Several smashed chariots suddenly stopped at the front of the defensive position of the Seventh Company, and like a devil's disgrace, tattered plaster flags swayed in the wind.

In particular, the commander of the chariot, like a master of martial arts, hung an upside-down golden hook, hung on the opening at the top of the chariot, and his face was facing the direction of the devil's position, and it was almost half a day and a night.

It is believed that the devil will be furious when he sees this scene, and the next morning when the devil's bean chariot broke the front of the three dogs' salient position, the devil dragged the chariot and the devil's corpse back with the assistance of artillery fire and aircraft strafing.

The three dogs were waiting for them, thinking that the devils would attack again in a storm, but they didn't expect the devils to just thunder and rain, and they didn't attack the infantry again; It is estimated that there is a shortage of troops, or that ammunition and supporting forces are not ready.

……

Seeing the devil's chariot being pulled away, Sangou thought about it and suggested to Niu Gu that he couldn't wait for the devil's chariot to come, in case there were a lot of them, or there was an assistance from aircraft and artillery, it would be difficult for everyone to bear it.

You have to do some preparatory work first, how do you do it? Laying anti-tank mines? If you want to be beautiful, how can you have such a good weapon, if you don't have it, can you just sit and wait to die? It is possible to make some semi-automatic anti-tank mines.

It's very simple, it is to bury the cluster grenade in the front of the position, and the string of the grenade is connected to the rope, and one end is connected to the position, which is similar to passive fishing, which looks stupid.

But for the national army, which is desperately short of anti-tank weapons, although it is a helpless move, it is also a good choice, anyway, the supply of grenades has always been sufficient.

And the steel-core bullets they picked up were not many, and they couldn't rely on this kind of unreliable thing to live.

……

The current Luodian position is facing east and west, and the 11th Division of the Japanese Army in the east is the main attack; To the south of the west is the 18th Army of the National Army, in the middle is the 51st Division of the 74th Army, and to the north is the 58th Division of the 74th Army.

In Luodian's other positions, the devils and the Chinese army have gained and lost, but this salient is the position that should have been captured first, but it has not been able to defeat it.

What infantry and artillery coordination, cavalry raids, night raids, and infantry coordination ......, the devils used a lot of tricks, killed a lot of people, and still couldn't conquer it, and the position was still firmly held by the Chinese army.

The 11th Division of the Japanese Army, which mainly attacked Yuepu, Chuansha, and Luodian, finally began to pay attention to this originally inconspicuous small position, and the position of the 51st Division began to rise from the original brigade level to the wing level.

The 22nd Wing of the 10th Brigade of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army vowed to take back this position that once belonged to them and avenge the former Wing Commander Takeda-kun.

One morning in mid-September, the Japanese army was facing the entire position of the 51st Division in Luodian, and another burst of intense artillery fire covered it, and the saturation attack of heavy artillery for half an hour smashed the fortifications that the Chinese army had worked so hard to dig into a pulp.

The number of casualties among the officers and men of the 51st Division continued to rise under the indiscriminate blows of Japanese artillery fire, and although some new recruits were replenished, the losses of veterans were increasing, which had a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In spite of this, the officers and men of the 51st Division, who shared the same hatred of the enemy, sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, went forward one after another, fought bloody battles with the enemy, and did not give an inch.

Japan's domestic newspapers exclaimed: The Imperial Army has encountered the most difficult resistance since the Shanghai incident.

……

Today, the salient position of the Seventh Company has been severely damaged and damaged, and most of the fortifications have almost been razed to the ground, and one bomb crater after another is densely scattered on the position.

However, the Seventh Company suffered almost no casualties in the shelling, only one or two observers were killed or wounded, which was negligible compared to other national positions.

Now the people of the Eighth and Ninth Companies sometimes run into the tunnel to avoid the shells, but the tunnel is not big, so everyone is crowded together, and Lao Hu knows it several times, and he can't scold when he wants to.

Let them stay on the position, there is a great possibility of being blown up, but it is also very dangerous for them all to run into the tunnel, there are too many people, in case the tunnel is blown up and all of them are dead, he, the battalion commander, does not have to be the commander, and commits suicide to apologize.

Moreover, there are only a few at the mouth of the tunnel, and the evacuation of the entire battalion is too slow, and it is easy for everyone to swarm together, and if it is blocked by devils, it will also suffer heavy losses.

But on the whole, it is still much better than being killed and injured by devil artillery in the open position, there is no absolutely safe place on the battlefield, only relative, and the lesser of the two.

……

As soon as the artillery fire extended, everyone rushed out of the mouth of the tunnel as usual, and when they came out, they all thought that they had taken the wrong exit, and almost all the previous fortifications were gone.

If you don't have fortifications, you have to rush out, and the devils may come up, so everyone runs forward one foot deep and one foot shallow, and if there are no fortifications, they just lie in the crater and talk about it as a foxhole.

The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and I saw the devil's chariot rumbling over, because there were eight companies and nine companies on the two sides of the position of the three dogs and their seventh company, and the front of the position was not large.

The devil's strength can't be unfolded, there are still only four chariots in front, and its firepower already covers the entire position, too much, but it can't give full play to the firepower, or it can't be used, and the devil's military quality is not covered.

The three dogs thought that the devil would come up with some new tricks today, but they found that it was still four bean chariots rumbling, and they couldn't help but laugh dumbly, is the devil going to repeat the same mistake again? The pain of being beaten last time, and now forget it?

Niu Gu hurriedly called the grenadiers of each platoon and used them in a concentrated manner; Sangou brought bamboo poles to show them, took out all the belongings, set up three mortars, and asked Da Shu to move the chicken neck 92 heavy machine out, and everyone was ready to fight.

The Seventh Company not only has mortars, the steel core bullets of the 92 Heavy Machinery, but also the tunnels at the bottom of the hill, so this configuration naturally provokes the eyes of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company.

When several company commanders were occasionally talked about by the old nonsense, they would inevitably complain a few words, saying that the battalion headquarters did not have a single mortar, and they had three in the seventh company, so why couldn't they divide us into one? Even if it's a baby that you pick up, it should be a brother.

Regarding this matter, Lao Hu looked for Niu Gu several times, but Niu Gu resolutely disagreed to take out the mortar, saying: Although we have these treasures, our position is a salient and a place where the devils focus on attacking.

The last time the devil's chariot came, without this mortar, our position would definitely have to be lost, so, this is not good, we don't have many in the first place, only three, there are many, it must be given.

After all, the position of the Seventh Company is the support point of the whole battalion, and the position of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company can be lost, and with the support of the Seventh Company's position, the lost position can be taken back in one night.

However, if the position of the Seventh Company is lost, not to mention that the position of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company cannot be maintained, and even the position of the battalion headquarters behind cannot be maintained.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, it is better to find the company commander of the Eighth and Ninth Companies, explain the situation, everyone understands each other, who is the thigh and who is the arm, think clearly.
