readx; Wang Zhanjiao comforted everyone: "If you win the battle, you won't die!" ”

According to his explanation, the Yue army was exhausted and would definitely not be able to block five waves of attacks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If the first and second waves of our army resolutely resist and do not retreat after approaching the position, the third wave will be able to stand firm, and when the fourth wave arrives, the battle will be won - he also said that this is the French Napoleonic style of play, and there is absolutely no problem.

Wang Zhanjiao said that in ancient times, Sun Wuzi Wu Gong trained soldiers, and women could still go into battle to kill the enemy, not to mention us men. Everyone should be loyal to the country, put death and come back to life, and declared: "In battle, if any of my brothers finds me retreating from the battle, he can kill me without breaking the law; Conversely, if any of you flinch, he will be shot in the same way, and will not be forgiven."

Then, Wang Zhanjiao called all the troops in front of everyone and agreed to launch an attack before dawn the next day. He demanded that after the battle began, the regiments that coordinated the attack would first carry out a feint to cover the assault of the 209th Regiment and be the third wave of the 209th Regiment. Wang Zhanchan himself was in this wave of commandos. When they rushed into the enemy's position, they fired three red flares, and the other regiments immediately switched to the main attack and conquered Motiangang in one fell swoop.

When the officers had a meeting, Cai Yuanfei also sat and listened. He felt that after Chen Muren's accurate calculations and Wang Zhanjiao's scientific arrangement, there was no problem in winning this battle, and he was very down-to-earth.

After the meeting ended, Cai Xinbing was arranged to go to You Qingyu's company.

Coming out of the regiment headquarters, Company Commander You began to complain: "Oh, oops, what are you doing here?" Seeing the flamethrower on Cai Yuanfei's shoulder again, he was even more distressed: "Oops, how do you carry this thing on your back!" ”

"What's wrong? It's a new weapon. ”

"The weapon is new, but unfortunately the range is short, and you can't fire until you have to fight the enemy. You say, how can I protect you? ”

"Who wants your protection?" Cai Yuanfei was a little impatient, "I can fight myself, you can just send me an assistant." When he arrived at the company, Company Commander You arranged for a veteran to help the Pyro carry gasoline cans, and repeatedly advised: "Rest well tonight and conserve your strength." You must follow me when you charge tomorrow, and you must not run around! ”

It was late at night, and the people around him had fallen asleep, but Cai Yuanfei couldn't sleep. He wondered if he would die tomorrow. What does it feel like to die? I closed my eyes and thought about it for a long time, thinking about it as if someone else was dead, and I couldn't figure out the situation of my own death, so I tossed for a while, and simply got up to check the weapons and equipment.

The assistant next to him noticed him fiddling with a flamethrower in the dark, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, review it", Cai Yuanfei explained that he has a habit of being nervous about the exam, and the things he originally learned were forgotten as soon as he arrived at the examination room, and it took a long time to remember. Tomorrow is the first time he will go to the battlefield, just like entering the examination room, and he will familiarize himself with the weapon again before going into battle. Hearing this, the assistant also hurried over to help him review his homework. It's true, if you fail the exam, you will be beaten at most, and if you break your life in this war, you will be reimbursed, which cannot but attract great attention.

Cai Yuanfei's assistant is named "Luo Yangan" and is a veteran. He participated in the Battle of Wuhan, was captured by the Yue army in the battle of Tianjia Town, and was captured by the strong man after running back to his hometown, and then became a soldier.

"Luo Cigarette Stick" actually doesn't smoke, it's just because he used to be an apprentice in a cigarette workshop, specializing in making smoking guns, so he got such a nickname. After being in the army for a long time, this guy has also become a soldier and will come to trouble, and he found that Cai Yuanfei's style is different from others, so he is extremely attentive to him, and he accompanies the recruits to talk with him.

Thinking about the war, Cai Yuanfei asked Luo Yanzhu: "When the army charges, what position is the casualty relatively small?" ”

"If you are too far forward, you will be shot, and if you are too far back, you will be bombarded. The side location is more comfortable. ”

This is not quite the same as the calculation formula of the head of Chen Muren? Cai Yuanfei's heart was a little drumming, and then he asked: "You say, how about the devil fighting?" ”

"Overbearing. It's fierce. ”

"What's the murder method? Aren't you afraid of death? ”

"It's not a question of being afraid of death or not being afraid of death," Luo Yangan replied, "If you want to say it, we are not afraid of death even if we are in a hurry, but we are still different from them." When the soldiers started fighting, they had a feeling that they had already died, like ghosts and beasts, and not like people anyway. Fighting them is like fighting zombies, and even if you win, you're scared."

Cai Yuanfei's hair straightened when he said this. Before this, he had never seen him alive or dead, and of course he couldn't imagine what a zombie-like devil looked like.

At 6 a.m. on April 2, 1940, the front line of Lianhuashan was still shrouded in night.

Before dawn, the artillery units of the 2nd Army began to carry out artillery bombardment on the Japanese army. At the same time, the positions of the 207th Regiment, the 3rd Rong Regiment and the 91st Division also resounded with fierce gunfire, and the covering troops used dense fire to suppress Motiangang and distract the enemy.

On Konishi Mountain, the flashes of explosions were connected.

After a long time, when the artillery fire stopped, the sky was already dark. As far as the eye could see, the army position was filled with gunsmoke and silence, and the enemy did not return fire.

"First team, forward!"

"Second team, forward!" The sound of the officers' orders came from the morning mist.

Cai Yuanfei jumped out of the trench with his comrades-in-arms and walked forward step by step, thinking to himself: "It's time to start a war, is this the beginning?" ”

Twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters

The positions of the army in front were still as silent as death.

"God knows, are there any living soldiers up there?"

In Cai Yuanfei's memory, on the morning of April 2, 1940, the sky dawned very quickly.

When the shelling began, it was pitch black, and by the time the shelling had subsided, it was getting brighter. The soldiers jumped out of the trenches and into the faint morning mist. Soon, Xiaoxi Mountain appeared clearly in front of people's eyes.

Xiaoxi Mountain, it is the commanding heights and barrier of the Tiangang, and behind it is the Huangjiapuzijing, where is the last nest of the Lotus Mountain army.

In the past, it was overgrown with pine trees, walnut trees, and chestnut fruits, but later these trees were cut down by the devils to repair the fortifications. Now the hillside is bare, and in the morning light, you can only see plowing the earth under artillery fire wafting out puffs of smoke. From a distance, the enemy's positions were silent, and there was no sign of human activity.

Cai Yuanfei thought to himself: "Is there still a living soldier on the top of the mountain?" If so, they must be looking at me, their guns must be aimed at me" Thinking of this, he puffed out his chest vigorously, trying to squeeze a smile out of his face, and made a somewhat proud and heroic expression.

In fact, no one paid attention to Cai Xinbing's demeanor, and everyone was walking forward silently.

According to Wang Zhanjiao's plan, the assault force was divided into five waves, and each assault team was lined up in four horizontal columns, separated by 30 meters from each other. Imagine that the offensive formation should roll forward in an orderly manner like layers of waves. But in reality this was not the case, the starting positions of the five assault groups were far and near, and the terrain in front of the positions was also different, and the soldiers had to climb cliffs and steep slopes on the way, and after walking for a while, the formation was chaotic, and the various units were mixed together. I don't know if the officers can still know in their hearts, anyway, Cai Yuanfei can't figure out how many waves his position belongs to.

The muddy roads are very difficult to navigate. It had rained just now, and the red soil was moistened by the rain into a glue, sticky and slippery, and it bit the soldiers' shoes for a while, and then it was so slippery that they couldn't stand, making everyone stumble and struggle. Cai Yuanfei was overwhelmed by the steel cans on his shoulders. Before that, he had learned to wield a flamethrower, but he had never marched in full gear, and now he was a little overwhelmed by the heavy loads and the steep slopes he climbed. The most annoying thing is that the two jars on his back are not the same weight, so his center of gravity is always tilted to one side, and he almost falls several times.

Company commander You Qingyu always looked at Cai Yuanfei with concern. He commanded, "Roo, take the Pyro's stuff!" ”

Company Commander You had a strip of white cloth tied around his arm, which was the symbol of the "leading officer" and the "demonstration soldier", and if he couldn't figure out what to do during the battle, he would just follow the "white cloth strip" and just follow them. Speaking of which, being an official is really comfortable, carrying a pistol in one hand and a military stick as a crutch in the other, looking relaxed. This is just the opposite of when I was a child, but at that time, Cai Yuanfei ran in front empty-handed, and You followed behind with a schoolbag. Hearing the company commander's order, Luo Yandao stretched out his hand to help, but Cai Yuanfei pushed him away. How can there be a reason to charge in a war and let others carry weapons? Cai Yuanfei didn't want to make it so special the first time he went into battle.

At this time, the smoke of gunpowder on the position dissipated, and the army still did not move.

The enemy did not shoot, and the atmosphere became even more depressing. The attackers walked slowly, and no one spoke. Everyone knew that the enemy would open fire sooner or later, and everyone was silently waiting for the first shots to be fired, guessing whether they would be the first to fall.

Finally, the gun went off.

Just as a man walking in a torrential rain suddenly heard a thunderclap, all the warriors shrugged their shoulders and quickened their pace. The officers shouted: "Spread out, don't retreat!" "Run, don't stop!"

"Ahead, hurry up! Above! on"

Cai Yuanfei is also running hard.

You Qingyu pulled him in front from time to time, and comforted him: "Come with me, don't be afraid, it's okay." This made Fourth Young Master Cai very unhappy, and he said angrily: "Get out of the way!" I'm not afraid, go to you, don't bother me! "The captain was beaten by the recruits, which made the company commander very embarrassed.

However, Cai Yuanfei was really not afraid at this time, because he had not yet reacted to the situation on the battlefield at this time. Although there were people falling down in front of them, because of the distance, I saw them sleeping on the ground with their bodies tilted, as if they had broken their feet, as if they could get up and continue to move forward after a while, so it was not terrifying.

However, after a few minutes, everything was different.

Climbing over the steep hill and climbing up the hill, the corpse of the victim suddenly appeared in front of Cai Yuanfei - blood! That's a lot of blood! The red earth after the rain was covered with dark red blood.

Cai Yuanfei never thought that so much blood could gush out of a person's body. The mud was very sticky, and the blood that could not penetrate the soil flowed down the hillside and accumulated around the deceased, as if it could make people float.

What's even more terrifying is that, in addition to the soldiers who have just died in battle, there are many earlier dead lying on the hillside. The corpses were already decomposed, and they were swept over again by the shock wave of the cannonballs, and the gray, mutilated ** emitted a pungent stench on the damp earth.

I saw terrible blood, smelled the stench of choking corpses, and heard the terrible sound of gunfire in my ears. Bullets flew overhead, "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-" chirping, grazing past the side, "hissing-hissing" whistling, as if there were countless devils frantically chasing and roaring beside them, making people tremble. Suddenly, the terrifying suffocation tightly grabbed Cai Yuanfei's heart. At this moment, he knew what it was like to die, he couldn't speak, he couldn't take a step, his calves cramped, his whole body trembled, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, he was afraid.

You Qingyu and Luo Yanzhu pulled one in front and the other pushed in the back, pulling Cai Yuanfei into the crater.

Company Commander You still said: "Follow me, don't be afraid." ”

"What are you kidding? How can you not be afraid? Cai Yuanfei thought to himself.

All around were dead and dying, and people were shot and fell to the ground, the dead were silent, and the wounded were crying loudly. But the officers ignored the wails of the wounded, and just gave an urgent order: "Go! Hurry up! Cai Yuanfei saw that Wang Zhanjiao and the head of Chen Muren had also climbed up from the bottom of the steep slope, urging the soldiers to continue to advance.

So I had to move forward in terror.

The most terrifying thing is not seeing the location of the enemy - seeing the people around you keep dying, but not knowing where the person who fired the shot is, it feels like encountering a ghost.

Cai Yuanfei asked: "Where is the devil hiding?" ”

"They're in the tunnel, you can't see it here, you can see it when you get closer," You Qingyu replied.

Closer? It is almost 200 meters away from the position of the army, and how many people will be killed if you go any further? Cai Yuanfei remembered that the range of the flamethrower was only forty meters, and he couldn't help but secretly complain, he felt that he must die before he could wait for a firefight with the devil.

Luo Yanzhu said: "Brother Cai, you take a break, I'll carry something." ”

The Pyro didn't object this time, and he obediently asked his assistant to take over his equipment.

Cai Yuanfei walked a little swaying with his empty body, and he couldn't help but admire Luo Yanjia when he saw Luo Yanjia walking like flying with three steel cans on his back.

Further on, there were more craters, more and more dead bodies, and the enemy's bullets became more and more dense, and the attacking team could only jump, dodge, and zigzag. Cai Yuanfei followed You Qingyu closely, he had no brains at this time, the company commander shouted to lie down, and the company commander shouted to run quickly, just rushed a long way, but it was safe and sound.

Running and running, there was a bomb crater in front of him, and the commander of the company pointed his hand and said, "Quick, get there!" Cai Yuanfei immediately threw his legs and ran wildly and jumped into the crater.

There was some standing water in the crater, which was nothing; It doesn't matter if there's a body in the crater. The scary thing is that when Cai Yuanfei jumped into the crater, he accidentally hit the corpse. What's even more terrifying is that when he crashes into the corpse - the dead man screams!

"Ah" Cai Yuanfei was stunned.

In an instant, he lost his sense of hearing, his vision lost his sense of distance, and the people and scenery in front of him became a flat surface like a photograph. Then he lost consciousness

By the time he came to his senses, the man was still in the crater, and the body had already been removed. Luo sat on the gasoline can, looking at him with a smile. According to Luo Yan's explanation, Cai Yuanfei didn't actually pass out, but just let out an earth-shattering scream, and then opened his eyes in a daze, no matter how others shook, he didn't react. Company Commander You said that Cai Xinbing was scared and lost his soul, so he sent Luo Cigarette Stick here to wait for his soul to come back, and he went to the front to charge and fight.

The soul is back, but the face is gone. Cai Yuanfei felt very embarrassed, struggled to stand up and wanted to continue to set off. Luo Yanzhu told him to rest for a while, and said that it was the order of the company commander. You Qingyu confessed that if something went wrong with Cai Xinbing, he would have to find trouble with Luo Veteran.

At this time, the enemy's artillery rang out. The explosion splashed muddy water, and even set off a burst of corpse stench, Cai Yuanfei couldn't help but vomit when he smelled the smell -- the area around this crater was exactly where the 209th Regiment attacked its position a few days ago and was counterattacked, so there were a lot of abandoned corpses -- after calming down, Cai Yuanfei also understood the reason for the "dead man's scream" just now. It was due to the fact that after the corpse [***], a large amount of gas accumulated in the abdominal cavity and chest cavity, and when he jumped into the crater, he hit the stomach of the deceased, and the gas in the body was squeezed into the throat, so he made a sharp "scream".

Although I understand this truth, I still can't help but feel disgusted.

This corpse reminded Cai Yuanfei of one thing. Yesterday, when he was at the regiment headquarters, the adjutant asked Cai Yuanfei to go to the medical team to get an injection, and he said that there were too many corpses on the battlefield, which was easy to cause plague, so he prepared medicines and asked all the personnel who went to the front line to get vaccinated. Cai Yuanfei was interested in observing the combat meeting at the time, but he forgot about it. Only now did he feel a little nervous, he was next to so many rotting corpses, and he wondered if he would be infected with the plague?

But when I thought about it, "It's a little too funny to have shells blowing overhead, bullets flying in your ears, and worrying about whether you're going to get an infectious disease in a crater surrounded by bullets." ”

Thinking of this, Cai Yuanfei couldn't help laughing again. Seeing Cai Xinbing laughing while vomiting, Luo Yanzhu felt very inexplicable. The veteran complained that the army on the battlefield originally had more than a dozen cannons, but after a month of fighting, only two remained. But these two guns are somehow hidden, and it is really strange that the 2nd Army bombarded with hundreds of guns, but could not destroy it no matter what

After spitting for a while, the sound of the artillery suddenly stopped, and the gunfire became sparse. Cai Yuanfei felt that his mind was clear, and his heart was much more comfortable, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to war!" ”
