Chapter Seventy-Seven: Don't Worry About Others

The attack began at 7 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of Chinese soldiers swarmed along the mountain, and the crooked machine guns on the devil's position spewed out tongues of fire "suddenly", although they could not be compared with each other in terms of strength, but the devils were all veterans of a hundred battles, calm and ferocious, and the various fire points on the defensive positions were intertwined into a web of death. In an instant, the brothers in the front row fell down, and the formation of the 82nd Regiment that was originally pressed in front was a little chaotic, and the second echelon was quickly pushed up in the shouts of the officers.

Many of the recruits didn't know anything at all, and just put their guns away with their senses, and some just ran around with cats on their waists, using trees, rocks, and everything else that could be used as cover, so that in the process of charging forward, they would be less exposed to the rain of bullets. In contrast, the veterans were much more sleek while calming. As they fired back, their feet were slippery like loaches, and some of the recruits with active brains had begun to imitate their movements as soon as they learned it.

He followed Hu Laosan with a limp, and he had no strength at all, but he still strode fast in order to survive.

The Japanese heavy weapons at Songshan blocked the positions they were going to attack, and then became a sea of artillery fire, and the Chinese positions were full of huge flowers of destruction, and the one-sided artillery battle freed up the Japanese artillery to adjust the deployment, and replaced it with anti-personnel ** to carry out a large-scale strike. The shelling became more and more dense and accurate, and a large stream of rising gunpowder smoke engulfed the entire mountainous area, and the ground rumbled and trembled as if it was about to collapse, and even many Chinese soldiers who were lying in ambush in the earth ditch were shocked to death.

After most of his body was buried in the soil, the lame five was dug out by Hu Laosan, and his eyes were at a loss for what to do, and there was blood and corpses everywhere. The blood on the chest of the big nephew Luo on the side was still flowing, but the whole person had already lost his breath. The horror of the eighteenth floor of hell made Cripple Five terrified again, he really didn't know whether it was a war or a death, and the impassioned words of the pre-war commanders became an inverse joke in retrospect.......

Hu Laosan's two fierce slaps made the lame five finally come back to his senses. Hu Laosan pointed to the back, leaned into his ear and shouted: "Withdraw!" If you don't want to die, run away with Lao Tzu. Only then did he see that the soldiers of the 82nd Regiment were retreating down the mountain, and immediately threw off his legs, ran all the way to a safe place, and looked around, how could it be the campsite that was attacked by the devils last night, and he was busy for a long time, and he was beaten back again.

For the officers of the 82nd Regiment and even the new 28th Division, this was undoubtedly an unacceptable time for them and did not imagine that they would lose, and they would lose so badly. At present, the small position of the devils, they have been deployed in detail, and an infantry regiment, with the fire support of the independent mountain artillery battalion, was almost defeated by the devils in front of them, what kind of concept is this?

Looking at the fingers that Master Liu pointed to his nose, Commander Huang was speechless. The formidable firepower displayed by the defenders of Matsuyama in previous battles did not at all match what was claimed in the military reconnaissance report.

The attack on the position in the afternoon became much more cautious, and after another attack was still fruitless, Commander Huang found his subordinates and ordered the formation of a death squad to prepare for a surprise attack at night to tear open the entrance to the position for the brigade. He was inspired by the small Japanese army last night, and when a small number of soldiers had time, they could give full play to their advantages, and it was not feasible to treat their bodies and minds in the way of others. What kind of name the death squad is, recruits like Cripple Five don't know at all. It's just that when Hu Laosan was selected into the death squad, the deputy company commander who replaced Luo's nephew asked him by name, which made Hu Laosan angry for a long time, and scolded the eighteenth generation of ancestors of the deputy company commander in person.

"Lao Tzu dares to die!" Hu Laosan scolded angrily afterwards, took out the treasure-like canned beef in his pocket and looked at it for a long time, and threw it to the lame five, "Take it first!" If I can't come back, I'll give it to you! ”

Only then did the lame five know that the death squad was going to play with their lives.

At night, the position of the devils returned to its usual tranquility, and the Chinese troops who stopped attacking made the Japanese soldiers who held their positions feel very bored......

When the death squad of more than 100 people came over in the dark, it happened that several devils came out of the dark castle to pee. They eat and drink in all directions, and occasionally they come up and walk around and move their muscles and bones. One of the devils stood on the ammunition box, popped out of his small body, pointed in the direction of the Chinese position, and said something arrogantly, and the devils in the trenches let out bursts of laughter after listening to what he said.

The soldiers of the death squad were crawling in the forest belt that had been blown up by the devils during the day, and the brothers in the front row could almost see the molars in the devils' mouths.

Leading the team was the commander of the 3rd battalion, Ma Eryan, a native of Henan, who served as the main attack during the day, and the commanders and deputy commanders of the other two battalions were killed in battle, and he was slightly wounded in the battle. The devils on this position have been firing flares intermittently, and Ma Er Yan ordered the death squad to act cautiously and move to the front line in the gap between the bright lights, not wanting to expose the target too early.

Ma Eryan is a guy who can't be thicker anymore, and he usually talks with his mouth open and closed, "Grandma is a bear", even if he is the same as his boss, but this old man has a lot of momentum in battle, and the soldiers under his command also obey him. This time, the death squad selected people in the whole regiment, almost all of them were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, in order to be able to enter the devil's position in one go this time.

The only exception is the lame five.

There is no doubt that Cripple Five is a person who makes up the number, but Hu Laosan wants to bring this person alive and dead, saying that this person is a guy who is a great blessing and great creation, and he can get some luck with him, and he announced with a big grin that he will look at Cripple Five and don't have to worry about other people.

In fact, the lame five came to the death squad precisely because they were afraid of death. He felt that it was safest to follow Hu Laosan, if he stayed in the camp of the large army, in case another group of devils sneaked attacked, there would not even be anyone around to take care of him. Cripple Wu can't know a few brothers in the whole group, and he usually looks down on people with his fellow villagers, this honest man has long regarded Hu Laosan as his only life-saving straw. For this kind of inexplicable psychological dependence only that recruits have, Hu Laosan couldn't be clearer, but he didn't say it, when he said that he also wanted to join the death squad, the veterans next to him were laughing, but they were swept left and right by Hu Laosan's cold gaze, and these people stopped laughing.
