Section XXXVI

At noon on September 6, 1937, at the turn of summer, the long days were as hot as ever, although the sky was obscured by endless gunsmoke, but the heat between heaven and earth did not decrease, but like a steamer, steaming everything, making people wet and uncomfortable.

Listening to the loud shouts of a long line, you don't need to look to know that the little devil is attacking again. Perhaps there was not the slightest movement for the whole morning, which made the soldiers of the national army who had experienced last night's bloody battle feel much less afraid and uneasy, and the lunch that was delivered to the firing line in time made them feel more energetic after filling their stomachs, and when they heard that the enemy was attacking again, there was not much fluctuation, and they were ready to meet another bloody battle with a cold expression.

The sharp tip of the knife slashed across the bullet head, making a slight "crunch" sound, which made people's hearts palpitate inexplicably. Shi Shi sat there as always, as if he didn't hear the shouts of the platoon commander in the distance, in fact, Shi knew in his heart that there was still a long time between the Japanese attack and the real hand-to-hand encounter, and there was no need to waste much physical strength at this time.

"Brother Shi, look at it, the little devil seems to be a little wrong." Xiao Shandong shouted in surprise on the side, a pair of eyes staring into the distance.

Stone was a little puzzled, but he also got up and showed his head from the position.

The sky in the distance was covered by a layer of dust rising from the sky, and if it hadn't been raining for the previous few days, the scene would have been even more spectacular, but the attention of the stones was not on the dust, but on the tiny things on the ground that kept coming towards them, and because they were so far away, the stones could not see the shape of those things at all.

"Uncle, what's that?" Stone was taken aback by the new gadgets of the Japanese army.

The others on the side also watched dumbfoundedly, obviously they were like stones, and they had never seen such a thing. But from the dust that rose from the sky, they could guess the horror of these things.

Old Meng squinted his eyes slightly, his mind was tumbling, decades of experience and years of combat career were flashing quickly, however, Old Man Meng was disappointed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anything, this thing in front of him seemed to have never appeared in his memory.

The soldiers of the National Army on the position watched the Japanese approaching silently without saying a word, and without shelling, this should be the first time they could watch the enemy pounce on them little by little.

"Tank...... There was a sudden exclamation from the distance of the tank ......" position, and when the devil's troops were already approaching the foot of the mountain, someone finally recognized the strange things.

"Tanks?" The stone said the name blankly, strangely, in his mind, it seemed that he had an impression of this thing? The stone couldn't believe it, and his eyes fell to the bottom of the mountain again, and those big guys who had not been around for long finally revealed their terrifying bodies, which must have been made of steel, and on the iron guy as big as a house, a long cannon barrel pointed straight into the air, and from that point of view, it seemed to point to where they were.

"Cannons? There's a cannon on that thing. I don't know who shouted in horror, the tone was all incredible, and the deep fear of the Japanese artillery was deep-rooted.

A rumbling sound sounded all around, as the Japanese tanks more and more, closer and closer, they almost felt the tremor of the earth, the kind of power was no worse than the previous covering artillery fire, the only thing that made them a little relieved was that those big guys called "tanks", after approaching this hillside, suddenly went to both sides, groups of Japanese soldiers followed, like ants, and after that, groups of Japanese soldiers began to rush towards the hillside, the earthy yellow waves, It's like it's been repeating for the past few days, constantly devouring the land.

"Uncle Meng, what do these little devils want to do?" Xiao Shandong's face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he asked Lao Meng uneasily.

Lao Meng looked at the frowning stone, then looked at Xiaoshan Shandong, and said with a wry smile: "The little devil should want to surround us, with that 'tank' opening the way in front, the positions on both sides of the hillside are likely to be unable to hold, and then we will be trapped on this mountain." ”

"Can't we leave first?" Xiao Shandong asked weakly.

"Withdraw?" Lao Meng smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "For those commanders, our platoon, a company, or even a regiment are just some inconspicuous numbers on the map. ”

Li Wenguang and Liu Wenfeng on the side couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, obviously surprised that this bad old man, who didn't look at all inconspicuous, could grasp the minds of the officials so thoroughly.

The stone that had been silent finally spoke at this moment, but what was surprising was that the stone at this moment no longer had the previous horror and surprise, and there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle, the situation may not be as bad as you think." The stone said with a smile, then reined in his previous nervousness, and sat back down, completely no longer paying attention to the enemy situation below.

"Stone, if you have something to say, what else do you sell?" Chen Daaxe, who was huddled in the bunker of the machine array, poked his head out of it, obviously listening to his conversation all the time.

"Didn't the little devil's tank go to attack somewhere else, what are we bothering about here? If the little devil under the mountain really dares to rush up, he will be beaten down like he did a few days ago. The stone said with great ease, but made the people on the side roll their eyes, it was really an idiot, what kind of idea is this, if the positions of the two wings are broken through by the devils, they will be surrounded in this place, not to mention that they will be besieged from all sides, even if they are hungry, they will starve to death. But the stone's next words made them all change color, and they all looked very surprised.

"The platoon commander said a few days ago that this Luodian is the thoroughfare of the three counties, if this place is lost, the flank of the entire defense line will be occupied by devils, and the friendly troops who are still fighting in front will be attacked by the enemy from the flank. And last night's battle lost so many men at once, and the whole line of defense has become weak, and the best way in this case is to narrow the defense area and concentrate the forces. Now that the devils have tanks again, there must be reinforcements coming, and as long as those commanders are not stupid, they will definitely let us withdraw. ”

"What Brother Shi said seems to make a lot of sense." Xiao Shandong on the side seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life, and hurriedly nodded in response.

Lao Meng also sighed and said: "Whether you withdraw or not, let's wait to solve the little devil in front of you first." ”

When they said a few words, there were already rumbling artillery on both flanks of the hillside, and for a while the gunfire was loud, but in the case of heavy manpower losses, the positions on the top of the hill were no longer capable of providing condescending fire support for the two wings, and the two wing positions with the same loss of manpower were faced with the impact of the tanks in the absence of in-depth defense and three-dimensional cover, and the consequences could be imagined The tank, just like this, ran all the way over, and chased after a group of Japanese soldiers who followed closely behind.

"Broken, broken, the positions on both wings have been broken through!" Someone screamed on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers in charge of the position guarded the position and rushed towards the position of the regimental headquarters with a roar at the moment when the position was broken by the Japanese army.

The people on the hillside were in a trance, and one by one they suddenly lost the confidence to fight, and they really did not have the courage to fight when they were about to be occupied by the Japanese army.

At the same time, the 302nd Regiment Headquarters was resounding with the roar of the regiment commander Cheng Zhi, who was holding a hand* in one hand and a telephone in the other, and was yelling inside: "Brigade seat, do you give a sentence, do you hold on or retreat?" The positions on both flanks have been broken through, and in a few minutes, even if we are asked to withdraw, I will not be able to retreat. ”

"What? Need an order from the division? Cheng Zhi repeated a sentence incredulously, and then shouted without scruples: "Brigade commander, the 400 or so brothers under my command can't wait, the little devil has a tank, and if he doesn't retreat to the south of the Lianqi River, we will all die." ”

"Commander, the little devil under the mountain has attacked." A lieutenant hurriedly rushed in, and said something in a loud roar that made Cheng Zhi's heart chill.

Suddenly smashed the phone back, Cheng Zhi yelled: "Fight, the little devil is entangled, it is clear that he doesn't want us to go, damn it, tell the battalion commanders, prepare to fight back with me, rather than being killed alive in this ghost place, it is better to kill it, and fight his mother back happily." ”

"Blow up everything here, everyone get guns and get ready to kill me." After Cheng Zhi finished yelling, he pulled the bolt of the gun and rushed towards the position, and just as he stepped out of the headquarters, a surprised voice shouted: "The regimental seat, the regiment commander, the brigade headquarters order, retreat immediately, immediately withdraw to Luodian." ”
