"Everyone, take your positions! The Japs are coming!"

The Japanese army gradually approached, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters,... when the vanguard entered the range of fifty meters.

"beat!"

In an instant, the silent position was revived.

Heavy machine guns spewed flames, rifles fired volleys, and grenades fell like raindrops.

The Japanese troops fell down immediately, but the follow-up troops immediately lay down and fought back, and the tanks also began to use machine guns to fire at the holes in the bunkers.

"Anti-tank guns, go!" Yang Dashan ordered.

Three soldiers jumped out of the trench holding cluster grenades and used the crater to approach the tank.

However, the Japanese firepower was too strong, and two of them were shot and fell on the way. Only one of them successfully approached the tank, but was hit by the tank machine gun when throwing the bomb.

The grenade exploded next to the tank, causing only minor damage.

"Company commander, let me go!" A thin but determined young soldier asked for battle.

His name is Li Tiezhu. Although he has just turned twenty years old, he is already a veteran who has experienced the Battle of Shanghai.

Yang Dashan looked at the young man's determined eyes and nodded: "Be careful, I will let the machine gun cover you."

Li Tiezhu took off his shirt neatly, revealing his strong muscles, put the big knife behind his back, and picked up a bundle of grenades.

Under the cover of machine guns, he shuttled between craters like a nimble monkey and quickly approached the tank.

Twenty meters away from the tank, Li Tiezhu suddenly jumped up, and the grenade in his hand drew an arc and landed accurately under the tank tracks.

With a loud bang, the tank was paralyzed.

But at the same time, the Japanese army also discovered him and bullets rained down on him.

"Tiezhu, come back quickly!" Yang Dashan shouted anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Li Tiezhu did not return immediately. Instead, he drew the big knife from behind and rushed towards another tank.

The Japanese army obviously did not expect this move, and for a moment he rushed to the side of the tank.

He nimbly avoided the machine gun fire, jumped onto the tank, and slashed the tank's observation hole with his sword.

The Japanese soldiers in the tank were stunned by the sudden attack and the machine gun fire suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Tiezhu stuffed the last grenade into the peephole and then jumped off the tank.

After the loud bang, the tank completely stopped firing.

This scene not only stunned the Japanese army, but also shocked the national army.

If Zhou Zhengqing were here to witness this scene, he would definitely sigh that some of the unreasonable things in TV dramas are not entirely fake. There really are such powerful people! There really are people who can make bullets go around them!

"Well done!" Cheers erupted from the battlefield.

However, the Japanese army did not retreat because of the loss of two tanks, but attacked more frantically.

Especially in the direction of the bunker group, the Japanese army launched wave after wave of attacks at all costs in an attempt to destroy these solid defensive fulcrums.

At the most intense part of the battle, the Japanese army even rushed to the front of the bunker and attacked the bunker's firing holes with grenades and explosive packs.

The defenders used bayonets and engineer shovels to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Most of the firing holes in the No. 3 bunker where Yang Dashan was located were blown up, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to pour in.

"Put on the bayonets!" Yang Dashan roared and was the first to pull out the ancestral sword. This sword was used by his great-grandfather during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, and now it follows him to fight on the battlefield.

A brutal hand-to-hand combat broke out in the bunker.

Hunan Army soldiers waved their swords and fought with Japanese bayonets.

It is much shorter than the Japanese bayonet, but if you avoid the Japanese bayonet and engage in close combat, the powerful and heavy blow can often be fatal!

Long, although it has an advantage in close combat.

But being short is not necessarily a disadvantage.

Bayonet fighting requires courage, skill, and experience.

The elite National Army soldiers who survived the bloody Battle of Shanghai were not lacking in experience and skills, not to mention courage. What was there to be afraid of after running out from a pile of dead bodies!

Yang Dashan chopped down with his sword, and the arm of a Japanese sergeant was broken.

Li Tiezhu was even more courageous. The big knife seemed to be alive in his hand. In the flash of the knife, three Japanese soldiers fell down.

But the Japanese troops continued to pour in, and the defenders gradually became unable to hold out.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time and wiped out all the invading Japanese troops.

When clearing the battlefield, the soldiers found that the bunker was already flooded with blood, and the bodies of the enemy and our own side were entangled and difficult to separate.

As night fell, the Japanese army finally suspended its attack.

The battlefield temporarily returned to calm, with only the groans of the wounded and the occasional sound of cold gunfire breaking the silence.

Division Commander Tao Liu personally inspected the frontline positions.

Looking at the troops suffering heavy casualties, this tough guy couldn't help but be moved.

In Bunker No. 3, he saw Yang Dashan bandaging his wounds.

"You fought well today. Thank you for your hard work." Tao Liu patted Captain Yang on the shoulder.

"Commander, this is what we should do." Yang Dashan answered while standing at attention, his wound bleeding from the movement.

Tao Liu surveyed the bunker, his eyes fixed on the bullet holes and bloodstains on the wall. "Japanese military history will undoubtedly record that the enemy fortifications were three feet thick, difficult to destroy even with direct fire from field artillery. Every time a bunker was captured, squadron-level casualties were incurred."

"Then we'll have made a name for ourselves!" a young soldier said excitedly.

Tao Liu nodded, but his expression was solemn: "Reputation is bought with blood. Tomorrow, the battle will only be more brutal."

Sure enough, in the following days, the Japanese army changed its tactics.

They no longer charged blindly, but instead used heavy artillery to concentrate their bombardment on one point, creating a breakthrough before deploying infantry.

In order to target the bunkers, the Japanese army even dispatched 150mm howitzers to try to destroy these sturdy fortifications.

On the night of November 28, unexpected changes occurred on the battlefield.

Yoshida Sadakatsu, commander of the 33rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, personally led a special attack team, using the cover of night to quietly approach the position of the 62nd Division.

Their goal was to destroy the mortar positions that posed the greatest threat.

However, this action had already been discovered by scouts of the Chinese army.

Commander Tao Liu took advantage of the situation and set up a tight net.

When Yoshida's troops entered the ambush circle, suddenly, dozens of flares were launched into the sky, illuminating the night as if it were day.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army's mortars roared!

"Fire!" The gunner gave the order, and the mortar shells shot like arrows directly towards the Japanese troops.

This unprecedented tactic caught the Japanese army off guard.

The shells exploded in the crowd, and shrapnel scattered in a fan shape, causing widespread casualties.

Yoshida Sadakatsu was hit by shell fragments at the first moment and died on the spot.

The leaderless Japanese army fell into chaos, and the Chinese army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"For Captain Yoshida, charge!" A Japanese lieutenant tried to organize resistance, but before he could finish his words, he was hit in the forehead by a bullet.

Yang Dashan led the soldiers out of the trenches, the big knife in his hand flashing coldly in the moonlight.

Li Tiezhu was like a tiger descending from the mountain. He killed five Japanese soldiers in a row and seized a light machine gun.

In this battle, the Japanese 33rd Regiment Special Attack Team was almost wiped out, and the captain Yoshida Sadakatsu was killed in battle.

The news was passed back to the Japanese command, causing a great shock.
