On the front-line position of Jiangjia Village, which was only less than 1 kilometer away from the beachhead on the shore of the lake, the counterattack troops who had retreated in embarrassment stabilized their frightened minds in the shouts of Zhao Dingchang, and slowly entered their positions......

At 5 a.m., the rain that had lasted for most of the night finally stopped, and the water in the trenches reached the thighs of the soldiers, and the brothers who had struggled to build bunkers in the water were draining the water with all the tools at hand......

"Boom, boom"

The infantry of the Devil's Landing Brigade began to prepare fire on the position of the Reserve 11th Division, and at the beachhead, the Devil's Yamashita Squadron under the leadership of Squadron Leader Yamashita Shaoza was assembling to prepare for a wave to capture the defense line of the Reserve 11th Division......

The devil's infantry ran and the mortar poured countless shells into the defenders' positions, and the officers and soldiers of the Reserve 11th Division, who were suffering in the water, were suffering from the devil's shells with their bodies and flesh;

"Boom!"

The shells fell into the trenches, and the shock wave of the explosion violently hit the shallow stagnant water, and the muddy trenches shook violently, bursting into a dazzling fire, and several brothers around the shell landing site were blown apart before they could react, and the flying blood and the cracked arms and legs fell from the empty to the perimeter of the trench in a free fall with shattered flesh and bones.

The strong wave of the sweeping air shook many of the brothers to the edge of the trenches, and the buzzing in the ears of the surrounding brothers was blown up, and when they saw the head that fell at their feet, they felt frightened and cried out in horror.

"Ahh Dead! Dead! ”

The 11th Reserve Division is the remnants of the 33rd Division after the Songhu battlefield was disabled, plus a large number of additional recruits formed, from the beginning of the battlefield, the nerves of the recruits have been tense, a distant explosion of shells can frighten these recruits lying on the ground and dare not get up, at this moment I saw the companions next to me in the blink of an eye was blown to pieces of flesh and flew around, the string in the head was finally broken, desperate to shout loudly.

The veteran squad leader next to him smashed the frightened recruits into the stagnant water with the butt of a rifle, and scolded: "You are yelling a fart, shut your mouth for Lao Tzu!" The devil's cannonballs are looking for ghosts who are afraid of death, don't howl! ”

Perhaps it was the pain in the shoulder that reminded the recruit that this was on the battlefield, or perhaps it was the fear that the devil's shells would fall on his head with his shouts, and the recruits forgot their fear and stopped shouting.

The veteran squad leader stepped on the blood in the trench, walked to the vicinity of the crater, looked at the incomplete corpses that were blown up, and touched the broken corpses, and several recruits next to him looked at the veteran's calm expression, and the red blood and white brains on the edge of the trench were stuck to the muddy soil.

A few recruits next to him saw Bai Dihong's burst of bloody gas, and directly said, "Whew!" "Holding on to the trench, I vomited violently......

"If you don't want to die, collect the equipment on the ground and replenish your ammunition. Look ahead, ready to fight devils. The veteran squad leader said as he collected the bullets,

The veteran squad leader's tone did not have the slightest emotion, and there was an expression of Gu Bo not being surprised on his face; As if the corpses lying in pools of blood in the trenches were not their own brothers, but strangers they didn't know, the few recruits who vomited next to them felt the cruelty of war in horror.

This veteran squad leader is the remnants of the original 33rd Division, on the battlefield of Songhu, they have a whole I company, and finally returned to the rear alive and left himself, facing the death of countless comrades-in-arms and brothers, he has seen a lot of dead people in countless battles, and it is not that there is nothing worse than this, and his nerves have long been numb.

"Sooner or later, it's better to die anyway, and it's better to think you're dead than to fight with the illusion of returning to the rear alive; Then you will feel much better. The veteran squad leader finished cleaning up the ammunition scattered on the ground, holding the bullets with his sticky hands and distributing them to a few recruits next to him, and said to these recruits while distributing,

"The devil is coming" Listening to the sound of Suosuo coming from the front, Zhao Dingchang still looked out of the binoculars and was still dark, but Zhao Dingchang, who had been fighting for many years, knew that it must be the devil who was coming.

"Get ready to fight! Don't shoot, wait for my orders! Zhao Dingchang roared loudly, this tragic voice was to give those recruits courage,

"Bang"

There are recruits who can't bear this pressure, and the Hanyang in their hands has gone off, and with this gunshot, the position of the 11th Division is like fried beans.

"Bang, bang, bang......." gunshots kept ringing out,

"Ceasefire! Stop shooting for me! Zhao Dingchang yelled anxiously,

"Bang, bang, bang......." The sound of the devil's 38 big cover was heard, and the bullets chirped, chirped, and chirped accurately into the dirt on the edge of the trench......

"Boom, boom, boom" the grenadiers of the devils began to fire grenades

From time to time, grenades fell near the trenches and exploded violently.

Every time a shell hits, the recruits will involuntarily feel numb in their scalps, and their bodies will squat in the trenches without control, and they will not dare to rise up;

"Get up all of me, I hear the order to shoot!" The platoon leaders of the grass-roots squad were all veterans, and at this time, these veterans played a huge role, insulting and beating those recruits who did not obey orders, so that the temporary division, which accounted for the vast majority of the recruits, would not collapse under the sound of Japanese artillery......

The erratic grenades are like ghosts from hell, popping up and falling from time to time, and each explosion is like an explosion in the recruit's heart, destroying the recruit's soul. Veterans are afraid of machine guns, recruits are afraid of artillery, and those rumbling cannons are like reminders, making recruits feel shrouded in fear.

"Heavy machine guns are not allowed to fire! Rest of the brethren, listen to my commands! Fire! Zhao Dingchang gave the order loudly,

"Da, da, da......" "Bang, bang, bang......"

The roar of the Czech machine guns, accompanied by the fire of the Hanyang-made rifles, successfully stopped the attack of a Japanese squadron, and after leaving behind a dozen corpses, the Yamashita squadron retreated......

"Stop firing, light machine guns shift firing positions!" Zhao Dingchang, who knew the tricks of the Japanese army, gave an order to keep the machine gun, without the continuous fire of the machine gun, these recruits may not be able to withstand several rounds of attacks by the Japanese army, Zhao Dingchang is calmly commanding......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The mortar and infantry artillery of the devil began to shell again, as if they wanted to use artillery shells to directly defeat these soldiers of the national army who were holding their positions, after all, the muddy ground made it inconvenient for the Japanese attacking troops to make various tactical moves to avoid the fire of the machine guns......

"Yamashita-kun, under the cover of artillery fire attached to the brigade, when will you be able to take the position of the Shina people." Captain Murakami Taro Nakasa asked with a frown,

"Your Excellency, there is a lot of machine-gun fire on the positions of the Chinese army, and the muddy roads are not conducive to the attack of my heroic soldiers, and if you force the attack, I am afraid that you will pay great casualties; Whether to wait for the arrival of the artillery squadron of the wing before attacking. Yamashita Shaozo asked in a low voice,

"Well, that's for the warriors to hold their line and guard against the counterattack of the China; Wait for the landing of the main forces of our wing. Murakami Taro Nakasa ordered,

"Hay!" Yamashita Shaozo immediately turned around and ordered the soldiers to build a machine-gun position, as for the trenches that were not dug at all, and the devils who continued to fight after drifting on the lake for most of the night were not lightly tired, they sat down on the muddy ground, took out the field lunch box and began to replenish food, ate a few bites of biscuits and drank cold water from the saliva kettle, and the Japanese landing force rested leisurely on the battlefield;

And on the position of the 11th Division, these brothers of the national army are not so blessed, lying on the trench where blood and meat coexist, the veterans occasionally nibble on a bite of multigrain cakes, and the recruits look ahead with desperate eyes, and the tense nerves have not been relaxed......
