    And after tonight¡¯s battle, there will be more corpses on this land.  Like those autumn leaves withering on the ground.

    The sound of raindrops made the footsteps of the Japanese army become inaudible as they marched.

    The person responsible for the frontline command of this battle was Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda.

    In the telescope, he could only see the outline of the distant position.  The position on the opposite side was completely silent, and even the lights could not be found on the position.

    "If he hadn't been convinced that the enemy would definitely stick to that position, then Isoda Saburo would have thought that the enemy had already retreated from the position.

    Drenched in the cool autumn rain, they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's frontal position.

    At this time, in the position occupied by the Fourth Army, all the soldiers remained silent, motionless like sculptures in the rain.

    They are all waiting for the signal flare to be launched. When the red signal flare takes off, they will start to raise the flare into the sky.

    In fact, the distance between them and the leading Japanese troops is less than 100 meters.

    If it had been during the day, the two sides would have already been engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.  But in this rainy night, they couldn't see each other's existence at all.

    The soldiers of the special reconnaissance battalion can clearly see the existence of these enemies through various advanced night combat equipment.

    "Inform the military immediately that the enemy is less than a hundred meters away from the position." said the soldier in charge of the investigation.

    After Xia Yang heard this, he continued: "When the enemy reaches a distance of about thirty meters, attack them again."

    "yes!!"

    The scout immediately responded on the walkie-talkie, and then continued to wait for the Japanese army to advance.

    Xia Yang wanted to catch these Japanese troops off guard so that they had no time to react and suffered the most ferocious firepower at close range.

    In terms of infantry firepower configuration, the Fourth Army absolutely crushed the Japanese army.

    The large number of heavy machine guns equipped by the Fourth Army alone can guarantee an absolute firepower advantage over the Japanese army.

    Saburo Isoda looked at the backs of his soldiers and slowly disappeared into the night.  But the enemy didn't seem to notice it at all.

    He began to feel that perhaps the division commander's decision to let them launch the attack at night was quite correct.

    These enemies who have been fighting for a day are also very tired.  So I let my guard down at night.

    But at this moment, a whistling sound came from in front of them.

    Saburo Isoda raised his head and saw more than a dozen flares rising in the front position, illuminating the entire front.

    At the same time, along with these flares, there was also a red signal flare.

    It was only at this time that the advancing Japanese troops saw the dark muzzles of their guns pointed at them less than thirty meters in front of them.

    Behind the muzzles were pairs of dark eyes, staring at him in the autumn rain.

    ¡°Fire!!!¡±

    Loud roars came from the front position, and then the Japanese soldiers saw flames spraying out from the black muzzles of their guns.

    ¡°Da da da!!¡± ¡°Bang bang bang!!!¡± ¡°Boom!! Boom!!¡±

    The intense gunfire was like the sound of firecrackers celebrating the New Year, and the violent explosions from the grenades that kept falling next to the Japanese troops seemed to set the entire display on fire.

    Those Japanese soldiers who were very close to the position had no time to react. They were defeated by the dense bullets and grenades that kept falling beside them.

    "Charge!!!" Saburo Isoda saw that their night attack had been discovered. Instead of retreating, he continued to yell and asked his soldiers to charge forward.

    Those Japanese soldiers, facing the falling autumn rain and the bullets hitting them like raindrops, rushed forward crazily.

    At this time, they were almost in close combat, and of course they would not choose to retreat.  Instead, they held their bayonets and fired while charging on the muddy ground.

    But the fire network of light and heavy machine guns was like a wall that could not be broken through, blocking their way forward.

    A large number of Japanese soldiers were hit by bullets, then fell to the ground and rolled down from the high ground.

      In just a few minutes, the Japanese army had already piled up a large number of corpses in front.

    Those corpses piled up on the position could not even allow the subsequent troops to continue to advance.  Only by climbing over the mountains of corpses could we see the enemy's position.

    At the same time, the two Japanese regiments on the flanks also encountered Li Yunlong's independent regiment and Ding Wei's new regiment.

    The situation they encountered was similar to that of the Japanese army in a frontal attack.

    Originally, the two Japanese regiments thought that if they launched an attack in such a vast area, the enemy would inevitably have loopholes in their defense.

    What they didn¡¯t expect was that all the locations where they attacked would be garrisoned by the enemy.  Moreover, the enemy's firepower was fierce enough to suppress them directly from the front.

    In the rain, Suematsu Shigeshi, holding an umbrella, used a telescope to look at the explosion of fire and the light of flares in the distance.

    Because it was in the dark, he couldn't clearly see the battle ahead.  They could only listen to the constant telegrams reporting on the progress of each attacking force at this time.

    But what was different from Suematsu Shigeshi¡¯s expectation was that the enemy seemed to be well prepared for their night attack.  The night attack troops they prepared on the front and flanks failed to find any loopholes in the enemy's defense.

    At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely in the rainy night. Although Suematsu Shigeshi was anxious, he could not give them command because he did not understand the battle situation ahead. He could only rely on Saburo Isoda to command the Japanese attack.

    The three Japanese regiments repeatedly attacked Xia Yang and their positions. In just two hours, they launched five attacks.

    But no matter if Isoda Saburo organized an attack, they could not make any breakthrough. Instead, they left behind pieces of corpses in front of the enemy's position.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
