Therefore, it is better to stop shooting for the time being and wait for the shelling of the Japanese devils to pass, but unfortunately the commander of the fourth company did not calm down.

With the sound of the Japanese army's flat-firing guns, with a bang, a huge shock wave exploded in front, Xia Yuan raised his head slightly, and saw another machine gun point of the fourth company disappearing under the Japanese army's flat-firing guns.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese machine guns were like two red-hot chains, firing wildly from the opposite bank to the positions of the national army, and the long whips were thrown on the positions of the four companies, and they hit a large area of dirt with a puff, like floating poplars, one after another.

"Brother Yuan!" The scholar was blown up by the Japanese devil's shells and dodged everywhere, and he didn't even bother to support the grenadiers, curled up, hiding behind the cover and shivering.

"Hold on! Just wait for the Japanese devils to cross the river! Xia Yuan shouted, he could hear the scholar's words clearly, but the scholar couldn't hear what he was saying.

The cannon rumbled, the gunfire was louder than the sound of firecrackers for the New Year, and the scholar's body couldn't stop trembling, just like when he first went to the battlefield, his whole body trembled.

The platoon leader touched the scholar's side: "Don't be afraid, just listen carefully to the sound of the cannonball falling, if the sound is loud, it means that it is close to you, and if the sound is small, it means that it is far away from you." ”

"What, what's big, what's small."

The scholar couldn't hear clearly, his face was dazed, and his face was frightened by the Japanese bombardment, and a long line of people pulled him into the horns formed by a ruin, and the rumbling sound became dull here.

The platoon commander repeated what he had just said, and then said, "Stinky boy, the machine gun is much more powerful than the gun, and you will understand when you charge." ”

On the other side, the machine guns of the Japanese devils were rampant, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, Xia Yuan couldn't see it very clearly, and the eagle eye could only barely see it, so he raised his gun to shoot, and the first shot missed, and the machine gun bullets of the Japanese devils swept over, and he had to shrink back, and when he heard the sound of bullets hitting the bunker, he couldn't help frowning.

The sound of artillery rumbled, gradually subsided, the figure of the Japanese devil appeared on the river, the attacking Japanese army had only one detachment, but the fire behind the Japanese devil was extremely fierce, the fourth company suffered heavy casualties after withstanding a round of shelling, a platoon was almost blown up, and there were seven or eight broken corpses lying at the position of the machine gun fire point, some of which were unrecognizable.

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked, as soon as the cannon stopped, as soon as the morning wind blew, the smoke drifted away a lot, and the eagle eye saw the Japanese machine-gun fire clearly, aimed and pulled the trigger, and after knocking out the machine gun fire of a Japanese soldier, he quickly transferred with the gun.

With a bang, the bunker behind him was shelled by the Japanese army.

"The artillery of the little Japanese devils reacted too quickly, and their observers on the other side of the river were very powerful."

Xia Yuan squinted, the cat was behind a pile of stones, looking for the location of the Japanese devil artillery observer, to find out that guy first, if he was not found, the Japanese devil's gunner could always land on the national army position very accurately.

Even scholars may be in danger.

The scholar had no experience in dodging shells, this was the first time he had been bombarded, and the whole person was curled up in a ball, his forehead trembled in fear, and he even forgot what Xia Yuan had explained.

After the bombardment of the Japanese devils ended, the devils began to cross the river, because the river was too narrow, the national army on the other side could clearly see the situation here, so the Japanese devils did not build ships, and sent a detachment of Japanese troops to forcibly cross the river, in addition to a squad of Japanese troops in the rear, shooting at the positions of the four companies resisting, suppressing firepower, and even bombing with grenadiers.

The Japanese anti-aircraft guns aimed at the opposite bank, clearing the machine-gun fire positions of the Nationalists as much as possible.

The battle intensified, Xia Yuan aimed at the Japanese army's firepower point, and constantly pulled the trigger, but he was subjected to continuous shelling by the Japanese devils, and he could only keep changing positions.

"The Japanese devils almost racked their guns at the door of their homes, bullying us for not having guns, right?"

Xia Yuan listened to the rumbling cannon sound and the sound of the cannonballs flying through the sky after the cannonball was smooth, and he could tell that the Japanese devil's gun mount was not far from them.

He pressed the bullet and thought, wait until tonight, go and steal the position of the Japanese devils, not to mention the seized materials or anything, the materials of the Japanese devils are average, and the US army is not comparable to the US army, the US army is so rich that it can be managed for a long time, the Japanese devils are not good, they are also poor, but the national army is poorer, not the government of the national army is poor, but the soldiers are poor, the government of the national army is not poor, and there is a lot of money greedy, but unfortunately it is not used on the ground.

He did not strike at the machine gun fire of the Japanese devils again, the machine gun fire can only produce a suppressive effect, and the machine gun fire that shoots the Japanese devils will even attract artillery bombardment, and the gains outweigh the losses, the ultimate goal of the Japanese devils is to cross the river, and they only need to prevent the Japanese devils from crossing the river, no matter how many machine guns they have, the machine guns will not be able to cross the river after all, and what will cross the river is only the bullets that are spit out from the machine guns.

A platoon of the fourth company suffered heavy casualties, and after suffering a round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, the machine gun fire point was knocked out by the Japanese devil's flat-fire guns, and the fortifications built by ordinary soldiers were all destroyed, and the ground was almost leveled.

In such a difficult situation, it was difficult for a platoon of surviving soldiers to form a serious obstacle to the forced crossing of the river by the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops on the river had reached the middle position, not to mention the short stature of the Japanese devils, but they were not ambiguous at all when they charged, and they rushed forward completely without their lives, they held their guns high, without any aiming, and opened fire.

"The Japanese devils rushed up and called the second platoon to come and support!" The hat of the fourth company commander was blown out by the air wave generated by the shells, fell to the ground, and was covered with dirt, and his pupils constricted when he looked up and saw the attacking Japanese soldiers.

The resistance of the Nationalist army had little effect, and the second echelon of the Japanese army had already been launched, and the two echelons of Japanese troops numbered more than 20 people, scattered to attack the positions of the Nationalist army. After the battle of Luodian, the fourth company arrived here with less than 100 troops, only one platoon was still full, but it suffered a round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, and the Japanese fire suppression, after the anti-aircraft gun fire, the first platoon lost two squads of troops, which was completely insufficient to resist the Japanese attack.

The commander of the fourth company had to transfer the second platoon over and use it for defense.

"Company commander, the second platoon is gone."

"What!"

The news from the scouts surprised the commander of the fourth company, after the battle of Luodian, more than half of the casualties in the second platoon were lost, and there was still a squad of troops left, so why did he suddenly say that there was no more.

"All dead, dead under the fire of the Japanese devils."

A cannonball fell, boomed, and exploded in front of them, forming a wave of air that tore off the scout's helmet, and he hurriedly held on, roaring loudly, a bullet swishing through the scout's head, and blood splattered on the black cheeks of the fourth company commander.

He was stunned, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Is there any one alive, go and call the third row." ”

Xia Yuan quickly pulled the bolt, knocked out a rushing Japanese soldier, rushed out of the rubble, and quickly approached the forward position of the fourth company, the position of the fourth company was more than a hundred meters away from them, plus the width of the river, with his strength, he could not throw the grenade that far, he needed to get closer.

Sharp, he heard the voice of the commander of the fourth company, and looked sideways, the position of the fourth company was seriously destroyed by the Japanese artillery shells, a platoon was basically killed and wounded, and many of those lying on the ground were missing arms and legs.

The wounded were covered in the dirt rolled up by the ensuing shells, and the soldiers around him pulled him out of the dirt with little breath left.

Most of the living were wounded, lying in trenches less than half a man high, their clothes stained with blood and stained with black-brown soil.

Xia Yuan shot quickly, emptied the four bullets in the magazine, and without caring about changing the bullets, the Japanese devil's cannon fell, Xia Yuan used the sound to distinguish the position, distinguish the direction in which the Japanese shell fell, kicked the soil under his feet hard, and rolled tactically in the soft soil that was overturned by the shell, and rolled into a crater.

"Company Commander Zhou, reinforcements from the third company will arrive soon, and then insist on it."

Xia Yuan rolled out of the crater, rolled into the rudimentary bunker, held the gun, exhaled slightly, and shouted loudly.

"What? What reinforcements? The commander of the fourth company was so crushed by the bullets of the Japanese devils that he couldn't raise his head, squatted on the ground with his gun, hooked his head in the trench, and shouted loudly.

"Reinforcements from the third company will arrive soon." Xia Yuan spit out the dirt in his mouth, groped in the bullet magazine on his body, the bullets were scattered, and the bullets in the magazine ran out, so he had to pull the bolt and press the bullets into it one by one.

The 38 cover is a rotating rear pull bolt, the magazine is fed, you can put five bullets directly in the magazine, shoot a shot, pull the bolt to exit the cartridge case, and continue to shoot with a bullet on the top, there are bullet clips containing five bullets, directly put them on the magazine and press them, you can press them in, but his bullet clips are used up, and they can only be plugged one by one.

In this way, the trouble of changing bullets is increased.

Rao was like this, his reload speed was still very fast, pressed the bullet, turned to aim at the Japanese soldier in the water, and a Japanese soldier fell down with the sound of gunfire.

The fourth company commander stared at the Japanese soldiers in the water, and his eyes widened: "I have long heard that guy Lu Jingguang say that he picked up a good treasure on the battlefield and made him a deputy company commander, you are the deputy company commander of Xia?" ”

"Yes."

Xia Yuan answered, pulled the bolt and withdrew the cartridge case, put a bullet on the top, pulled the trigger, and the bullet swished out, hitting a Japanese devil with a plaster flag on the muzzle.

"Pretty." The commander of the fourth company shouted: "Can you knock out the machine gun?" ”

"No, knock out the machine gun, and the shells of the Japanese devils will come."

A cannonball landed not far from them, the earth clanged and smashed on the steel helmet, Xia Yuan squatted down, took out a grenade, shouted while pulling the line, and threw it out.

Rumble.

The grenade did not fall into the water, but exploded in mid-air, and the broken shrapnel splashed everywhere, poofing into the water, or piercing the body of the Japanese soldier, and a grenade reimbursed three Japanese devils, and the eyes of the fourth company commander widened and were dumbfounded.

When the Japanese attacked, they had already thrown a round of grenades, but few soldiers pinched the air and exploded mines, the power of the self-made grenades itself was limited, after falling into the water, the power was greatly reduced, it was difficult to blow up people, they could only eliminate enough Japanese troops as much as possible by shooting, but they themselves were suppressed by the fire of the Japanese devils, especially after suffering a round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, with heavy casualties, they were basically unable to resist the Japanese attack.

But Xia Yuan's appearance made him see a line of sacrifice, and a grenade killed three Japanese soldiers.

The commander of the fourth company shouted: "Grenades, quickly bring all the grenades!" ”

He is a smart man, Xia Yuan can pinch the air and explode thunder, and the bomb is very accurate, there are only more than 20 Japanese troops attacking, and a few more grenades can reimburse all the Japanese devils.

He shouted, looked at the position, everywhere there were the corpses of a platoon of soldiers of the fourth company, severed limbs and mutilated corpses, the Japanese army used large-caliber howitzers to shell the positions of the 18th Brigade deployed along the river, including the positions of the fourth company.

He looked at it blankly, crawled to the corpse of a soldier, ripped off the grenade on his body and threw it to Xia Yuan.

There were not many grenades left on Xia Yuan's body, and after throwing out three, the Japanese army was almost crippled by the first troops, and the grenades on his body were used up, and the grenades thrown by the fourth company commander were too timely.

He first used the 38 style to knock out several Japanese soldiers who were still alive in the front squad of the Japanese devils, and soon, the bodies of the Japanese devils floated on the tumbling river that was blown up by the grenade.

The enemy also noticed a sudden increase in casualties among the vanguard, and after some observation, he soon noticed that a guy with very accurate bomb throwing and shooting appeared on the position of the national army, and the machine gun bullets of the Japanese devils strafed horizontally, crackling on the dirt in front of him.

The commander of the fourth company grabbed the corpses of a platoon of soldiers and piled them on top of their bunkers to reinforce them, and now there was soft dirt everywhere, and it was already difficult to build a position again, which was a last resort.

"Hide here!"

The commander of the fourth company shouted, dragging Xia Yuan over, and the two of them squatted on the ground, a series of bullets were fired overhead, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood floated in the air.

"Attack!"

Xia Yuan heard the sound of the Japanese devils attacking again, he grabbed the gun and shouted: "Fourth Company Commander, leave it to me, you take the wounded and withdraw first, the support of the Third Company should come soon, I can hold it." ”

"You keep a fart, the machine guns and cannons of the Japanese devils are staring at you, and if you take your head, their cannons will come over." The commander of the fourth company pulled his almost hoarse voice, looked around, lay down in the trench and touched forward, dragged the light machine gun half-buried in the soil, and shouted: "In the past, I will attract fire to you, and you will reimburse all the remaining Japanese devils." ”

"I can!"

"No, it's too dangerous, you're a baby bump, you can't have anything, otherwise Lao Lu Ke won't be able to spare me."
