"Night Attack!"

"The Japanese army attacked at night and entered the position to defend the artillery!"

Chen Yu ran through the trench and shouted, and a group of soldiers ran past him, the flames of the explosion of the high-explosive grenade appeared on his face, and the scorched earth was scorched by the incendiary bomb again.

A piercing brass whistle sounded, and the soldiers of each company, led by the officer veteran, returned to their combat positions. The Japanese army was good at night raids, and there were so many such tactics used at home that they thought they were invincible. The Sichuan Army also dealt with too many Japanese night raids and was prepared for this.

A violent explosion sounded on the overhead position, Chen Yu urged the soldiers along the trench to defend against the artillery, and the shock wave from the explosion of the shells blew up the sandbags piled up together to place the fragments, and the sandbags flew high and smashed at his feet.

Chen Yu leaned against the walls of the trenches to defend against artillery, and soon the soldiers returned to their combat positions, and the Japanese troops also broke through the first line of barbed wire defense, cutting the barbed wire and overturning the wooden fence. The barbed wire fence was the first line of defense to stop the Japanese infantry charge, and every attack had to be dealt with, and after each retreat, the Sichuan Corps sappers repaired it again.

The snake's butt hiding in the anti-artillery hole licked its dry lips, and in the face of the Japanese long-range cluster artillery fire, everyone was quietly waiting for the end of the Japanese artillery bombardment, so that it would be the turn of the Sichuan Army to defend.

The corners of his mouth and beard crawled in the trenches with the annoyance of grains of rice, crawling slowly towards his bunker fortifications like a cripple with his legs and feet blown off. Chen Yu pulled him over and stuffed him into the anti-artillery hole of the snake's butt beside him, and the two of them were very uncomfortable crowded in the narrow anti-artillery hole.

"You're dead, so slow to come?" Chen Yu asked loudly.

Annoyed holding a letter in his hand, he stuffed the letter into his pocket with his elbow on the neck of the snake's buttocks, and did not answer Chen Yu's questioning.

The snake butt twisted his ass in disgust and found a suitable posture for himself: "Fart battalion commander, it's useless for Chief Bia Yi to be the battalion commander, annoy, you want to escape?" ”

"Shut your mouth, cooking is unpalatable."

"I think you eat the most."

Annoyed replied: "If you don't eat and starve to death, I'm not that stupid." ”

The large-caliber artillery roared down on the position again, which made the two men stop bickering and hide their bodies deeper. Chen Yu had already stuck to another soldier, absentmindedly looking at the flares that were slowly falling in the sky.

When the flare slowly fell, the position was once again covered in darkness, and another flare rose into the air, shining as if it were daylight on the high ground and the plain road ahead.

The whistling of the shells ended, but there was no explosion for a long time, Chen Yu turned his head to look at the annoyance and snake butts crowded together on the opposite side, and instantly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, when he saw the white smoke on the position, which was also mixed with yellow smoke, which was extremely conspicuous under the incandescent light of the flares.

"Gas bombs!"

The shelling stopped, and the Japanese vanguard was ready to attack with gas masks, and a pair of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the gap in the barbed wire.

Chen Yu snatched the copper whistle from the snake's butt and blew it: "Drip——! ”

"Put on a gas mask, the Japanese attacked! All fight back, fight back! ”

It's the same again, the artillery is bombarding, the infantry is rushing; night raids; Launch gas bombs. These three tactics can be called the old three tactics of the Japanese army during the invasion of China, and after the three tricks are played, the areas that should be occupied will be occupied, and the areas that are not occupied will continue to repeat these three tactics.

This counterattack on the high ground was a beat slower than before, so that the Japanese felt that they had an opportunity, and frantically rushed out of the broken barbed wire gap.

But it was only a short moment, wearing gas masks, and the Japanese charge was unobstructed by the flares.

A line of fire appeared on the position, tracer bullets glided through the night, machine gun crews formed a fire circle to plug the gap in the barbed wire, and rifles and submachine guns collected the Japanese troops at short and medium distances. The mortars destroyed the Japanese army's follow-up attack formation, and the battle defense artillery selected the Japanese army's fire points to strike.

He was operating a Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun, a heavy machine gun with continuous fire that did not need to change the barrel, and a heavy machine gun crew of him almost suppressed a Japanese infantry squad, blocking a gap in the barbed wire by the way.

He didn't wear a gas mask, and this guy knew that if the heavy machine guns couldn't suppress the Japanese attack, it would be even more difficult to crush them behind the barbed wire. Bu Lai found him with a few pairs of gas masks, and hurriedly put the gas masks on him.

Found a pair of gas masks from an ammunition storage hole under the trenches, Chen Yu had already choked on the smoke and burst into tears, fortunately it was just tear gas, if it was mustard gas, he would be almost gone after a few breaths.

The smoke slowly engulfed the high ground, but the hilltop was too large to be defended by two battalions. The smoke drifted on the position of the second battalion, and the fire on the position of the first battalion was ferocious and abnormal, which indirectly relieved the pressure on the position of the second battalion on the flank.

Chen Yu ran out of the smoke-shrouded position in a panic, hid in a corner of a circular fortification, unscrewed the water bottle he was carrying to wash his eyes, and wiped his snot before feeling much better.

Fortunately, in the face of the Japanese army's gas bombs and smoke bomb attacks, the veterans were very experienced and withstood the first wave of the most ferocious attack of the Japanese army. The mortar formed an invisible wall behind the barbed wire, and the Japanese soldiers who broke through the barbed wire took off the clothes of the dead and wrapped themselves around it, and several people tried to overturn the wooden fence, and such a conspicuous target immediately attracted a string of bullets.

Blood mist mingles with smoke, and the constant firing of flares blends day and night.

The air wave from the explosion blew up puffs of smoke and dust. Chen Yu, who barely felt better, returned to his position along the trench, and there were people around him who carried or carried the wounded off the position.

In the stretcher team that kept shuttling in the trenches, Chen Yu pulled out the old immortal guy among them, bent over his waist, causing his already short body to be even thinner, and the veterinarian leaned on the inner wall of the trench and looked back, revealing a trace of weakness in his cloudy eyes.

"What are you doing here, without a gas mask, looking for death?"

In the face of Chen Yu's questioning, the veterinarian was not as dull as annoyed, and stretched out his withered big finger to point ahead: "There are wounded people there, I will help transport the wounded, more." ”

"Do you want your old bones for help?" Chen Yu waved his hand to drive the veterinarian away: "The more than 2,000 old men in the regiment haven't died yet, it's not your turn to come out and pick up the corpses, go back!" ”

"I just want to help."

Chen Yu casually grabbed a person from the stretcher team shuttling around him: "Take this old guy down, he walks on crutches by himself, and he is tired of being patient?" ”

The veterinarian was ripped off his position and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "I just want to help, I want to help." ”

The battle was still going on, and Chen Yu didn't have more time to comfort that old thing, so he could only let people take him off the battlefield. The young man is not dead yet, and it is not his turn to go to the battlefield as an old fellow.

The barbed wire could not stop the Japanese army, and soon the wooden fence was blown over, and the barbed wire had no room to play, and the Japanese follow-up attacking troops formed a battle formation as much as possible and slowly advanced to the high ground. The Japanese soldiers, wearing gas masks like demons, had a terrifying high will to attack, and even if the vanguard attack was frustrated, it did not slow down the attack.

The Japanese continued the follow-up attack, and the pressure on the position of the second battalion rose sharply.

Drilling into the annoying command fortifications, Chen Yu said, "How is it? ”

The gas mask suppressed the annoying voice very hoarsely: "You can still hold on, this poisonous gas is too choking, half of the people do not have gas masks, so they can only carry it and beat it." Fortunately, it was just a gas bomb, and if the gas bomb position would not be able to carry it for long. ”

"Let the people without gas masks retreat, inform Ah Yi to let the flank cover of the convoy, wait for the smoke to clear first, people can't choke to death on the position, the gains outweigh the losses."
