Chapter 588: A False Alarm!

Jiufangling, more than 50 poorly equipped and poorly trained soldiers desperately tried to hold this place, but they couldn't even stop a charge from the devil, and in despair, the last few soldiers pulled the grenades on their bodies and died with the devils.

At four o'clock in the morning, the devils occupied Jiufang Ridge, but in the face of the terrain and bad weather of Jiufang Ridge, they also had nothing to do about the defense, only to report the situation like the landing brigade headquarters and ask for the next combat order, they would rather attack than hold their positions here and wait for the attack of the squadron.

At five o'clock in the morning, the troops of the 65th Regiment arrived in the area of Jiufangling and launched an attack at random, and the devils of a squadron could not stop the attack of a regiment at all, especially on such a position with imperfect fortifications.

"Hurry up and watch your step."

At this time, Feng Yi and his tired brothers were still in the difficult trek, and in the face of bad weather, the Chinese troops who relied on two feet to move were very difficult to cope with the rapid change of attack and defense on the battlefield.

The road to Jiufangling became very muddy, the troops of the 11th Division and the people stepped on the road into a road in the past two days, the brothers often brought out a foot of thin mud, the sight in the rainy night was very poor, even if it was light and rushed, but no one dared to hit the torch, on this battlefield, the devil's artillery could be shelled at any time, and the moving fire dragon was often the primary bombing target of the devil's heavy artillery and naval artillery, the battlefield was not a playhouse, there was no room for luck, in the cruel battlefield, all the brothers had long been accustomed to this way of marching.

"There's a situation ahead!"

The supplementary company led by Zhang Chuan walked in front, and in front of it was Jiufangling, and it was a brother who came back to report that he was covered in mud.

"Stop moving forward and get ready to fight!"

Feng Ye didn't dare to be careless, maybe the devils had already occupied this place, as for why the brothers of the 65th Regiment didn't clean up here, Feng Ye didn't have time to think about it now, because their task was to block the devils in Sanli Town, maybe this little devil slipped in, and the hole in the southern defense line of Hukou was too big.

Now there is no need for Feng Yi to give special orders on what to do, and each company, under the leadership of the company commander, bends down and moves forward quickly, spreading out on both sides of the road to find a hiding place.

"Machine guns stand up, quick!"

Wang Lun stared at the Jiufangling position in front of him, and ordered the Czech machine guns to hurry up, they were too fast, and the heavy machine guns and mortars were still behind and did not follow.

"Don't fire yet, wait for Company Commander Zhang to come back."

Feng Ye did not order the brothers to attack immediately, and it was good to take this opportunity to let the tired brothers take a breath.

But he didn't have to wait long, Zhang Chuan sent someone back again to report that it was not the devils who occupied Jiufangling, but a platoon of the 65th Regiment, where they were waiting for the follow-up troops, and the other troops of the 65th Regiment had continued to advance towards Sanli Town an hour earlier.

"A false alarm, ordering the brethren to take over the position."

Feng Ye let out a sigh of relief, more than half of the brothers in the battalion were killed or wounded, and the rest of the brothers were also tired, compared to the offense, he felt that the defense was much easier, at least the brothers had a chance to breathe.

"Battalion commander, how do you get this hellish place! The trenches are full of mud, and the brothers don't even have bunkers! ”

Several company commanders looked depressed, this place has been tossed and turned several times, except for the road to the south of the lake, there is no convenience for defense.

"Dig foxholes by the trenches, connect with the trenches, and let the water of the foxholes be drained into the trenches; Tell the brethren to dig as many foxholes as possible, and to make as many lines of defense as possible, with no more than twenty men per line; Remember, it's on all sides, just when we're already surrounded! ”

Feng Ye had a cold face, pointing to the dark night sky around him, in the scattered rain and fog, he couldn't see the surrounding situation, the devils could attack from any direction, there were less than three hundred brothers in his hands, and the rest of the brothers were still on the way to come, and even the heavy machine guns, grenadiers and ammunition they relied on for desperately did not come.

"Gollum ......"

"Gollum ......"

I don't know whose stomach is rumbling in the night.

"Gollum!"

Feng Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he felt that he was hungry now, but there was nothing to eat, they had been fighting since two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and they had nothing to eat except water.

"Damn the devil."

"Which of you got the devil's field lunch box?"

"Smoke, is there any smoke?"

……

One by one, the brothers shouted, not to mention food, even the kettle behind them was empty.

But there was nothing but swearing, except guns and ammunition that could not be eaten.

"Company Commander Min must have something to eat there! Only he likes to mess with devils' lunch boxes! ”

"I'm afraid I've already eaten it up, can I keep that thing?"

……

The brothers regretted their work and regretted that they didn't get a few devils' field lunch boxes on the battlefield, and at that time they were bent on digging out the devils' melon grenades, but only when they were hungry did they know how important it was to eat.

"Bear with me! If the 65th Regiment takes down Sanli Town, there will be food, and there will be a lot of supplies there. ”

Feng Yi persuaded everyone, reluctant to spit out, and swallowed the saliva as food.

In fact, now it is not only the brothers of the battalion who are hungry, but also the people who are hungry in this night's fierce battle, the battle is too chaotic, and there is no absolute safe logistics area in the entire Hukou now, plus the 11th Division is in the movement, there are no laborers who dare to break into the battlefield and send them food.

"Huhuhu......"

The soaked earth was a laborious digging up, and the brothers used bayonets and steel helmets to dig out the soil and pile it up beside it, building improvised bunkers for themselves.

"Solidify the soil, don't be lazy, you're going to lose your life."

Feng Yi's head and face were covered with muddy marks, compared to his life, he felt that no matter how hard and tired it was, it was worth it.

"Click, click......"

The sound of a large number of troops trampling on the mud sounded, and gradually approached Jiufang Ridge.

"Battalion commander, a large number of people are approaching, in that direction."

Of course, not all brothers are digging in the earth, and this is when the sentinels are most useful.

"Don't dig and get ready to fight!"

Feng Ye shouted, motioning for the brothers to quickly find a place to lie down.

"Click, click......"

The sound of pulling the bolt kept ringing, and as for the grenades, they did not rush to take them out.

"Huhuhu......"

Now there is no need to lie on the ground to listen, Feng Yi felt the movement coming from the rain curtain, and there were many people approaching.

"Who?"

At Feng Yi's signal, a brother shouted loudly, signaling the other party to identify himself, and at this time, Feng Yi's finger had already hit the trigger, if the person on the other side did not speak, he would shoot without the slightest hesitation.
