    Since there is no way to guess which machine gun bunker the enemy will appear from next, it is better to destroy every machine gun bunker.

    Those Japanese soldiers could only organize their troops again and began to blast those machine gun bunkers one by one according to the new orders.

    "But there were dozens of machine gun bunkers, and they realized it just after blowing up a few.  If the blasting continues like this, I am afraid that before these machine gun bunkers are cleared by them, my side will probably be destroyed directly.

    After all, under the simultaneous firing of seven or eight machine guns, these Japanese soldiers would suffer heavy casualties every minute.  I'm afraid that before they finish blasting all these machine gun bunkers, everyone on their side will be killed by machine guns.

    Helpless, the Japanese squadron leader could only give an order to move closer to the central troops.

    On the other side, another Japanese squadron responsible for the roundabout also encountered the same dilemma.

    They cannot clear out all the machine gun bunkers, so they can only be cleared out by those machine gunners who are like gophers.

    But when they got close to the main force, life was not easy for those who sent the central troops.

    Because they were being attacked from both the rear and the front at the same time, the fire network formed from the two directions was intertwined, making it very difficult for them to stand up and move.

    In the woods, the screams of Japanese soldiers can be heard everywhere.

    Fujishige felt that there seemed to be enemy fire points everywhere in this forest.  There are people firing cold guns everywhere, and there are bullets everywhere that can kill them.

    The attacking troops in front of them encountered unprecedented obstacles and were completely unable to break through the dense fire network.  In just half an hour, nearly a hundred corpses were dropped in front.

    Such a loss was unacceptable to Fujishige. He immediately began to call for support from Honda Masato in the rear, hoping that the reserve wing in the rear could move closer to them to support their actions.

    Honda Masato received a request for help from Fujishige, and he knew that the situation was much worse than he expected.

    So he immediately asked another regiment to immediately start supporting Fujishige Masato's 17th Regiment.  Almost as soon as Fujishige's call for help from the regiment was hung up, Takeshi Ohara, the Japanese 8th regiment attacking another mountain, also called.

    But Takeshi Ohara was not asking for help, but asking for a retreat because their troops had been scattered.  More than two thousand people were scattered throughout the mountains, but they couldn't get together.

    These scattered teams are basically designed to pursue and attack their small 124th brigade troops.  As a result, after being chased out, he could not come back.

    ?? Takeshi Ohara felt that in this situation, even if the troops from the rear came to support, it would only increase casualties, because they could not even figure out the specific location of the enemy.

    The only thing that is certain is that the top of the mountain is the enemy's main position.  But they couldn't break through the main position.  It is also wishful thinking to want to attack from the flank.  The troops sent to make a roundabout way were directly dispersed halfway, and only half of them were left when they came back. The other half were killed and wounded, or they pursued the enemy but did not return.

    The troops supporting the 17th Regiment set off soon.  But as soon as they stepped onto the mountain, there was a sudden violent explosion.

    ??????????????? Two jumping mines were detonated.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????  All the Japanese troops within this range were killed and injured by these small steel balls.

    In the two explosion areas, the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground covered their cheeks and screamed wildly.  The small steel balls that flew out hit their cheeks, forming small black holes one after another, like a hornet's nest.

    These injured soldiers actually caused greater combat attrition to the Japanese army.  Because a soldier is injured, at least two healthy soldiers are needed to transport him to the rear, which is equivalent to three people losing their combat ability.

    "Engineers!! Clear mines!!! Clear mines!!" the commander at the front of the Japanese army shouted.

    He felt a little strange, because when the troops of the 17th Regiment went up, there were no landmines in these areas.  Why did these mines appear when it was their turn?

    In fact, these landmines were placed by the soldiers who had just emerged from the tunnel.  Most of the mines they laid were simply buried on top of the scorched earth that had been blasted away.

    Because of the Japanese shelling, the soil that was lifted up by the shells reflected?It makes it easier for them to lay mines.

    As for some trip mines, the layout is relatively simple.  Connecting the two mines with a thin wire, and then turning on the warhead can have a very good killing effect.

    There are more than 100 soldiers responsible for laying mines. There are three main areas where they lay mines, which is basically guaranteed to cover their support routes.

    If you want to take a detour and go up from the flanking mountains, it will take more than half an hour longer than going up here, and the road there is not easy to walk. If you encounter a blocking force, it will definitely take more time.

    So we can only choose to let engineers start demining.

    When these engineers identify a minefield, they will mark it with white ash to remind the soldiers behind to avoid it.  But in this case, the speed of support will be lost.

    The support that originally took more than 20 minutes to arrive was delayed to an hour.

    Fujishige waited for a long time, but no reinforcements came. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, Division Commander, where are our reinforcements? It should only take twenty minutes for them to rush up."  Well, it¡¯s been more than thirty minutes now, why haven¡¯t you seen the shadow yet?¡±

    Honda Masaicai said: "They they are clearing mines and will be there soon. You just need to hold on for another half an hour." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
