The consumption of grenades in night battles is unimaginable, especially in this era when hand-pulled bolt weapons are dominant.

This kind of weapon thrown with bare hands, can be high or low, can be near or far, can be attacked and defended, and has a high degree of freedom is an excellent weapon for night combat. First, a bunch of grenades are thrown over to explore the way, and if there is an enemy, it will be killed, and if there is no enemy, it will be heard and courageous; What to do if you come across a bunker suitable for a covert ambush? A bunch of grenades were thrown over, regardless of whether he had enemies or not, as long as the grenades exploded, it would definitely be safe. What if there is an enemy behind the wall? Five or six grenades are thrown after a delay of two seconds, allowing the enemy to rise in the explosion.

But at this moment when even bullets could not be satisfied, the 59th Army defending the Japanese attack around Linyi was seriously short of grenades, and when it encountered a dangerous area, it could only carry bayonets and rely on people to explore the way, which was also an important reason why the 59th Army suffered such huge casualties.

"There are still a few boxes of grenades in the back, you can move there"

Raising his head and looking at the commander of the 223rd Regiment in front of him, General Zhang Xinchen pointed to a house behind the headquarters and said to his regiment commander. He didn't send a telegram to urge the supplies, he knew very well that at present, the vicinity of Linyi was in a pot of porridge, and the logistics were even more chaotic, and now there was a shortage of weapons and ammunition everywhere.

"Thank you, Commander"

"I promise here, unless the whole regiment of my 223rd regiment dies, the devil will not want to cross a step of my regiment's position"

The regimental commander gave a military salute without much verbosity, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him remove the last boxes of grenades.

"Commander, this grenade..."

After the commander of the 233rd regiment left, the commander of General Zhang Xinchen's guard company suddenly hesitated. These grenades were configured by their guard company and were used to protect the commander during his final retreat.

"It's okay, it's useless to put it here, you guys also prepare, and I'll send you to the front line to support if necessary"

General Zhang Xinchen waved his hand and said indifferently. As a general who was bent on resisting the war, he had long put his life and death on the line. If it comes to the last moment, he will not hesitate to draw his gun and rush to the front line.

"And your safety?" The commander of the guard company said worriedly.

"I'm 46 years old, and I can still hold a gun" touched the gun on his waist, General Zhang Xinchen's eyes were slight, and under the faint light reflection, his pupils released bright light.

"Yes" The commander of the guard company was well aware of his old commander's character, and he understood how useless it was at this time. After a military salute, he walked to the rear guard company troops.

After the commander of the guard company left, he looked at the map in front of him again, on this map of military deployment around Linyi, the red arrows pointed to Linyi City fiercely, while the arrows representing his own side were messy. The entire defense line of Linyi City was in danger.

After a while, he sighed slightly, his eyes moved away from Linyi City, moved to the surrounding Taierzhuang, and then continued to move...

He's looking for an escape route...

From a formal point of view, the fall of Linyi is inevitable, and all he can do at this time is to delay this process and buy time for the deployment of the surrounding defensive line.

······

"Forget it, save a few bullets"

The position of the 226th regiment, a machine-gun bunker, a company commander looked at the already dominant battlefield in the distance and stopped the machine-gun fire.

"How many bullets are left," the company commander asked, looking at the dark night sky.

"105 rounds" counted the bullets in his waist, and the Heavy also looked at the night sky without a single star.

"Save a little fight, there's still a long time left tonight," the company commander said in a low voice, and his eyes were looking at the position in the distance.

With the ceasefire of the machine guns, the devil also regained a little advantage, and his company's casualties increased significantly. The company commander looked at it silently for a while, without words, where is just the position of one of his platoons, which can still hold on now, and does not need support.

"Company commander, there is a team of devils on the left who has touched it and has already rushed to the position"

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the left, and a team of devils did not launch an attack until fifty meters were discovered, and when they were caught off guard, the left position was doubled, and in the face of the fire composed of grenadiers and machine guns, the defenders on the position were killed and wounded, and the position was already precarious at this time.

The company commander turned his head to look over, only to see that there was already a rain of fire on the left position, grenades exploded, grenades exploded, and the clatter of the machine guns was in a series, and there was another company of the 226th Regiment stationed there, and by the light of the flames, he saw that the company commander of that company had rushed to the position with a bayonet.

"Kill..."

"Ahh

The company commander's desperate roar could be heard from afar.

The bright bayonets are red in and out, the devils are stronger, more well-trained, and more proficient in bayonet warfare, not to mention the devils of these permanent divisions, but the position has been breached, and the soldiers guarding the position are already red-eyed, and there is only the idea of regaining the position in their minds, they completely give up their defenses, hold on to the bayonets, do not dodge or dodge, and stab the devil with a knife, even if the devil's bayonet has already pierced into their bodies.

Under the tragic life-for-life white-knuckle battle, the devil was finally driven off the position, and the dilapidated position was full of corpses, some devils, some soldiers of the Republic of China, and the company commander was also lying on the position, with a huge wound on his chest, and he couldn't get up again.

The remaining soldiers on the position were packing up their ammunition, casually moving away the corpses on the position, looking indifferently in the direction of the devils in the distance, quietly waiting for the next wave of attacks from the devils.

The war was tormented by the huge casualties on both sides, and every second of time passed was supported by the blood of the soldiers.

······

An alley Zheng

The battle was fierce, the distance between the two armies was only a few tens of meters, only separated by an alley, but in the dark night, both sides could not even see the enemy's movements clearly.

Bang Bang Bang ·····

The three soldiers stretched out their guns and crackled at the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the alley. The devil could only retract into the corner, but it was limited to this point, and these shots did not cause the slightest damage to the devil. And at this time, the devil was not idle, at a distance of thirty meters, the devil's melon grenade could just throw so far.

Two grenades flew down the alley.

"Grenade, lying down"

In the dark of night, the soldiers who were vigilantly staring at the opposite side immediately spotted the grenade and notified their comrades to be on alert.

More than a dozen soldiers on this side of the alley hurriedly found cover and lay down.

Boom...

Under the sound of two explosions, two clouds of smoke and dust rose from the mouth of the alley, accompanied by a large number of debris of dirt and bricks.
