Heavy rain pours, the humid Yangtze River area is shrouded in a haze of smoke and rain, although the rain in July is not hot but slightly cold, the wet ground has become muddy because of the back and forth trampling.

Feng Ye was already soaked, his military uniform was attached to his body, and the water beads dripped down the lower edge of the corner of his clothes on his mud-covered legs, and the muddy water poured into his shoes along the trouser legs, which was very slippery.

In the end, the brothers signed up for the death squad, and Wang Ning was the first to stand up, and then there were people who volunteered to join.

As for the equipment of the death squads, Feng Ye gave them a large number of automatic firearms, twenty fast and slow machines, five Czech-style, and a large number of devil melon grenades, after all, that thing was stronger than a wooden-handled grenade in terms of weight and power.

The march in the heavy rain continued, except for the death squad composed of fifty brothers, only a platoon of engineer company brothers remained in the direct battalion, and the rest all participated in the battle, after all, they still had to attack the wing headquarters of the devils.

"Huhuhu......"

The march in the heavy rain was a great test of physical strength, and the order that the 11th Division received at two o'clock was already five o'clock, but they were still at least five kilometers away from the point of attack.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the sky gradually darkened, and the rumbling of artillery from near the mouth of the lake continued, and the Chinese and Japanese armies were still fighting fiercely.

At this time, the Japanese 106th Division recaptured the Longtan Mountain and Meilankou areas, and they were not idle all day today, and the main force of the Botian detachment, with the support of the 11th Naval Brigade and the 2nd, 3rd, and 15th Air Forces, launched a joint attack on the position of the 26th Division of the squadron defending Hukou, and the main force of the Botian detachment was only three kilometers away from the county seat of Hukou.

The Japanese army will seize Hukou, and the officers and men of the 26th Division will suffer casualties and go up again, vowing to hold the defensive position and not retreat.

"Speed up and run!"

Mei Chunhua was in a hurry, and kept asking the cavalry herald to urge the troops to move forward.

"Fast, fast, fast......"

At this time, not only Feng Ye was running wildly with his direct battalion, but all the troops were running wildly, and this was the time to test the endurance and continuous attack ability of the troops.

"Three battalions, follow me!"

Finally, as the troops gradually approached the Meilankou area, the 3rd Battalion of the 61st Regiment took the lead in turning eastward, and they were heading towards their goal.

"Sixty-one regiments, keep up!"

The 61st Regiment also turned to the north, and the team was left with the 62nd Regiment that continued to advance in the heavy rain, and as for Feng Yi, he had already run to the front with his direct battalion, and they had to take advantage of the heavy rain and low visibility to sneak in from the edge of the devil's position and climb to the side of the devil's artillery position as much as possible.

The mud soaked in heavy rain was soft and muddy, and as soon as we arrived at Meilankou, the traces left by continuous battles were everywhere, craters, tattered trenches, etc. were all over the battlefield, and the brothers of the 16th and 26th Divisions fought to the death with the devils here.

There were puddles everywhere, the rain filled the trenches and bomb craters, Feng Ye was crawling on the wet ground, his chest was wet and covered with muddy water, the temperature of his body was constantly dropping, and he even felt a little cold.

Behind him, the brothers of the death squad could not see which unit it was now, the mud covered their bodies, and in the rain, the color of the steel helmets kept appearing, and then it was covered with mud, and so on, getting closer and closer to the artillery positions of the devils.

"If you give the order, don't make a sound, and follow me to climb up!"

Feng Yi raised the binoculars, but he couldn't see anything in the rain, he only kept identifying the nearby environment and judging the distance between himself and the artillery position, which reflected the importance of accurate situation at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As he got closer and closer to the artillery position, the sound of shelling in Feng Jie's ears became more and more obvious, and he pressed the urge to charge, Feng Yi looked ahead with the help of the smell of gunsmoke, he wanted to find the defensive position of the devil.

After struggling on the anti-Japanese battlefield for so long, the artillery positions of the devils will be equipped with different garrison forces according to the different sizes, and a brigade will have at least one squadron of infantry defense, as for the artillery positions at the wing level, then there will be at least two infantry defenses of reinforced squadrons.

On the devil's artillery position, there is now less than a brigade of troops, a large number of artillery has crossed Longtan Mountain, is supporting the attack of the Botian detachment on Hukou, the position here is to support the defenders of Longtan Mountain, the devil suffered a big loss last night, they have to ensure the strength of the attack on Hukou, but also to prevent the Chinese ** people from counterattacking Pengze, they are not much infantry in the Meilankou area and Longtan Mountain area.

Near the artillery position, in addition to repairing the trenches, there are several simple bunkers stacked with sandbags, and the muzzles of the heavy machine guns are looming in the heavy rain, but there are no devils showing their figures, this heavy rain, in addition to the necessary alert troops, a large number of devil infantry and artillery have retracted into the tents.

In order to seize this area, the devils have been fighting from last night to the present, even if they are elite, they will be tired, they will be tired, they should be resting, and the troops of the 16th Division's counteroffensive have been suppressed in the area of Longtan Mountain, as for the troops of the 26th Division, they have all withdrawn to Hukou and strengthened the city defense, as for the 11th Division that attacked them last night, they got the situation, that army suffered heavy casualties, and it is now being repaired in the area of Sanli Town, even if they come back, it should not be so fast, so calculated, They had no idea that there would be another force on this battlefield that would attack them.

However, what they didn't expect was that their spy personnel did not send back the news of the 11th Division's regrouping and departure in time, and the intelligence transmission channel of the spy personnel was also affected by the heavy rain, and the squadron that had beaten them last night was killed again.

The position was full of cold corpses, and it was clear from the appearance that it was left behind by the 26th Division that retreated in a hurry, and now the entire battlefield was a huge meat grinder, filled with fresh lives, and after the fierce battle, it turned into cold corpses in the rain.

In the haze, the fifty people of the death squad were like big worms wriggling on the ground, touching the devil's artillery position on the wet ground.

"Ahh

A veteran who felt his cold body a little numb, and he was already very tired after soaking in the rain for so long, he stopped and rubbed his somewhat sore elbow, gasping slightly.

"If only there was a cigarette!"

The veteran sighed that cigarettes were a good thing, and if there was that thing to refresh himself, he felt that he could hold on for a few more hours, but when his hand touched his pocket, he remembered that when he set off, all the non-combat materials were left in Sanli Town, and they set off with only guns and ammunition.
