Chapter 1071: Tragic Shelling
The reason why the little devils didn't rush to the front in five attacks, but quickly retreated, was very simple, that is, they wanted to use this method to drag Li Feng and them.
The artillery unit of the devils has reached the front of the town and can launch an artillery attack at any time, but they can't let the Eighth Route Army run away, so they can only use this way to drag the Eighth Route on the position.
Now their artillery is ready, so the devil's infantry did not attack, but looked straight ahead happily, because as long as the artillery attack was over, they would immediately attack, and they would inevitably take the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
What they didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army had already thought of a countermeasure, although this countermeasure was very cold, but none of the soldiers objected.
Three matches, one of which is broken into short ones, is then grasped by one person in his hand, and the other two are the first to draw.
After those who had drawn the lottery stayed, the rest of the people looked back at the brothers from time to time, because by the time they got out of the dugout, they might not be able to see them.
There were a total of 500 people on the main position, and this time more than 100 remained, and I don't know how many people they will have left when the shelling is over.
The little fat man did not dare to smoke, and put the cigarette to his mouth in a row, and did not light it five or six times, because he was going to do a demonstration of artillery protection in a while.
In this drowsy bomb shelter, if you don't make a posture of protection against shelling, you are likely to suffer internal injuries.
Boom Boom!
The devil's artillery attack was as promised, and it soon arrived, blasting out clouds of brilliant dirt on their positions.
The whole earth was shaking, and after Li Feng asked the soldiers to make a good move, he quietly looked at the door.
How he wished that a few of his brothers in the position would come over, at least that would reduce the casualties to a great extent.
But after waiting for several minutes, there was not half a figure in sight, and not a single person flinched, and they all held their positions.
"Holy shit, how many of you guys should come here!"
The little fat man scolded bitterly, but it was such a group of brothers that made him proud and proud.
Let's look at the situation on the position, before the shelling began, the veteran was quietly lying on the edge of the trench.
Because they weren't sure if it was a plot of the devils, and if the little devils didn't launch an artillery attack, but attacked with infantry, then it would be very dangerous to not have half of the soldiers on the position to hold on.
So no matter what, there will always be someone on the position, because when the devils attack, they can resist for a while and help the large army re-enter the trenches to buy time.
When the artillery bombardment was launched, there was a violent shaking on the whole position again, just like the earth dragon turned over, and several soldiers rushed over to hide in it after seeing the huge crater blown up by the artillery, so that the chance of survival would be greater.
"Hurry up, you two go to that pit, why are you two melon babies so slow, how can you see you moving so fast when eating, but this escape has become a second stunned."
One of the veterans asked two young soldiers to hide in the pit first, and then went to look for the other fighters himself, but a cannonball covered him up a few steps away.
"Deputy squad leader!"
The two warriors shouted anxiously, but the veteran did not respond to them, as if such a person had never existed in this world.
There were also a few soldiers who wanted to carry the grenades to other places in order to prevent the devil's artillery from detonating their grenades, but they didn't expect that just a few steps after rushing out, a cannon sound came from the side, which shook him away on the spot.
The soldier's back was instantly torn by the shell, blood flowed everywhere, and the blood foam in his mouth couldn't help but spit out, but his hand still grabbed the box of grenades, because he wanted to save the ammunition and use it when the boss and they re-entered the trench.
But no matter how hard he tried, his body couldn't move forward for half a minute, and finally his hand fell on the ammunition box, and his eyes were fixed on this ammunition box.
Another veteran heard a scream and rushed around a corner, only to see a new recruit with his thigh blown off and wailing there.
Seeing this, the veteran immediately touched it, ignoring the surrounding splashes of dirt and scattered shrapnel and rushed up against the steel helmet, and then grabbed the soldier by the shoulders and dragged him to safety.
After a few steps, two shells exploded on the high ground on either side of them, and the flying earth buried the two directly, and after a long time, they did not crawl out of the dirt.
There were also some soldiers who leaned into the shell crater and did not speak, but it could be seen from their excitement that although they had experienced many shellings, they still had nervous expressions on their faces every time they experienced it.
It's just that this nervous expression is much better than that of those rookies who have just joined the army, and their nervousness is because they are afraid that they will not move fast enough, not that they are afraid of being blown up.
A few more recruits screamed in fright, and then ran around with their heads covered, and the veterans rushed up to hold them down and kicked them into the gun pit.
"What's it called, let me stay in it honestly!"
A veteran pressed his steel helmet hard, and then there was another explosion outside, and a large wave of dirt directly covered half of his body, but his body was not harmed.
Under such a thrilling shelling, the whole earth was shaking, and it took skill to run in the trenches without stopping, because in such a situation many people could not stand at all and would fall after a few steps.
It wasn't until the devil stopped shelling that everyone let go of the hands covering their heads, then looked around and didn't notice, and after the shelling was over, they shouted into the trench:
"The devil's shelling stops, look how many are still alive, the first wave of the little devil's charge is coming soon!"
After several veterans dug out the soil several times in succession, they found that less than 80 of the more than 100 people who remained on the position were now left, which means that half of them were killed and wounded in this shelling.
Before they could grieve their grief, they heard the observing soldier shouting, "The little devil is coming."
"Damn, the devils are moving fast enough, and as soon as the shelling stopped, they attacked!"
The veterans were just about to ask what the deputy chief of staff was doing and why he didn't come to direct the battle, but before they could say anything, they heard a soldier shouting:
"The headquarters was blown up, and the deputy chief of staff was buried inside!"
Hearing this, several veterans were in a hurry, but at this time, Li Feng appeared, and ran along the trench to their respective positions with a large number of people.
Bang bang bang!
Seeing this, the veterans didn't care so much, but took the lead in launching a counterattack against the devils rushing in front of them, blocking their attack and buying time for the large army to take position.
