The noise around made the veteran's head dazed, and a cannonball landed not far from him, and his brain made a famous sound, and the veteran who ran to the corner shook his head and raised his head to look at the drowsy sky.

Buzz.

Japanese planes came.

The Japanese offensive pattern was still as expected, with artillery bombardment, aircraft bombing, and infantry following tanks.

7 a.m.

The Japanese offensive on all fronts began.

The 11th Cavalry Wing began to launch a diversionary attack on the 51st Division of the 74th Army in front, and the degree of artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment was far less than that southeast of Luodian. Fortunately, during the battle for Luodian, in order to deal with the Japanese aircraft, the national army hollowed out the entire underground of Luodian and built a large number of tunnels to resist the bombing of Japanese aircraft and artillery.

Even after retreating some distance, they still dug a lot of tunnels and built a lot of bunker fortifications.

However, the Japanese bombardment was so sudden that there was no warning, many soldiers of the 51st Division had just woken up, and the veterans were still chatting in the cooking class.

The veterans rushed to the position of the newly formed company along the low wall and the stone wall, and everywhere there were soldiers running in the direction of the position, and there were all kinds of soldiers from each company.

He jumped into the trench, drilled into the tunnel, and found that many soldiers had gathered in the tunnel, these soldiers probably did not know each other, looking at each other blankly, they came from various companies, and the shelling of the Japanese devils was too sudden without warning.

"Each company should follow its own direction, hurry up, the Japanese devils are coming."

Someone shouted loudly in the tunnel.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire was not heard clearly, and the soldier who gave the order squatted in the tunnel, running all the way, shouting all the way, and shouting loudly when he met the soldier.

There are wooden signs on the walls with directions for soldiers to identify.

The veterans knew that their position was in front of them, and along the tunnel, they met many soldiers on the way, and through these soldiers, they rushed to the mouth of the tunnel, and a strong wind swept the rain and rushed out of the tunnel, and the whole world was shrouded in anti-inflammatory.

Boom, the shells exploded in their ears, some soldiers carried guns, quickly ran in the direction of the veterans, the shells exploded around them, the waves of black smoke and rain almost swallowed them, they rushed out of the smoke formed by the explosion of the shells, squatted down close to the veterans, and quickly got into the tunnel.

The veteran gritted his teeth and ran quickly along the trench, and along the way he saw the corpses of soldiers who had not had time to run, killed by the Japanese devil's cannons, lying on the ground, and those whose legs had been blown off, and who couldn't run, so they sat on the ground with their guns in their arms.

Running all the way down the trench, digging into a tunnel, continuing to run deeper, soon came to the position of the newly formed company.

"Veteran, where have you been, how slow have you been, take a look at your platoon of soldiers and take them into the position!"

As soon as the veteran arrived in the tunnel, Xia Yuan saw him.

"Yes!"

The veteran did not explain, did not waste time, and shouted: "Second row, follow me!" ”

A group of soldiers hurled and ran forward.

Niu Qian and Platoon Commander Li had already led people to wait in front of their respective tunnels.

"Company commander, are the Japanese devils preparing to attack us?" The second stunned man pulled his throat, but fortunately, the Japanese bombed the villages in the rear, and the number of shells falling on the position was relatively small, and the sound was not very loud.

"The Japanese devils have launched a general attack, and when the fight starts, you will follow me."

Xia Yuan shouted and told him to wait where he was, while he felt into the trench and looked into the distance through the hazy smoke of gunpowder.

The distant village was also bombed by the Japanese army, and it was strange to see where the Japanese troops were, so the scouts on the front line brought a report.

"The troops of the Japanese devils appeared, right in front of us, about two kilometers in the direction, with tanks, and armored vehicles."

"It's still coming quickly, I'm stunned, I'll give you a notice, and order everyone to get ready for battle."

"Yes!"

The second stunned man ran along the trench to the front.

Xia Yuan stayed in place, his eyes were slightly condensed, this was a manifestation of the eagle eye being opened, the line of sight converged a little, there were scouts from their company in the village in front, two kilometers away, there were also their scouts, the Japanese army sent offensive troops, and the tanks cooperated, and the Japanese army began to fight on a large scale.

He glanced at the time on his watch, a little after seven.

The bombing by Japanese planes stopped, the smoke of gunpowder drifted on the battlefield, and the stagnant water on the positions was muddy.

The scout in front brought back the message.

The Japanese army is coming.

But they did not attack, and several tanks pressed on the national defenses.

"Keep investigating." While Xia Yuan gave orders to the scouts, he asked the platoon commanders to count the casualties.

In the first round of bombardment by the Japanese army, only one person of the newly formed company died, and four people were slightly injured, and the casualties were not high, the main reason was that the Japanese bombed the village and the main positions in the rear, and the forward positions were not within the scope of their bombing, and secondly, they evaded quite in time.

"The Japanese army has not launched an attack, it is still on the periphery, what do they want to do?"

The veteran looked at the situation on the front line and could not see the movement of the Japanese army, but at this moment, the Japanese army had occupied the village in front, and the scout lay on the anticline and cautiously poked out half of his head.

"Wait a minute, the Japanese army is estimated to attack soon." Xia Yuan couldn't figure out what the Japanese army was thinking, they had already parked their tanks at the door of their homes and didn't attack, so it was obviously unreasonable.

Boom!

Suddenly, a dull sound came from behind them.

Shells flew out of the village behind them, dragging them in a long arc and smashing into the Japanese positions.

"It's our artillery!"

After fighting for so long, it was the first time that Xia Yuan had seen their artillery firing at the Japanese army.

From the Korean battlefield to the anti-Japanese battlefield, no matter which battle, their weapons and firepower are far inferior to the enemy, as for the artillery, it is even less pitiful, and slowly, he will get used to it.

The artillery of the Nationalist Army only bombarded the Japanese army for a short time, and then, the artillery of the Japanese devils hit it, and the earth trembled greatly, and the soldiers in the tunnel seemed to be sitting in a drum.

"The Japanese devil infantry is coming!"

The scout brought back quite important information.

The Japanese launched an offensive on the positions.

The soldiers quickly rushed out of the tunnel, and were met by Japanese tanks.

It is said that it is a Japanese tank, but in fact, it is a small Vickers tank imported by the Japanese army from Britain and Italy, the skin is quite thin, and if the cluster grenade is blown up, it will be over. This kind of original police equipment was fooled to the Japanese by the Italian master, and he bought a lot of it.

This tank is an old antique, in 1932, during the first Battle of Songhu, the Japanese armored troops were very shabby, this kind of police was put into use as a weapon of war, the result can be imagined, the performance in the Songhu battlefield was not good, and there was less equipment behind.

In the 37th Songhu War, the Japanese tanks began to upgrade, no longer this crispy tank, but the more advanced Type 89 medium tank, Type 95 light tank, and Type 97 medium tank.

The Nationalist army was armed with anti-tank weapons, German-made 37mm anti-tank guns.

The 51st Division was also equipped, but the new company did not.

However, the Japanese army used the Vickers small tank, which had a thin skin and did not need anti-tank guns at all.

Xia Yuan didn't know anything about tanks, he didn't have anti-tank weapons, he understood that he had to use cluster grenades, and the commander of the 301st Regiment took a fancy to him, and gave him a lot of grenade support, making cluster grenades, as long as the tank was close to the position, Xia Yuan had the ability to throw this thing on the armor of the tank.

"Dumbfounded, go get a grenade!"

The second stunned man had already become Xia Yuan's deputy, and ran out of the tunnel carrying a box of grenades.

Whoosh!

The heavy machine guns equipped on the Japanese devil tanks began to suppress the national troops on the position, and a squadron of Japanese troops followed two tanks to attack the position, and the Japanese squadron leader held a command knife in his hand, followed behind the tank, and ordered the soldiers to speed up.

They did not meet with resistance from the Nationalist soldiers, the attack went quite smoothly, the bullets from the heavy machine guns hit the bunkers in the trenches, the popping sound was non-stop, the dirt was scattered, and it was everywhere.

The soldiers were all hiding in the trenches, pinching grenades and holding guns, waiting for Xia Yuan's order.

"Calm down, don't show my head, the Japanese devils want to come, let them come, but when the fight starts, no one will encourage me."

Platoon Commander Li's fighting style is relatively strong, and he is the master who fights and does not want to die.

Xia Yuan saw the shadow of Ma Da in him.

The attacking troops of the Japanese devils pressed over, and the sixth company led by the commander of the Huang Company on the flank had already exchanged fire with the Japanese devils, and the roar was non-stop, and the battle was particularly fierce.

The newly formed company can still calm down, mainly because of Xia Yuan, a person has a high prestige in the company, which is quite beneficial to commanding operations, and in addition, Xia Yuan let Platoon Commander Li, veteran, and Niu Qian serve as the platoon commanders of three platoons, and the command level is his people, so the company is quite united.

He used a rope to tie several grenades together, and a rudimentary cluster grenade was ready.

Low cost, high power, and easy to make are the benefits of cluster grenades.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army liked this thing very much, most of their grenades were homemade, and the grenades were stuffed with black powder, and the power was not good, so they tied the grenades together, and the power was greater.

Two Japanese tanks were oncoming, followed by a large number of infantry.

Xia Yuan has little experience in dealing with tanks.

Except for Changjin Lake, there have been encounters with American tanks, and the others have basically not fought much, but when they were in the 180th Division, they ambushed American tanks once, but they used Bazooka, which was a tank killer.

For the first time in the face of Japanese tanks, especially this crispy tank.

A cluster grenade will be able to reimburse such a tank.

The Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the position, and the calm of the position was beyond the expectations of the Japanese army, so the Japanese infantry was quite careful when attacking, bowing their bodies, and once they were resisted by the national army, they could quickly lie down and return fire.

The grenade will always come, Xia Yuan pinched the cluster grenade, threw it out after pulling it, the grenade flew through the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and drizzle, and smashed steadily on the front of the Japanese devil's tank, with a huge bang, you can hear the explosion, with the trembling sound of metal, billowing smoke coming out of the tank.

"Hit!"

This was like a signal, and the Nationalist soldiers hiding in the trenches quickly poked their heads out, fired at the Japanese troops, and threw grenades. The machine-gun positions in the rear began to roar, one heavy machine gun, six light machine guns, and the strafing bullets were overwhelming.

The Japanese army was caught off guard, the Japanese soldiers walking in the front row were strafed by machine guns, the caliber of light and heavy machine guns was good, and the bullets that were swishing and swishing were coming, and some Japanese soldiers reacted quickly and quickly lay on the ground, and those who reacted slowly were pierced by the bullets fired by the national army.

Both light machine guns and heavy machine guns were carried out with only one simple round of rapid fire, and after rapid fire, the suppressed Japanese troops were charged by the Nationalist army.

The distance between the front and rear was only more than ten meters, and the soldiers of the Japanese devils fired in a hurry, and it was too late, and the soldiers of the newly formed company of the national army were all 51 divisions, full of iron and blood, and as soon as the order to attack sounded, they rushed out of the bunkers one after another, and the muzzles of their guns were all carrying bright bayonets.

White-knuckle warfare is the most tragic and the most effective, which can reduce casualties, as long as it is mixed into a pot of porridge, the artillery of the Japanese devils will not dare to bomb, and their tank machine guns will not dare to fire indiscriminately.

A Japanese squadron surprised Xia Yuan, but this Japanese squadron was fighting the positions of two companies of the national army.

"The ambition is not small, I'm here, and I'll kill them all in one round! Rush, don't let them run! ”

Xia Yuan took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese army with a bayonet.

His charge was very strong, he jumped in stride, and even stepped out a few meters away, rushing in front of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldier raised his gun in a panic and pushed forward, but Xia Yuan's feet were more sharp than his gun, and the gun had not yet been pushed out, and the big foot hit him, hitting a person on his back.

The spear with a bayonet pierced the Japanese devil's body.

All this happened so suddenly, the soldier next to the Japanese army did not react, he looked at Xia Yuan, who was one meter and eight years old, with a little nervousness, holding a 38-type rifle that was about the same length as his body, and let out a strange scream, stabbing Xia Yuan's chest, in fact, aiming at Xia Yuan's stomach.

Stabbing trick!

This is all the leftover from Xia Yuan's play.

Obviously, this Japanese soldier is a veteran, and his stabbing skills are still quite proficient, the bayonet was pushed into the air, and the muzzle of the gun was suddenly reversed, aiming at Xia Yuan's stomach, and stabbing down.

Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, he strode forward, blocked his attack, and stepped forward with an arrow step, his strength, speed, and reaction were unparalleled, and with one move, the Japanese devil's gun was almost collected.

"When you get to the battlefield, you don't even have to catch the gun, I'll send you to see Hades!"

"Nani!"

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, the Japanese soldier raised his head suddenly, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then, the tingling pain in his abdomen made him wake up from his surprise, and when he looked down, the bayonet had been withdrawn from his stomach, and a feeling of weakness surged to his limbs, and his whole body was covered in pain.
