The front-line positions of Fenghuangzui, Ma'anshan, and Nanchangpu, which had been bombed by the devils all day, were filled with thick smoke in the dark night, and the brothers who had been busy all night rebuilt the trenches to guard against the attacks of the devils......

Taking advantage of the brief gap before dawn, the brethren sat down on the spot in the hollows and trenches, and fell asleep on the spot while the light of the morning sun passed through the clouds, and the night was driven away, and the sun peeked out from the sky with a small half of its head, and shot down on the earth with a blood-colored light, and the golden light shone on the vegetated position, and the black earth gave a strange reflection......

"Don't even sit on the ground! Wake up, go to sleep and squat! Sheng Hai's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted loudly along the traffic trench,

Looking out of the communication trenches, the rolling mounds were littered with craters, the edges of which had been cut by the brothers overnight and turned into a zigzag trench.

Several officers dressed in rag soldiers' uniforms ran through the trenches, calling out to the sleeping brothers......

"Buzz, buzz......" The devil's plane came to report on time, and there was a roar of the plane in the distant sky, and as the sound became louder and louder, the huge black shadow of the plane gradually became clear in the field of vision......

"The devil's plane is coming, and they are all in the gun hole! Don't lie on the ground and sleep, squat for me! Sheng Hai roared as hard as he could,

The soldiers who woke up from their sleep shouted loudly, reminding the brothers next to them that the Japanese plane was coming and that they should quickly hide in the anti-artillery holes.

Many soldiers raised their heads and shouted and cursed frantically at the Japanese soldiers above their heads, greeting the ancestors of the devils in the characteristic Chinese language.

It has been more than a month since the defensive battle of Jiujiang, and the devils who have taken advantage of the air superiority and have ships on the Yangtze River for fire support are still continuing to attack Wuhan from two directions, and from the recent offensive, the devils have reserved a large amount of ammunition in order to capture Wuhan, at least there is no shortage of aircraft bombs and heavy artillery shells.

The Japanese, who had seized the opportunity, continued to advance towards Wuhan with the support of aircraft, artillery and warships, and the troops of the Nationalist Army were sent to the battlefield one by one, plus constantly replenished soldiers; Although the loss of the national army is very large, the current battle situation is like a demon cave that can never be filled, using its bloody mouth to frantically devour the lives of young soldiers.

The field artillery wing of the "boom, boom boom ......" devil also began to pour shells at the Fenghuangzui position, and the 75mm field artillery mixed with the shells of the 120mm heavy artillery kept falling on the Fenghuangzui position.

One after another, Japanese planes arrived over the position, slowly opened the magazine, and at least 250 kilograms of aerial bombs fell towards the position at Fenghuangzui......

"Boom!"

The violent roar was deafening, the huge mushroom cloud that rose as usual bloomed like fireworks, the power of the bomb explosion instantly destroyed the trenches around the landing site, and the smoke and dirt rolled up slowly spread to the surroundings, enveloping the position, and the terrifying air wave swept away with the mud and sand, impacting all objects above the horizon on the position, and the sound of the officer's roar could not be heard far at all, and it was drowned in the rumbling cannon sound as soon as it exited.

The violently trembling position, trying to destroy the nerves of the brethren in the bunker, the mud and fog with sharp shrapnel flew wildly over the position until the kinetic energy was exhausted, and then fell into the dirt......

Shells continued to explode overhead, and the brothers of the second battalion knew how to protect themselves in this kind of bombardment after yesterday's bombardment......

"Damn, this little devil is not human! Such a bombardment, this is a move to blow up our position directly! "A brother crouched on the ground and shouted loudly, and when he shouted like this, the rumbling sound in his ears seemed to be released, and his whole head should be clear;

In the face of the bombardment of heavy artillery and aerial bombs, nothing can be resisted, at least the current position of the 16th Regiment, everything in front of the aerial bombs, including mud, has been torn into mud and sand flying all over the sky......

The sandbags of the positions were blown up, the trenches were bombarded, and the shelling of the devils continued, as if they were not willing to turn the positions into flying ashes.

The choking smoke continued to pour from the vents into the underground bunkers and anti-artillery holes, and the brothers coughed violently, and then inhaled more gunpowder smoke, and their ears were full of buzzing roars, which made the brothers who were already under-rested even more confused, did they feel like a piece of paste, basically squatting numbly in the anti-artillery holes, relying on instinct to persevere......

"Ding, ding......" The phone of the 16th regiment headquarters rang,

"This is the Sixteenth Regiment...... Wait! The guard at the regiment headquarters took the phone and said to He Jianye,

"Regiment commander, the brigade commander is looking for you!"

"Brigade Commander" He Jianye picked up the phone,

"He Jianye, can you still hold on? Do you want the 18th Regiment to change guards with you? On the phone, Lai Chuanxiang shouted loudly,

"Brigadier, no; It's still alive! He Jianye yelled loudly into the phone, and the rumbling shell explosions above his head continued;

"If you want to support and report immediately, in short, just one request, Phoenix Chew can't be lost. Do you understand? Lai Chuanxiang roared,

"Yes, understood! Rest assured, brigade commander! After He Jianye finished speaking, he hung up the phone and wandered around the regiment headquarters, and he didn't know when the devils would start the infantry attack!

On August 2, the devils continued to bomb for a day, but still did not launch an infantry attack, and it seemed that they would not stop without shells to overturn the positions of the national army, and when night fell, as yesterday, the brothers came out of the bunkers and anti-artillery holes one by one, and continued yesterday's procedure, first searching for the remains of the wounded brothers, then sitting on the broken positions and eating, resting and continuing to repair the positions......

The hot meals of the cooking squad always arrived at the position of the 16th Regiment on time about two hours after the artillery stopped......

"Commander, today the second battalion has suffered another 34 casualties; Will we continue to send observation posts tomorrow? None of the observation posts survived these two days! It's just to die! Sheng Hai, the commander of the second battalion, came to the regiment headquarters and said to He Jianye distressedly,

"Pie! If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if; Can you guarantee that tomorrow the devil will not send infantry to attack for a day? He Jianye said,

"Understood, Commander; Then I'm back to the ground! Sheng Hai said,

"Go ahead! I'll see the brethren later! He Jianye was also very distressed, but he was afraid that the spirits of the brothers would collapse if they could not stand this continuous bombardment, so he had to go and cheer up the brothers tonight......

"I'm He Jianye of the 16th Regiment, give me the artillery battalion Huang Wujun." He Jianye picked up the phone and said,

"Commander, I'm Huang Wujun." Huang Wujun said on the phone,

"How's the spirit of the brethren these two days?" He Jianye asked,

"It's okay, no casualties; The movement of the devil's shell is quite big, but our position is far away, so there is no big problem! Huang Wujun said,

"Before dawn tomorrow, you will send the deputy battalion commander with a mortar team to the Fenghuangzui position and stand by around the regiment headquarters! I guess tomorrow the devils will attack anyway, it's been two days since they exploded. Once the offensive is bound to be crazy, tell your mortar team to get ready! He Jianye said,

"Yes, don't worry, the head of the regiment!" Huang Wujun put down the phone.
