After a night of non-stop shelling, a ceasefire finally came and the Japanese raised observation balloons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Fei ran out of the bunker to inspect the defenses of the various companies and told them to pay attention to the Japanese army's use of poison gas bombs again.

Lao Zhangtou took advantage of the dark to make miscellaneous grains and fried chili peppers, pickles and fried shredded pork to pick up, so that the soldiers could eat more strength.

Chen Fei walked around, except for the Bison's heavy machine gun platoon, three Makqin, six light machine guns, and other companies only had four machine guns, and the only way to maintain fire was to rely on the Bison.

The artillery platoon only had guns and no ammunition, and the artillery platoons of the old guns all picked up their guns and participated in the arming, Chen Fei arranged for them to be around the pillbox, intending to preserve the strength of the artillery platoon.

Ding San's sharpshooters, who had only 11 men, arranged them in front of the pillbox, where they had a wide field of vision, could shoot well and could be concealed, and they were all seeds of the independent battalion.

The communication platoon and the medical team only had a total of 8 people, Chen Fei arranged for them to be behind the pillbox, he came to the communication platoon to see Fang Min and said, "Platoon Commander Fang, where is the 39th Army?" ”

"Since the early hours of this morning, the 39th Army radio has been silent, I don't know the specific location, but it should be almost there." Fang Min said.

"Pay attention to keep communication with the command open, and report the situation at any time." Chen Fei looked at Fang Min.

"Yes! Please rest assured battalion commander! Fang Min stood up and saluted Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked at Fang Min as if the two of them were a lot closer all of a sudden, this feeling could be experienced by both parties, but they couldn't say it clearly.

Chen Fei nodded, turned around and went to the cooking platoon, and found the old steamed bun: "How about the ammunition stockpile?" ”

"There were no bullets, only eight boxes of grenades, which were used in a pinch." Old steamed bun said.

"Oh! There is another matter, protect the communication platoon and Doctor Sun, and if something happens, take them first. Chen Fei said.

The old steamed bun looked at Chen Fei, took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "I have been following you with Lao Zhangtou for a few years, in this troubled world, you rich son is really a good person, you can rest assured, no matter what happens, I will protect them." ”

"Okay! The two of you have worked hard in the past few months, and without you, my little battalion commander really can't play. Chen Fei smiled.

"Lao Zhangtou will look at people, saying that you are a martial artist, and you will not starve and freeze if you follow." Old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei smiled, and the old steamed bun came up to help Chen Fei straighten his military uniform: "The wound on your face is about to become a scar, I don't know if you are a martial artist, but you will definitely not let your brothers starve and freeze." ”

Chen Fei sat down and smoked a cigarette and smiled bitterly.

After sitting at the old steamed bun for a while, Chen Fei came to a corner of the position.

"Mouse! You call Tang Bing! Chen Fei said.

After a while, Tang Bing came.

"You come to be the deputy battalion commander and let the old dog take a company." Chen Fei said.

"Yes! I'm going to hand over with the old dog! Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei looked at Tang Bing and said, "Leave a few more seeds to re-expand the independent battalion." ”

"I understand!" Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei watched Tang Bing go back, as if he was suddenly much more relaxed.

"Mouse, you come to be the guard platoon leader, leave a few good skills, and everyone else will be given to Liu Meng!"

"Battalion commander, there are only about two dozen people in our guard platoon." Mouse Road.

"Let's keep 5!" Chen Fei said, "By the way, inform each company that Tang Bing is the deputy battalion commander." ”

At this time, Niu Tian came over and said, "Battalion commander, 5 is too little!" ”

"5 is enough, you will be the deputy platoon commander in the future, assist the mouse." Chen Fei said.

"Yes! Rest assured, battalion commander! "Niu Tiandao.

At eight o'clock, the Japanese artillery fire arrived as scheduled, and Chen Fei said secretly: "Damn it! With these three axes, the devil has no new tricks. ”

"Anti-artillery! Anti-artillery! In the distance, the company commanders shouted.

Although they were all medium guns, they were quite dense, with about 60 75mm guns.

The artillery fire lasted for an hour, and the positions of the independent battalion were dug according to the German infantry trenches, and the artillery fire blew up large holes in the surface positions, while the narrow trenches and anti-artillery holes were fine, and if it was a heavy artillery of more than 100 mm, the anti-artillery holes would have collapsed long ago.

Medium guns and pursuit guns began to shell at the same time, and Chen Fei knew that the Japanese were about to attack as soon as he heard the sound of pursuit guns.

The hillside is not big, and it is useless to attack with many people, but it becomes a target.

The Japanese attacked in groups of three, with two squadrons attacking first, and the infantry jumped from crater to crater to avoid the fire of the Nationalist troops from top to bottom.

In addition to Ding San's sharpshooters shooting freely, they were all waiting for Chen Fei's order.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of 3322 gunfire doubled the pressure on the Japanese commanders, grenadiers, and heavy machine gunners, and from time to time people were killed.

When the Japanese army advanced to a distance of 30 meters, "One! Two! Three! Throw! Chen Fei shouted.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Grenades exploded one after another on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

"Da Da Da!" The three heavy machine guns of the Bison in the pillbox opened fire, and the three pillboxes were in a zigzag shape, and the firing surface just covered the entire hillside, and for a time the Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another.

The Japanese grenadiers desperately fired grenades, trying to cover the Japanese army to get up and attack, but it was useless.

The Japanese army was lying on the hillside and could not advance or retreat, so they could only insist on shooting at the independent battalion, and the Japanese army's marksmanship in the early days of the war was generally world-class, and basically all of them had good marksmanship.

The front-line soldiers of the independent battalion were also shot in the head by the Japanese from time to time.

At this time, the Japanese mortars followed, and the first-line positions flew sand and rocks.

Suddenly, the entire Japanese army began to charge towards the hillside.

Tang Bing shouted: "Throw a grenade, resist!" Resist! ”

Although the bison could not see clearly ahead, the three pillboxes continued to shoot.

The two Japanese squadrons followed the mortar shell point to attack, and the two reserve squadrons behind also charged upward.

Because the hillside is not very steep, and the distance from the hill to the first-line position is not long, the four squadrons attacked regardless of casualties, leaving the front-line front of the independent battalion in jeopardy.

The Japanese finally approached the front line at great cost, and the four companies guarding the front line began to engage the Japanese troops in the rushing position.

However, there were not many Japanese troops attacking, and the support of heavy machine guns on both sides of the pillbox made it impossible for the Japanese to continue to attack the position, and the Japanese troops who attacked the position were driven down by the reconnaissance platoon led by Tang Bing.

The Japanese army sent two more squadrons to support, mortars slammed the pillboxes and the first-line positions, Chen Fei ordered a company to hold the pillboxes around the forts, and Chen Fei led all the soldiers who could go to the first-line positions. Several submachine guns of the independent battalion made great achievements, and when the Japanese entered the trenches, they were killed and wounded by submachine guns.

The positions of the separate battalion were crisscrossed, and the Japanese attacked, but they were knocked out with submachine guns and grenades at the bend interface.

The commander of the Japanese wing thought that the successful capture of the position was clearing the way.

Chen Fei was also under pressure on the position, although there was heavy machine gun support, the Japanese army could not occupy the surface position, and could only compete with the independent battalion for trenches, but it could not withstand the large number of Japanese soldiers.

Chen Fei thought about it, this must not be able to hold the front-line position.

Chen Fei beckoned to Tang Bing.

Tang Bing shouted: "Withdraw!" All retreated to the last line of defense. ”

Tang Bing and other soldiers withdrew, and pressed the detonator.

The Japanese troops who attacked the position in an instant were all bombed and buried in the position.

The commander of the rear wing of the Japanese army was taken aback, what was going on?

The Japanese army retreated in full.

Chen Fei only had a line of defense in front of the bunker.

"Fang Min asked where the support troops were?" Chen Fei asked.

"I ask every 15 minutes and I haven't heard back." Fang Min said.

Chen Fei walked to the old steamed bun and looked at the old steamed bun.

The old steamed bun immediately understood.

Tang Bing also came over and said, "I arranged for Ding San and their platoon to protect the platoon leader." ”

As soon as Tang Bing finished speaking, the Japanese artillery fire came up again.

The three of them looked at each other and separated.

In the distance, thousands of Japanese soldiers shouted and charged forward.

The Bison's heavy machine guns fought tenaciously, but the Japanese hit very quickly, regardless of casualties.

Chen Fei's submachine gun ran out of bullets, and he took the middle rifle and shot decisively and calmly.

Suddenly, Wang Dashan pounced on Chen Fei and pressed Chen Fei under him, "Boom! "A grenade exploded on Wang Dashan's back.

Chen Fei pushed Wang Dashan away and saw that Wang Dashan's back was blown up.

Wang Da and Shan vomited blood and died on the spot.

Chen Fei didn't speak, silently got up and shot intermittently.

The Japanese have also reached the front and are capable of attacking each other with grenades.

Tang Bing ran over and was startled when he saw Wang Dashan on the ground, pulled up Chen Fei and ran.

Before Chen Fei could understand, he was pushed into the bunker by Niu Tian.

"You're in the bunker, there's me outside, Niu Tian protects your uncle." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei was stunned and took out a cigarette, when Sun Qianliang ran in, tore the clothes on Chen Fei's arm, pulled out a piece of shrapnel with tweezers, and wrapped the gauze.

Chen Fei smoked a cigarette and slowly felt the pain in his arm, and the person slowly sobered up a lot, and saw from the shooting hole that the Japanese army was swarming towards the position.

"Mouse! Rat! Chen Fei shouted.

"Battalion commander, the rat went to send the platoon commander to the back mountain." Niu Tiandao.

"You send someone to the platoon commander and tell her to send a report to the headquarters, run out of ammunition and food, and swear to live and die together in the position." Chen Fei said calmly.

"Yes!"

The troops were able to hold out for a while thanks to the heavy machine-gun support of the Bison.

Xiao Kai picked up the explosives bag and pulled the fuse, throwing away the last three explosives in one go.

"Bang!" Xiao Kai's head was punched by a Japanese rifle and fell straight to the ground.

When the soldiers on the side saw it, they immediately helped Xiao Kai up, and the heroic Xiao Kai also died.

There were still more than a dozen fighters on the position of the first company who were constantly throwing grenades, and the old dog, who had just become the company commander, was hit in the abdomen by shrapnel, and Sun Qianliang was bandaging.

Ten minutes after the battle, half of the grenades and explosives in each position were used up, and the Japanese attack was still increasing, and a large number of Japanese troops did not need to form at all, trying to break through the last position of Xiejiaqiao in one fell swoop.

Chen Fei casually copied out the M1911 pistol, pulled out the magazine and checked it.

"Bull God, it's time for us to hit the road too! Are you afraid? Chen Fei said.

"I'm afraid of a bird, it's time for 31 years to go on the road!" Niu Tiandao.

"Good! Take out all the grenades of the old steamed bun and fight hard! Chen Fei said excitedly.

Three fighters from the guard platoon hurried to get grenades.

At this time, Zhao Liu ran over and said to Chen Fei: "Battalion commander! The defense line can't be held, you go quickly, I'll cover! ”

"Just have your words! No one will leave today, the time has come to sacrifice their lives for the country, go! Chen Fei looked at Zhao Liudao.

Chen Fei was hit by the Japanese pursuit artillery so that he couldn't see the front line clearly, and it turned out to be a smoke screen fired by the Japanese army with the pursuit artillery.

"Cow God! Hurry up and still grenades! Chen Fei shouted.

The guards platoon fighters quickly picked up the last eight boxes of grenades.

"Boom! ~~~" The pillbox on the left was blown up by the Japanese army.

Chen Fei could only hold on to the front, because there was no one left.

Suddenly, there was the sound of artillery bombardment in the sky, and the mountain artillery pursuit shells exploded one after another in the Japanese army's attacking formation.

In an instant, there was a huge "Kill!" in the distance. ~~~" sound, reinforcements have arrived.

The 39th Army attacked the Japanese from all sides.

When the national army was bombarded, Tian Meier ordered a retreat, and the Japanese troops in front changed to cover the troops, fighting and retreating.

Since the south bank occupied by the Japanese army had the reserve 116 Wing as the general cover, the Japanese army covered the retreat of the two wings to the south bank at the cost of losing nearly three squadrons and 600 men.

Chen Fei sat on the edge of the position and was sad, shaking his hand and taking out a cigarette, and Niu Tian next to him hurriedly helped light it. The brothers who have lived together for two years are gone, Xiao Kai, Wang Dashan is gone, and nearly a thousand soldiers were sacrificed in the independent battalion in the battle of Xiejiaqiao, Chen Fei really wanted to cry loudly, but he just couldn't cry.

The remaining 50 fighters of the independent battalion surrounded Chen Fei.

At this time, the commander of the 39th Army, Liu Heding, and the commander-in-chief Luo came to the position, and when they saw this scene, they were deeply impressed by the tenacious spirit of the independent battalion.

"Report to the Military Commission and appoint the 88th Division Independent Battalion as an independent battalion of iron-blooded heroes!" Luo commanded.

"Yes!" An adjutant replied.

They walked to Chen Fei, Chen Fei stood up and saluted: "The independent battalion of the 88th Division was ordered to block the Japanese army at Xiejiaqiao, and the mission is complete!" ”

Commander-in-Chief Luo looked at Chen Fei and said, "Okay, order the independent battalion to move to Hemei Town, renovate and wait for orders!" ”

Chen Fei saluted the two commanders and left with the soldiers......
