Chapter 148: The Escapees Are Shot
Tian Lei's scolding was still echoing in the camp headquarters, and a piercing scream sounded in the sky. Tian Lei is not the first day of being a soldier, so he can naturally hear the sound of a cannonball cutting through the air, his face changed, and he muttered to himself, "The little devil really shot the cannon!" ”
Tian Lei hurriedly ran out of the battalion headquarters and shouted to the brothers in the trenches, "The little devil has run away!" Brethren, hurry up and guard against the artillery! ”
But Tian Lei's shouting was completely covered by a violent explosion! Then a violent explosion sounded, and the shells continued to fall on the position of Tian Lei's battalion, exploding violently, and the violent explosion made the entire position almost enveloped by artillery fire. Blown up rocks and dust mixed with broken wood from the fortifications flew everywhere.
The soldiers of Tian Lei's battalion, under the sudden artillery bombardment, suddenly became a mess, Tian Lei shuttled between the trenches with his waist bent, constantly persuading the soldiers not to mess up. Under the comfort of the battalion commander, the panicked mood was quickly controlled, and the soldiers honestly lay in the trenches one by one, silently praying in their hearts that the shells would not fall on their heads.
Looking at the left-wing position that was caught in a burst of artillery fire, Chen Zhenpeng also looked worried, turned his head and said to Li Dexing beside him, "You immediately take a company and prepare to support the left-wing position!" ”
"But we have our own positions to defend! Now that the war has just started, you want to support them? Li Dexing complained loudly.
"Fuck you! The little devil is now bombarding the left flank position, and he will definitely focus on attacking the left flank later, if the left flank position is lost, even if we hold the position, it will be useless! Chen Zhenpeng, who was already in a bad mood, heard Li Dexing's complaint and opened his mouth to scold.
Li Dexing opened his mouth, but when he saw Chen Zhenpeng's angry expression, he finally only squeezed out one word from between his teeth, "Yes!" ”
Chen Zhenpeng didn't bother to care about him at this time, took out his pocket watch from his arms and glanced at it, and couldn't help but scold, "Damn! The little devil is really fucking willing! It's been 20 minutes! ”
Maybe the heavens heard Chen Zhenpeng's complaint, and as soon as Chen Zhenpeng's voice fell, the sound of the cannon gradually stopped. Chen Zhenpeng squinted his eyes and ordered with a serious face, "Prepare for battle, the little devil is about to attack!" ”
Sure enough, three squadrons immediately divided into three squadrons on the little devil's position and pressed towards our position, two of which pounced directly on the left flank position, and the other squadron pounced on the right position where Chen Zhenpeng was. The little devil, under the command of his commander, rushed up with a scream.
At this time, Tian Lei was embarrassed, and the military uniform on his body had been torn a few times, revealing clumps of cotton, but the originally white cotton had been smoked black by gunsmoke. But at this time, Tian Lei couldn't care about this, staggered up from the trench, and immediately began to organize the troops to restore the position.
Looking at the little devils rushing up densely, Tian Lei only felt a tingling of his scalp. In the shelling just now, Tian Lei's battalion suffered heavy losses, although only more than 20 people died! But all four heavy machine guns in the battalion have been scrapped, and six light machine guns have been lost. Originally, the 117 Brigade had just retreated from the front line and its morale had been lost, but now it had just started the battle when it was hit by heavy artillery fire from the Chinese army, and the officers and men suddenly became panicked, and some of them had even begun to prepare to flee.
Fortunately, although Tian Lei is a little arrogant and has no one in his eyes, he does have a hand in the war. Seeing that the hearts of the officers and soldiers were fluctuating, they comforted loudly, "Brothers! Behind us is Chengde City, which has now been reduced to a lonely city, and we are already surrounded by little devils and those dogs! We have no way back, and if we want to survive, we can only fight with the little devils! There is an order in the brigade, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who retreat for the enemy will be shot! Brothers, fight with the little devils, give me a hard beating! ”
Tian Lei's words still played a certain role after all, and the soldiers regained a trace of composure after hearing this, grabbed the guns in their hands one after another, and shot at the little devils who rushed up, and the gunshots were loud for a while!
The dense rain of bullets swept down the little devils who rushed up in an instant, but the little devils behind them fell down one after another and looked for favorable terrain to fight back! The little devil set up a straight crooked machine gun and began to strafe our positions to suppress our firepower. One by one, the grenadiers found favorable terrain and began to fire grenades!
The Eighth Division of the Chinese Army is worthy of being the elite of the Chinese Army, and these little devils are well-trained one by one and are very skilled in tactical movements. Moreover, the little devil has always been known for his accurate marksmanship, so the counterattack of the army gave our army a lot of damage. If it weren't for the fact that our army occupied favorable terrain and was condescending, I am afraid that this attack of the little devils would have been able to take the position.
The little devils were in a straggler formation, constantly approaching our army's position, these little devils sometimes crawled forward, sometimes got up and charged, and soon rushed to the front of the position within a few dozen meters.
"Grenade! Blow him up! Tian Lei shouted loudly, then picked up a grenade at hand, opened the fuse and threw it at the crowd of little devils. When the soldiers heard the battalion commander's shout, they also grabbed grenades and threw them at the top of the little devil's head.
In an instant, hundreds of grenades flew towards the little devils, and then exploded with a bang, a violent explosion, mixed with screams, and dozens of little devils rolled down the hillside. But more little devils rushed up with the smoke from the grenade explosion.
A little devil quickly rushed to the back of a big rock and hid, then took out a grenade, knocked it lightly on the helmet, and then threw it out, the grenade spun and flew directly into the trench, and then exploded with a bang, and the two soldiers were directly swept out by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
At this time, a soldier next to him, looking at the two comrades who were blown to pieces not far away, his face instantly turned pale, the rifle in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily, and shouted in panic, "The little devil rushed up!" The little devils rushed up! He shouted as he turned and ran back.
Seeing someone fleeing, there was a sudden twitch on the position, and many soldiers began to prepare to slip away. As soon as Tian Lei found out that something was wrong, he immediately took out the box cannon on his waist and shot the soldier who fled first, and then shouted loudly, "Those who dare to escape from the battle will be shot on the spot!" The brethren and the little devils fought! ”
Under the threat of the battalion commander, the soldiers turned back to their positions one after another, picked up their guns and continued to shoot at the little devils below! But at this time, I suddenly found that in the short chaos just now, the little devils had rushed up.
A devil commander held a command knife, his face twisted sharply and roared loudly, "Kill it!" The little devils climbed up one by one and rushed to our army's position without fear of death.
Although the soldiers pulled the trigger in their hands one after another, in the face of the crazy little devils, the officers and soldiers of the Tian Lei battalion, who were already panicked, had a few points left. Although dozens of little devils fell on the way to the charge, many more little devils took the opportunity to rush to the position. (To be continued.) )
