Chapter 500 The position changed hands
Yin immediately said to the person beside him: Pay attention to the Japanese grenades. The purpose of the Japanese approaching us is likely to be to make sufficient preparations for their throws, and we must prevent them.
As soon as Yin finished speaking, the soldiers in the front row also began to prepare grenades, intending to fight against the Japanese army head-on. However, they did not know that such a situation would put too much pressure on the frontier positions. Who would use this life-for-life practice to exchange for life Yin now has to do it. If the Japanese army is allowed to form a centralized throw, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, the Japanese army seemed to have eaten the weight and were determined to approach the frontier position. The tanks behind them were covering more and more powerful. The frontier positions seemed to have become a minefield of explosions, filled with explosions, and the smoke everywhere was like people proving that a fierce battle was taking place here and both sides were fighting with all their strength.
The Japanese artillery fire was too fierce. We all lost three heavy machine gun fortifications. We could not form an effective threat to the Japanese army. A soldier said anxiously. The more the Japanese wanted to do this, the less we could let them succeed. There were brothers from the three regiments next to us who were helping the guards. Now I will concentrate grenades for me. Wait for the Japanese to get angry with them. I still don’t believe it. How arrogant is this little Japanese can be. Yin spat and said viciously. It is not easy for a literati to be taken to this.
The soldiers on the frontier positions began to teleport grenades. Each of the soldiers in the first row of fortifications was holding more than ten grenades and grenades and other weapons. Now they were waiting for the Japanese army to approach the twenty-meter area to give a feast to the Japanese. Of course, the Japanese did not have a good meal. This may be a competition of great casualties between each other.
Under the leadership of the guard, Yin quickly arrived at the position of the Third Regiment. At this time, Yin said to the leader of the Third Regiment: Brother, it is very dangerous here now. I will see if the brothers of the Third Regiment retreat to the second line of defense first and temporarily avoid it, so that our brothers of the First Regiment and the Second Regiment can perform without any scruples.
The third regiment commander smiled and said: What is Yin's do you say? Our mission is to help you guard the frontier positions. If you ask us to retreat, the military commander won't even strip me of my skin.
Yin wanted to say something, but the third regiment commander said again: Don't worry, Yin, we will never interfere in your actions. We will fill your gaps when necessary. We will stay behind now.
Since everyone said that, Yin had no choice but to nodded in agreement. At this moment, the Japanese army was only forty meters away from the frontier position. At this time, the power of the tank was completely revealed. This time, the Japanese army would rather protect their tanks at the cost of casualties. Yin ordered the suicide squad to charge twice but returned without success. Wu Yaojia thought that she was rejected by Yin the last time.
Yin found that the Japanese army's actions seemed to be determined. At this time, it was difficult to reverse the decline with the strength of a person alone. Now he could only rely on the terrain to defend their positions. The first row of soldiers similar to suicide squads in the Japanese army also crawled forward. It just so happened that they had the cover of tanks and heavy machine guns behind them. At this moment, the front-line positions seemed to be in danger.
The Japanese army was led by a second lieutenant. This time, he received the death order from the regiment captain to throw all the grenades on them into the positions of the Chinese army at all costs. The lethality of such a close distance would be great. If it were not done, the Japanese army could really break through the first line of defense in a short time. If this was the case, it would be wonderful. The first day of the attack broke through the defense.
If Seishiro Itagaki took the first line of defense on the first day, then the confidence of the entire Itagaki Division will rise. A confident army will naturally be invincible. Of course, the Itagaki Division also knows that the frontier positions of the Chinese army can only come slowly. Is it realistic to eat a bite into a fat man? Of course, even if you take the frontier positions, what is waiting for them is still full of anger.
As soon as the Japanese lieutenant approached the frontier position, he began his grenade plan. At the same time, other Japanese troops followed this lieutenant. For a moment, there was a thunder shaking inside the frontier position, and the entire ground felt shaking. Of course, the Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese army would actually use this tactic similar to death with them.
Rows of grenades began to come to the sky towards the Japanese army. The first wave of Japanese troops rushed forward was soon submerged on the front line. The corpses piled up in front of them were like mountains. Many Japanese soldiers even used their companions' corpses to escape. Of course, there were still very few lucky people.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the soldiers of this regiment and the Second regiment now showed the momentum that the Chinese people should have. They began to frequently launch suicide-style attacks with the Japanese army. The number of people was exchanged. The Japanese army and the first regiment and the second regiment basically did not get any advantage. At this moment, the two sides basically didn't know the fear of death.
However, as the fortifications of the frontier positions became more and more serious, the Japanese army still had the advantage, and they achieved their goals step by step. The frontier positions Seishiro Ichigaki were determined to win, because he knew that the second line of defense was much more difficult than the first line of defense, and the first line of defense must be taken down as soon as possible
Time passed by minute by minute until evening, although the Japanese army was advancing, they were always blocked outside the frontier positions and could no longer go further. As the sky gradually became dark, the Japanese army's attack gradually weakened from the initial high intensity to the end they began to retreat slowly, but they tasted the sweetness of such an attack.
In Seishiro Itagaki's view, if the frontier position continues like this, it will definitely be able to be taken down within a few days. It's just a matter of time. After a large number of frontier position fortifications have been destroyed, the value of the frontier position has become smaller and smaller. This is all expected by both sides, but there is a huge hidden danger hidden in the frontier position, and Seishiro Itagaki's heart is also very entangled.
On the first day of the attack, the death toll of the Japanese army on the entire three lines actually reached as many as 7,000. In just one day, the losses of the Japanese army reached an incalculable level. Although they were mentally prepared, they were twitching violently when they saw this ending. The death toll of the 318th Army exceeded 4,500, and the death toll of the veterans reached 1,500, and the death toll of the soldiers reached more than 3,000. The price of nearly 5,000 also cast a shadow on the battle.
In the next three days, although the Japanese army's offensive was still very fierce, the Japanese army, who had mastered the rules, deliberately concentrated their forces to attack. This casualties instantly reduced a lot, especially since they now focused the entire attack on the North City Gate, so the battle at the North City Gate was the most intense among the three days, but the death toll did not exceed two thousand people in the total of these three days. The Japanese army deliberately controlled their death toll. Although the effect was not very significant, at least in their opinion, this was also a kind of victory that was fought to the end. It was naturally the advantage of the number of people and the advantage of weapons and equipment.
Although the war between the two city gates in the southeast seemed quite fierce, it was an illusion created by the Japanese bombing. In fact, the death toll of China and Japan in the two city gates in the southeast did not exceed 2,000 in the total number of deaths in the three-day period. Yao Ziqing and Zhang Deen responded very easily to the situation in front of them. They also knew at the meeting that the greatest pressure had become the North City Gate.
It can be said that the North City Gate is under pressure from almost three city gates. The Japanese army also intends to use the North City Gate to open a gap and finally seize the entire Tongcheng. At this moment, the defense level of the North City Gate is much higher than that of the other two city gates. The heavy artillery in the field has been equipped on the city gate tower of the North City Gate, which is also to prevent the final accident.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, five Japanese tanks suddenly exerted force, and with the cooperation of infantry, they broke through the first line of defense of the position in front of them. The Japanese army started their attack with this as a support. As the Japanese army continued to increase troops, Wu Peilin finally ordered the soldiers of the frontier positions to withdraw to the second line of defense. At this moment, the frontier positions were truly lost.
Of course, all this was expected by Wu Peilin. The fortifications of the frontier positions were severely destroyed, and the heavy machine gun fortifications were almost all destroyed by the Japanese army using tanks. In other words, their weapons that could threaten the Japanese army were destroyed by the Japanese army, and the position in front of them had been dragged for nearly a week. It was already quite good. You know that the Japanese tanks were still very powerful.
Seeing the Japanese army occupying the frontier positions like victory, Wu Peilin just sneered in his heart. Obviously, the Japanese army learned a lesson this time. They only left a tank on the frontier positions. The Japanese army, who had just rushed into the frontier positions, were digging something down. Of course, Wu Peilin knew what they were digging. They wanted to dig out the minefield.
