The 20,000-strong 2nd Brigade had lost 6,000 men to the artillery.
In the first wave of ambushes from the 1st Battalion and the Scouting Battalion, nearly 2,000 people were wiped out.
With the chaotic situation, the 1st Battalion and the Scout Battalion continued to fire, and the number of Japanese casualties continued to increase.
The battle had just begun, and the 2nd Brigade had already lost close to 10,000 soldiers.
The remaining 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers might not even be able to defeat the 1st Battalion and the recon battalion, which were almost all equipped with Type 95 automatic rifles. Moreover, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Regiment had the geographical advantage.
Coupled with the fact that the Japanese were unable to command and launch a full counterattack, the scales of victory were already tilting in the direction of the Self-Defense Forces.
Of course, if they had followed Zhang Qian's instructions, the victory might not have been so great.
After all, Zhang Qian couldn't predict everything.
Fortunately, the commanders of the 1st Battalion and the Recon Battalion had decisively chosen to lay in ambush instead of attacking from the rear of the canyon.
This minimized the losses of the 1st Battalion and the recon battalion.
Just as the fierce battle was going on in the canyon, Chu Yunfei, who was at the entrance of the canyon, did not see the Japanese attack. He combined everything that had just happened, including the battle that was happening in the canyon, and analyzed the situation of the battlefield.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that if he did not attack, he would not have anything to do with this ambush.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei directly shouted to his subordinates,"Everyone! Prepare your weapons and follow the path that was reserved in advance. Attack the One-Line-Sky! As long as you encounter the Japanese, destroy them immediately!”
After receiving Chu Yunfei's order, the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion started to attack One-Line-Sky in an orderly manner like a war beast.
When the 1st Battalion and the Recon Battalion who were fighting saw Chu Yunfei's 3rd Battalion joining in, they all let out a sigh of relief.
They knew very well that with the addition of the 3rd Battalion, the Japanese would have no chance of survival!
The battle had been decided!
Seeing that the situation was clear, the commander of the 1st Battalion thought for a moment and shouted to the commander of the recon battalion,"The regiment commander said that we should return to Liu 'an County as soon as possible after the battle in Frontline Sky. I think the county must be under siege by the enemy. Our 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion will stay here to clean up the mess. Once we are done, we will return as soon as possible. Why don't you guys go back first? You must ensure the safety of the Guild Leader!"
After the recon battalion commander heard this, he looked at the situation below.
Knowing that there was not much use for his troops to stay here, he replied,""Alright, I'll leave this place to you. I'll bring my men back to support Guild Leader!"
"Good! Don't worry!"
······················
Just as the commander of the 1st Battalion had said, Liu An County was currently under heavy fire from the enemy.
Because they had to pass through mountain roads, some of the large anti-aircraft guns could not be transported.
However, he had enough of the heavy machine guns and the lighter mortars.。
Facing the Japanese's artillery fire, the entire Second Battalion that stayed behind paid a painful price.
If it wasn't for the 10 Gatling Guns that were equipped beforehand to resist the enemy's attack, they might have already been defeated by the Japanese.
Three thousand against nearly twenty thousand.
Moreover, it was a war with firearms. Even if Sun Wu was alive, he might not be able to turn the situation around.
The reason why they were able to win the battle in Frontline Sky was because the geographical environment of Frontline Sky was too suitable for ambushing and defending.
Not to mention now, even in ancient times, this was a place that Jun clan used well.
Back when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, there was a battle here.
It could be said that such a battle was impossible to replicate.
Although Liu An County City had a city as a defensive bunker, the current war was not like the ancient times.
A wall could decide many things.
There were many cases where an army of 100,000 could surround and attack a city for a year without being able to take it.
In the era of firearms, there was nothing that artillery shells could not solve.
They watched as their own soldiers died under the Japanese's guns. There were so many young men who had never enjoyed anything the country had brought them in their lives, but they were here to protect the country with their lives.
Zhang Qian felt extremely aggrieved.
However, he also knew that to achieve his strategic goal, this situation would definitely happen.
They could only stall the troops here to buy time for Frontline Sky.
Only when they won would they have a chance to win this war.
What Zhang Qian could see, the 30,000 Chinese viewers watching the live broadcast could also see.
They were the same as Zhang Qian. They were all Chinese, and they knew how much of a blow that tragic era had been to China.
Some of the soldiers carrying guns were even younger than their sons.
Every time they saw a soldier's head being crushed, every time they saw a soldier die under the enemy's artillery fire. If they didn't see an innocent civilian die in the explosion, everyone would tremble in fear.

The Dog that Loves Fish: Although I was punished by my wife to kneel on the washboard last time, I promise I won't tip you again. However, looking at this scene, he felt really aggrieved. As a Chinese person, he had to witness the tragedy of this era again. He was already an adult, but he still wanted to f * cking cry.艹! Kneel then! Now that someone from China has returned, can the Japanese bully us again? However, streamer, kill them!
