After completing the change of defense, the Seventh Company waited for the next attack of the Japanese devils, and Shen Yunjie wanted to see the power of the Japanese devil's machine gun and how it was operated, so he chose to stay by Li Moran's side.

Similarly, Lao Cai was also very curious and chose to stay by Li Moran's side, after all, Li Moran is now Lao Cai's soldier, and it is understandable for Lao Cai to stand next to him.

In this way, Shen Yunjie is on Li Moran's left, and Lao Cai is on Li Moran's right.

Li Moran glanced left and right. These two people made Li Moran a little uncomfortable. "Company commander, I'm a little nervous with you two next to me."

"It's okay, you just use the two of us as air."

Li Moran had no choice but to give up after hearing Shen Yunjie's response.

Just as the two of them finished speaking, a cannonball swished, and then exploded in Shen Yunjie's position, although the explosion point was fifty meters away from Shen Yunjie and the others, but Shen Yunjie and the others were still buzzing in their ears by the explosion, and the buzzing continued for several seconds. Thankfully, there were no casualties.

Some of the brave and curious people stuck their bodies out of the trenches to observe what was happening, and there were also many people in other positions who poked their heads out to look at the position of the Seventh Company.

Li Moran knew very well in his heart that it was the Japanese devils who were testing just now, and then they would definitely bomb on a large scale, Li Moran looked at many people watching the excitement on the sidelines, and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone quickly hide, this is the devil's test firing, and the official shelling is about to begin."

Shen Yunjie next to him was also a little confused at this time, but looking at Li Moran's appearance, he was very anxious, so he couldn't take care of it, and shouted with Li Moran: "Everyone hide, everyone hide." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly hid back in the trenches and looked for a place to hide.

Sure enough, just as Li Moran said, six or seven shells fell on the position of the Seventh Company in an instant. As the shell exploded, the surrounding earth and rocks were blown up several meters high and scattered in all directions. It looked like a bouquet of blooming flowers.

Within a few minutes, bunches of "earth flowers" bloomed in the Seventh Company's position.

Li Moran reminded everyone that the casualties of the Seventh Company were not very large. But there are also unlucky ones who are too close to the explosion point and are blown up beyond recognition and become a puddle of rotten meat. Some were injured by flying rocks.

Shen Yunjie looked at the mess in front of him and cursed: "The Japanese devil of the horse egg, Lao Tzu is now the very edge of the entire position, and he will fuck blow up Lao Tzu first." ”

Li Moran next to him explained, "Company commander, you don't know, devils are generally used to bombing in order from left to right."

"No, from left to right, but our current position is on the far right, why do you bomb us first" Li Moran explained that Shen Yunjie was even more puzzled.

Li Moran had no choice but to remind Shen Yunjie, "Company commander, you forgot that the devil is now the opposite of us, and our right side is exactly the left side of the devil." ”

Only then did Shen Yunjie fully understand.

The devil's shelling is really exactly the same as what Li Moran said. After three rounds of shelling, the Japanese devils began to bombard the position next to the 7th Company, and then the sound of shell explosions was getting farther and farther away from the 7th Company's position.

Shen Yunjie breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned his back against the trench and looked at Li Moran and Lao Cai: "You say that this Japanese devil is engaged in a sneak attack, and he still has artillery?" They're too blatant, aren't they? ”

Lao Cai, who was next to Li Moran, echoed, "Who said it wasn't, this looks like a sneak attack?" Everything. ”

"Company commander, you don't know, the Japanese devils only send a small reconnaissance force to reconnoiter whether there are enemy troops and enemy fortifications along the way during the day, and the devils' large troops will only move at night, and they will choose a relatively safe route to advance. In this way, even those trucks and cannons are not easy for the enemy to detect. ”

"I see, this Japanese devil is not stupid" Shen Yunjie then understood why the devil was still carrying artillery when he went deep behind enemy lines.

After more than ten minutes, the sound of artillery gradually became louder again, and the shells of the Japanese devils exploded again in the position of the Seventh Company.

On the opposite side of the devil's position, Nakamura Hirono watched as the shells fell one by one on the position of the Eighth Route Army, "What a pleasant sound you hear"

A soldier from the headquarters came to the front of the position and reported to Nakamura Hirono, "Your Excellency, there is a call for you. ”

Only then did Hirono Nakamura return to the command headquarters from the forward position.

Hirono Nakamura walked into the command headquarters and took the phone, "Hey, this is the 163rd Wing"

I only heard the other end of the phone say, "I'm Sakagaki, where are you now?" ”

Nakamura Hirono didn't dare to speak for a while when he heard Sakagaki's two words, he was nervous and scared at this time, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead. The reason why Nakamura is so scared is because he has not yet arrived at the designated location as instructed.

On the other end of the phone, seeing that Nakamura Hirono didn't answer, a voice came again: "Hey? Can you hear ME? Why don't you speak? ”

Nakamura Hirono said cautiously, "Back to the chief, our current position is in Lijiagou."

The other side of the phone was directly angry, "Yaga, what's the matter with you?" Haven't reached the designated location yet? ”

Nakamura Hirono wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, "Sir, I have encountered stubborn resistance from the Shina army here. But rest assured, sir, I'll be able to solve the problem right away. ”

"You listen to me, I don't need any explanation, I just look at the results. Tomorrow morning, our army will launch a general attack on the Chinese army, before that your unit must reach Yuanping to cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army, this time I will completely annihilate the Chinese defenders. After the phone was finished, he hung up.

Nakamura Hirono held the phone in his hand, and was stunned for half a minute, making sure that the other side had hung up the phone, and then slowly put the phone back, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand. That's right, in just a few minutes of fairy tale, Hirono Nakamura wiped his sweat several times.

Hirono Nakamura put down the phone and said to the herald, "Order all squadrons to increase their attacks and be sure to take the opposite position within two hours." ”

Immediately after the shelling stopped, the Japanese launched an attack on the positions of the 735th and 716th Regiments.

As soon as the sound of the Lijiagou artillery stopped, gunfire rang out again.

Li Moran looked at the devils who were getting closer and closer, and his left shoulder against ** aimed at the devil was a strafing shot.

Shen Yunjie next to him sighed after watching Li Moran use the crooked handle, "The machine gun rate of the Japanese devil is quite a lot"

Li Moran glanced at Shen Yunjie and didn't speak, after Li Moran finished firing thirty bullets, the cat began to reload in the trench.

"Is the machine gun of the Japanese devil so troublesome to use?"

Li Moran on the side changed his bullet and nodded at Shen Yunjie.

Shen Yunjie was full of praise just now, and in a blink of an eye, he began to dislike it: "Why do I feel that this is not as good as our machine gun?" It's just powerful. "But what Shen Yunjie said is not wrong, the shortcomings of this gun are too obvious.

"It's true that changing bullets is a bit too time-consuming," Lao Cai also felt that this gun was not easy to use.

After the reinforcement of the 716th Regiment, the defensive pressure of the 735th Regiment was obviously much smaller than before, especially the 3rd Battalion.

The 7th and 8th companies were combined, and the firepower density was much stronger than before.

Soon the Eighth Route Army repelled the first attack of the Japanese devils.

However, the frequency of the Japanese devil's attacks gradually accelerated, and the first wave of the offensive was just blocked by the Eighth Road, and then the next wave of the offensive was immediately launched.

The fierce battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils continued until nightfall, and the Eighth Route Army defended every inch of its position with its life and blood.

Up to now, more than one-third of the 735th Regiment has been killed, and many have suffered serious and minor injuries, and the 716th Regiment joined the battle late, and the position is on the flank, so the casualties are currently less than one-third.

Nakamura Hirono was anxious to see that his troops could not move forward, but because he currently did not have a searchlight and ***, plus it was dark all around now, if he forcibly attacked at this time, it would be tantamount to a suicidal attack. Nakamura had no choice but to give up.

When the Eighth Route Army saw that the Japanese devils had not moved for a long time, they understood that the devils should not attack again.

The commander of the 716th Regiment came to the position of the 735th Regiment with a battalion.

Feng Yipeng knew in his heart that this battalion was to help him assist in defense, Feng Yipeng looked at his current position and then looked at the commander of the 716th Regiment, Feng Yipeng only said two words "thank you"

"You're welcome, we're all brothers," the head of the 716th Regiment said with a smile.

Three battalion positions.

"It's been so long, and there hasn't been any movement on the devil's side, I guess the devil shouldn't attack," Shen Yunjie said to the third battalion commander what he was thinking at the moment.

"But don't be careless, let everyone be vigilant" Obviously, the third battalion commander agrees with Shen Yunjie's opinion, but the third battalion commander's intention is to be careful.

The commander of the eighth company walked over with a solemn face. Shen Yunjie asked him what was going on, and he didn't speak.

The commander of the eighth company suddenly couldn't hold back his crying, crying like a child.

The cry of the eighth company commander first startled Shen Yunjie, Lao Cai, and the third battalion commander next to him, and the three of them asked in unison, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The Eighth Company Commander cried and said, "No, my three platoon commanders are gone" The reason why the Eighth Company Commander was so sad was because the three platoon commanders had been following the Eighth Company Commander when the Eighth Company Commander was still a squad leader. All three of them were sacrificed at once, and no one could stand it.

Camp Commander Shen Yunjie and Lao Cai next to him were silent after listening.

Then Shen Yunjie touched his pocket and then looked at Lao Cai, Lao Cai also knew what Shen Yunjie wanted to do at this time, Lao Cai took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yunjie.

Shen Yunjie took the cigarette, at first he originally wanted to give one to the commander of the eighth company, but after thinking about it, he forgot it, and finally only gave the battalion commander one.

Shen Yunjie lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff. Although sacrifice has become commonplace, it is still sad and sad that the brother who was born and died suddenly died.

Shen Yunjie looked at the heartbroken Eighth Company Commander crying beside him, and couldn't help anything except sigh at the cruelty of the war.

The third battalion commander took two puffs of cigarettes in his hand, and the eighth company commander now has a deep understanding of the mood of the third battalion commander.

The commander of the third battalion looked up at the sky, and although there was no moon in the sky, the few stars in the sky were very bright.

The wind blew on people's faces in the middle of the October night, and everyone felt a chill.

Death may be another relief in this day and age, as long as the living are still struggling in the mud.

The night was extraordinarily long.
