With the water, although it was still very hot in the trenches during the day, the brothers of the 155th Division finally felt much more refreshed, and the rancid multigrain cakes mixed with the river water made these emaciated brothers very satisfied;

"Cool! I can finally sleep, it's better if the damn little devil doesn't attack! "The brethren lay in the trenches and muttered,

The well-fed and well-fed brethren had driven all night's journey, and had worked under the scorching sun for half a day, and now that they had eaten and drunk, they leaned against the earthen walls of the trenches and fell asleep, but the head of the regiment did not dare to sleep, and looked at the brothers who had fallen asleep, and the leader of the regiment shouted,

"The guard company assembled, and the sentries went out to the front of the devils in Liujia Village, and paid attention to the movements of the devils! Let the brethren sleep well! The commander of the regiment shouted,

"Yes, Commander. I'll send two platoons! Report the situation immediately! "The commander of the guard company hurriedly left,

For an afternoon, as if the major general of the mountain area was also tired, he did not let the 113th Wing and the 145th Wing assemble to attack, and the soldiers on both sides fell asleep behind the defensive line, and the battlefield presented an eerie tranquility......

The remnant sun slowly slanted westward, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the mountains, the first line of Liujia Village and the position of Confucius Temple were covered with the golden yellow of the setting sun, the 111th Brigade Brigade Headquarters;

"Brigade commander, reinforcements have arrived! Replenishment of the 145th and 113th Wings is now being carried out as planned. "The staff officer of the brigade reported,

"Well, got it. After a day's journey, they have also worked hard, distribute food and let them have a good rest! "Shan Di Wa said,

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The staff officer turned around and conveyed the order,

Looking at the source of supplementary troops is not bad, they are all from the same division, Ichikawa Yozo's face is full of smiles, although in the battle a few days ago, his own wing took the Jinguan Bridge, but the casualties are also heavy, a large number of wounded soldiers are lying in the wounded hospital at the brigade headquarters, their three infantry brigades and mountain artillery squadrons are not satisfied at all, the full formation of more than 3,500 people from Jiujiang, and now there are less than 2,000 people who can step on the battlefield to attack, and now they have supplemented 1,000 supplementary soldiers, Confidence returned to Ichikawa's face, put down the half-eaten officer's meal, and Ichikawa Yozo strode into the brigade headquarters;

"Your Excellency, the 145th Wing requests an attack!" Ichikawa reported loudly,

"Huh? Ichikawa-kun, now that it's getting dark, launching an offensive is not conducive to our army's firepower superiority! The mountain frowned and said,

"Your Excellency, the art of war in China has clouds: the real is virtual, and the virtual is also real; Tonight, I will personally lead the warriors of the 145th Wing to occupy the Confucian Temple position! Ichikawa yelled hideously,

"Yo Si! Ichikawa-kun, do you have any plans? The mountain asked,

"I want His Excellency the General to request the field artillery wing of the division headquarters to carry out artillery bombardment of the opposite position of Confucius Temple, one shelling for 10 minutes, with an interval of half an hour each time, until the early hours of the morning, and the people of Zhina will definitely be paralyzed! There won't be too many infantry defenses left on the position, and I will lead the warriors to occupy the Confucian Temple with bayonets! Ichikawa said,

"Yo Si! Ichikawa-kun, you take your troops to rest first! I will let the 113th Wing take over the defensive positions, and the field artillery wing of the division will also launch an artillery bombardment at your request, and I am here waiting for the news of your victory. Onboard! The mountain roared,

"Hello! Thanks to the trust of the division commander, I will definitely win the Confucian Temple! Ichikawa saluted, then turned and walked out of the tent at the brigade headquarters......

On the position of the Confucian Temple, the sun has put away the last trace of afterglow, the darkness is slowly falling, and now there is still a little time before the moonlight shines on the earth, and the commander of a regiment is arranging the night sentinels, as long as the sentry can send out the signal in time, the surprise attack launched by the devil at night will hit his head and bleed in front of the strong fortifications......

"Chirp!"

The cannonball dragged the streamer across the dark night sky in a graceful arc and landed on the position of the Confucian Temple, and the rumbling sound was stirred up like muffled thunder, and the explosion lifted up the earth and rocks in the sky, and the position that had just been quiet for a long time fell into the hustle and bustle again......

"Devil shelling! All into the anti-artillery hole! The junior officer shouted, on a summer night, the brothers did not want to stay in the sweltering anti-artillery hole, so they found a corner of the position and prepared to rest, besides, the devils generally do not have the habit of shelling at night, and the shelling before launching a night attack is to remind the defenders, and the devils generally do not do this......

The devil artillery that had shelled the Confucian Temple countless times was very accurate, the parameters were ready-made, and the shells scrambled to fall on the position, driving the defenders to run into the anti-artillery holes in embarrassment......

"Ahh The brothers, who had not had time to retreat, wailed under the artillery fire, and as soon as their voices came out of their mouths, they were drowned out by the roar of artillery fire around them......

Thundered! The position was submerged in a cloud of fire and smoke, the earthquake trembled, countless fragments of stumps were blasted into the air and then fell heavily, and a rain of blood fell under the sky, it was the corpse of the devil who was bombarded by the shelling, and in the daytime cleaning, the body of the defender's own brother had been drowned.

The fortifications of the 155th Division that had been repaired during the day were gradually destroyed in the violent explosion, and the whole position was like a lonely boat in the wind and waves, struggling at sea, trying to break free from the storm and get a new life, the earth was wailing, the soldiers were squatting in the craters praying to all the gods of the sky, and the earth and stones were splashed everywhere by the terrible explosion;

The brethren who had been blocked by the bombardment lay dead in the trenches, and the roar of the explosion made no other sound in their ears, all buzzing echoes, and the blasts and dirt that were sprayed everywhere sent a heart-rending pain on their bodies, and terrible screams rang out from time to time, drifting with the sound of explosions......

The shelling of the devils stopped as soon as the brothers entered the anti-artillery hole, and lasted only about ten minutes, and the remaining brothers stared blankly at the sky, afraid that the shells of the devils would fall again......

"Hurry up and carry the wounded down, they're all out!" A regimental leader is roaring,

The brethren who had survived the catastrophe came out of the bomb holes, searching for wounded soldiers, and running to help whenever there was a wail from the position......

As far as the eye can see, the entire position has become a mess, large and small craters are messy, and several fragmented corpses are lying on the edge of the crater, but they are already bloody and fleshy, and I don't know whose it is.

"Guard company, touch the front to see if the devil has come up?" The head of the regiment roared,

In the hectic position, the brothers slowly collected the bodies of the brothers, and the wounded soldiers had already gone down......

"Chirp!"

The brethren who were still busy on the battlefield heard the whistling of shells in their ears again, and it had just been half an hour! The brethren were defenseless!

The cannonballs dragged the streamer across the dark night sky in a graceful arc and landed on the position of the Confucian Temple, and the rumbling sound was like a muffled thunder, and the explosion lifted up the earth and rocks in the sky.
