As the shelling continued, the entire forward position of the Japanese army immediately turned into a boiling cauldron, and all kinds of light and heavy artillery swarmed to fire at the Japanese position. Terrible whistling and violent explosions echoed everywhere in the sky, blowing up the Japanese positions to a boil. The tracer shells that indicated the targets of the artillery gathered into a huge net even during the day, enveloping the positions of the 92nd Brigade and Regiment. They were like orange whips whipping back and forth against the Japanese trenches.

With a piercing whistling sound, another round of 155 caliber shells exploded on the Japanese position. The explosion of fireballs and smoke and the splashing of earth turned the entire Japanese position into an erupting volcano, and the shocking sight full of destruction made even the officers and men of the 348th Brigade who were lying in the trenches watching the shelling can't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

The shelling lasted for an hour and finally stopped, by which time the entire battlefield had long been shrouded in a thick layer of smoke and morning fog, and even in the scorching day, the scorching sun was blocked in mid-air, and the visibility on the battlefield was so low that it was impossible to see the opposite side beyond a few hundred meters.

Ma Yang, a corporal in the second platoon of the third battalion of the 577th regiment, was lying in a foxhole, trying to look ahead with wide eyes, but the front was already blocked by thick smoke, and he couldn't see the scene ahead clearly even if his eyes were a little sour.

A private crawled over next to him and asked, "Deputy Squad, what's going on ahead, why don't the devils fight back at all?" ”

"How do I know?" Ma Yang retracted his gaze helplessly, "Okay, Gong Tianli." There is a lot of nonsense in our class, and you and Jin Wenhai remember to follow me when you will charge, don't run around. Remember that you have to be clever and still use grenades when you see something wrong. Also, you can't retreat no matter what, otherwise the commander behind you will kill you as deserters, don't blame me for not reminding you, do you understand? ”

"Ban...... Deputy class, I understand! Gong Tianli's face turned a little blue and replied, and Jin Wenhai on the side also nodded again and again.

Jin Wenhai and Gong Tianli are both recruits who have just joined the army for less than half a year. Today was the first time they had participated in the battle, so Ma Yang not only kept them by his side, but also took the trouble to instill some knowledge on the battlefield in them like an old aunt. During this time, the expansion of the army was too fast. It was full of recruits who had only been in the army for a few months, and many of them were hastily sent into battle after a few months of simple recruit training.

"Beep beep ......"

Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded around him, and the shrill whistle immediately suppressed the other noises.

"Brothers...... Come on...... Rush, ......" Soon the loud voices of the officers sounded on the position.

"Rush, ......"

With the orders of the officers. A soldier jumped out of the trench with a rifle in hand, screaming and rushing towards the forward position. A gray figure gathered into a torrent and rushed forward.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

"Smack...... Smack......"

When the soldiers of the 577th Regiment rushed halfway, bursts of gunfire began to sound on the Japanese position, but these gunshots were not intense, in the shelling for nearly an hour, the Japanese position was almost completely destroyed, many anti-artillery holes were blown up, and the Japanese troops inside were crushed to death inside, facing the charge of the national * army. They didn't reflect it for a while.

Looking at the black-pressed soldiers rushing in the distance, Yuma Shinohara pointed ahead and shouted, "Hurry up...... The 163rd Wing was ordered to quickly counterattack. Beat the people back to China! ”

After two days of fighting, the losses of the 92nd Brigade were not small, especially the artillery of the 348th Brigade made the Japanese army suffer enough, and now seeing that the Nationalist * Army launched a general attack, Yuma Shinohara, immediately issued an order to counterattack, and for a time the sound of Type 92 heavy machine guns, 11-year type light machine guns and Type 38 rifles began to resound, and some surviving mortars and grenadiers also began to pour shells forward, and in this case the Japanese army no longer dared to stay.

Ma Yang ran with a submachine gun on the position that had become floppy and full of floating soil, and from time to time he turned his head and shouted behind him: "Hurry up...... Jin Haiwen, Gong Tianli, you hurry up and keep up! ”

"Ban...... Deputy class, slow down, I can't keep up! Running a distance of more than 500 meters in one go, coupled with the continuous falling shells around him and the wounded soldiers lying on the ground and screaming, people were very nervous, and Jin Haiwen and Gong Tianli were already a little out of breath.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Ma Yang stopped and kicked behind the buttocks of the two of them and scolded: "If you can't keep up, you have to follow, this is the best shooting range for the devil's grenadier, you stay here and either become a live target for the devil, or be shot by the commander behind, you can choose one for yourself!" ”

Seeing that the deputy squad leader, who was always pleasant on weekdays, had changed his fierce and vicious appearance, both of them were startled, and hurriedly raised their spirits and ran towards Ma Yang and ran forward. Behind them, dozens of MG34 machine guns and 60 and 82 mortars were desperately firing, especially the heart-rending continuous fire of MG34 machine guns and the continuous explosion of mortars made the Japanese troops on the position unable to raise their heads, especially the Japanese machine gunners were even more miserable, once they fired in one place for more than two minutes, the opponent's counterattack fire and mortars would immediately come over, but after less than ten minutes of firing, most of their original few machine guns were blown up.

"Yaga, these cowards, waste!" Looking at the retreating Japanese troops in front, Major General Yuma Shinohara's face immediately sank, and he immediately said to the staff officers beside him: "You immediately tell Otomo Rizumi and let him immediately launch a charge to drive the people out of the country, and the people must not enter their positions!" ”

"Boom ......"

A grenadier shell exploded in front of Ma Yang, which was the Japanese army blowing up a charging soldier to the ground, when Ma Yang and others rushed to the wounded soldier's side, Jin Haiwen was about to bend down to help the wounded soldier, but was stopped by Ma Yang.

"Your task now is to rush into the Japanese position as quickly as possible, and these wounded brothers will have medical guards behind them to treat them, and we don't need to care about them, understand?"

After more than ten seconds, they finally rushed to the front of the Japanese position, and a hoarse voice suddenly shouted: "Drop bombs...... Bombing! ”

"Whoosh ......"

A faint sound of breaking the air passed, and black shadows fell into the Japanese fortifications.

"Boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

As the violent explosion sounded, the Japanese fortifications resounded with a wail, and many Japanese soldiers hiding in the fortifications were blown up by grenades.

"Kill ......"

Without having time to think about it, as the explosion ended, Ma Yang jumped into a trench of the Japanese army, and Jin Haiwen and Gong Tianli also jumped in after him.

When Ma Yang just jumped into the trench and did not stand firmly, he saw a cold light flashing next to him in the corner of his eye, and Ma Yang, who was quite experienced, immediately flashed to the side, and then felt that his left arm was cold, and a bayonet swept over his arm, bringing up a string of blood beads, and then two Japanese soldiers pounced from the side.

Ma Yang just wanted to raise the submachine gun in his hand, but another Japanese soldier had already raised his bayonet and came towards him, so he had no choice but to raise the submachine gun.

There was a crisp sound of "poof", and Ma Yang's submachine gun fell to the ground with a click.

These two Japanese soldiers were very experienced and coordinated well with each other, and as soon as his side retreated, the bayonet in the hands of the first Japanese soldier came again.

Ma Yang, who had no time to retreat, hurriedly retreated, but he tripped over something under his feet, and the whole person was lying on the ground, lying on the ground, he had already seen two Japanese soldiers with a cruel smile raising their rifles and stabbing at him, at this time he had no weapons in his hand to resist, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At this moment, several muffled gunshots rang out in succession, and the two bodies that were stabbing at him stiffened for a moment, and then their bodies softened together, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

As the two Japanese soldiers fell, Gong Tianli and Jin Wenhai also jumped into the trench from above, and the two ran to Ma Yang's side out of breath to pull him up.

Ma Yang, who was pulled up, not only did not thank the two for saving him, but scolded again: "You two stupid, do you need two people to come together to help yourself, what if a few more devils come out from the side now?" Will the three of us die together then? ”

"I ...... I ......" The two of them were scolded so red that they couldn't speak.

Ma Yang moved his ankle, and after finding that there was nothing serious, he walked to the side and picked up his submachine gun, and glared at the two who were still in a daze, "What are you still doing in a daze, are you going to have lunch here?" Come with me! ”

"Oh......" The two who came to their senses hurriedly responded and hurriedly followed.

As a submachine gunner, he was responsible for opening the way, and Jin Wenhai and Gong Tianli, as riflemen, were responsible for covering the flanks and clearing the enemy who had slipped through the net.

The battlefield is the best teacher, after a short period of panic, Jin Wenhai and Gong Tianli also slowly calmed down, and the essentials of the three-person team offensive and defensive drills that they trained on weekdays slowly returned to their minds.

As more and more soldiers of the 577th Regiment poured into the second line of defense of the Japanese army, the battle became more and more fierce after the hand-to-hand encounter. The Japanese troops of the 163rd Wing, which was defending the second line of defense, had suffered heavy casualties in the shelling just now, and now they had suffered such a fierce blow, and the Japanese troops with heavy casualties unconsciously began to gradually retreat to the rear......
