The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 467 Desperate Captain Akada Takumi
It also recounted to Captain Omori Rintaro the description that Commander Terauchi Hisaichi had given of the Lunan Detachment's planes.
Having grasped the key points of slow, inflexible, and clumsy, Captain Omori Rintaro immediately understood: this was a mission to pick up merit.
This time, Commander Amagai Keigo explicitly ordered the fighter squadron to depart first and quickly reach the battlefield to solve the problem of the planes over the heads of the Manda Yuto Brigade.
The bomber squadron followed behind, an arrangement made only because the battle ahead was too intense. Fighter planes had a faster flight speed and could arrive on the battlefield sooner.
If their planes could eliminate the planes over the Independent Mixed 17th Brigade sooner, many fewer of those devils would die.
The pilots of the Kaho Ryotaro bomber squadron watched as the Omori Rintaro fighter squadron soared into the sky from the runway, piercing the blue.
They were still watching the coolie devils load bombs onto the bombers! They received their mission slightly later.
Commander Amagai Keigo couldn't wait for the fighter squadron to leave first, but this was nothing to the devils of the bomber squadron.
In any case, the entire sky was now their domain!
By the time the Kaho Ryotaro bomber squadron set off, twenty minutes had already passed.
The reason why Commander Yamato Jiro in Tashan Town was so angry and had such strong opinions about Brigade Commander Manda Yuto was simply because when it received the first telegram from Brigade Commander Manda Yuto.
It completely believed the situation it provided and immediately organized a full-scale counterattack by the entire detachment's devils.
Thinking that his thirty thousand devils could defeat the ten thousand Lunan Detachment soldiers outside no matter what.
The Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion were strengthened and sent to the 3rd Infantry Brigade under these circumstances.
As they set off towards the south of Tashan Town, they saw many planes flying overhead.
Although the planes didn't drop a single bullet, they invisibly gave the devils of this unit endless courage.
They firmly believed that the planes passing overhead were their own.
These devils' steps were light, and their marching speed was very fast. In twenty minutes, they had already seen the trenches dug by the Lunan Detachment.
Lin Fan was also clear that the main direction of the devils' breakthrough was here, so he arranged Dan Chengfu's 4th Regiment here, along with eight security regiments.
In this direction, the Lunan Detachment had arranged a force of eighteen thousand people, waiting for the devils to come.
Dan Chengfu stared at the black mass of devils rushing over, without moving.
If he didn't move, the entire force on the defensive line wouldn't move, quietly waiting for the regimental commander to issue the order.
He was truly an expert in defending against the Special Operations Brigade. Anti-personnel mines were buried two hundred meters in front of the entire defensive line.
Dan Chengfu was now waiting for the devils to enter. According to the Special Operations Brigade's style of fighting devils, they would first use anti-personnel mines to blast a wave, then charge up to fight in close quarters, and the battle should end like this.
He was commanding a somewhat large force today, and it was the first time he was commanding nine regiments in battle. Dan Chengfu felt a great deal of pressure in his heart.
He was, of course, clear about the 4th Regiment's combat strength, but he wasn't clear about the combat strength of the remaining eight security regiments. Furthermore, these security regiments had been established for a long time, the longest being no more than four months, and the shortest only one month.
There was a risk in fighting in close quarters with such a force.
In order to lead these eight regiments well, Dan Chengfu had already sent each of the 4th Regiment's ten infantry companies, from the 3rd Company to the 10th Company, to lead a security regiment into battle.
The 1st and 2nd Companies, the strongest of the entire 4th Regiment, were used in a concentrated manner. The benefit of him doing this was obvious: each company of the regular regiment had a walkie-talkie, which could be used to make immediate calls and transmit orders.
In this way, he could accurately command nine regiments at the same time.
It was just that there were quite a few devils charging over on the other side. The Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion were distributed on the left and right sides of the road, charging in the forefront.
Not far behind them was Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro himself, leading the Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade.
This brigade of devils, which had just been reorganized from logistics soldiers, had already lost the Rikuzen Kazuo Battalion in its entirety, and had lost more than two thousand devils in the attacks on the previous few nights.
In reality, this brigade of his now had less than seven thousand devils. However, today, Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro was making a desperate gamble. The seven thousand devils followed behind the Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion, ready to charge out at any time.
It was precisely because he personally followed the entire brigade in an attack that Commander Yamato Jiro placed the greatest hope on this group of devils.
Seeing that the devils charging in the forefront were only a hundred meters away from the position, Regimental Commander Dan Chengfu still didn't issue an order.
He calmly watched the devils, who were divided into two sections. The devils in the rear detachment were still three hundred meters away from the position.
Regimental Commander Dan Chengfu finally moved. He ordered a soldier beside him: "Have Gu Jianwen and the others aim at the officers in the rear of the devils' formation.
Shoot as soon as I give the order to detonate."
Gu Jianwen was the squad leader of the 4th Regiment's sharpshooter squad. Only the 4th Regiment and the 3rd Regiment in the entire Lunan Detachment had such a sharpshooter squad.
This was because he and the 3rd Regiment Commander Shan Huacan were both sharpshooters, only a little bit worse than Brigade Commander Lin Fan.
Having received the order, Gu Jianwen immediately began to assign tasks. There were only eleven people in his squad, so including himself, there were only twelve people.
Of course, they couldn't allow the situation where two people were shooting at the same target to occur. They had to assign each person their own target and shoot at their respective targets.
Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai felt both happy and doubtful: the people opposite seemed to have been scared silly. They hadn't dared to fire a shot even now.
The Matsumura Akiyoshi Squad of the Kosugi Taro Company was charging at the forefront of this battalion of his.
The Matsumura Akiyoshi Squad had already charged to a position less than fifty meters away from the front position.
However, no gunshot had been heard. At this time, Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai hoped that some sparse gunshots could be heard, so that he could feel at ease.
The absence of any gunshots or explosions on such a battlefield made him feel somewhat afraid.
Soon, the explosion that Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai had been longing for rang out. At the same time, there were also gunshots, but the explosion was too loud, and the gunshots were drowned out.
The gunshots could be drowned out, but the bullets wouldn't be drowned out just like that. Gu Jianwen watched with satisfaction as the target he was aiming at fell headfirst from his warhorse.
Looking again at the devil troops in the distance, quite a few of the devils who had just been riding warhorses had already fallen.
The remaining devils were hurriedly dismounting, first looking at the situation in the distance, and then looking at the vicinity.
Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai was startled by the sound of the explosion. This explosion was definitely not what he wanted.
Just now, he felt that the battlefield was too quiet, and the explosions he wanted were just the sound of firecrackers going off.
The sound of the explosion that was now shaking the earth obviously exceeded his tolerance.
It was just that these explosions were sent over by the Lunan Detachment. Whether he could bear it or not, he could only passively accept it.
Countless iron pellets flew around, and all the devils who were blocking the path of these iron pellets blocked countless iron pellets, and countless wounds were added to their bodies.
The devils in the vicinity were bombed by anti-personnel mines, and the Suzuki Goro Brigade in the distance was now being bombarded by the mortars and infantry guns of nine regiments, as well as being swept by heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
At a distance of three hundred meters, the power of the heavy machine guns was no less than that of the anti-aircraft machine guns. Although the security regiments were equipped with fewer heavy machine guns, they had a full eight regiments.
The firepower of the eight security regiments combined was still much stronger than the firepower of the 4th Regiment. Now the machine guns and heavy machine guns were all firing at the rear of the devils' formation.
The 1st and 2nd Companies charged in the forefront, and the 3rd and 4th Companies each led a security regiment, following closely behind, charging into the Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion that had just been blown up by anti-personnel mines.
This was the routine that the Special Operations Brigade had summarized for dealing with devils who came to attack the position. First, bomb, then charge, and then fight in close quarters, not letting a single devil go.
Squad Leader Matsumura Akiyoshi was less than thirty meters away from the 1st Company's defensive line, and Company Commander Guan Wende led his troops to charge in in less than six seconds.
Squad Leader Matsumura Akiyoshi, who was fortunate enough to survive the explosion just now, still had a buzzing sound in his head at this time, and had not yet woken up from the shock.
His lost gaze looked at the Lunan Detachment soldiers charging closer, and the responsibility hidden deep in his consciousness suddenly awakened him.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" He only shouted these two words before being sealed off by the charging soldiers with bayonets. Squad Leader Matsumura Akiyoshi could no longer make a sound, his hands tightly covering the wound, and he could only make a hehe sound.
His protruding eyes stared at the charging troops, and his body slowly fell down. Some of the surviving devils of the entire Matsumura Akiyoshi Squad were awakened by the squad leader's shouting and tried to resist.
It was just that their reaction speed was too slow. Before they had time to parry, they had already been stabbed in the chest by a bayonet.
The Matsumura Akiyoshi Squad was only a unit of the Kosugi Taro Company, and it had warned in the front. The response time of the Kosugi Taro Company Commander was about the same.
It was just that they were a little further away. When the 1st Company soldiers charged closer, the Kosugi Taro Company Commander had already organized dozens of devils to prepare.
It organized the dozens of devils who could still fight and counterattacked the 1st Company.
As soon as the front lines of the two sides collided, a large row of Kosugi Taro Company's devils immediately fell down.
Whether it was the level of close combat or the number of troops on both sides, the Lunan Detachment now had a complete upper hand.
The 1st Company had two hundred soldiers, and the Kosugi Taro Company's devils had already been wiped out, and the remaining devils had been more than halved in the explosion just now.
Two hundred against sixty, there were too few devils to be divided among the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment. The soldiers of the 1st Company who had not been assigned to the first batch of devils did not stop, and they continued to charge towards the Domyo Kentai Battalion that was closely following behind.
When Domyo Kentai's battalion came out of Xuzhou City, there were more than 1,200 devils. That night, more than 300 devils were bombed to death. Only less than 900 devils came to the battlefield today, and they were dealt with by a wave of anti-personnel mines just now.
Its Kosugi Taro Company was wiped out again. At this time, there were less than 400 devils who could still stand up and fight the Lunan Detachment in close combat.
This number was still more than twice the number of soldiers charging up in the 1st Company. Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai had seen from the process of the Kosugi Taro Company being wiped out that the troop in front of him was very powerful.
"This is a troop that can compete with this battalion," Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai thought in his heart.
It felt that although the troops charging up were powerful, the Domyo Battalion had an advantage in numbers. In close combat, the side with the larger number always had some advantages.
When Guan Wende led his troops to charge up, the devils had completed their deployment, and both sides began a prepared fight.
The devils of the Domyo Kentai Battalion tremblingly held their guns and rushed towards the charging soldiers of the Lunan Detachment. When the two sides collided, they all raised their bayonets and stabbed.
The soldiers of the 1st Company roared, "Kill!" The rifle in their hand stabbed out from the chest and pushed hard to pull away the devil's rifle, and then roared, "Kill!" They then aimed the rifle at the devil and stabbed.
Immediately, many devils were shot. Not many devils were lucky enough to parry the stab. Seeing the devils around them fall, they were already frightened, but the bayonet opposite stabbed again.
This knife after knife, move after move, every knife was fatal!
Sergeant Nishikyo Reio had parried the rifle stabbed by the opposite side three times. In its eyes now, there was only the rifle on the opposite side. Everything around it was blurred, and it couldn't care about anything else.
The devil who could parry three times was already the only one. The devils around Sergeant Nishikyo Reio had all been killed, and only it was still persisting.
All of its mind was focused on the rifle on the opposite side, and it had no strength to pay attention to the surrounding situation. The bayonet on the opposite side stabbed out for the fourth time, and Sergeant Nishikyo Reio hurriedly shot again, preparing to parry the stab.
Just at this time, it suddenly felt a chill in its waist, followed by a violent pain, as if its internal organs had been grabbed by someone's hand.
Sergeant Nishikyo Reio's rifle, which had only shot halfway, could no longer parry. The stab in the front stabbed hard through its chest, and the feeling that its entire internal organs had been grabbed by someone's hand appeared again.
This time, it could no longer stand firm, and its body fell backward, never to be able to climb up again.
Although the devils of the Domyo Kentai Battalion were organized to fight in close combat, they had all just stood up from the anti-personnel mine attack, and had completely lost the momentum they had when they came all the way from Tashan Town.
The number of devils was temporarily more than the 1st Company here, but this was only temporary, because the 3rd and 4th Companies, each leading a security regiment, were charging up not far away, a full 5,000 troops.
On the other side of the battlefield, the situation of the Nangumo Takuto Battalion was no different. The 2nd Company was fighting them, and two security regiments were charging up a hundred meters away.
Further away, Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro led the Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade and was caught in the artillery bombardment and machine gun sweeps of several regiments.
Such dense artillery fire, coupled with the encounter of the Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion in the front, made the devils of the entire 3rd Brigade not know whether to advance or retreat.
Many of the commanders of the Suzuki Goro Brigade were killed by Gu Jianwen's sharpshooter squad, and for a time the first half of the entire brigade had broken away from command and was in chaos.
In this situation, Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro decisively ordered, "Retreat!" It was riding a warhorse when it came, and many of the devils on the horses had been sniped just now.
Now it didn't dare to get on its horse, and only dared to hide among the ordinary devils, fleeing back to Tashan Town quickly.
Regimental Commander Dan Chengfu saw that the main force of the devils actually ran away so quickly, and didn't give the 4th Regiment a chance to annihilate them.
He could only regretfully order the mortars and infantry guns to extend the bombardment. He had no way to deal with the main force of the devils who had greased their feet.
Now Regimental Commander Dan could only try his best to annihilate the two infantry battalions of devils who were charging in the front.
When Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai was organizing the entire battalion to persist in close combat, he was full of hope that the Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade behind him would charge up to support him.
Although he was arrogantly looking down on the Suzuki Brigade when he set off, he was now being suppressed by the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment.
Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai still hoped that those coolies in the Suzuki Brigade could charge up and help attract the attention of the troops charging up on the opposite side.
After all, there were already several thousand troops charging up not far away. Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro disappointed it: the troops less than a hundred meters behind it actually turned around and ran away.
Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai looked at the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment who were a hundred meters away from him. At least 5,000 people were charging up.
Further away, another 5,000 people were charging towards the Nangumo Takuto Battalion. There were a full 10,000 troops here.
A piece of information suddenly flashed in its mind: The Lunan Detachment has a total of ten regiments with more than 20,000 people. There are already more than 10,000 troops ambushing the Manda Yuto Brigade. How can there be more than 10,000 troops here?
The Lunan Detachment's 10,000 troops were in front of him. This was definitely not an illusion. Someone must be lying. Battalion Commander Domyo Kentai felt very uneasy.
This battalion of it was now deeply trapped and unable to extricate itself. It couldn't escape without external support.
However, the Suzuki Goro Brigade that could save it had already run away. Now it and its battalion could only struggle to die.
Regimental Commander Xiang Yingfan of the Yinan Security 1st Regiment led his troops and followed the 3rd Company in a quick charge, joining the battlefield that was fighting.
The 3rd Company Commander ordered the Yinan Security 1st Regiment to charge towards the Domyo Battalion, which was dying. There were not many devils in the Domyo Kentai Battalion to begin with. Adding the charge of a Security Regiment of 2,000 people,
They immediately couldn't hold on. At this time, they had been completely surrounded, and there wasn't even the slightest chance to escape.
Company Commander Pan Gaoge of the 3rd Company led the Yinan Security 2nd Regiment and chased towards the main force of the devils who were running away.
The distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters, and the difference was immediately obvious in such a chase on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the 3rd Company had been training for a long time and quickly left the Yinan Security 2nd Regiment behind. The devils who were running away were afraid in their hearts. They could avoid being bombed by artillery shells at the back of the entire team.
However, the Lunan Detachment that was following up was going to fight them in close combat. These devils rushed faster and were bombarded by the fierce artillery fire in the front.
This was a difficult choice, to be bombed or be killed by knives, let them choose for themselves.
Regimental Commander Dan Chengfu watched the troops catching up with the main force of the devils and ordered the artillery fire to continue to extend the bombardment, creating more space for the troops that were chasing up.
Company Commander Guan Wende of the 1st Company commanded his troops and quickly annihilated the Domyo Kentai Battalion with the cooperation of the Yinan Security 1st Regiment, which later charged into the battlefield.
The Security 1st Regiment was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and Company Commander Guan Wende of the 1st Company led his troops to continue chasing after the main force of the devils who were running away.
They were called by Regimental Commander Dan to cooperate in cleaning up the battlefield. Dan Chengfu moved his command post forward 500 meters and watched the 3rd Company chase the devils to a position 1,000 meters away before ordering to stop chasing.
If they chased any further, they would be chasing into Tashan Town.
The Xuzhou Task Force suffered very heavy losses in this breakthrough in cooperation with the Manda Yuto Brigade. Just in this assault to the south, it lost two battalions of the Independent Mixed 4th Infantry Brigade and more than 4,000 devils from the Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade.
The Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade, which had been crippled a few days ago, now had only 3,000 devils left at this time, and it needed to replenish its troops again.
Adding the two teams together, there were 6,000 devils killed or wounded just in the breakthrough to the south, plus the devils who were lost in the other directions when they rushed out to annihilate the Lunan Detachment.
The Xuzhou Task Force, which originally had 30,000 troops, now had less than 20,000 devils left. This was why Commander Yamato Jiro was so angry when he received Brigade Commander Manda Yuto's telegram.
At this time, Commander Yamato Jiro had not understood that the number of troops in the Lunan Detachment was far more than 20,000.
It was still angrily raging in the command post: It was angry that the devils under its command didn't dare to fight hard and ran back when they encountered setbacks; it was also angry that Brigade Commander Manda Yuto had deceived him.
How high Commander Yamato Jiro's expectations of Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro were when he personally led the team to set off, the disappointment with Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro now only increased tenfold and came back.
Brigade Commander Saito Takeo could not accept the result of the annihilation of the Domyo Kentai Battalion and Nangumo Takuto Battalion either.
However, the fact was in front of him. It wasn't a question of whether it accepted it or not, but a question of how to end it.
When the Independent Mixed 3rd Infantry Brigade launched its attack just now, the Saito Takeo Brigade did not slack off either. The Independent 4th Infantry Brigade launched its attack as well.
Although the direction of their attack was east and west, the devils who attacked in these two directions had the same result: none survived.
It was as if there was a net cast over Tashan Town, and any devils who went out would never return.
It was precisely because the devils who attacked in the east and west did not return, coupled with the loss of the two battalions that went to support in the south, that the strength of the Independent 4th Infantry Brigade was greatly reduced.
The strength of the entire Xuzhou Task Force's combat troops was now the strongest in the 4th Cavalry Brigade.
Brigade Commander Momoyo Soubun of the Cavalry Brigade had always been huddled, and it had always been the most careful.
If it wasn't for that night a few days ago, when its cavalry brigade encountered an irresistible bombing, it would have lost all the warhorses of the entire cavalry brigade in one fell swoop.
The Momoyo Soubun Cavalry Brigade was still at full health now, but unfortunately, no matter how much it tried to survive, it was indiscriminately bombed by a team led by Gu Xiuming, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade's four legs were broken.
Cavalry without warhorses was not even as good as infantry. However, having combat power still needed the support of its peers.
The 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Brigade sent a battalion after a battalion to their deaths, which suddenly made Momoyo Soubun's cavalry brigade stand out. Its team still had a full 5,000 devils left.
The entire Xuzhou Task Force still had 10,000 logistics troops, and their strength was still there. The losses of these devils were the least.
In order to replenish combat troops, Commander Yamato Jiro had already ordered all these logistics troops to be replenished to the two infantry brigades.
The Saito Takeo Brigade still had more than 2,000 elite infantry left, so it was assigned 7,000 logistics troops. According to Brigade Commander Saito Takeo's plan, these devils under his command would bring three with them, and the old would bring the new, so that they could maintain their combat power in the upcoming battles.
These devils in the Suzuki Goro Brigade were originally logistics troops, and now that 3,000 logistics troops were added, the entire brigade's strength was 7,000 devils again.
This time, Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro did not fight for anything at all, allowing Commander Yamato Jiro and Brigade Commander Saito Takeo to distribute them.
After personally leading the charge once and then quickly retreating, the despair in Brigade Commander Suzuki Goro's heart was unspeakable.
It had personally seen the 10,000 soldiers of the Lunan Detachment charging in from the south. According to its calculations, there were at least 40,000 soldiers of the Lunan Detachment surrounding Tashan Town, with 10,000 soldiers in one direction.
It was just that Commander Yamato Jiro did not want to believe its words, Brigade Commander Saito Takeo was unwilling to believe them, and Brigade Commander Momoyo Soubun did not dare to believe them. These three devils all knew that if there were really 40,000 soldiers of the Lunan Detachment surrounding them outside, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to Xuzhou.
These devils did not want to think about such a thing. Commander Yamato Jiro could only send another telegram requesting Brigade Commander Manda Yuto not to pretend anymore.
It believed that Brigade Commander Manda Yuto just did not dare to come to Tashan Town to fight the Lunan Detachment, so it fabricated that it had been ambushed by tens of thousands of soldiers.
Now, the two teams, which were ten kilometers apart, felt that the other side was deceiving them. Brigade Commander Manda Yuto was powerless to tell them apart. More than half of its brigade had already been killed or wounded.
The planes overhead were still tirelessly strafing back and forth. For every minute that these planes existed in the air, the soldiers of the Manda Yuto Brigade would be reduced by one point.
It originally thought that these planes would leave in 20 minutes at most, but half an hour had passed, and the planes overhead were still pouring down bullets on the devils on the ground, just like when they first arrived.
The Asaji Torataro Battalion, which was left at the end of the entire brigade, only suffered attacks from the air at the beginning.
The entire battalion could still withstand it, but when the 2nd Regiment of the Lunan Detachment charged up from behind, Battalion Commander Asaji Torataro clearly felt the pressure.
Battalion Commander Asaji Torataro could see clearly that this team had charged up from the road behind. It was obvious that they were not an ambush, but had been chasing the tail of the brigade.
The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment had been following the devils all the way, and they had walked a marathon from last night until now.
It was a lie to say that the soldiers were not tired at this time. They had attacked the Xuzhou Airport last night, ran to Tashan Town overnight to fight a battle, and then ran back dozens of miles.
However, when they saw their own planes strafing overhead and the devils on the ground crawling and not daring to raise their heads,
The enthusiasm came all at once, and these soldiers began to charge with a howl. The planes in the sky were constantly strafing at the devils above their heads, and the soldiers on the ground followed the road after the planes strafed.
The devils of the Asaji Torataro Battalion could not withstand it all of a sudden. The Akata Takumi Company collapsed all of a sudden.
Company Commander Akata Takumi waved his command knife and angrily pointed at the charging soldiers of the 2nd Regiment.
It shouted loudly, "Shoot! Shoot!" The devils of this company only needed to lie on the ground and wait for the machine guns overhead to reap their lives.
Suddenly, a team rushed out from behind, and without the slightest hesitation, charged towards them.
And the front of this team was the same as the routine of those people on the left and right sides. They were all pushing carts to block bullets.
There was no novelty at all, but it could perfectly block the bullets they fired.
However, the machine gun bullets fired from the carts, the devils of the Akata Takumi Company could only silently endure.
How could they fight such an unfair battle? The devils of the Akata Takumi Company, which had already suffered more than half of its casualties, did not dare to stand up and run away.
However, they could still quietly use their hands and feet to crawl backward. These devils did not need to crawl too fast, as long as they crawled faster than other devils.
Sergeant Yamashita Taiga was this kind of person. It had once participated in World War I with the devils.
Perhaps the older it was, the smaller its guts were. Anyway, it was scared today. Seeing that Hua Deze's 2nd Regiment of thousands of people was chasing up, Yamashita Taiga peed immediately.
Using its more than 20 years of combat experience to judge that it was going to be over, it immediately crawled backward. Sergeant Yamashita Taiga saw the opportunity early and crawled fast, and had already left Company Commander Akata Takumi's sight.
This time, the company commander roared and used his command knife to slash at the devils who had already turned their heads and were preparing to crawl backward, but there was no Sergeant Yamashita Taiga.
Sergeant Yamashita Taiga was not proud, and it was still working hard to crawl backward. The familiar roar of the engine chased up from behind.
Machine gun bullets whizzed past beside it, but none of these could stop it.
If it was not too attractive to bullets to stand up and run away, it would have stood up and ran away long ago.
The devils who were roared back by Company Commander Akata Takumi had to lie on the ground and start to fight back hard with their rifles.
Among these teams, there were originally some mortars and infantry guns, but they were all shot at by the planes in the air and did not dare to approach them at all.
The devil corpses that fell around the mortars and infantry guns were the most, and they were all devils who tried to bring heavy weapons with them to facilitate their breakthrough.
Although the planes overhead did not shout, they spoke with actions: Don't touch the artillery! Those who touch it will die!
Of course, in this situation, they were going to die even if they did not touch the artillery, at least for the Akata Takumi Company.
The two companies of Hua Deze's 2nd Regiment, which were charging in the forefront, had already charged into the position of the Asaji Torataro Battalion.
The Akata Takumi Company bore the brunt, and the bullets that the devils of the entire company, who were lying on the ground, tried to shoot out were blocked by the carts.
However, the machine gun bullets fired from the carts of the 2nd Regiment had to be endured by the devils of the Akata Takumi Company.
Now the 1st Company of the 2nd Regiment had charged to a distance of less than 30 meters from the Akata Company. A dozen grenades were thrown over, and the devils who were still resisting were blown over all of a sudden.
Then hundreds of soldiers rushed up, and the bayonets stabbed down at the devils who were still lying on the ground.
At this time, Sergeant Yamashita Taiga had found the best hiding place: less than five meters in front of it, a big tree had fallen to the ground, and its crown just covered a huge shell crater.
When it crawled into this crater in a panic, it found that there were already seven or eight devils hiding in the crater.
They were hiding at the bottom of the shell crater, and the tree crown, which still had many green leaves, perfectly covered the shell crater where these devils were hiding.
Sergeant Yamashita Taiga immediately lay on the edge of the crater and nervously looked at the situation of the Akata Takumi Company now.
What it saw was that the forward position of the entire Akata Company had been charged up by the people.
Some of the devils who were in a slightly backward position were getting up and holding their rifles, preparing for close combat. Company Commander Akata Takumi also stood up, waving his command knife in his hand.
Commanding the last dozens of devils in the entire company to charge, Sergeant Yamashita Taiga could figure it out with his feet: The Akata Company was finished.
Forty or so devils, fighting in close combat with hundreds of people, wasn't that looking for death?
The situation on the battlefield was exactly the same as it had imagined. The result of Company Commander Akata Takumi personally participating in the close combat was just to send another life.
Company Commander Akata Takumi waved his command knife and watched his subordinates get up in a panic and charge towards the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment who were less than ten meters away.
The planes overhead were no longer strafing at them now, but Company Commander Akata Takumi did not have any joy.
It saw that Squad Leader Kouchi just raised his bayonet and was stabbed in the chest by the people who charged up on the opposite side. The bright bayonet tip came out from behind, and it could see it too clearly.
Squad Leader Kouchi's raised rifle fell powerlessly, and it fell to the ground, and then someone stepped on it and added a knife.
Company Commander Akata Takumi roared, both out of anger after seeing his subordinates die miserably, and out of the idea of cheering himself up.
After all, it knew that no matter what it did now, it was doomed to die, and it wanted to die gloriously at the last moment.
Company Commander Akata Takumi waved his command knife, trying to chop down a soldier of the Lunan Detachment.
It was just that the young soldier on the opposite side was too agile. Seeing that the command knife in Akata Takumi's hand was coming fiercely, he unexpectedly jumped backward without any warning, avoiding the knife, and then jumped back like a spring was installed under his feet.
A fierce knife also stabbed towards Company Commander Akata Takumi's chest. For this knife, Company Commander Akata Takumi tried to retreat backward like that soldier.
Its brain thought so, but its body did not cooperate well, but staggered back a step, but it also happened to avoid the knife.
The soldier on the opposite side stepped forward again and stabbed out another knife. Akata Takumi, who had already staggered back a step, could no longer avoid it.
It could feel that this knife also directly pierced through his chest and back, and then it felt that the bayonet was also spinning in his chest, and his entire internal organs were strangled, and it felt like it was going to be pulled out of his chest along with the bayonet.
Unable to withstand such pain, Company Commander Akata Takumi's command knife fell to the ground with a clatter, and his body also fell backward.
The entire process was seen clearly by Sergeant Yamashita Taiga, and it could not help but cover its chest, as if the stab was also stabbing at its heart.
Although the Akata Takumi Company worked hard, struggled, and resisted, their efforts were completely useless.
