Chapter 53: The Scarlet Bayonet (Part II)

The entire field defense position east of Liujiatang was filled with bloody gunsmoke, and the pungent smell was disgusting.

However, Li Shiran turned a blind eye and ran forward along the trench with blood and water.

When she was about to run to the front line of trenches, she finally saw a large number of soldiers of the national army covered in blood, rushing back with their weapons in a murderous manner.

At that time, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, the corpses in front of the position were all over the field, the soldiers were bloodied through their clothes, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were running back, and the picture was very shocking.

Therefore, Li Shiran hurriedly raised the camera in his hand and pressed the shutter on the soldiers of the third battalion.

Click! A photo of the vast majority of the soldiers of the third battalion returning victoriously was taken.

Soon, the soldiers of the third battalion jumped into their trenches one after another like dumplings, and then quickly turned around and raised their guns to prepare for defense.

There were several soldiers around Li Shiran, and no one noticed Li Shiran, a female reporter dressed as a soldier.

Li Shiran turned his head to look, and finally asked a soldier on his left: "This comrade, what about your deputy battalion commander Lin?" ”

The young soldier looked at Li Shiran, who was as beautiful as a flower, and hurriedly turned his head with some shame and shyness, looked outside the position, and suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Where is our chief!" ”

Li Shiran looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw Lin Rui, who was also covered in blood, and was retreating here with the last group of soldiers.

And Lin Rui happened to run in the direction where he was, Li Shiran waved his hand excitedly and shouted at Lin Rui: "Company Commander Lin!" ”

Lin Rui, who happened to turn around to see if there was anything unusual in the direction of the Japanese army, heard Li Shiran's shout, and immediately turned around, and at a glance saw Li Shiran, who leaned out of the trench and waved at him with a happy face.

couldn't help but look pale, and immediately ran back to the trench, jumped into the trench and came to Li Shiran's side, and scolded very harshly: "Miss Li, didn't I let you go back?" Why are you back again? And run here. ”

"My mission is to do battlefield interviews, and that's my job!" Li Shiran had never seen Lin Rui so fierce, and he pouted a little aggrieved but a little stubborn.

"Nonsense, do you know it's dangerous here?" Almost as soon as Lin Rui's words fell, there was a sudden rush in front of the position. Whistling.

Lin Rui immediately heard that it was the sound of the cannonballs flying rapidly, and immediately looked up and saw that the dazzling flames in the sky were flying rapidly.

couldn't help but change his face greatly, and immediately pressed Li Shiran beside him to the ground, exclaiming: "Be careful!" ”

Boom Boom! Almost as soon as they lay down, the devil's first round of retaliatory artillery fire smashed down on the position and exploded violently.

Some shells landed not far from Lin Rui, and the raging blast wave of the explosion flew in all directions with countless pieces of dirt and bunker debris.

Countless pieces of dirt rained down, and they fell and smashed on Lin Rui and Li Shiran, but Lin Rui could move his body and block most of the explosive flying objects for Li Shiran.

After the explosion, Lin Rui immediately got up, and Li Shiran also got up and looked around, only to see the gunsmoke from the explosion everywhere.

Li Shiran even saw that on the trench bunker not far from them, there was a bloody severed arm.

Seeing this scene, Li Shiran couldn't help but scream: "Ah! ”

Lin Rui didn't care about her first, but Huo Ran got up and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "All companies listen to the order, immediately disperse to the trenches behind to dodge, be careful not to get up easily, so as not to be hit by explosive fragments!" ”

With Lin Rui's order, Zhou Weihan and several other company platoon commanders got up with the officers and soldiers of the third battalion crowded in the front-line trenches, and began to move along the traffic trenches to the positions behind.

Lin Rui turned around and grabbed Li Shiran's left arm, and scolded in a loud voice: "You see, this is war!" Someone could die at any moment! Do you want to stay? ”

Although Li Shiran still didn't dare to look at the severed arm, she had gradually recovered from the initial shock and fear, and in the face of Lin Rui's fierce gaze, she nodded resolutely and said, "I want to stay!" ”

Lin Rui turned his head and shouted, "Ah Feng! Ah Feng! ”

Lin Feng, who was in a skirmish trench about ten meters away from Lin Rui, immediately replied loudly: "I'm here!" ”

With that, he quickly ran through the trench with his gun in his hand.

Coming to Lin Rui, Lin Feng looked at Li Shiran beside him with some surprise, squatted down and saluted Lin Rui and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Get this woman down to my safety and make sure she's safe, understand?" Lin Rui commanded with a serious face.

"Yes!" Lin Feng happily accepted the order.

Li Shiran saw that Lin Rui's attitude was firm, so she had to retreat and said, "Company Commander Lin, I can retreat, but before leaving, am I helping you take a photo?" ”

"Trouble!" Lin Rui snorted coldly without comment.

Li Shiran looked Lin Rui up and down, and finally his gaze stayed on the bayonet on the muzzle of the rifle in his hand.

The bayonet was completely covered in blood, so she pulled down Lin Rui's left hand holding the gun, motioned for him to put the rifle up, and then quickly took a step back and distanced herself from Lin Rui.

Raised the camera and took a photo, Lin Rui half-squatted on the trench, with a serious face and murderous face, holding a gun in one hand.

The muzzle of the gun was upward, and a blood-colored bayonet stood proudly towards the sky.

At this time, the second round of artillery bombardment of the devils came as scheduled, and it bombarded it fiercely again.

Boom Boom! A series of violent explosions suddenly rang out from all over the positions of the three battalions, and clusters of dazzling red light also rose from the ground one after another.

Under the raging blast of the explosion, Lin Rui instinctively pulled Li Shiran over, lowered his head, and then yelled at Lin Feng: "What are you doing in a daze?" Send her down! ”

"Yes!" Lin Feng suddenly agreed, and immediately held the gun in one hand, pulled Li Shiran up with the other, bent over and ran towards the rear.

On the Japanese position, the muzzles of the eight 75-mm mountain guns and six 60-0 mortars of the artillery squadron flashed out from time to time, and rows of shells were fired towards the Liujiatang position of the third battalion.

At the same time that the artillery unit launched a retaliatory artillery bombardment of Lin Rui's headquarters, the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Wing also began to assemble before the war.

Kuraga Chenzhi has just received news that the second batch of reinforcements from the Shanghai Dispatch Army is about to arrive, including the artillery wing of the 3rd Division and other units directly under the division.

This greatly increased Kuronaga's confidence, so he decisively ordered the artillery to open fire, and the infantry to assemble, ready to launch a new round of attack.
