    "Boom!" Illumination bombs were fired into the sky through mortars, illuminating the originally dark land as if it were daytime.  The silhouette of the attacking US military appeared. Some alert US soldiers immediately jumped to the ground, but more US soldiers just froze for a moment and then continued to charge forward.

    "Click! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of intensive heavy machine gun fire was intertwined with the sound of mortars and infantrymen firing at their maximum rate of fire.  The American soldiers who were charging were covered in blood. Under the intense firepower, flowers of blood bloomed on their bodies. Then they fell to the ground and could no longer run.  Artillery shells exploded in the dense formation of the US military, leaving stumps and broken arms everywhere.

    "Kill! Kill all these white ghosts!" The commander of the Japanese mercenary army waved the command knife in his hand and shouted excitedly.  Under the light of the fire, their expressions looked so ferocious.

    The U.S. military continuously launched attacks on positions controlled by the Chinese army, and was hit by intensive firepower.  They didn't know that what they were facing at this moment was not the Chinese Army, but the more ferocious Japanese mercenaries.  After General Oshima Yoshimasa obtained thirty heavy machine guns and thirty mortars from Admiral Gaochang, he used them all on the frontline positions, plus the heavy machine guns and mortars equipped by the Japanese mercenaries themselves.  , which brought their firepower to a new level.  If it were not for the lack of large-caliber artillery, the combat effectiveness of these Japanese mercenaries could definitely be improved to another level.

    "Heavy machine gun cover! Damn it! The firepower of these Chinese is too fierce!" A U.S. second lieutenant officer lay on the cold ground and yelled heartbreakingly.  His platoon, which consisted of more than thirty troops, suffered most of its casualties in just a few minutes.  Such a loss filled his heart with fear.

    The US heavy machine gunners had just set up their heavy machine guns, but a mortar shell fell next to them.  After the shell exploded, several heavy machine gunners were no longer alive, and the heavy machine gun was also blown into parts.

    The killing continued, and flares continued to rise from the positions defended by the Japanese mercenaries, illuminating the positions like daylight.  Then the Japanese mercenary soldiers hid in the trenches and used their weapons to harvest the lives of these American soldiers.  Although the US military's attack was very violent, it was still unable to break through in the face of powerful firepower.

    "Lie down! Lie down! Mortars and destroy the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower!" shouted a US military captain.  His company was completely suppressed there, unable to even lift its head, let alone attack.  Even after launching the attack, he was still full of confidence and thought he could win.  But now he discovered that this attack was a complete disaster for them.

    Several US military mortar gunners hurriedly set up the mortars. Setting up the mortars under intensive enemy firepower, the pressure they endured was indeed very great.

    "Boom!" After finally setting up the mortar, they began to fire at the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point.  A shell blasted over and immediately blew up the heavy machine gun firepower point into the sky.  But before the US military officers and soldiers had time to cheer, a row of bullets hit several mortar gunners. Several mortar gunners were hit and fell next to the mortar.

    "Son of a bitch!" the US military captain cursed secretly.

    The battle was very fierce, and the Japanese mercenaries relied on intensive firepower to kill the attacking American officers and soldiers crazily.  Under the intensive firepower, the US military suffered heavy losses, and its morale also dropped rapidly.

    "Come on! Kill all these Americans!" Thousands of Japanese mercenary soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the US military with rifles with bayonets. The shining bayonets and flares continued to fall in the sky.  Under the illumination of the light, it shines with an icy light.

    The stocky Japanese mercenaries have great morale. On the other hand, the US military almost collapsed under the attack of the Japanese mercenaries.

    When the Japanese mercenaries launched a counterattack, they were unable to resist and could only retreat.  Japanese mercenaries took the opportunity to break into the American troops and massacred them with bayonets in their hands.

    "Oh God! The ones fighting us are not the Chinese, but these Japanese dwarfs! They are more vicious than the Chinese!" Many American officers and soldiers discovered that it was Japanese mercenaries who attacked them.  However, after understanding this, they no longer had the courage to continue fighting.  Countless previous battles have proven that the tall American soldiers are no match for the short Japanese mercenaries when it comes to bayonets.  On the battlefield, thousands of Japanese mercenaries chased more than 20,000 American troops.

    "Those sons of bitches, they have disgraced us Americans!" General Pershing almost got angry to death when he saw this.  He had an absolute strength advantage, but was defeated by those Japanese dwarfs, which made his old face?Where to put it!  If he had been defeated by the Chinese Army, General Pershing might have felt that this was excusable.  However, they were defeated at the hands of Japanese mercenaries, which shocked him very much!

    The pursuit of the Japanese mercenaries did not stop until they reached the front of the US defense line. It was not that they did not want to continue the pursuit, but that the US heavy machine guns, mortars and mountain artillery all opened fire.  The dense artillery shells fell, immediately curbing the Japanese mercenary offensive.  After reacting, the Japanese mercenary soldiers immediately turned around and fled towards their own positions.

    However, the response of these Japanese mercenaries was still slow.  In anger, General Pershing gave the order to the artillery to fire, and directly asked the artillery to prepare for thirty minutes of artillery fire to directly obliterate the Japanese mercenaries!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense artillery shells once again fell on the positions defended by the Japanese mercenaries. Those Japanese mercenary soldiers who had not fled back to their positions were the targets of key strikes.  Many Japanese mercenary soldiers were torn to pieces directly in the explosion of artillery shells!

    "Idiot! The Japanese really don't use their brains when fighting!" General Gao Chang, commander of the 6th Group Army, cursed secretly.  Obviously, the US military's attack will not end so easily, and the Japanese mercenaries must also be prepared for a long battle.  Thousands of soldiers were used to launch a counterattack. Do you think that these few thousand soldiers can defeat the US military?  After losing thousands of people, the Japanese mercenaries' frontline defense will definitely have problems.

    "Order the artillery to attack the US military!" Although he cursed like this, General Gao Chang still ordered the artillery to fight back.  No matter what, these Japanese are working for the Chinese now, so they can't just ignore it!

    However, although the Chinese Army¡¯s artillery launched a fierce counterattack against the US bombardment.  But because in the dark night, the position can only be judged by the firelight emitted by the enemy's artillery during shelling, this will cause a large error.  In addition, the U.S. Army's artillery positions are also widely dispersed, which makes the hit rate of the Chinese Army's artillery very low and has little impact on the U.S. Army's artillery.

    On the other hand, the position defended by the Japanese mercenaries was completely immersed in a sea of ??fire.  The fierce bombardment by the US military put the Japanese mercenaries under great pressure.  Defense fortifications were continuously destroyed, trenches were blown up, and the casualties of soldiers were extremely heavy.

    When the half-hour shelling ended, the Japanese defensive positions were already in a mess.  Many heavy machine gun firepower points were destroyed, and some mortars and infantry guns that the US military had time to hide were also blown up. This had a great adverse impact on the Japanese mercenaries' next stage of defensive operations.

    After the shelling ended, the U.S. military launched another attack.  General Pershing issued a very strict order to the commander of the 37th US Army, requiring them to take down the positions occupied by Japanese mercenaries. If they failed to complete it, he would be severely punished.

    Under the order of General Pershing, the US military had no choice but to fight tooth and nail.  The commander of the 37th Army of the US Army even organized a war supervisory team. If the frontline troops retreated without authorization, they would be punished as deserters, and the heavy machine guns of the warlord team would attack them.

    Under such circumstances, the U.S. military showed a strong will to fight.  Although the Japanese mercenaries were also very tenacious, they suffered heavy losses from the US bombardment, and there were big holes in the defense line.  So much so that the US military broke through the defense line several times. If General Oshima Yoshimasa hadn't dispatched the reserve team in time, I'm afraid they would have been defeated by the US military.

    The battle was very fierce, with both sides fighting fiercely on the battlefield to seize positions.  The U.S. military invaded Japanese positions several times, but was driven out. The casualties on both sides were very high.

    At three o'clock in the morning, General Pershing ordered the 38th U.S. Army to join the battle.  In less than three hours, daybreak will come.  The Chinese Air Force will definitely join the fight by then.  However, the U.S. artillery had to be concealed. Under the circumstances, it became even more impossible for the U.S. military to defeat the Japanese mercenaries.

    After a new force joined the army, the US military's offensive power was greatly enhanced. After a hard battle, it captured the second line of defense defended by Japanese mercenaries at 4 o'clock in the morning.

    General Oshima Yoshimasa was very angry. After scolding the frontline commander, he put more reserves into the first line of defense.  If one line of defense is lost, he can still explain it to General Gao Chang, but if both lines of defense are lost, then there is nothing he can do.  Therefore, General Oshima Yoshimasa also gave a fatal order to the frontline generals to hold the line of defense.

    After a hard fight, the Japanese mercenaries lost tens of thousands of troops, but they finally persisted until dawn.  Moreover, the losses of the US military are not smaller than theirs!
