Devil's Army

Chapter 423: Stop the Japs' Attack

But the colonel remained calm. After thinking it over again and again, he rejected his subordinates' suggestion again.

The colonel believed that once the special forces attacked, they must win with one strike. But up to now, they have not even broken through the first line of defense of the Devil's Army, and it is difficult to achieve the goal of a surprise victory even with the special forces.

The colonel believed that he had underestimated the opposing devil's troops, especially this time, which caused him to lose three squadrons at once.

He decided to take things slow and steady. He ordered the artillery to continue bombarding the Devil's position with 100mm howitzers, while another squadron carefully approached the Devil's position.

At this time, the first company at the front line of the First Army had completed the replacement of defense with the second company.

Due to time constraints, there was no way to reinforce the fortifications. The second company commander left only three observers in the fortifications, and the others stayed behind the fortifications.

When the Japanese squadron rushed to within 100 meters of the position, the Japanese mm howitzers stopped firing.

The Japs used the corpses on the ground to move forward by jumping or crawling.

After hearing the observer's report, the second company commander immediately led the second company into the fortifications.

The two sides began to shoot at each other fiercely.

The colonel was staring at the front line nervously in the command center. He didn't dare to send any more soldiers up for fear of being bombarded by the devil troops' heavy artillery.

Occasionally, the Japanese mortars fired a few shells at the First Army's fortifications. Occasionally, the First Army's mortar shells also landed among the Japanese.

With the help of the corpses on the ground, the Japanese slowly approached the second company's fortifications.

The Second Company had just taken over the defense of the First Company. If they couldn't even withstand a wave of the Japanese charge, they would not be able to hold their heads up in the Sixth Brigade. No matter what, he had to stop the Japanese attack.

He pushed aside the machine gunner who had just died and shouted, "Bonz, reload!"

A soldier next to the heavy machine gun turned around and reloaded the gun.

The second company commander pulled the trigger and shouted "Ah! Ah!" as he shot at the Japanese in front of the fortifications.

The Japanese soldiers hiding behind the corpses in front of the fortifications were knocked down one after another by the heavy machine gun bullets that penetrated the corpses.

The heavy machine gun is always the enemy's priority firepower point. A Japanese grenade thrower aimed at the second company commander.

With a "bang", a grenade launcher shell landed accurately behind the second company commander and exploded.

The bolt was blown away immediately, the second company commander's body shook, the heavy machine gun stopped for a moment, and then began to roar again.

The Japanese grenade thrower prepared to fire another shell.

The second company commander's heavy machine gun roared for a while, then stopped. The second grenade launcher shell from the enemy also flew over and hit the side of the heavy machine gun.

The heavy machine gun and the second company commander who was lying on it were blown away.

At this time, the artillery of the First Army fired a 150mm grenade to support the Second Company, which required a high level of technical skills from the artillery.

The effective killing range of a 150mm grenade is meters, and the enemy is about meters away from the fortifications. This shell must be fired at a position about meters behind the fortifications to effectively kill the enemy. If it is fired too far, it will not hurt the enemy, and if it is fired too close, it will harm the soldiers of the second company in the fortifications.

The 150mm grenade landed accurately nearly meters behind the fortifications. The Japanese soldiers within meters of the grenade impact point were blown away by the shock wave of the shell.

Even the soldiers of the second company in the fortifications felt a buzzing in their ears.

Despite the buzzing in their ears, the soldiers of the second company, led by the deputy commander, rushed out of the fortifications and launched a beautiful counterattack.

This squadron of Japanese soldiers fled back in a panic with less than half of their soldiers left.

The Japanese were beaten back, and the deputy commander of the second company took the dead soldiers back to the fortifications. He and a soldier, with tears in their eyes, collected the mutilated body of the second company commander and also retreated to the back. Only three observers were left in the fortifications.

The colonel ordered the artillery to continue bombarding the Devil Forces' fortifications, while he sat in the command center thinking about countermeasures: how to break through the Devil Forces' positions?

"It's getting dark, and the troops are tired after fighting all day. There's no need to charge again. It's too early to mobilize the special forces. The colonel decided to take a risky move."

After twelve o'clock, a new day has arrived. Two soldiers in the fortifications are chatting while looking at the sparse stars in the sky.

"Brother Guo, I heard that there are quite a few devils coming from Fengtian this time?"

"No matter how many or few the devils come, we must protect ourselves. Only by protecting ourselves can we better kill the devils."

"Brother Guo, what do you want to do after defeating the devils?"

"I haven't thought about this yet. After we defeat the Japanese, I will definitely take my wife to live with us in the army. We have been traveling around as soldiers for many years, and we have had too little time together. I owe her too much."

"Brother Guo, there seems to be someone in front?"

"Are you too nervous? Why didn't I see anyone? By the way, didn't you say there was something wrong with your eyes?"

"Yes, I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said I have night blindness, but my hearing is better than most people."

Brother Guo stared at the fortifications carefully for a while, and still saw corpses. Xiaoliu had been in the army for more than three months, and Brother Guo thought that he was too nervous, so he saw enemies everywhere.

But reality soon slapped Brother Guo in the face.
