    The Japanese attack was crazy. This was their only way out, so they charged desperately.  They didn't care about their formation or coordination. The soldiers of the 30th Brigade almost charged forward completely withstanding the firepower of the heavy machine guns, without even lying down.

    Human beings¡¯ strong desire to escape, coupled with the resilience of these veterans who have experienced war for a long time, make them even more terrifying at this time.

    No matter how crazy you are, human flesh and blood cannot withstand bullets after all.

    Under the fierce fire from the Gatling heavy machine gun, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were piled up on the ground.

    On their position, the Gatling heavy machine gun has fired thousands of bullets continuously, and the base of the six barrels has turned red due to the continuous shooting.

    But the machine gunners who controlled the Gatlings could not stop because of this, because as long as the Gatlings on both sides stopped, the Japs would be able to rush to their positions in a few minutes at most.

    "Snow, cover it with snow and cool down the barrel. Hurry." It was too late to replace the barrel at this time, and they could only choose to use the snow on the ground to cool down.

    A handful of snow fell directly on the barrel of the heavy machine gun, and it immediately made a "sizzling" sound, as if something had fallen into a frying pan.  Because of the high temperature of the gun barrel, the white snow turned into water almost instantly, then evaporated into steam, and a burst of white smoke came out.

    But the Japanese troops are still getting closer. There are too many of them, and the attack width is relatively large. Just two types of Gatling weapons, plus dozens of rifles, cannot stop the advance of these Japanese troops.

    At this time, the positions of several companies on the flanks all hit the machine gun fire here, fiercely attacking the Japanese flanks.

    The Japanese offensive suddenly came to a halt, but this was still not enough to stop them. Under the fierce heavy machine gun fire, the crazy Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and moved forward without stopping at all.

    But at this time, the combat battalion sent to support finally rushed over.  They entered the positions of the 246th and 248th companies directly on the ridge.

    After these soldiers entered their position, they immediately set up their light and heavy machine guns.  At this time, the Japanese army had already rushed to a position only more than ten meters away from the position.

    ¡°Be careful with grenades!!!¡±

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    The grenades thrown by the Japanese army exploded on their position.  The additional heavy machine guns began to roar at this time. The bullets of the heavy machine guns penetrated the smoke of the Japanese grenade explosion and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers.

    In fact, the heavy machine gunners couldn't even see the Japanese troops, so they just fired at the front.  Behind the smoke, the screams of the Japanese soldiers could be heard, as well as the muffled sound of bullets entering the human body.

    "The little devil is coming up, push back." A veteran shouted, and the bayonet in his hand thrust forward. A Japanese soldier who wanted to rush forward was directly stabbed through the chest by him.

    Some Japanese soldiers jumped into the position under the cover of grenades.  But because the number was too small, they were often directly stabbed to death or shot to death before they could do anything.

    The fighting on the battlefield was extremely fierce, and the Japanese army's rear was miserable.  The cavalry regiment has been attacking continuously for half an hour, turning the rear of the 30th Brigade upside down.  Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were trampled to death by war horses or hacked to death with sabers.  There were many injured people wailing on the ground, but no one had the time to care about them.

    Because he was blocked by Japanese heavy machine guns, Zheng Fei ordered his cavalry to go to the high ground on both sides to stop pursuing the Japanese army.

    The Japanese army¡¯s thousands-strong force at the rear was still fighting with Chen Shiliang¡¯s troops.  Thousands of people fought hand-to-hand, making the entire battlefield look like a Shura field.

    Their fighting lasted for a full hour before the Japanese army began to retreat and desperately fled to the rear. Then, many of them were killed by machine gun positions on the highlands on both sides of the road.

    In the place where the melee just broke out, the Japanese army left six to seven hundred corpses, including many corpses of Eighth Route Army and Fourth Division soldiers.  However, because of their overwhelming numerical advantage, their casualties were much less than those of the Japanese army.

    Chen Shiliang and his troops did not stop after completing this fighting. Except for some who stayed to take care of the wounded, other soldiers continued to pursue the Japanese army.  Even many soldiers with minor injuries were simply bandaged and then followed the troops to fight.The army continued to pursue.

    On the high ground at the entrance of the valley, corpses have been piled up.  If it weren't for the two battalions deployed in time, they might not have been able to withstand the first round of Japanese attacks.

    The Japanese army¡¯s desperate charge and fire suppression cost them a lot of casualties.  However, the casualties of the Japanese army were even greater. On the land in front of the position, the corpses of Japanese soldiers and war horses could be seen everywhere.  These corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the blood flowing out dyed the snow beneath them red, and then was condensed by the low temperature.

    On the other side of Xiongfeng Ridge, the Japanese 114th Division was ready for a night attack.

    They almost never stopped attacking during the day. Several regiments took turns attacking, constantly consuming the ammunition, physical strength and energy of the Independent Regiment and several other regiments.

    "How are the preparations going?" asked Shigeshi Suematsu, the division commander of the 114th Division.

    His chief of staff, Saburo Isoda, said: "Everything is ready. The enemy's position is very quiet now. We have soldiers follow the craters left on the hillside during the day and the corpses as cover, and have begun to approach the enemy's position little by little.  ¡±

    "Did they notice it?" Suematsu Shigeshi asked.

    "Not yet. The Chinese fought for most of the day and must be very tired at this time." Isoda Saburo said confidently.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
