This blocking position is very simple. It simply connects bomb craters to block the impact of the Fourth Army troops.
Opposite them, the joint pursuit force composed of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was not in a hurry to pursue the Japanese army.
On the contrary, they were leisurely preparing for the bombardment at this time, gathering all the mortars, small-caliber mountain artillery, and even flat-firing artillery they carried.
According to Kong Jie¡¯s idea, they would bombard the Japanese troops in front of them for at least twenty minutes until their crude position was completely destroyed, and then organize their troops to charge.
In this way, casualties can be minimized while also increasing the speed of their attack.
The Japanese brigade commander responsible for commanding the rear line of defense used binoculars to look at the artillery pieces and mortars that were set up in front of them.
The enemy's artillery scouts were not idle at this time. Instead, they moved little by little toward their positions, using various observation equipment to measure the firepower points on their defensive positions.
"Inform the soldiers and tell them to look for a good hiding place for a while. The enemy plans to launch a violent bombardment of our army, and we must hold on."
As he was saying this, the roar of aircraft engines came from their side.
An air formation consisting of thirty bombers and thirty fighter jets was flying towards them.
"It's the enemy's bombing force, be careful to stay hidden!!!"
The Japanese brigade commander ultimately underestimated the firepower organized by the four armies.
They not only used artillery bombing, but also dispatched a large number of bombers and fighter jets to kill and destroy Japanese positions.
Such a terrifying scene made those Japanese soldiers who had been repeatedly bombed by bombers of the Fourth Army subconsciously tighten their nerves.
As they ran over, the enemy's infantry units may have been at a distance from them, but their air units were always following them.
The air forces of the Fourth Army will bomb the Japanese troops even at night.
Along the way, the number of people they were killed by the air forces of the Fourth Army ranged from not one thousand to eight hundred.
As for the Japanese soldiers injured by incendiary bombs and other weapons, there are countless more.
The key is that the bombers and fighter jets hovering above their heads caused great psychological pressure on these Japanese soldiers.
¡°Boom boom!!!¡±
A loud noise was heard, and mortars and mountain artillery from the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army began to bombard the Japanese positions.
In less than ten minutes, the Japanese defensive position was bombarded by at least thousands of artillery shells.
At the same time that their bombing was carried out, the air forces of the Fourth Army also began to carry out violent bombing against the Japanese army in accordance with the instructions on the ground.
¡°Boom!!!!¡±
The roaring sound of aerial bombs is like rolling thunder, which makes people shudder when they hear it.
Many of the Japanese soldiers stationed here had no place to hide.
The moment the shells fell, their bodies were torn into pieces by the shock waves coming from all around.
In addition, incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, etc. thrown from the sky have also become a nightmare for these Japanese soldiers.
Because of the high-explosive bombs, they could temporarily hide in the crater and avoid the impact of the shock wave on them, but the napalm bombs and incendiary bombs falling overhead left them nowhere to hide.
Even if they are hiding in tunnels or craters, the flames that spread to the surroundings will be like evil dragons, completely devouring them and then turning them into charcoal.
These Japanese soldiers are experiencing a hellish scene.
What made them even more desperate was that such bombing and shelling lasted for more than twenty minutes.
After the round of bombing was over, Kong Jie shouted: "Go!!!"
At his order, the soldiers, who had been ready to go, immediately formed a joint attack team and launched an attack on the Japanese positions.
At this time, the remaining Japanese troops on the ground began to crawl out of the tunnel.
They looked around and saw that there were corpses everywhere and human body tissue everywhere, torn apart by bombs and thrown aside.
As for their commander, these Japanese soldiers have been unable to be found.
Even the comrades beside them, because their faces were covered with dust,Already unrecognizable.
¡°Samurai of the Empire of Japan, you are immortal, stand up and resist the enemy¡¯s attack!!!¡±
The Japanese brigade commander shouted and pulled out the command knife from his waist.
At this time, his face was covered with dust, and beside him were piles of corpses.
Such a horrific scene was the first time he had seen it since he joined the war.
What he couldn't forget was that this scene did not happen on the enemy's position, but on his own position.
"kill!!"
The remaining Japanese soldiers crawled out from the pile of corpses with difficulty.
One after another, the Japanese soldiers began to try to rush towards the position in the smoke.
But when they arrived there, they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and saw countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army, charging toward them with rifles and military flags in their hands.
They were so numerous that they were almost overwhelming, like a wave or a tsunami, rushing towards the Japanese defensive positions.
Seeing such a scene, the remaining Japanese soldiers even forgot to pull the trigger. They just stood there, staring at the surging enemies in front of them, and collapsed on the ground again.
"Pick up your rifles and start shooting!!!"
The Japanese commander shouted and fired towards the front.
But he had just fired a few shots when he was shot into pieces by flying bullets.
As for the Japanese soldiers around him, although they were also shooting, their defense system had been completely destroyed by the fierce bombing just now.
Relying only on the remaining Japanese soldiers and the Ersanba Gaier in their hands, it is almost impossible to stop such a fierce offensive.
"kill!!!"
Amidst the roar, the advance troops led by Kong Jie have already rushed to the Japanese position.
They engaged in fierce and bloody hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.
The remaining Japanese troops were almost unable to withstand such a fierce attack.
Their resistance is as ridiculous as an extremely fragile and riddled dam trying to block a menacing flood.
The Japanese brigade commander rushed forward with his guard troops.
At the same time, his correspondent sent the last telegram to Konoha Qingming in the rear through the telegraph machine. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
