    The Japanese army¡¯s first attack only lasted less than 12 minutes, and was then repulsed by the defenders. When the Japanese army withdrew from the front-line positions, only more than a hundred corpses were left behind.

    After watching the entire attack through a telescope, Fuji Imiyoshi said with surprise to the officers around him: "How is this possible? Those firepower points are actually fortifications made of reinforced concrete. Where did that person get so many support?"  steel and cement?¡±

    Then Colonel Fuji continued: "Aoki-kun, please go down and check. What is the specific number of the army on the opposite side and who is the commander?"

    Chief of Staff Major Tsuna Yamamoto immediately said: "Report to the commander, the troops on the opposite side should belong to the Eighth Brigade of the Seventh Division, but we don't know exactly which regiment it is. So far, the Special High School has not found out.  I don¡¯t know how many troops there are in this Temporary Seventh Division, and I don¡¯t know the numbers of the regiments under each infantry brigade.¡±

    "What about the other party's commander's information? How much do we know?"

    "Sorry sir, except for the division commander and deputy division commander of the 7th Division, we know nothing about the other officers. Not to mention the regiment-level military control opposite, we know very little about even the brigade-level officers!  "The chief of staff replied in a deep voice.

    Colonel Fuji Imiyoshi said angrily: "Baga, what do special high-tech people do for food? They are just a bunch of losers."

    ¡°But he also knew that his anger with Major Aoki was just self-catharsis and would not be of any substantial help to the frontline battle.

    After thinking for a while, Colonel Fuji then ordered: "Order the First Battalion to take over the Third Squadron and serve as the main attack. Tell Yamamoto to show the courage of the Ninth Division. Your Excellency, the brigade commander and I are watching from behind.  Follow them, and also order the artillery to provide fire support for the Yamamoto Battalion!"

    "Hai!"

    After a while, Yamamoto Tsuna came over and reported: "Reporting to the commander, the First Battalion is ready and ready to attack at any time."

    "Youxi, order them to attack immediately!"

    "Hai!"

    With the order of Colonel Fuji, the Japanese attack began again!

    As always, there was another artillery bombardment. Since the Japanese did not retreat too far this time, Gao Hu did not dare to withdraw all his troops. There was still a company of troops left on the position to prevent the Japanese from suddenly rushing into the position.

    However, what Gao Hu didn't expect was that the Japs might have learned their previous lessons, and the bombardment lasted about twice as long as before, reaching more than twenty minutes.

    After the bombardment, the infantry company remaining on the position was almost wiped out. When the main force once again entered the front-line position, it was discovered that there were less than 30 people alive in a 140-man infantry company, and almost everyone was injured. This made Gao Hu  The others are heartbroken.

    You must know that the troops in his hands are one of the two regiments with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Du8 Brigade. Although the Du8 Brigade has been strengthened to have a total strength of more than 10,000 people, it can actually fight only about 5,000 people. The remaining  All they laid were eggs for new recruits.

    As a front-line commander, Gao Hu knows the value of veterans on the battlefield. Sometimes the value of a veteran with rich combat experience is much higher than ten recruits, and can even equal a platoon.

    Now that he had lost more than 110 veterans all at once, it really made him heartbroken, but Gao Hu quickly recovered because he knew that this was war.

    As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the Japanese infantry followed the unique pace of the Japanese Army and launched another wave-like attack on the defending positions.

    As the Japanese army gradually approached the front-line positions, the soldiers loaded their bullets one after another, then took aim and fired, pointing their guns at the little Japs, waiting for the Japs soldiers to come and die.

    Yamamoto Tsuna, the captain of the 35th Regiment's First Battalion, is different from ordinary Japanese commanders. He was not born in a major, nor did he go to mainland China for further studies. He is an officer who has climbed up from the bottom, even though he is only a major captain.  But this is already a miracle in the Japanese Army.

    Unlike the Chinese army, which has the habit of promoting meritorious soldiers to become officers, the Japanese army, which has a mature mechanism for training officers, rarely promotes soldiers as officers. They believe that soldiers will always be consumables, and their vision and structure have destined them to be unable to succeed.  Competent for the task of combat command.

    Because of this, there are very few officers in the Japanese army who have climbed up from the bottom, and the more senior officers are, the more so.

    For example, the Japanese army now has two commanders in North China and Central China. The commander of the North China Front, General Juichi Terauchi, comes from a wealthy family in the Japanese army. His father is Field Marshal Masaki Terauchi. The commander of the Central China Front, Yan Shunroku, also has an extraordinary background. Hata Shunroku  His elder brother, Mrs. Hataide??Although he died earlier, his military career was equally brilliant, and he died of illness while serving as the commander of the Kwantung Army before the "September 18 Incident" with the dignity of an army general.

    It can be seen how difficult it is to be promoted in the Japanese Army, but even so there are exceptions, and Major Yamamoto is one of them.

    Even though Yamamoto has not received orthodox military education, his tactical literacy is very high. By watching the exploratory attack of the third squadron just now, he discovered several very important situations, that is, the defenders have strong fortifications.  It can even restrain the imperial army's artillery fire to a large extent.

    Secondly, the opponent has snipers who specialize in killing the officers and technical arms of the Imperial Army on the battlefield. Just now, the squadron leader and three machine gunners of the third squadron were killed by the opponent's snipers, and several other throwers  The death of the cannon hand also seemed to be related to the opponent's sniper, but because the situation on the battlefield was a bit chaotic, Yamamoto was not sure about this.

    But it is almost certain that the Chinese defenders on the opposite side have a large number of snipers. If you want to capture the opposite position, you must restrain those snipers.

    Therefore, before the troops attacked, Yamamoto Tsuna asked all the officers to put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers and also wear 38 caps. Even the command knife, which was a symbol of the identity of the Japanese commander, was not allowed to be carried.

    At the same time, more than 30 special shooters with excellent shooting skills were mobilized from the brigade headquarters, specifically to deal with Chinese snipers on the battlefield. Once they see suspected targets, they will be shot immediately.

    With the adjustment of Major Yamamoto, the snipers of the Second Regiment of the Du8 Brigade were dumbfounded. The little Japs in front of them were all yellow, and they couldn't tell which one was the officer and which one was the soldier.

    Gao Hu and others were also taken aback. Apparently they had encountered a master. In desperation, they had to order the snipers to turn their attention to the technical arms of the Japanese army!

    Since the range of the sniper rifle equipped by the sniper is longer than that of the ordinary 38-meter rifle, the sniper opened fire as soon as the Japanese army entered a distance of more than 300 meters in front of the defender's position.

    For a time, the Japanese machine gunners, flag bearers, and grenade launchers all became the focus of snipers. The Japanese soldiers rushing in front were often killed by Chinese snipers in front of their positions.

    However, the little devils are not vegetarians. The special shooters selected by Yamamoto Tsuna are the first-class elites in the Japanese army. Although they have not received formal sniper training, their shooting skills are not inferior at all.  Real sniper.

    After seeing the snipers on the defenders¡¯ positions constantly firing at their technical units, these Japanese special-grade shooters immediately began to fight back.

    With the counterattack of these Japanese special shooters, the snipers on the defender's position suddenly suffered casualties, and the momentum was faintly suppressed by the Japanese special shooters.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
