Chapter 4 Position (3)

There are only more than 100 devils, but they can adapt measures to local conditions and block the Bazi Bridge here, so that a regiment can't help them, which really makes everyone angry. x updates are the fastest

At the right moment, he heard Company Commander Zhao, who organized personnel to transport the wounded soldiers down, shouted: "All the people, immediately hide in the bomb crater, the enemy's artillery fire is about to come!" ”

The sound was like a rally order, and the soldiers who were still able to fight in the entire ring of positions rushed to the bomb shelters that had been dug on both sides of the tunnel.

The so-called bomb crater, in fact, is in the trench wall of the trench, and then horizontally dig out a space that may accommodate one or two people to squat down and hide, when the enemy's shells fall, unless they fall in front of you, it is your life is not good, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to hurt the people hiding in the bomb crater, even those shrapnel flying randomly are difficult to turn and blow in, at most it is possible to blow up the soil, and bury the entire tunnel.

Of course, to dig such a bomb crater, it is not possible to dig in any trench, and the direction chosen is naturally to turn your back to the direction of the enemy's artillery fire.

After Company Commander Zhao gave an order, by the time Xiao Linghu and the others reacted, all the bomb craters were already full of people. After all, this circular position is still some, in order to be able to withstand the impact of the enemy, so there are more people, and the number of craters is less, so it will naturally throw down those who can't react.

"Hide! The enemy's artillery fire is about to begin! Company Commander Zhao couldn't help but shout when he saw Xiao Linghu and Meng Fanwei still standing there stupidly.

He was very experienced, and he had fought well in the past two days, and after each battle, he could estimate the time, calculate when the enemy would open fire next, when it would stop, when the devils hiding in the ruins would enter the position, and when they would launch another round of charges against them.

Xiao Linghu and Meng Fanwei looked around, but Liu Jingang and Huang Mao grabbed a bomb crater, and even Staff Officer Yu had nowhere to go.

"Come here!" Liu Jingang was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to give up the bomb crater he robbed.

Xiao Linghu looked at the ruins on the north side of the road opposite, and suddenly thought of an idea, he shook his head and said to Liu Jingang: "We are not fighting here, let's go to the north of the road!" ”

"Are you crazy?" Liu Jingang was puzzled: "Those devils are hiding there, as soon as you appear, you will fall on their guns!" ”

"Of course I'm not crazy!" Xiao Linghu shouted, "Huang Mao, come out, let's get out of here!" ”

Huang Mao was a little reluctant, but he had to obey the orders of his company commander.

Xiao Linghu didn't explain much, and first followed the road he had come, through the marching trench, to the farther ruins to the south, which was now the base of the Second Battalion, similar to the situation where the enemy on the other side of the road hid in the ruins.

"Hey! Where are you going? Liu Jingang hesitated, and when he saw that the three of them really had to leave, he also followed behind.

Company Commander Zhao looked at the departing backs from a distance, spat on the ground, and scolded: "Looking like a ghost, it turns out to be a coward!" ”

Staff Officer Yu was stunned, and he already understood who he was scolding.

The four of them lined up in a line, quickly passed through the marching trench, and just arrived at the ruins to the south, they heard the roar of artillery in the distance, Xiao Linghu reflexively pushed Meng Fanwei, who was still a little sluggish, to the ground, and then he also pounced; Huang Mao and Liu Jingang, who were following them, were also hurriedly curled up and lying down.

As soon as they fell to the ground, they heard a huge explosion from the other side of the ring position, which seemed to be close at hand, but far away in the sky, and all four of them covered their ears tightly and opened their mouths, otherwise they would definitely be shocked by the thunderous roar of the eardrums. Even if you lie on the ground, you can't put your whole body comfortably on the ground like sleeping, because the shells will fall and cause vibrations on the ground, which may cause resonance and injure the internal organs. The correct posture should be to lie down on the ground with your elbows and knees propped up like a shrimp, with your arms on your head, and your arms over your ears, and shrink into your arms. Like they all wear steel helmets, they just need to cover their ears. Of course, this posture is very embarrassing and ugly from a distance.

The explosion was far away, but they could still feel the tremor of the earth, and the sound was so powerful that even when they covered their ears, they felt a whining roar in their ears. And after the first explosion, the second explosion sounded again, like thunder and lightning at the turn of spring and summer.

These shells were all fired by the Type 92 mountain artillery, and Xiao Linghu knew very well that this kind of mountain artillery was now the most commonly prepared in the Japanese army, which was not only easy to carry, but also extremely powerful.

However, after four or five 92-type shells were fired, there was suddenly an even louder roar, which was like the heavens and the earth cracking, making everyone feel as if they had reached the door of hell, only to feel that it was the end of the world, and the earth was shaking and shaking, and people were dizzy, and they could only feel the dirt scattered everywhere like rain, smashing on the body, head and buttocks, although it was not like shrapnel that could easily cut through the skin and enter the body, but it also made people feel hot and painful.

"There will be a 105mm howitzer?" This surprised Xiao Linghu very much, he only knew that this kind of large-caliber artillery was rarely seen in China.

He couldn't help but feel worried about his comrades who were still hiding in the ring position, they were already some distance away from that position, and they could still feel the power of the enemy's artillery fire, and he really didn't know what would happen to those who were in it.

The enemy fired more than a dozen shells, of which the 105-mm shells hit only three times, and there were not many shells of such caliber as theirs.

Finally, it stopped, but everyone's ears were still buzzing, as if thousands of bees were flying back and forth around them.

Xiao Linghu and Liu Jingang reacted at the same time, and also got up from the ground together, and then Huang Mao also shook the soil on his body and climbed up.

However, Meng Fanwei, who was beside Xiao Linghu, was motionless, as if he was dead.

Xiao Linghu couldn't help but be a little panicked, he was really afraid that there would be a case, he hurriedly sat down next to Meng Fanwei and hugged him in his arms, but saw that his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his hands were still holding his neck, but his whole body was trembling.

"Surprise me!" Huang Mao also walked over, and when he saw Meng Fanwei's situation, he couldn't help but shout: "He's fine, he's just scared!" I thought he was really hanging! ”

The nearest shell fell fifty meters away from them, and if they were really killed by shrapnel from that shell, they could only blame their own lives.

Xiao Linghu also let out a wry laugh, and as soon as he let go, he let Meng Fanwei move freely, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground, and he screamed "ah", and got up from the ground.

"You're not dead yet!" Xiao Linghu scolded.

Meng Fanwei's face finally became bloody, and it gradually turned red.

"It's horrible! I...... I thought I was going to die! He argued.

Liu Jingang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns!" You've got to be a recruit! ”

"I ...... I've been a soldier for four years! Meng Fanwei told him unconvinced.

"He's a three-year military academy and a one-year guard, where has he ever been on the battlefield? He's a young master, and he doesn't want to hear it yet! Yellow fur dug at his bottom on the side.

"You stinky yellow hair, is your skin itchy again?" At this time, Meng Fanwei finally came alive again.
