However, the officers and soldiers of the Third Column on the opposite position received the order and began to quietly retreat along the serpentine traffic trench to the second trench fortification. Although the jagged trench effectively prevented the bombardment of artillery fire, the troops also suffered some casualties. Since the first trench still had a mystery and another trick, the enemy would not understand the situation, and today's attack ended here.

The Sixty-first Regiment was responsible for defending in the second trench. After seeing the position blocking of the Third Column, Zhou Zhizhong and others had to admire them. They admired their good fortifications, their powerful shotguns that curb the charge, their actual periscope-like things, and they almost didn't show their heads when observing the enemy situation, and they also admired the traps they designed.

Bench, watching the officers and soldiers of the Third Column retreat with long benches, Zhou Zhizhong and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Why is it so bad? Why did they understand the characteristics of the Japanese and the puppet army so thoroughly? In addition to admiration, Zhou Zhizhong and others also sighed secretly. If they had already built the fortifications like this, they would have killed fewer brothers and killed more Japanese!

...The decisive battle, the decisive battle, the expected decisive battle from the beginning of the sweep has finally begun. Judging from the intensity of firepower and the combat quality of soldiers, this should be the main force of the bandit army. They waited for their work, had strange weapons, and rely on the construction of fortifications to block the road of our army...

Kawano looked tired and held a telescope to observe the battlefield ahead. In fact, there were no few enemies on the surface, and all the movements of the enemy basically relied on crisscrossing traffic ditches. It turned out that this was not only an obstacle to the advancement of the mechanized troops of the Imperial Army, but also a ready-made trenches gathered by the movement of soldiers. In this way, no matter whether it was retreat or increased troops, they could effectively avoid the killing of artillery fire.

Moreover, the enemy obviously sets up deep defense, and there are three lines of defense that can be observed. Unlike most national troops, they are unchanging and lack deep positions. They are broken by concentrated forces and are broken by a thousand miles.

But none of this could stop the Locust Army's footsteps. Kawano's pride and confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Locust Army made it impossible for him to lose the will and determination to fight after first encountering setbacks.

"Fire the cannon!" Put down the telescope, Kono issued an order loudly.

The flag-speaking soldiers waved their flags, infantry cannons, and mortars roared together. The shells kept falling onto the front line of positions with a roar, causing smoke and dust to soar into the sky, shrapnel flying everywhere, sand and soil splashing everywhere, and the hot air flow and gun smoke choked people to breathe.

Under Kono's strict orders, the Imperial Army and the Japanese formed three attack lines again and began a wave attack formation.

This formation is also called a three-stage impact. In fact, it means that the attacking soldiers are arranged into three to five scattered lines and are alternately rushing forward under the cover of artillery fire. If a scattered line is defeated, the remaining soldiers will retreat behind and reorganize the team. If the casualties are too great to form a new scattered line alone, these scattered soldiers will join the last scattered line to strengthen the troops there.

In short, relying on the large number of people and strong firepower, we will move forward over and over again, thus giving the opponent an endless sense of attacking troops, thereby destroying the enemy's confidence and breaking through the enemy's defense line.

This wave-type attack formation was claimed to be invincible in the early days of the invasion of China. In fact, under the repeated impact of this formation in the first few years of war between China and Japan, few Chinese troops were able to withstand this almost endless crazy attack.

The firepower of the blocking suddenly increased, and the light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired together. The Imperial Army on the first attack line suffered the most casualties. But behind it was the supervising team, and Kono had already issued a death order, and those who retreated were killed! These cannon fodders could only move forward, forward, and rush forward with guns.

There was no anticipated bombardment from the hose gun, only the rain of bullets shot from the second trench. The first scattered line collapsed, and the second scattered line rushed up stepping on the corpse, and then the third scattered line formed by the Japanese.

The artillery fire began to extend, and the machine guns on both wings roared desperately, suppressing them. The firepower on the opposite side weakened, and the charges of the Imperial Army and the Japanese had an effect, and were close to the first trench.

Kono's hands trembled as he held the telescope, but the thing he was most worried about finally didn't happen. The kind of weapon that could shoot continuously should be said to be a jet, and the dozens of weapons did not extend out of the trenches.

In the telescope, the Imperial Army who rushed to the trench jumped down, and the Japanese soldiers behind also caught up and jumped into the trench like dumplings.

Kono breathed a sigh of relief and held up his telescope to continue to observe. He thought that the troops occupying the first trench would soon organize a charge, or extend their weapons from the trench to shoot against the enemy.

But today is destined to be the day that impressed Kawano the most. Repeated mistakes in judgment were repeatedly unexpected. The troops who jumped out of the trench fell into the bottomless pit, but there was no movement for a long time.

Kawano was very angry and puzzled, but the puppet troops and the Japanese who jumped out of the trenches were even more depressed and helpless.

The first trench was not only very wide, but also very deep, and the earth weir on the ground was about two and a half meters. Whether it was the puppet army or the Japanese, they would find that they could not see outside even if they were jumping, and they could only hit birds in the sky when they were on their feet.

Immediately, the team became chaotic, full of confusion and at a loss. Some were strumming their butts and trying to climb up, some were jumping to observe the situation opposite, and some were looking for something to cushion...

The enemy could not think of a solution, but felt a dark rain of grenades flew towards him.

Ah, ah, looking at the grenade that hit the head and fell on the feet, even the well-trained Japanese soldiers were frightened and screamed at death.

"Boom boom boom boom..." The continuous explosions were connected, and the metal storm instantly submerged the trenches. Screws of smoke rose up, broken limbs, broken guns, and steel helmet fabrics were thrown up, fell down, and bombed again. The devastating blows brought by the continuous grenades to the enemies trapped in the trenches, with nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, screams and howls came one after another with explosions.

Kawano's eyes almost popped out of his socket, his mouth was so open that he could stuff a big goose egg into it. He watched the battle-torn imperial soldiers being massacred by the enemy, and his mind was blank.

Before the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Sixty-first Regiment shouted, probably a cheer, and advanced along the traffic trenches. In the bloody trenches, they held bright bayonets to find the surviving enemies.

The carpet bombing of more than one hundred grenades was so great that it was so rare that it was even a complete corpse that could still stand up.
