The 19th Brigade suffered 5,000 rounds of bombardment in the one hour long bombardment. More than 800 people were killed, 1,300 were seriously injured, and countless were lightly injured. The Nineteenth Brigade only had 7,000 soldiers, but less than 6,000 of them were still able to fight.
"Charge!"
Roars filled the mountains and plains, even more deafening than the sound of cannons.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
The 20mm machine guns were like heavy hammers, sending dust flying into the air and making the Japanese soldiers tremble in fear.
"Teng Tong!"
The MG-42's unique machine gun sound became a death wish. It was both powerful and light, and only two soldiers were needed to serve it, so it could almost be brought along with the team.
Even if they couldn't coordinate with the infantry and cannons, the suffocating firepower was enough to help the soldiers of the Sixth Army annihilate the 19th Brigade.
"Everyone, mount your bayonet and prepare for a hand-to-hand battle!!”
Seeing that the enemy was about to charge into the camp, the captain decisively ordered the bayonet to be fixed and prepared for close combat.
" Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Bang!"
The captain, who was the first to rush out of the trench, did not receive the treatment that a samurai should have. A pistol bullet accurately hit his forehead, causing him to die in peace.
Only when one was crazy on the battlefield would one pay attention to the Bushido spirit, let alone when facing the Japanese pirates who did not pay attention to the Bushido spirit.
"Tututu, tututu!"
The positions of the precision shooters and assaulters quickly changed, and when the group of pirates with the 38 covers realized that there were nearly 10,000 submachine guns aimed at them, it was too late.
The distance of less than ten meters had actually become an insurmountable barrier. The Japanese pirates who left their cover became the best living targets. The Somi submachine gun with a firing speed of 800 per minute would show them what a difference in weapons was!
"Brigade commander, the front line has been lost, and the second line has not been completed yet.”
"Baka! How could the Japanese locust army retreat?! Send the reserve troops up..."
"Report! A large number of troops have appeared behind us. There are more than 5,000 of them, and they are moving towards us at high speed!”
"Nani? How could a Chinese move so fast?!”
"Exploration team…"
"Swish ~~~"
"Not good! Protect the regiment commander!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Old Sun, I feel like I've hit a big fish this time.”
"Old Liang, it would be good if even a tenth of our ammo hits the target.”
Although Sun Weiguo was a clone, he also had flesh and blood, his own thoughts and soul. Other than being completely loyal to Wang Qiangguo, he was no different from a normal person.
"My intuition has always been accurate. Let's just wait for the reward.”
On the battlefield, the enemy's second line of defense had already been lost, but the order to retreat had yet to arrive. This caused the various regiments to panic, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in their command.
"Report! He was still unable to contact the Exploration Team Department.”
"Commander, we can't wait any longer. We can't leave quickly.”
The exploration team's headquarters failed to convey the news of the surprise attack to the other regiments and was destroyed by the sudden attack of howitzer shells. This forced the two infantry regiments to fight on their own, completely unaware that they were already trapped.
"Sigh, let's retreat."
At that moment, Captain Katagiri felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He knew that none of his men were cowards. They were true warriors of the empire. However, in the face of such a huge difference in weapons and equipment, courage paled in comparison.
The continuous bombardment of field artillery and howitzers had caused their morale to drop, and they suffered heavy casualties. The firepower of the machine guns, machine guns, and sniper rifles during the charge had actually made the soldiers in the camp unable to raise their heads. It was not easy to get close combat, but the pistols and submachine guns were replaced again. The polished bayonet suddenly became a useless fruit knife.
The invincible Lu Hang was afraid. The cannons that they were proud of were all destroyed. The samurai spirit that they respected had become useless trash. Everything was pressed to the ground by advanced weapons.
"Commander, there are still many soldiers fighting with the Chinese people at the second line of defense…"
"Baka! Was he going to sacrifice an entire regiment just to save them?! This was a great opportunity for them to sacrifice themselves for the emperor.”
"Hey!"
"Report! Report!"
"Baka! You are an outstanding soldier of the Great Wei Pirates and Locust Army, how can you be so flustered?!”
The regiment commander, who had nowhere to vent his anger, slapped the messenger hard, causing him to fall to the ground and spit out two teeth.
"Hey! A large number of enemy troops have appeared behind us, and our original retreat route has been sealed.”
"Nani?"
Captain Katagiri seemed to have gone mad as he pulled out the map from the adjutant's backpack, completely ignoring the fact that he had already torn the map in half. His bloodshot eyes stared at the map, desperately looking for a chance to survive. Unfortunately, he only became more desperate.
"It's over! It was all over! The 19th Brigade is finished!"
The nearest troop would take another four hours to arrive, but they only had about 2,000 people left. They were surrounded by more than 30,000 people. They were already in a hopeless situation.
"Order, split up into small teams and break out of the encirclement. Nozawa-kun, please take the flag with you.”
"Your Excellency…Take care!"
The 9th Regiment was destined to be wiped out. Even if Katagiri Morihiro, the Regiment Commander, managed to get out alive, he would not have a good ending. It was better to clear his mind with death. At least his family would not be implicated.
