Half an hour later, many soldiers saw a large number of Japanese soldiers appearing in front of them. The Japanese were all light infantrymen of Japanese soldiers, with a large number of people.

"The Japanese reinforcements are here!"

Since the Japanese were wiped out the vanguard's vanguard and a whole cavalry brigade, many commanders knew that the Japanese had prepared a reserve team. It would take no time for the Japanese to come, but they didn't expect that there would be so many Japanese to come.

The Japanese were more than twice the number of soldiers, but the soldiers were ready at this time and everyone was ready to face the enemy.

On a soldier's position, many soldiers were lying in broken trenches or in large pits blown out by bombs. The soldiers were staring at the large number of Japanese figures vaguely appearing in the distance.

A colonel commander was also holding a telescope and looking carefully at the Japanese in the distance. Seeing so many Japanese invaders, the colonel commander was also slightly shocked.

"It seems that the Japanese are preparing to drive us into the sea. The Japanese want to take advantage of the fact that we had just crossed the strait and our heavy equipment had not come, and we have not yet fully gained a foothold. We want to concentrate our superior forces to repel us."

"Captain!" A lieutenant colonel chief of staff next to him immediately said: "Do we want to call for air reinforcements!"

The colonel shook his head, and his expression gradually became firm. He said loudly: "Comrades, what if the Japanese concentrated their superior forces? We can still repel them, do you think so?"

"yes!"

The soldiers around were full of confidence, and everyone's answers were loud.

A few minutes later.

The Japanese were getting closer and closer. They were only seven or eight hundred meters away from the soldiers. The Japanese were already preparing for a charge. Obviously, the Japanese were preparing for a large-scale group charge. The regiment commander immediately said: "Where is our mortar? Let me blow the Japanese hard first and give them some good taste."

Although the soldiers did not come, the light 60mm mortar brought a lot, even the new 81mm medium-sized mortar also brought a lot.

As the strength of domestic military-industrial enterprises gradually increases, the production scale is getting bigger and bigger. The scientific research strength has also increased a lot. Domestic military-industrial enterprises have developed and produced new 81mm mortars.

With the mature 60mm mortar as the basis, the production of the 81mm mortar was very smooth. The first sample gun was produced a few months ago, and mass production began two months ago. These troops expeditioned to Japan became the first troops to be equipped with this new 81mm mortar.

This new 81mm new battalion is a mortar. It is mainly equipped with infantry battalions and provides near-fire support for infantry battalions. Each infantry battalion is equipped with 6 units, while the 60mm mortar is a company-owned mortar, and each infantry company is also equipped with 6 units. In addition, the 60mm mortar is also equipped with domestic armed police forces.

The new 81mm mortar consists of three major components: gun body, seat sheet and gun frame. The gun body is forged with nickel-chromium molybdenum vanadium high-strength alloy steel, and is equipped with a muzzle overpressure attenuation device and a special steel k-shaped bracket. The full gun can be decomposed into three human loads when marching.

In addition, domestic military-industrial enterprises also plan to convert them into self-propelled cannons on new armored transport vehicles and equip the newly established Marine Corps light tank battalions (each battalion is equipped with 8 guns).

The new 81mm mortar has now begun to be equipped with mortar platoons of various infantry battalions and airborne battalions, each row is equipped with 6 guns. The initial speed is 250 meters/sec. The maximum range is 4,600 meters, the minimum range is 200 meters, the maximum rate of fire is 30 rounds/min, the continuous rate of fire is 15 rounds/min, and the gun weighs 36.48 kilograms and can be carried by people.

This is the latest mortar developed by China, but the more powerful 120mm mortar is also being developed.

The infantry regiment was equipped with a lot of 60mm mortars and this new 81mm mortar. The mortar artillery soldiers were ordered and immediately began to intensively bombard.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The dense sound of mortar fire sounded, and a large number of mortar shells flew towards the Japanese heads. Soon, the dense sound of explosions sounded among the Japanese crowd.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Amid the dense explosions, many Japanese devils were blown away from flesh and blood.

A Japanese colonel saw that the Chinese team opposite began to bombard the intensive artillery, and immediately drew out his command knife and ordered the Japanese to start a large-scale group charge.

This time, the Japanese were charging forward with a gang size group. At least 3,000 Japanese were rushing towards the soldiers' positions all over the mountains. The Japanese obviously wanted to use their number advantage to rush to the soldiers' positions in one fell swoop.

"The Japanese are here! Hit me hard, there is no need to save bullets."

Suddenly, a lot of machine guns sounded, and each infantry squad had a machine gun. As a large number of machine guns began to roar, the Japanese fell down in large numbers, but the Japanese did not pause at all, screamed, and rushed towards the soldiers' positions while shooting.

A large number of ak-47 assault rifles also sounded, and many Japanese men entered the effective range of the ak-47 assault rifles of the soldiers.

"Boom", suddenly a bomb sounded on the soldiers' positions, and two soldiers who were shooting died immediately. Then, several explosions sounded, and several soldiers died again.

"Captain! Look, the Japanese mortar!"

A major battalion commander saw several mortars of Japanese devils firing through a telescope, providing firepower support to the charge Japanese devils. The major battalion commander immediately shouted.

As several soldiers died under the Japanese mortars, the colonel commander also noticed that about a thousand meters away from the soldiers, several Japanese mortars were bombarding the soldiers' frontier positions.

The Japanese mortars were deployed a little far away, and the soldiers' mortars were arranged relatively backwards. It was difficult for the soldiers to hit Japanese mortars.

However, we have quite a few 81mm mortars.

"The First Battalion Commander, command your 81mm mortar platoon and knock me out the mortars of the Japanese in the distance."

"Yes!" The major battalion commander immediately directed his 81mm mortar platoon, with a total of 6 81mm mortars aimed at the Japanese mortars.

Obviously, the Japanese mortars may also be 60mm mortars, and the number is about five or six. The Japanese mortars have a slightly worse performance than the soldiers' 60mm mortars. They cannot hit the soldiers' mortars, so the Japanese mortars have to aim at the soldiers' frontier positions to bombard.

Soon, six 81mm mortars began to fire. The maximum range of the 81mm mortars reached a terrifying 4,600 meters, and the rate of fire was also very fast.

"Boom, boom, boom" Many shells exploded on the Japanese mortar positions. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese mortar positions were blown away.

The colonel commander watched his 81mm mortar show his power and send the Japanese mortar position to the west. The commander waved his fist in the air with force, obviously, a little excited.

Losing the support of artillery fire, the Japanese charge was immediately blocked. They could no longer make any progress about a hundred meters away from the soldiers' positions. The ground was covered with Japanese corpses.

The soldiers were shooting fiercely, and the Japanese charged were suffering huge casualties. Although they were only a dozen minutes short, at least more than a thousand Japanese killed by the soldiers.

"Captain! The Japanese don't want to get close to our position."

A major commander, seeing that the soldiers had fierce firepower and firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, was full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, the regiment commander nodded, "As long as the soldiers hold on for another half an hour, our third group of troops will pass through the Guanmen Strait."

At present, a large number of soldiers are crossing the sea here. If everything goes well, it will not take long to cross the narrow Guanmen Strait. The third batch of thousands of soldiers will land here.

As long as the third batch and the fourth batch of soldiers arrive here one after another, the Japanese will have to retreat. The Japanese will never retreat. Next, a large number of heavy weapons such as armored vehicles, tanks, off-road vehicles will come.

In this position, the soldiers faced a large number of Japanese devils without fear and intensive shooting, firmly blocking the Japanese devils more than 100 meters in front of the position.

In the following battle, the Japanese carried out many charges, but they were unable to break through the soldiers' defense line, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

The situation of the soldiers was much better, the soldiers were not seriously injured, but the ammunition consumption was amazing.

Such a battle started in many places, and the two Japanese masters launched such a group-style large-scale charge on the two and thirty-kilometer-long fronts.

After paying a heavy price, the Japanese not only failed to break through the soldiers' defense line, but on the contrary, not long after the third group of landed soldiers came, the soldiers began to charge back and repelled the Japanese hundreds of meters.

After the arrival of the fourth batch of soldiers, the Japanese devils, who had suffered heavy casualties, had no hope anymore, and the Japanese officers began to order a retreat.

After the Japanese retreated, the soldiers were not in a hurry to pursue, but consolidated their positions and welcomed the arrival of the next group of soldiers.

Two days later, the main forces of the 6th Army and the 11th Army all crossed the Guanmen Strait and entered Honshu, Japan. In addition, the other four armies, except for one left behind Kyushu, the other three armies were also preparing to cross the Guanmen Strait and march towards Honshu in Japan.

Now, the soldiers only occupied Kyushu in Japan, as well as Honshu, Shikoku, Hokkaido and other vast areas, and the Japanese emperor seemed to be determined not to surrender and prepared to fight to the end. The soldiers' combat mission was still very heavy.
