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

In the difficult years when the army was short of recruits, countless recruits without any battlefield experience hurriedly added to the army, in order to teach them to fight and teach them to survive and defend their homes and countries.

Numerous veterans set an example and many sacrificed their lives, but their sacrifice taught the recruits to grow up, allowing the recruits to transform into veterans in bloody battles, and as always, guard the motherland behind them with their bodies.

Yang Ling originally wanted to use battle as a substitute for training, so that the recruits of each battalion and company could be tempered through rounds of battle, so as to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

But he overestimated the strength of the recruits. Although they looked decent during the training, they showed their true colors when they faced the real test.

After all, they are just recruits who have been recruited in a hurry. No matter how hard they train and how well they perform, they still have a long way to go to adapt to the real battlefield.

Not only Qin Shou's position almost fell, but the five positions guarded by Liu Yidao's battalion were broken by devils everywhere.

If it weren't for the troops deployed behind them to respond quickly and provide timely support, the position would have fallen.

But even so, in the face of the well-trained devils, the losses of the recruits are still not small. Many of them ran around in a panic and were killed and injured by stray bullets.

"Tuan Zuo, we must change our battle plan, and we can't let the battalions go up to fight in rounds, otherwise the position will be broken by the devils, and the consequences will be disastrous."

After Chief of Staff Zhang Qingyun got the news that the forward position was almost captured by devils, he was also terrified. He hurriedly found the head of the regiment, Yang Ling, hoping to change this way of fighting in rounds and training troops. After all, it was too risky.

However, Yang Ling was not intimidated by the devil's breakthrough because the front position was almost intimidated. On the contrary, the feedback from the front position strengthened his idea of ​​taking turns to train troops.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, the fact that the recruits are about to crumble in the face of the devils shows that they need to be tempered. Judging from the feedback from Battalion Commander Liu and the others, most of the recruits who were killed or injured were caused by disobeying orders and running around. Yes, it's not a loss from frontal combat, and I think we can improve battlefield discipline to make up for that."

Zhang Qingyun, chief of staff, saw that Yang Ling was still stubbornly insisting on defending the position by taking turns to train troops, and suddenly became a little impatient.

"Tuan Zuo, you just saw that the recruits were not strong enough to hold the position. We were lucky enough to hold the position this time, but what about the next time? Will we be able to guarantee such luck next time?"

Seeing the impatient chief of staff, Yang Ling replied unhurriedly: "For this problem, we can let the special agent company and the artillery company directly under the regiment be placed in the second defense and the third defense. support."

"Tuan Zuo, I think this is still too risky. I don't agree with this round of battles. We should press the whole group to strengthen the defense line and make the position more stable."

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "The position is narrow, and the whole regiment will not be able to spread out and will be exposed to the devil's artillery fire, so let each battalion go up and fight separately. Although it takes some risks, it can quickly improve the combat effectiveness."

"I'm responsible for what goes wrong." Yang Ling added.

Seeing Yang Ling's stubbornness, although Chief of Staff Zhang Qingyun disagreed with Yang Ling's way of fighting, Yang Ling was the commander. As the chief of staff, he only had the right to make suggestions, but not command, so he could only give up resentfully.

Yang Ling In view of the new situation in the forward position, the recruits may not be able to withstand the devil's direct and fierce attack.

Therefore, the special agent company and the machine gun company directly under the regiment are ordered to be placed in the second defense, so that they can directly support the forward position at critical moments and avoid the risk of the entire position being breached.

"Let the companies of the second battalion also move to the second defense, and let them observe the battle."

In addition to guarding against risks, Yang Ling also ordered the next army that was about to go up to the next round of battle to adapt to the battlefield in advance by observing on the spot.

The gunshots on the battlefield rang out again, and the devils quickly figured out the numbers of Yang Ling and his troops. When they learned that they were from the 74th Army, the devils felt even more excited while being terrified.

The devils are well-trained and have won consecutive battles on the Chinese battlefield, although they have also encountered a series of powerful Chinese troops who are not afraid of death.

But it is a pity that although the stronger Chinese troops fought tenaciously, the aircraft and heavy artillery facing them had been wiped out by them.

The 74th Army has been active on the frontal battlefield since its establishment. Whether it is Shanghai, Nanjing or the Xuzhou battlefield in the north, the 74th Army has caused the devils and divisions to suffer countless times, and has been noticed by the divisions. .

Not long ago, the proud and domineering Maruyama Brigade was almost wiped out by the 74th Army. It can be said that the 74th Army has become the attention of all Japanese troops and is eager to fight with it. After all, it can eliminate such a powerful opponent. Enough to keep them happy for a while.

The 106th Division fought against Yangling briefly in Ruichang, but the 74th Army had to retreat voluntarily because it had just fought with the Maruyama Brigade and ran out of supplies and ammunition. This made the 106th Division feel quite regretful.

They chased after them all the way, but in the end they allowed the 74th Army to withdraw calmly, and then fought head-on with the 66th Army.

Unexpectedly, the 74th Army, the main force of the Chinese army that they had been looking for and wanted to destroy, appeared on the battlefield again, so it didn't make them excited.

"Destroy the 74th Army!"

The head of the Devil Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, received a report from the frontline troops and learned that he was facing the famous 74th Army. Fighting such a strong opponent made their blood boil with excitement.

If they can defeat the main force of the Chinese army, it will undoubtedly highlight their own strength, so Matsuura Junrokuro wants the troops to go all out.

On the wide battlefield shrouded in gunpowder, every attacking devil unit got the number of the opposite Chinese army, and every devil's face was brimming with excitement.

The devil's attack started again, and hordes of bombers flew over the mountains heavily, dropping heavy bombs one after another on the positions of the Chinese defenders.

The rumbling explosion raised flames soaring into the sky amidst the violent tremors on the ground, hot smoke billowed, and the ground was torn apart.

Under the baptism of artillery fire, countless barbed wire fences and rotten wood were thrown high into the air. Amid the deafening sound of artillery, the Chinese officers and soldiers in the frontier positions were swept by air waves again and again.

But after the baptism of artillery fire, most of the officers and soldiers were not as scared as before. They covered their ears and curled up in the anti-blasting hole, watching the sky darkened by the bombing outside.

"The devil is coming up! Prepare to fight!" The shrill voice of the observation post rang again amidst the billowing smoke.

The attacking devil infantry stepped on the bombing point, but this time the recruits no longer ran around in panic, but silently set up their guns like veterans, twisting the bottom cover of the grenade...

The veterans used their sacrifices to teach the recruits how to fight. Although the recruits were still afraid, they didn't need to be reminded by the veterans, they already knew how to do it.

The troops with real combat effectiveness are not those equipped with excellent weapons, but the troops fed with the blood of devils on the battlefield.

"Hold your breath! Listen to my order before shooting!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Qin Shou watched with satisfaction the recruits laying down on their shooting positions in an orderly manner. Many of their tactical actions had already begun to apply to veterans.

The real battlefield is the best training ground. Blood and death will make every recruit grow by leaps and bounds. The difference between recruits and veterans may be only a fierce battle.

Text Chapter 578 Wheel of War ([-])

The devils were as ferocious as ever, and the bullets poured like water pouring towards the forward positions of the Chinese defenders, and a pile of scorched earth bounced and splashed in all directions.

The devil's grenadiers and mortars were not to be outdone, and they bombarded fiercely as if they were competing with each other, blowing up the defenders' positions into a mess.

The brothers hiding in the trenches, whether they were recruits or veterans, were all blackened by the flames of war, and they were disheveled and in a state of embarrassment.

"Bang!" The muffled sound of gunfire mixed with the crisp sound of machine guns was inaudible, but as long as the devil showed his head, he would definitely not be able to please him.

The new recruit, Luo Wencai, had already adapted to the bloody trenches, and the strong smell of blood made the blood in his bones boil. Watching the devils rushing towards him in the distance, he staggered and fell, his body There was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Without the slightest hesitation, at the same time as the devil soldier fell, he had already left his shooting position holding the hot [-] rifle.

"Puff puff!"

A series of retaliatory bullets followed, and the bullets sank hard into the soil, splashing gravel, full of the anger of the devil soldier, but did not hurt the recruit Luo Wencai at all.

In the dilapidated trenches and bunkers, more and more recruits have been able to shoot and transfer proficiently. Although there are still casualties, they are rapidly maturing under the tempering of the war.

The company in the forward position was fighting the devils leisurely. Under the fierce offensive of the devils, the position seemed to be crumbling, but it was impregnable.

Because once the devil's assault force breaks into a distance of tens of meters from the position, the firepower of the secret agent company brothers and the machine gun company hidden in the second defense will open fire to support.

Yang Ling and his troops not only added more than 2000 supplementary soldiers this time, but also gave priority to replenishing a large number of weapons and ammunition.
