Although he is not very old, he reveals a very calm aura all over his body, and he has a sense of strategizing, as if everything is under his control.

In his eyes, the enemy in front of him was already in his pocket.

There were only more than fifty remnants left, and they could not compete with his elite of more than 200 people.

He intended to take possession of that high ground before it got dark. This can also be regarded as an explanation to his brother Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu.

After the ammunition was distributed, the Ninth Company temporarily solved the problem of ammunition shortage. Qin Chuan also had two machine gun positions reconstructed to facilitate the transfer of machine gun fire.

Because the veteran marksmanship of the little devil is often very accurate, he can basically guarantee to hit the target within 100 meters. In addition, they are also very skilled in the use of grenadiers, the first grenade corrects the trajectory, and the second shot can accurately hit the target.

As the support point of the company's firepower, the four Czech light machine guns and the 24 heavy machine guns were the key objects of care for these Japanese veterans. Only by constantly shifting the machine gun position, so that the little devils can't figure out where the machine guns are, can they avoid these machine gun dumb fire to the greatest extent.

"Company commander, the little devil is ready for battle and is ready to attack." Zhang Changshan ran over and said loudly.

At this time, the bullet belts on his body had been filled, and the ten boxes of ammunition were enough to support the combat consumption of their fifty people.

Qin Chuan immediately said: "They all enter their respective combat positions, you will command the frontal battle, and I will personally command the side positions." ”

"You're in command from the side?" Zhang Changshan asked a little strangely.

Qin Chuan said: "The little devils like to use the tactic of roundabout flanking the most, and our highland is flanked on both sides of cotton fields, so it is very likely that they will sneak up on us on the flank." ”

Zhang Changshan said: "Okay, then I'll go to the front now." With that, he took seven or eight soldiers and entered the frontal position.

Before the start of the official Japanese offensive, there was the usual artillery bombardment.

Only this time they were not bombarded by mountain artillery as requested, but by Japanese warships and ships that stayed on the Yangtze River.

There were several battleships inside, which were specially designed to support the battle on the side of Luodian. As soon as the Japanese landing force sends a request for artillery bombardment, and then the artillery scouts report the coordinates, they will immediately use large-caliber naval guns to bombard.

Not long after Kuroiwa Sakatsu's artillery request was sent, the Japanese army anchored the battleships on the Yangtze River, and several naval guns were already aimed at the position of the Ninth Company.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Like a muffled thunder running in the sky, it echoes on the wide surface of the Yangtze River. With the roar of the cannon, the huge hull also vibrated with it, rippling on the water.

Hearing the whistling sound of the cannonballs, Qin Chuan immediately said loudly: "Shelling!" Take cover!!! ”

With that, he jumped into a crater on the battlefield, where he held his head in his hands and supported his body with his limbs, preventing his chest from making direct contact with the ground.

This is a relatively standard anti-shelling posture, and many recruits don't know about it, so they lie on the ground in a daze. As a result, many of them were crushed by the huge impact of the shells, and within a few days, they vomited black blood and died.

In the face of the Japanese shelling, the soldiers of the 9th Company were used to it. In the two previous Japanese charges, they were subjected to two heavy artillery bombardments.

At this point, they are all hidden in the crater, which increases their chances of survival. But there are no absolutes, because there was a large-caliber shell, and it hit one of the craters impartially, and then the three soldiers hiding inside were blown to pieces.

The artillery fire in the sky almost overturned the entire high ground. The scorched earth that flew into the air fell on the warriors like dense raindrops.

A few soldiers were unlucky, and a shell landed directly in their hidden crater. There was a loud bang, and the soldiers were blown to pieces, and the charred minced flesh fell in the scorched earth.

Looking at the position of the Ninth Company filled with gunsmoke, the corners of Heiyan Zuosheng's mouth rose slightly: "After the shelling is over, the troops will immediately start attacking. ”

At this time, the attacking troops of the Japanese army were all in ambush less than 300 meters away from the position of the Ninth Company. Just wait until the shelling is over, and they will immediately charge.

I don't know how long it took, but Qin Chuan finally couldn't hear the loud sound of the shell exploding. His head was a little groggy, and although the Japanese large-caliber shells did not hit him directly, the powerful impact generated by the explosion around him also made him a little unbearable.

Not only him, but the other soldiers of the Ninth Company had just crawled out of the soil at this time. The earth kicked off by the shells almost buried them alive.

"There are still panting children!! Get up for Lao Tzu, the little devil is going to touch it!! Qin Chuan almost used all his strength and shouted above the position.

"Get up, go up!! Give Lao Tzu a little bit of goddamn spirit!! Zhang Changshan and Platoon Commander Zhang also raised the shell gun in his hand at this time, fired two shots into the sky and shouted.

One by one, the soldiers rose from the dirt like resurrected spirits. They picked up their rifles and entered their respective positions.

"Charge !!" The squad commander of the Japanese army, wielding the command knife in his hand, led his soldiers to charge the position of the Ninth Company where the smoke of gunfire had not yet dissipated.

The Japanese squad charge was quite methodical, and each detachment alternated cover between them, making a step-like charge. On the rear position, there were two Type 92 heavy machine guns, which carried out "overshoot shooting" from the rear with heavy machine gun fire, suppressing the frontal position of the Ninth Company, providing sufficient fire suppression for the charging troops.

Onboard !! When the Japanese soldiers heard the slogan of the charge, they roared and launched a fierce attack on the position of the Ninth Company.

The bullets of the Type 92 heavy machine gun rained down on the frontal position of the Ninth Company. Zhang Changshan led nearly 20 of his men to defend the front of the position.

"Machine gun fire! Delay the little devil attack, pay attention to the transfer of fire! Zhang Changshan yelled as he used the shell gun in his hand to shoot at the Japanese troops charging below.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company next to him pulled the bolt of the gun, turned the formal rifle in his hand into a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and fired angry bullets one after another.

Encountering frontal fire, the soldiers of the Japanese army, who had been advancing rapidly, fell to the ground one after another.

"Grenadier!! Focus on hitting enemy machine-gun fire points!! The Japanese squad leader shouted, and the Japanese soldiers who were operating the grenadiers began to use the grenadiers in their hands to adjust the angle of the shot.

These veterans of the Japanese army are very handy with the use of grenadiers. After a short while, the approximate launch angle was determined.
