    Seeing that they were less than 100 meters away from the defenders' trenches, both Major Takeda Shoji, the Japanese captain who was commanding the battle from the front, and Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuichi who was watching the battle from behind, were extremely excited and full of expectations.

    They are very superstitious about the hand-to-hand combat capabilities of their troops. They always believe that as long as they rush into the trenches, they can defeat the Chinese army. There are even many officers who believe that as long as they rush into the trenches of the defenders, the opponent will collapse instantly.

    In view of this, Major Takeda Shoji waved his command sword, roared and ordered his troops to charge quickly and rush into the defenders' position at all costs.

    However, at such a close distance, even the new recruits could easily hit the target. In less than a minute, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing in front were killed and injured.

    But even so, the little devil still had no intention of stopping and rushed towards the front line trenches like crazy.

    Shoji Takeda knew very well that the only way to conquer such a mountain defense line was to rush into the trenches and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders. This was their only chance.  No matter how many people were killed or injured during the charge, he had to bear it!

    However, what Takeda Shoji didn¡¯t expect was that when they rushed less than fifty meters in front of the defenders¡¯ trench, the Chinese army on the opposite position stopped blocking, and the battlefield suddenly became quiet!

    "Nani?"

    "Major Takeda is a little confused. Logically speaking, the closer you get to the defender's position, the more intense the opponent's counterattack will be. Why did the opponent stop attacking at this position? Could it be that one/that army escaped?

    It is very possible that the support/that person believed that they could not defeat the Japanese Imperial Army in hand-to-hand combat, so they saw that the Imperial Army was about to rush into the front-line trenches, so they evacuated here urgently. This is entirely possible.

    Thinking of this, Major Takeda hurriedly shouted: "That man escaped, Susumi!"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????is already within the effective range of the rifle machine gun, why doesn¡¯t the gun/man not fight back?

    Hearing what Major Takeda said, all the Japanese soldiers were excited. This hard-to-gnaw bone was finally taken down, and it was taken down by his Takeda brigade. The division commander should express his gratitude to them when they return this time.  !

    At the same time, on the garrison position, Liu Weizhou unscrewed the back cover of the grenade and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, take out all the grenades for me. Throw all the grenades out within two minutes. Get ready!"

    Just when they were within 40 meters of the defender's position, suddenly, a large number of iron lumps flew out from the defender's position!

    This iron grenade is the most familiar to Major Takeda. It is the most common long-handled grenade in this army.

    All Japanese officers and soldiers, including Major Takeda, were extremely afraid of this grenade, which was completely different from the melon-style grenade of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    The prototype of this grenade is the m24 grenade invented by Germany during World War I. Because it has a long wooden handle, it can be thrown farther and looks very unique when held in the hand, plus the cost  It is relatively low, so it is widely used in the military by many countries.

    On the Chinese battlefield, this unique grenade was copied on a large scale and used in the Anti-Japanese War. With the development of heroic Chinese soldiers, this long-handled grenade can not only be used for throwing, but also can be bundled into  Cluster grenade can be used to blow up fortifications or tanks, and the effect is very good.

    In many cases, the wooden handle can even be removed and replaced with a mine detonator, so that it can be used as a mine.

    "Baga, it's a grenade, get down!" Major Takeda roared and quickly fell to the ground.

    The grenades covered the sky and the sun. In just two minutes, at least more than a thousand grenades fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

    Under the crazy attack of such dense grenades, the formation of the little devils was instantly thrown into chaos. A large number of soldiers were killed and injured, and the remaining survivors were all frightened out of their courage.

    At the same time, the defenders seized the opportunity to counterattack, killing the little Japanese soldiers who fell on their backs, and soon the Japanese soldiers were repelled.

    This time, the Japs dispatched more than 700 people, but in the end, less than 200 people were withdrawn, and about 500 people were killed or injured. The entire brigade basically collapsed!

    Behind the Japanese army's position, Major Takeda looked at the troops with less than 200 people around him, and felt chilled. A group of more than 700 people had only a few remnants to charge and was defeated. Such a loss could not even lead to him.  Veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years are shocked.

    More importantly, the battle just nowAt that time, His Excellency the division commander was watching the battle from behind. Thinking of the performance of his troops, Major Takeda couldn't help but feel despair.

    "What Major Takeda didn't know was that he was not the only one who was desperate. A large number of Japanese commanders, including Shizuichi Tanaka, also felt desperate.

    This was only the first day of the attack. As a result, in less than six hours, their standard infantry group of 1,000 people was beaten to less than 200 people, which was considered disabled.

    Calculated in this way, their 13th Division only has a total of 12 infantry brigades. If they continue to fight at today's casualty rate, their entire division will be consumed in this small army within ten days at most.  On the top of the mountain.

    Like a gambler who lost his sight, Tanaka Shizuichi stared at the garrison position opposite and said angrily: "Baga, immediately order the 116th Regiment to reorganize their troops and launch an attack!!"

    "Hai!"

    "Order the artillery to provide continuous fire support!"

    "Hai!"

    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    There was another fierce shelling. Hundreds of artillery shells fell on the defender's position. The entire position was shrouded in flames of war, with sandbags, ammunition boxes and other miscellaneous items. Even the bodies of the dead were blown around by the artillery fire

    In the next week, artillery fire rumbled all day and night on the Fujinshan and Gushi front lines.

    After a week of bloody fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but they still failed to capture the Fujinshan position stationed by the 71st Army.

    When the news came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

    Songbu. Headquarters of the 5th Theater Command.

    After reading the telegram sent by the 71st Army, Bai Chongxi took a long breath, and finally there was sunshine on his face that had been clouded for days.

    After the Battle of Xuzhou, his old partner was jealous of him because he won a great victory in Taierzhuang. After the war, he laid down his military power and returned to Wuhan. The name was to recuperate, but in fact it was to avoid suspicion.

    After Lao Li returned to Wuhan, Bai Chongxi took over his position as commander-in-chief of the fifth theater. However, at this time, he was not the real commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, only an acting commander.

    Although Bai Chongxi had expected that the Japs might attack the Dabie Mountains and move westward, and then roundabout and besiege Wuhan City, he did not expect that the Japs' attack would be so sharp.

    In just over a month of fighting from the end of August to now, his troops have already reached the front line of Gushi. And because he did not understand the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, huge defensive loopholes appeared in the rear defense, which is really shocking.  in a hurry.

    Fortunately, at the critical moment, Sun Lianzhong's troops turned the tide and used tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers to face the siege of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops, buying time for the mobilization of various troops.

    Within a week, under the mobilization of the Chief of the Fifth War Zone, Zhang's army safely took root in Huangchuan, while Hu Zongnan's army left Xinyang eastward and built a third position on the Luoshan and Fujing lines.

    In this way, the crisis in the 5th theater finally passed without any danger. To be honest, this crisis was caused by Bai Chongxi's miscalculation. Everyone was happy to be able to avoid it under such circumstances.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
