Years of the Republic of China 1913

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't have the character of sitting still and waiting for death. Sun Liechen whispered a few words in his ear, and after thinking about it, he immediately decided to follow Sun Liechen's method.

The front line was progressing smoothly. Although the casualties of soldiers continued to increase, seeing those annoying barbed wire fences being eliminated by the engineers who rushed over, Katsu Yamaguchi, who had been holding his face since the beginning of the war, finally showed a smile on his face.

"Let the engineers speed up the progress, order the 63rd Wing to prepare meals in advance, and launch an attack an hour later!"

"Hi!"

The messenger responded and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the 63rd Regiment. At the same time, Katsura Yamaguchi took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, guessing that this Buyun Mountain would be occupied by his division before sunset today.

Who would have thought that after more than ten minutes, there were bursts of violent and abnormal gunfire from the front line. Just when Masaru Yamaguchi felt a little strange, the commander of the assault team in front of the attack came to report, saying that it was the Chinese on the front line who suddenly launched the attack. counterattacked.

Katsuki Yamaguchi was startled, and asked the captain to immediately organize a team to drive back the counterattacking Chinese. In any case, the Chinese must be suppressed and they must not be allowed to succeed.

Katsura Yamaguchi, who has been through battles for a long time, understood immediately that his offensive method made the opponent unable to sit still. If the Tenth Division was allowed to advance their trenches in this way, the Chinese would lose the most advantageous The advantages.Therefore, launching a counterattack and trying to undermine his strategy is the most important purpose of the Chinese.

Jumping out of the trenches and the cover of barbed wire to have a head-on battle with the brave warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, Yamaguchi felt a little funny.Have these Chinese people lost their minds?With their low-level combat effectiveness, can they compete with the elite Tenth Division without the help of these things?In his opinion, the counterattack of the Chinese is not very meaningful, and the balance of victory is still on his side.

But Katsura Yamaguchi did not expect that only ten minutes later, the front line reported that the Chinese counterattack was extremely fierce. Although the assault brigade was extremely heroic under the opponent's counterattack, the casualties were huge, and it was already a little bit overwhelmed.Ask for tactical guidance.

"This is impossible!"

Katsura Yamaguchi stared in disbelief, his troops were about to be repelled?This is simply a big joke.But before he reconfirmed, the news of the frontline requesting tactical guidance came again.And this time it was actually a squadron leader who ran here, and seeing his face covered in blood and looking extremely embarrassed, Katsura Yamaguchi was so angry that he wished he could draw out his knife and chop this guy alive.

"The Chinese must be beaten back at all costs!"

"Your Excellency. The Chinese counterattack invested too many troops, and the commandos suffered heavy casualties. Please guide me with artillery fire!"

"no!"

Katsura Yamaguchi refused the request for artillery support, just kidding!It was hard for the engineers to advance so far. Once the heavy artillery attacked the front of the engineers, all the efforts would be in vain.Yamaguchi is not a fool, he still has this reasoning ability.

"But Your Excellency..."

"Needless to say, if you can't stop the counterattack of the Chinese people, you will apologize on the battlefield." Katsura Yamaguchi said with a distorted face.

"Hi!"

The squadron leader's expression was gloomy, he gritted his teeth suddenly, his eyeballs turned red, and without saying a word, he turned around and rushed to the front again, waving his command knife.

In order to achieve the purpose of counterattack.Zhang Zuoxiang's ruthless use of a regiment's mobile force was also Sun Liechen's suggestion.Sun Liechen, who has fought with Ri himself several times, is very aware of the strength of his opponent. With the same weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of Chinese soldiers is far inferior to that of the Japanese army. Can be successful.And that's true of the current counteroffensive.Compared with the counterattacking squadron, the Japanese commando team on the opposite side was only one-fifth of the number of the Chinese, but the opponent's resistance was extremely tenacious, and the fighting was very fierce.

The entire battle lasted for half an hour. Under the counterattack of Chinese soldiers wave after wave, the inferior Japanese army finally couldn't support it and began to retreat. \ At this time, the Chinese soldiers were decisively divided into two groups, one continued to fight against the slowly retreating Japanese army, while the other began to clean up the "garbage" left by the Japanese army in front of the barbed wire.Another ten minutes later, when the captain of the Japanese commando led a few soldiers to countercharge and was shot and killed on the spot by bullets, the struggling Japanese army finally began to collapse. You must know that this is the first time since the start of the war that the squadron has won a direct battle with the opponent. The excited soldiers rushed over with their guns, howling, and prepared to take advantage of the great opportunity of the opponent's retreat to beat the dog in the water.

"It's just nonsense!" Zhang Zuoxiang, who had been closely watching the counterattack, finally smiled with a sullen face, but when he saw his soldiers rushing towards the Japanese army desperately because of the victory, his face suddenly darkened again.

"Tell the brothers to come back quickly! Quick!"

"But we won..." A battalion commander who was grinning happily was suddenly a little dazed, and asked back with some puzzlement.

"Damn it, why are there so many nonsense, hurry up! Tell the brothers to withdraw quickly!" Zhang Zuoxiang kicked this stupid man standing behind him in anger.

A few minutes after the order was issued, before all the brothers who counterattacked could withdraw, there were bursts of violent artillery fire from the Japanese army.

"Damn it!"

Not only Zhang Zuoxiang, but also Sun Liechen, who was always by his side, watched helplessly as the Japanese artillery suddenly started firing, and the falling shells fell like raindrops on the crowd of the retreating squadrons. The soldiers were immediately accompanied by blood and flesh flying in the explosion, and the Chinese squadron, which had just won a victory, ushered in a miserable defeat.

Immediately after the Japanese army retreated, Katsura Yamaguchi was stunned when he learned that the squadron had successfully counterattacked, and then he gritted his teeth and gave the order for artillery preparation.In his opinion, since the attack failed, let the counterattack Chinese be buried with his commando, and let the Chinese taste the taste of failure.

The lesson was painful. Just as the squadron was elated for a successful counterattack, a fierce artillery fire covered the front of the position.Because the soldiers before the hot-headed counterattack had no time to withdraw in such a short time, the squadron suffered heavy casualties under a burst of artillery fire.When Japan's own artillery fire gradually faded behind, Zhang Zuoxiang also got the casualty report of this counterattack. When he learned that a regiment dispatched had more than half of the casualties, Zhang Zuoxiang was so angry that his teeth were about to gnaw.

"Where's the regiment commander? Where's your regiment commander?" Grabbing the collar of a retreating company commander, Zhang Zuo hated that he couldn't swallow the opponent alive. Such a large casualty could have been avoided, if it wasn't for the battlefield commander's decision-making error that led to the retreat If it is slow, Ri's own artillery fire will not have such a big effect at all.

"Regiment...regimental commander...he..." The company commander who was bombed with blood all over his face was stuttering for a while, unable to speak.

"Damn it, what did I say before the attack? Ah! Why? Who made you bastards rush so far? My regiment! One of my regiments! I... I'm going to kill him alive!"

"I...our regiment...the regiment leader has died..." Just when Zhang Zuoxiang was yelling to kill someone with red eyes, the injured company commander finally said the following words. After staring blankly at the company commander for a long time, the hand holding his collar slowly loosened unconsciously.

"Hi..." Zhang Zuoxiang pushed the company commander forward vigorously, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Brother Fuchen, you will gain wisdom by eating a ditch, and the blood of the brothers will not be shed in vain. At least we have typed back the Xiaori notebook." He was also heartbroken when almost the entire army was wiped out.But now is not the time to be sorry, the war is still going on, and Ri himself on the opposite side will definitely find a way to attack after suffering such a loss.

"Damn it!" Wiping his face, Zhang Zuoxiang stood up: "Yes! The blood of the brothers is not in vain. Is Xiaori's book crazy? Didn't I call it back! Damn it, wait Look, with Lao Tzu and my brothers around for a day, I don’t even think about passing through here!”

This round of fighting, both China and Japan suffered heavy casualties. This is also the day when the Chinese army suffered the heaviest casualties since the Buyunshan position started.Of course, this is just the beginning and not the end. In the next few days, whether it is the Japanese army or the squadron fighting back and forth on this position, it is often when the Japanese army is about to break through the blockade of the barbed wire that the squadron will launch The fierce counterattack repelled the opponent, and when the squadron counterattacked, the Japanese army did not entangle as much as they did at the beginning. After a little resistance, they retreated and opened the distance, and opened the Japanese artillery that had been prepared at an equal distance. They began to shell the counterattack squadron....Repeatedly like this, the casualties on both sides increased day by day, until the blood flowed in rivers in front of the position and corpses littered the field.

At this point in the war, both the offensive side and the defensive side have entered a brutal war of attrition. The red-eyed Yamaguchi Katsura and Zhang Zuoxiang kept filling in their troops, often in the posture of one side attacking and the other retreating, and the other retreating and attacking again.Seeing each other back and forth, no one can do anything to the other.
