May 16, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), 8 o'clock in the morning, cloudy.

Shu Tongwen is indeed very good at mobilization, he mobilized tens of thousands of laborers from the nearby four miles and eight townships, after a whole night of intense construction, by dawn the fortifications of our 74th Army have basically taken shape, in order to build bunkers, many people nearby even demolished the door panels of their homes.

The most touching is an old man who is over 70 years old, the old man ranks ninth in the clan, known as the ninth master, it is said that in the early years he once participated in the boxing movement, fought with the Eight-Nation Alliance in Langfang, and once killed a British devil, the ninth master donated his Nanmu coffin board to us, and also brought his only living relative, a little grandson who was only 16 years old insisted on joining the national army, and the captain refused to persuade them to go.

There was really no way, so the captain could only leave the ninth master in the cooking class and give the old camel a hand, and the ninth master's little grandson stayed in the health team.

Yulan......

As soon as Li Zihan's diary was written here, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion above his head, which could crack people's ears, and a large amount of soil fell from the thick beam on the top of the shelter, and a lot of dust fell on the snow-white pages of the diary, Li Zihan quickly blew it away.

A student soldier who had just joined the engineer platoon of the 19th Brigade next to him was almost frightened by this explosion like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the urinary tract sphincter suddenly loosened, and a stream of heat had already gushed out, and a large piece of his crotch was wet at once, and the student soldier hurriedly gathered his legs, lest others see it.

Li Zihan seemed to be aware of it, and turned around and threw an encouraging look at the student soldier, the recruits of the engineer platoon were not selected from the recruits who Feng Shengfa had replenished to the 19th Brigade before, but the students who were temporarily recruited from Wuhan after Li Zihan returned to the team.

This recruit is named Liao Yaohua, who was originally a student at Tongji University in Shanghai, majoring in chemical engineering.

Seeing Li Zihan looking back, Liao Yaohua hurriedly smiled at him, but his smile was more ugly than crying.

Li Zihan also came from the recruits, of course he knew how nervous Liao Yaohua and the rest of the recruits in the engineer platoon would be, but he knew better that whatever he said was superfluous, recruits were like this, the first time they experienced such a scene must be full of ugliness, and when they experienced more and saw more, they would naturally calm down.

Liao Yaohua looked up at the wooden beams that were thicker than the mouth of the bowl on the top of the shelter, and saw a large amount of dust and dirt falling down from the cracks in the wooden beams, so he asked Li Zihan with some concern: "Platoon commander, should the shelter of our platoon not let the little Japanese shells blow down, right?" ”

Li Zihan said: "Our shelter has two layers of horizontal and vertical wooden beams, which are also covered with half a meter thick rammed earth, as long as they are not directly hit by small Japanese shells with a caliber of more than 10m, it should not collapse, of course, if we are directly hit by a small Japanese shell with a caliber of more than 10m, then we will be freed." ”

What does it mean to be relieved, of course, everyone knows that the faces of the recruits are even more ugly.

Liao Yaohua's face also became more and more pale, and he said: "Little Japan's artillery fire is really fierce. ”

"What is this?" Li Zihan pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "This level of artillery fire, compared with the large-caliber naval guns of the small Japanese Navy in the Battle of Songhu and the heavy bombs dropped by the small Japanese air force, is simply worthy of tickling, to tell you, the naval guns of the small Japanese Navy caliber 30Umm can blow up a reinforced concrete building with a single shell, and on the ground is a super large crater with a diameter of nearly 100 meters." ”

"Huh? This ......" There was no trace of blood on Liao Yaohua's face, he couldn't imagine how his flesh and blood could face such a murderous cannon? He couldn't imagine how those veterans of the national army persevered in the Battle of Songhu, he felt scared just by listening to it, but those veterans persevered for a whole month.

Li Zihan said again: "Boy, you are already very lucky. ”

Liao Yaohua was silent, and only after a long time did he ask again: "Platoon commander, when will the shelling of Little Japan end?" ”

Li Zihan took out a gold pocket watch from his arms, this pocket watch was given to him by Wang Yulan before the expedition, and on the back of the watch, Wang Yulan also asked the craftsman to engrave a row of small characters - the gift to my favorite, the payment is a magnolia flower pattern, seeing this magnolia flower pattern, Li Zihan couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Looking at the time, Li Zihan said: "It's almost over, the shelling should be over in five minutes at most." ”

Li Zihan's estimate was very accurate, and after about four or five minutes, the sound of explosions on the ground began to become sparse, and the sound became farther and farther away, and the vibration transmitted from the ground also became slighter, which showed that the artillery group of the small Japanese was already extending the artillery bombardment to the deep positions of the national army, which also meant that the small Japan was about to launch an attack with infantry.

Li Zihan jumped up from the ground and shouted at the more than 40 student soldiers around him who had not yet recovered from the small Japanese cluster shelling: "Get up, all of them will get up for me, the first squad will carry tools and cables, the second squad will go with me to check the anti-tank cone and then arrange the anti-tank mine lead, and the third squad will reset the anti-infantry minefield and go."

When Li Zihan led the engineer platoon to rush out of the underground shelter and go up to the ground position, the gunpowder smoke on the position had not yet dissipated, and the vast majority of the recruits were not used to this pungent smell, so they choked and coughed and cried, but Li Zihan was completely unaffected by the smell of gunpowder and his line of sight, and quickly went up to the front of the position.

It took Liao Yaohua a lot of effort to barely keep up with Li Zihan's footsteps, he was Li Zihan's orderly.

"Pliers."

"Tape."

"Tweezers."

"Dagger."

Every time Li Zihan shouted, Liao Yaohua hurriedly took out the corresponding tools from the backpack he was carrying, because he was nervous, he inevitably made mistakes in his busyness, and as a result, he was reprimanded by Li Zihan every time, although Li Zihan was also a student, but after several wars, he has completely become a full soldier.

At this time, the gunpowder smoke shrouded in the position gradually dissipated, and Liao Yaohua could also see the surrounding situation clearly.

I saw that there were about 20 scattered anti-tank cones not far ahead, and these anti-tank cones were all cast with stone mixed ash, which was enough to resist the fire of 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, so it could effectively stop the tank's travel path, but unfortunately, the 19th Brigade did not have enough ash, so it could only block a very narrow section in the middle.

However, the 19th Brigade still has a backhand, on the left and right sides of the anti-tank cone, anti-tank trenches have been dug, and anti-tank mines modified from 10m caliber shells are buried in the gaps of the trenches.

Li Zihan was busy resetting the lead, Liao Yaohua inadvertently turned around, but was suddenly taken aback, only to see a small group of Japanese soldiers had appeared in the field of vision, and the Japanese soldier at the head also carried a plaster flag on his bayonet, and the sun pattern of the plaster flag was red like blood under the light of the morning sun.

"Little Japan, little Japan is coming up," Liao Yaohua suddenly shouted in panic.

"What's the panic?" Li Zihan didn't raise his head, and said coldly, "Little Japan only has a small team, and there are no tanks, this is just a tentative attack by Little Japan, not to mention that Little Japan is still at least five hundred meters away, such a long distance, unless a sharpshooter comes, the bullets will not hit you." ”

Liao Yaohua still lay down on the ground, wondering what if there was a sharpshooter from Little Japan?

Li Zihan seemed to guess what Liao Yaohua was thinking, shook his head and said: "If there is no sharpshooter in Little Japan, it will be fine if you stand and let them fight, if there is a sharpshooter in Little Japan, you will still shoot your head while lying on your stomach." ”

Liao Yaohua's face turned pale again, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is the little Japanese sharpshooter really so powerful?" ”

"Well, just look at him." Li Zihan pouted not far in front of him, and lowered his head again to get busy.

Liao Yaohua looked in the direction indicated by Li Zihan, and saw that there was a national army figure behind the row of anti-tank cones, he was wearing a strange disguise, and it was covered with dust.

Liao Yaohua thought that this guy was really bold, the artillery fire of the little Japanese just now was so dense and fierce, he was not afraid that a shell would fall and blow him to pieces?

In the blink of an eye, the soldier picked up a rifle with a scope.

Then Liao Yaohua heard a crisp gunshot from the "Bing Ge", and when he turned his head to look at Little Japan, his eyes suddenly widened, because 500 meters away, the Japanese soldier with the plaster flag on the bayonet had already fallen, and dozens of Japanese soldiers who rushed forward with bayonets also fell to the ground.

"This, so accurate?" Liao Yaohua couldn't believe it, "I'm afraid it's a coincidence, right?" ”

"Coincidentally?" Li Zihan finally finished his work, got up and said, "Do you know who he is?" ”

Liao Yaohua was stunned and said, "Who is he?" ”

"Don't you always want to know who Two Hundred and Five are?" Li Zihan said, "He is two hundred and five"

"What do you say, he's two hundred and five?" Liao Yaohua's mouth opened wide suddenly, and he could stuff a goose egg.

As soon as Liao Yaohua entered the 19th Brigade, he knew that there was a veteran nicknamed 205 with very good marksmanship, and every veteran of the 74th Army also knew this person, the recruits had heard of it but never knew which one it was, and asked the veterans that they didn't bird you at all, and after a long time, Liao Yaohua felt that this was a false rumor, and there was no such person in reality, thinking about it, one person killed 250 Japanese soldiers on the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield, how is this possible?

"That's right, he's two hundred and five." Li Zihan handed over the telescope hanging around his neck again, and then said, "Look carefully, see if it is useful for little Japan to lie on the ground." ”

Liao Yaohua took the binoculars and held it up, and the Japanese soldier lying on the ground in the field of vision saw it more clearly, and then, Liao Yaohua saw a canopy of blood mist suddenly blooming behind the head of a Japanese soldier in his field of vision, and the whole person was also tilted to one side, and a Japanese soldier wearing a red cross armband on his arm came up to look at it, and immediately retracted it.

Liao Yaohua wanted to look at it again, but the telescope asked Li Zihan to take it back: "Let's go, the lead is connected, and Little Japan is about to launch a strong attack with tanks and large troops." ”
