When the shells exploded, Sakagami Seishirō was about to leave the ambush circle. Fearing that the Yimeng guerrillas would snipe him, the old devil hid in the last armored vehicle. Behind it was a tank, and behind that was a truck with heavy artillery and field guns. There were also two squads of cavalry on both sides of the armored vehicle on guard. He thought he was very safe.

Hearing the explosion, the old Japanese soldier immediately looked through the observation port of the armored vehicle. What did he see? The old Japanese soldier saw countless white smoke flying from the high ground on the west side.

Mysterious weapon? Over!

The first round of rocket attacks did not hit the armored vehicle that Sakagami was riding in. Sakagami Seishirō was somewhat relieved. In his understanding, this thing could only fire two shots at a time at most. After the second round of rockets, Sakagami felt relieved. He absolutely did not dare to show his head at this time. He scolded the cavalry through the observation hole not to panic and ordered the rear to start a counterattack.

Just after I gave the order, I suddenly saw dense white smoke again. It was over! This time it was really over.

boom!

The armor-piercing bullet hit the armored vehicle that Sakagami was riding in. The fragments produced by the explosion spread wildly in the car. Sakagami was sitting close to the explosion area on the left, and several pieces of shrapnel penetrated the car body and shot into Sakagami's body.

"General"!

"Protect the General!"

"Doctor, the general is injured, call a doctor"!

Several Japanese soldiers in the carriage were injured to varying degrees. They had no time to take care of themselves and were shouting and trying to open the door to call for help.

Before the door was opened, another armor-piercing bullet hit the lower body of the armored vehicle.

boom!

The violent explosion caused the armored vehicle to stagger, and countless fragments penetrated in. Sakagami was already vomiting blood from his mouth, and his lower body was ravaged by the fragments of the explosion again. He struggled in pain for a few times, stopped breathing, his eyes were still wide open, and his face was hideous.

There were still two Japanese soldiers on the right side of the carriage who were not completely dead. They reached out their hands and pulled Sakagami Seishirō, shaking him with their last bit of strength.

"General! Your Excellency General."

After four rounds of rockets were fired, Lin Chuan was the first to notice something unusual in front of him. Many Japanese soldiers in white helmets did not hide or evade, but rushed madly to the north. Lin Chuan judged that there must be important people in the convoy in front.

"Signalman"!

"arrive"!

"Pass the order to the north. All anti-aircraft machine guns should aim at the vehicles and fire. Run and convey the order, quickly!"

"Yes"!

As the signalman's order was conveyed, the four anti-aircraft machine guns 200 meters ahead stopped firing at the Japanese cluster and opened fire at the trucks, tanks and armored vehicles.

The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were thin-skinned and heavily stuffed, and could withstand other guns but not anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The fuel tank of a vehicle was penetrated and explosions rang out one after another. When the last armored vehicle flew into the sky, the white helmet team that was still running forward desperately stopped, no longer dodging the explosion or bullets, with a look on their faces as if their father had died.

The second round of rapid artillery fire ended, and the explosions on the road gradually became sparse. Only the rocket soldiers were still meticulously aiming at the obstacles to clear the Japanese behind them.

Finally, some of the Japs couldn't stand it anymore and started to flee forward and backward for their lives. They couldn't escape from the ambush distance of two kilometers. Some of those with quick brains tried to climb eastward. Although the slope of the high ground on the east side was very steep, it was better than lying there waiting to be harvested by machine guns.

The Japanese soldiers fleeing to the south and north saw their fellow soldiers climbing up and were stunned by their cleverness. Yes! Isn't it better to climb eastward? If we climb up, we can run away, right?

Some Japanese soldiers had just climbed to the high ground and had no time to rejoice in their escape.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The booby trap on the high ground exploded. On the high ground of more than 2,000 meters, the special forces of the guard regiment had set up more than 4,000 booby traps. The silk threads were densely stretched and all hidden in the deep grass. The Japanese soldiers who went up could not see them at all.

The Japanese were blown down the steep slope, and rocks were blown down with it. The Japanese climbing below were in trouble, either being knocked down by their own kind or by the rocks that were blown down.

Some Japanese soldiers who had not yet climbed up began to complain, saying that the enemy was just a bunch of idiots and had pig brains. They would have a better chance if they ran back.

When the shelling started, there were still two regiments that had not entered the ambush circle, one was the transport and logistics regiment, and the other was the engineering regiment. Both regiments were not fully staffed, and the division's auxiliary forces and medical teams also fell behind.

As soon as the gunfire sounded, the more than 4,000 soldiers behind were confused. What was the scene in front of them? Was this a war in China? The Emperor's Guards didn't have this kind of firepower configuration! The shells were overwhelming, and the mysterious white smoke with the flames drew beautiful straight lines, like a fairy weaving a giant net on the hillside and the road. The machine gun fire chain was even more terrifying, with more than a hundred fire chains densely intertwined. Are the brothers in front okay?

The soldiers were stunned, but the two regiment commanders were not. They were fine even though the division commander died in battle. They had to take responsibility!

The two Japanese colonels determined the direction of attack almost at the same time, drew their command swords and pointed them at the high ground on the west side.

"Sudden death, give it to me!"

The soldiers of the transport corps were somewhat confused, and so were the soldiers of the engineering corps. What were they going to do with their equipment? Thousands of soldiers looked at the mule-drawn carts and the backpacks on their backs, hesitating.

The two colonels were furious. What supplies were they still considering at this time? If they were a little later, the division commander might have been beaten to death.

"Everyone has it, if you die suddenly, give it to them."

The transport troops went up, the engineers went up, the auxiliary troops followed, and more than one hundred medical teams, led by a lieutenant, began to advance onto the road under heavy gunfire. Their mission was to save the wounded and the medical soldiers, brainwashed by militarist dogma, were not afraid of death. They rushed forward to treat the wounded in the midst of gunfire and flying bullets.

Don't be fooled by the words "supply troop" and "engineer". The Pingxingguan Victory was fought against the Japanese army's supply troop, where the elite troops ambushed them and caused a one-to-one casualty ratio. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the transport troop is not as bad as imagined. The same goes for the engineers. Although the two understaffed regiments did not have much heavy firepower, they still had a lot of rifles, grenades and crooked handguns.

The two companies of the Lunan Detachment were responsible for guarding the tail. Knowing that guarding the tail was a tough job, Lin Chuan loaned them two anti-aircraft machine guns, four Type 92 heavy machine guns, and eight Type 99 light machine guns, with enough bullets. The machine gunners of the two squads of the guard regiment controlled the two anti-aircraft machine guns, plus the two Type 92 heavy machine guns and four Czech light machine guns equipped by the two companies themselves. A total of twenty light and heavy machine guns had to face the more than 4,000 troops at the tail of the Fifth Division.

When the shelling started, all the machine guns of the two companies were set up on the positions. The soldiers of the Lunan Detachment were very curious about the two anti-aircraft machine guns, and their eyes were full of envy. The machine gunners of the two squads of the Guard Regiment were arrogant. Although they were envious, the two guns had to be taken back. The anti-aircraft machine guns were imported from Germany, and the regiment commander did not have the right to give them away. In addition, the Type 92 and Type 99 rifles were no longer needed. They were all junk and there were plenty of them in their own backyards.

The Japanese army charged, with more than 4,000 troops advancing continuously over a distance of a thousand meters. The crowds were dense and dense. At 400 meters, the defenders did not move. At 300 meters, the defenders still did not move. The attack of more than 4,000 troops on a small hill brought great pressure. Many soldiers of the Lunan Detachment were new recruits and had never experienced such a battle. Their palms were sweating from nervousness.
