hard for us to defend against it.¡±

    When Michutaro Komatsubara heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head anxiously, and then said loudly: "Deploy troops from the front line immediately, and no matter what, we must resist the enemy's advance."

    The staff officer immediately said: "Yes, I'll go right away."

    At this time, it was not just Michutaro Komatsubara who was panicking, but other staff officers in the headquarters were also panicking.

    Because they never expected that the enemies attacking their rear positions would advance so fast.

    It was only around two o'clock in the afternoon, and they had already advanced to the headquarters, which greatly exceeded Michutaro Komatsubara's expectations.

      He also thought that he could at least last until night, and then took advantage of the night to organize night attacks with troops, seize part of the position, and even rob some of the enemy's ammunition and supplies.

    But what he needs to consider now is how to stop the advance of the armored force.

    This armored force advancing crazily is none other than the Kagel Combat Brigade led by Xia Yang.

    After capturing several rear positions of the Japanese army, Xia Yang did not rush to launch a fierce attack across the entire front. Instead, he directly concentrated his troops and began to attack one of the Japanese positions.

    He wanted to completely penetrate the Japanese army's formation and make their positions completely isolated, with no way to support each other.

    But what Xia Yang didn't know was that the direction he was heading in was less than five kilometers away from the Japanese army's headquarters.

    Xia Yang led the troops and marched on the vast grassland.

    Not far in front of them, Xia Yang had already seen through the telescope the Japanese troops moving back and forth on the gentle slope.

    They were carrying ammunition to the position, and there were many cavalry running back and forth on the position.

    "This line of defense looks like it has just been opened up. There are still many little Japs digging foxholes there." Hu San said to Xia Yang while observing.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "They should be the imps who were temporarily transferred here. Go and observe on the flanks to see how many of these imps there are. If there are not many of them, we can just break through from the front." (Remember this site.  Website: www.hlnovel.com
