The lock pillar and Chang Qingyun immediately saw a fierce bullet clearly, and flew head-on, so they were very alert to the ground, and the movement of the cannonball was as fast as theirs, and there was a loud bang, and they felt that the embankment was shaking greatly. The cannonball landed less than 30 meters away, and the flames and mud rose violently from the dry rice fields, stirring up several feet high.

The two knew that the difficulty was over, but they still stood up.

However, with this bomb, in front of and behind this section of the embankment, the bullets fell one after another, and the flames of the fire reflected the clear sky, and the shadows of the embankment and trees here could be illuminated from time to time.

The two felt that they could not expose the target here, and at the same time walked into the headquarters of the battalion under the embankment, and the deputy battalion commander had already answered the telephone and was talking to the commander of the fifth company in front. Chang Qingyun hurriedly stepped forward, took the telephone and said: "The fortifications are destroyed, it doesn't matter, move the machine gun behind the fortifications, steady, and calm down." ”

As he said this, he was already on the telephone when he heard the sound of a fluttering machine gun. He put down a stone in his heart for a while, and felt that the front of the stronghold of the Fifth Company had pressed the enemy down again.

But the phone rang, and a report came. Chang Qingyun answered the telephone and heard the company commander Wang Wei say: "Report to the battalion commander, the enemy bombarded our position with seven or eight guns, and the fortifications were completely destroyed. The first class of brothers in the preparatory class I led also suffered more than half of the casualties. The squad leader, Zhu Kexiu, was killed in a charge just now. I repay the country for dying here, and report to the battalion commander that I have been hit by two bullets, and I and several brothers will die here, and we will never come down. ”

The battalion commander shouted: "Good brother, it doesn't matter, I'll come, you have stabilized your position." How do you say now? ”

The answer on the other end of the phone was: "Now"

There were only those two words, and the phone didn't ring. The battalion commander squatted on the ground, took the ear microphone, and fed it a few times, but there was still no reply, he snapped the telephone microphone, put it on the telephone fork, looked back at the herald standing next to him and said: "Tell the first squad leader of the fourth company, assemble, and go all the way with me." ”

In this sheltered underground headquarters, two red earthen candles with poles were planted on the ground. The red-yellow candlelight, flickering, shone on Chang Qingyun's face red.

Seeing his country-like face, he was sweating with excitement, and the candlelight reflected each other. He stood up suddenly, and said to the lock pillar: "Battalion commander, please and the deputy battalion commander are here, and I will personally go up and take back the stronghold of Fotouling." ”

Suozhuben sat on the ground, also stood up, faced him and said, "You better send the company commander." ”

Chang Qingyun replied loudly: "No, I'll go personally!" As he spoke, he stroked the grenade hanging from his chest, scooped up the rifle that was beside him, and hurried away.

Out of the command post, the sky above the embankment, although it was getting darker and darker. But on the side of Tokuyama City in the southeast corner, the cannonball hit the market house, and the flames burned fiercely, rushing into the sky incessantly, and there was already a red light, which could be faintly seen in the pastoral trees here.

This faced the northern position, and the flames flickered on the horizon with the sound of gunfire and cannons. And the Western Dagu Village Front is also like this. Only due south of Wuhan is silent in the reflection of red light. In these three firelight arrays, the rumbling and crackling sound from far and near makes people feel in an indescribable emotion, and he has such a stimulating thought, saying that he is too deceitful, and they think that the squadron has no heavy weapons, so they can hit him wherever they like. You don't even have to fight, just use these cannon sounds and sparks to intimidate the Chinese soldiers.

26th Division, not such a person, let you see how powerful we are.

Thinking so in his heart, it seemed that there was a group of soldiers standing in front of him, and he said confidently. Keep your chest up. But he only had two or three minutes of contemplation, and he immediately came to his senses, and when he turned around, he saw Squad Leader Wang and a group of brothers standing on the grass under the causeway waiting for orders.

Chang Qingyun walked over, and the distant firelight came down from the black clouds in the sky, and he saw the brothers standing there, and their spirits were excited. Then he said to him: "Before leaving, I have a few words to tell you, this devil, regardless of the heavy casualties, advances in a wave-like team. During the day, our 3rd Artillery Battalion, with great might, helped us with mountain artillery, and eliminated many of them, but they never rushed over. At night, it was difficult for the artillerymen to find this dense number of devils. The division commander had instructed us a good way, and we just had to let him hug him up to a distance of thirty or forty meters, and we threw him with a grenade. First, we should cover ourselves up so that the enemy will not find out, so that we can wait for him to rush over.

Second, the grenade must be thrown accurately, and it must be thrown in their pile, and it is not allowed to throw the grenade at a distance of 50 meters.

Thirdly, the first wave of the enemy was defeated by us, and the second wave will follow. We didn't care about him, we showed a fearless spirit and rushed forward immediately. The first wave of the enemy knocked the grenades unconscious, and as soon as we rushed up, they would collapse. Their second wave, without our hands, will make the first wave of collapse impulsive. When they moved, we immediately pursued them with machine guns, and it was not difficult to get back the lost Fotouling at once. This kind of surprise attack is a glorious mission, so I personally came to take you to complete it, and it's over. ”

After saying that, he raised his hand, took his rifle, and walked forward. The squad leader led a squad of soldiers and followed closely behind. Here is a stone road to Fotou Ridge, passing through several low embankments.

The enemy also has the possibility of ambushing the troops in order to build on the low embankments, and his mountain artillery and mortars are next to these causeways, but they just continue to shoot. On the road of Changqingyun's advance, cannonballs kept falling. It was clear that behind these shells were the dense forces of the Benbo offensive. Because of this, Chang Qingyun couldn't care about these shells, and brought the troops, but under the net of bullets, he drilled forward, estimating that the shells were flying over his head, so he didn't pay attention to them.

Seeing that the shell might fall nearby, he immediately fell into the ground. The shell hit the ground and exploded, the dust and shrapnel had been thrown away, and he continued walking. Fortunately, he was always the first one, and he fell down, and so did the brethren; He goes, and so do the brethren.

When the enemy blocked the road with shells like that, they would not have thought that there was a squadron [***] behind them. The infantry who followed them only wanted to occupy the position of the [***] squadron in the front front, so they also advanced across the causeway and the dry rice fields in the wavy formation of the day.

Chang Qingyun first ran up a low embankment, and looked at the pile of high ground in Fotouling, which was less than a thousand yards away, and the firelight everywhere, and the purple clouds in the sky, had faintly shone on the pedestrians of the dry rice fields in front of him, and a group of black shadows were creeping forward. He immediately bowed down, raised his hand back and beckoned twice, and the whole class arrived, and immediately scattered and fell prostrate on the causeway, and behind the group of figures, less than two hundred yards, another group followed.

The team in front of them, seeing that there was a cross-embankment in front of them, was a little wary, and paused for two or three minutes without moving. They were clearly observing the reality here, maybe they found some shadow on the embankment, or maybe they deliberately put two shots to see the reaction here, and snapped two bullets at the embankment. But there was no reaction on the embankment, as if there was no one here at all.

When they fired their guns, it was in the left corner of the first group of black shadows, and there must have been a few other people there, and this group of black shadows was also under a high field, how to move here, they could immediately hide under the shooting corner of the field, it was very safe.

Camp Commander Chang smiled secretly in his heart, don't I know this point? Ignoring you, he still lurked quietly with his eyes open, looking at the two groups of black shadows in front and behind. Because the group of black shadows behind them had slowly moved forward, and they did not allow the group in front to move, they had already concluded that there was no one on this embankment, one hundred and fifty yards, one hundred yards, eighty yards and quickly rushed to the front, and Chang Qingyun gritted his teeth and waited, not letting any of them slip through the net, until they advanced to the vicinity of thirty yards.

Even people's hands and feet can be seen. He suddenly stood up, pulled out the safety of the grenade that had been pinched in his hand for a long time, and threw it into the crowd if it was right. scolded in his mouth: "Turtle son, this time you have fallen into our way." ”

With the sound of these words, sparks and fireworks erupted in front of him. This grenade exploded, followed by five or six grenades in the past, this sudden assault, the enemy really panicked, did not blow up, turned around and ran backwards.

The group of enemies who followed behind saw the grenade explode in front of them, and they steadied themselves and did not move forward. The light machine gun brought here had already been erected in the left corner of the embankment, and it was immediately aimed at the wave-like team in front of it, and fired a fierce fire.

Sure enough, as the battalion commander expected, they retreated in too much confusion, and the group of figures who followed behind them were also crushed, and fled all the way back. The battalion commander saw that Fotouling was in front of him, and the group of people he was guarding there were personally led by the company commander, and the news was faint, so he had to see it clearly. So he greeted a squad leader who was lurking beside him and said:

"Order the brothers and me to go all the way, and we will take Fotouling back immediately." When the order was finished, he rose and went forward first, and the whole class of brethren was very excited when they saw that the enemy had collapsed and they had nothing to lose, and each took up his arms and rushed forward in the enemy's path.

It just so happened that there were only three waves of enemies in this group, the first team was destroyed, the second team was crushed by the first team, and the third team saw that the first two teams were in disarray, and of course they could not hold their ground.

As a result, they retreated backwards and retreated to the Kuroki Bridge, the large stronghold that came from the front.

Chang Qingyun saw that although the enemy retreated, he also chased after him, and chased to Fotouling, and saw that the original fortification had been completely destroyed by artillery fire, and the brothers except for Chengren, six or seven of them slept on the ground, but the rest were missing, and the fortifications that were originally built here were on a high ground, and in order to reduce the shooting obstacles, the trees in front of them had been cut down.

The defenders, in the skirmishes and shelters, overlooked the current plain, quite clearly. Chang Qingyun first found the company command post, which was already a pile of soil, maybe the company commander and a few brothers were still in this soil, standing here by himself, and he unconsciously gave a military salute in awe.

But the enemy had not retreated very far, and there was no time to spare, so he immediately issued an order, ordering the squad leader to take the light machine gun and place it behind the ruined fortifications, and make a machine gun mount, and instruct the brothers, and distribute them in the scattered trenches that still had some forms!
