readx; "Kill and give!"

The gunners of the army, who had been on standby for a long time, pulled the gun ropes at the same time, and the muzzles of the twelve 70-mm 92 infantry guns flashed at the same time, and the twelve orange flames roared towards the Chinese defenders' positions on the opposite side.

Before the first grenades exploded, the well-trained ammunition men stuffed 70 mm grenades into the smoke-emitting chambers, and the deputy gunners pushed the bolts, and the gunners fired at a fraction of a second, and when the second group of grenades swept across the river, the first 12 grenades exploded on the positions of the Chinese defenders.

Except for the 10 officers and men in the first trench who were observing the enemy's situation from their positions, all the other officers and men went into the anti-artillery holes to avoid the impending heavy shelling.

"Say--" Twelve 70-mm grenades slammed into the area of the first trench at the same time, "Boom, boom! With a series of explosions, the earth shook violently as if a strong earthquake had occurred, and twelve scarlet fireballs rose from the ground.

Amid the fire and smoke, the frozen ground was filled with dirt, and hundreds of shrapnel screamed at high speed in all directions.

Due to the shortage of artillery, Ono Kaito adopted the tactic of bombing the first line of defense in groups.

I saw twelve 70-mm 92 infantry guns shrouded in gunpowder smoke and dust firing frantically at a rate of 10 rounds per minute.

A wave of plucked bullets swept through the sky like a star chasing the moon, and smashed hard inside and outside the first trench of the Chinese defenders.

The officers and men silently endured all this with their mouths wide open, and there was not a trace of fear on their faces.

The first casualties were the observation posts that stood in position to monitor the movements of the Japanese army.

A middle-aged soldier curled up as much as he could, lying tightly on the edge of the trench, and from time to time a ball of fire exploded not far from him, and sharp shrapnel screamed over his head.

"Poof!" In a dull sound, a piece of shrapnel slammed into the trench wall beside the soldier, and the middle-aged soldier shook the mud on his head, and looked at the shrapnel that was still buzzing and trembling.

As long as it deviates by more than ten centimeters, the middle-aged soldier will be pierced to the heart.

"If the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva bless!" The middle-aged soldier silently recited the various immortals he could think of.

Beads of sweat rolled down the face of the middle-aged soldier, who had participated in many battles, knew that he could not be so lucky every time, and there was an anti-artillery hole not far behind him.

The desire for life made the middle-aged soldier want to return the anti-artillery shell that represented safety more than once, especially when the squad leader more than ten meters away turned into a rain of blood in a brilliant fire.

"No!" In the struggle between the soldier's responsibility and survival instinct, the low whistling sound caused the experienced middle-aged soldier to roar, and before he even had time to roll, a 70-millimeter grenade that had been accurately hoisted into the trench exploded violently at a meter of his point.

The powerful shock wave suddenly made the middle-aged soldier soar into the air, and the body gushing with blood was cut into several pieces by the swarming shrapnel in an instant, and a head crossed a strange arc in the air and fell on the position, and there was a trace of relief in the eyes that slowly closed, is it a relief that you don't have to make a choice? No one knew what the middle-aged soldier's final choice would be!

From time to time, a few grenades fell into the trenches from the group of shells that swept through the first trench, and the brutal shock wave and shrapnel raged through the trenches, and the mud on both walls fell like mud dots in their passes.

Although the 70-mm grenade was not powerful enough to destroy the anti-artillery holes built on the opposite side of the trench walls, the sharp shrapnel ejected from the grenades that exploded at the entrance of the cavity rushed to the anti-artillery holes.

In the flash of blood, one by one the officers and soldiers fell on the bodies of their comrades with screams, and streams of bloody arrows splashed out from the torn bodies, and the entire air-raid shelter was painted with a layer of dazzling scarlet.

With tears in their eyes, the officers and soldiers who had narrowly escaped carefully leaned the remains of their companions against the cave wall, and sat on the blood-soaked ground with their weapons in their hands, staring at the corpses of their companions with angry flames leaping.

"Be careful!" When a grenade exploded again in front of a bomb hole, a sergeant roared and blocked a young soldier with his body. They were the last two soldiers alive in this anti-artillery hole, and the bloody bodies of the other three soldiers lay beside them.

In the dazzling firelight, the entire anti-artillery bullet hole was shaking, and the mud on the roof of the cave was raining down.

"Phew!" The young soldier looked up from the sergeant's arms, spat out a few mouthfuls of mud, and then hurriedly looked at the squad leader who was blocking him with his body.

The sergeant looked at the young soldier with a strange expression, and the young soldier who was nervous about his heart hurriedly looked up and down, and there was no fresh blood on the squad leader's body, so he let out a sigh.

Opened his mouth with difficulty, the sergeant found that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and in a sharp pain, the sergeant snorted, "Wow", he spit out a lump of blood, and slowly fell towards the young soldier.

Hugging the sergeant, the panicked young soldier cried, "Squad leader, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Giggles!" The throat squirmed, gulps of blood gushed out, and the sergeant, whose eyes were fading with life, slowly stopped convulsing in the arms of the screaming young soldier.

The young soldier picked up the sergeant's body, and a piece of shelmine was impaled into the sergeant's vest, carefully placing it with the other three corpses.

"Squad leader, you're good to go! I will take revenge on you and the brethren! The roar of the young soldier echoed in the sky for a long time.

Outside, the artillery bombardment that lasted for nearly 10 minutes was still raging.

When another blood mist rose in the first trench in the telescope, the lock pillar couldn't hold back any longer, turned around suddenly, and desperately suppressed the anger in his heart, "Brother Fei, where is the cannon of the 31st Division?" And what about the artillery of the 2nd Army? Why not fight back! ”

Gao Fei, who was also dripping blood in his heart, opened his mouth, but said nothing. He knew that this was the last moment, and the most critical moment. Now, the 2nd Army, perhaps, no longer has the strength to continue shelling

A roar came from the sky in the distance, and the lock pillar, whose face had changed drastically, hurriedly raised his telescope, and eight black dots were rapidly approaching from the north.

Hanging down the telescope weakly, the lock pillar silently looked at Gao Fei, who had predicted that the army would dispatch fighters, and was glad in his heart, fortunately, the artillery battalion did not counterattack, otherwise the exposed artillery would not be able to dodge the air attack of the army.

Gao Fei, who bit his lip with his teeth and didn't feel any pain, looked angrily at the planes that were bombing and strafing in the air, if his eyes could shoot down the fighters, these eight 92 fighter-bombers would have been shot down several times.

The reason why Gao Fei anticipated the arrival of the Yue aircraft is also simple to say, in the historical Battle of Nanchang, the Yue army used continuous and fierce air strikes to cover the advance of the roundabout corps.

Under the order of Captain Takumi Nakano, the signalmen gave the order to stop the shelling to the artillery positions that were already filled with craters.

"Matsumoto-kun, under such ground-to-air firepower, do you still think that the Shina position cannot be broken through?" The triumphant Shibata Tsubasa asked Ken Matsumoto with something to say.

Seeing that Matsumoto Ken should not fight, the boring Shibata Tsubasa also focused on the air raid.

Eight 92 fighter-bombers formed a long formation and swooped down one after another, and one after another huge aerial bombs swooped down on the positions of the Chinese defenders with a terrifying scream.

With every earth-shattering explosion, a huge orange fireball soared into the sky over the Chinese defenders' positions.

Eight 92 fighter-bombers, which went back and forth to bomb at low altitudes, dropped 48 aerial bombs of nearly 100 kilograms, and the entire Chinese defenders' positions groaned in pain in the explosion that destroyed everything.

Trenches collapsed in the firelight, and clumps of mud rose into the air, leaving huge pits in their original place.

An anti-artillery hole collapsed with a "boom", and the flesh and soil of the five officers and soldiers inside fused together, and the casualties of the Chinese defenders rapidly expanded.

Hidden in the woods, on the position of the Chinese defender's artillery camp, Lao Hei stared at the red eyes and roared: "Little devil! If you have the guts, come down and fight with Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing that the eight 92 fighter-bombers had dropped all the aerial bombs and began to hover in the air, Shibata nodded to the captain of a large group that had been on call for a long time.

"Kill and give!" Amid the howl of the captain, more than 600 officers and men of three infantry squadrons rushed towards the beach with bayonets and Type 38 rifles shining in the sun.

A machine gun squadron of twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns followed, and eight Type 95 light tanks of the 5th Squadron of Reading Light Tanks slowly drove in, accompanied by a Type 98 armored ammunition delivery vehicle.

"Quick! Rush over! "Don't stop! At the urging of officers at all levels, more than 600 soldiers of the Yue Army formed a battle formation and slowly rushed towards the dead Chinese position, and the officers and men carrying 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns behind them had also pulled up.

Eight Type 95 light tanks of the 5th Squadron of Reading Light Tanks lined up on the banks of the beach stream, with their muzzles pointed at the opposite bank, providing direct fire support at any time.

In the smoke of gunpowder, a pile of dirt in the first trench moved.

"Phew!" The only surviving observation post emerged from the mound, spitting out mouthfuls of mud and sand, and inhaled hard, the pungent air filled with gunsmoke and blood woke up the soldiers, whose explosions still echoed in their ears.

Looking up at the machine hovering in mid-air, the soldier cautiously poked his head out of the trench and looked at the other side.

More than 600 officers and men of the 63rd Wing of the Chinese Army had advanced 200 meters in front of the Chinese defenders' positions, but there was still no movement in the trenches in front.

Of course, the battlefield commander of the army did not think that the combined ground-air artillery fire just now had wiped out all the Chinese defenders, and ordered the 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron to be deployed on both flanks.

The nervous observation whistle hooked his finger, "Bang! "The first shot of the offensive and defensive battle of Tanxi was fired, and the whistling bullets pierced into the icy ground a few meters in front of the front line of the army.

"The little devil is attacking! Hurry up and get on the edge! The battalion elder of the 1st Battalion roared loudly, and he was the first to rush out of the anti-artillery hole, and the more than 400 officers and men who had survived the joint artillery bombardment of the Japanese army from the ground and the ground rushed to their positions from their respective anti-artillery holes one after another.

The eight 92 fighter-bombers, which had been hovering over the positions of the Chinese defenders, swooped down one after another to the lively ground with a strange scream, like hungry sharks smelling blood.

The first plane swooped down along the first trench, and under the fire of four large-caliber aviation machine guns at full speed, four three-meter-long chains of fire swept along the first trench.

In the "whoosh" of hundreds of large-caliber machine gun bullets, blood rain and mud and dust rose in the trench at the same time, several officers and soldiers who were in motion screamed and fell, and the human body looked so fragile in the face of 12.7 mm aviation machine gun bullets, and the officers and men who were shot were all torn into several pieces without exception, and blood, flesh, and internal organs flew everywhere in the trench.

Immediately after that, the second, third, and eighth 92 fighter-bombers dived down to the ground one after another. Fortunately, the trench was a serpentine trench built in accordance with Gao Fei's requirements, and the turn of several meters provided effective cover for the officers and soldiers in the trench. In this way, more than 20 officers and men of the first battalion fell under the first round of strafing fire.

"Brethren, don't stop!" A second lieutenant roared angrily, ignoring the barrage of bullets that had strafed past his body, and pounced on the position several meters away.

Under the influence of the second lieutenant, the officers and soldiers who were hidden on the walls of the trenches roared and jumped, and one after another turned into lumps of flesh and blood in the barrage of roaring barrage. The living officers and soldiers did not have the slightest fear, and stubbornly rushed to their positions in the blood of their comrades.

After the first shots were fired at the Chinese defenders' positions, the commander of the battlefield issued an order for a surprise attack: "Kill and cut!" ”

Six hundred officers and men lined up in four straggler lines and rushed like waves to the first trench of the Chinese defenders' position.

Eight 92 fighter-bombers were still firing recklessly in the sky above, and screams rang out from time to time in the trenches. The officers and men of the first battalion who rushed to the position were clinging to the wall of the trench, no one moved, and the weapons in their hands were held more tightly.

When the front line of the Chinese defenders was still 100 meters away, the plane stopped strafing, and the leader plane shook its wings twice before rushing into the air.

The distance of the machine made the lock post that held the sweat for the 1st battalion breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said excitedly to Gao Fei, who was observing the battlefield with a telescope: "Brother Fei, please ask the artillery battalion to fire!" No closer to the position! ”

"No way!" Gao Fei also raised his head to reject the suggestion of the lock pillar.

Suozhu was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face changed rapidly from confusion and incomprehension.

Gao Fei, who knew what the lock pillar was thinking, put down the binoculars, calmly looked at the lock post with an iron face, and said softly: "The lock pillar, it's not time yet, the purpose of this battle is to completely annihilate this group of devils!" ”

The body trembled violently, and the lock pillar looked at Fei Ge in front of him in shock, the current strength of the Chinese defenders in Taierzhuang is already very weak, and Fei Ge actually wants to annihilate the enemy! At this time, the lock column eyes were full of suspicion.

Gao Fei smiled faintly, anyone who heard this would react like a lock pillar.

The sudden sound of gunfire attracted the attention of the pillar who had not yet recovered from the shock.

Eighty meters away, the officers and men lying on the edge of the trench could already clearly see the hideous faces of the Japanese army and the cold light of the bayonets on their guns.

Lao Hei, who had accurate marksmanship, pulled the trigger, and the rifle shook, and a 7.92 mm swept over the distance of 80 meters in a fraction of a second, and a second was pointed at a second where a second lieutenant of the army was pointed, and a puff of blood mist appeared on his head at the same time as the gun rang out, and the huge kinetic energy carried by the bullet penetrated his forehead in an instant, and the stalled bullet was twisted in the skull, and the delicate brain stem suddenly turned into a mess of juice.

The second lieutenant of the Yue Army, who lost consciousness without pain, threw his head up, and fell to the ground without snorting, his round eyes full of unwillingness, and a mixture of red and white splattered from the blood hole in his forehead.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and all kinds of weapons in the hands of more than 400 officers and men of the 1st battalion of the Chinese defenders on standby were fired at the same time, and the dense bullets rolled over like a wall of fire towards the more than 600 officers and men who had not yet fired.

During the two rounds of firing, more than 50 officers and men who screamed screamed fell to the ground without firing a single shot, and only a few officers and men howled in pain in the pool of blood, and the rest turned into convulsive corpses.

At the same time, the roaring Maxim heavy machine gun and Czech light machine gun formed a huge scythe of death with thousands of bullets per second.

In a few seconds, a large piece of the army's charging procession was strung alive, and there were more than 100 corpses of officers and soldiers on the ground, and blood rushed to gush out, so much that the ground had no time to absorb it, and dozens of blood streams flowed to a depression, and finally formed a pool of blood of several square meters.

The officers and men who had suffered huge losses lay on the spot beside the corpses of their comrades and launched a sharp counterattack.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun position, which had been waiting for a long time, was the first to open heavy fire, and the counterattack of the 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns was aimed at the heavy machine gun position of the 1st battalion of the Chinese defenders spitting flames.

More than half of the heavy machine gunners fell on the thick pile of bullet casings before they could scream, and the yellow bullet casings were covered with a layer of dazzling crimson, forming a strange visual effect.

The brief disappearance of half of the heavy firepower of the Chinese defenders made the riflemen of the army take a breather from the heavy blow, and put the 38 rifle on the corpse of their comrade, and the riflemen of the army fired accurate 6.5 mm bullets into the trenches of the first battalion of the Chinese defenders.

In a muffled snort, a dozen Chinese officers and soldiers who shot with only half of their heads exposed lowered their heads, and the blood flowed along the ground like a small snake.

The crooked machine gunners, who accompanied the infantry forward, covered the 28 Czech light machine guns of the 1st battalion of the Chinese defenders with a furious rain of bullets: "Be careful! A quick-to-react veteran roared and dragged a Czech light machine gun down the trench, a string of 6.5 mm crooked machine gun bullets screaming overhead.

In the midst of the screams, the second-in-command who was a step slower to react fell to the trench on his back, blood gushing out of several bullet holes in his chest, and he used all his strength to hand the magazine in his hand to the veteran

The tearful veteran took the bloody magazine and loaded it into the magazine, and set up the Czech light machine gun with a roar of anger in the anguished groans of the co-shooter, "Da da da! In the midst of this, a rain of angry bullets smashed a crooked machine gunner who was firing wildly into a sieve.
