The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Although the theater headquarters sent people to rush to repair the line, Yang Ling and the others were still not moving fast. The train was crawling slowly in Henan, at a speed similar to that of a snail.

The brothers were suffocated in the stuffy tank car. When they stopped at a small station, they opened the door and didn't close it. This allowed them to chat and gamble in the car, and at the same time enjoy the scenery in Henan, those stinky wooden barrels Finally, it is not necessary, and the smell in the car is finally much better.

Because the vicinity of Xuzhou has become a pot of porridge, the people who can't escape are like a long black dragon moving along the railway line to the defense line of Wuhan. Seeing those fleeing people with yellow faces, emaciated faces and hobbling steps, my brothers feel very uncomfortable of.

The troops stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived at the front line Dangshan in May. It was already night when they arrived at the station, and they could already feel the strong battlefield atmosphere here.

As soon as they got off the train, the wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs wailed and were stuffed into the train and pulled back.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and sulfur, and the rumbling trajectory of the light in the distance pierced the night sky from time to time, and the blazing flash made people palpitate.

Text Chapter 356 Battlefield Smoke

The earth was shrouded in darkness, and the messy station was crowded with soldiers from various units. The recruits all turned their eyes to the place where the rumbling cannons sounded, nervous and excited.

"The 302nd Regiment gather here!"

"This side of the first battalion, hurry up!"

……

Soon, the officers of each unit began to shout in the dark night, and the brothers crowded in the station all rushed to their respective officers to gather with the shouts.

From time to time, the cold flashes in the sky are like lightning, and the outlines of the dark houses are like ghosts.

The old smoking gun, the deputy battalion commander with a dry smoking gun in his waist, stood on the platform to rectify the troops, while Yang Ling rushed to the regiment commander Zhang Handuo, and the two walked into the temporary division headquarters of the station to receive orders.

The temporary headquarters of the 51st Division was set up in a low house next to the station. Under the dim light, the division staff were busy working on the map. The originally neat map had been densely drawn with red and blue lines.

Although the troops of the 153rd Brigade, Wang Yaowu, the division commander, arrived a day earlier, he no longer had the flushed face he had when he was in Wuhan. Instead, he looked haggard due to lack of sleep.

"The 301st Regiment is ordered to arrive, please give instructions from the commander!" Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling saluted Master Wang Yaowu.

When Wang Yaowu saw them coming, his frowning finally eased. He pulled them to the front of the map, pointed to a place called Huilongji on the map, and said: "The 305th Regiment has been blocking here for a day, and the casualties are heavy." , you went over overnight to replace them, is there any problem?"

Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling replied in unison: "No problem!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Commander Wang Yaowu was very satisfied when he saw the two young officers. Although they got No.2 during the review in Huangpi, Hubei, their combat effectiveness was not weak.

"Master, which Japanese army is facing us?" Yang Ling always understood that knowing the enemy and the enemy can win a hundred battles, so before leaving, he asked Wang Yaowu this question.

Wang Yaowu replied: "It is the 14th Division under the First Army of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army. The commander of the division is Kenji Doihara. Now Huilongji is fighting us with the 14th Brigade under the 28th Division."

"This is a force with strong combat effectiveness. You must not take it lightly." Wang Yaowu added.

When Yang Ling heard that the front was Kenji Doihara's 14th Division, he immediately realized that this person, who had climbed from a spy colonel to a division commander and general in just four years, was definitely not a good stubble, not only cunning but also vicious , it seems that this time they have met their opponents.

"The 14th Division wants to cut off the Longhai line, control the area west of Xuzhou, and cut off our troops in the fifth theater, so we must block the 14th Division here, otherwise our 60 army in Xuzhou will be finished, so the task is arduous , you must be clear about your responsibilities.”

"Master, please don't worry, the little devils want to copy the rear of our brother troops, and we are not vegetarians! Guaranteed to block them!" The regiment leader Zhang Handuo assured the division commander Wang Yaowu.

Now the Japanese army is using some elite troops to contain the main force of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area, and secretly mobilizes the elite troops to advance in seven directions and attack concentrically, and the rest annihilates the main force of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area.

Now the 14th Division is responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Chinese defenders. As long as the 74th Army can block them, the Chinese troops in the Xuzhou area will be able to withdraw safely, otherwise the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out.

You know, 100% of the Japanese army's national army has been transferred to the North China battlefield. The more than 60 million elite Japanese army is enough to crush everything. Once the [-] troops of the Chinese army are lost, the situation of the confrontation war will be extremely unfavorable.

Both Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling understood the importance of this blocking attack. After bidding farewell to Wang Yaowu, they immediately led the troops towards Huilongji.

There was still light near the station, but after exiting the station, it entered darkness. In order to prevent the brothers from falling behind in the dark, Yang Ling ordered the brothers to walk hand in hand.

The flames of war have left the Xuzhou area devastated, and the roads have been bombed with potholes. It is already May, and the air is warming up. The corpses on the side of the road that were too late to bury emit a stench.

On the way to Huilongji, four or five villages were ignited by raging fires. Many houses had collapsed and turned into rubble. When it comes to the battlefield, it's not just playing tricks, it's cruel.

"There is a situation ahead!"

The third battalion led by Yang Ling walked in front of the whole regiment. Just after passing a burning village, the investigation platoon led by the deputy battalion commander, Old Smoker, sent someone back to report that there was a situation ahead.

"Stop advancing, hide on the spot, and prepare to fight!" Yang Ling didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the third battalion to stop.

The brothers had already trained during the winter training, Yang Ling hadn't finished speaking, and the team that had been advancing along the road had already scattered towards both sides of the road, looking for hiding places.

"Set up the machine gun, hurry up!" Wang Meng, the company commander, even urged to seize a mound and set up the dark machine gun.

Seeing that the brothers responded quickly, Yang Ling was also very satisfied. After waiting for a long time, the investigation platoon sent someone back to report again. It turned out to be a false alarm.

What they found was not the enemy, but the wounded soldiers sent down from Huilongji. They were all members of the 305th Regiment who had arrived earlier.

Zhang Handuo, the regiment commander in the center, saw the troops stop, and ran to the front with the guard platoon to inquire about the situation. Seeing that it was a false alarm, he was relieved. After asking about the situation of some wounded soldiers, he ordered the troops to continue Advance towards the direction of Huilongji.

The sound of the cannons rolled over the ground like summer thunder, and the scorched yellow land trembled from time to time. From time to time, strings of flames appeared on the distant horizon, rushing into the gunpowder smoke that covered half of the sky. In it, it looks majestic and terrifying.

The troops of the 301st Regiment were like a dragon swimming in the dark, winding forward, crossing the bombed-out villages, getting closer and closer to the fierce battle.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke entered the mouths and noses of the brothers. Many recruits were choked and coughed, and some recruits vomited in the face of the rotting corpses by the roadside, leaving only water in their stomachs.

These new recruits screamed that they would not lose to the veterans on the training ground, but now that they have seen the real battlefield, they feel that their feet are weak and their faces are pale.

Seeing the embarrassment of the new recruits, the veterans all laughed, and finally regained a little face. The calmness of the veterans made the depressed team finally regain a little vitality.

Text Chapter 357 Huilongji

Gunpowder smoke overturned the entire battlefield like black mist, orange flames burst out from the burning village, and the air was filled with the smell of scorched and dead people.

Many livestock that did not escape the fire were blown to pieces, bloody flesh was scattered everywhere, the potholed road was covered with bullet craters, and the fluffy soil was also charred and black.

The team of the 20st Regiment moved forward in the darkness for about [-] miles, and finally arrived near the battlefield of Huilongji. The naked eyes could already clearly see the bright lights rising on the horizon not far away.

These bright lights flashed fiercely, and the dazzling light illuminated the land transparently. The brothers could see the scorched earth all over the place and the stumped limbs lying on the ground in disorder.

"Fire all the guns!"

The voices of the veteran platoon leaders rang out one after another in the darkness.

Although the well-trained recruits were terrified by the cruel battlefield, they subconsciously pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets into the chamber, ready to fight at any time.

The troops are still making their way into the battlefield where the fire is fiercely exchanged, and the scorching air waves rushing towards the face make people feel that they are no longer cold, but like stepping into a steamer that can roast people, sweat flows down the necks of the brothers. They unbuttoned their collars to allow themselves to breathe more smoothly.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded in the dark night sky, and the brothers who were marching towards the battlefield raised their heads in unison, and found that there was a ballistic trail dragging light extending towards the team.

"Dodge the guns! Dodge the guns!" When the recruits were still looking up at the light that was making whistles, the mournful voices of the veterans had already sounded.

"boom--"

The shells fell into the ranks, the ground trembled violently, and a burst of dazzling flames erupted. Before the four or five brothers could react, they were blown to pieces, and the rain of blood and pieces of meat and bones scattered all around. fall.

The sweeping strong air wave knocked many brothers over, and the ears of the brothers were stunned by the buzzing. When they saw the head falling at their feet, they felt scared and shouted in horror. stand up.
