    Following Li Guoyao¡¯s order, 12 anti-aircraft machine guns from the first battalion of the air defense regiment were transferred to the front-line positions, six each on the southern and eastern fronts!

    At this time, the Japanese offensive troops were less than 100 meters away from the defenders' defense line. The two sides shot at each other across the trenches, each suffering casualties!

    The Japanese grenadiers were showing off their power at this time, and grenades were continuously fired at the defenders' positions. The defenders' open-air firepower points were named one by one, and the losses were considerable.

    However, just when the little devil was about to rush into the defender's position, he heard a crisp "bang" sound suddenly coming from the defender's position, and then he saw the soldiers squatting on the ground manipulating grenades.  One by one they fell to the ground.

    Forget it, what frightened the Japanese army the most was that whether the grenade launchers were killed or injured, their wounds were all holes as big as bowls.

    Those who died in battle were fine, they were already dead, but those who were injured were miserable, and each of them could only watch themselves bleed to death.

    It is impossible to treat such a huge wound, so once injured, you can only quietly enjoy death!

    Death is not scary, the scary thing is waiting for death!

    For a time, the Japanese frontline positions were filled with tragic howls, which greatly affected the morale of the Japanese frontline troops.

    Soon, most of the Japanese front-line grenadiers were eliminated, and then the anti-aircraft machine gunners targeted ordinary Japanese soldiers.

    A new round of killing began. The relatively intensive reshaping of the Japanese army made it almost unnecessary for these anti-aircraft machine gunners to aim. With the huge penetrating power of the Type 75 machine gun, one bullet would not only cause one casualty, but maybe one as well.  Several Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded when the guns went down.

    Although the Japanese army prides itself on being undefeated warriors armed with the spirit of Bushido, they boast that they know no fear and are indomitable warriors.

    However, in the face of the terrifying lethality of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, any creature of flesh and blood can only retreat!

    The little devil collapsed. Less than five minutes after Li Guoyao brought up the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun, the Japanese troops on the front line could not bear the huge casualties and chose to retreat.

    It¡¯s impossible not to withdraw. Even though Colonel Muto is unwilling to do so, if he continues to attack under such circumstances, it is very likely that not a single one of them will be able to withdraw.

    However, the retreat was not peaceful. The range of the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun was about two thousand meters. That is to say, the effective range of the Type 75 was within two thousand meters. Therefore, when the Japs retreated, the anti-aircraft machine gunners were  Shooting continuously.

    After the Japanese troops on the front line withdrew, Colonel Muto took a deep breath as he counted the casualties.

    The total number of soldiers sent by the four squadrons was more than 700, and now less than 200 have been withdrawn. This means that their 68th Regiment lost 500 people in just half an hour.

    Think about it, the 68th Regiment is only full of 3,800 people, but in fact, the total strength is only about 3,200 people. If this continues, all casualties will be exhausted in up to three hours. Such a result directly shocked Muto Yugi.

    Outside Shuangjian Town, the Japanese temporary headquarters.

    The battle just now was witnessed by Higuchi Kiichiro, Katayama Riichiro and others. Seeing that the 68th Regiment was directly defeated, everyone's expressions were very ugly, especially Katayama Riichiro, because the 68th Regiment was  Under the command of his Fifth Brigade.

    After throwing the binoculars on the table, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, can anyone tell me what kind of weapons that army is equipped with and why they are so powerful? Not only can they deal with high-altitude fighter planes, but they can also  It can fight chariots, but also has such terrible lethality against infantry?"

    Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro's voice was a little hoarse, but he was full of energy when he spoke. The ups and downs of his chest showed that his Excellency was in a very uneasy mood at this time.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Empire has conducted an investigation into the weapon equipped by Li Guoyao. The result of the investigation is that it is an advanced anti-aircraft machine gun"

    Before the chief of staff finished speaking, Higuchi Kiichiro asked in surprise: "An anti-aircraft machine gun? How is it possible? What kind of anti-aircraft machine gun can penetrate the front armor of a tank?"

    "Your Excellency, the caliber of the anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by that person is not the usual 12 mm, but as high as about 15 mm. Therefore, its level fire power can not only hit high-altitude flying fighters, but also penetrate Type 94, Type 9  The frontal armor of the Type 5 tank! Even against charging infantry, it has huge lethality. Once it is hit, it is basically impossible to save your life!"

    Hearing the chief of staff¡¯s explanation, everyone, including Higuchi Kiichiro, took a breath!

      Many of them were transferred to the Ninth Division recently. As for Katayama Riichiro and others, they were not from the Ninth Division at all, so they did not understand the army on the opposite side at all.

    "Gentlemen, now that the Imperial Army has suffered a lot of losses due to the fortifications and such terrifying weapons, we should all think about how to capture the garrison position in front of us!" Kiichiro Higuchi said in a deep voice.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the army on the opposite side is not only equipped with a large number of artillery, but also has terrible equipment such as anti-aircraft machine guns. Therefore, it can be basically concluded that it is the main force of Li Guoyao's troops. Even Li Guoyao himself may be there.  The battle is being directed in the town, so we must be more careful and never underestimate the enemy!" Colonel Hidden Hidezo, captain of the 19th Regiment, said in a deep voice.

    "Hidezo-kun is serious. This army is made of sand. No matter in terms of combat effectiveness or fighting will, it is no match for the Imperial Japanese Army. To deal with such an enemy, we can only attack and use our bayonets to tell those stupid  The most correct choice is to surrender to that person." Major General Katayama Riichiro said calmly.

    "Your Excellency Katayama, are you doubting the combat effectiveness of our Ninth Division?" Colonel Hidden Mizore asked in a deep voice.

    Although he is only a small captain of the Colonel's Wing, and the other party is the commander of the Major General Brigade, it is very impolite to ask such a question, and may even lead to the following suspicions.

    But as an officer who grew up in the Ninth Division, Hidezo has deep feelings for the Ninth Division. He will never allow anyone to trample on the honor of the Ninth Division, even if the other person is a major general.

    "Baga, is this how you talk to your commander?" Major General Katayama Riichiro asked angrily.

    However, before anyone could see Hidezo's reply, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro said angrily: "Haga, shut up, everyone. In the face of a powerful enemy, you don't think about how to kill the enemy and serve the country. Instead, you keep arguing here. You are too conceited."  I'm disappointed!"

    Higuchi Kiichiro knew very well that if the two men were allowed to quarrel, it would probably cause conflicts between the Third Division and the Ninth Division, so he decisively interrupted them.

    At this time, the new captain of the 7th Wing, Yamazaki Colonel, suddenly said: "Sir, although the anti-aircraft machine gun that person has is powerful, judging from the situation just now, the opponent does not seem to have too much equipment. And the previous throw  The grenade hand's suppression of that person is very obvious, so I suggest that a large number of grenade hand be sent to the front line, and then let the artillery suppress the anti-aircraft machine gun of that person, and then take down the opponent's position in one go!"

    "Hey, Yamazaki-kun's words make sense, then just do it your way!" Higuchi Kiichiro nodded and said.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I humbly wish to lead our headquarters to take the lead!" Colonel Yamazaki said in invitation.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we agreed last night that our 68th Regiment will be the main attacker today, so this battle must be fought by the Muto Regiment!" Riichiro Katayama also said very forcefully.

    Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro hesitated for a moment, and then made a final decision: "In that case, your 68th Regiment will continue to be the main attack, and the 7th Regiment will serve as the reserve team. The artillery and tank troops will cooperate to fight. We will launch in half an hour.  Let¡¯s prepare for the attack.¡±

    "Hai!"
