Lin Rui, with a part of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion, quickly rushed to the forefront trench of the position of the independent brigade of the Guangdong Army along a communication trench full of wounded soldiers and corpses.

Seeing that the devils outside the position had approached within a range of less than 100 meters, the first-line trench defense troops of the Independent Brigade of the Guangdong Army were not left in ten, and they were killed and wounded.

The entire trench can be said to be a river of blood, and the situation is as dangerous as an egg.

Without any hesitation, Lin Rui immediately raised his pistol and shouted, "Brothers, fire!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead in pulling the trigger, and the Mauser pistol fired continuously, instantly killing the two devils who rushed to the front to the end.

Under his leadership, the soldiers of the three battalions present all followed and opened fire.

The remnants of the Independent Brigade of the Cantonese Army were also greatly encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted, and they roared angrily and fired at the Japanese army with all their might.

After receiving reinforcements, although the defenders of the Lion Forest burst out with stronger combat effectiveness and will to fight, causing certain casualties to the devils, they still relied on the strong cover and support of tanks and armored vehicles, and stubbornly advanced the battle line to less than fifty meters away from Lin Rui and them.

At this distance, a bombardier with a stronger arm can even throw a grenade into the opponent's trenches and crowds.

Lin Rui had already exhausted the bullets in the magazine, and when he saw that the situation was urgent, he immediately shouted to a platoon commander behind him: "Zhang Tianlong, kill those devil tanks for me, and I will cover you!" ”

After speaking, Lin Rui quickly ran to a light machine gun position not far away, pushed away a Cantonese machine gunner who had just been killed by the Japanese army, re-erected his Czech light machine gun, and began to fire fiercely in front of the position.

The platoon commander named Zhang Tianlong immediately sent a squad leader to lead six soldiers of the third battalion to quickly jump out of the trench with explosives bags, and rushed towards the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in front of him as fast as possible.

"Fire cover!" Lin Rui roared, manipulating the light machine gun to fire at the devils around the two tanks and armored vehicles, trying to suppress the devil infantry, not giving them a chance to fire, and creating an opportunity for the demomen.

Although the devil's infantry and tan coordination were not as good as those of the German contemporaries, they had undergone special training.

Seeing that someone rushed out of the trenches of the national army with explosives bags, some smart devils immediately exclaimed that it was not good, stop them.

Then, they turned their guns one after another and fired at the soldiers of the three battalions, although they were suppressed by the full firepower of Lin Rui and others, there were still some devils who took advantage of the shooting angle and fired bullets.

The squad leader and the other demolition fighter who rushed to the front bore the brunt of the bullets and fell down one after another.

Seeing this, the other five Demolitionists who followed behind hurriedly dispersed further and rushed forward even faster.

However, more and more devils spotted them and turned their guns to prevent them from approaching their tanks and armored vehicles.

One after another, three more demolition fighters were hit by the Japanese and fell on the way to the charge.

Looking at the soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, Lin Rui's heart was shattered, and he immediately shouted: "Machine gun platoon, give me all the strength to fire to cover them!" ”

The machine gun platoon of the third battalion suffered heavy losses in the previous battle of Liujiatang, the 20-mm rapid-fire guns were gone, and the heavy machine guns were also lost more than half.

Although Sun Liren later gave two more Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns when he replenished his manpower, he was not equipped with a machine gun company.

Because Lin Rui equipped them with the reorganized Eighth Company, the current machine gun company actually has three 60mm mortars left, as well as a Type 92 heavy machine gun and a Czech light machine gun that were taken from the devil.

When Lin Rui led the infantry companies to the first line of trenches to fight side by side with the Guangdong army to block the attack of the 12th Infantry Wing, the machine gun company, which was a little behind, quickly found a suitable machine gun position behind the Guangdong army's position, and the position was completed.

After receiving Lin Rui's order, Zhang Daquan, the commander of the machine gun platoon, immediately gave the order to open fire.

Three mortars and two light and heavy machine guns roared one after another, tom! The three grenades whizzed and flew towards the devil's attacking crowd, but because the distance was too close and the angle of fire was limited, these three shells could not threaten the devil's tanks and armored vehicles.

The crowd of infantry that could only fall behind them, boom, boom! In the three violent explosions, at least a dozen devils were blown to the ground.

The fire of the light and heavy machine guns put a certain amount of pressure on the Japanese infantry around the Devil Tank, killing and wounding some of them, suppressing and retracting those Devils who tried to kill all the three battalions of Demomen behind the tanks and armored vehicles.

However, several tanks of the devils did not stop firing.

One of them even turned its barrel directly and aimed at a running third-battalion demoman, and the muzzle of the tank gun flashed, and a direct-aim shell hit the third-battalion soldier, and with a loud bang, he was blown to pieces.

At this point, there were only two demomen left in the demolition men sent out by Lin Rui, who were still charging forward in the rain of bullets.

But soon, they were also shot one after another and fell.

Seeing that the threat was all gone, the devil armored soldiers immediately drove tanks and armored vehicles, guided their own infantry, and continued to attack the positions of the national army.

The platoon commander beside Lin Rui just wanted to lead someone to rush up in person, but Lin Rui stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute." ”

Because the sharp-eyed Lin Rui found that the two of his own soldiers who were knocked down by the devil at the end did not die, but dragged their injured bodies, and they were still crawling forward tenaciously little by little.

And the devil did not notice this scene because of the smoke from the explosion of the cannonballs and the fierce exchange of fire with his own defenders.

Both fighters were hit by bullets in their bodies, so much so that as they crawled, they left a large amount of blood in the places they passed.

Probably understanding what the two subordinates were going to do, Lin Rui immediately took out a machine gun magazine full of bullets from the Guangdong army machine gunner who died next to him, quickly loaded the Czech light machine gun in his hand, pulled down the bolt and set up the light machine gun again and fired wildly at the Japanese infantry crowd.

At the same time, Lin Rui also shouted hoarsely: "Give me all the fire cover!" ”

The soldiers on the position, led by Lin Rui, shot with all their might, providing as much fire cover as possible for the two Demomen.

Some of the devil soldiers who were charging forward with tanks and armored vehicles were shot one after another and fell down one after another.

After crawling for more than 10 meters, two seriously wounded 3rd Battalion Demomen finally came to the front of the two Japanese Type 95 tanks.

Seeing that the two Japanese tanks were about to run over him, the two conceited demomen, with their hearts crossed, pulled the explosive bag in their arms, rolled forward, and rolled into the two craters in front of the two tanks.

In the next second, two loud bangs came out, and two dazzling fires instantly swallowed up the two Type 95 tanks, and the violent explosion shock wave destroyed the bottom armor of the tanks almost instantly, killing all the ten devil tank soldiers in the two tanks.
