Taking advantage of the cover of the night, the Japanese 113th Wing successfully withdrew to the Liujiacun defense line, and the insufficient reserve of the 9th Division was exhausted, it was too dangerous to pursue the Japanese army in the dark night, no matter how critical the form, the Japanese commander would constantly order the soldiers to stop and build a blocking line, if the Chinese army pursued too deeply, the Japanese army would often play a counter-ambush under the cover of the terrain, so as to kill a large number of Chinese troops;

On the position of the Confucian Temple in the night, Zhang Yanchuan did not give up repairing the fortifications on the position because he was about to withdraw from the position, and the telegram made it very clear that it was necessary to wait for the 155th Division to arrive at the position before retreating, and the 155th Division arrived at the Confucian Temple from Zhujiashan, the mountain road was more than one kilometer, and it was at night, and it was completely unpredictable when to set off and arrive;

"Hold on, there are still five hours before dawn; All trenches, communication trenches, and anti-artillery holes must all be re-excavated, and there must be no delay for a moment! Zhang Yanchuan shouted loudly,

After this wave of night fighting, the tired brothers knew that the attack of the devils could arrive at any time, and the Confucian Temple, which had no fortifications, was afraid that there would be no one left on the position after the heavy artillery bombardment of the devils; Hold on!

"The guard company put the sentry at the foot of the mountain, and the devil came and fired a warning shot directly!" Zhang Yanchuan got his hands on it himself, carrying a shovel and digging hard......

By daybreak, the nearly 1,000 brothers who had prepared the Ninth Division had finally finished their fortifications; The brothers who were short of ammunition searched for guns and ammunition left by the devils all over the position, and gathered some of them, but the heavy machine guns were all blown up by mortar guns, and there was a crooked handle, and there were dozens of 38 large covers, and there were a lot of bullets; The rest of the things are basically gone, after all, the devils are here to raid, and there are not many equipment to bring......

Except for Zhang Yanchuan's guard company, the rest of the brothers fell asleep in the trenches on the position, and some of the brothers later held half a piece of multigrain bread, but they were so tired that they had already fallen asleep while the multigrain cake in their mouths was still chewing; With a deep breath, the multigrain cake in his hand immediately fell into the dirt on the ground......

Zhang Yanchuan, who was patrolling the trenches, looked at the thin and tired brothers, and they were still frowning when they fell asleep, saying that dreamland was the best place for the soul to fly, and it seemed that they could not escape the vicious battle with the devil in sleepland?

The sky gradually brightened, but the brothers showed no sign of waking up, and Zhang Yanchuan shouted loudly: "Wake up!" The shelling of the devils came immediately, leaving a company to watch the position, and the rest went into the defensive artillery holes! ”

The officer, who had only rested for less than two hours, woke up first, slapped the brothers who were still not awake around the trenches, and shouted loudly, so that the brothers' nerves quickly collapsed, and they were in a state of confusion that they could not cope with the attacks of the devils......

"Chirp!"

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

The bombardment of the devils came as soon as it was said, and many brothers were still moving slowly towards the anti-artillery hole in a daze, and the heavy artillery shells of the devils had already fallen around the position, and the terrifying air waves and the mud brought up by the explosion suddenly made the muddy brothers extremely sober, and they rushed to the anti-artillery hole one by one......

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

After the first two shells of the devil's heavy artillery exploded around the position, shells continued to fall on the position, and the soldiers who did not have time to enter the anti-artillery hole were brought into the sky without screaming, and they could no longer see the human form when they landed, and the trenches and communication trenches that had just been repaired last night were constantly destroyed by the heavy artillery, and the huge noise covered the ears of the brothers, and the vain shouts of the officers could not be transmitted at all, and now they relied on their own reactions......

"Boom"

Heavy artillery mixed with the devil's field artillery and mountain artillery are constantly shelling the position of the Confucian Temple, from the Confucian Temple to the present, the shells poured by the devils here are stacked up to estimate that the mountain is almost as high, and the weeds, shrubs, and trees all over the mountain have disappeared, and they have all been cleaned up by the devil's artillery fire......

"Boom"

The Japanese army position in Liujia Village, the tank drove out again, the 145th Wing just took the Jinguan Bridge yesterday, and today I can't wait to be the vanguard of the attack, Ichikawa Yozo personally launched an attack with a brigade, behind the tank is two squadrons of Japanese infantry, the Japanese infantry is replenished very quickly, in wartime, they don't need to think about the rear to apply for supplementation, their own logistics squadron, baggage wing and other auxiliary arms are their best soldiers, only need to be assigned good officers, is a force that can recruit and fight......

The devil's artillery time was very good, and it stopped on time when the chariot reached 100 meters below the Confucian Temple Mountain, and the devil's infantry continued to move forward for 50 meters under the cover of the chariot;

The "Kaka" tank stopped, the turret began to rotate, and the on-board heavy machine gun was being prepared......

"Tactical formation, keep moving! Kill and give"

The rank and file officers of the devil were roaring vigorously, the chariots had already lost 6 here, and the commander no longer dared to bring the chariots close to the foot of the mountain to support; The Chinese defenders are too crazy, and they are completely too long-term.

When the sound of artillery stopped, the left-behind company on the position of Confucius Temple discovered the devil who was gradually approaching, and the devil tank was too obvious......

"Go to a few people, inform the division commander and brothers, the devil has come up." The newly appointed company commander was already in battle, and a platoon commander shouted;

In less than five minutes, the position was filled with the scolding of officers, and the brothers with black eyes and blood-red eyes bent over and continued to pass through the communication trenches and enter their own positions......

"Damn, why did the devil tank come up again? Trouble! Zhang Yanchuan muttered,

"Divisional commander, how do you fight?" Seeing that the devil tank stopped, the devil infantry came forward, and the idea of the grassroots officers wanting to send a death squad to blow up the tank was gone;

"Let the brethren put the devil infantry at 150 and then fire, and fight the devil infantry, and the light machine guns are not allowed to fire, and we have 4 machine guns left; Call the devil when it is critical. Zhang Yan said,

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

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

This used the devil's on-board machine guns and tank guns to fire directly at the defenders' positions, and after fighting for so long, all the devil officers understood that unless the defenders of China were dead, there would always be guns and shouts of resistance on the positions.

"Don't move, hide; Wait for the order to shoot again! "The devil pressed closer and closer, and it was almost three hundred meters, and the officers had to shout around the trenches.

"Come on! Dog mongrel, who has the ability to come directly to fight bayonets. "The distance is gradually approaching 200 meters, and now that the brothers understand their ammunition situation, they wish that the devils would also give up machine guns and grenadiers, and they are not afraid of fighting the devils to the death.

It's a pity that the devil's next move put the defenders on the position into a torment.

The infantry attack line launched by the devils became wider and wider, and the width of the skirmish line was seven or eight hundred meters, and it had already attacked from the east and south of the Confucian Temple in a half-moon shape.

"Stop!"

The voice of the commander's grassroots commander of the devil sounded, and the infantry of the devil quickly lay down under the noses of the defenders, with the help of craters, corpses and other objects on the spot to set up rifles and crooked machine guns, and the grenadiers behind them crawled on the ground and waited for orders.
