Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "General, those yellow-skinned monkeys have broken through our first line of defense, and we are fighting with them for the line of defense!" In the headquarters on the back of the high ground, a second lieutenant officer reported to the commander guarding Highland No. 1.  A total of one division was deployed on Highland 1, and another division served as a reserve.  Everyone in the U.S. military believes that with its solid defenses, the Chinese army can bleed blood here.

    "Oh God! In just one hour, have the Chinese broken through our defense line?" Brigadier General Mayne asked in surprise.

    "General, our opponents are not the Chinese, they are the Japanese! Those Japanese with small stature and bandy legs. They charged at our defense line without fear of death. At the same time, artillery fire continued to bombard our defense line. The front line suffered heavy losses.  Several defense lines have been breached. Now the Japanese are engaging in hand-to-hand combat with our soldiers!" said the second lieutenant officer.

    "Damn it! Let Colonel Ronald's troops go to support immediately and drive the Japanese out no matter what!" Brigadier General Mayne ordered.

    "Yes, General!" After the second lieutenant saluted, he immediately went to deliver the order.

    On the Japanese mercenary position, General Oshima Yoshimasa was very satisfied after seeing that the US military's defense line was breached.

    "Haha! Ishikawa-kun, I know that the Americans are not vulnerable at all. They have strong firepower, but they are easily broken through by our warriors?" General Oshima Yoshimasa said happily.

    "Yes, Your Excellency General, the Americans are just powerful with their weapons. In terms of fighting will, they cannot compare with the Japanese samurai! I have ordered the soldiers of the second brigade to also launch an attack. We will soon be able to fully capture the United States."  The human defense line is down!" Major General Taro Ishikawa said.

    However, as soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the high ground changed.  Thousands of U.S. troops rushed down from the high ground and entered the first line of defense. Cooperating with the U.S. troops holding on within the defense line, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese mercenaries.  The Japanese mercenaries, who did not have much of an advantage to begin with, were immediately defeated under attacks from both front and rear.  A large number of Japanese mercenaries were killed, and only a few were driven off the high ground in a state of complete turmoil.

    "I'm very sorry, General. I will immediately organize troops to recapture the position!" Major General Taro Ishikawa said sweating profusely.

    "Try your best! Ishikawa-kun, Chinese generals, but I have been paying attention to our battle. I hope that our performance will not let them have any impact on our Japanese mercenaries, and I don't want those Korean stickmen to see our jokes.  !" General Oshima Yoshimasa said!

    "Yes, Your Excellency, General!" Major General Taro Ishikawa said quickly.

    General Oshima Yoshimasa glanced at him and then left.  Afterwards, Major General Taro Ishikawa issued an order for all officers and soldiers of the 7th Division to attack the high ground.  Two hours later, almost all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese mercenary 7th Division died under the US Army's No. 1 Hill.  However, their desperate attack also caused huge casualties to the US military.  The 95th Division of the US 24th Army guarding Highland 1 suffered heavy losses. More than a thousand soldiers were killed and seriously injured, with even more minor injuries. The total casualties had reached 30%.  If Lieutenant General George hadn't strictly ordered them not to retreat, this division would have retreated to the rear to rest.

    After the attack of the Japanese mercenary 7th Division failed and the entire division suffered almost all casualties, the division commander, Major General Taro Ishikawa, committed seppuku.  After General Oshima Yoshimasa learned the news, he didn't say much, but ordered another division to take over the 7th Division to continue the fierce attack on the US military positions.  The huge casualties not only made no Japanese mercenaries afraid, but also inspired their bestiality to kill the red-eyed mercenary soldiers, regardless of casualties, and launched a fierce attack on the US position.  When the casualties of two successive divisions were exhausted, the U.S. 95th Division had already lost its combat effectiveness. The replacement U.S. 96th Division also suffered heavy losses, and the entire defense line was somewhat shaky.

    After the day's battle, the highlands on both sides of the Hartianjis were still under the control of the US military.  But the entire defense line is already full of holes. If the US military hadn't reinforced the troops in time, I'm afraid it would have been captured by Japanese mercenaries.  The Japanese mercenaries also suffered huge casualties in today's battle. More than 20,000 people were killed. There were basically no serious injuries. All seriously injured soldiers asked their comrades to end their lives. In the contract between the Japanese mercenaries and China,  Japanese soldiers who died in battle could receive a pension of two hundred Chinese dollars, while those who were seriously injured received only one hundred Chinese dollars.  Therefore, many seriously injured Japanese soldiers will ask their comrades to end their lives, on the one hand to end the pain, and on the other hand to get more pensions so that they can earn more pensions for their families in Japan.

    After the sun went down, the fighting temporarily stopped. After a day of fierce fighting, both sides were exhausted.

    At the command of the Chinese militaryInside the headquarters, General Oshima Yoshimasa was reporting today's battle situation to General Dingkun and General Du Qizheng.  !

    "Two generals, today's battle is very fierce. We have tried our best. More than 20,000 soldiers have been killed. The American defense line is very strong. However, we have also caused huge casualties to the Americans. Their defense line  We are already in danger, and I promise the two generals that we will be able to capture the high ground of the US military tomorrow!" General Oshima Yoshimasa promised.

    "General Oshima, we have all seen the performance of the Japanese mercenaries. Their performance is very good and we are very satisfied. We hope that in tomorrow's battle, the Japanese mercenaries can continue to carry forward their tenacious fighting style and defeat  Americans!" General Xie Dingkun said with a smile.

    Hearing what General Xie Dingkun said, General Oshima Yoshimasa's worries completely dissipated. What he fears most is that China will be dissatisfied with today's attack by Japanese mercenaries.  Afterwards, General Oshima Yoshimasa assured Generals Xie Dingkun and Du Qizheng that the Japanese mercenaries would launch a more violent attack tomorrow, defeating the Americans in one fell swoop and clearing the obstacles to the march to Hartianjis.

    "Lao Du, the Japanese's combat power is really good. Compared with our regular army, especially those that have just been formed, they are not weak at all. If they are equipped with our standard weapons, maybe they can get them today.  Let¡¯s get down to the highlands on both sides of the Hartian Angis!¡± General Xie Dingkun said after General Oshima Yoshihashi left.

    "Yes! But the Japanese are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. For our own safety, it is very necessary to limit their weapons, lest these little Japan bite us back after they develop and grow!" said General Du Qizheng.

    "Well! The Japanese are good cannon fodder, but they are just cannon fodder. Once they have other ideas, we will kill them without hesitation. Now on the Mexican battlefield, there are half a million Japanese mercenaries still there.  There are 200,000 Japanese mercenaries, and I don¡¯t know how many will be left after this battle!" General Xie Dingkun said with emotion.

    "No matter how many are left, there are still tens of millions of Japanese on the Japanese archipelago. All these mercenaries are dead and they can be recruited. In Japan, isn't being a mercenary a good way out?" Du Qizheng  The admiral smiled.

    General Xie Dingkun nodded with deep understanding. The Second Army has been stationed in Japan for many years, and he also knows Japan very well.  As the Prime Minister of Japan, the pro-China Saionji Konobo has fully grasped all rights in Japan with the help of China.  Now, the whole of Japan is promoting enslavement education. All Japanese regard becoming a second-class citizen of China as the highest honor. Japan's elite believe that only by relying on China can Japan have a future.  Under such circumstances, unless China fails in the war, it is absolutely impossible for Japan to betray China.

    The US military is also summarizing today's battle. In today's battle, although the Japanese mercenaries paid the price of nearly 20,000 killed, the casualties they caused to the US military were also huge. More and more people were seriously injured and killed.  More than 10,000 people stood up, and countless others were slightly injured.  Almost all the four divisions of the US 24th Army responsible for defending the highlands on both sides of Hartianjis suffered heavy losses. Counting the slightly injured soldiers, the total casualties reached almost half.  In the West, after the troops suffered such heavy casualties, they have lost their combat effectiveness!

    "General George, the 24th Army has suffered too many casualties. We can no longer persist in tomorrow's battle. Those Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys are simply inhuman. Facing our intensive firepower, they actually dare to attack, as if they have no  Treat life as one thing! General, please allow my troops to withdraw and rest, otherwise, I am worried that the 24th Army will suffer casualties as a result!" the commander of the 24th Army said excitedly.  It was only the first day, and one-fifth of the people were killed or seriously injured. Counting minor injuries, the entire 24th Army had already suffered more than half of its casualties. He had never encountered such a tragic battle since he joined the army.  Yes, this made him feel deeply afraid.

    "General, you have to know that this is the first day of the battle. The Chinese are just testing our strength. Therefore, except for the Chinese artillery, the most elite Chinese troops did not participate in the battle today.  What they sent were simply poorly equipped mercenaries.

    ?? Could it be that our well-equipped U.S. regular army cannot even defeat those Japanese dwarfs?  Although the 24th Army suffered heavy casualties, I believe that the Japanese suffered even greater casualties. Maybe tomorrow they will not dare to attack as fiercely as today.  General, the 24th Army must hold its position tomorrow and hold on for at least three days!  "Lieutenant General George said!
