"Nani?"
Looking at the twelve huge fortresses in front of him, Matsui was so shocked that his eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth.
Those twelve fortresses are all made of reinforced concrete.
The height is at least over 20 meters.
A huge cement dome was installed above it to withstand shelling.
There are dense shooting holes on the front.
There are a dozen larger cannon ports above.
Black cannons stretched out from inside and were aimed at their group.
Stretching barbed wire fences and trenches can also be seen in front of the fortress.
For a moment, Matsui had an illusion.
I feel like I am on the Tubal Road, and the opposite side is the well-equipped Japanese army.
"This script is wrong..."
Matsui was stunned.
In the past, when he was teaching at school, the teaching scene was that one's own side had various solid fortifications, relied on various solid city defense equipment, and fought with various overwhelming weapon advantages.
Now, why is everything reversed?
Why have I become the one with the lowest equipment?
Isn’t it an agricultural country across the way?
They have firmly locked up each other's ability to import cement.
How did you get these things?
This shouldn't be the case!
Am I dreaming?
Matsui rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The twelve huge fortresses still stood in front of him.
How did Matsui look at those shooting ports and feel that they were smiling faces.
is laughing at his incompetence.
"idiot!"
Matsui felt insulted and angrily drew the sword from his waist.
"Warriors of the empire, don't be deceived by the Eighth Route Army's disguise!"
"They are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, rushing forward to take away the honor that should belong to you!"
Many of Matsui's soldiers are new recruits who have just completed basic training.
I still don’t have a deep understanding of the cruelty of war.
In the minds of many of them, the so-called war is just a means for them to make achievements and obtain military honors and trophies.
It's as simple as going to the fields and digging radishes.
Why use the carrot metaphor?
Because they grow radishes in their hometown.
Therefore, under Matsui's order, these supplementary soldiers who had just completed their training rushed towards the fortress with roars.
It is still 500 meters away from the fort.
There was no movement in the fortress.
It is still 400 meters away from the fort.
The fortress remained silent.
The fortress is 300 meters away.
The fortress remained silent.
It is still 200 meters away from the fort.
There was no sound from the fort.
It is still 100 meters away from the fortress.
The fortress remained unchanged.
"Is it an empty fortress?"
"Just a lookalike?"
Such thoughts arose in Matsui's mind.
"Let me tell you, how could a mere agricultural country build such a fortress? You are indeed a liar! Are you bullying me for not having read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Don't you know the empty city strategy?"
"Hmph! What a bunch of stupid guys, don't you know that Three Kingdoms is a must-read in our country?"
The more Matsui thought about it, the more it made sense.
This set of assumptions is very consistent with his cognition.
Immediately, the command sword in his hand was raised higher.
The whole person stood on a stone and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, kill the general and capture the flag in the near future, for His Majesty the Emperor, plank!"
"It's a black card, plate!"
A group of people raised their rifles and rushed forward.
These people moved quickly, trying to catch up with the first batch of troops and gain the upper hand.
At this time, the first group of people were less than 30 meters away from the fortress.
They rushed to the trenches and barbed wire.
Several engineers quickly squatted down, took out iron pliers, and began to cut the barbed wire.
However, at this moment, the muzzles of the guns protruded from the shooting holes.
The keen-eyed Japanese soldiers discovered that the muzzles of the protruding guns were all the muzzles of the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
"Dah!"
"Ya Zhudie!"
Accompanied by the frightened screams of several Japanese soldiers.
A heavy machine gun spit out tongues of fire.
Da da da……
Bullets rained down on them.
These soldiers suddenly felt like their grandfathers, helpless in the face of hand-operated Gatling guns.
At a distance of 30 meters, there is almost no reaction time for bullets.
When you see the tongues of fire, the machine gun bullets have penetrated your body.
Soon, these soldiers were harvested in patches like wheat.
Many people were torn to pieces by roaring machine guns before they even reacted.
The effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun reaches 800 meters, and the ultimate range reaches 2,000 meters.
In fact, with the density of firepower of heavy machine guns, there was no need to aim accurately against such a dense Japanese formation.
Just pull the trigger toward a crowded place.
You can always hit the target.
The first group of vanguard troops, under intensive firepower, were completely wiped out in less than half a minute.
Then, the bullets were fired into the Japanese troops who were following up without any hindrance.
Thousands of Japanese troops fell.
Matsui was confused at this time.
He didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
Those forts are actually real.
It's not what he thought it was.
"How can this be?"
Matsui felt like his head was pounding.
He couldn't figure it out. They were just an agricultural country, but they had blocked the cement import route.
How was it possible to build a fortress of this size?
He couldn't figure it out.
"Division Commander!"
A captain jumped to his side.
"Hurry up and give the order to retreat. If we don't retreat, we will be finished."
"Yes, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Matsui woke up from a dream.
Immediately shout the order to retreat.
The orderly soldier conveyed the order.
However, the battlefield was chaotic at this time, and it was difficult for orders to be conveyed to the grassroots.
Even if it is communicated, it is difficult to implement.
Many people were suppressed by machine guns and could not lift their heads.
He could only lie on the ground and block the machine gun's firing range with his companion's body.
At this moment, the artillery above the fortress began to rotate and slowly adjusted its firing range.
Boom, boom, boom!
One cannon roared.
Cannonballs hit one after another.
The corpse may block the firing range of the machine gun, but it cannot block the justice falling from the sky.
The shells exploded in the Japanese army, like blooming flowers of death.
Blast a large area of Japanese troops into pieces.
"The commander of the cover division retreats."
Several guards dragged Matsui back at high speed.
Fortunately they were not far from the turn.
He quickly turned to the corner of the canyon, avoiding the firing angle of the artillery.
"Division Commander, Division Commander."
Several guards shook Matsui.
However, Matsui was already unconscious at this time.
One of the guards gritted his teeth and slapped Matsui twice.
These two slaps obviously had some personal grudges, and Matsui's face instantly swelled up.
However, the effect was immediate.
Matsui woke up instantly.
"Bah, what?"
Matsui felt something foreign in his mouth and felt very uncomfortable.
Spit it out directly.
When the thing spat out on the ground, Matsui could see it clearly.
What he spat out turned out to be a tooth.
