Hidden in the trenches, Second Company Commander Feng Xin saw that the leading Japanese soldiers had stopped less than twenty meters from the trenches.

He chopped downwards with his right hand, not saying a word. First Platoon Leader He Zhengdao and Second Platoon Leader Zhang Jun immediately detonated the directional mines they had buried after receiving the mission.

Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei did not hear the sound of the directional mines exploding. The entire Kaminoto Ryo Company, who had already walked through the gates of hell once, stepped into hell again.

Four directional mines unleashed countless iron pellets from their four directions, east, south, west, and north.

This was the main battlefield of the Second Company, and the soldiers of the Second Company were so familiar with it that they could walk around with their eyes closed.

The four directional mines deployed by the Second Company Commander completely covered the positions of the Japanese soldiers in front of the position, allowing the entire Kaminoto Ryo Company to suffer four attacks at the same time.

The four directional mines unleashed iron pellets at an angle, and none of them missed the Kaminoto Ryo Company Commander, who was in the middle of the formation.

Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei, who was at the front, was fortunate enough to only bear the brunt of one directional mine and was very lucky not to be injured.

Then, he saw a group of Second Company soldiers rushing out of the vines like tigers from the jungle, charging towards them with shiny bayonets fixed on their submachine guns.

Seeing so many soldiers rushing out, Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei's first thought was to retreat, but he didn't hear the order to retreat.

In his frantic state, he looked back at the effect of the explosion. After only one glance, Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei could no longer stand.

The sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers who had been behind him were now all lying in pools of blood. The Kaminoto Ryo Company Commander was nowhere to be found.

Junior Lieutenant Kōta Naka was also nowhere to be found. The entire company couldn't find a single commander.

Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei only managed to shout, "Run!" before trying to turn around and retreat.

His reaction wasn't slow, and his movements were relatively quick. But the Second Company soldiers who rushed out of the trenches were even faster. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers weren't charging up to fight with bayonets but turning to run, Company Commander Feng Xin shouted loudly, "Don't let a single one get away!"

First Platoon Leader He Zhengdao's submachine gun fired, "Da-da! Da-da-da!" The platoon leader opened fire, and the soldiers at the front also opened fire.

Sergeant Major Mitani Taisei, who had only run less than three steps, suddenly felt something pushing him hard from behind. His upper body leaned forward, and his feet involuntarily staggered.

After staggering a few steps, he fell headfirst to the ground. As he fell, he saw several bullet holes in his chest: "I've been hit?"

Mitani Taisei didn't escape. Those few Japanese soldiers who had escaped the first round of artillery bombardment and the second explosion of the directional mines finally couldn't escape the third round of submachine gun fire.

Good things in the world don't happen more than three times, and the same was true for these Japanese soldiers like Mitani Taisei.

This annihilation battle started quickly and ended even faster. From the moment the directional mines were triggered to the moment Mitani Taisei fell to the ground, it took less than thirty seconds.

Second Company Commander Feng Xin was very satisfied with this battle. He first issued an order to the entire company: "Third Platoon, finish them off! Fourth and Fifth Platoons, clean up the battlefield! First and Second Platoons, hold the position!"

After issuing the order, he smiled and praised the entire company, "You fought well in this battle just now. Everyone attacked very bravely."

The soldiers of the entire company all laughed happily. The Second Company wasn't all veterans from before. Of the two hundred and fifty soldiers in the entire company, at least eighty were soldiers who had never been on the battlefield.

These recruits were on the battlefield for the first time today. Just now, the First and Second Platoons had already engaged with the Japanese soldiers, having charged at least once. That's why Company Commander Feng wanted to let the Third Platoon come up to finish them off and let the Fourth and Fifth Platoons clean up the battlefield. These arrangements were all for training the new recruits.

After arranging all of this, he began to call the First and Third Companies: "Potato calling Cucumber and Tomato, Pumpkin all chopped up, Pumpkin all chopped up! Please advise."

First Company Commander Yi said grumpily, "Don't call! I've already seen it. Good for you, Old Feng, you didn't leave us a single Japanese soldier.

I led the team all the way here, and I didn't even get a sip of the soup."

Third Company Commander Ying Minxue also said, "Old Feng, that's not right of you. Our First and Third Companies have been following the Japanese soldiers for so long. Even if we don't have any merit, we've still put in the effort.

No matter what, you should have let a few Japanese soldiers go so that our soldiers could get used to it." Company Commander Feng didn't pretend at this time and said nonchalantly, "Old Yi, Old Ying, I was originally planning to leave you a few Japanese soldiers to have fun with.

Who knew that this batch of Japanese soldiers was so cooperative. After the four bombs, there were only five or six Japanese soldiers still standing.

As soon as I charged over here, they took the initiative to fall to the ground and refused to move. Brothers, there's nothing I can do about it!

The bodies of the Japanese soldiers are still here. Why don't we let the soldiers come and have a look?"

The First and Third Companies also had quite a few new recruits. Although they each only brought two platoons out for this encirclement, there were also soldiers who had never been on the battlefield.

Of course, the First and Third Company Commanders wouldn't give up such an opportunity and led their soldiers over. They saw Company Commander Feng giving the entire company a live lecture.

"Although the Japanese soldiers are cunning in combat, their fighting will is also very strong. When cleaning up the battlefield, don't miss a single Japanese soldier.

Be sure to add a shot first to ensure that the Japanese soldier is completely dead before taking the weapons on the Japanese soldier's body."

The bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the ground had now been completely stripped bare.

There was a wound in the throat of every Japanese soldier, and blood was gurgling out.

Dong Qiang, a soldier from the First Company, saw that every Japanese soldier had a wound in this position and asked in surprise, "Did you stab them there during the bayonet fight?"

Dong Qiang was a new recruit. He didn't know that this was the knife added when cleaning up the battlefield. Platoon Leader Miao said, "It's the knife added when cleaning up the battlefield.

You have to remember that some people's hearts are biased. Even if you stab them twice in the heart, they may not die because their hearts are exactly the opposite of normal people.

But no matter who it is, they will die if they are stabbed in the throat. Adding a knife in this position is the right thing to do."

Lieutenant Colonel Nakatome Kaoru dispatched a company to attack, but not a single Japanese soldier returned, which made him wonder what had happened on the front line.

The bodies and wounded Japanese soldiers had been rescued from the place bombed by the artillery shells. These wounded soldiers only knew that Kaminoto Ryo Company Commander was going to attack from the small road, and he said that he would continue to complete the mission.

But three hours had passed since he left, and no news had been sent back. Lieutenant Colonel Nakatome Kaoru finally received a message from an intermediary, asking him to send a team of laborers to collect the bodies.

A team waving a white flag followed the road that Kaminoto Ryo Company had taken and saw piles of Japanese soldiers' bodies abandoned in the wild from a distance.

These laborers carried all the bodies of the Japanese soldiers back. Seeing their bodies, Lieutenant Colonel Nakatome Kaoru finally understood: the attacking company had been completely annihilated.

The Japanese Sixth Division's attacks in the Tangshan and Chunhua directions had both failed, which made Lieutenant General Inaba Shirō unable to bear this blow.

Thinking about how his division was invincible in the Battle of Wuhan, and one division had created the momentum of an army.

When facing the Special Operations Brigade, it was actually restrained everywhere. He couldn't understand: Why was this?

The Sixth Division's offensive made no progress, and the Thirteenth Division's joint offensive with the Fifth Fleet of the Navy had also been declared a failure.

The situation of the Third Division was also very bad. Division Commander Fujita Susumu commanded the Fifth Infantry Regiment to attack Moling, and the Twenty-ninth Infantry Brigade to attack Wuhu.

This division didn't have many tasks. It only needed to occupy these two places and then jointly attack the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant. This iron and steel plant had now become one of the most important enterprises of the Special Operations Brigade. This iron and steel plant was now not only mining and smelting steel. The Special Operations Brigade also had supporting seamless steel pipe plants and various special steel plants. It could be said that this steel plant supported the entire military industry of the Special Operations Brigade.

This was also one of the most important destinations of the Japanese army's operation this time. Yesterday's attack didn't have any effect, so today's attack was especially important.

Chief of Staff Tajiri Toshio of the Third Division personally went to the Fifth Infantry Brigade to supervise the battle, expressing his importance to this battle.

Brigade Commander Katayama Osamu of the Fifth Brigade assigned a part of the Sixth Infantry Regiment to set off from Tiexin Bridge and attack Daishan, Niushoushan, and Banqiao Town. Another part landed on the beach in Cihu Town. This was the double-headed snake offensive that the Japanese army liked to use most. The Fifth Brigade launched attacks from several directions at the same time. As long as one place broke through, they would concentrate their forces to attack from the gap that was torn open.

The task of the First Battalion of the Sixth Infantry Regiment was to set off from Tiexin Bridge, capture Jianshan, and then attack Niushoushan.

Battalion Commander Suzuki Ryota ordered the First Company to launch a tentative attack. Company Commander Kawahara Kohei led the team forward.

Sergeant Major Takasagoin Ryuusei and Sergeant Major Kanetani Akira, two Japanese soldiers, walked at the front of the team. They walked cautiously on the mountain road. From Tiexin Bridge to Jianshan, although this section of the road wasn't a particularly remote path, it was definitely not a main road.
