    "Oh God! Lieutenant General George, you are committing murder! In today's battle!, my army has already suffered more than half of its casualties. If we persist for one more day, all of my army will die on the high ground. You want my army?"  It is simply impossible to persist for three days!" The commander of the 24th US Army jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said with a very exaggerated expression and tone.

    "Your Majesty, Major General, I firmly believe that your army will persevere.

    Today, your military losses are heavy, but I believe that the losses of those Japanese dwarfs are several times that of yours.  They are already timid, and their attack tomorrow will not be as fierce as today!  I promise you, if those Japanese attacks are so strong again, I will replace you with other troops!  "Lieutenant General George said.

    "Okay, okay! Lieutenant General, you are the biggest here, you have the final say! I also hope that the Japanese will not dare to launch a large-scale attack tomorrow! However, this possibility will be very small. However, Lieutenant General  Your Excellency, I always think that the Chinese tactics are too despicable. They use the Japanese to fight us. No matter how many people they lose, they will not feel bad. The Chinese population is much larger than ours, and the number of troops is also much smaller.  There are much more than us. If this continues, it will be very disadvantageous for us!" said the commander of the 24th US Army.

    "Your Excellency, Major General, this is not something that you and I have the final say on. Let's wait until you become the Minister of War before we talk about this! Now, it's time for you to organize your defense. I hope that your defense line will not be attacked by those Japanese troops tomorrow.  Little Man breaks through!" Lieutenant General George said.

    "Yes, Lieutenant General!" The commander of the 24th Army had no choice but to leave.

    On January 29, at 7 o'clock in the morning, when the sun had just emerged from the horizon, Japanese mercenaries were already ready for battle.  Yesterday's huge casualties did not greatly affect their morale. In other words, when they joined the Japanese mercenaries, they had already guessed such a result.  For Japanese mercenary soldiers, joining the army, dying in battle, and being able to receive generous pensions for their families may be their greatest use.

    "Everyone, yesterday we deployed six divisions to attack the highlands on both sides. I know that we fought a very difficult battle. The American weapons are much more advanced than ours. However, the situation on the battlefield is also unknown to us.  We all know very well that the American will to fight is extremely fragile. Under the desperate attack of the warriors, they are no match for us. Therefore, although defeating the Americans is difficult, it is not impossible. Yesterday, I  I have promised the commander of the Chinese army that we will capture two highlands today. I hope you will not let us down!" General Oshima Yoshimasa looked at the division commanders and said loudly.

    "Hai! General, we will definitely complete the mission!" The division leaders replied one after another.

    In the distance, the artillery of the Chinese army is also ready for battle. Thousands of heavy artillery are divided into three parts.  Heavy howitzers and heavy cannons with a caliber above 155 mm will be used as weapons to suppress US artillery.  Once the US artillery starts shelling, they will be responsible for destroying the US artillery.  The remaining 105mm light howitzers were divided into two parts to suppress the highlands on both sides of Hartianjis!

    At 7:30 in the morning, Chinese artillery began to bombard the US military positions. Dense artillery shells fell on the high ground on both sides of the Hartianjis, with fire splashing and gunpowder smoke filling the air.

    "Damn it, the Chinese attack started so early, it seems that today's battle will be even harder to fight!" Major Thomas, the U.S. battalion commander, cursed.  During yesterday's battle, only one-third of his battalion's strength was left, and he himself was scratched on his arm during hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, his guards rescued him in time, otherwise, he would have been injured long ago.  Go see God.  Originally, he could have retreated to the back to recuperate, but he chose to continue fighting with his comrades.  Yesterday's battle allowed him to see the horror of this war. At this time, of course he was unwilling to leave his soldiers.  These soldiers, almost all of whom came from the same Kansas farms as himself, were good young men, and he hoped to bring as many of them back as possible.

    "Companies, prepare to fight. Yesterday the Japanese attack was very fierce, but their losses were also heavy. Today, we must also be prepared for a bloody battle!" Major Thomas ordered.  There were more than 200 people left in the battalion, huddled in the artillery cave, huddled and enduring the artillery fire from the Chinese army.  Artillery shells continued to explode above their heads, and the entire high ground seemed to be shaking. Dust fell from the top of the artillery hole, and the American soldiers hiding inside became disgraced.  However, no one cares about this anymore. On this cruel battlefield, being able to save one's life is considered very good!

    After half an hour of shelling, Japanese mercenaries launched an attack.  This time, General Oshima YoshimasaThe forces of two divisions were invested at once, each attacking a high ground.  Moreover, General Oshima Yoshimasa has prepared enough reserves. When the front division suffers heavy losses, the following division will quickly replace them.

    General Oshima Yoshimasa is also full of confidence in today's attack.  Once he successfully captures the US military position, he will undoubtedly gain importance in front of the Chinese generals.  At least it can be proven that Japanese mercenaries are much more powerful than Korean mercenaries!

    "The Chinese Empire is on board! Kill! Kill all those white ghosts!" A large number of Japanese mercenary soldiers shouted slogans and rushed towards the US military position with bow-legged steps.  That indomitable momentum deeply shocked the American soldiers defending on the high ground.

    "Enter the position! The heavy machine guns and mortars are all set up and ready to fire!" The grassroots officers of the US military also led their troops into the position to prepare for the battle.

    "Boys, listen, don't think of those Japanese dwarfs as human beings. Just think of them as beasts. Kill them all. If you don't kill them, we will be the ones who die!" Major Thomas added to some new additions.  said the soldiers of their battalion.  Most of these soldiers were rookies who had never been on the battlefield. After seeing the desperate attack of Japanese mercenary soldiers, they would be more or less afraid.

    "Ta-ta-ta! Boom-boom-boom!" The sound of dense gunfire rang out on the US military position. These US soldiers used their weapons to fire wildly, hoping to eliminate all the invading Japanese mercenaries.  In yesterday's battle, they had already witnessed the brutal hand-to-hand combat after the position was breached.  No American soldier who survived yesterday's battle is willing to experience such a battle again!

    "Puff, puff, puff!" The bullets shot into the body at high speed, making a deep sound. One by one, the Japanese mercenary soldiers fell to the ground after being shot.  Those soldiers who were hit by large-caliber heavy machine guns had their bodies cut into two pieces. Some of the soldiers who did not die immediately let out miserable howls like ghosts and wolves.

    "Charge! Charge up and kill all those white ghosts!" The junior commanders of the Japanese mercenaries waved their command swords and took the lead in rushing to the front!  This role of leading by example is an important reason why Japanese mercenaries are not afraid of death in battle.

    Some Japanese mercenary soldiers rushed to a place less than a hundred meters away from the US military position. They lay on the ground and started shooting at the US military.  Although the firepower of the US military is very powerful, the marksmanship of Japanese mercenary soldiers is generally very accurate, and they will not suffer at all from shooting at this distance.  American soldiers were constantly being killed, leaving a bullet hole in the helmet on their head.

    Although the Japanese mercenaries suffered very heavy casualties under the intensive firepower of the US military, under their successive charges, the casualties of the US military gradually increased, and some lines of defense were almost breached by the Japanese mercenaries.  .

    At 10 a.m., after three hours of hard fighting, the Japanese mercenaries were once again repulsed. This time, General Oshima Yoshimasa replaced his troops with new troops.  The addition of new forces made the US military's position even more precarious.

    At 10:40 a.m., the defense line on the mountainside of Highland No. 1 was first broken through by Japanese mercenaries. A large number of Japanese mercenaries rushed into the US military trenches and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the US military.  The U.S. military, which suffered heavy losses, was retreating steadily and was about to be captured by Japanese mercenary soldiers.  Once the Japanese mercenaries gain a foothold on the mountainside, they will be able to transport a large number of light artillery up and attack the US military at close range. By then, it will be even more difficult for the US military to hold the high ground.

    At this time, the commander of the US military once again dispatched the reserve team.  Thousands of U.S. soldiers rushed down from the high ground and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese mercenaries, trying to drive the Japanese mercenaries out of the U.S. positions.

    The Japanese mercenaries, who were fighting fiercely with the U.S. troops on the defense line, once again lost their advantage on the battlefield under the attack of the U.S. military reserves, and began to retreat after being oppressed by the U.S. troops.

    "Baga, what happened? Are we going to fall short again?" General Oshima Yoshimasa said angrily.

    "Your Excellency, General, we must immediately reinforce the front line, otherwise our soldiers will be driven back!" A major general division commander suggested.

    Lieutenant General Oshima Yoshimasa shook his head, and then ordered to the signal corps: "Get in touch with the Chinese artillery immediately and ask them to launch indiscriminate bombardment of the highlands!"

    "Your Excellency, General, our people haven't been torn off yet!" Several major generals and division leaders said nervously.

    "No need to tear them down, let them be loyal to Japan!" General Oshima Yoshimasa stubbornly ordered!
