readx; The officers and men, who didn't know what was going on, looked at the bloodstained second lieutenant in bewilderment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lieutenant, whose mood gradually stabilized, sobbed and said to Ma Wang, who was looking at him with confused eyes, "I am Shao Xuanshu, the secretary of the third battalion and the second company!" ”

Ma Wang's heart, who knew the identity of this officer, sank, thinking of his performance just now, "Could it be", and the words of Shao Xuanshu confirmed Ma Wang's thoughts.

It turned out that in the shelling just now, the second and third battalions had lost more than half of them, and when the positions were completely destroyed, they could not get instructions from the regimental headquarters, and the two battalion commanders spontaneously led the remnants of the troops to reinforce them.

The second lieutenant's words made the trenches fall silent all of a sudden, and they could fully imagine the tragic death scene of corpses strewn across the positions of the second and third battalions.

Ma Wang, who was silent for a while, couldn't help but ask, "Then what about your defense line?" "You know, the responsibility for breaking away from the line of defense without permission is huge.

This question was also asked by the commander of the first battalion to the commanders of the second and third battalions.

With a miserable smile, the second battalion commander explained sadly: "The trenches are all gone, and that's all there is to it, if the position of your first battalion is broken through to the little devils, we will have no chance to fight with the devils!" ”

The commander of the third battalion also said, "As long as we can block a round of attacks by the devils, reinforcements should also come up!" ”

With a long sigh, the battalion commander pointed to the opposite side where there was no movement: "The little devil doesn't know what the hell he is doing?" ”

"Report to the brigade commander, the smoke pipe is ready!" The voice of the commander of the position of the 6th Artillery Brigade came from the microphone, and Tsukita Roshiro looked at a scholar-like Shaozo with an inquiring gaze.

"Brigade commander, the current climatic conditions are fully suitable!" This young man from the 11th Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department gave Tsukita Raoshiro the answer he wanted.

"Let's get started!" Kei Seya's cold voice sounded again.

With an order, 20,000 chimneys arranged on the forward positions of the Japanese army fired smoke screens at the same time, and clouds of black smoke rose into the air, forming a wall of fog up to 5 kilometers wide in midair.

Since the wind direction at this time was northerly, this huge black fog wall slowly drifted down the wind to the south bank of Taierzhuang.

"The little devil is attacking!" "Listen to the order to shoot!" With the orders of officers at all levels, the highly nervous soldiers pointed their guns at the Taierzhuang River, which was about to be engulfed in black smoke.

Ma Wang, who gave the battle order, noticed that Shao Xuanshu was unscrewing the caps of a box of grenades one by one, and said fiercely as he twisted them, "Brothers, I will let the little devil come down and wait for you as a cow and a horse!" ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ma Wang focused his attention on the black mist that was drifting closer and closer, listening carefully with both ears, clenching the formal rifle, his hands were full of cold sweat.

No one noticed that there was a faint shade of yellow and brown mixed in this huge wall of black fog!

The huge black fog wall slowly but firmly overflowed the Taierzhuang River, and slowly the entire position of the 186th Regiment was shrouded in black fog.

With their eyes wide open and their ears as straight as rabbits, more than 1,000 officers and men of the 186th Regiment focused their attention on the Taierzhuang River.

Suddenly, almost everyone's throat began to itch, there was a feeling of coughing, and their eyes began to ache, and many officers and soldiers began to cry involuntarily.

It was not until it became more and more difficult to breathe that the officers and men vaguely felt that there seemed to be something else in the smoke floating in the air, and a strong uneasiness spread over the position!

What the hell is going on with this fog?

Ma Wang, who had a bad feeling, couldn't help but cough and the feeling of suffocating more and more strongly finally made him understand what was going on, and he used all his strength to yell, "Poisonous! ”

It was too late, and when the first cough sounded in the black fog, the coughs came and went on the battlefield!

More and more officers and soldiers were coughing and desperately opening their mouths to take in more air, only to find that the air seemed to have disappeared!

One or two more and more officers and men collapsed in the trenches and began to roll in pain.

His lungs were about to explode, Ma Wang, who was getting more and more difficult to breathe, grabbed his neck in pain, really wanted to cut his trachea, his brain began to pause due to lack of oxygen, and his eyes gradually closed.

With the last of his strength, Ma Wang rolled hard, and his entire face was immersed in the muddy water that had not yet had time to drain in the trench. The feeling of suffocation was relieved by the irritation of the cold muddy water, and the overjoyed Ma Wang hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from his military uniform, wet it in the muddy water, and covered his face, and a wisp of fresh air poured into his chest that was about to explode.

Ma Wang, who found this method effective, signaled the soldiers who could still move to learn from him, so the life-and-death race between the speed of poison gas killing and the speed of the spread of home-made gas masks unfolded on the battlefield, and every second there were officers and soldiers who died of suffocation due to poison gas, and there were also officers and soldiers who died because of home-made gas masks.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the breakthrough brigade of the 63rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army put on gas masks and began to attack!

When the breakthrough brigade began to attack, the entire Chinese officers and men in the forward position of the 186th Regiment and the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 151st Regiment had not recovered from the killing and wounding of the poison gas.

The flares continued to shine brightly over the defensive positions of the 186th Regiment, and in the fading black fog, nearly a thousand officers and men wearing gas masks were like ghosts from hell.

On the positions of the companies as bright as day, the surviving officers and soldiers sat in the trenches and were desperately gasping, and the corpses with bruised faces lay all over the trenches.

"The devil has attacked!"

"Quick, get ready for battle!"

Several officers who were holding on to observe the front line roared at the same time, and in the midst of a rush of chaos, the soldiers with blank expressions got up and set up their weapons.

The officers and men blinked their red and swollen eyes and began to aim, but they could not aim at the figures that were getting closer and closer, and the guns, which had not felt the weight of the guns, were as heavy as an iron rod at this time. As a result, the muzzles of more than 500 black holes kept shaking.

The captain of the breakthrough brigade of the army, Morita Ryo Tai Shaozuo, followed the team with great ambition, and under the destruction of the artillery bombardment and poisonous gas, it was impossible for anyone to survive on the position of the defenders of Shina in front of him.

The thought that he was going to be the first commander to break through the Shina position in this battle lifted his spirits.

"Aim!" Ma Wang whispered to Shao Xuanshu, who was waving the muzzle of a gun next to him.

"Company commander, I can't see the little devil clearly!" Shao Xuanshu screamed anxiously.

"Company commander, me too!" "Me too!" A crying voice rang out from the company's position.

Ma Wang, who was cold in his heart, turned his head and looked at the rear, the reinforcements had not come up yet, and the other companies would not be much better than the first company!

"Brothers, fight with the devil!" Mawang squeezed up the Czech light machine gun without a shooter, and there was no trace of timidity on his resolute face.

At 80 meters, 70 meters, and 60 meters, the Chinese defenders' positions were still deadly silent, and the more than 900 officers and men who had bowed their heads and clenched their guns and were ready to shoot at any time slowed down, straightened up, and lowered their guns.

The remaining officers all found that the soldier's eyesight had been damaged by poison gas, and the helpless officers were forced to choose to fight at close range.

Fifty meters, the officers and soldiers were completely relaxed, and there was no formation at all, and when Ryota Morita was about to symbolize the surname of the order officers and soldiers to pay attention to vigilance, a sudden change occurred!

The last remnants of the 186th Regiment, led by Crown Five, marched at the pace of a rapid march through the slaughtering positions.

The shattered corpses, twisted-shaped guns, bloody human stumps, choking gunpowder smoke and the smell of blood made the faces of all officers and soldiers pale and terrifying, and the iron-faced crown five sped up his speed again.

When the sparse smoke spreads over, Crown Five, who has experienced the poison gas war, immediately notices something strange in the air.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the poison gas had already thinned, and Wang Guanwu took the correct measures, so that none of the more than 300 officers and soldiers were injured.

Wang Guanwu, who wrapped his mouth and nose in a damp cloth, was completely desperate, and it was impossible for the officers and men on the forward positions to survive the double attack of the devastating artillery and poison gas.

The advancing team found the bodies of Lieutenant Colonel Deng Mingyuan, deputy commander of the 186th Regiment, and 91 officers and men of the guard company huddled in a ball on a rubble.

With a bruised face, his round eyes still retained the despair and anger of the moment before he was suffocated, Wang Guanwu stared at this subordinate who had been fighting with him for many years, and the tears that had been suppressed for a long time flowed down.

The officers and soldiers silently surrounded the trembling crown five, their sad eyes full of fear and despair.

"Enter? Or retreat? Wang Guanwu looked at the position hundreds of meters away that was illuminated like daylight by flares and hesitated, the devil's ground attack had already begun, and it was impossible to block a round of devil's attack with this little force around him!

With the password set, Gao Fei's heavy firepower unit of the Reading Force Regiment finally arrived at the Taierzhuang position.

In a position without defenders, two mortars and eight 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns were concealed in the dark.

After giving a brief admonition to Wang Chongxian, commander of the artillery company, and Ma Debiran, commander of the 2nd Battalion, Gao Fei led more than 300 officers and soldiers and 20 snipers to the front line at full speed. He knew that there were still several companies of officers and soldiers holding the 186th regiment's warning position

"Hit!" Ma Wang roared as the unsuspecting army approached fifty meters, and the crooked machine gun in his hand spewed out scorching flames, and then the other eight Czech light machine guns in the company also shouted with joy.

Eight chains of fire swept towards the scattered formation of the army, and the upright army became a live target, only to see the blood splashed on the front line of the breakthrough brigade, and the officers and soldiers fell one by one with a miserable cry.

And dozens of formal rifles rang out with crisp gunshots, and there were more than a dozen twitching corpses on the ground.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the companies on the other positions joined in the ranks of reaping the lives of the soldiers in the roar of their respective officers. The two Maci machine guns of the first battalion were like two scythes in the hands of the Grim Reaper, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the army was like an autumn wheat that fell.

Unexpectedly, the breakthrough brigade of the defenders in the position was taken by surprise, and after more than ten seconds of fire raid, nearly 100 officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Ryota Morita, who reacted quickly, fell to the ground the moment the gun rang out, watching his soldiers dance the dance of death in the fire.

"Kill and give!" Annoyed and angry, Ryota Morita brandished his command knife, and in his howl, the officers and soldiers lying on the ground began to fight back with the 83 rifles and crooked machine guns in their hands. The machine-gun squadrons and grenadier canisters in the rear also quickly deployed.

At a close distance of 50 meters, the accuracy of the army's shooting was very astonishing, and one by one, the officers and men who shot with their heads slightly more exposed were all shot and fell down without exception.

Ma Wang pressed Shao Xuanshu, who was shooting indiscriminately with his head raised: "Don't die?" ”

Dropping the light machine gun that emptied all the magazines, he stretched out his hand to snatch the formal rifle in his hand, pulled the bolt, and with a little aiming, he knocked a crooked machine gun that was raining bullets madly towards the position.

"What are you stunned about? Help me get on the bullets! Ma Wang, who was hiding from the devil and had another crooked machine gun to retaliate against fire, yelled at Shao Xuanshu, who was shocked by his marksmanship.

After saying that, he carefully showed his head, and firmly lassoed the crosshair of a military archer, "whoosh" The bullet whistling over his head did not make Ma Wang's eyes blink, and with a slight hook of his index finger, the 7.92 mm bullet that came out of his disembowel swept a distance of dozens of meters in a matter of 0.00 seconds, and pounced fiercely on its prey.

The light machine gun shooter who was firing fiercely only heard a loud bang from the steel helmet, and then the intense pain that came made him involuntarily let out a scream of ultra-high decibels, and he leaned his head on the handle of the light machine gun, and the red and white mixture of red and white in front of the steel helmet rushed out.

As soon as the co-shooter pushed away his companion who was still twitching, grabbed the sticky handle of the gun and fired wildly.

The eyesight of most of the officers and men was damaged by the poison gas, and they quickly fell behind in the close range of fire with the Yue army, and if it were not for the fire support provided by the more than 20 Czech light machine guns and two Mark heavy machine guns, the Yue army would have broken through long ago.

The machine gunners scattered in several positions fired with all their might, regardless of the danger, and an incalculable rain of bullets fell towards the officers and men lying on the ground.

The riflemen, who were desperately suppressed by the impenetrable defenders' machine guns, could not raise their heads to shoot accurately, so they had to put their heads on the ground and shoot roughly, which greatly reduced their lethality.

In the dark, the flames from the muzzles of the machine guns became an indicator for the machine gunners, and the 36 crooked light machine guns of the breakthrough brigade were suppressed and counter-suppressed, except for six riflemen who used to suppress the defenders.

The machine gunners who desperately tried to suppress the opponent endured the rain of locust-like bullets, and more than forty tongues of fire in the air pounced on the opponent's tongues of fire without hesitation.

A sergeant who hooked his fingers to the heavy machine gun and did not let go of the bullet gun roared with his mouth wide open, the muscles of his whole body crumbled due to the powerful vibration of the heavy machine gun, and the yellow bullet casings rained down on the bullet casings piled up over the instep, and the two young soldiers kept linking the bullets to it.

Suddenly, the sergeant shuddered, and the roar of the heavy machine gun disappeared.

"Squad leader, what's wrong with you?" A soldier looked at the sergeant with a strange expression on his face.

Taking a long breath, the sergeant squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Boy, aren't you arguing all day long to be the main shooter?" Coughing, he forcibly endured the liquid that gushed into his throat, and said to the soldier who looked at him puzzled: "Come, let you be the main shooter today!" ”

"Really?" The soldier was so excited that he almost jumped.

Moving out of position with difficulty, the sergeant motioned for the soldiers to come up and shoot!

Under the envious gaze of another soldier, the young soldier stood in the position of the main shooter, and none of them noticed that the sergeant, leaning on the ammunition box under the roar of the heavy machine gun, gradually closed his eyes after spitting out a large cloud of blood, and the clothes on his chest were soaked with the blood that was constantly pouring out of his body.

Ma Wang took the magazine handed over by Shao Xuanshu, his light machine gun was the only one in the 186th Regiment who did not participate in the machine gun duel.

Ma Wang, who kept shifting positions and draining at most one magazine in the same place, took on the heavy responsibility of suppressing the riflemen of the Yue Army.

"Da Da Da!" An accurate burst of fire smashed a soldier with his head raised into a blood gourd, and without a pause, Mawang dragged the Czech light machine gun downward, and the moment he slid down the trench, a long line of crooked sub-machine gun bullets swept past where he was firing.

"The fifth devil!" Shao Xuanshu shouted, looking at Ma Wang, who was panting heavily, his eyes were full of respect.

After a few breaths, Ma Wang, who had adjusted his breathing, said softly, "Let's go!" ", carrying a Czech light machine gun, rushed to another firing position.

"Yaga! Shoot fast! Seeing that Morita Ryota had no advantage in the shooting, the Type 92 heavy machine gun group and grenadier group that were still erected by Morita Ryota kept urging.

Eight 92 heavy machine guns roared first, and eight fire whips swept fiercely towards the Chinese positions, focusing on the light and heavy machine gun positions that were guarding Lianlian.

The rain of bullets made all the light and heavy machine guns of the 186th Regiment stagnate, and the five machine gunners who were shooting desperately did not snort and all fell crookedly on the position, and the five sub-shooters did not hesitate to pull the butts of the guns stained red with blood, and the five light machine guns roared again.

With the addition of eight heavy machine guns, the army gradually gained the upper hand in this machine gun duel, and one after another machine gun shooters on the 186th regiment position fell in a pool of blood, and the deputy shooter and ammunition man silently took the machine gun that had been emitting green smoke and continued to fire until they were finished by the bullets that came at them.

The 27 grenadier canisters that were finally assembled also "clanged, clanged" and covered the Type 97 grenades towards the Chinese position at a top speed of 30 minutes per shot!

Although the explosive power of the Type 97 grenade was limited, nearly 600 grenades exploded on the ground of the 186th regiment in one minute, and the damage caused to the defenders was also huge.

In the continuous explosions, the light and heavy machine gun positions of the defenders who were bombarded with key bombardments screamed again and again, dozens of officers and men rose into the air in the light of the fire, and a bloody rain fell in the sky, and human body fragments and internal organs fell like raindrops.

The machine-gun fire was all extinguished in an instant, and Ryota Morita's wolf howl sounded again, "Kill it!" The more than 400 riflemen of the breakthrough brigade screamed and rushed forward with their bayonet 38 rifles as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, trying to break through to the defenders' positions in one fell swoop.

"Grenades!" The commander of a battalion staggered out of the pile of corpses, and he personally commanded a Makmi heavy machine gun, and he luckily survived the explosion just now.

The other officers gave the same order, and more than 300 grenades were smashed into the striking formation.

"Boom!" In the explosions that followed, one by one the officers and men were pierced into blood-spraying gourds by sharp shrapnel, and the red-eyed officers and men did not care at all about the shrapnel flying in the sky, nor did they look at their comrades who were struggling in a pool of blood, and rushed straight up with their heads down.

"Da Da Da!" A sudden chain of fire swept across the front line of the army, and in the screams, the formation of the army was stagnant.

"Quick, magazine!" Shao Xuanshu, who became an ammunition man, hurriedly handed the magazines one by one to Ma Wang, who was like a killer.

Angry and frustrated, Ryota Morita ignored the officers and soldiers who had rushed to ten meters in front of the trench and ordered the grenadiers to shoot immediately.

Dark clouds of grenades whizzed into the positions where the gunfire was most intense, and the explosion of a cluster grenade was no less than that of a large-caliber grenade. In the skyrocketing explosion, the tyrannical shock wave destroyed everything around the center of the explosion, and the battalion commander and more than a dozen soldiers directly turned into piles of blood and scattered around the trenches.

Ma Wang and Shao Xuanshu, who saw the opportunity quickly, crawled out of the explosion area with a roll

Under the cluster bombardment of the grenadiers, the officers and men of the 186th Regiment were quickly killed and wounded, and seeing that the Japanese army was about to break through to the position, a fierce rain of bullets came from the rear, and one by one the officers and men of the Japanese army fell five meters in front of the trench with a mournful wail!

The last troops of the 186th Regiment led by Wang Guanwu finally arrived at the most critical moment of the position!

More than 30 officers who rushed to the forefront lined up, the Czech light machine guns in their hands were firing wildly, and more than 30 tongues of fire formed a dense barrage, and the yellow crowd was forced back like a wave.

The sudden fierce firepower did not make the Yue army retreat much, and the follow-up officers and soldiers lay down on the spot and fought back fiercely!

The soldiers of the two countries fired frantically at each other more than 50 meters apart, countless dark red bullet marks pierced the night, nearly 100 corpses gushing blood fell horizontally on the forward position of the trenches, several wounded soldiers of the army covered the intestines flowing from the abdomen cut by shrapnel and wailed loudly, in this bullet-ridden line of fire, no one could help them, and there was only a tragic ending waiting for them:

Die!

Seeing that the soldiers were about to break through the trenches, Ryota Morita was so angry that he ordered a machine gun squadron to block and shoot at the newly rushed Chinese reinforcements.

Eight 92 heavy machine guns spewed flames, like eight efficient harvesters, frantically harvesting blood and life.

"Brethren, don't stop!" More than 300 officers and men rushed to the trench in the rain of bullets under the roar of Wang Guanwu, and in a series of screams, one officer after another fell on the charging route.

A young soldier shuddered, his bloody body crashing down in a scream, struggling to turn over and crawl towards the nearby trench, leaving behind him a blood belt several meters long.

No one noticed that this fragile creature was fighting against death! Gradually, the bloody fingers of the sand and stone hung down weakly, and the young soldier stared helplessly as his companions rushed past him one by one, and one by one they threw themselves into the trench that represented life.

In a violent cough, a large mouthful of blood clots gushed out, with a desire for life, the young eyes slowly closed, and two lines of blood and tears quietly fell!
