    At 8:30 in the morning on January 28, 1912, the Chinese Army's artillery fire was transferred from Hartianjis to the highlands on both sides of the town. The dense artillery shells fell on the hills on both sides, destroying these areas with a relative height of less than 100 meters.  The hills are all shrouded in smoke.

    "Damn it, the Chinese have placed the main target of their attack on the highlands on both sides. They want to capture the highlands on both sides first, and then attack the Hartian Angis! Order the frontline troops to hold the highlands on both sides.  !" Lieutenant General George ordered.  Whether the highlands on both sides of the Haltiangis can be held is directly related to whether the U.S. military can hold the Haltiangis.  Once the highlands on both sides are captured by the Chinese army, the Chinese army can be condescending and fully utilize its firepower advantage.

    On a flat land five kilometers away from Hartianjis, Japanese mercenary commander General Oshima Yoshimasa summoned a group of division commanders and issued an order to attack!

    "Everyone, General Xie and General Du have issued orders asking us to capture the highlands on both sides of the Hartianghis. This is the trust placed in us by the great Chinese army. We must defeat the Americans and let the Chinese generals see  Our fighting power!" General Oshima Yoshimasa said.

    The expressions of all the division commanders were a little unnatural. They were all old men in the Japanese Army. Although their military literacy was somewhat behind the times, they were still considered very good among the Japanese Army.  They have all observed that although the fortifications built by the US military on the highlands on both sides of the Haltiangis are not impregnable, if they are filled with human lives, they will definitely leave corpses everywhere.

    "Your Excellency General, the fortifications built by the Americans on the highlands on both sides are very strong. They are all composed of circular fortifications with a large number of permanent firepower points, trenches and bunkers. To conquer such fortifications, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties."  A short middle-aged general said worriedly.

    "Baga! Ishikawa-kun, what is your attitude? Are you cowardly? You are now the commander of the mercenary major general division. Have you lost the courage of a samurai?" General Oshima Yoshimasa shouted!

    "I'm sorry, General!" The middle-aged general who was scolded by General Oshima Yoshimasa immediately apologized sincerely. He was none other than Major General Taro Ishikawa, the commander of the Japanese mercenary seventh division.

    "I know that it is very difficult to conquer the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis. However, we are all Japanese warriors, and this difficulty is simply insignificant to us.

    What¡¯s more, the Chinese army will provide us with fire support. We must give full play to the bravery of the Japanese samurai and defeat the Americans!  "General Oshima Yoshimasa said.

    "Hai!" a group of Japanese division commanders said quickly.

    "Ishikawa-kun, your Seventh Division will be responsible for Highland No. 1 on the left, and Highland No. 2 on the right will be responsible for the Third Division. Even if we fight to the last man, we must defeat the Americans and capture the high ground.  !" General Oshima Yoshimasa said.

    "Hai, your Excellency, General!" Major General Taro Ishikawa and another middle-aged general quickly took the order.  Although they knew that this task was very difficult, they had no way of refusing.

    At nine o'clock in the morning, after Chinese artillery shelled the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis for half an hour, the Japanese mercenary 7th Division and the 3rd Division immediately launched attacks on the highlands on both sides.

    "The Chinese Empire is on board! Japanese mercenaries are on board!" A large number of Japanese mercenaries held rifles and bent their waists, and launched an attack on the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis.  These Japanese mercenaries are equipped with Type 89 rifles that have been eliminated by the Chinese Army, and they have to carry two grenades on their waists. This is considered the standard equipment of ordinary Japanese mercenary soldiers.

    "Ta-ta-ta! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The heavy machine guns and mortars of the Japanese mercenaries also opened fire, providing fire cover for the soldiers.

    "Hey! Get into position quickly, the yellow-skinned monkeys are rushing up! The first company goes to the left, the second company goes to the right, and the third company defends the central area!" ordered Thomas, the battalion commander of the U.S. Army Major.  His defense area was the western section of the first line of defense on Highland No. 1 on the left side of Haltiangis.  The defense line of less than one kilometer was defended by more than 700 people from his battalion.  When the Chinese artillery launched a fierce bombardment, they all hid in the pre-prepared anti-gun caves and waited until the bombardment was over before entering the position.  The anti-gun cave is very strong. After digging a hole in the mountain and then reinforcing it with reinforced concrete, it can effectively prevent the bombardment of heavy artillery!

    "Quick, quick, quick! Set up the machine guns, those yellow-skinned monkeys are coming!" ordered the grassroots officers of the US military.  Although the Chinese artillery bombardment did not cause many casualties to them, the fortifications were blown to pieces. Many fixed firepower points were destroyed, and many barbed wire fences and deer villages were destroyed.

    "Fire! Kill those yellow-skinned monkeys!" A U.S. Army second lieutenantroared loudly.

    "Da da da! Bang bang bang!" The heavy machine guns, light machine guns and rifles of the US military opened fire crazily at the attacking mercenaries. The dense bullets hit them, and the Japanese mercenaries! Blossoms of blood bloomed on their bodies.  One by one they fell to the ground.

    "Kill! Kill those white ghosts!" The casualties of their comrades not only did not make these Japanese mercenaries timid, but also aroused their animalistic nature of resistance. They bent their waists and rushed towards the US military's defensive positions step by step.  go.

    "Covering fire! Mortars, knock out the American heavy machine guns!" a Japanese mercenary squadron leader yelled.

    The battle was very fierce. The Japanese mercenaries of the two divisions launched fierce attacks on the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis.  The U.S. soldiers stationed on the highlands used their superior firepower to kill the attacking Japanese mercenary soldiers.  After the U.S. Army suffered successive losses at the hands of the Chinese Army, they learned from the Chinese Army in all aspects. Although it was still a light infantry organization of more than 12,000 people, its firepower was very powerful. The platoon level was equipped with heavy machine guns and  Mortars, each division also has an artillery battalion equipped with 24 light 105 mm artillery pieces.

    Although the Japanese mercenaries fought very bravely and were not afraid of death, their bodies of flesh and blood could never compete with steel.  Under the intensive firepower of the US military, Japanese mercenaries piled corpses at the foot of the mountain.  After most of the Japanese mercenaries rushed to the foot of the mountain, they were immediately shot and killed by the condescending US military. Basically no one could escape.

    "Boom! Boom!" Two mortar shells fell into the U.S. trenches, killing several U.S. soldiers who were operating a heavy machine gun to kill Japanese mercenaries on the spot. The heavy machine gun was also blown into parts.

    "Charge up, charge up! Kill all those white ghosts!" Taking advantage of this gap, many Japanese mercenaries rushed towards the high ground.

    The 100-meter-high construction site is not steep, which makes it easy for Japanese mercenaries to rush up.  However, the intensive firepower on the US military position became an insurmountable chasm. Many Japanese mercenary soldiers who were charging were killed, and then their bodies rolled down from the high ground. On the contrary, the comrades who were climbing behind were also killed.  Tired.

    Taro Ishikawa, commander of the Japanese mercenary 7th Division, watched his soldiers being killed continuously, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.  Although he does not care about the lives of these ordinary soldiers, for the various mercenary divisions, soldiers have become an important guarantee for the power of their division leaders. Once all the soldiers die, they will have little power within the mercenary army.  There is no status anymore.  In Japan, there are still many old military officers from the Emperor's period waiting to replace them!

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Americans' defense is too strong, and our people simply cannot fill it. My brigade has suffered more than half of its casualties so far!" A colonel officer reported to Taro Ishikawa dejectedly.

    "Baga!" Taro Ishikawa cursed, then slapped the brigade commander twice, and shouted loudly: "If all your soldiers are dead, then you go and charge in person. You won't have already  Have you forgotten how to fight like a samurai?"

    "Hai! Don't worry, Division Commander, I will prove to you that I am a qualified warrior!" the brigade commander said in a deep voice, and then immediately returned to the front line.

    A few minutes later, the Japanese attack became more fierce. Although the intensive firepower of the US military was still massacring these Japanese mercenaries, their attacks were still very sharp.  A large number of Japanese mercenaries stepped on the corpses of their dead comrades and charged towards the high ground. Not long after the battle began, a thick layer of corpses was already piled up below the high ground.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" Sergeant Duck is a light machine gunner. Since the battle began, the machine gun in his hand has not stopped. Fiery bullets are shot from his machine gun, killing all the attacking Japanese mercenaries.  die.  The barrel of the gun had turned red, but Sergeant Duck didn't notice it at all.  He was completely numb and all he knew was to pull the trigger and kill the Japanese mercenaries who were climbing up the high ground like ants!

    "Crack!" The clear sound of the firing pin striking was heard, but no bullet was fired.

    "Damn it, why did something suddenly go wrong?" Sergeant Duck cursed secretly.  However, at this time, he had no time to repair it. He threw the machine gun aside, grabbed a rifle and continued to fire.

    At this time, several Japanese mercenary soldiers had already taken the opportunity to rush forward.  Several grenades were thrown into the trench, blowing up the American soldiers inside.  Japanese mercenary soldiers jumped into the trenches, holding rifles, and started fierce hand-to-hand combat with the US military.  Although, American soldiers are all very powerful and have great innate advantages in hand-to-hand combat.  But in terms of technology, they cannot compare with Japanese mercenary soldiers at all, and they are even intimidated by the Japanese mercenaries' fearless and fearless momentum!
