After receiving a telegram from the 11th Reserve Division requesting support, Li Yutang ordered the 15th Division to send a regiment to reinforce the 11th Reserve Division, and the troops of the 15th Division braved the heavy rain at night to reinforce Gutang.

A regiment of reinforcements rushed forward in the heavy rain, the torches were completely incapable of burning to provide light, and the reinforcements were getting slower and slower in the night, knowing that at 6 a.m. there were still 5 kilometers of dirt roads waiting for them from the reserve 11th division......

At 7 o'clock in the morning of July 23, the sky gradually brightened, and the light rain in the early morning did not have much impact on the landing of the Japanese heavy equipment......

Yamashita Shaozo watched the artillery squadron directly under the brigade nervously arranging the artillery positions, and he couldn't suppress his mood of wanting to immediately break through the positions of the Chinese army and gain combat merits......

"Assemble" Yamashita Nakasa beckoned his squadron to assemble, ready to attack the position of the Upper Shina directly after the artillery fire.

Under the guidance of the artillery observers, the mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry artillery on the Devil's artillery position, and the naval guns on Panyang Lake were fully fired, firing a salvo of fire at the first line of defense of the 11th Division......

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

The earth-shattering sound of artillery rang out, and countless flashes of light lit up on the first line of positions of the Reserve 11th Division, shells poured like raindrops, and the earth set off a terrible red wave.

Tons of shells poured down tons of artillery on the defenders' positions, which were washed by the torrent of steel, and the trenches and various fortifications could not reach the bombardment of large-caliber naval guns, and were razed to the ground with the roar of the ground shaking and shaking.

The terrifying shock wave and the violent explosion had already made the officers on the positions of the 11th Division in reserve give up their shouts, and now the situation was only a matter of luck, and who survived was entirely up to luck;

The recruits of the 11th Division were pale at the moment, so frightened that they couldn't hold their guns steadily, and some of the recruits lay directly in the muddy water of the trenches, but this still couldn't save themselves, and they were directly shocked into the air by the shock wave of the large-caliber naval guns, and when they fell on the trenches, the fragile internal organs of the human body had been shattered......

Zhao Dingchang looked at the recruits who were running in a panic, and sighed in his heart, the soldiers who had not seen the cruel situation on the battlefield were still a little worse after all, compared to a real soldier, they were like the difference between children and adults.

"Perhaps only in this torrent of steel, after the baptism of blood and fire, will these recruits truly transform and grow. It's just that how much more will survive? Maybe they will all die on this position. Zhao Dingchang squatted in the trench and thought,

The salvo fire of the devil's naval artillery began to extend, and the shells had fallen on the second-line positions and those roads that might rush to support, but the devil's artillery squadron was still bombarding the first-line positions with field artillery, mountain artillery, and infantry.

Although the power of the salvo of mountain artillery and field artillery was much less than that of the salvo of naval artillery, for the front-line positions of the reserve 11th Division, the casualties continued under the condition that the fortifications were basically destroyed......

The devil's shells finally stopped, and the positions of the 11th Reserve Division, which had suddenly fallen silent, were wailing everywhere!

"Ahh Help me! .......”

"My legs! Yes! My leg is missing ......"

"Fuck you little devil, labor and management have no right hand, you can throw grenades with your left hand to fuck you......"

......

All kinds of wails and curses sounded on the battlefield, Zhao Dingchang shook his head, rubbed his buzzing ears that were shocked by the shells, and shouted loudly,

"The living officers count the number of people, rearrange the defensive line, the devil is coming."

"Deputy commander, we have suffered a lot of casualties, this wave of bombing by the devils has caused more than half of our nearly 3,000 casualties, and less than 1,500 people have been kicked......," the guard battalion commander roared,

The fog in the early morning dissipated a lot, revealing the fields and weeds crisscrossing in the distance, Zhao Dingchang looked out of the telescope and found that the head of the devil on the horizon was gradually exposed....

"Prepare for battle, the devil is coming." In Zhao Dingchang's telescope, the strength of about a squadron of devils had already opened the skirmish line, forming a tactical formation and slowly attacking towards the defense line of the 11th Division......

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The 38 big cover of the devil's attacking force began to shoot at a distance of 300 meters, and the accurate bullets were fired into the dirt on the edge of the trench, and the sound of "poof" was incessant......

"Don't panic, put the devil 100 meters, and then everyone will fire together. The devil rushed to 50 meters and greeted with a grenade, "Zhao Dingchang looked at the approaching devil with only one squadron, and looked into the trench, he still has nearly 1,000 brothers, and it shouldn't be a big problem to guard this wave......

"Fire! Bang! Zhao Dingchang roared and pulled the pistol in his hand,

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

On the trenches of the 11th Division, Hanyang-made and Czech-style roared at the same time, and the recruits mechanically pulled the trigger, firing the bullets in the chamber like puppets......

The whistling bullets flew towards the Japanese squadron under the mountain, and the air was torn apart and made a sizzling sound......

"Kill it to ......" Yamashita Shaosa roared,

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The grenadiers of the devils began to support at close range, bombarding the positions of the reserve 11th Division with grenades......

"The machine gun continues to fire, the rifle is on the bayonet, the grenade is ready!"

Zhao Dingchang looked at the Japanese soldiers who skillfully used rolling, crawling and other tactical actions to approach, and found that most of the recruits' bullets were probably flying, and the devil's casualties were not large, and the devil's 50-meter distance only paid less than 20 casualties, and the devil's attacking troops were already about to enter the trench......

"Throw! Rush with me! Zhao Dingchang pulled out the machete inserted in the trench and jumped out of the trench first.

"Rush!" The commander of the guard battalion directly followed Zhao Dingchang and rushed towards the Japanese army......

Seeing the Chinese army rushing over in the trench with bayonets and broadswords, at a distance of 50 meters, the crooked machine gun behind the devil began to roar,

"Da, da......"

The soldiers who had just jumped out of the trench fell into the mud one by one, and at a distance of only 50 meters, the 11th Reserve Division paid the price of nearly 100 men......

"Poof!"

The soldiers of the 11th Reserve Division and the attacking devils finally met in close combat, and the brutal white-knuckle battle began......

The 11th Reserve Division has many people and bayonets, but although the devils are few and not tall, they are superior in their strength and strength, and the devils form a two-person stabbing team, relying on the skills they have undergone systematic training, and the officers and men of the 11th Reserve Division are fighting brutally......

"Poof" The devil's bright bayonet pierced straight into the heart of a recruit of the 11th Division, the recruit looked at the bayonet that pierced his heart, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, pulled off the pull rope of the grenade on his waist, and used his strength again, and directly hugged the devil......

"Boom!" A few seconds later, the brother and the little devil were blown to minced meat at the same time......

Of course, not all recruits have the courage to meet the little devil's bayonet, and the two recruits who were trembling on the edge of the trench saw their companions being stabbed to the ground as soon as they saw their faces, and the devil's hideous face with a bloody bayonet in his hand was so frightened that his legs and stomach were weak, and his face turned around in a panic and was about to run towards the trench.

"Poof!"

The two devils raised the 38 cover in their hands and pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly opened a bloody hole in the backs of the two recruits who turned around and fled.

"Ding Dong!" The two recruits, whose bodies had been pierced through a transparent blood hole, fell into the trench with their bodies castrated.
