The aerial bombardment finally ceased.

This entirely unheralded assault had lasted a full two hours.

Then it stopped just as abruptly, without warning.

The sudden halt to the aerial strafing left the devils of the Thirtieth Brigade, who had been crawling on the ground for two hours, somewhat disoriented.

They had crawled for so long that they were no longer used to standing.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto was, after all, an old devil who had been through many battles.

He was the first to react.

Happiness had come too suddenly.

His subordinate devils were still crawling.

Even his guards were crawling twenty meters away, ready to follow orders.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto immediately ordered:

"Immediately regroup the troops and advance toward Huoshan.

Get out of this battlefield at once!"

He didn't say a word about the wounded or the dead devils.

That didn't need saying.

Whatever they had done before, they would continue to do now.

In any case, two field hospitals would soon arrive, along with laborers and supply trains.

Let them take care of the cleanup on this battlefield!

Or perhaps it wouldn't even be necessary!

The most important task for the Thirtieth Brigade at this time was to return to Huoshan and then to Hefei.

With the threat from the air gone, the staff, guards, and radio operators of the Thirtieth Brigade headquarters all gathered around.

They attempted to set up a temporary command post around Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto.

This was to temporarily direct the next actions of the entire brigade.

This plan was immediately stopped by Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto.

He had only one order and didn't need a command post.

Most importantly, he didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

"Pass down the order: each regiment, each battalion, each company, act immediately and depart for Huoshan!"

This was actually the second order he had issued after the aerial strafing stopped.

It was no different from the first order.

This time, Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto took the lead.

As soon as he moved, the Thirtieth Brigade headquarters accompanying him also moved.

Next, Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke of the Thirty-Third Regiment, and Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto of the First Battalion also followed.

The devils of the entire Thirty-Third Regiment, in their haste, had not been able to assemble their forces properly, but had already begun to retreat in a panic along the road they had come.

The devils of the First Battalion who were lucky enough to still be standing followed behind the brigadier general with drooping heads, heading towards Huoshan.

They had only gone three hundred meters when Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto's third order came down:

"The First Battalion will send a company to scout ahead."

Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto knew, of course, that the brigadier general meant sending a company of two hundred devils to scout the way.

He definitely wasn't telling him to send only one company.

Of his eight companies, the company with the most remaining soldiers, the company of Kinomoto Keigo, had only twenty-three devils left with the main force.

Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto had no choice but to report to Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto:

"Reporting to the brigadier general: the First Battalion has a strength of one hundred and seventy-three.

Should the entire battalion be sent out?"

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto knew, of course, that the entire force had suffered heavy casualties, but he had not expected that the casualties of the entire brigade had now reached ninety percent.

A panicked expression flashed across his face, and then he responded calmly:

"Approved!"

Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto was also much more cautious now.

He didn't try to show off by personally leading the entire battalion to clear the way.

Instead, he completely reorganized all the surviving devils of the entire battalion, temporarily reorganizing them into one company, commanded by Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo.

He ordered Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo:

"Kinomoto-gekka!

The orders of the Thirtieth Brigade are in your hands."

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo looked at the planes high above.

They were no longer lowering to attack.

Then he saw no other threats.

He had no way to deal with the planes in the air, but Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo was fearless and undaunted by the infantry on the ground.

He responded loudly: "Please rest assured, Battalion Commander.

Please rest assured, Brigadier General.

The Kinomoto Company will complete its mission."

"Go!" Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto had the feeling of sending someone to their death.

He thought much the same as Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto:

After two hours of aerial strafing, he wouldn't believe it if the enemy had no other tricks up their sleeve.

But in this situation, what other reactions could they make?

Besides continuing to rush towards Huoshan, which way could they run?

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo, encouraged by Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto, had an excited red glow on his pockmarked face.

He shouted loudly to the devils who had just been reorganized from a battalion into a company:

"Advance!"

The force of one hundred and seventy-three devils quickly ran past Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto.

In fact, although the entire Thirtieth Brigade of devils had suffered heavy casualties, their physical exertion was not great.

Today's series of blows had only killed people, not exhausted them! These devils had hardly exercised at all.

Now, Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo and his devils showed Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto plenty of physical strength and high morale.

Sasaki Yuto watched the figures of these devils running past, a forced smile on his face, loudly encouraging these devils who were rushing to the front to scout for mines.

The ground attack aircraft that had been circling at low altitude had now flown to a high altitude to monitor.

Regiment Commander Ye Dadan of the Sixth Regiment ordered Company Commander Fei Gaoang of the Ninth Company and Company Commander Shi Yuda of the Tenth Company:

"Attack!"

Company Commander Fei Gaoang's excited voice was trembling slightly:

"Brothers!

Our good days have finally arrived.

This time, it's the first time our company has taken the lead in the main attack, and it's also the first time we're the first company to launch an assault.

What are we going to do?"

"Charge! Charge! Keep charging!"

Company Commander Shi Yuda of the Tenth Company was also mobilizing his company:

"Brothers!

Our Tenth Company's training has never been worse than any other team.

When the regiment commander used to assign tasks, the main attack was always assigned to the First or Second Company.

At that time, the brothers all had opinions, and I also had opinions.

We all have one head on our shoulders, so why should the First and Second Companies always occupy the main attack position?

Today, the sun has risen in the west.

Our company is in charge of the main attack, and our company is launching the first attack.

What are we going to do?"

"Advance! Advance! Advance!"

The soldiers of the Tenth Company shouted with all their might.

"Advance!" ordered Company Commander Shi Yuda of the Tenth Company.

"Charge!" ordered Company Commander Fei Gaoang of the Ninth Company.

The soldiers of the two companies completely forgot at this moment their fatigue from the continuous march of twenty kilometers.

They now had only one thought.

Charge up! Eliminate the devils!

Don't let a single devil escape, and don't let the brothers of the First and Second Companies laugh at them.

The unit left behind by the Thirtieth Brigade was the 38th Infantry Regiment.

As soon as the aerial bombardment ended, Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji began to rally his troops, organizing them for a quick retreat.

His entire regiment had suffered too many casualties in the two hours of continuous strafing.

And the devils of the entire regiment who had managed to survive were scattered too far apart.

Five minutes after he issued the order to assemble, scattered devils were still running towards the highway from a distance.

Even the troops he had already assembled were grouped by battalion.

He frowned, surveying the current strength of the entire regiment:

Battalion Commander Shimonoya Tatsunosuke of the First Battalion reported:

"Reporting to Regiment Commander Tanaka, the First Battalion should have one thousand two hundred and eighty-three devils.

The actual number of devils present is one hundred and sixty-four."

Hearing this number, Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Battalion Commander Masuno Yuta of the Second Battalion reported:

"Reporting to Regiment Commander Tanaka, the Second Battalion should have one thousand two hundred and fifty-seven.

The actual number of devils present is one hundred and seventy-nine."

Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji walked down silently, seeing that the troops here in the Third Battalion were even sparser.

Battalion Commander Tagashita Shiro reported:

"Reporting to Regiment Commander Tanaka, the Third Battalion should have one thousand two hundred and thirteen.

The actual number present is seventy."

Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji's heart ached so much he couldn't breathe.

He roared:

"Where are the other devils of the Third Battalion?"

"Reporting to the regiment commander, some are dead, some are wounded.

Those who can stand are all here."

When Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji walked in front of the Fourth Battalion, Battalion Commander Ishii Naoto reported:

"Reporting to the regiment commander, the Fourth Battalion should have one thousand two hundred and thirteen.

The actual number present is two hundred and ninety-three."

This was the only battalion in the entire 38th Infantry Regiment that still had more than two hundred devils.

Thinking that a regiment of nearly five thousand devils couldn't even muster a thousand now, Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji shed crocodile tears:

"Gentlemen! We will have to rely on you for the battles to come.

Ishii Battalion!

You have the largest number.

Stay at the rear of the column.

The other battalions, immediately depart in the direction of Huoshan."

His orders had just been issued when gunfire rang out behind him.

The Sixth Regiment's Ninth and Tenth Companies had already launched an attack on the devils.

Among the devils, some of the wounded were still resisting, exchanging fire with the attacking troops.

Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji's face turned pale.

He ordered loudly:

"Ishii Battalion, gather the wounded and build a rear guard line.

The remaining battalions, move quickly forward, and close in on the 33rd Regiment."

After giving the orders, Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji hurriedly chased after the 33rd Regiment ahead.

Battalion Commander Ishii Naoto issued orders:

"Company Commander Hasedera Ken, you take the First Platoon and organize a group of wounded to build a defense line on the left.

Company Commander Aiyama Takuma, you take the Second Platoon and organize a group of wounded to build a defense line on the right.

Company Commander Kurachi Takuo, you take the Third Platoon and organize a group of wounded to build a defense line in the middle of the road.

Everyone, be sure to encourage the wounded to join the battle."

His battalion had only a little over two hundred devils left, and Battalion Commander Ishii Naoto felt it would be very difficult for these two hundred devils to hold off the pursuers behind.

They had too few troops. If he could organize the wounded, that would be a force of over a thousand devils.

And the soldiers would fight with the courage born of desperation.

If these wounded soldiers could put life and death out of their minds, the combat power they could unleash would be very powerful.

After his orders were issued, Company Commander Hasedera Ken, who received the order first, looked at the devils who had taken the initiative to gather together.

These were all devils who had been wounded and knew they wouldn't be taken away by the unit.

They gathered in groups of three and five, expressions of helplessness on their faces.

These wounded devils, regardless of whether their injuries were light or severe, nine out of ten had no weapons in their hands.

Not only did they not have weapons in their hands, but there were no weapons around them either.

It was obvious that these devils had thrown away their weapons.

Expecting them to help resist the pursuers?

Company Commander Hasedera Ken shook his head and finally didn't go over.

He led his newly formed platoon to a small mound thirty meters outside the road and ordered the devils to dig trenches and collect the heavy weapons that the wounded soldiers had thrown away, preparing to meet the attack of the pursuers.

Of the three defensive platoons, only Company Commander Kurachi Takuo, who was guarding the road, ran in front of the wounded soldiers and roared for a while, but not a single wounded devil stood up to go to the front line.

Instead, he was cursed by the wounded devils:

You will be wounded and abandoned like us.

Now this was the most vicious curse for all the devils of the 38th Regiment.

The work of the sixty-odd devils led by Company Commander Hasedera Ken on the small mound had just begun.

The trenches they had dug were not enough to hide a pig when the attack of the Sixth Regiment's Ninth Company arrived.

Leading the Ninth Company was the First Platoon.

Platoon Leader Kong Yushu was following behind the earth tank, his eyes constantly scanning the battlefield.

Since entering the battlefield, they had been sporadically attacked by the devils, and these attacks had come from wounded devils.

These cold shots from the wounded devils had already reduced the First Platoon by two soldiers, which made Kong Yushu very annoyed.

The wounded devils would just lie on the ground and suddenly fire without any warning.

After firing, they would not run away, nor did they have the strength to run away.

They would just guard a place and keep firing at the Ninth Company.

These devils were not afraid of the hail of bullets fired by the Ninth Company, nor did they dodge in the slightest.

They just endured all the attacks head-on.

This made the Ninth Company's advance not fast.

They had to attack all the devils they could see along the way, confirming that their bodies had turned into corpses before they could continue to move forward.

There were too many devils lying on the ground, and the corpses were mixed with the wounded, making it impossible to tell them apart.

However, since the Ninth and Tenth Companies launched their attack, they had not yet encountered any organized defense from the devils.

Now it was different: the devil's defense line could be clearly seen ahead.

There were quite a few heads.

A defense line ran horizontally along the highway.

Company Commander Fei Gaoang of the Ninth Company pointed to the right:

"Company Commander Shi! The right side is yours.

The middle and left positions are mine!"

Company Commander Shi Yuda only glanced at it and nodded: "Old Fei, if it's too much trouble, I'll come over and help you after I've finished off the devils on the right."

The Ninth Company Commander ignored him and ordered:

"The First Platoon will attack the devil's position on the far left, and the Second and Third Platoons will break through in the middle!"

As the order was issued, the Ninth Company's infantry guns and mortars immediately opened fire on the devils on the defense line.

The shells exploded around the devils who were poking their heads out.

To the surprise of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company, the devils who were lying on the ground were blown into the sky, but the devils next to them didn't move at all.

They just held their guns, without the slightest wavering, and no devils ran away.

They weren't afraid at all!

Platoon Leader Kong Yushu began to charge with his troops, but they still had to eliminate the devils hiding along the way.

Those heavily wounded devils had been lying on the ground, lying in the middle of the battlefield.

Some of these devils were just lying on the ground, waiting to die in despair.

Some were different.

They had thrown away their weapons, but they still had grenades on their bodies.

Some devils piled a stack of grenades under their bodies, waiting for a chance to give the charging First Platoon a hard time.

Kong Yushu and the others were already very careful.

When charging forward, they would either shoot the surrounding devils or throw a grenade to blow them up.

Although this was a bit slower, it was effective.

Some devils would wail in pain after being shot.

Some devils, after being bombed, would struggle and pull the pin on their grenades themselves.

Piles of grenades would explode, the shrapnel flying in all directions, and the power was terrifying.

But it didn't cause any harm to Kong Yushu and the others.

The Ninth Company had been bombing the devils who were poking their heads out along the way, and only then did they discover that most of the devils were corpses.

The devils had actually arranged the corpses in a combat posture and then pressed a gun under their bodies.

From a distance, it looked like teams of devils were waiting in battle.

After learning this, the soldiers of the Ninth Company began to charge, still with the earth tank in front and the soldiers behind.

"Dada-da!"

"Dada-da!"

Both sides were using the same weapon, and the sound of the heavy machine guns was the same.

The bullets fired by the devils hit the earth tank, bursting out a string of sparks.

Company Commander Hasedera Ken was the first to order his soldiers to use corpses to confuse the enemy.

When he saw the pursuers actually using infantry guns to bombard them, he secretly rejoiced at the deception he had set up.

This allowed his already small number of devils to reduce many casualties.

However, deception could only be deception.

It couldn't scare away the pursuers.

When the soldiers of the Ninth Company really launched an attack, the heavy machine guns of the Hasedera Ken Company had to open fire.

As soon as their heavy machine guns started firing, they were immediately met with counterattacks from the Ninth Company's infantry guns and rocket launchers.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With two explosions, two flashes of fire burst out from the devil's heavy machine gun fire point, and the bodies of several devils flew into the air.

This fire point was taken out.

Platoon Leader Kong and the others had only rushed forward a few steps when there was a "Boom!"

The First Platoon was actually bombed by the devil's grenade launcher.

Platoon Leader Kong was furious and asked loudly, "Did you see where it was fired from?"

"Left front!" the squad leader shouted back.

"Heavy machine gun suppression!

Rocket launcher, hit it for me!"

Company Commander Hasedera Ken understood that they had no way out now.

If they couldn't stop these pursuers, not only these devils, but the entire 38th Regiment would be annihilated.

He ordered loudly, "Yamamoto-kun! Fill the gap."

Yamamoto Makoto shouted loudly to embolden himself.

Holding his machine gun, he rushed to the position of the heavy machine gun just now, and as soon as he pounced down, he fired wildly at the front.

These devils all understood that they would not survive today.

Yamamoto Makoto was shouting while holding the machine gun, pulling the trigger without letting go.

Tears filled his face, whether from fear or regret.

Platoon Leader Kong, who was attacking in this direction, was a little surprised.

Today's devils were more tenacious than ever!

He had just directed the rocket launcher to take out the devil's grenade launcher, and now another machine gun fire point had appeared.

He didn't know that the devil commander on the opposite side was waving his pistol, calling out the names of the devils one by one to rush to the position.

Yamamoto Makoto, holding the machine gun, hadn't even finished a magazine when he was hit by several heavy machine gun bullets and fell to the ground.

Company Commander Hasedera Ken immediately ordered, "Inoue, Kinoshita, you go!"

Yamamoto Makoto's machine gun was still there, and they just needed to have the devils fill the gap.

Fire points were also being taken out elsewhere.

Company Commander Hasedera Ken loudly ordered the devils to fill the gaps, doing everything he could to ensure that there was a fire point on the first line of defense.

No matter how hard Company Commander Hasedera Ken struggled, he only had sixty-odd devils under his command.

And of these sixty-odd devils, five had disobeyed orders and were executed on the spot by him.

Without executing the devils on the spot to warn the others, the remaining devils would not rush forward so desperately when their names were called.

Even so, the section of defense that Company Commander Hasedera Ken was in charge of was soon lost.

He could only lead the last dozen or so devils to retreat.

This time, Company Commander Hasedera Ken no longer organized any resistance.

His retreat went straight after Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji.

The collapse of the defense line on Company Commander Hasedera Ken's side caused Company Commander Kurachi Takuo and Company Commander Aiyama Takuma, who were still holding out, to follow suit.

They immediately wanted to retreat.

However, these two teams had not made preparations beforehand like Company Commander Hasedera Ken.

These two companies had no depth.

All the devils were on the front line.

In this situation, they were entangled with the attacking troops, and it was impossible to retreat.

These devils panicked and all thought about getting up and running first.

Every devil had this idea.

They were caught up by the Tenth Company, and the Second and Third Platoons of the Ninth Company.

Now it was bayonet fighting, a time for blood to be seen.

The devils who had no will to fight could not possibly beat the Ninth and Tenth Companies, who were full of morale.

In less than ten minutes, the devils left behind by Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji were reduced to only a dozen or so devils who were still running away.

The Ninth and Tenth Companies continued to pursue, and at this time they discovered that there were actually quite a few devils.

However, most of these devils had not participated in the previous battle.

After breaking through the devil's defense line, devils in groups of three and five were everywhere behind this line.

They weren't corpses.

These were all wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs, but they all looked at the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade charging up with bright eyes.

Not a single devil made a sound.

From their hate-filled eyes, Company Commander Fei could see what these devils were thinking:

They would not surrender.

Squad Leader Ito Shinsan was originally a local tyrant from Kameyama.

Coming from a wealthy family, he had always wanted to join the Imperial Army since he was a child.

Because his family had money and power, he was admitted to the Imperial Military Academy.

After graduating from school, he came to this battlefield.

He was unlucky.

He had just graduated and participated in such a big battle, and he had been wounded in the recent raid.

At this time, he was really afraid.

He wanted to surrender, because he thought that as long as he surrendered, the other party would know his identity, or he could have his family pay a lot of money to redeem him.

Anyway, his family's company had a history of more than 1,500 years, so they had money.

Squad Leader Ito Shinsan looked at the devils around him and understood from their eyes that they would not surrender.

Now he saw the officer chasing after them and saw that there was no hesitation in his eyes, no sympathy, only hatred.

Squad Leader Ito Shinsan immediately understood that the other party would not spare their lives.

So Squad Leader Ito Shinsan used all his strength to shout:

"Please wait!

I surrender!

We surrender!"

Without waiting for Company Commander Fei's response, Squad Leader Ito Shinsan was already ordering the devils in his squad:

"I order you to lay down your weapons and surrender!"

He was the squad leader, and among this group of thirty-odd wounded, he was the highest-ranking officer.

In normal times, if the officers of various teams were killed in battle, the highest-ranking devil on the scene would take command, and Squad Leader Ito Shinsan should take command.

Now he was ordering the devils here to surrender, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Squad Leader Ito Shinsan thought that his efforts to survive would soon be successful.

But something happened that he didn't expect.

Sergeant Yanashita Shiro from his own squad said hatefully:

"You were the ones who said we should fight, and now you're the ones who want to surrender.

Your family has money, so you can be redeemed after you surrender.

What can we do after we surrender?"

Sergeant Yanashita Shiro finished speaking these hateful words, took out a grenade, pulled the pin, and didn't throw it out.

Instead, he pounced on Squad Leader Ito Shinsan.

Squad Leader Ito Shinsan took a step back, and Sergeant Yanashita Shiro, who was injured in the leg, didn't pounce on him.

Instead, he lay prostrate at his feet, quickly reaching out and hugging Squad Leader Ito Shinsan's thigh, grinning and saying:

"You run! You run!"

"Boom!"

The grenade exploded as he shouted.

Company Commander Fei ordered: "Continue the battle!"

There was no need to show mercy to these devils who were unwilling to give up their weapons even in death.

They couldn't tell which of these devils had weapons and which didn't.

Every devil infantryman had four grenades.

They were sitting or lying down, hiding the grenade and pulling the pin.

It was really impossible to defend against!

As the company commander, he certainly couldn't let his soldiers be threatened like this.

The meaning of continuing the battle, of course, was to eliminate all the wounded devils.

The brigade commander was right:

"Only dead devils are good devils!"

When Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji of the 38th Infantry Regiment led the last four hundred devils of the entire regiment and hurriedly caught up with the 33rd Regiment, they discovered that Brigadier General Sasaki was also here.

And they were encountering no small trouble.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto had led his troops less than a thousand meters when the Kinomoto Keigo Company, which was clearing the way, was blocked.

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo was commanding his newly formed company, trying hard to charge forward.

This time, the hail of bullets fired by the team blocking them was impenetrable.

Even before his company of devils could get close to the enemy's defense line, they had already suffered more than fifty casualties.

The already small number of devils had suddenly lost more than fifty.

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo had no choice but to retreat his troops.

As a result, as soon as his troops retreated, they were educated with a big slap in the face by Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke:

"Baga!

Pig!

Idiot!

Right now, right under our noses, we need you to break through the Nationalist army's blockade in one fell swoop and carve out a path for the entire brigade to survive.

But you're greedy for life and afraid of death, bringing your troops back."

"Hai!"

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to defend himself.

He could only endure these slaps.

After slapping him a few times, Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke gave him a piece of candy.

He handed over the two hundred-odd devils organized by Major Kitamura Yasuta to Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo to command.

"You! If you still can't break through the defense line this time, don't come back! Commit suicide on the spot!"

In fact, Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke knew clearly in his heart that if they still couldn't break through the defense line blocking them this time, all of these devils would definitely die here.

The few slaps he had just received had turned Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo's face red and purple, but the regimental commander had given him more than two hundred devils.

This was a typical case of being given an important task!

He became excited, drew his command saber, and shouted towards Huoshan:

"Kill!"

This time, the devils reappeared in front of the positions of the Third and Fourth Companies, one hundred and fifty meters away.

They had started being attacked here last time.

This time, the positions here were quiet!

The defending troops on the opposite side didn't even open fire.

This phenomenon excited the devils who were charging, and they began to charge while shouting.

On this plain, the hundred-odd meters on the flat ground could be crossed in twenty-odd seconds at most.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto, who was watching from a distance, felt a glimmer of hope again in his heart:

Perhaps there weren't many Nationalist troops blocking them on the opposite side, and they were afraid in the face of such a fierce charge.

One hundred meters! The devils had charged to within one hundred meters of the positions of the Third and Fourth Companies.

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo, who was charging, suppressed his wildly beating heart.

He was so afraid that the sound of gunfire would ring out from the opposite side at this moment.

Fortunately, the opposite side really didn't fire.

Several hundred devils watching from a distance had expressions of joy on their faces.

Could it be that the team that had been ambushing them had already run away?

They had encountered such things before.

When fighting the Nationalist army, anything could happen.

Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke had a look of wild joy on his face at this time.

As long as they charged forward another fifty meters, just fifty meters, even if the defending troops opened fire, it would be too late.

If nearly three hundred devils charged into fifty meters, a z突 (pig assault) would allow them to charge into the position of the ambush team.

Then it would be time for bayonet fighting! Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke thought that the 33rd Regiment was sure to win.

Fifty meters! Fifty meters from the defending troops' defense line, and they still didn't fire.

Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke suppressed his wildly joyful mood and shouted loudly: "The troops of Major Futaba Daichi and Major Funamura Akira, attack immediately!

Kill!"

As a regimental commander, his command saber was very different from that of low-ranking officers.

The workmanship and materials were much better.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto also drew his command saber and pointed it at the position in front:

"Everyone, move forward together!"

This time, not only the two battalions that Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke had just commanded, but even the devils of the 30th Brigade headquarters charged forward together.

They had just charged out less than twenty meters when Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji, who was chasing from behind, saw the brigade commander's command saber pointing forward.

He quickly ordered:

"38th Regiment!

Kill!"

The entire 30th Infantry Brigade of devils, all the devils here, except for one brigade commander and two regimental commanders who were not charging, and the remaining devils, concentrated to about the size of a battalion, all charged forward.

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo led his troops into the fifty-meter line, and his heart was already blossoming with joy.

This time, the feat of the entire 30th Infantry Brigade turning the tide would be accomplished by him.

Next, as long as he didn't die, the position of major would be assured.

He stopped quietly, letting the devils under his command charge ahead! Now was the time to think about himself.

As long as he didn't die, promotion was a sure thing!

Company Commander Qi Xuan of the Third Company and Company Commander Gui Yehua of the Fourth Company stared nervously at the devils charging up.

They had already buried directional mines in front of the position.

When the devils attacked for the first round, there were too few of them.

The two company commanders thought it would be too wasteful to use directional mines, so they had used a hail of bullets to drive the devils back down.

Now, seeing that there were more than three hundred devils charging in front, they were ready to use directional mines.

Happiness had come very suddenly, and surprises always arrived unexpectedly.

The devils charging in front had not yet reached the battlefield, and then seven or eight hundred devils charged up from behind.

These devils were completely coordinating!

The two company commanders watched the devils charge into the fifty-meter distance, and they didn't move.

Watching the devils charge into the thirty-meter distance, they still didn't move.

Only when the devils charged into the fifteen-meter distance did they give an order:

"Detonate!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and explosions rang out continuously.

Brigadier General Sasaki Yuto watched the last thousand-odd devils under his command, all covered in smoke, and he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Although his eyes couldn't see clearly, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

The other side had been patient for so long, waiting until the Kinomoto Keigo Company charged within a dozen meters of the position before pulling the pin and detonating.

The last strength of the entire brigade would definitely not have a good ending.

Now was the time to survive alone.

He retracted his command saber pointing in the direction of Huoshan, his face as white as snow, and didn't say a word.

He chose a direction, bent down, hunched his body, and ran away quickly.

Regiment Commander Noda Yusuke and Regiment Commander Tanaka Seiji followed him silently.

The three devils formed a triangular formation and rushed towards the west.

As soon as the directional mines exploded, Company Commander Qi Xuan of the Third Company and Company Commander Gui Yehua of the Fourth Company immediately ordered:

"Charge!"

The bugler jumped up and stood on the trench, and the loud and majestic bugle sounded:

"Doo-doo-doo!"

"Doo-doo-doo!"

...

The soldiers of the Third and Fourth Companies all rushed out of the trenches with their rifles, and the shining bayonets stabbed towards the devils in the front.

Just now, Company Commander Qi and Company Commander Gui had waited for two seconds when giving the order, in order to wait for the last group of devils to enter the ambush circle of the directional mines.

This meant that some of the devils in the front had not been hit by the directional mines.

The sixty or seventy devils charging in the front were the last elites of the entire 30th Brigade of devils.

Their ability to charge in the front proved that these dozens of devils were very strong in terms of physical strength, courage, and morale.

Now they were fighting with the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Companies with bayonets.

Behind these devils, there were thousands of devils who had been ambushed by the directional mines.

Among these devils, several hundred had survived by chance.

Company Commander Kinomoto was not so lucky.

He had been trying to save his strength, waiting to be promoted to major after returning to Huoshan.

When charging, he had deliberately fallen from the front to a slightly more central position.

As a result, he had just stayed within the range of the directional mines.

He had been hit by more than a dozen iron pellets.

Although he didn't die immediately, he would never be able to survive.

Company Commander Kinomoto Keigo's eyes were glazed over, he threw away his command saber, and muttered to himself: "Regret!

Regret!"

Battalion Commander Watanabe Yuto had also died in the explosion just now.

Battalion Commander Kitamura Kato shouted loudly in the smoke:

"Charge! Charge!"

In the explosion just now, several devils next to him had fallen, and only he was lucky enough not to be injured.

Now he stood up and shouted loudly:

"Charge! Charge!"

However, few devils paid attention to him.

They were all still frightened by the sudden explosion just now, and hadn't recovered for a while.

However, Battalion Commander Kitamura Kato's call still received a response:

"Charge! Charge!"

Several devils shouted as they approached his position.

It was Battalion Commander Funamura Akira who had rushed over with a few devils after hearing the sound.

Seeing Battalion Commander Kitamura Kato, Battalion Commander Funamura Akira had a ferocious expression on his face:

"Battalion Commander Futaba Daichi has already died in the line of duty.

I only collected so few devils on the way here."

As he spoke, the command saber in his hand suddenly swung down, cutting down a devil who was running backwards.

A head flew up, and a pillar of blood spurted out.

He roared:

"Forward! Charge!"

Battalion Commander Funamura Akira's slash frightened the devils who were following behind this devil.

They couldn't help but stop.

Battalion Commander Kitamura Kato was not to be outdone.

He had been shouting for so long, but he didn't have a single follower by his side.

Everyone was a battalion commander, so why was he doing so poorly?

Obviously, he was not decisive enough
