In the pile of wounded soldiers in the trenches, a veteran soldier with his right hand missing watched the brothers in front of him fall in pieces under the devil's bayonet, gritted his teeth, pulled a grenade from a corpse, slowly crawled out of the trench, rolled into the stabbing area, and searched for the devil's pile......

"Fuck, it's just a few of you, and labor and management also have backs when they are dying, no loss!" The old soldier crawling on the ground stood up with a mutter,

"Little devil, let's die together!" With a roar, the left-handed veteran pulled the grenade's rope and rushed into the devil's pile.

The explosion of the "boom" grenade tore the veteran apart, and several little devils next to the veteran were not spared, several devils were motionless while handing them over, and the only surviving devil fell to the ground wailing and groaning......

"Kill me!" Zhao Dingchang brandished the big knife more and more fiercely, and Zhao Dingchang, who had already knocked over the two little devils, did not get tired at all, and continued to rush towards the devils.

"Withdraw!" Yamashita Shaozo saw that his troops were getting fewer and fewer, and finally gave the order to retreat......

"Chase, kill all these brutes." Zhao Dingchang grinned and roared, and the tired wartime men chased after the retreating Japanese soldiers with their bayonet rifles.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The Type 92 heavy machine gun on the heavy machine gun position in the rear began to roar, and it was strafing the personnel of the 11th Reserve Division in pursuit.

"Deputy commander, you can't rush, there aren't many brothers left." The guard battalion commander dissuaded,

"Retreat, go back to the trenches!" Zhao Dingchang gritted his teeth,

In the trenches, the tired brothers lay down on the edge of the trenches to rest, Zhao Dingchang took a sip of water and asked the guard battalion commander,

"How many brothers do we have left? How much ammunition is left? How many officers are left? ”

"Deputy Commander, counting all the lightly wounded, we are all less than 800 people; The regiment commander has been killed, there are still 3 battalion company commanders, and there are less than 10 squad and platoon leaders. Ammunition is already running low. "The commander of the guard battalion said,

"Alas! I don't know when the reinforcements from the military headquarters will arrive! Zhao Dingchang said,

"Deputy Commander, why don't we retreat to the second line position! The few people we have left are not enough for the next wave of attacks by the Japanese devils! The guard battalion commander said cautiously,

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

The artillery squadrons of the Japanese devils began to bomb again......

Grenades fired from mountain and field artillery exploded accurately on the position......

From time to time, the brothers who had been killed howled and rolled on the ground in pain......

"Deputy Commander, you can't hesitate; Withdraw! The guard battalion commander shouted in Zhao Dingchang's ear,

The remaining brothers in the trenches looked at Zhao Dingchang with blank eyes, if it were not for the deputy commander to take charge in person, it is estimated that these people would have run away long ago......

"Withdraw, take the wounded with you. Walk! Zhao Dingchang hesitated for a few seconds, the roaring cannonballs above his head kept exploding, and in just a few seconds, several more brothers flew into the sky with the explosion of the cannonballs......

Zhao Dingchang took the remaining hundreds of brothers and ran towards Zhangshuwan in embarrassment under the sound of Japanese artillery fire......

"Deputy Commander? How did this happen? Deputy division commander Jiang Dangyi asked,

"The beachhead was lost before we went, and I held two waves in the first line position, and the devil's artillery fire was too fierce; With naval artillery and all kinds of field artillery and mountain artillery, our positions simply cannot resist. Zhao Dingchang took a sip of water and said,

"The devil has heavy equipment to land?" Deputy division commander Jiang Dangyi asked suspiciously,

"Well, quite a few field and mountain artillery; I guess it's the main force of the Hata detachment. Did the military department call back? When will the reinforcements arrive? Zhao Dingchang asked,

"We have already set off, there is only one regiment of the fifteenth division, and the military headquarters has ordered us to hold Gurong. Commander, this is already our second line of position, and there is only one line of defense left behind it; What to do? Deputy division commander Jiang Dangyi asked,

"What else can I do? Only resist to the death, tell the brothers to build more fortifications! The naval guns of the Japanese devils are too terrifying! Zhao Dingchang shook his head thinking about the overwhelming artillery fire......

"Withdraw the machine-gun fortifications and personnel from the village, I estimate that the artillery fire of the Japanese devils will cover the whole village. Tear down the houses and build fire support points in the trenches with wood and stone, otherwise we will not be able to withstand several attacks. Zhao Dingchang looked at the machine-gun fire point on the roof of the village and said,

"Yes" Jiang Dangyi, the deputy division commander, immediately arranged for personnel to demolish the house, urgently dug several trenches in front of the village, and used the materials obtained from the house demolition to urgently reinforce the fortifications......

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Hatian detachment completed the landing, and with a large number of artillery, the Japanese devils advanced towards Zhangshu Bay, in an attempt to expand the landing ground and build a safe landing site for the safe landing of the 106th Division.

Nearly 3,000 men of the 11th Reserve Division in Zhangshuwan were busy munching on multigrain cakes, and in the face of the cover of the Japanese naval guns, the hot food in the rear could no longer be delivered to the position, and the brothers could only eat the leftover multigrain cakes in their pockets, which were hard and still had a bad smell......

The Taiwan Mountain Artillery Wing of the Potian Detachment slowly advanced towards Zhangshu Bay behind the Taiwan First Wing. Shigeichi Habata rode on his horse, triumphantly holding a telescope and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way......

"Your Excellency, 1 kilometer ahead, at Zhangshuwan, the people of China have formed a defensive front, and the 1st Wing of the Forward will meet the enemy in about 20 minutes." The Japanese signal corps ran to the horse of Shigeichi Harata and reported,

"Order the first wing to find the location of the artillery position 600 meters in front of the Zhina people's defense line, build an artillery position nearby, and let our mountain artillery wing use artillery shells to let the Zhina people get out of the way, so that we can attack Jiujiang directly behind the Zhina soldiers." Shigeichi Harata ordered,

"Hay! Your Excellency, Major General! "The herald ran forward to convey the order of Major General Hata,

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

The earth-shattering sound of artillery rang out, and the 48 75mm mountain guns of the Japanese Mountain Artillery Wing, the eight field guns of the 1st Artillery Squadron and the infantry began to pour shells towards Zhangshu Bay;

The positions of the 11th Reserve Division lit up with countless flashes, shells rained down, and the muddy waves that fell on the muddy ground slapped on the trenches and villages, and the muddy earth set off a wave of red.

In the loud explosion of the half-demolished houses in Zhangshu Bay, the earthen walls were falling in pieces, and the thatched roofs were blazing in the firelight.......

In the low-slung houses in the village, all kinds of debris such as water tanks, rice tanks, altars, jars, and other debris left by the village name were like pieces of paper, flying everywhere in the violent explosion......

In the shelling sound of the devils, the small village of Zhangshuwan was completely wiped flat, the muddy ground was hit everywhere by the shock wave of the explosion, and the wet ground was then dried by the high temperature of the shell explosion......
