Chapter 1 The Intense Battle on Meishu Ridge

The battle on Meishu Ridge was raging fiercely, and Captain Fujita Yoshio, waiting for news in the rear, was extremely anxious.

He had been paying close attention to the safety of the Third Battalion's defensive positions. What reassured him somewhat was that since he had refused the first wave of distress calls from the various companies, they had been much quieter.

No other team had made a second call to the brigade headquarters, and no other company had requested reinforcements.

That's good! Developing from within, tapping internal potential, and cultivating deeply would always allow them to persevere.

Captain Fujita Yoshio was still praising his subordinate companies when an observer reported, "Captain! There seem to be Chinese soldiers on the main peak."

Captain Fujita Yoshio, who had been feeling pleased with himself, was immediately enraged. The battle had already begun, and he had already envisioned the outcome.

Why did they have to interrupt? Still, he raised his binoculars and looked towards the main position.

One glance was all it took for him to confirm that there were indeed Chinese soldiers on the main peak. The uniforms of the two sides were completely different, and there was no mistaking it.

Why? Why hadn't Company Commander Kojiri Asahi sent another distress signal? Why?

He was destined not to get an answer now, but that did not affect Captain Fujita Yoshio's next order: "Everyone, attack the main peak!"

He had to retake the main peak of Meishu Ridge because it was related to the safety of his entire defensive line on Meishu Ridge.

The Japanese soldiers of Captain Fujita Yoshio's brigade headquarters immediately organized themselves, cooperated with the reserve team left behind by the entire brigade, and formed an attacking force of more than two hundred soldiers. They set off under the personal leadership of Captain Fujita Yoshio.

The distance from the brigade headquarters to the main peak of Meishu Ridge was not far. They arrived at the foot of the main peak in just over ten minutes.

Looking at the main peak in front of him and listening to the dense gunfire still ringing out from the other positions, Captain Fujita Yoshio did not hesitate. He drew out his command sword and pointed it towards the top of the mountain, "Charge! Charge!"

Squad Leader Takanari Masato heard the order and immediately led his team to act as the vanguard, taking the lead in charging upwards.

These Japanese soldiers all knew very well that the best time to recapture a position that had already been occupied by the Special Operations Brigade was to attack before they had gained a firm foothold.

Otherwise, once the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade had familiarized themselves with the terrain and set up their firepower on the top of the mountain, it would be very difficult to attack. Company Commander Shi Junxia, standing on the main peak of Meishu Ridge, was still directing his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Suddenly, he discovered that the Japanese had actually begun a counterattack. This was something that he had never expected.

The Japanese dared to counterattack? Who gave them the courage?

Company Commander Shi Junxia immediately ordered, "The entire company will suspend cleaning the battlefield, enter the positions, and prepare to meet the Japanese attack."

The fortifications and trenches built by the Kojiri Asahi Company, which had previously been stationed on the mountain peak, were all aimed at attacks coming from the other direction.

Now, they were being used to deal with the Japanese attack, but they were not in the same direction at all and were completely useless.

The First Company's current defensive counterattack only had the advantage of being in a commanding position.

There were no trenches or fortifications. They needed to find natural terrain on the mountain peak to build a defensive line temporarily.

This Japanese team was very familiar with the terrain. Their momentum was very strong. Squad Leader Takanari Masato led his team, using the cover of the terrain, and quickly rushed to a place less than a hundred meters from the top of the mountain.

The First Company's gunner, Xin Yongfu, became anxious and operated the infantry gun, firing at the Japanese soldiers who had been suppressed behind a large rock by the heavy machine guns.

The shells exploded on the rock, but did not harm Takanari Masato's squad hiding behind it.

In this situation, only mortars, which fired indirectly, could play a role.

The First Company's five mortars immediately opened fire on the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the large rock.

The First Company's other firepower was aimed at the main force of the Japanese army behind them, suppressing their advance.

Platoon Leader Jing Liquan asked for permission to fight, "Company Commander! I'll take some men to take out the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the rock."

Company Commander Shi Junxia looked at the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the rock. He had to admit that the position the Japanese had found was indeed very good. The large rock could perfectly block all the heavy firepower from their side.

They were able to counterattack under their suppressing fire. It was a nail stuck in the First Company's position.

Shi Junxia ordered, "Platoon Leader! Lead the First Platoon to eliminate those Japanese soldiers."

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Jing Liquan led the First Platoon and immediately rushed out. He had already chosen a route and did not lead the team to charge directly towards the large rock.

Instead, he rushed to the side. He wanted to circle around to the left side of the large rock and attack the Japanese from that direction.

The other platoons still on the main peak did not stop suppressing the Japanese firepower for a moment.

The advantage of having strong firepower was brought into full play at this time. The First Company's heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and rocket launchers completely suppressed the reserve team organized by Fujita Yoshio.

Even though Takanari Masato's squad occupied a very advantageous terrain, under the hail of bullets, even the most advantageous terrain could not exert even ten percent of its advantages.

This situation made Squad Leader Takanari Masato very angry and very anxious. He was very clear that the advantageous terrain occupied by the squad was relative. This advantage would gradually disappear as the Special Operations Brigade on the mountain peak reacted.

He loudly ordered the grenadiers in his squad, "Fire! Fire! Keep firing without stopping!"

He also ordered the machine gunners in the squad, "Shoot! Shoot! Suppress the enemy's firepower!"

The squad leader's order was a real dilemma for machine gunner Kazuya Yuto. In his eyes, this was an impossible task.

The firepower from the mountain peak was too strong. It was simply impossible for him to suppress it with just one light machine gun.

If he could suppress the six heavy machine guns and two infantry guns on the opposite side with just one light machine gun, then there would be no need for the entire reserve team to come up.

Kazuya Yuto complained inwardly, but he did not dare to slack off.

He had to risk the hail of bullets from the mountain top and carefully extend the machine gun first: Safe!

Then, he stuck his head out to identify the target. As soon as his head came out, his body suddenly fell backward.

The assistant shooter next to him saw a large hole in the back of Kazuya Yuto's head, and brains spurted out of the hole.

Squad Leader Takanari Masato witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He ordered indifferently, "Continue! Maintain the suppression of the enemy's firepower!"

The assistant shooter, Yasutake Yuya, had no choice but to hold the light machine gun with trepidation, change his position, and imitate Kazuya Yuto's actions just now.

First, he extended the light machine gun. Nothing happened. Then, Yasutake Yuya stuck his head out, preparing to find a target and fire.

Just then, there was a loud "boom," and sparks flew in front of his light machine gun. A rocket exploded next to the machine gun.

The light machine gun was blown several meters into the air, and Yasutake Yuya was hit in the head by shrapnel. Half of his head was gone, and there was no need to try to save him.

Squad Leader Takanari Masato's expression changed slightly. He coldly ordered, "You! Go next! You must suppress the enemy's firepower."

The magical light machine gun rolled several times in the air before falling down. It was still intact.

This made Sergeant Miyamoto Haruto, who was named to continue operating it, very scared. In his eyes, this was a man-eating machine gun. Its two previous gunners had died.

Moreover, they had died without firing a single bullet. He could not let this happen again this time.

Being stared at by Squad Leader Takanari Masato, Miyamoto Haruto dared not disobey the order.

He could only pick up the machine gun, but Miyamoto Haruto had his own way. He first fired a crisp burst into the sky, "Da-da-da!"

Miyamoto Haruto hoped that this would dispel the machine gun's bad luck. He fired first to embolden himself, and then he changed his position and set up the machine gun again.

Safe! When the machine gun was set up, it did not attract any special attacks. This made Miyamoto Haruto's little heart, which had been trembling all along, feel a little more at ease.

When he stuck his head out again to observe the target.

"Pa!" Squad Leader Takanari Masato seemed to hear a gunshot, and then he saw Miyamoto Haruto fall backward. The blood flowing from the back of his head quickly stained the ground.

In such a short period of time, right before Squad Leader Takanari Masato's eyes, this machine gun, the only machine gun in the entire squad, had killed three Japanese soldiers.

Squad Leader Takanari Masato looked at another Japanese soldier with sharp eyes, "You go!"

All the Japanese soldiers in the entire squad now regarded this machine gun as a death warrant. None of them were willing to operate it.

Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke, who was personally named by the squad leader and had been stared at all the time, had no way to avoid it and could not think of any way out.

He could only pick up this deadly machine gun with trembling hands. He had just witnessed the scene of it killing Miyamoto Haruto.

As for the two Japanese soldiers who had died before, he had not seen them, but he had learned about them from the whispers of the Japanese soldiers around him.

Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke was trembling all over, which made the anger that Squad Leader Takanari Masato had been accumulating all along finally explode.

He drew out his whip and lashed Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke several times. The whip hit Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke's body, and even broke the clothes on his body.

But it miraculously made this Japanese soldier, who had just been trembling with fear, stop trembling.

Squad Leader Takanari Masato then pointed to a position, "Go! Go there! Suppress the enemy's firepower point."

In fact, he was also wondering in his heart: Was it the problem with this machine gun? Or was it the problem with the eyes of these dead Japanese soldiers?

Maybe those dead ghosts chose positions that would lead to their deaths! Squad Leader Takanari Masato firmly believed this.

This time, he personally chose a firing position for Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke, hoping that he could live a little longer.

The firepower from the mountain top was so strong. As the only machine gun firepower in the squad, as soon as it opened fire, it would definitely be the target of a key attack.

A machine gunner being able to survive for a quarter of an hour was already very good.

Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke quickly came to the position designated by the squad leader, fell to the ground, and carefully extended the machine gun. He did not encounter any attacks.

Now, at least thirty of the forty or so Japanese soldiers left in Takanari Masato's squad were staring at Hatsushiba Daisuke.

Many smart Japanese soldiers had quietly left Hatsushiba Daisuke's vicinity. They were afraid that after Hatsushiba Daisuke died, the squad leader would immediately assign the nearest soldier to be the machine gunner.

This machine gun really did not disappoint all the Japanese soldiers who were staring at it. Sergeant Hatsushiba Daisuke still could not survive the moment he opened fire. He died just as he raised his head.

This seemed to have become a curse. Squad Leader Takanari Masato's face was very ugly. Although his squad had found a good position that could perfectly avoid most of the direct fire from the mountain top, if he wanted to continue to charge upwards, he had to suppress the enemy's firepower.

But now, the only continuous firepower in the squad had killed four Japanese soldiers.

With a gloomy face, he pointed to the next Japanese soldier, "You! Go!"

Squad Leader Takanari Masato was too lazy to say anything more. He was too lazy to even raise his whip for Sergeant Dafu Taiiku, who had been named to die.

Just now, he had used the whip to cure Hatsushiba Daisuke's fear. Sergeant Dafu Taiiku was now trembling in the same way. It could be seen that his fear was beyond compare.

Sergeant Dafu Taiiku picked up the light machine gun that had fallen on the ground with trembling hands. His lips were constantly trembling, and Squad Leader Takanari Masato could clearly hear the sound of his teeth colliding with each other: "Click, click, click!"

Sergeant Dafu Taiiku's hand holding the machine gun was constantly trembling. He did not choose to change his position.

In the same position where Miyamoto Haruto had died, he tried to set up the machine gun again. He tried twice but still failed.

"Baga! You coward!" Squad Leader Takanari Masato's anger finally erupted. He waved the whip in his hand. He wanted to use the same method to cure Sergeant Dafu Taiiku's fear.

This time, all the Japanese soldiers in Takanari Masato's squad were surprised. Under the squad leader's treatment, Dafu Taiiku's hands really stopped trembling.

His hands stabilized, but he did not set up the machine gun. Instead, he held the machine gun and pointed the muzzle at Squad Leader Takanari Masato.

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!" The crisp sound of gunfire seemed to release all his fear at once.

Squad Leader Takanari Masato was like a wooden stake. After being swept by the machine gun, he did not make any extra movements. He just fell backward.

After killing Squad Leader Takanari Masato, Sergeant Dafu Taiiku did not stop. He held the machine gun and fired continuously at the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the rock, "You want me to die, I'll let you die first!"

He shouted loudly while firing angrily. At least ten Japanese soldiers in the completely unprepared Takanari Masato's squad were hit by bullets.

After reacting, some Japanese soldiers finally aimed at Dafu Taiiku and fired, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several gunshots rang out.

Sergeant Dafu Taiiku fell down. When he died, he was still holding the deadly machine gun tightly.

The infighting that occurred in Takanari Masato's squad frightened Captain Fujita Yoshio, who was supervising the battle from behind, so much that he almost jumped up.

Although this kind of battlefield infighting was not the first case, it was definitely the first time it had happened in his unit.

Unfortunately, he was too far away in the back and did not know what had happened in front that would lead to such a thing.

Dafu Taiiku died, and none of the surviving Japanese soldiers in the entire squad dared to take the machine gun from his hands.

Although it was the only light machine gun in the entire squad, these Japanese soldiers all believed that it was a cursed weapon.

Dafu Taiiku had just gone crazy and was controlled by it.

Now, this machine gun had killed more than ten of their Japanese soldiers, and the curse would definitely be even stronger next.

Just then, Platoon Leader Jing Liquan led his team to attack from the left side of this large rock.

The thirty or so Japanese soldiers left in Takanari Masato's squad, who were still in the midst of the infighting, faced the Special Operations Brigade soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them.

They could no longer muster their fighting spirit. Some Japanese soldiers immediately turned around and ran. The entire squad no longer had a commander.

One Japanese soldier took the lead in running away, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers immediately followed suit. They ran down the hillside one after another.

These Japanese soldiers fled under the firepower attack of the entire First Platoon and the entire First Company on the mountain peak. Only three or four Japanese soldiers were able to escape back to Captain Fujita Yoshio's side.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers fell on the way back, which made Captain Fujita Yoshio extremely angry.

He waved his pistol and fired four shots at the four Japanese soldiers, "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" executing them on the spot, one shot for each.

After killing the four deserters first, he ordered the remaining one hundred or so Japanese soldiers, "Charge up and retake Meishu Ridge!"

"Retake Meishu Ridge!"

"Retake Meishu Ridge!" Each of the Japanese soldiers was frightened by the captain's anger just now.

It could be seen from the captain's already red eyes that if any Japanese soldier dared not move to attack, he would immediately become the fifth Japanese soldier to be executed.

With this understanding, each of the Japanese soldiers crawled out of their hiding places and charged towards the mountain peak desperately.

Jing Liquan, the platoon leader of the First Platoon who had just occupied the large rock, did not lead the First Platoon to establish a defensive line in place.

He led the three squads of the First Platoon and turned to the back of the rock before they had time to clean up the battlefield. Using the large rock as cover, they fired at the charging Japanese soldiers.

This large rock was located across the hillside. The team hiding behind it naturally had the advantage of the terrain.

Just now, the Japanese soldiers occupied this place, and they could rely on this place to resist the attacks from the mountain peak.

Now, the First Platoon occupied this place, set up machine guns on the other side of the large rock, and strafed the Japanese soldiers.

Company Commander Shi Junxia saw that this position had been captured and immediately ordered, "Heavy machine guns forward! Second Platoon forward! Third Platoon provide fire cover on the spot."

The company commander of the First Company on the mountain peak immediately sent three heavy machine guns down here, and also sent out the Second Platoon to strengthen the force here.

Captain Fujita Yoshio commanded the last mobile force of the entire brigade to attack the main peak of Meishu Ridge.

Their attack became more difficult after losing the position on the hillside.

However, the situation forced Captain Fujita Yoshio to make such a decision.

At this time, on the 302 Heights to the right of the main peak, Third Company Commander Zheng Tianan was leading his team in a fierce battle with the Sakagawa Yu Company defending this high ground.

The defensive operation commanded by Company Commander Sakagawa Yu was quite satisfactory. When the Special Operations Brigade's artillery fire bombarded them, he only sent out two Japanese soldiers to the front line as sentries, monitoring the situation on the front line.

These two Japanese soldiers were also extremely lucky to survive the fierce artillery bombardment. The rocket launchers' bombardment of the entire 302 Heights only destroyed their trenches and fortifications, and did not cause any harm to the Japanese soldiers' strength.

This made the Japanese soldiers of Sakagawa Yu's company very excited. It was indeed a miracle that they could survive such a fierce artillery bombardment from the Special Operations Brigade without any casualties.

When the two sentries on the front line blew their whistles to remind them that Chinese soldiers were charging towards their positions.

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu then sent out the Akikazu Yuzhen Squad to the position. Originally, he sent out this squad to have them hold the front line for a few hours.

As a result, Company Commander Sakagawa Yu was greatly surprised. More than fifty Japanese soldiers in the Akikazu Yuzhen Squad had just reached the battlefield when more than ten of them were killed by the strafing from the air.

Despite this, Company Commander Sakagawa Yu did not send out reinforcements. Instead, he issued an order for the Akikazu Yuzhen Squad to hold on to the end.

In this way, Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen had no choice but to have the Japanese soldiers in the entire squad continue to defend the position.

They started shooting when the attacking team was still two hundred meters away. Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen had his own plans: his squad had too few men, and there were too many Special Operations Brigade soldiers attacking.

His small team must suppress their attack from a distance as soon as possible, and it would be best to send them back.

When Third Company Commander Zheng Tianan encountered the Japanese soldiers starting to shoot from such a distance, he immediately ordered, "Infantry guns and mortars set up positions on the spot and shoot at the Japanese firepower points. Heavy machine guns advance! Rocket launchers follow up! Infantry follow up!"

The firepower configuration of a company in the current Special Operations Brigade was already very strong. Two Type 92 infantry guns and five mortars immediately began firing.

The infantry guns aimed directly at the Japanese machine gun firepower points, and the mortars carried out curved fire on the Japanese fortifications and trenches.

Shells exploded in the Japanese trenches, and Sergeant Zuzawa Sota operated the heavy machine gun and kept shooting non-stop.

They had built defensive fortifications on this position. The bombing just now had destroyed many of their fortifications, but this heavy machine gun firepower point was still intact.

The firepower point built with stones and wooden sticks only revealed a small firing hole.

Sergeant Zuzawa Sota hid inside and strafed, and safety was very guaranteed.

The Japanese heavy machine gun strafing blocked the entire Third Company's attack route, and Company Commander Zheng Tianan shouted loudly, "Blow it up! Blow it up!" Two infantry guns and five mortars all fired at this firepower point.

Two consecutive shots missed, which made Company Commander Zheng a little angry. He shouted loudly, "Rocket launcher! Get closer and shoot!"

The soldiers of the Third Company pushed the heavy machine guns and advanced another fifty meters under the strafing of the Japanese heavy machine guns.

At this time, rocket launcher Bai Wenxing lay prone on the ground and quietly aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gun from the angle between the two small carts.

This firing position was not thought up on the spot, but was found through countless practices by the Special Operations Brigade soldiers in their usual training.

The angle position set by the earthen tanks only allowed one rocket to fly out, which was equivalent to leaving only a small firing window.

At the same time, the heavy machine guns on the earthen tanks were still strafing non-stop, attracting the Japanese soldiers' attention. These were all to protect the safety of the rocket launcher as much as possible.

Bai Wenxing aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gun. With a "swoosh!" a rocket flew out.

It directly hit the heavy machine gun's fortress, blasting away large pieces of rock and breaking the wooden stakes mixed inside.

But it did not blow up the Japanese heavy machine gun.

Sergeant Zuzawa Sota was behind the fortress and felt the entire space shaking. His heart was also shaking.

However, he did not dare to retreat, and he did not dare not continue shooting.

His trembling hands and frightened heart made the sound of the heavy machine gun he was operating sound like a vibrato: "Duk! Duk!"

Bai Wenxing did not stop. The smoke cleared, and he saw that the Japanese fortress had a large dent in it.

This time, he continued to aim at that position. The two infantry guns in the rear also fired at the position where there was a large dent.

"Boom! Boom!" One explosion after another made all the Japanese soldiers inside afraid.

Their Japanese soldiers' positions were here. Judging from the sound of the explosions and the constant shaking of the protective wall in front, they would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Despite this, these Japanese soldiers still did not dare to retreat. Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen was not an easy-talking Japanese soldier.

Bai Wenxing's second rocket was launched. The sound of the explosion of "Rumble" sounded, and the sound of "Duk duk duk" suddenly became one less.

The Japanese protective wall first exploded a large hole, and then slowly fell down. It fell towards the Japanese direction.

This protective wall had just protected them for so long, so that they had not been harmed. This time, the protective wall that collapsed, with countless stones and thick wooden stakes, crushed all the Japanese soldiers hiding behind it.

The Japanese heavy machine gun firepower point was destroyed, and Sergeant Zuzawa Sota and those Japanese soldiers hiding behind the protective wall were all gone.

The Japanese soldiers in Akikazu Yuzhen's squad were suddenly reduced by seven. In addition to the Japanese soldiers killed in other places, there were now less than ten Japanese soldiers left in the entire squad.

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu had no choice but to send out a second squad. He was more careful than Company Commander Nishikawa Jiro. This time, he did not send out all the Japanese soldiers.

However, the squad led by Yakagi Masato had extremely bad luck. Before they entered the position, they were strafed all the way by the returning ground attack aircraft, and their numbers were reduced by more than half.

There were fifty-four Japanese soldiers when they rushed out, and when they rushed to the position of Akikazu Yuzhen's squad, there were less than twenty Japanese soldiers left, and Squad Leader Yakagi Masato was also dead.

In any case, Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen now had more than thirty Japanese soldiers in his hands. They were facing the Third Company, which had already rushed to less than a hundred meters in front of the forward position.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen could only constantly urge the Japanese soldiers of the two squads to fire, fire, and keep firing.

However, they now lacked the support of heavy machine gun firepower, and even the light machine gun firepower points had been blown to pieces by the Third Company's infantry guns in the battle just now.

More than thirty Japanese soldiers could only fire with Type 38 rifles. This kind of rifle that required a pull after each shot was really unfriendly to most of the newly recruited soldiers.

Their shooting speed was really not fast, which meant that the charging Third Company did not encounter much suppression at all.

Not to mention that the infantry guns and mortars two hundred meters away did not stop bombing because the Japanese soldiers no longer had machine gun firepower points.

They were now bombing the Japanese rifle firepower points. Even if only one Japanese soldier dared to come out to shoot, he would be attacked by infantry guns.

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu, who was staying in the command post, saw that the situation on the front line was critical, and he had no choice but to send out all the remaining forces of the entire company.

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu personally led the last seventy Japanese soldiers of the entire company to rush out.

As soon as these Japanese soldiers rushed out, they encountered aerial strikes again.

This situation made Company Commander Sakagawa Yu vomit blood in his heart. Half of his company's Japanese soldiers were killed by the planes overhead.

Why? Why hadn't his side's planes come after fighting for so long?

In the past, every time a war broke out, there were only his own planes in the air, and there were never any Chinese planes.

Had the world changed?

What Company Commander Sakagawa Yu did not know was that the question of whether or not to send planes to support from the direction of Huoshan, Luan, and Hefei.

There had been a dispute within the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army and the North China Expeditionary Army for half an hour.

In the final analysis, there were only two views: one was to send planes, and the other was to resolutely not send them.

The reasons of both sides were very sufficient. The reason for sending planes was of course universal. The Japanese army had always wanted planes to come and help in battle.

These planes might not cause much direct casualties to the Chinese soldiers, but the morale blow to the Chinese soldiers was immeasurable, and the encouragement effect on the Japanese soldiers was also very obvious.

What was the war about? Of course, it was morale!

The reasons for resolutely not sending planes were also very sufficient. They listed all the battles since the Japanese army fought against the Special Operations Brigade, starting from the Jiangyin Fortress. The Special Operations Brigade had never let go of a single plane that dared to fly over their heads.

They believed that the Special Operations Brigade must have special weapons to deal with planes, so that every plane that flew over their heads was shot down.

Instead of sending planes to perform a mission that was bound to die, it would be better to leave these planes and let them go and fight other Chinese teams.

Anyway, there were not many battlefields of the Special Operations Brigade throughout the battlefield, and there were so many places that needed planes to bomb them.

Limited planes could not be used to confront the Special Operations Brigade indefinitely.

The reasons of both sides were very strong, which made Yan Junlu and Temple Shouyi both very embarrassed.

Soon, the two commanders made the same decision: do not send planes!

Without the support of planes! Wouldn't the Empire's warriors be able to fight?

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu, who did not have the support of planes in the air, was still very uncomfortable, especially compared to the Chinese army's current planes: this was a huge psychological reverse difference.

In the past, he had planes and the Chinese army did not, but now the Chinese army had planes and he did not.

This made the Japanese soldiers on the entire Huoshan defense line feel fear, especially after the Special Operations Brigade's ground attack aircraft caused huge casualties to them.

When Company Commander Sakagawa Yu led his team to rush to the front-line position, there were less than one squad of Japanese soldiers in the entire company who could still persist in fighting.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen was still miraculously alive.

This was a miracle. Of the fifty-four Japanese soldiers in his squad, no more than four were still alive.

As soon as Company Commander Sakagawa Yu entered the position, he immediately took over the command of the entire defense line.

He shouted loudly, "Shoot! Shoot!"

His command was no different from that of Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen. This was not because his ability was only like this.

The fact was that there was only one squad of troops on the entire defense line, and their weapons and equipment were not as good as those of a squad.

All the machine guns, heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers of the entire company had been destroyed. All that was left in the hands of these fifty or so Japanese soldiers were Type 38 rifles.

It was not that they were unwilling to pick up machine guns to fight, but the fact was that those heavy weapons had all been blown up by the enemy's shells.

They could not be used at all. Facing this situation, no commander had any more solutions.

Company Commander Sakagawa Yu looked at the fact that the speed at which his men were firing was not as fast as he wanted, and then looked at the Third Company, which had already rushed to less than thirty meters away from the position.

He finally recognized reality and ordered loudly, "Fix bayonets!"

This was a signal, a signal to have all the Japanese soldiers rush out and fight with bayonets. All fifty or so Japanese soldiers were in a hurry to fix bayonets on their Type 38 rifles.

During this period of time for fixing bayonets, the Third Company had charged forward another ten meters.

"Charge!" The shrill voice of Company Commander Sakagawa Yu echoed throughout the entire position, and his command knife pointed towards the charging Third Company.

If you looked closely, you would find that the tip of his knife was trembling. Perhaps he was too excited, or perhaps he was still a little afraid in his heart.

However, these were all details and there was no need to delve into them. Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen was the first to jump out of the trench and charge forward.

For him, he believed that he was the first to lead the team out, and he had not been killed all the time. This meant that the Amaterasu Omikami was protecting him in the dark.

He would be able to continue fighting without dying, so he had to rush to the front.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen took the lead in rushing to the front, which greatly encouraged those Japanese soldiers in the entire Sakagawa Yu Company who had survived by chance.

In their opinion, since the squad leader had charged, what reason did they have not to charge?

Company Commander Zheng Tianan saw that the Japanese soldiers were charging so neatly, and he only felt excitement in his heart.

He shouted loudly, "Charge! Don't let a single Japanese soldier go!"

Not letting a single Japanese soldier go was the source of his excitement.

These Japanese soldiers charged so uniformly and did not turn around to escape. This saved him a lot of trouble.

He only needed to kill them head-on, and he did not need to continue chasing them down later.

This was a group of sensible Japanese soldiers! This was how Company Commander Zheng Tianan evaluated this group of Japanese soldiers.

Company Commander Zheng Tianan did not see any meaning in the last-ditch struggle that Company Commander Sakagawa Yu was trying hard to put on.

For these soldiers of the Third Company, the suicidal charge that the Japanese soldiers were now launching was just another way to die!

When it came to fighting with bayonets, the current Special Operations Brigade was not afraid!

The heavy machine guns of the Third Company had to stop firing because the company commander had already rushed forward in a few steps.

Zheng Tianan saw Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen charging up, and he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

He immediately rushed forward and thrust his bayonet towards this Japanese soldier as a greeting.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen was originally charging down the hillside, and he still had a little bit of advantage in the terrain.

However, he was frightened by Company Commander Zheng's indomitable momentum, and he did not dare to parry. He tilted his steps and dodged to the side.

Company Commander Zheng did not let him go. He moved his feet to the left, turned ninety degrees, and the bayonet in his hand was like flowing clouds and flowing water. His posture did not change, and his speed increased as he charged towards this Japanese soldier.

In the time it took to turn around, several soldiers from the Third Company had already rushed past Zheng Tianan.

They also clashed with the Japanese soldiers charging down the mountain. Special Operations Brigade-style bayonet fighting: Kill! Kill! Kill!

The mountain was full of such shouts of killing, and in such shouts, one Japanese soldier after another fell down.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen was taken aback by the speed at which Company Commander Zheng Tianan caught up. He did not dare to parry and moved to the side again.

This time, all his luck was used up. This was a hillside, not flat ground. The original hillside was not flat.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen's side step was unsteady, and his body actually fell to the side.

Under conditional reflection, his body automatically retreated, trying to stabilize his center of gravity and stand firm before fighting again.

Company Commander Zheng Tianan did not give him this opportunity. Strike while the iron is hot.

Taking advantage of his staggering body, he followed up with a bayonet thrust, as fast as lightning, and hit the target with one knife.

Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen, whose body had not stabilized, was hit by such a knife and could no longer stabilize himself. He stretched out his hands, and the rifle in his hand flew out.

His body fell towards the hillside, and Company Commander Zheng Tianan, who followed up, quickly added another knife.

This time, Squad Leader Akikazu Yuzhen finally died completely, and his desire not to die could only be asked of his Amaterasu Omikami.

The charge of the fifty or so Japanese soldiers had not ended yet. Company Commander Sakagawa Yu had been insisting on holding his command knife steady, pointing it at the Third Company.
