Chapter 278: The Army and the People Are United

readx; The roaring explosion from behind told the remaining 138 officers and men of the four companies in the first trench that the brethren in the back did not give up on them!

"Tell the brethren that now we can only rely on ourselves! Pass the word on!" The only company commander alive was lying on the corpse wall, shooting with a submachine gun and yelling at the soldiers next to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Knowing that the officers and soldiers at the last moment no longer have any superfluous thoughts, no matter how afraid of death are, at this time there is only one last crazy thought left, to kill a few devils before killing them!

Without backup, the first trench broke out with more powerful combat effectiveness, and all the officers and soldiers who could still shoot were shooting at full speed! The dense rain of bullets was so happy that among the more than 300 devils who attacked in the cluster, they harvested fresh lives one by one!

The red-eyed devil did not lie down to counterattack, and under the cover of the grenadiers, he shot and attacked to the death. One after another, 50 grenades exploded inside and outside the corpse wall, and officers and soldiers became part of the corpse wall in the crimson fireball.

The first trench, which lost all its heavy firepower, could no longer stop the onslaught of the devils who were not afraid of death! The devil rushed to the edge of the trench with more than a hundred lives!

Before entering the position, the battalion commander knew that the loss of the first trench would yell at the company commander who shook the entire Taierzhuang, "Those who can breathe will pick up their guns, follow Lao Tzu, and press down the devil!" ”

More than 60 Chinese soldiers rushed out of the trenches and roared under the leadership of the company commander to launch a counterattack on nearly 200 devils! The whole earth trembled because of their roar.

In the telescopes of the commanders of both sides, a brutal battle was staged!

The soldiers on both sides slammed into each other! Dodge, block, and assassinateAfter each action is done, someone will fall because of it, either by themselves or by the enemy.

The sound of beastly gasps, angry roars, the seeping "flutter" sound of bayonets piercing into the body, and the screams of dying are intertwined on the battlefield, playing the song of death!

Originally, I was secretly happy that the Chinese soldiers took the initiative to fight for bayonets, but they found that this group of Chinese soldiers actually used the life-for-life fighting method!

When these more than 60 officers and soldiers jumped out of the trenches, they knew that they had no way out, and they had only one purpose, that is, to drag the devils and buy time for the brothers who were struggling to fight the trenches behind!

The combat effectiveness of a soldier with a will to die is amazing!

Officers and soldiers with injuries and mobility problems did not avoid the bayonets stabbed by the devils at all, and while their bodies were pierced, the bayonets in their hands also pierced into the devil's chest with the devil's frightened expression; Some soldiers were surrounded by several devils, and at the same time as several bayonets used to pierce their bodies, they pulled the grenades on their waists, and a fireball rose into the air amid the screams of the devils!

The company commander had already stabbed two enemies in a row. His tough performance was besieged by three devils!

The lieutenant's feet were weak, and a devil seized the opportunity to scream, and a stab pierced his stomach, and the bloody intestines flowed out of the scream!

The lieutenant rolled on the ground and wailed, and instead of stabbing him to death immediately, the three devils surrounded him, stabbing him with bayonets left and right, stabbing bloody holes in his body!

In the triumphant smirk of the three devils, something unexpected happened!

The lieutenant, who had only a little consciousness, vaguely spotted a pair of yellow military boots in a patch of blood, and in the midst of another fierce pain on his back, he exerted his best strength to grab the pair of military boots and force them. With an exclamation, a devil fell to the ground.

The lieutenant gritted his teeth and rolled over, and his bloody eyes were greeted by a frightened face!

"Giggles!" The lieutenant laughed wildly, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the neck of the devil who was too frightened to move!

"Whew!" A non-human howl rang out on the battlefield! The other two devils, who didn't react for a while, stared blankly at the bloody Chinese captain in front of them, biting the neck of their companion who kept twitching like a demon from hell, and blood gushed out like a spring!

Strongly stimulated, the two devils howled, desperately picked up the 38 rifle and stabbed the two people who were tightly entangled on the ground.

In the sound of "poof", the two officers and soldiers who were still fighting for life and death just now hugged each other and swallowed their last breath!

One by one, the officers and men of both sides fell on the battlefield strewn with corpses, and by virtue of their numerical superiority, more than 100 devils launched an assault on the last 30 or so Chinese soldiers, and at the foot of the mountain, another squadron of more than 150 devils was rushing at full speed!

The tragic hand-to-hand combat between the two sides has been going on for almost ten minutes, and the engineer platoon still has more than ten meters of collapsed traffic trenches blasted!

Braving the rain of shrapnel above his head, he personally commanded the sapper platoon blasting work, and Yu Zhenhai couldn't stop urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The tragic white-knuckle battle in front of the first trench has reached the last moment, and more than 20 bloody Chinese soldiers are still making the last resistance, and more than 20 devils have pounced into the trenches, and the devils behind are also approaching!

"It's too late! Brothers, rush with me! The commander of the reinforcement company in the communication trench rushed out with a roar, and the officers and soldiers behind rushed out of the trench without the slightest hesitation!

"Come back soon!" Yu Zhenhai stared at his blood-red eyes and tried his best to stop the impact of the soldiers' suicide surname, but he was still one step too late! The more than 50 officers and men who broke out of the communication trench did not have the slightest chance to break out of the artillery coverage area of the devils! In the dense explosion, the officers and soldiers who were completely exposed to the battlefield dissolved into a cloud of blood mist in the crimson fireball!

Looking at the dozen officers and soldiers in the encirclement of more than 30 devils, Yu Zhenhai gave the order to the communication soldiers behind him with a blue face, "Send a signal!" ”

The hesitant signal soldier cried bitterly under Yu Zhenhai's painful but resolute gaze and raised the signal gun in his hand, and in the crisp sound of gunfire, a blood-red signal flare rose into the air!

All the heavy firepower of the three battalions, which had been waiting for a long time, roared angrily, and the powerful firepower network composed of more than ten light and heavy machine guns rolled towards the first trench in a blind fire according to the shooting elements that had been set up long ago!

Raining down of 7.62mm bullets whizzed and screamed at the soldiers on both sides!

Everyone immediately realized what the whistling sound of bullets and shells tearing through the air meant! But none of the red-eyed soldiers were willing to fall to the ground, because they knew very well that even the slightest hesitation at this time would cost them their lives! And so the battle continued in the sky full of ammunition, shrapnel and stumps flying all around!

At this time, the only thing that can end this white-knuckle battle is the soldier's body pierced by the opponent's bayonet or terminated by bullets and shells! One minute, two minutes, only two minutes of fire suppression, there was no life left inside and outside the first trench! Under the strong firepower, the second group of devils wisely chose to retreat under the leadership of the squadron leader.

"Yaga! The people of China are all dead and dead! Seeing this sudden scene, Furong Zhenping couldn't help but scold.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" Qingkou Jueyuan asked in despair.

"What to do? Does this need to be asked? Order the artillery units, open fire! Fukuei Zhenping no longer disregarded his image and yelled angrily.

"Hello!" Qingkou Jueyuan hurriedly picked up the radio and called the artillery group for fire coverage.

After receiving the order, the well-trained Yueben artillery unit quickly began to retaliate against the bombardment, and the 34 mountain artillery and infantry guns of the two clusters concentrated their fire to carry out a full-coverage artillery bombardment of the Taierzhuang position. The three heavy machine gun crews that couldn't retreat and their guns turned into piles of fragments in the brilliant fireball!

The night that came as scheduled gave the 186th regiment, which had lost more than half of its size, a respite.

In the fierce battle in the afternoon, 5 of the 9 infantry companies of the 186th regimental battalion were invested, of which 4 were killed, and 1 was only a dozen seriously wounded. The casualties were so heavy that the crown five almost did not dare to face it.

In the huge 186th Regiment Headquarters, only Wang Guanwu and Chief of Staff Sheng Fuyuan were smoking a smoky cigarette.

Sheng Fuyuan took a hard puff of cigarette, threw most of the cigarette on the ground, and crushed it with his foot again, "Tuanzao, where are your reinforcements?" Where exactly are the reinforcements? ”

"I don't know." Crown Five shook his head.

"Ask Commander Gao for reinforcements!"

"Commander-in-Chief Gao?" Crown Five smiled bitterly.

Impossible, impossible, the situation there is even more serious than here now

"It's fucking cold!" A cold wind blew, and Pi Chengsan, who was lying behind the stone pile eighty meters from the first trench in front of him, shivered. The third squad of the guard platoon he led was assigned by the battalion commander to be on guard duty tonight, and two and a half hours earlier he had come with five soldiers to replace the brothers who had been lurking in the middle of the night.

Around three o'clock in the morning is the most tired moment of the human body, Pi Chengsan, who was nervous for half a day during the day, slept for more than three hours in the first half of the night, and he was half asleep and half awake at this time. The eyes closed one moment, then opened suddenly, and soon closed slowly. Although the brain wants to sober up as much as possible, but the heart is thinking about sleeping for a while, anyway, there are other brothers on guard, and there is one three meters next to him!

In fact, the other outposts were like Pi Chengsan, curled up behind the pile of rocks and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, the attack plan was successful, and Kiyoguchi Kakumoto formulated another night attack plan, and Fukuei Zhenpei agreed to implement it after thinking twice, but ordered Kiyoguchi Kakumoto, who led the sneak attack, to withdraw immediately if the Shina defenders found out, and no strong attack was allowed! After all, in terms of night battles, judging from the current situation, the Yue army does not have an advantage!

It is estimated that the defenders of China will arrange Qingkou Jueyuan, who is out of the lurking post, to attack at the moment when people are most sleepy!

The advance squad composed of five squad leaders with outstanding individual skills served as the elimination of possible Shina lurking posts, and behind them was a commando team of more than 100 people led by Qingkou Jueyuan, and another brigade of the Yue army was on standby, as long as the assault team succeeded, the Yue army would launch a comprehensive assault on the position of the Taierzhuang Zhi Na people!

The dark night, with only a glimmer of moonlight, provided the most powerful environment for the devils, and the advanced detachment experienced in the battlefield crouched into the area a hundred meters from the first trench. Suppose the squad you want to lurk discovers three sleepy outposts of the defending army of Shina in the selected locations.

The three lurking posts were cleanly dealt with with with the dagger, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger!

The devil team that continued to advance stopped three meters in front of a large pile of rubble, and the devils who led the team made a gesture of splitting their heads and striking together, and the five devils crawled silently towards the stone pile!

Accurately climbed to the last two lurking posts of the three regiments, and the reason why the devils were so precise was very simple, because they heard snoring from behind the stone pile!

The two devils took out their snowy daggers with their right hands, and covered the Chinese lurking sentry with their left hands!

Pi Chengsan, who was still a little conscious, opened his eyes the moment his mouth was covered by force, and a dagger with a cold light was getting closer and closer in his pupils, and before he could react, his throat was cold, and then he heard the sound of his own blood spurting from the broken mouth, and the soft strength of his whole body seemed to be flowing rapidly with the blood!

In a daze, the blood-dripping dagger fell again, and in these few tenths of a second, Pi Chengsan thought that he had to warn the brothers in the trenches! He knew that the devil could touch this, which meant that the brothers in front of him were finished!

I opened my mouth hard, but I couldn't make a sound! Tears flowed silently down her snow-white cheeks, not afraid, but regretful that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities!

The sharp dagger pierced the thick military uniform, and at the moment when it sank into his heart, Pi Chengsan felt the thin string in the unconscious movement of his right hand!

In the severe pain after the chest was cold, Pi Chengsan concentrated all his strength on his right finger and gently pulled it, and swallowed his last breath with his head tilted!

Looking at the sinister smile on the face of the soldier who was stabbed to death by himself, the devil scolded in a low voice, "Baga! Just as he was about to turn around and send a signal to the commandos behind him, he faintly heard a faint "sizzle" sound, and the smell of gunpowder also came into his nose.

The frightened devil hurriedly followed the sound and saw that a grenade was emitting white smoke from the waist of the soldier!

"No!" In the frightened voice of the devil, the grenade exploded.

The Taierzhuang position, which was originally as silent as death, suddenly became lively!

The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who had been awakened from their slumber, under the command of officers at all ranks, rushed to the firelight with all kinds of firepower. At night, Taierzhuang is like a monster with tongues of fire, and countless long and short tongues of fire block every inch of space on the hillside!

When the grenade exploded, Kiyoguchi realized that his plan had once again failed. This time, he didn't fall in love with the battle, and before the fire of the Taierzhuang position started, he led the assault team to retreat down the hill with rolling and climbing

The next day, that is, on March 30, the eastern sky had just been overshadowed, and the Chinese defenders had not yet eaten breakfast, and the artillery group of the Yue army began to bombard the positions of Taierzhuang and Qing'anling! Today, the rate of fire of the devils is a bit strange, and at intervals of two minutes, a wave of seventeen grenades is dumped on the positions of the Chinese defenders!

The officers and men of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions lay in the trenches to avoid the shells falling from the sky, and the brutal bloody battle made these officers and soldiers grow up quickly, and none of the officers and soldiers were afraid of the endless bombardment, and even the explosion that was close at hand made the soldiers on the side hug their heads tightly to prevent being injured by all kinds of debris falling like raindrops in the sky!

Just when the officers and soldiers were cursing the devil artillery, the devil's group roared and joined the bombardment!

The main position of Taierzhuang, which has always maintained vigilance, and the machine gun position of the difficulty, six machine gun horses launched interception and shooting, and a tight wall of fire was formed in front of the six fire tongue devil groups!

Six Type 92 fighter-bombers quickly rose up and broke away from the Chinese defenders' anti-air firepower network, while the six Type 97 land attack planes continued to break through the gaps in the fire network with their powerful low-altitude breakthrough capabilities!

The one-to-one ratio decided the fate of the Chinese machine gun position, and one by one the machine guns fell down in the midst of the flesh and blood, and all the shooters supported the battle to the last moment in the rain of bullets.

When the last machine gun stopped roaring, there were no more officers and soldiers in the three machine gun positions who could stand! The entire machine-gun position was sprinkled with the stumps, pieces of meat, internal organs, and gun parts of more than fifty commanders, shooters, co-shooters, and ammunition men, and several blood-colored streams bubbled down the cracks between the stones! The machine gun shooters used their own sacrifices to shoot down and wound a Type 97 land attack!

Without the threat of ground firepower, the eight enemy planes wreaked havoc in Taierzhuang for nearly half an hour, dropping all the bombs and all the aviation machine gun bullets before returning to the base!

For a whole morning, the infantry of the Yue army seemed to have evaporated, and they never launched an attack! It's just that with endless shells, they ravaged the Chinese defenders' positions in Taierzhuang, which were already in disarray, over and over again!

Looking at the Chinese position shrouded in a huge cloud of gunpowder smoke from the binoculars, the army headquarters let out a wolf-like howl!

After the failure of the night attack last night, Fukuei Zhenpei, who was embarrassed and angry, tried his best to win air support from the headquarters, preparing to completely destroy the positions of the defenders of Central China with half a day of high-intensity air-ground combined artillery fire!

"You have to get the food up!" The captain of the support team, which was organized by all the people of Taierzhuang, shouted loudly.

The food delivery team of more than 30 people braved the artillery fire of the Japanese army and struggled to advance in the smoke of gunpowder, and with the flash of the explosion, some people continued to fall, and the surviving officers and soldiers in the trenches who saw this scene shouted with tears in their eyes!

The artillery front observation point of the Yue army seemed to have noticed a change in the position of the Chinese defenders, and the artillery fire of the blockade of the Yue army became more intense, and the broken body of a citizen flew into the sky in a crimson fireball, and the rice balls in the bag he carried were sprinkled like blood flowers in the sky.

Twenty-one civilians plunged into the ruins of the second trench, and the civilians gasped and untied half of their sacks. An elderly man said to the captain who was holding a bloodstained cloth bag and choked: "Let the brothers eat quickly!" After saying that, he was about to rush to the ground where the artillery fire was more intense.

"Fellow, don't go up again!" The captain grabbed him tightly, and tears could no longer be controlled!

Smiling miserably, the fellow said sadly but very firmly: "The order you received is to hold your position, and the order I received is that you must send the food!" ”

Looking at the resolute look on the face of the fellow, the captain slowly let go of his hand.

Nodding at the captain in thanks, the fellow yelled, "It's a man, let's go!" "With twenty civilians, he once again rushed to the first trench without hesitation.

The artillery fire of the devils blocking the first and second trenches was even denser, and the sharp shrapnel swept every inch of space on the battlefield in the continuous explosions! Twenty-one civilians took advantage of the dense craters to leap forward in the intermittent artillery fire of the devils.

The phrase "safe in a crater on the battlefield" is not absolute, and it is entirely possible to hit the same crater a second or even multiple times during continuous bombardment! A 105mm grenade screamed and fell into a crater, and in the flash of fireballs, a civilian hiding in this crater had only time to scream before it turned into a rain of blood!

Not a single soldier hid in the relative safety of the crater, and perhaps they didn't think of flinching the moment they burst out of the trenches!

One after another ordinary people fell on the way to the charge, but the people who are still alive are still moving forward firmly! They used their blood and lives to interpret a truth:

The War of Resistance is not just fought by soldiers!

In the end, only nine civilians arrived at the first trench, and the wrinkled old man gasped and felt out a rice ball and handed it to the lieutenant who pulled him into the trench, "Sir! Eat it, it's a little cold! ”

Immediately, the old man's head fell crookedly in the trench and there was no movement, and the lieutenant realized that the rice ball in his hand was covered with blood! Untying the blood-soaked cloth bag on the old man's back, the officers and soldiers found that a sharp piece of shrapnel had penetrated deep into the old man's body, and every rice ball in the cloth bag was covered with his blood!

Swallowing the cold rice balls with tears, none of the officers and soldiers complained, and all the officers and soldiers knew what a terrible price their brothers had paid for these rice balls

Disgusted, the artillery battalion directly under the 31st Division, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly launched a fire raid on the artillery positions of the Japanese army!

Wang Yishui, the commander of the artillery battalion, who had been watching the infantry brothers bear the bombardment of the devil's artillery with their flesh and blood, finally received the order to fire, and Chi Fengcheng's hoarse voice came from the phone, "The target is the artillery position, fire immediately!" Before Wang Yishui, who was excited, could answer, the voice of the phone became solemn, "Do your best to destroy the artillery of the Yue Army!" ”

Wang Yishui, who knew what this meant, yelled at the microphone, "Division commander, the brothers of the artillery battalion have been waiting for this moment for a long time!" With that, he threw down the microphone and rushed out of the headquarters.

The officers and soldiers who had been guarding the gun position quickly moved into action amid Wang Yishui's roar, and the ammunition man stuffed the shiny 75 mm grenade into the mountain gun, "Ready, release!" "I have long aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the twelve 75mm mountain guns of the army alert artillery group, and at the same time spewed angry flames!

Twelve meteors flashed through Furong Zhenping's telescope, and before he could react, the artillery position behind him exploded!

Fu Rong Zhenping, who turned around suddenly, watched twelve scorching crimson fireballs rise from the position of the alert artillery group, the four 92 infantry gun positions were completely destroyed, the tattered corpses of the gunners flew in the air, the hundreds of kilogram infantry guns were lifted out several meters away like toys, and the dense shrapnel formed by the detonated grenades continued to create screams and blood mist in other gun positions!

"The devil's artillery reacted very quickly!" Wang Yishui muttered.

As soon as the first round of bombs exploded, the twelve grenades of the artillery battalion screamed and pounced on the devil's alert artillery group!
