What the soldiers were about to exchange for their lives was just a little fatigue of the Japanese army and some ammunition... This was not only the sorrow of the soldiers, but also the sorrow of the commander who formulated this tactic.

Chapter 2 Attack

The next morning, when it was still dark, we received the order to attack.

"We have a mission!" The Education Commander pointed to the map and said to the company commander of the more than 10 battalion surrounded by him: "The 88th Division suffered heavy casualties for several days in a row. It is our turn to take a breath. The target is the Marine Corps Command of Little Japan. Little Japan has the support of warships and aircraft, and tanks and armored vehicles are very powerful as motorized firepower. Therefore, this attack requires brothers to show their determination to die. The brothers of the 88th Division must not be allowed to look down on us, let alone let the little Japan stare at us. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the soldiers answered in unison, but I was the only one who said silently.

"Company Commander Fang!" The Education Chief seemed to notice this and frowned and said, "What do you have any opinions?"

"Report to the Chief of Education!" I quickly replied, "I dare not say that I have any opinions, but... I just think this battle should not be fought like this. The Japanese have naval guns, tanks, and aircraft as cover. We will rush up like this... except for increasing casualties, there will be no result!"

"I also agree with Company Commander Fang!" Company Commander Xu said seriously: "I don't know how many times better the equipment of the German equipment masters are than us. They are both more capable than us. They can't beat them... We have little chance of conquering..."

"Do you have a better way?" The education chief asked impatiently.

Company Commander Xu and I looked at each other, and finally we had to shake our head helplessly.

"I don't know that our army has no hope of breaking the hostile defense line!" The head of the education officer looked dark and gritted his teeth and said, "But our attack cannot stop now, do you understand? The little Japanese will always be tired and the bullets will always be exhausted... For this, we can only attack continuously and not give the little Japanese a chance to breathe!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel ache. It turned out that what the soldiers were about to exchange for their lives was just a little fatigue of the Japanese army and some ammunition... This was not only the sorrow of the soldiers, but also the sorrow of the commander who formulated this tactic.

However, what can I do? The entire army of the Kuomintang had only a few dozen heavy artillery bought from Germany. As far as I know, these heavy artillery were indeed near Shanghai and were bombing the Japanese strongholds. However, the Japanese had known the data of these heavy artillery for a long time, so the strongholds they built could completely resist the bombing of these heavy artillery. More importantly,... the Germans left a hand when they sold them to the Kuomintang heavy artillery, and they did not sell them to the Kuomintang's incendiary bombs and armor-piercing bombs suitable for bombing solid fortresses.

So we can only use human lives to fill it out, so the military training team can only go to the battlefield...

There were craters, blood and corpses everywhere along the way. The strong smell of blood in the air was almost impossible to breathe... Although we were still recruits who had only been in the team for more than ten days, they were all people who came from the battlefield, so we were mentally prepared for all this. The soldiers without any hesitation and stepped on the corpses.

However, this does not mean that we can bear everything on the battlefield. The team carefully approached the street intersection with the night. I led the soldiers forward for a while and lying towards the bunker. When I lie down to the bunker, I found that these bunkers were all piled up with the corpses of the soldiers... I was so scared that I sat on the ground and kicked my legs and took several steps back!

"Wow..." It was obvious that other soldiers also discovered this. They were already very nervous and couldn't help but vomit it out again.

"Company Commander, are you okay?" Li Wenxi followed from behind and asked in a low voice.

"No, it's okay!" This is not the truth. I almost scared to death just now.

A bunker built with the bodies of comrades... People who are not in the scene cannot understand our mood at that time. This is not just a fear of seeing so many dead people, but also thinking: If we die on the battlefield, will we also become part of this bunker?

"Damn it!" the old squad leader lowered his voice and said, "This German and mechanical master is indeed hard-working, and the battle has reached this level!"

I understand the old squad leader's meaning. We can't stand it just by seeing this bunker made of dead people. What about the soldiers of the 88th Division who fought this battle? They watched their comrades fall down with their own eyes, then built their comrades' bodies into trenches, and then rushed forward with the cover of these trenches, and then used their corpses to become new bunkers... I simply couldn't imagine what kind of heroism it was!

However, at this time I was more worried about one thing: the German equipment was better than ours and was so brave that I could not capture the Japanese stronghold. So, isn’t our military training team equipped with Hanyang rifles hitting stones with eggs?

Taking advantage of the sky that was not yet bright, I slowly emerged from the trenches of the corpse and looked at the Japanese stronghold across the street with awe of the sacrificial German Army soldiers...

This look made me gasp: a "l"-shaped building built along the corner of the street in front of us was not high, with only four floors, but the foundation was wide and thick. Not only was the walls full of steel and concrete structures, important parts were reinforced with steel plates, and the perforations distributed on it were like honeycombs, which could be said to be a steel barrier.

It is obvious that the Japanese army was prepared for today's battle, so from the very beginning, it built this so-called headquarters into a stronghold that can be attacked and defended.

What role can our strong attack play in such a strong stronghold? Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel distressed. The upper peak does not seem to attach importance to the lives of soldiers. You must know that this German-armed division is a model division and a seed for comprehensively improving the quality of the national army. If these troops were allowed to fight against the Japanese army on positions with a small terrain, they would definitely not be worse than the Japanese army or even surpass the Japanese army. However, the upper peak made these heroic soldiers attack such a strong guarantee, wasting their lives so meaninglessly at the guns of the Japanese army...

Just as I was thinking, I heard a few "thumps" sounds, and three red signal flares rose into the sky.

The guns started to sound soon. The 88th Division troops in the rear provided us with artillery cover. However, although they were the most advanced equipment in the national army, they had very little artillery fire. Judging from the intensity and density of the explosion, they were just some mortars and mountain cannons. We saw these shells hit the walls of the opposite building one after another... It should have lost a corner or a big hole with the explosion, but nothing happened after a fire. At best, there was an inconspicuous scar on the wall...

"Brothers! Go!"

It is obvious that the Education Chief hopes to take advantage of the smoke and aftermath of the artillery bombing to get the soldiers as close to the target as possible, so he issued an order to charge before the artillery fire stopped.

A company soldier raised his bayonet without saying a word and jumped up from the cover and shouted and rushed towards the enemy.

The gunshots in the building opposite quickly rang out, and countless perforations flashed with fire and shot out raindrop-like bullets. They blew up rows of charge soldiers like a gust of wind... Then in just a blink of an eye, more than a hundred soldiers in a company fell into a pool of blood!

No wonder the German-Armed Division's troops had to build the bodies of their comrades into bunkers to advance. In this case, only by pushing the corpse step by step forward can we get closer to the enemy's stronghold. However, the Japanese Marine Corps Command is thousands of meters away from us. I don't know if we all turned into corpses... is it enough to spread to the Japanese!

"Go again!" The voice of the chief of education was filled with resentment.

The soldiers first grabbed the rifle and charged, but then threw the guns away, waving their swords and grenades to charge... At this time, the rifle didn't work at all, and we couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy. So before half an hour had it been shot, the entire street was filled with blood and corpses of the soldiers.

"Education Chief!" I hurriedly ran to the Education Chief and shouted: "This is not enough to fight. Even if we all die, we will not be able to rush to the Japanese!"

"You know that this is not possible?" The Education Chief turned around angrily and shouted at me: "If you really know that this is not possible, just think of a fucking solution for me!"

As he said that, he waved his hand and shouted "Go", so another company of soldiers rushed up.

"Boom..." With a series of explosions, the team of soldiers rushed forward and were bombed by Japanese artillery shortly after they rushed forward. It was obvious that the little Japanese had measured the landing point of the shells before the war, so these shells were extremely accurate. We could only watch the soldiers who rushed forward were lifted into the air and then fell heavily to the ground...

Although I am not very sensible in military affairs, I know that the Japanese have not used all their strength at this time. Because their planes and guns have not yet played a role, their armored troops can also appear on my flank to launch a raid on my offensive troops at any time, so I don’t think so at all if I continue to fight like this, but Shangfeng doesn’t think so!

"Report to the Chief of Education!" At this time, a messenger with a head-built steel helmet hurriedly ran up and said, "The Chairman has an order to stop the attack!"
