Chapter 27: The Difficult to Stop the Battle of Northern Jiangsu

"Hurry up... send all the wounded to the field hospital..." The 12th Division, which was withdrawn, was very panicked, and the wounded were carried down one by one.

"Teacher Commander, our troops have killed 6,100 people, seriously injured 1,200 people, and slightly injured 7,800 people." The statistician came to Wang Meng and reported the casualties of the headquarters to him. The huge casualties shocked everyone. More than 20,000 people in the 12th Division have suffered nearly two-thirds of the casualties this time, and it can be said that they have been crippled.

"But we can't blame us for being killed by one quarter of the battle. My 12th Division has tried all our strength." Wang Meng was very angry about the defeat, but when he returned to the rear, he realized how much damage the hand-to-hand combat had for his troops for several hours. Although he knew that the Japanese army would not have few casualties, it would definitely not be as big as the Iron Blood Army.

"The little Japanese has a very high combat effectiveness." As the commander-in-chief of this front, Li Ran was not expected to have enough losses in trench warfare. He originally thought that he could withstand the Japanese army's attack by one day, but unexpectedly, in less than a day, the 12th Division suffered losses of up to one brigade and hundreds of trenches. Whether someone could defend it in the later stage was a big problem.

"Yes, the front line is getting worse and worse. Our artillery group has been suppressed now. After all, there are too many artillery guns in the Japanese army, and they are more accurate than us. After two days of fighting, they suffer casualties. In addition to some field artillery artillery, heavy artillery can also exert their power." Hu Bin's 13th Division is responsible for the second-level defense line, but the artillery group is half-dead, and the Japanese army has sufficient artillery fire. Although the mortar can provide some support, how powerful can a small 60-caliber shell have? What's more, the shells fired from the mortars are low at the initial velocity, and their power is even less than that of other people's field artillery. In other words, they will be hit by double-sided attacks by Japanese ground armed forces and artillery in the future.

"Team Commander Hu, if you can't resist it, you will retreat to the trenches in the rear. Anyway, there are so many trenches to use. I don't believe that the Japanese artillery shells are endless." Li Ran knew that the defense line troops are under great pressure now, and facing enemy artillery fire and superior forces, the strategic tasks of each division are very difficult.

"Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, the Third Division is not a coward, and he will definitely hold on until the mission is over." Hu Bin knew that the commanders are worried that the front line will not be able to resist the defeat, so he immediately made a statement.

The morning sun shone on the northern part of Jiangsu, and the battlefield was filled with the smoke of yesterday. The Japanese troops were ready to go, and the artillery group was ready. Although they lost more than 200 artillery after two days of fierce fighting with the Chinese artillery group, they must have a large number. Now they have the advantage of artillery, Yuzawa Ueda is more confident to quickly defeat the five defense lines of the Iron Blood Army.

"Order the imperial artillery group to suppress the enemy's frontier positions." Ueda Yuzawa, the Iron Blood Army, who lacked artillery, already thought that it was the fat in his mouth. At the end of the shelling, the attack would be smoother.

Japanese artillery fired the guns and shots instantly landed on the front line. The soldiers of the 13th Division had long had experience and lay on the ground to avoid artillery attacks. Sometimes there was no battlefield for the training to make the soldiers learn. These recruits had learned basic knowledge of registration on the battlefield in the past two days of battle.

The artillery that seemed unable to dodge appeared to bombard the trenches and the Japanese army was ready to attack at any time in the first trenches.

"I'm the real murderer of the Japanese's cannons." He pushed the soil on his head, climbed out of the trenches, and secretly scolded the Japanese's cannons for being fierce. After a round of cannons, the dust and smoke rolled on the front line. Many troops in the trenches were buried alive by the dust, but there was no life-threatening danger.

"Don't call the Japanese up and come up. Brothers are ready, don't embarrass our 13th Division." The commanders and battalions of the 13th Division on the front line encouraged the soldiers around them, and all positions were preparing to resist the Japanese army.

"It's still an old routine, but we have no choice." Seeing the Japanese army digging the trench passage again, Hu Bin was both angry and helpless, and the passage here was much shorter than the first trench. After all, the first and second trenches were only ten meters apart, and the enemy could rush over in less than half an hour. It was difficult for the Iron Blood Army to set up heavy machine guns.

"Teacher Commander, waiting like this is not a solution. It is not good for the Japanese army to attack our army together." Zhang Yuan, the brigade commander of the first brigade, pointed to the first front occupied by the Japanese army not far away, where the Japanese army was digging passages, and there were still many enemy troops preparing to charge. If they continued to defend here like this, what would be waiting for them would be more violent battles and defeats than the 12th Division.

"But what to do? Now that we can only defend the enemy to the death, maybe we can organize a certain force to counterattack, but how much casualties will it take?" Hu Bin thought about counterattack, but the loss was too great and too fast. Facing the elite Japanese army with a majority of people, even if the forces of the five divisions were combined, they were not their opponents in the front. Although the Iron Blood Army has always won every battle, they were not arrogant under Deng Sen's strict order. They understood the gap between them and the great powers. Facing the Japanese army with more than 100,000 people, Cang Promotion's decisive battle was an act of seeking death.

"No division commander, unlike yesterday's night, it is daytime now. If our army retreats, the Japanese army will likely directly break through our second defense line with artillery and infantry pursuit, so there must be an army left to block the enemy." Zhang Yuan's tone was firm. As a member of the Iron Blood Party who is loyal to the country and nation, he felt that he had the obligation to protect hard-won achievements.

"I want to ask the commander-in-chief" question was almost awakened. Yesterday, the 12th Division retreated at night. The Japanese army was not prepared and was repelled by his 13th Division. With artillery fire suppression during the day, can the 14th Division behind repel the Japanese attack?

Li Ran, who was patrolling the third-level front, put his hands behind him, looking at the front position, what Hu Bin said made him feel confused. If the Japanese defeated the 13th Division and then attacked the 14th Division, plus a large-scale artillery bombardment, although it cannot be said that the entire front would be broken, at least the two fronts in the latter would not survive. However, Zhang Yuan's opinion was to throw away at least half of the soldiers of more than half of the brigade. Even though they were proud and unwilling to sacrifice for the party, government and nation, they still made him extremely embarrassed to decide the life and death of thousands of people in one sentence.

He thought for a long time until the Japanese army launched an offensive and looked at the Iron Blood Army soldiers fighting desperately with the enemy on the battlefield, he nodded and said, "When each division retreats, there is a brigade's blocking force. The troops behind will naturally provide cover when the evacuation is completed."

"Kill..." The trenches between China and Japan were too close, and they could rush to the other's trenches in just a few seconds. Therefore, they had launched fierce hand-to-hand combat in the trenches at the beginning. This was a big loophole that the Iron Blood Army had committed. In order to support each other, they deliberately placed the distance between the fronts so close, but now they were just a chance to take advantage of the Japanese army.

"Kill for... ten thousand years..." The Japanese soldiers shouted the battle slogan. Although the slogan made other countries feel a little painful, they rushed over and fought with the Iron Blood Army with a desperate attempt. This was simply not a modern war, and there was no difference between fighting cold weapons. The shooting range between the two trenches was only ten meters, and they rushed to the other side in two or three steps.

"Brothers, kill, you can't be below." The officers of the guards of the 13th Division of the Iron Blood Army knew that they were inside the trenches and the enemy was above the trenches, and they were the ones who suffered the loss. They all jumped out of the trenches and fought with the Japanese army with bayonets.

"kill……"

"ah……"

The hand-to-hand combat between the two armies, and it is a hand-to-hand combat that generally does not occur, breaking out between China and Japan. If Western powers see it, they will definitely feel incredible. This is almost no different from the era of cold weapons. Both sides rely on temporary courage to fight.

On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides of China and Japan were mixed together, and the sound of bayonets entering the flesh kept making noises. A soldier screamed in sarcasm, but after just a moment, he was drowned in the sea of ​​people. As long as he fell to the ground, they had absolutely no chance of survival, because on the chaotic battlefield, as long as he fell down, even if he was not fatal, he would be trampled to death by soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us.

"The Japanese army retreated, retreated" For an hour, both sides fought on the ten-meter open space in the middle of the trenches. Until the end, layers of corpses had accumulated on it. Invisibly, it seemed that the trench had been deepened by one or two meters, and all the soldiers stepped on the corpses and fought.

"We didn't imagine that the Bagachina dared to rush out to fight us, but they had no choice but to retreat next time they attacked." Ueda Yuzawa smiled as he spoke. The military strength of the ** team in this level has been almost exhausted, and he will definitely break it when the second charge is completed.

The Chinese and Japanese armies began to clean up the bodies again. In front of the ten-mile trenches, the bodies were moved back to each other and Hu Bin was already trembling slightly.

"Three thousand,700 people were killed and the Japanese army was expected to suffer about 2,000 casualties." The statistics of the statisticians made Hu Bin unable to calm down. In just three hours of battle, he actually lost more regiments. This is because the Japanese army did not increase its troops. If the Japanese army increased its troops, his 13th Division might be half-destroyed.

Hu Bin was upset and knew that he could not stop it. The Japanese army would definitely send more soldiers to the future and could not continue to fight like this.

Two hours later, the Japanese army had lunch and gathered again. This time the troops were more powerful. The forces of the two divisions gathered in the trenches, densely packed, and the sharp bayonet flashed intimidated everyone who wanted them.

"Kill and give it to..." The horn of battle was sent out again, and the Japanese army rushed towards him...

Well, this period of time has been decadent and subscription is so scammed. Everyone is very proud. Today is the end of the month, everyone is very proud. Next month, it will definitely be three updates a day.
