Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

The crazy shelling that lasted for nearly half an hour made many soldiers in the tunnel feel as if they had lost their hearing.From the soldiers' ears, apart from the buzzing sound, it seemed that they could no longer hear other sounds.

At this moment, a hurried whistle came from outside the tunnel, and those veterans who had closed their eyes and rested turned over and shouted: "Get up, get out quickly! The little devil is coming up soon! Hurry up, be quick!"

On the battlefield, whistles and trumpets often mean orders.In the completely ignorant state of some recruits, these veterans dragged and dragged all the recruits out of the tunnel and began to enter the blocking trenches they were in charge of.

Looking at the many collapsed trenches after being ravaged by artillery fire, these veterans also hurriedly said: "Don't lie on your stomach, quickly repair these fortifications. Remember, if you want to survive on the battlefield, fortifications are also a life-saving thing.

While it will take some time for the little devil to come up, quickly repair the fortifications and repair this trench, and maybe you will be saved later.Hurry up, don't stand still, hurry up and strengthen the fortifications! "

While talking, the veteran of the reconnaissance battalion held the shovel placed in the cat's ear hole, and quickly repaired and strengthened the collapsed fortifications.With someone teaching them, the soldiers of these garrison regiments can naturally follow suit.

While the Eighth Route Army was reinforcing and repairing the bombed fortifications, an infantry brigade in charge of the first round of attack also stooped to the blocking position in the form of skirmishers.Even if the sight is not good, many little devils walk very carefully.

At this moment, in the blocking position, apart from the sound of shovel digging and slapping, some full-time security scouts were listening carefully to the movement in the front position.Even in front of the position, if there are some sporadic flames scattered around.

Just when they entered the shooting range of 200 meters, many attacking Japanese troops suddenly kicked some empty cans.The sound of ding ding dongdong seems to be particularly harsh under the condition that both parties are suppressed.

Just when a Japanese army sergeant was about to order the soldiers to be careful, the sound of ding ding dong dong sounded contagious, and soon resounded in the marching Japanese army.This made many Japanese soldiers feel that they were afraid of being exposed.

The alert sentry who also heard the voice quickly sent an order: "The little devil is coming up, ready to fight!"

The voice of the sentinel came out, and many soldiers who were originally reinforcing the fortifications directly threw their shovels into the cat's ear hole.The guns placed next to the tunnel were quickly placed on the trenches that had just been leveled and repaired, quietly waiting for the order to fire.

When the sound of ding ding dong dong increased on the position, the company commander in charge said: "Two flares!"

The signal soldier staying beside the company commander quickly fired two flares into the sky ahead.As the flares soared into the air, the Japanese soldiers who touched the blocking position immediately felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, the platoon leaders in countless trenches shouted: "Fight!"

The machine gunners who were ready to shoot aimed their guns at the relatively densely populated Japanese formations the moment the flares vacated.As for the other riflemen, they each locked their own shooting targets.

When the sound of "beating" came, all the soldiers on the ground quickly pulled the triggers in their hands.The flames of intertwined bullets, like insignificant meteors, shot towards the exposed Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army, who was also not slow to react, also launched an attack when they saw the flares rising into the air.The bullets in the hands of the soldiers on both sides were like two convective flames, covering the entire blocking position in a fiery red color.

The commanders of both sides watched the first collision between the two sides calmly.It's just that compared to the calmness of the reconnaissance battalion commander, Sakai, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, seemed somewhat shocked.He really realized that this eight-way team is very unusual.

Ordinary national army troops are very unsuitable for night combat.Things like flares are rarely issued by troops.But the troops guarding the blocking position in front of them can even fire flares from time to time to provide reference for the shooters.

In this case, as the attacking party, it is undoubtedly very disadvantageous!This also means that if he wants to take down the blocking position in front of him, he will probably hurt his brigade! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Under the pitch-black night, the moment the bullet is shot out of the barrel, there will be a life-threatening flame.But at the blocking position outside the city at this moment, the dazzling light from the two torrents of bullets and flames made everyone in the position be extra cautious.

The flares that rise from time to time will always cause a new round of torrents of bullets.The sound of guns, screams, roars, cursing and other sounds made this night particularly restless, and it also attracted attention from everywhere.

The regiment of the 116th Division who had had dinner and was resting, when the Japanese army launched shelling on the blocking positions outside the city, even though many soldiers felt exhausted, they still cheered up and paid attention to the sound of guns and artillery outside the city.

The head of the first group who also just fell asleep, even if he didn't receive any notice, still found the headquarters where Li Xiangdong was.A little curiously said: "Brigade Commander Li, is it our troops exchanging fire with the little devils outside the city?"

'Why are you here!Yes, the sound of the guns came from the blocking position outside the city.However, the situation is still under control now, you should continue to rest.If there is a task, I will send someone to notify you at any time. '

Hearing Li Xiangdong's words, the first regiment leader smiled wryly and said, "How can we rest in peace with such a commotion outside the city? When we came here earlier, our regiment had already assembled, and we are just waiting for you to assign tasks!"

As the main force of the Eighth Route Army, there are undoubtedly many veterans with actual combat experience in the regiment.They all know that at this time, no matter how sleepy they are, they must persevere.Maybe they have combat missions at any time, so they must be ready at all times.

'Also, in this case, you probably won't be able to sleep either.However, I deployed a scout battalion and a garrison regiment outside the city.Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the reconnaissance battalion has not sent a telegram for help.

In fact, the blocking position was set up outside the city to buy time for you to enter the city.Now that you have arrived, in fact, they can withdraw from the battle at any time, return to the city and continue to fight against the little devils.

It's just that the reconnaissance battalion felt that they could fight against the vanguard of the little devils, so I agreed with them to stay in the blocking position.After all, it took a lot of effort to build that blocking position, so we can't just give up like this!

And besides our troops in the city, there are still many young men who stayed behind to serve as our logistics.Compared with letting the little devil bombard Zhengzhou City, it is better to use the blocking position outside the city to consume some of the little devil's shells! '

Compared with the difficulty of the Eighth Route Army transporting supplies to the front line, it is even more difficult for the Japanese army to attack Zhengzhou to supply supplies.At least Li Xiangdong knew that the 117th Division commanded by Xu Xiangqian was now intensifying the harassment and destruction of the Japanese supply lines.

It can be said that the ammunition in the hands of the little devil is also in the situation of one shot and one shot less.Compared with bombarding the blocking position, Li Xiangdong was naturally unwilling to let the little devil pour the shells into Zhengzhou city.

After listening to Li Xiangdong's explanation, the head of the first regiment also continued: "Then our regiment will continue to stand by?"

'Not on standby!It is to continue to rest!After driving such a long distance, you should take a good rest and store up your strength.If nothing else happened, if the little devil's attack didn't go well tonight, he might start retreating towards Kaifeng tomorrow.

At that time, the front finger should give the order to pursue.As for our reconnaissance brigade, we may have other tasks in the future.Therefore, I am afraid that the affairs in Zhengzhou will need to be handed over to your group.So, your task tonight is to rest! '

'You want to go? '

Knowing that the reconnaissance brigade had another mission, the head of the first regiment also seemed very surprised.As the main head of the Eighth Route Army, he knew very well that the reconnaissance brigade was the trump card unit of the independent column, and the existence of this unit was indispensable in every battle.

But now that the Battle of Henan has just started, they have other tasks, which makes the first regiment leader also very curious, what tasks will the headquarters give to the reconnaissance brigade at this time?Could it be that it was the task of chasing down the Japanese army?

Facing the inquiry from the head of the regiment, Li Xiangdong shook his head with a smile and said: "This mission cannot be announced to the public yet. In short, the reconnaissance regiment I brought with me will stay here for another day at most until the main force of your division arrives." arrival.

Once your division enters the territory of Zhengzhou, we will take the opportunity to retreat and hand over the defense of Zhengzhou to your division.As for our next mission, we can't reveal it yet.Please forgive me for this point! "

'fine!Confidentiality discipline, I understand! '

As the head of the main team, he naturally knew the reason why Li Xiangdong refused to disclose it must be because the next mission of the reconnaissance brigade must be kept secret.In this case, the head of the first group will naturally not investigate too much.

After all, he is the main head of the 116th division, while Li Xiangdong in front of him is the reconnaissance brigade commander of the independent column.In terms of rank and troops, it is still very different from him.He was already very content to be so polite to him.

Compared with today, most of the division commanders and political commissars of the 116th Division have the rank of major general. Li Xiangdong, who is the commander of the reconnaissance brigade, also has the rank of major general recognized by the national government.This also means that Li Xiangdong can also be called the chief in front of him.

After meeting with Li Xiangdong, Commander Zhu also quickly returned to the barracks that had been vacated for them to rest.Seeing the return of the regiment leader, several main battalion commanders also asked what kind of combat mission they had next.

As a result, Commander Zhu also said very happily: "There should be no combat missions tonight, you battalions should continue to rest! Rest well tonight, starting tomorrow, we are afraid that we will have new combat missions."

After talking to these main battalion commanders about the situation outside the city and the news obtained from the meeting with Li Xiangdong, these battalion commanders felt a little surprised, but didn't say much.After all, their battalions were indeed exhausted.

After redisbanding and returning to the camp to rest, the sound of guns outside the city continued.The officers and soldiers of the third garrison regiment who cooperated with the reconnaissance battalion gradually adapted to this cruel battle after experiencing confusion and fear.

As those veterans said, it is useless to be afraid at this time, the only thing you can do is to use the weapons in your hands to kill those attacking little devils as much as possible.If you don't kill the little devils, the little devils may kill them!

Seeing that the infantry battalion that launched the attack first had basically all died on the way to attack, Sakai said coldly, "Order the artillery unit, prepare for the artillery attack!"

'General, our troops are still attacking on the ground now! '

'If you have observed carefully, you should know that there are not many people left in the brigade of soldiers on the ground.After blowing the whistle for retreat, the artillery immediately launched shelling.

I know that this will cause casualties to our attacking force.But without such shelling, we would not be able to kill the Eighth Route Army on the ground at all.They built strong anti-gun tunnels on the position, and retreating early will only give them time to escape. '

Facing Sakai's cold answer, the combat staff officer of the infantry brigade also couldn't say much.They all knew that this was a risky but effective way of bombardment.It's just that, it is possible to blow up one's own attacking infantry!

Also seeing the front of the position, there were not many little devils who could stand. Some machine gunners on the blocking position also began to shift positions under the order of the company platoon leader.Doing this is also to avoid the sudden shelling of the little devils.

Just when the gunfire gradually subsided, the veterans of the reconnaissance battalion staying in the blocking position soon heard the urgent whistle from below.They, who often fought against the Japanese army, knew that this was the whistle for the little devils to retreat.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "The little devil has withdrawn, we have to prepare to enter the pit, the little devil is afraid that he will be bombarded!"
