Chapter 29: Artillery Bombardment

Fang Yongda frowned and looked at Wang Feng, although it was in the darkness before dawn, he could still see his doubts through the flickering flames of war from time to time.

But in the army, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Wang Feng's identity was very good, Fang Yongda had to take the initiative to hand over the command and obey Wang Feng's orders.

Wang Feng saw the dissatisfaction of Fang Yongda and the officers of the second company, and said to Gu Ming: "Officer Gu, please contact Brigade Commander Weng Zhaoyuan of the 156th Brigade immediately, and I will call Chief Weng directly in front of these officers." ”

"Report to Brigade Commander Weng, I am Wang Feng, I am Wang Feng, I am now in the position of the Commercial Press, the enemy is about to launch a large-scale attack on Zhabei, in order to ensure that the position of the Commercial Press is not broken through by the enemy, I led the headquarters guard platoon sent to the hospital to protect me to the position, and asked to take over the command of the position."

"Wang Feng, you bastard, I've heard about you messing around in the hospital, I don't know your whereabouts, I didn't expect you to run to the position of the Commercial Press with serious injuries, I order you to return to the hospital immediately, otherwise military law will deal with it."

"Brigade seat, I really have no problem, and the wound is healing very well, now the enemy is current, each position has one more gun and an anti-Japanese fighter, it is possible to change the situation of the position, I ask you to promise me to stay in the position to command, and promise not to take the lead in charging into battle, please."

"Nonsense, you can do this, do you know how much responsibility I have with the commander of the Nineteenth Route Army? Besides, how did you abduct Gu Ming, who had not recovered from his wounds, to the position? Do you know that this is death? ”

"Luza, Gu Ming, this girl has a very strong temper, she wants to follow me to death or alive, and I can't help it, but don't worry, as long as I, Wang Feng, live, Gu Ming's life will never be in danger."

"No, you and Gu Ming want to give me a good life, have you heard?"

"Heard, thank you, I can think that you have promised me Wang Feng to take over the command of the position of the Commercial Press, right? Wang Feng and the officers in front of him heard it. ”

Wang Feng deliberately shouted loudly, and ended the call with the last sentence of 'pop'.

Wang Feng said to the officers beside him: "You all heard it, right? The brigade has ordered me to take over the command of the Commercial Press's position, and now we will immediately study how to deploy the positional firepower. ”

He said to Feng Zhiyuan: "Turn on the flashlight, you take the others to surround a few of us in the middle, it's best not to reveal the light, I don't want to be the target of the enemy's fire at night." ”

Wang Feng simply drew a defensive position on the ground, deployed the troops of one company and another faction, and finally said:

"Building No. 3 of the Commercial Press, led by Luo Gang, deputy commander of the headquarters guard company, led five sharpshooters selected from these soldiers to hide on the roof of the building, your task is to lock on the enemy's heavy machine gunners, once the enemy attacks, you must kill the enemy's machine gunners for me."

He ordered Fang Yongda, commander of the second company of the fourth regiment, to lead the company to hold the main position, and once the enemy launched an artillery attack, he should rush forward ten meters of concealment as fast as possible, and retreat to the position immediately when the artillery fire extended, and use the shell craters of the enemy's shelling as a cover to counterattack the attacking enemy.

The deputy commander of the second company was ordered to lead five sharpshooters to hide on the roof of Building No. 4 of the Commercial Press, and lock on the grenadiers and gunners exposed during the enemy's attack, with the task of eliminating the gunners of the enemy's artillery positions.

He led a few skilled warriors to echo him, ready to support any side in danger.

Everything was arranged, Wang Feng wrapped his coat and leaned against a sheltered place, closed his eyes and walked through the deployment just now, thinking that there were no deficiencies that needed to be adjusted, and then he opened his eyes.

When he found the little soldier Gu Ming leaning next to him, he was shivering a little from the cold, and he couldn't help but jokingly said in a low voice: "Little soldier, are you about to pee your pants with fear?" Otherwise, how could he be shaking so much? ”

"Nonsense, I'm shivering with cold, with you, what am I afraid of?"

"Good brother, come, brother's heart will always be open to you." Wang Feng said as he unbuttoned his coat, easily pulled Gu Ming into his arms, wrapped it tightly in his coat and said, "If you want to sleep, just sleep for a while, once the fight starts, I'm afraid I won't even have the time to close my eyes." ”

Gu Ming was not ashamed at this time, but leaned tightly into Wang Feng's arms, although he was very uncomfortable, but his heart was sweet.

This is the first time in her life that she has been hugged by a man in a wide embrace, enjoying the warmth of her limbs, this feeling is very special, especially I really hope that the sky will not be bright, the enemy will not attack, she will be lying in her arms forever.

If a woman really accepts a man from her heart, she will give her life to this man, hunger, fear, life and death will not be taken too seriously, and what she cares about is the beauty and eternity with the person she loves.

This is the feeling of a woman, and it can also be the sorrow of a woman, because she is already a captive of love, and everything that is mentally retarded is beautiful.

At 4:25 a.m. on 4 February, the enemy commander Koichi Shiozawa stood in the war room and said to the Japanese officers beside him: "The Chinese Army is blocking the advance of our Navy Special Marine Corps in Zhabei in depth, and I order a new round of attack on Zhabei in an all-round way, and we must destroy the Zhabei China troops stationed in Shanghai." ”

All branches of the armed forces attending the meeting immediately returned to their units and once again started an offensive battle against Zhabei at 4:50 a.m.

Jiang Guangding, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, learned that the enemy had once again increased his troops to Shanghai, and that the number of various troops had reached more than 7,000 men, and he immediately ordered the 60th and 61st divisions to participate in the battle, strengthen the forces of the various positions in Zhabei, and be ready for battle.

Suddenly, the enemy's powerful artillery fire frantically fired shells from the land and from the ships anchored on the river.

The artillery shells whistled and landed on our position in Zhabei, and huge beacon flames rose into the air, and the separated limbs of the soldiers fell again, and the position was stained brown with blood.

Fang Yongda, the commander of the second company, did not believe Wang Feng's baseless assertion, and lay in the trench with paralysis.

When he heard the sudden roar of artillery shells flying from the enemy position and landed on the position, he immediately jumped up from the trench and shouted, "Immediately rush out of the forward position and lie down ten meters." ”

The second round of shells extended 10 meters forward and exploded again, shelling three times in a row, blowing up the second company's position.

Fang Yongda, the commander of the second company, turned around and saw this frightening scene, not only shook his head and exclaimed: "Chief Wang is simply a god, why is he so accurate?" If the first round of shells had not exploded and immediately rushed out of the front of the position ten meters to conceal, I am afraid that the second company at this time would have been killed. ”

In this way, the fighters affected by the shrapnel of the shell explosion suffered no less than 20 casualties.

"The brothers who are still alive should return to their positions as quickly as possible, repair the fortifications, and prepare to meet the enemy." Fang Yongda was the first to return to the position, using the large pit blown up by the enemy's artillery shells as a cover, and once again raising the fortifications to make all preparations before the battle.

When Wang Feng heard the sound of artillery shells landing and exploding from the distant position, he immediately came to his senses, like a very sensitive cheetah, prick up his ears and stared at the big eyes that were scared to death, and watched the enemy position closely.

Gu Ming, who was wrapped in his arms, trembled more and more and couldn't hold himself.

"Little soldier, get ready, I told you to run, you must follow, if you can't do it, I will hold you ......."

Gu Ming is also a girl with backbone, hearing Wang Feng say this, she pushed Wang Feng away suddenly, straightened up and didn't have time to refute, she was suddenly pulled forward by Wang Feng and rushed out.

At a speed of 360 meters per second, the shells flew towards the position of the second company of the Commercial Press, which was 700 meters away, which means that it could be reached in less than two seconds.

Wang Feng saw several fireballs suddenly flying in front of him, it can be said that he can reach their position in the blink of an eye, and he can see the fire of the first cannonball, at least 0.2 to 0.3 seconds after the cannonball is fired, and he can fly in front of him in seconds, how can he dodge it?
