I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 702: The Death Knell for the Invaders

The Chinese army's artillery also fired, as if sounding the death knell for the invaders.

It opened the door to the Nine Netherworld for the Japanese devils.

First, hundreds of mortars opened fire, followed by the fifty Type 92 infantry guns.

They began saturation bombing one hundred meters in front of the Kuomintang position.

Within a minute, they managed to create a no-man's land two kilometers long and two hundred meters deep.

This was to prevent the Japanese suicide squad from launching a "human bomb" attack on the Nationalist troops in the first trench.

This time the tactical arrangement was very successful, and the results were visible one minute after the bombardment.

In the area 300 meters in front of the National Army’s position, there were no Japanese soldiers who could be seen standing.

The few Japanese soldiers who had rushed over earlier were also mowed down by the heavy machine guns.

The remaining Japanese soldiers who were injured by the Kuomintang artillery shells all became living targets for the first row of soldiers to practice shooting.

Don't say anything. Those being killed now are all wounded Japanese soldiers. This violates some treaty.

Anyone who has not laid down their weapons is a combat-capable devil and will be killed without mercy.

As for the small group of devils who wanted to surrender...

How could the Japanese on the Japanese island surrender? There were observers from the militia division in the Kuomintang positions.

Under their command, no Japanese dares to touch the white stuff, and the outcome will be the same.

Because they would at least attract concentrated fire from a squad of Kuomintang soldiers.

Could there be any Japanese soldiers shouting that they want to surrender? That is even more impossible.

Because our soldiers couldn't understand the Japanese language.

You were yelling at us, and I thought you were yelling at me, so I concentrated my fire and shot at you.

As for the devils who could shout "surrender" in Mandarin...

Observer: “How could you possibly hear what the Japs are shouting over there?

Your ears are almost deafened by the explosion, you can't hear a thing."

Commander Sun also saw it through the telescope. He asked worriedly, "If there are no prisoners, will there be any trouble?"

Major Fan: "This is what our Ninth Theater Commander-in-Chief admires most about the Japanese Anan.

This man was good at commanding his troops and was extremely strict with his subordinates. All the Japanese troops he trained fought to the death and refused to surrender.

Occasionally there were seriously injured people who either detonated grenades or committed suicide by chewing their tongues.

Some people with violent personalities even poke their eye sockets in an attempt to destroy their own brains in order to find relief.

The commander of the Ninth War Zone once said that Anan was both his enemy and his most admired opponent.

Commander Li of the 19th Army looked at Major Fan from the militia division.

He waited until he finished reading the words in the small notebook in his hand before closing it.

He quietly put it back into his pocket, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Commander Li then said angrily: "The commander of the theater has already set the tone, why didn't you say so earlier?"

His action caused the other three army commanders to laugh.

The previous bombardment was just an appetizer.

After all, there were not many Japanese devils in the initial shelling area.

Basically, they were fighting to protect the national army in the trenches, and they were also fighting against the Japanese suicide squads.

The subsequent heavy artillery bombardment by the National Army was the focus of today's shelling.

Japanese Type 41 75mm mountain gun and Type 95 75mm field gun.

There are also various models of 75mm caliber artillery imported from various countries.

There are various types of mountain cannons, field cannons, and howitzers made in France, Italy, and Germany.

In short, it can be reached from 6,400 meters to more than 10,000 meters.

They fired artillery shells at the Japanese of the Third Division at a rate of six rounds per minute.

The artillery shells began to bombard the Kuomintang positions intensively from 300 meters in front of them, and this time the attack was a lucky coincidence.

The suicide squad that rushed to the front was dealt with by mortars and heavy machine guns.

The main force of the Japanese Second Brigade had just rushed to 300 meters behind.

Because the First Brigade had already destroyed an entire regiment while retreating from Changsha City.

This is also because the First Brigade was short of manpower, so the Second Brigade was replaced and they were responsible for today's main attack.

But now China's God has also begun to open his eyes.

He didn't even give the Second Brigade a chance to perform.

Just as they bent down and prepared to charge, the Kuomintang artillery shells began to "plow the ground".

Many Japanese soldiers from the Second Brigade were blown into the sky by artillery shells before they had time to lie down again.

In order to break through directly, the Japanese set up three blockade lines by the National Army.

The commander of the Second Brigade chose to increase the thickness of the charging soldiers' formation.

So as the second echelon of the entire army, a regiment of Japanese soldiers were preparing to charge.

It was completely destroyed by the large-caliber artillery shells of the National Army.

Division Commander Mishima was standing behind with a telescope, watching his soldiers being blown into pieces.

With a "puff" sound, Division Commander Mishima vomited blood.

He thought sadly in his heart, is it possible that God is going to take away his Third Division?

Division Commander Mishima wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth and gave orders to his staff.

"Order Chief of Staff Fengzi Yamashita, who is commanding in the front, to retreat to the rear immediately.

We need to adjust our strategy and reunite with Takahashi's 40th Division.

Two divisions, make every effort to open a gap from the front and force a crossing of the Miluo River."

Division Commander Mishima knew very well that his Third Division only had more than 15,000 people left.

The first two waves of counterattacks launched by the National Army destroyed Mishima's carefully prepared suicide squad.

The Second Regiment, which had concentrated the entire division's bullets in preparation for a desperate charge, had suffered heavy casualties.

Now Mishima only has more than 9,000 people left.

They only had the strength of a brigade, and each soldier had only five bullets left in his gun.

With this little strength, it's better not to dream of breaking out of the encirclement of four armies.

Chief of Staff Fengzi Yamashita, who was commanding at the front, was very unhappy.

According to his idea, he should rush forward in one go and quickly approach the trenches of the Kuomintang army.

As long as they mixed in with the National Army, the artillery of the National Army's artillery units would be useless.

As long as the bayonets of the brave warriors of the Third Division were pointed at the chests of the Chinese soldiers.

Those national army soldiers would surely be frightened and flee in all directions.

At that time, they just need to rush forward, and it will not be difficult to break through the three lines of defense of the National Army.

But what Yamashita Fengzi did not expect was that their Mishima Division Commander actually issued an order to retreat.

Yamashita sighed and thought indignantly in his heart.

"My own Mishima Division Commander is really a stupid guy.

This cowardly, fearful, and war-fearing habit is simply incurable. "

Division Commander Mishima: Yamashita Fengzi, are you stupid? Are you blind?

Didn’t you see how dense the Chinese army’s artillery fire was?

You want to cross the line of fire with just a few thousand of your people?

Even if you pull up the entire division, they will all be killed in the wild by the Kuomintang artillery.

Even if you rush forward, it will be of no use. Don’t you see that there are tens of thousands of Chinese troops waiting for you in the trenches behind you?
