"Bang—bang—bang—bang—"
As Chen Dahu's order was relayed, everyone pulled the trigger, and a series of ear-piercing gunshots echoed across the sky.
Countless dense bullets instantly ripped through the sky, whistling as they hurtled towards the Japanese soldiers—thud thud thud thud thud—
The Japanese soldiers at the forefront were torn to shreds by a hail of bullets, their flesh and blood flying everywhere in a horrific scene.
Commander Kenta Takahashi of the 36th Division sat on a tricycle, using binoculars to observe the distant scenery.
Damn it!
He cursed, then said to his chief of staff beside him, "Order the 23rd Regiment to attack the middle hill, the 24th Regiment to attack the left hill, and the 25th Regiment to attack the right hill! The tank regiments, charge along the road! I want to break through the position in the shortest possible time!"
"At the same time, send a telegram to the reinforcements behind, ordering them to rush to our aid immediately! To cooperate with our 36th Division in clearing the road!"
The chief of staff responded, "Yes, sir!"
Before long, the Japanese regiments received orders and immediately launched an attack.
"Charge!!!!!"
"Kill the chicken, sir!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
"Bang bang bang bang bang -"
The shouts of the Japanese soldiers were deafening, sweeping across the entire battlefield like a tidal wave.
Seeing a large number of Japanese soldiers surging towards them, Chen Dahu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, fight with all your might!"
"Bang bang bang bang -"
The unarmed guns and heavy machine guns buried in the fortifications spewed fury.
Tracer bullets, accompanied by a piercing shriek, hurtled towards the Japanese soldiers.
"Da da da—da da da—"
Machine guns fired and mortars roared as wave after wave of bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers.
One Japanese soldier after another fell into a pool of blood, but the rest of the Japanese soldiers did not stop at all.
"Artillery support! Give me artillery support immediately!"
Kenta Takahashi was terrified and hurriedly shouted.
"Boom—!"
"BOOM—!!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The Japanese soldiers unleashed a barrage of fire from dozens of infantry guns and mortars at the three high grounds of Jiulong Ridge.
Rows of shells whistled across the sky and slammed into the Jiulongling position, leaving the sturdy fortifications riddled with holes and craters.
"Da da da—da da da—da da da—da da da—da da da—"
"Boom boom boom—"
In an instant, the 9th Division suffered heavy losses. The constantly exploding shells ravaged the position, knocking down countless soldiers.
"Order the 36th Artillery Regiment and the 38th Heavy Artillery Regiment to open fire on the Japanese immediately!"
"Order the 33rd Infantry Regiment to immediately launch a counter-offensive!"
"We must drive the Japanese devils out of our position! Otherwise, I'll hold them accountable!"
"yes!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Ninety-six Type 4 90mm light mortars, 64 Type 92 infantry guns, 32 Type 94 mountain guns, 64 Type 92 105mm field cannons, 32 Type 4 150mm field guns, and 16 Type 89 150mm cannons fired simultaneously.
In an instant, dense artillery fire covered every inch of land around Jiulong Ridge.
The Japanese soldiers were stunned by the intense artillery fire; they never expected that the Chinese army had hidden so many heavy artillery pieces.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom—"
"ah--"
The shells landed in the Japanese ranks, and the huge shockwave from the explosions sent nearby Japanese soldiers flying, some even being killed instantly.
"Run! Retreat!"
"Run!"
"Beep beep beep beep beep—!"
"Who's going to run?!"
"Shoot him immediately!!!"
Kenta Takahashi, gripping his sword, stood atop a three-wheeled car, his eyes blazing with fury. "Keep charging—!"
"Kill them all—!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The Japanese soldiers advanced frantically, shells landing beside them, stirring up towering waves.
At this moment, Chen Dahu pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun and fired wildly, taking down one approaching Japanese soldier after another.
Soon, the Japanese troops reached a position fifty meters in front of the position and stopped advancing.
Ichiro Koizumi, the commander of the Japanese 24th Regiment, drew his sword and roared, "Grenade launchers, fire! Bombard them hard!"
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz—!!!"
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
"Bang bang bang—"
One shell after another whistled as they landed on the defensive positions at Jiulong Ridge, filling the entire hillside with smoke and dust.
"Brothers!"
"Throw grenades at me!!!"
"Throwing them away in bundles!!"
"Blow these bastards to death!!!"
"Throw a grenade!!!"
"Swish swish swish——"
Hand grenades were thrown down from the hilltop like a torrential rain, landing among the Japanese soldiers.
The explosion immediately caused the Japanese soldiers to cry out in agony, their wails echoing across the field.
"Baka yarou!!! Hold on!!!"
"Hold on tight! Once we break through, kill all these sons of bitches!!!"
Ichiro Koizumi roared, his face contorted with rage, like a wounded wild beast.
Yang Desheng aimed a Type 97 sniper rifle at Koizumi Ichiro.
"Bang--!"
A bullet pierced the sky, whistling as it hurtled towards Ichiro Koizumi's head.
"Pfft—!"
The bullet pierced Koizumi Ichiro's skull, instantly penetrating his skull and leaving a fist-sized hole in his head, from which bright red blood and bits of flesh splattered out.
