    No matter how powerful the grenade is, it is only a light mortar after all. It is difficult to compete with the large-caliber infantry artillery in terms of range and power!

    As Li Guoyao¡¯s artillery counterattacked, the Japanese grenadiers were knocked out one after another, resulting in extremely heavy losses.

    However, for Higuchi Kiichiro, Katayama Riichiro and others who were watching the battle from behind, it no longer mattered whether the grenade launcher was dead or alive. Anyway, their mission had been completed. The meaning of those people's existence was to deal with the national army on the front line.  Firepower points create conditions for infantry charges.

    Now two-thirds of the light and heavy machine guns on the national army's position have been blown into scrap metal, the firepower has been greatly weakened, and the infantry has rushed to a distance of tens of meters in front of the defender's position. Even if the grenade launchers are in the entire army,  The destruction was worth it.

    At this time, the Japanese troops on the front line have launched their final charge. There are only a few dozen meters away. If you rush over, you will win!

    However, just when the little devil rushed less than thirty meters in front of the defenders' position, he heard a sudden "rumbling" sound from the Japanese Type 95 light tanks rushing at the front. One of the tanks  It was blown upside down and its tracks were broken into several sections.

    At the same time, the Japanese soldiers who coordinated the attack also won prizes one after another, and they were blown away and turned upside down!

    "Baga, it's a mine field!"

    "Bagaya Road, the guy has set up a minefield in front of it, everyone, be careful!"

    "That person is very cunning, everyone, be careful and watch your steps"

    The Japanese troops on the front line were immediately stunned by the unexpected landmine explosion. Each one of them looked panicked, like headless flies, and was in a dilemma.

    "Bagaya Road is only thirty meters away. Rush forward, quickly!" Osaku Muto, captain of the 68th Regiment of the Japanese Army who was supervising the battle behind, roared angrily.

    The Japanese army is a group that pays great attention to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Following the order of Colonel Muto, the remaining more than a thousand Japanese soldiers went crazy, not afraid of the landmines under their feet, and rushed towards the forward garrison positions.

    The craziness of the little devil really shocked the defenders. You must know that there are dense minefields under these people. In almost every unit, someone will step on the mines and be killed or injured.

    However, these Japanese soldiers seemed not to know, and their madness was frightening!

    Even Li Guoyao was frightened by the kid's madness. He had heard before that the kid was not afraid of death when fighting, and was cruel and inhumane. There seemed to be nothing on the battlefield that the little Japanese did not dare to do.

    But this was the first time Li Guoyao had seen such a lifeless charge!

    "However, Li Guoyao was not afraid. No matter how unafraid of death, the little devil was still made of flesh and blood. He had just ordered a large number of light and heavy machine guns to be sent to the front line, and it was time to arrive.

    Sure enough, just as the little devils were charging madly, light and heavy machine guns were set up on the defender's position.

    Then, under the order of the garrison commander, these light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time!

    In an instant, there was loud gunfire on the defenders' position, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns continued to spray angry bullets at the swarming Japanese soldiers!

    Caught off guard, the little devil was hit by the oncoming bullets and was thrown into pieces, causing numerous casualties.

    The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes with a distance of tens of meters. In the end, the little devil couldn't bear the huge casualties and chose to retreat!

    This attack lasted for more than an hour. As a result, the Japanese army suffered more than 1,500 casualties and left all their tanks on the position, but they still failed to capture the defending position.

    The sun sets over the western mountains, and the setting sun outside Shuangjian Town is like blood.

    After a whole day of fighting, the Japanese army finally saw the power of Li Guoyao's troops. Although the Japanese troops on the front line fought bravely, they managed to organize 6 attacks in one day.

    But without exception, they were all repulsed by Li Guoyao's troops. Not only did the Japanese troops suffer heavy losses, they failed to capture the defenders' positions.

    The atmosphere in the Japanese enemy's headquarters was depressing and solemn. Looking at Colonel Muto who was missing an arm, all the officers felt uncomfortable.

    During the last attack, Colonel Muto personally commanded the troops, but was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun on the defender's position.

    Although it missed the vital point, it smashed one of his arms to pieces, and Colonel Muto became a one-armed colonel.

    Even if an injury like his is healed, he will not be allowed to stay in the frontline troops. Firstly, the missing arm will affect the combat effectiveness, and secondly, it will damage the heroic and invincible image of the imperial army.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??, after this battle is over, Colonel Muto may be transferred back to the country as a reserve, and eventually serve as a deputy in a Qingshui Yamen, or even be transferred to Lu Shi as a military instructor, and his life will be over.

    Although everyone sympathized with him, no one said anything. After all, there were many people who were more miserable than Colonel Muto today. Three of the four majors under the 68th Regiment were killed, and as many as 21 lieutenants were killed.  In comparison, Colonel Muto only lost an arm.

    And in the eyes of many people, it may not be a bad thing that Osaka Muto lost his arm. You must know that in just one day, his 68th Regiment was almost completely wiped out, and more than 3,200 people were killed.  Four, 1,500 were injured, and less than 300 were able to fight.

    Such heavy casualties cannot be concealed at all, and the higher authorities must be held accountable. As the commander of the 68th Regiment, Colonel Muto will bear the brunt.

    But now that Colonel Muto himself has lost an arm, the higher-ups should understand that it¡¯s not that the 68th Regiment is incompetent in combat effectiveness, nor is it that Colonel Muto¡¯s command is not good enough, nor is it that the frontline soldiers are not brave enough, but that the opponent is too powerful.

    Even for the sake of the broken arm, the base camp would not embarrass Colonel Muto.

    "Muto-kun, what are the casualties of your unit?"

    Today¡¯s battle, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro has been supervising the battle from behind. From a tactical level alone, the 68th Wing¡¯s performance was pretty good, and Colonel Muto¡¯s command did not make any mistakes.

    To be honest, this kind of formation would be the same even if it were replaced by someone else. It might not be any better than Osaka Muto!

    But even so, the Imperial Japanese Army was still defeated, completely defeated, which made Higuchi Kiichiro and others feel depressed.

    "Your Excellency, the division commander, our division has suffered heavy losses, with 1,458 people killed and 1,519 injured! The casualty rate is as high as 90%!" Colonel Muto said with a trembling voice.

    "His"

    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but take a breath. Everyone knew that today¡¯s battle between the Muto Brigade was very brutal, but they didn¡¯t expect that the casualties would be so heavy.

    The 68th Regiment is the elite of the Third Division. From soldiers to officers, they are all veterans with rich combat experience. To be beaten like this is indeed a bit beyond the expectations of the Japanese generals on the front line.

    The 68th Regiment is considered disabled. Even if it can be replenished with a complete organization in the future, its combat effectiveness will still drop by one or two levels!

    The person with the most complicated mood at this time is Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro. Although all the casualties today were soldiers of the 3rd Division, the losses of their 9th Division were not large.

    ¡°But as the highest commander of the Japanese army¡¯s former enemy headquarters, he lost 3,000 men in just one day. How could he still fight this battle?

    You must know that their total strength was only seven or eight thousand people, and they lost 3,000 people in one fell swoop, accounting for almost more than one-third of the Japanese troops on the front line.  ,

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The enemy's position has hardly suffered much loss. This battle is really difficult to win.  If this continues, let alone thousands of people, even tens of thousands of imperial troops will not be enough to consume.

    For a moment, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro fell into deep thought!

    ps: July is coming to an end. I wish everyone is sunny and well in the new August. I wish you all a warm winter and a warm spring. I wish you have lights when it gets dark and umbrellas when it rains.  May everyone be accompanied by loved ones on the road, and may everyone be happy without pretending.

    At the beginning of this month, the author Jun was invited to accompany the great masters of the Chinese Internet Writers Village to the eastern grasslands of Inner Mongolia to collect wind. In the middle of the month, he contracted infectious pneumonia. He has not recovered yet, which directly led to the failure of this month's updates. Only 100,000 words of new books were updated in a month.  .

    I hope it will be strong again in August. See you in August!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
