After sending the telegram for help, it will take some time.

Qin Chuan climbed out of the trench and looked around at the position he was in for the first time.

At this time, the bombed corpses could be seen everywhere, but the soldiers did not have the physical strength and energy to clean up the corpses, and simply piled them up. Mosquitoes buzzed and fluttered over there, gnawing at the corpses of the dead warriors.

Around the position, you can see craters left by Japanese shells, and some of them are small craters left by 60 guns. There were also some very large craters, apparently blown up by large-caliber shells fired by the guns of Japanese warships on the Yangtze River.

Farther away, you can already see the town of Luodian, which is the focus of the Chinese and Japanese contention.

However, the last advance of the Nationalist army was as far as the position where the Ninth Company was located, and it was attacked by the combined fire of the Japanese naval artillery and the air force, and had to temporarily retreat. But the Ninth Company did not have time to retreat, and finally fell into the encirclement of the Japanese army.

On the Songhu battlefield with flat terrain, the position they were in at this time could barely be regarded as a high ground, but it was only a dirt slope with a height of about 20 meters.

Compared with the elimination of such a small fly as the Ninth Company, the Japanese landing force was obviously more focused on moving forward. It was to attack the Ninth Company, which actually had only one Japanese squadron of more than 200 people, as well as some artillery fire support.

The Japanese army's plaster flag was fluttering not far away, Qin Chuan picked up the binoculars and found that the Japanese squadron leader on the opposite side was also observing this side with a telescope.

That Japanese squadron leader was also covered in sludge, and he had obviously been fighting in Luodian for a long time, if it weren't for the officer's uniform and the command knife on his waist, Qin Chuan would even think that it was an ordinary Japanese scout.

Behind the Japanese squadron leader, the Japanese soldiers were also resting, planning to launch the next attack.

"Brother Company Commander, you finally woke up and gave you candy to eat." A somewhat immature voice came from behind Qin Chuan at this time.

Qin Chuan turned his head and saw a little boy of three or four years old, with a pair of big eyes, looking at him.

And on the palm of his fleshy hand, there is a candy wrapped in colored paper.

Only then did Qin Chuan remember that this was a boy they had rescued in the cotton field before, and his name was Xiaobao.

Xiaobao was squatting in front of the body of his mother, who had been blown into pieces of minced meat by Japanese planes, crying.

The veterinarian couldn't bear it, so he asked Qin Chuan to take Xiaobao and retreat together. But what they didn't expect was that the 7th and 8th companies, which were supposed to cover on their flanks, actually retreated ahead of schedule, allowing the Japanese to easily pass through their flanks, resulting in them finally being besieged here.

Qin Chuan squatted down, squeezed out a smile from the blackened face of cannon fodder, and said: "Xiaobao, you take this candy and eat it, Brother Lian Chang will have to fight with the little devil in a while, you have to hide behind it when the time comes, you know?" ”

Xiaobao was very stubborn and stuffed the candy into Qin Chuan's hand, and then said in a rather serious tone: "Brother Company Commander, my mother always gave me a candy to eat when I was sick, saying that I would be cured if I ate candy.

Brother Company Commander fainted just now, Brother Company Commander, if you eat this candy, your body will definitely recover. ”

As he said this, an innocent smile appeared on his fleshy cheeks.

In Xiaobao's view, candy is a panacea that can save people from fire and water.

"So be it! Xiaobao, when we get rid of this group of little devils, can you return the candy to me to eat, it will be regarded as a reward you give me. Qin Chuan saw that Xiaobao was very persistent, so he patted his head and said.

When Xiaobao heard this, he thought about it seriously and said, "Well, when the company commander's brother wins, Xiaobao will give the company commander's brother candy to eat." ”

With that, he jumped and ran towards the veterinarian in the distance.

Looking at Xiaobao's small and cute back, Qin Chuan also smiled.

The veterinarian in the distance asked Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, that is the last candy your mother left for you, how can you be willing to give it to the company commander." ”

Xiaobao took the veterinarian's rough palm and said, "Mother said, to help people who need it more." The company commander's brother was in a coma before, and he must be very sick. He ate Xiaobao's candy, and his body will definitely get better.

But the company commander's brother said that he would not ask for Xiaobao's candy until he won the battle against the Japanese devils. With that, he unfolded his palm to show the veterinarian the candy wrapped in colored paper.

When the veterinarian heard Xiaobao's words, he couldn't help but pick him up, then scratched his nose and said, "Good Xiaobao, when our battle is over, uncle will buy you a lot of candy." ”

Hearing the veterinarian's words, Xiaobao immediately patted the white and tender little hands and said, "Okay, pull the hook and pull the hook." With that, he stretched out his little finger and pulled the hook with the veterinarian.

"Company commander, we don't have enough ammunition, what should we do?" A young soldier wearing glasses ran to Qin Chuan's side at this time and asked.

In Qin Chuan's memory, the soldier in front of him was called Mao Changqing, a student soldier from Beiping. Usually Qin Chuan likes to call him Xiao Mao, but after joining the army, he was thrown into the 88th Division as a clerk, and he is usually mainly responsible for some things recorded in writing.

Xiao Mao is small and timid, they have been participating in the war for more than a week, and this student soldier has not yet overcome his fear of the battlefield. As soon as the little devil's cannon sounded, he would lie down in the trench in fright, and he would not dare to move.

But now it's much better, after all, when Xiao Mao just came to the Songhu battlefield, he saw the mountains of corpses, but he lay on the ground and vomited for a while.

"What should I do, go and pick it up on the little devil over there." Qin Chuan pointed to the corpse of the little devil and said.

"I picked them all up, and I brought a crooked handle. But no, it's not enough. Xiao Mao said as he combed his shiny hair with his fingers, and then put the military hat on properly.

After a few days of fighting, this guy's hairstyle was not messy, which was also a big strange thing for the Ninth Company.

At this time, the six sons next to him were holding a small wooden stick, as if it was a cigarette. Then he said disdainfully in an authentic Henan dialect: "Mao Gongzi, isn't he able to speak well, and he is proficient in poetry and songs?" Then why don't you go to the little devil's place, make a generous statement to the group of seven grandsons, and see if those seven grandsons will lend you a box of 7.92 bullets. ”

"You... At this time, the thief is current, you... It is simply unreasonable for you to insult your comrades-in-arms with such vicious words. Xiao Mao stammered in response.

The sixth son is about the same age as him, but he is a veteran oil, and he has never lost to Xiao Mao. Since Xiao Mao entered the Ninth Company, he has only learned what it means to be a soldier in Xiucai, and he can't explain it reasonably.

"You wait, I'll find a way to get some bullets." Qin Chuan said and closed his eyes slightly.

As soon as his mind moved, he entered the space of the Dragon City Flying General System.

In the system forced into his memory, bullets and some individual weapons are all first-level rewards, which can be purchased directly in the system.

After entering the system, Qin Chuan saw a big screen full of all kinds of guns. From the old socket that can be called a burning stick to the AK47, which is the most popular in later generations, you can find it here, but the price varies.

And here, the price of a box of bullets is two hundred merit points. The bullets are adaptive bullets that can be adapted to guns of various calibers. Each box of 500 rounds of ammunition is basically a bullet plate, which is convenient for reloading.

At this time, Qin Chuan had five thousand merit points in his hand, which means that he could buy 25 boxes of bullets. However, Qin Chuan didn't buy all the bullets, and he needed to keep some of these merits to buy other things that were more needed in the future.

After buying ten boxes of ammunition, Qin Chuan opened his eyes.

At this time, Zhang Changshan, the platoon commander, suddenly shouted: "Company commander, bullets, we found ten boxes of bullets in the trench over there, enough for us to use for a while." ”

Hearing this, the six sons and Xiao Mao next to Qin Chuan all looked at Qin Chuan with incredible eyes.

"Ji people have their own natural appearance, we are the teachers of justice, and God will help us." Qin Chuan said, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and crawled along the trench towards the place where the ammunition was found.

Opposite the dilapidated position of the Ninth Company was the Black Rock Squadron of the 22nd Infantry Brigade Regiment of the 43rd Infantry Regiment under the 11th Division of the Japanese Army. Commander Kuroiwa Sakatsu, the younger brother of the brigade commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, he is only in his twenties, but he is a top student of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

He was now standing on his side of the improvised position, staring at the improvised defense map drawn by the scout. On that map, the machine-gun positions of the Ninth Company were marked in detail, as well as the weak points of the positional defense.

"A small squad that attracts enemy machine-gun fire from the front, they also have four light machine guns, and one Type 24 (Maxim heavy machine gun controlled by the domestic arsenal) heavy machine gun that can be used, but the ammunition is running out. You're feinting head-on.

The second and third squads, respectively, detoured from the cotton fields on the flanks to the flanks of the enemy's position. Once the enemy's fire has been drawn to the front, you launch a fierce attack from the cotton fields. Kuroyan Sakatsu said with a grim expression and a palm full of cannon fodder, pointing to the cotton field over there.
