As a result, both sides looked unable to guess each other's behavior, and the Japanese placed machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars behind the excavation team to protect the hard-working marmots ahead.

As long as they found that the soldiers of the national army were approaching, they began to fire shells to suppress them, but now the people in front of them have been digging for a long time, and they have not seen a single Chinese soldier come to stop them.

It is estimated that the Japanese army also has such a sense of psychological superiority, although it is played by the national army at night, but during the day, it is definitely the master of the war.

The devils dug separately, all the way through the former anti-tank trenches, and in the afternoon, they were soon digging in front of the first line of defense of the 7th Company.

The remaining 70 or so fighters of the 7th Company, fully armed, just waited for Niu Gu's order, looking at the observation balloons and planes of the Japanese army in the sky, Niu Gu's brows furrowed for a long time.

In the end, it was decided to disperse the attack, slip out one by one, try to avoid the reconnaissance and strafing of the planes in the sky, and not let the Japanese troops on the opposite side know, and slowly approached the past.

Sangou took the remaining seventeen or eighteen brothers in the fourth row, and together with Lao Deng's third row, more than thirty people rushed out and touched them one by one.

Everyone was lying in the trench, their ears were pressed to the wall of the trench, and they could hear the sound of digging over there, and everyone waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the ground was broken.

……

With a "poof", a small hole was dug through the trench wall, but it could not be dug at once, because there were rows of planks or sticks nailed up to the trench wall, fixing the soil of the trench wall.

There was a suppressed cheer over there, and it was estimated that the hard-working devils finally found that they had dug the trenches on the opposite side, but they couldn't shout too loudly, otherwise they would attract the shooting of the Chinese soldiers.

So they were discussing how to break the wooden planks on the other side of the trench wall, and the three dogs heard it clearly, and some said that they would explode it with a bomb, and then they were interrupted, bastard, didn't this expose us.

In the end, it was decided to dig some more on both sides, sawing off those wooden planks with a saw, and the three dogs secretly gestured to everyone, and everyone understood, and immediately stopped making a sound, and slowly dispersed to both sides.

After a while, the devil slowly dug open both sides, and it was estimated that there was an opening between the two of them, and the devil took a small saw that he didn't know where to get it, and began to slowly saw the wooden slats.

The wooden slats have been embedded in the soil for a long time, and they are also wet, eating saws, sawing is not happy, causing the devil to complain constantly, whispering softly, the Qilian people here can hear it clearly, of course, only the three dogs can understand.

Everyone looked at Sangou, Niu Gu At this time, he simply let Sangou be in charge of commanding in front, Sangou shook his head with everyone, it didn't mean anything, wait patiently.

The saw stretched and sawed on the side, and the seven companies here were silent one by one, their eyes only staring at the saw slowly sawing off the wooden slats.

The devil over there thought that he didn't know here, and was still carefully sawing, if he saw this scene in the sky, it must be very funny, or weird and terrifying.

Of course, at that moment, for Qilian, it was a nervous stay of time, and for the devil, it was also very nervous or excited, after digging for most of the day, it was finally completed.

Yes, it can be completed, it can be rested, and the lives of these hard-working marmots will also be completed and enter eternal rest, and everyone is counting down, and finally, there was a small cheer on the devil's side, and all the wooden slats were sawn off.

With a wave of the three dogs, the left and right Tienon and the dog's legs pulled the strings of the grenades, and threw several grenades in a row, and a burst of bombing sound resounded in both ears, and it was too close to explode.

Two seconds after the explosion, as soon as the shrapnel was finished and the smoke had not yet cleared, the first shift of machine gunner Da Shu and the second shift machine gunner Yang Chengzu quickly rushed out of the gap side by side.

After the two rushed over, back to back, armed with Czech light machine guns, they opened fire one after another, sweeping a string of devil diggers (I don't know if they were sappers or not), and regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they rushed forward separately.

The trench dug by the devil was two ends in parallel, and it was only ten meters in front of the first trench of the Seventh Company that they were put together and dug straight forward, so Da Shu and Yang Chengzu passed through this ten-meter passage, and there was a fork in the road, and the two of them attacked separately.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, each of them was followed by a group of brothers, all of whom carried rifles on their backs, but the three dogs also held two shell guns, firing left and right, shooting at the devils who were lying on the ground and wanted to fight back.

The brothers in the back, armed with bayonets, some held short javelins more than one meter long, and when they saw the devil who was still moving, it was a knife, and the people behind continued to follow, and behind Yang Chengzu, the big potato, kept throwing grenades to the front.

After a while, the devils who were squatting in the trench and preparing to sneak attack the position of the Seventh Company were subjected to a counter-sneak attack, and before they could react, raindrops of grenades and dense machine-gun shells poured over like water.

In the narrow trench, there was nowhere to escape, so they could only lie down, and those who retreated were all huddled together, and the commander of the devil behind them kept beating and scolding, but to no avail.

In the panic, it was difficult for the devils in front to organize the strength and opportunity to counterattack, the bullets kept flying overhead, and people kept falling, and the devils in the back finally began to stabilize under the beating and scolding of the commander, and their backs were attached to the wall of the trench to carry out the tactics of street fighting.

The devil also learned from the Seventh Company and began to throw grenades, and when the three dogs saw it, they immediately called the trumpeters to blow the retreat call, after all, they had too few men and horses to rush forward, and now they can't afford casualties and losses.

Everyone hurriedly withdrew to their positions in a swarm, and Niu Gu also told everyone not to stop, but to withdraw to the tunnel, which was a very correct move.

Because less than five minutes passed, the angry devils, grenadiers, mortars, and 92 rifles, opened fire with all their power, and vented all their anger on the position of the seventh company.

For a while, there was a sound of fireworks and explosions in the Seventh Company Position outside, and in the tunnel, there was a lot of laughter and laughter.

After venting his anger, the devil did not dare to take advantage of the victory to attack, it is estimated that the infantry was afraid in the positional battle, and they did not dare to charge without tanks and tanks.

Besides, it will be late now, and all observation balloons, airplanes, and artillery will lose their power, and it will be time for the Chinese army to show off its might.

The devils had to hurriedly withdraw their troops, strengthen night vigilance, and prevent the night attack of Chinese soldiers, these things are still more important. It seems that the imminent operation of digging a trench for nearly a day has not only been hard work in vain, but also has lost a lot of people.

……

The key is that at the moment of taking advantage of the victory, the advance was very resolute and powerful, and the fearless heroism of the two machine gunners was fully revealed.

However, in the end, there were still a few brothers who were killed and injured by devil grenades, and a few were injured, all of them were shrapnel, but they couldn't be operated on here, and the monk simply dealt with it, and when the 48th Army came, he had the opportunity to transfer to the field hospital.

Some of the shrapnel was not deep, so the monk used a fire bayonet to disinfect the knife edge, cut the wound, and used tweezers to pinch out the shrapnel, the whole process was very bloody, the conditions were too bad, there was no anesthesia and painkillers.

The injured brother was also in pain, but they were all good men, they endured the pain of drilling their hearts, and they could take out shrapnel, and it was best to take it out as soon as possible to avoid inflammation and suppuration in the wound.

I hope that the 48th Army will arrive as soon as possible and transport the wounded brothers out, but now the observers on the positions of the 8th and 9th companies have returned from shifts and reported a very serious news to Niu Gu.
