The sound of air currents crashing into the sky due to the flight of objects can be heard.

"Anti-artillery!"

When I shouted these two words, it was also when the shell exploded, and a howitzer was falling next to us, boom! With a loud bang, Lai San's body at the explosion point flew in mid-air and fell again, and all the internal organs were blown up and collapsed in all directions, and he died on the spot.

The waves of air set off by the shells slammed me into the fortification wall in front of the battalion department, and then fell to the ground, I only felt tinnitus and dazzle, my blood was churning, and I felt that my throat and eyes were sweet, as if I could spurt blood at any time.

Ani shouted: "Ambulance, ambulance, come here, the battalion commander is wounded!" ”

Shangguan Yusi, who was no better than me, coughed for a long time against the trench, and his head was full of dirt. When he heard Ani screaming like this, he struggled to crawl over, looked at me, and shouted back, "It's okay! The cannonball stunned! ”

Rumble! Another cannonball whizzed in.

Zhou Dalei shouted: "Seventy-five mountain cannons! Don't keep your mouth shut, try to keep your mouth open as much as possible......"

In the aftermath of the opening of the word, the Qiwushan artillery shell made an even more earth-shattering explosion, but fortunately, this time the explosion point was far away from us. Even so, the mud kicked up by the shells buried me in the soil almost instantly.

The Japanese artillery fire found the specific location of our position so accurately, that is to say, Lai San was really innocent, except for him, I can't think of anyone who can reveal such an accurate position, and every artillery exploded near my battalion headquarters.

When I was dug out of the earth, the Japanese were already approaching the second line of defense of our position, and Zhou Dalei commanded the army in a counterattack, and after the panic at the beginning, our counterattack began to become more violent.

It didn't take much effort for the Japanese to break through our first line of defense - because no one heard the warning of even a single gunshot from the outlying guard posts.

More than half of our alert troops were pulled back by Zhai Li, and the Japanese army easily and easily killed our poor and relaxed guard posts.

What impressed me was Tan Weimin, who took a few people and almost blocked the attack of a small group of Japanese troops.

Dada! Tan Weimin's Czech light machine gun spat tongues of fire, hitting accurately and ruthlessly, and after shooting down a few Japanese soldiers who were screaming and charging indiscriminately, the follow-up Japanese soldiers began to learn to lower their bodies and shoot at us.

Still in the aftermath of being stunned by the shells, I stumbled to the artillery position and directed the few of our defensive guns to bombard the enemy head-on.

The artillery shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese chargers, and the Maxim heavy machine guns kept strafing, and the Japanese offensive gradually turned from unstoppable at the beginning to positional warfare.

This is what I would like to see, as long as I can enter positional warfare, the defending side will also lose battle losses because of the tight defense of the position. On the contrary, the attacking side, if it does not want to pay too much damage, is bound to have stronger heavy weapons than ours.

After a short period of stalemate, the Japanese troops who attacked at night suddenly launched a fierce attack again, and grenadiers, 92 heavy machines, and crooked light machine guns rained down on us.

The sudden escalation of firepower made our counterattack immediately weak. In addition to the machine-gun fire that was returning fire, the rifle barely had the barrel to stick out.

The Japanese infantry did not reappear, and after their heavy weapons were raging, all sorts of shells frantically smashed into our positions again.

In the dark night, the cannonballs exploded into the sky, and then a huge black fog rose, and it was a continuous bombardment one after another, and the power was so great that the whole earth trembled.

With such dense artillery fire, the firepower of our battalion barely had the ability to resist decently, and we could only cower in the trenches, waiting for the bombardment to stop.

The deafening artillery fire lasted for about ten minutes before the bombardment finally stopped, and if the Japanese artillery shells were continuously supplied, if this bombardment method lasted for half an hour, my position would have been reduced to ashes.

The air was filled with the choking smell of gunsmoke, and the positions that had been destroyed by shells of this magnitude were like piles of post-war ruins on the left and right.

Once again, I arched out of the pile, spitting out the foam in my mouth, and shouted, "Herald! Where is the herald dead! Get ready to arm! The devil's infantry is coming up! ”

Judging from my experience in fighting with the Japanese army for many years, the next step should be the usual tactics of the Japanese army: after the artillery bombardment, the infantry will go to the infantry, and if the infantry cannot rush down, the infantry will retreat, and the artillery will continue to bombard.

Repeatedly, it was such a simple tactic, we had been fighting the Japanese army for four or five years, but we had no way to deal with them.

It's just that this time I miscalculated, after the overwhelming shells, the Japanese infantry did not appear, except for sporadic cold gun shooting, our camp was empty.

"Momfuck! What kind of trick is this playing, little devil? Zhou Dalei stood up with his submachine gun and looked at the empty target area.

Ani shouted, "Chief Zhou, come down, watch out for devils and snipers!" ”

I held up my binoculars and looked at the mess of our army positions outside the camp, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were carried away except for our dead soldiers on the ground.

I patted my head, which was a little swollen from the shells, and said: "I understand, the Japanese are trying to take our position in one go, and once they can't take it, they will immediately let the artillery bombard it violently, creating the illusion that they are going to charge again, when in fact this is just covering the retreat of their ground troops!" ”

Shangguan Yusi was very puzzled and said: "But the Japanese army has already taken the lead, why did they suddenly give up the attack?" ”

Not far away, the second battalion, which heard the sound of firefighting and rushed to reinforce it, had already appeared in our sight.

I pointed at them and said, "That's the reason, the Japanese army is worried about the enemy on their backs, so they can't take us in a short time, so they will withdraw immediately!" They are now short of troops, and they are bent on a quick victory! ”

"Mom, the little devil is really a fucking ghost! The tricks keep coming! Zhou Dalei scolded.

"Bring Zhai Li here!" I commanded with a blank face.

Zhai Li was shot in the leg, and he limped over with the help of the soldiers: "Battalion commander, I'm really confused, I hurt everyone." ”

I sighed and said, "Alas, woe and blessing are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are lurking! Zhai Li, I thought that I would surrender you in Damangshan, which would increase the strength of our army and allow you to contribute to the country, but it backfired, you are difficult to change, you have no military discipline in your heart, and you only act according to your own mood! It's really hard to convince everyone if I don't kill you! ”

Zhai Li: "Battalion commander, I know it's wrong, give me another chance, I promise ......"

I raise my Mauser pistol and bang bang! After firing three shots in a row, Zhai Li fell to the ground, and his body twitched a few times before he lost his life.

Tan Weimin stood aside, looked at me in surprise and suddenly executed Zhai Li without warning, and said, "You, how are you ...... Platoon Commander Zhai has just fought against the Japanese army, and he is very brave and tenacious! Why don't you give him another chance? ”

Me: "The Japanese army was able to almost succeed in a sneak attack, because Zhai Li neglected his duties, believed people's words, and withdrew the alert troops privately, which caused the first defense position to be quickly captured!" Today, the Japanese army is afraid of our reinforcements, otherwise all of us will be buried here! ”
