Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Although Major Shuichi Kurokawa was unhappy, he still had to follow the orders of the regiment commander. As for the question of being careful about the traps set by the Chinese army, he thought it was nonsense. Didn't he know about the problem? Commander, you have to give me a solution, this is the most crucial thing.

The officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion no longer had the relaxed mood they had when they were resting in the back. They had just cleaned up the previous explosion area, and looking at so many broken limbs and arms of the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion, how could they still be in a good mood? It was already very good that they did not refuse to launch an attack forward. After all, the scenes in those explosion areas were too exciting.

This time, no officer or soldier had the leisure to bet on how many attacks their battalion would need to capture the position of the Chinese army on the opposite side. For the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion, perhaps not climbing onto the defensive position of the Chinese army on the opposite side was the most important thing for them. Who knew if there were any traps or tricks behind the Chinese army? They didn't want to become that pile of minced meat.

When the field artillery regiment's artillery support ended, the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion also began to charge towards the Chinese army's defensive positions. If you look closely, you will find that the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion kept a relatively large distance between each other, and when charging, although the speed was still very fast, every officer and soldier seemed to have no spirit. Everyone seemed to have a drooping face, as if this charge was to die.

The battalion commander, Major Shuichi Kurokawa, also learned from the previous experience of Major Fujiwara Chiya, the captain of the Second Battalion. He planned to stay behind and command the troops. After the troops in front stabilized the situation, he would go to the heavy machine gun position to command. He couldn't lead the troops to rush forward like the reckless captain of the Second Battalion, Major Fujiwara Chiya. He was not yet satisfied with his life.

As for the issue of keeping a relatively large distance between officers and soldiers, this was a solution that Major Shuichi Kurokawa thought of temporarily before launching the attack. The advantage of doing this is that if the Chinese army has buried explosives in front of the position, the losses of their own troops will be less.

Of course, the disadvantage of this method is also obvious, that is, the distance between officers and soldiers is relatively far. When encountering shooting blocks from the Chinese army, it is difficult for the attacking forces to organize effective fire suppression and squad tactical coordination.

But Major Shuichi Kurokawa does not have a perfect way to deal with the problem of the Chinese army's trap. You, the division commander and the regiment commander, are standing in the back and watching the battle, which is not dangerous. But you cannot avoid falling into the trap of the Chinese army, reduce the casualties of the troops, and quickly capture the positions of the Chinese army. Who can do this job?

Major Kurokawa Shuichi can only rely on his luck now. At the same time, Major Kurokawa Shuichi also hopes that the Chinese army on the opposite side will not play any more shady tricks. You have already successfully killed a captain and almost the entire second battalion. Don't bother with your own third battalion. At most, I can treat you Chinese soldiers to drinks in the future.

Perhaps it was Major Shuichi Kurokawa's inner prayers that worked. When the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion rushed to 200 meters away from the Chinese army's defensive position, gunshots were heard from the opposing Chinese army's defensive position.

Major Shuichi Kurokawa's request to increase the distance between officers and soldiers did have some effect. At least in the first wave of shooting by the Chinese army, not many officers and soldiers of his Third Battalion fell, and those who fell were basically the masterpieces of the sharpshooters of the new 100th Division.

As the Chinese army opened fire on the defensive positions, the officers and soldiers of the charging Third Battalion also lay on the ground and began to fight back at the Chinese army's defensive positions. However, the disadvantages of Major Shuichi Kurokawa's method of increasing the distance between officers and soldiers were exposed. It was basically difficult for the soldiers of the attacking force in the front to have tactical coordination with each other. The officers in the front could only give commands by shouting, but the battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire and artillery. Who could hear the officers' shouts?

Moreover, the Japanese officers were now terrified. In just a short while, several officers had been knocked to the ground by the Chinese army's bullets. This made the other surviving officers feel insecure. They could only lie on the ground and shout as loudly as possible to command the soldiers to fight. They did not dare to raise their heads to observe the situation on the battlefield to command the operations, and could only command the soldiers to fight based on their own experience.

The Japanese army was also very active in front of the defense position of the New 100th Division and exchanged fire with the officers and soldiers on the defense position of the New 100th Division for fifteen minutes. The battalion commander, Major Shuichi Kurokawa, who was watching the battle from behind, carefully observed the attack of his troops through a telescope. He felt that although he was not sure how effective such an attack would be, at least the losses of his troops would be greatly reduced, and it was basically in line with the combat plan and effect he had formulated before.

As for the problem of how to break through and occupy the defensive positions of the Chinese army on the opposite side, Major Shuichi Kurokawa felt that the regiment commander and division commander who were watching the battle from behind should be able to come up with a good idea, and his troops just needed to slowly advance towards the defensive positions of the Chinese army.

As for when the Chinese army's defensive positions can be occupied, Major Shuichi Kurokawa feels that this is not something he needs to worry about, because it all depends on how long the Chinese army on the opposite defensive positions can hold out in the exchange of fire. When the Chinese army can no longer hold on, he will send two teams of officers and soldiers to the Chinese army's positions to carefully check whether there are any traps.

In any case, Major Shuichi Kurokawa has made up his mind that he will not enter the Chinese army's position after the attacking troops occupy the Chinese army's defensive position. He will only enter the position after the troops have searched the front. This is also in line with the requirements of the division commander and the regiment commander to be careful of the Chinese army's traps.

It's not that Major Shuichi Kurokawa is timid, it's just that he has to obey the orders of the division commander and the regiment commander. After all, he has to be careful of possible traps of the Chinese army, isn't that shameful.

The officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division on the second line of defense also began to gradually retreat after exchanging fire with the Japanese for twenty minutes. This also made the Japanese feel that they had suffered heavy losses on their positions and their firepower was gradually weakening. If everyone withdrew all at once, the already frightened Japanese would become even more suspicious and cautious, which would not achieve Zhang Wenwu's idea of ​​​​consuming the Japanese troops as much as possible.

"Sir, the firepower on the opposing Chinese army's defensive positions is getting weaker and weaker, which means that the casualties of the opposing Chinese army have become more and more serious. I think it won't be long before the Third Battalion will occupy this Chinese army's defensive position." Colonel Tsunahiko Watanabe, the commander of the regiment, also observed the problems on the Chinese army's positions through the telescope. He was a little happy to tell the division commander, Lieutenant General Anriyoshi, who was standing in front of him, about what he had discovered.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Anriyoshi, also nodded while holding up a telescope. He also found that the Chinese army on the opposite side seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He was not surprised at this result. The combat style of the Third Battalion was to cause heavy casualties to the soldiers on the opposite Chinese army's positions through the soldiers' precise shooting, and then to crush the confidence of those weak Chinese soldiers. This trick was very effective on the Chinese battlefield and had been tried and tested.

"Send someone to notify the troops in the front. If the Chinese army flees, do not rush to pursue them into the position. Be sure to send a small unit to find out the situation on the position. Don't let the Chinese army's conspiracy succeed again." The division commander, Lieutenant General Anriyoshi, ordered the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Tsunahiko.

Major Shuichi Kurokawa, the captain of the 3rd Battalion who was directing the heavy machine guns to suppress the fire, also discovered that the firepower of the opposing Chinese army's defensive positions was getting weaker and weaker. This made Major Shuichi Kurokawa happy, as it meant that he had accidentally caused heavy losses to the opposing Chinese army. It looked like if they could continue firing for a while, the opposing Chinese army would retreat, and he would be able to successfully occupy this position.

When the messenger sent by the regiment commander told him the division commander's order, Major Kurokawa Shuichi felt a little proud. He had already arranged all the issues that you were worried about. He would definitely wait until the attacking troops had ensured all the safety issues before they would reach the defensive positions of the Chinese army. He would not let these conspiracies and tricks of the Chinese army succeed. In terms of IQ, his IQ ranked second in the 11th Regiment, second only to the regiment commander, Colonel Watanabe Tsunahiko.

Twenty minutes later, the officers and soldiers of the attacking force of the Third Battalion were delighted to find that there was no more gunfire from the defensive positions of the Chinese army opposite. So, the officer commanding in the front sent two squads of officers and soldiers to charge forward according to the previously formulated battle plan.

The task of these officers and soldiers is to explore the strength of the Chinese army's defensive positions. If the Chinese army has really retreated, they will need to quickly check the Chinese army's positions to prevent any traps. At the same time, they need to send someone back to report the situation.

There were two other teams of soldiers behind them who needed to rush forward to reinforce. Their mission was to search 300 meters ahead to see if there were any Chinese troops moving around, to prevent the Chinese troops from launching a counterattack not far away while their troops had not fully entered the position, and to seize the position back.

After the two teams of officers and soldiers entered the position and searched carefully for five minutes, they sent a soldier back to report that the Chinese troops on the position had withdrawn. The second wave of two teams of officers and soldiers hurried forward to reinforce under the leadership of the commander.

The battalion commander, Major Shuichi Kurokawa, was also nervously observing the situation of the troops in front with a telescope in the back. Just as nervous as him was the regiment commander, Colonel Tsunahiko Watanabe, who was watching the battle in the back.
