Listening to the roar behind the temporary camp of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment staying in the buffer zone couldn't help but be a little speechless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info It seems that the previous few mortar * shells have annoyed these little devils.

If the situation is not right, then evacuate immediately!

As the Japanese infantry artillery squadron opened fire first, the shells hit the buffer zone aimlessly. The scouts who slipped down from the blocking positions also took their weapons and returned to their positions under the falling artillery fire.

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion who stayed at the blocking position also looked at the artillery fire under the mountain, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "These stinky boys, they are really easy to bully when they are little devils." You know, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites! Let's get away with it! ”

Zhu Xinwen, who had been staying beside him, said with a little worry: "Battalion Commander Liu, isn't there something wrong with our comrades?" ”

'Rest assured! Unless they are not very lucky, this kind of scattered shelling will not pose much of a threat to them. It's just that if they do this, we will also prepare for battle. It is estimated that the little devil is about to start attacking. ’

In fact, with the main force of the 116th Division stationed in Zhengzhou City, the mission of blocking positions outside the city has ended. It's just that it took so much effort to build this blocking position, and it is naturally impossible not to use it.

For this reason, whether the Japanese army attacked in advance or postponed the attack, in fact, it was inevitable to have a fight with the little devils. Fortunately, during the day, the officers and men on the position rested well, and they did not suffer any losses in night battles.

In contrast, the little devil who has not been given enough rest has to fight continuously at night, and he will undoubtedly suffer a lot in terms of physical strength and spirit. This is also the reason why the reconnaissance battalion will send out a raid team after nightfall.

As the reconnaissance battalion commander had expected, an artillery counterattack was launched with the infantry artillery squadron. Looking at the Eighth Route Army running wildly under the light of the fire, the Japanese soldiers on duty also knew that those guys who were shooting cold guns had finally withdrawn.

Just this shelling, the Japanese soldiers who had just rested for a long time also ran out of the temporary camp. This feeling of being woken up in a hurry just before being ready to rest made many soldiers feel a little irritable.

It's a pity that not many people pay attention to the mood of these soldiers. Sakai, who convened the brigade commander for a meeting, also gave the order to attack ahead of time. This also means that the previous rest order has been cancelled.

Hearing Sakai's order, the commander of an infantry wing who came to reinforce said in a timely manner: "General, our wing has not yet rested, and if we continue to fight now, will it seem too anxious?" ”

'Your wing is the reserve of the headquarters, and the task of attacking is left to the infantry of our brigade and regiment. But then, I'm afraid I won't have time for you to rest. For the sake of camp security, the perimeter guard task is entrusted to you.

Yasuda Daisa, I know that your wing has worked hard this way, but you also saw the previous situation, those damn Eighth Route Army, they didn't let us have a good rest at all. So, we can only attack in advance.

At worst, we must drive them back into the city. Only in this way can we rest and recuperate with peace of mind. Most importantly, the current situation on the battlefield does not allow us to waste time. The main force of the Eighth Road may arrive in Zhengzhou at any time! ’

It was clear that the wing commander sent by this division for reinforcements did not actually belong to his infantry brigade. For the reinforcements sent by this kind of division, Sakai naturally has to give the other party a little face. But as a commander, his authority cannot be challenged!

'Hey! I understand! ’

Seeing that Sakai had already talked about this, Yasuda Daisa didn't say much. In fact, Yasuda also knew about the intention of sending him over, and it was somewhat overseer.

At the moment, Sakai asked him to bring a wing, acting as a reserve force, and only responsible for the security of the camp. This also means that the next main attack on the opponent's blocking position will be the responsibility of the brigade troops under Sakai's command.

With the issuance of combat orders one after another, the temporary camp of the Japanese army, which had been quiet, soon became lively. The scouts, who had been staying nearby, soon knew that the Japanese were about to attack.

The Japanese artillery camp, which was heavily defended, soon became the offensive vanguard of the infantry brigade and took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment of the blocking positions. As the first wave of artillery fire hit, the officers and men on the positions quickly withdrew into the nearest anti-artillery pit.

Listening to the sound of explosions outside the pit, many officers and men of the Third Garrison Regiment also truly understood what the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion said during the day. The shelling during the day was nothing more than a tentative shelling by little devils, and it was not a real shelling at all.

And the deafening sound of repeated explosions at this moment also made the officers and men of these garrison regiments who had just passed through the battlefield understand to some extent how terrible the artillery fire on the battlefield was. Even if they stayed in the tunnel, they still felt that they couldn't tremble.

On the other hand, those experienced veterans said very calmly: "Okay, this kind of artillery fire of the little devil will be a hilarious." Our fortifications are very strong, their shells cannot penetrate them, and you are safe.

If you are all scared now, when the shelling of the little devils is over, we will go out and hold our ground. That's when the real chapter comes in. Recruits, let me tell you a word, the more afraid you are of death on the battlefield, the easier it is to die.

You have to learn to be calm and learn to forget your fears. Only if you calm down and hold on to your weapons will you have any hope of survival. When you go to the battlefield, don't be afraid, the more you are afraid, the more panicked and chaotic you are, the easier it is to die, understand? ”

'Well, got it! Thank you, big brother! ’

The recruit, who was more polite, nodded gratefully, signaling that he understood. But they could still feel that their bodies were still shaking, and the palms of the guns were sweating. This kind of actual combat is not something that anyone can adapt to by nature.

During the war years, when recruits turned into veterans, they had to go through the trials of blood and gunpowder. Only after experiencing the test of blood and fire, these immature recruits will truly understand the cruelty of the battlefield and truly transform into veterans with actual combat experience.

The frenzied shelling, which lasted for nearly half an hour, made many soldiers who stayed in the tunnel feel as if they had lost their ears. From the ears of the soldiers, it seemed that nothing could be heard except the buzzing sound.

At this time, there was a rapid whistle outside the tunnel, and those veterans who had been resting with their eyes closed turned over directly and shouted: "Get up, get out quickly!" The little devil is coming up soon! Hurry up, it's all a little sharper! ”

On the battlefield, whistles and trumpets often mean orders. In the complete ignorance of some of the recruits, these veterans pulled them all out of the pit and began to enter the blocking trenches for which they were responsible.

Looking at the many trenches that collapsed after being ravaged by artillery fire, these veterans also hurriedly said: "Don't lie on your stomach, hurry up and repair these fortifications." Remember, if you want to survive on the battlefield, fortifications are also a life-saving thing.

While it will take a little time for the little devil to come up, hurry up and repair the fortifications, and repair this trench, and maybe you can save your life later. Hurry up, don't be stunned, hurry up and strengthen the fortifications! ”

The veteran of the reconnaissance battalion who was talking took a shovel in the cat's ear hole and quickly repaired and strengthened the collapsed fortifications. When someone teaches them, the soldiers of these garrison regiments can naturally follow the same example.

When the Eighth Route Army was reinforcing and repairing the bombed fortifications, an infantry brigade in charge of the first round of attacks also bent over and touched the blocking position in a straggler line. Even if the line of sight is not good, many little devils are very careful.

At this moment, in addition to the sound of shovels digging and slapping, some full-time scouts on guard listened carefully to the movement of the front position. Even in front of the position, if there are some scattered scattered flames.

Just as they were within a firing range of 200 meters, many attacking Japanese troops suddenly kicked some empty drill boxes. The sound of ding ding dong seemed to be particularly harsh when both parties were suppressed.

Just as a Japanese soldier was about to order the soldiers to be careful about their feet, this ding-dong sound quickly resounded in the ranks of the Japanese army, as if it would be contagious. This made many Japanese soldiers feel that they were only afraid of being exposed.

The vigilant sentry, who also heard the voice, quickly ordered: "The little devil has come up, ready to fight!" ”

The voice of the sentry came, and many soldiers who were originally reinforcing the fortifications threw their shovels directly into the cat's ear hole. The guns placed next to the pit were quickly set up on the newly leveled and repaired trenches, quietly waiting for the order to shoot.

When the sound of tinkling and ding on the battlefield increased, the company commander in charge of the command said: "Shoot two flares!" ”

The signal soldier, who stayed by the company commander's side, quickly fired two flares into the sky in front of him. As the flares rose into the air, the cat's waist touched the Japanese soldiers in the blocking position, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

And at this moment, the squad and platoon leaders in countless trenches shouted: "Fight! ”

The machine gunners, who were ready to shoot, aimed their guns at the relatively dense Japanese formations as soon as the flares were in the air. As for the other riflemen, they each locked on to their own target.

At the sound of 'hitting', all the fighters on the position quickly pulled the trigger in their hands. The intertwined bullet flames, like insignificant meteors, shot towards the exposed Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese troops, who were also slow to react, attacked when they saw the flares rising into the air. The bullets in the hands of the soldiers on both sides were like two convective flames, enveloping the entire blocking position in a fiery red color.

The commanders of both sides calmly watched the first collision between the two sides. It's just that compared to the calmness of the reconnaissance battalion commander, Sakai, who stayed at the bottom of the mountain to watch the battle, was somewhat shocked. He really realized that this eight-way team was very unusual.

The average national army unit is very unsuitable for night fighting. Something like flares is also rarely distributed by troops. But the troops guarding the blocking position in front of him were able to fire flares from time to time to provide reference for the shooters.

In this case, as the attacking side, it is undoubtedly a great loss! This also means that if you want to take down the blocking position in front of you, I am afraid that it will also make his brigade hurt! (To be continued.) )
