    Their troops began to charge against the defensive positions stationed by the Eighth Route Army.

    But what Sakonzhi did not expect was that although the number of people stationed on the flanks on the opposite side was not large, their firepower was fierce.

    ¡°These people not only had fire support provided by the rear, but countless artillery shells fell into the formation of the Japanese charging troops.

    It was like a huge broom sweeping across the ground, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

    Not only that, although there were only two to three hundred people stationed on the Eighth Route Army position in front, their machine gun firepower, mortars and other firepower configurations far exceeded Sakon Shiya's imagination.

    These firepower, which he originally regarded as guerrillas, turned out to be more powerful than the regular army of the Fourth Army.

    This is Li Yunlong¡¯s deliberate arrangement.

    Although the defensive troops he arranged on the side were not many, he assigned them a heavy machine gun company.

    There are more than a dozen heavy machine guns, as well as mortars, rocket launchers, flamethrowers and other weapons.

    With such a firepower deployment, it is very difficult to guard the flanks of a battlefield several hundred meters wide.

    What¡¯s more, they also have fire support from the Fourth Army.

    Sakon Shiya¡¯s eyes became solemn.

    The timing of the battle he mentioned was actually after their troops launched an attack on the enemy.

    After the armored forces on the front are deployed, the Eighth Route Army on the front should be under great offensive pressure.

    In this way, their troops on the flanks can take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack.

    Because of the defense needs of the frontal battlefield, the Eighth Route Army was unable to take into account the defense of flank positions. They could also take advantage of this opportunity to directly break through the enemy's defensive positions on the flanks.

    However, what he did not expect was that the frontal advance was not smooth, and the same was true for their attack on the flanks.

    At this moment, Meijiro Xiangzu called.

    He shouted loudly on the other end of the phone: "How is the situation over there? Has there been any progress?"

    As soon as Sakonzhi heard this, he knew that the positive progress was not good, otherwise, he would not have made this call to himself.

    He put the phone to his ear and waited until Meijiro Xiangzu finished speaking before he replied: "The situation on our side is not very good. The enemy's troops stationed are indeed not too many, but their firepower is too fierce. It is stronger than we previously expected."  several times more violent.

    It is almost impossible for our people to break through the enemy's defense line here in a short period of time.

    "If we have armored troops to support this side, it is possible, but it is only possible.  "

    Hearing these words, Xiangzu Meijiro realized that all their previous battle plans were probably guessed by the enemy.

    Or maybe the enemy has guessed certain possibilities, and they are fully prepared to deal with any attacks they may carry out.

    Now, their biggest offensive on the front has been defused by the intensive artillery fire of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army and a large number of anti-tank guns.

    If they want to launch another attack, they can only rely on their infantry units.

    But, can these infantry units really break through the enemy's frontal defense line?

    In fact, even without thinking about it, he can easily come to a very reasonable conclusion.

    That is, the enemy will not give up the defense line no matter what. The firepower deployed on the enemy's defense line, even if their frontal strength is doubled, will not be able to break through the enemy's defense line.

    Here, their fighting style has actually degenerated to the trench warfare of the First World War.

    However, compared to the trench warfare of Western countries during World War I, they also had many armored vehicles and tanks this time to affect the battle situation.

    However, it now seems that their tanks and armored vehicles have less impact on the enemy's defense line than the German blitzkrieg has on the Maginot direction.

    Their armored units were withdrawn to the rear for a temporary rest. Even Xiangzu Yoshijiro was very clearly aware at this time that their frontal attack was almost impossible.

    What they have to do now is no longer thinking about how to defeat the enemy head-on, but how to hold on to their position.

    It doesn¡¯t matter, as long as we delay the time, even if we can¡¯t defeat your troops from the front, we just need to hold on to our position.

    Wait until my armored vehicles and tanksArrive, wait until more of our troops are deployed here, and wait until our local troops land in your rear area, that's when we start to counterattack.

    ??Xiangzu Meijiro was thinking in his heart, looking at the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, his eyes became more determined.

    He can now be sure that the victory in this battle will belong to them.

    He even couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Xia Yang would have on his face when he learned that their rear was under attack.

    Thinking of this, Meijiro Xiangzu felt a little more relaxed.

    No matter what, the top priority now is to deal with the enemies who are still digging in, or to use the first line of defense to confront the enemy's charging troops head-on.

    No matter which method he uses, he has enough confidence to block the enemy's attack from the front.

    The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, as well as their charging troops, once again returned to their positions under the fierce bombardment of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.

    The troops of the Eighth Route Army digging trenches will not stop their actions just because of their charge.

    On the contrary, they once again began to dig their trenches on the battlefield that had been bombarded with hundreds of holes.

    With more craters, it saves them more energy.

    Wearing gas masks, carrying shovels and detonators, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army moved forward again, digging along their trenches.

    The Japanese troops on the opposite side saw these Eighth Route Army troops and immediately began to fire at them.

    But their suppression in terms of firepower is more like a routine.

    They also knew that if they opened fire, they would not cause much damage to the Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding in the trenches.

    But if they don¡¯t shoot, they are the enemy after all. They can¡¯t just watch the enemy advance towards their position without making any reaction.

    The gunfire from the Japanese army was somewhat sparse. Only the Japanese machine gunners were firing at the Eighth Route Army.

    This will not have much impact on the advancement of the Eighth Route Army. On the contrary, the constant gunshots make the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army more clearly aware that they are now on the battlefield.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
