Xiao Chai Muci clenched the 38-style rifle gun with both hands, and the whole person was so nervous that his thinking was about to stagnate.

Xiao Shiba Muji was a reserve soldier who had only participated in military training for two months before being drafted, and then he took a train and a ship to another country.

Since the Meiji Restoration, the military service system of Konithonben has developed quite perfectly, ordinary soldiers serve for two years, and after completing their service, they are automatically transferred to the reserve, and reserve soldiers are also called village soldiers; In addition, the number of conscripts in Xiaori is limited each year, and there are still a large number of young people of school age who are unable to enter the army, which is called reserve service.

To put it simply, the reserve has joined the army, but the reserve has not been a soldier.

After the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese government had already carried out six mobilizations, and the active troops were far from being able to meet the needs of the operation.

After landing from Jinshanwei, Xiao Chai Mu has been staying in the Replenishment Corps, and has not had the opportunity to participate in the battle, until two days ago, he was added to the Noguchi Squadron, from a recruit to a private, so today's battle is the first time Xiao Chai Mu has participated in the battle, he is too nervous, when the squad leader gave the order to charge, he didn't react.

"Yaga!" The leader of the pond carp team viciously kicked Xiao Chai Mu's ass.

Xiao Chai Mu screamed, and then got up clumsily under the fierce gaze of the Chi Carp squad leader, and then ran forward in a daze with the 38-style rifle with the bayonet loaded, because of nervousness, Xiao Chai Mu's hearing had problems, he couldn't hear the roar of the squad leader, couldn't hear the footsteps of his comrades, and couldn't even hear the sound of gunfire, the whole Shijie was dead silent, and the only sound he could hear was the popping heartbeat from his chest.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, the thick smoke choked people to tears, and the pits under their feet were full of large craters blown out by shells, because they couldn't see clearly, Xiao Chai Mu almost fell to the ground several times, and it was the Chi Carp Squad Leader who grabbed his backpack from the side and pulled him up, and the Chi Carp Captain's mouth was closed, as if he was cursing, but Xiao Chaimu couldn't hear it, and his shijie was still a dead silence.

Xiao Chaimu ran mechanically and instinctively.

As he ran, a red light suddenly rose on the ground, and several veterans were thrown into the air in an instant, which was a mine.

There were also dazzling streamers in the smoke that could not be dissolved, they were like meteors in the night sky, disappearing, so beautiful that people sighed, until one of the streamers passed through the head of a veteran soldier in front of him and brought up a canopy of flying blood mist, Xiao Chai Mu realized that this streamer was actually a bullet!

The veteran ran two steps forward by inertia, and then fell in a strange position.

Xiao Chai Mu looked at the veteran, until he ran over and looked back, his thinking was still stagnant, so he was not very afraid, he just instinctively wanted to see clearly, the person was not ejected through the head of the quilt, but unfortunately he couldn't see it, the smoke and dust on the battlefield and the gunpowder smoke were too thick to see clearly.

Xiao Chai Mu kept running, kept running, until he stepped on the air and fell into a trench, after this fall, Xiao Chai Mu's hearing suddenly recovered, the explosion of shells, the fierce strafing sound of all kinds of light and heavy machine guns, and the roar of the squadron leader and squad leader, all of a sudden, poured into Xiao Chai Mu's ear hole like a tide.

Although Xiao Chai Mu's hearing was restored, his mind was still frozen, and he instinctively got up and wanted to rush forward, but he was pushed back into the trench by the leader of the Chi Carp squad with his backpack

Hongjue Temple Patriarch Hall, the headquarters of the 19th Brigade.

Gu Wei hurriedly came in and reported to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, it's broken, it's broken, Xiao Ri has already rushed into our forward position, Lu Yong's 2nd company is blocked in the air-raid shelter, and it can't move, Xiao Ri is going to be sapper blasting on Xiao Mao Nan and a few of their light and heavy machine gun nests, it's broken!" ”

The fortifications of Zutang Mountain are divided into three roads, the first fortification is built at the foot of the mountain, the second fortification is built on the mountainside, and the third fortification is built in Hongjue Temple.

The defense mode of each line of defense is basically like this: when the Japanese artillery bombardment, the defending troops hide in the bomb shelter to defend against artillery, and when the Japanese artillery bombardment is finished and put into the infantry to attack, the defending troops rush out of the bomb shelter, quickly enter the trenches and skirmish trenches, and cooperate with the locked side-fire points to block the Japanese attack.

The side-firing firing points repaired by the 19th Brigade are all locked-type fortifications, which are very strong and can protect each other, but the side-firing fire is not the orthographic fire after all, and the firing boundary is still extremely narrow.

Yesterday, the Japanese army stormed for a whole day, except for the first attack when the 19th Brigade deliberately lured the enemy deep into the middle of the mountain to attack the mid-mountain position, and the next dozen attacks failed to break through the first line of defense at the foot of the mountain.

But now, the problem came, the Japanese army relied on the extremely accurate infantry and artillery coordination, the sortie position directly advanced to the first line of defense, as soon as the artillery bombardment ended, the Japanese infantry quickly rushed up, and seized most of the fortifications before Lu Yong's 2nd Company went down from the air-raid shelter to the trenches and skirmishers.

After the Japanese army seized the fortifications, they were able to calmly organize the sappers to blast several locked machine gun nests on the first line of defense, and once several locked machine gun nests were blown up by the Japanese army, the first line of defense collapsed, and even if the 19th Brigade organized troops to regain the position, it was difficult to continue to hold on.

Xu Nineteen is not willing to fight a regular defensive battle with Xiao Ri Ben, Xiao Ri Ben has an absolute advantage in artillery, and even has the Air Force to help in the war, and Xiao Ri Ben fights a regular defensive war, the 19th Brigade has more than 800 veterans, at most it will be all fought out in two days, after all, the 19th Brigade has a terrain advantage, and Bai Jian is idiot to fight a regular defensive war with Xiao Ri Ben.

The one-eyed dragon said: "Captain, I'll take 3 companies to reinforcements." ”

Xu Nineteen said: "No, Xiao Ri Ben is looking forward to you going down, you take the troops down at this time, and wait until you pass through Xiao Ri Ben's artillery seal, how many people can be left in Zuihou?" ”

The one-eyed dragon said: "Then what should I do, can't I wait?" ”

"Waiting? Of course, you can't wait. Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Isn't Xiao Ri's infantry coordination very powerful?" Okay, today also let Xiao Ri see the coordination of our national army's infantry artillery! Pass my order, the mortar company will shoot Zhu Yuan according to the calibration, and carry out twenty rapid fire on the forward positions! ”

Although the Noguchi squadron seized the first line of defense of the 19th Brigade and blocked more than 100 officers and men of Lu Yong's 2nd Company in two air-raid shelters, unable to get out, they were also suppressed by the several side-firing fire points in the shade and unable to raise their heads in the communication trenches and skirmishers.

The Chi Carp squad was responsible for blasting one of the machine gun nests, the machine gun nest was hidden under a boulder, and it was impossible to start in other directions, only by stuffing the explosive powder bag into the shooting hole, Chi Carp Jin sent two sappers to blow it up, and all of them were killed, because in front of the machine gun nest was a smooth stone platform, which was difficult for the zhanzhu people.

Chi Carp Jinyi fell on Xiao Chai Mu again, and shouted: "Xiao Chai Mu Sang, you go." ”

Xiao Chai Mu climbed out of the trench in a daze with the explosive medicine bag, and crawled to the machine gun nest in a daze, I don't know if it was because of his short stature, or because of good luck, Xiao Chai Mu miraculously climbed in front of the machine gun nest, and then secretly pulled the fuse and then chilled the explosive medicine bag through the shooting hole.

But before Xiao Chai Mu could turn around and run away, the explosive medicine bag was thrown out of the shooting hole again.

Chi Carp Jinyi was anxious, and shouted: "Xiao Chai Musan, plug the shooting hole, use your body to block the shooting hole, I know that you are a real samurai, and the empire will always remember you." ”

Xiao Shibamu, like most young people in Japan, has been completely brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, and immediately picked up the explosive pill bag and stuffed it into the shooting hole again, and then really used his not strong body to meet the fierce strafing machine gun to block the shooting hole, two or three seconds later, Xiao Shibamu's body suddenly bounced off like a cannonball, and the boulder the size of half a house was also lifted, and the machine gun nest hidden below was also blown up.

However, before Chi Koi Nishiki could shout a yo Xi, a cannonball had already fallen from the sky with a short scream, and then exploded, Chi Koi Nishikichi was blown up, and then, more shells whistled down, and the position occupied by the Japanese army fell into continuous violent explosions in an instant.

"Yagayalu, what are those idiots of the Field Artillery Wing doing?" Noguchi Takeshi thought that the artillery of the Field Artillery Wing had mistakenly shot Zhu Yuan, but he soon found out that this was not the case at all, and the trajectory of these shells was obviously wrong, they were not fired from their own position, but from the mountains.

The Noguchi squadron did not expect to be shelled by the Chinese army at all, and was taken by surprise, and what was worse was that the communication trenches and skirmish trenches seized by the Noguchi squadron could not defend against curved guns at all, and the national army used precisely curved guns, and the shells fell almost vertically from the sky, and it was useless to hide in the trenches.

Moreover, the artillery of the Chinese army was surprisingly accurate, and it must have been set to shoot Zhu Yuan.

The officers and men of the 2nd Company, who were originally blocked by the Noguchi squadron in the air-raid shelter and could not get out, were blessed by misfortune, and there was no.

Suddenly, the Noguchi squadron was blown up, the artillery is known as the king of land warfare, but it is not blown, even if it is a small-caliber curved artillery, it is not something that flesh and blood can resist, after 20 rapid fires, the Noguchi squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the spirit was also knocked out, and more than 100 officers and men of the 2nd Company took the opportunity to rush out of the air-raid shelter to carry out a counterattack.
