At the headquarters of the 35th Division, the Japanese were exhausted physically and mentally after a day of fighting. This was the most exhausting battle they had fought since entering Daxia.
As night fell, all the little Japs fell asleep. Even the Japs on guard fell asleep with their rifles in hand, because they were so tired that they could fall asleep standing up.
The 3rd Guard Army, which also experienced a day-long battle, after resting for 3 hours, marched 11 kilometers to form an encirclement around the headquarters of the 35th Division of Toyo Kingdom.
Chen Jie, commander of the 31st Infantry Division, looked at his watch. It was now 2:55 in the morning. According to the plan, the artillery would launch an artillery bombardment at three o'clock sharp, and his 31st Infantry Division would be the main attack, launching a full-scale attack on the 35th Division.
"remember."
Chen Jie said to his three regimental commanders, "Let me attack his headquarters first. No need to take prisoners. Kill them all."
"clear."
Watching the time passing by, the two rear artillery regiments were all in place. 48 122mm howitzers, 48 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and 90 75mm field guns. A total of 186 artillery pieces were waiting for orders.
"Set up and shoot Zhu Yuan, three rounds of volley fire."
"Remember," the artillery regiment commander said to the artillery commander, "three salvos must be fired within 30 seconds, because after 30 seconds, the frontline infantry will launch a charge."
"clear."
The commander came to the artillery position, looked at his watch and shouted, "Fire."
The 186 artillery pieces shook their bodies, and they all let out a deafening roar, like roaring at the Japanese. The shells also burst out at this moment, drawing perfect arcs in the dark night.
Immediately afterwards, the second round of shells took off again.
"Boom--"
"Boom."
"boom."
A violent explosion sounded at the 35th Division's station, and the fire directly dyed half of the sky red.
The Japanese barracks and tents were directly overturned by these 186 steel shells. The Japanese inside were blown to pieces and were killed before they could even scream.
Soon, the second round of shelling and the third round of shelling came one after another. Within 30 seconds, all three rounds of shelling came. A total of 558 shells hit the 35th Division station heavily.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Chen Jie gave the order and began to lead the 31st Infantry Division to launch a full-scale attack.
At this time, the Japanese opened their eyes with difficulty. Ando Kazuya quickly ran out and looked at the sea of fire in front of him. He suddenly shouted in horror, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
As the enemy attack command was shouted, the Japanese soldiers quickly gathered, picked up the weapons on the bedside and began to enter the counterattack state.
"Da da da."
The 31st Infantry Division began to suppress fire. Dozens of Czech light machine guns took the lead and fired at the Japanese who had just walked out of the barracks. Because they had just woken up, their eyes were illuminated by the fire and they suddenly couldn't open their eyes. At this time, the light machine guns started Shoot them.
Behind the 35th Division's headquarters, the 32nd Infantry Division also began to press forward step by step, compressing the little Japanese.
The 33rd Infantry Division, on both sides, also began to advance forward, forming an encirclement around the 35th Division. Now it began to shrink its pockets and carry out a crushing massacre of the little devils.
A sudden attack completely disrupted the 35th Division's position.
Due to the fighting during the day, more than half of the major regiments were lost, resulting in the major regiments losing a certain degree of combat capability. Originally, Ando Kazuya planned to reorganize his troops early tomorrow morning, but unexpectedly, the Daxia troops were Actually launched a night attack.
This was simply beyond his imagination.
Because when he saw that the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, he thought that the troops of Daxia Kingdom should be even more so, but now it seems that he was wrong.
"Organize a counterattack for me!"
Kazuya Ando shouted loudly that the two brigade commanders were also actively directing the troops to counterattack, and they must not let the Daxia troops rush in.
"idiot!"
The commander of the 351st Infantry Brigade saw the smell of blood and barbecue everywhere under his feet. He angrily pulled out his samurai sword and commanded his troops to fight back.
Because the moment he pulled out the katana, the katana was reflected by the fire, and this reflection was also discovered by the precision shooters inside the 31st Infantry Division, who immediately raised their guns and fired.
"boom!"
"Bang bang!"
More than a dozen precision shooters hit the target, and the commander of the 351st Infantry Brigade was beaten into a hole on the spot. He looked at his body with horrifying eyes, and then slowly fell down.
Immediately afterwards, the 31st Infantry Division assembled 80 mortars to counterattack the firepower points of the Japs and suppress the organized resistance Japs with firepower.
"fire!"
80 mortars instantly hit the Japanese camp, and the shells quickly exploded and killed the Japanese.
"ah!"
"Mama-san!"
"Help, I want to go home!"
The Japanese shouted in pain. After a day of fighting during the day, they were physically and mentally exhausted. They slept soundly at night. In their dreams, they dreamed of sushi made by their mother. However, they were suddenly attacked, which almost caused them to collapse.
"Kill me!"
Chen Jie led the troops to continue the charge. At this time, the soldiers were already red-eyed. Thinking of the Oriental soldiers burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil in their land of Daxia, they fought back with all their strength.
The remaining two infantry divisions also began to massacre the little devils. More than 80 SG43 heavy machine guns, plus more than 300 Czech light machine guns, violently attacked the little devils. Who can withstand this firepower? live?
Ando Kazuya looked at the battle situation around him. He shook his dizzy head, and then pulled out his katana. This katana was worn by His Majesty the Emperor himself. This is also the honor of their Ando family.
He knew that he was probably going to die today. Although he was very unwilling to do so, the Bushido spirit he had learned since childhood was driving him not to give up and to keep moving forward.
"Warriors of the Great Eastern Empire!"
Kazuya Ando raised his katana and shouted loudly, "Fight back."
"Come on!"
The surviving Japanese soldiers began to fight back frantically, but in the eyes of the guard troops, this was no different than committing suicide.
"Reputation value +1600...Reputation value +15000"
"I'll take it."
Su Yu was so surprised that he couldn't speak when he saw the reputation value increased by 15,000. The division commander of the Eastern Kingdom was too valuable, five times as much as the army commander. Good guy, one person is worth an artillery regiment.
Now, after two days of fighting on the front line, he has gained a total of 210,000 reputation points from the 35th Division, which is almost equivalent to saying that the reputation value that a division of Japan can contribute to him is around 250,000.
And now 210,000 have been obtained, which proves that the 35th Division has been almost destroyed.
