When the Japanese army attacked the position, the two brigades were like guardians on the left and right, standing next to the brigade captain.

When the heavy machine guns covering the attacking troops arrived, the sound of rifles shooting on the frontier stopped, and Major Kato's brows immediately frowned.

"Sir, what else is the national rescue army on the position doing? The attack has been silent at the beginning. Do they plan to give up the frontline positions directly?"

The captain of the regiment was very cautious and shook his head and replied: "This is the first time we have fought with the National Savior Army. We don't know their combat style and cannot judge. Don't worry, take a look first!"

In less than five minutes, the offensive troops took the front line, and there was no resistance in the entire attack, which made the two captains and the corps captain begin to doubt their eyes.

"The National Salvation Army has really taken the initiative to give up their frontier positions. Didn't the general say that they are very strong in combat and very difficult to fight? Why don't they even dare to defend the frontier positions!" Major Kato, who had just spoken, couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the other captain, Major Oda, did not speak, the expression of approval on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

The captain of the regiment did not respond, neither agreeing nor objecting.

They knew Major General Honda when he was still the captain of the wing. In his eyes, Honda was a person who was not willing to give in. He rarely heard him talk about how powerful his opponent was.

But more than once in the past two days, he heard Honda talk about how powerful the National Salvation Army is and how cunning it is...

This shows that it is indeed difficult to fight the National Salvation Army, and it also made Major General Honda suffer a loss. Otherwise, with Honda's personality, he would definitely not say such words that strengthen others' ambition to destroy one's own dignity.

Since the National Salvation Army is powerful here, they must be as simple as their subordinates' thoughts to give up their frontier positions.

At this moment, the commander of the attacking troops suddenly ran over and reported while gasping for breath.

"Sir, we have taken down the front line of positions, but there is no soldier of the National Savior Army on the position. Our captain requests to continue to launch an attack and take down the first line of defense of the National Savior Army in one go!"

"Captain, I think I can continue to attack." Major Kato expressed his thoughts as soon as he heard this.

"The National Salvation Army must have been frightened by the mountain artillery and mortar units we have set up, and then they voluntarily give up their frontline positions. As long as our artillery continues to stand by and are ready to fire artillery to support the offensive forces at any time, the National Salvation Army is likely to give up even the first line of defense."

"Even if they don't give up, our artillery troops can razed the first line of defense to the ground, tear the national rescue troops hidden inside into pieces, and take down the attacking troops in one fell swoop."

Although Major Kato said something arrogant, it made sense. The corps captain immediately ordered: "The troops continue to attack, and the artillery troops fired artillery at any time to cover them."

"Kato, immediately transfer the other three squadrons in your hands to the frontier positions we just occupied. If an attacking force encounters an accident or encounters an accident, send two squadrons to support the reinforcements!"

After giving the order, the corps captain raised the telescope. He wanted to confirm whether the National Salvation Army really retreated without fighting or was planning a conspiracy against him.

The attack was very smooth at the beginning. His subordinates lined up into three scattered lines and kept approaching the first line of defense of the National Salvation Army. They rushed to the front of the formation for 100 meters without being attacked.

The attacking troops were getting faster and faster. When soldiers took out grenades and were about to rush forward for twenty or thirty meters and threw them out, the scene he was looking forward to and didn't want to see appeared.

A row of dense heads suddenly appeared on the defense line, and the sound of light and heavy machine guns strafing sounded at the same moment.

The corps captain had a very rich combat experience and made a judgment as soon as he heard it: "A company of the National Salvation Army was stationed on the defense line, equipped with a heavy machine gun and at least six light machine guns."

When we said this, a large number of attacking troops had already fallen.

Although their reaction was fast, the sudden firepower attack was too fierce. Before the soldiers in the first row could make any reaction, they were shot into sieve by bullets!

The heavy machine guns that covered the attacking troops also joined the battle at this moment, instantly suppressing more than half of the blocking firepower on the position.

The corps leader breathed a sigh of relief. If the National Salvation Army on the position had only this ability and no other killer weapon, the offensive troops would definitely be able to rush up to kill them under the cover of heavy machine guns.

The subsequent battle is indeed developing according to the picture imagined by the corps captain.

Under the cover of heavy machine guns, the attacking troops were like gods helpers. The soldiers lying on the ground got up from the ground and continued to assault forward with guns.

At this moment, they had already rushed to less than 70 meters away from the defense line. If they rushed forward for more than 30 meters, they could throw the grenade into the national rescue army's position, kill them, and clear the last obstacle on the attack.

Their progress was very fast. Although some people were killed by sporadic bullets shot from the blocking position, most of the soldiers rushed forward for more than 20 meters within ten seconds. As long as they attacked ten meters further forward, the attacking troops could throw grenades.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The accident appeared in front of the corps captain again, and the light and heavy machine guns that were completely suppressed by the offensive firepower actually fired again. No matter how the heavy machine guns provided with fire cover suppressed and fired them, it seemed that they had no effect.

The offensive troops who had seen Victory Hope were blocked again, and almost twenty subordinates were killed and injured by a new round of firepower raids.

The casualties were not yet enough to make the captain's heartache, but he was very anxious.

The offensive troops were blocked by blocking firepower and could not advance and retreat. Every second, their subordinates were killed and injured. If they could not break the deadlock as soon as possible, their casualties would become greater and greater...

"Captain of the regiment, the machine guns of the National Salvation Army seem to be hidden in the castle, and the heavy machine guns are useless to them!" Major Kato also noticed this accident and quickly reminded him.

The corps captain immediately ordered: "The artillery fires now and blows off the machine gun fire point on the position!"

Major Kato hesitated and reminded: "Why should the offensive troops retreat first? Their blocking positions are too close to each other. The mountain cannons are powerful and the shooting error is also large. If you fire rashly, you may get accidentally injured!"

"No!" The captain refused without hesitation.

"As soon as they retreat, the National Savior Army hiding on the position would have time to move. At that time, it would be useless to fire the artillery at that time. Even if the castle is blown up, the living National Savior Army can still use other castles to continue to attack us."

"The real purpose of artillery bombardment is to kill and kill the soldiers of the National Rescue Army, not to destroy their positions. If this is the case, I would have let the artillery fire before the attack, and I would not have to wait until now!"

At the Former Enemy Command of the Fourth Battalion, Chen Zhong was introducing his way of playing on the first blocking position to Zhou Cheng: "Captain, I have built eight castles on the first line of defense, and now only four castles have been activated in the blocking battle."

"The Japanese offensive troops are less than fifty meters away from the defense line. In order to avoid accidental injuries, the offensive troops must be retreated before they can fire the artillery to blow up the castle. Our troops took the opportunity to move to the anti-aircraft shed to avoid artillery attacks."

"When the shelling is over, I can use the remaining four castles to fight another block."

Zhou Cheng nodded in approval.

Chen Zhong is worthy of being an old Red Army. Although he rarely fights positional warfare, he has sufficient experience in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.

In addition, Chen Zhong was active behind enemy lines for many years and often had to face the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression. If he was not careful, he would fall into a doomed place, which gradually created his character of leaving a backup plan for himself no matter what he did or fought.

Chen Zhong built eight castles on the defense line and activated four at a time, which obviously means leaving a hand for himself.

As long as the Japanese army attacked normally, Chen Zhong's arrangements could not only be foolproof, reduce casualties in the army, but also severely damage the Japanese.

"Woooooooooooooo... rumble..." A string of harsh whistles suddenly rang out on the battlefield, and then a large amount of black smoke rose from the first line of defense. After almost two seconds, the violent explosion reached everyone's ears.

Seeing dozens of black smoke suddenly rising from the blocking position, everyone in the command center was shocked.

Especially Chen Zhong, he shouted anxiously: "Are the Japanese crazy? Are they not worried about hurting their own people by chance with such fierce artillery fire?"

"It's too cruel. I don't take the lives of my soldiers seriously. So many shells hit the blocking positions, not only will the attacking troops not retreat, but also will let them continue to assault forward. The Japanese commander must be crazy!"

Zhou Cheng's face suddenly became gloomy and his heart was covered with a shadow. He never expected that the Japanese would do such a trick for him.

The sweeping battle was so hard at the beginning, and the attack was launched with a completely exertion of life.

Seeing the Japanese's shellings getting stronger and stronger, they blew the blocking positions into smoke in the blink of an eye. Zhou Cheng didn't need to think about it and knew that the 10th Company would suffer heavy casualties in this shelling.

I immediately looked at Chen Zhong and asked, "Can you still contact the Tenth Company now?"

Chen Zhongzheng looked at the battlefield at a loss. He had very little experience in position fighting. Faced with this sudden accident, it was difficult to think of a solution for a while.

After hearing Zhou Cheng's words, he calmed down: "The shelling has just begun, and the phone line must have not been blown off. You can contact them."

Zhou Cheng immediately ordered: "Then why are you still stunned? I will immediately order them to retreat!"

"The Japanese are still approaching the blocking position. They will rush forward after a while when the shelling stops. At that time, the tenth consecutive season must have suffered heavy casualties. They are not opponents, so it is better to pay a little price to withdraw now."

Chen Zhong suddenly reacted: "I will give them the order to retreat now!"

Chen Zhong was lucky. The telephone line buried underground was not blown off. The phone was opened as soon as it was called. Then he saw soldiers rushing out of the smoke, some carrying guns, some carrying wounded, and some carrying heavy machine guns, quickly retreating to the second line of defense along the traffic trench.

Chen Zhong's eyes were staring at the retreating troops, and he kept praying in his heart that the troops that had not evacuated their positions rushed out quickly.

To his disappointment, nearly two hundred people rushed out in the tenth row, and no one ran out again, and the remaining soldiers were undoubtedly dead on the position.
