The artillery of the Yamazaki brigade was fierce, the fortifications were useless, and the guard battalion of Commander Liu was directly and heavily damaged under the bombardment of artillery fire, and a battalion was directly wiped out after a short period of positional battle with the Yamazaki brigade.

The commander of the second company died heroically in the artillery fire, and the battalion commander Liu didn't even have time to be hurt by the sacrifice of his old comrades-in-arms for many years.

The wounded company commander covered his arms and ran to Camp Commander Liu from behind the dirt slope with his arms and gunsmoke on his waist.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander!"

Battalion Commander Liu turned his head, and the fragments of the shell cut through his cheek, bringing out a not shallow blood mark, mixed with the smoke of gunpowder, like a coalburner who had just crawled out of the kiln.

Battalion Commander Liu grabbed the collar of a company commander and roared: "What are you doing here with me?" You don't see that the devils are about to charge, so why don't you hurry up and organize your comrades to prepare for the devil's attack! ”

The commander of the first company said: "Battalion commander, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce, we have no chance to fight back at all, Lao Zhou...... He has already died. ”

"Enough, now is not the time to be sad, the second company commander sacrificed to defend the arsenal and hospital, in order to defend the arsenal and field hospital, our guard battalion is all killed, and we must not take a step back, the reinforcements from the headquarters will arrive, we must hold on."

Company commander, return to your combat position at once, and prepare to fight to the death! ”

"Yes...... Battalion commander, Comrade Han Madman, they are back! ”

Battalion Commander Liu followed the gaze of the company commander, and the commando team, under the leadership of Han Feng, no one was carrying two boxes of grenades and rushed towards the guard battalion.

"Nonsense, there are only a dozen of them, and they are also sent to death when they come, you go and stop Comrade Han Madman, and let them quickly transfer with the minister." Battalion Commander Liu ordered.

The first company commander smiled bitterly: "Battalion commander, it's too late, they have already come, I misunderstood them, they didn't run away from the battle, they should have gone to the minister to ask for grenades." ”

While the two were talking, Han Feng had already rushed to the guard camp with the commando, and at this moment, more than half of the guard battalion was killed or wounded, and the Japanese army temporarily stopped the fierce artillery fire and began to touch the position of the guard battalion.

"Comrade madman, why did you come back again?"

Battalion Commander Liu looked at the grenade boxes carried by the commandos on their shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "The devil's artillery fire is too fierce, and our grenades are not enough to see." ”

Han Feng said: "Battalion Commander Liu, how is the situation now?" ”

"The situation is very bad, you are right, this devil's firepower is strong, when it comes to positional warfare, my guard battalion is not an opponent at all, and half of the comrades have been killed or wounded."

Han Feng asked, "Camp Commander Liu, the devil is about to touch it, what are you going to do?" ”

Battalion Commander Liu took off his hat and rubbed it on his cheek fiercely, the blood stained on his earth-gray military cap, which was clear and distinct, he spat at the dark earth, and said firmly: "Swear to live and die with the arsenal, our guard battalion will all die in battle, and we will never let the little devil step into the arsenal half a step."

I've already thought about it, and when the devil touches it, after emptying the ammunition in the gun, I will start a white-knuckle battle, and Lao Tzu will fight with the little devil this time. ”

"Battalion Commander Liu, if you fight hard, our people are not the opponents of the Yamazaki Brigade at all, the little devil has two bayonets, you should also know this, we can't have the upper hand in white-knuckle combat.

I have an idea, can Battalion Commander Liu lend me the comrades of your guard battalion for command? ”

Han Feng's eyes showed confidence and perseverance, Battalion Commander Liu is a veteran, he has been a soldier for so many years, he is brave and fearless, and he has never been afraid of death.

He has won battles and lost battles, he can't do anything else, and when it comes to death, he is never afraid to charge.

It's just that he has never seen such a confident and resolute gaze, and it comes from the eyes of such a young warrior.

It is said that the young Lin Shuai's eyes are as confident and resolute as this, but Battalion Commander Liu has never seen it with his own eyes.

He just knew that under the confident gaze in front of him, he had chosen to believe it for no reason.

"Okay, comrade madman, how do you say to fight?"

Han Feng said: "Since this is the case, then I will say it directly, Battalion Commander Liu, you have also seen that we want twenty-four boxes of grenades from the minister, one box of grenades has thirty, and these twenty-four boxes of grenades are seven hundred and twenty grenades, plus the grenades in the hands of Battalion Commander Liu's guard battalion, it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 grenades, and our remaining soldiers can almost get eight or nine each."

Let's distribute the grenades, all the fighters will have them, and when everyone is ready, open all the back covers of the grenades, and when the little devil is within thirty steps, our soldiers must throw all the grenades within a minute, regardless of the results.

Remember, we don't have long-range artillery fire, this is the only chance we have this time, and everyone must endure until the last moment of attack.

After the grenades were thrown, the whole guard battalion put on their bayonets and blew the trumpets of the charge, and the safety of the arsenal and field hospital was all up to you. ”

Battalion Commander Liu was stunned when he heard this, and the first company commander was not much better.

After a long while, Battalion Commander Liu reacted and said to the stunned company commander: "What are you still doing in a daze?" According to the idea of the mad comrade, he quickly arranged it. ”

"Yes!"

The commander of the first company took the order and left, and said a temporary farewell to Han Feng with admiration.

The order of the guard battalion was stationary, and the execution of Battalion Commander Liu's orders was extremely efficient, and within two hundred steps of the devil's touch, twenty-four boxes of grenades, plus grenades that had not been used in the hands of the guard battalion, were assigned to each soldier in the guard battalion, and each soldier also had at least six grenades.

Everything was ready, and the remaining more than 100 centaurs of the guard battalion held a grenade in their hands, hooked the pull ring with one finger, and waited with bated breath for the Japanese to approach.

"Sixty steps!"

"Fifty steps!"

"Forty steps!"

"Thirty steps!"

…… Jihei Yamazaki was watching with a telescope in the rear, he was a little puzzled, he couldn't see the figure of the enemy behind the dirt slope from the telescope, and even when his Yamazaki brigade touched in, the other party didn't seem to have any response.

Could it be that this Eighth Route has been completely killed by its own artillery fire?

Yamazaki Jihei shook his head, in all wars, artillery fire only suppresses firepower, and the final end of the battle always depends on bayonet assault and all-out charge.

Annihilating the enemy with artillery alone is pure wishful thinking.

But why didn't the enemy move at all? Yamazaki didn't know what to do for the time being, he watched through his binoculars as his soldiers approached step by step, leaving only thirty steps from the enemy's fortifications, and it only took one charge, a few breaths, for his soldiers to rush up the dirt slope and occupy the enemy high ground.

But at this moment, Jihei Yamazaki immediately saw a scene from the telescope that made his scalp tingle......
