The defeat of Sixing Warehouse and the sinking of Izumo still did not wake up the Japanese.

They still regard China as a piece of fat, and multiple divisions compete for each other for credit.

Yamata Sonwu of the 11th Division and Haseūo of the 6th Division were quarreled. In the end, they fought their own.

But they didn't know that after a night of reinforcement, the average trench depth of the Chinese position was two meters, and the thickness in front of the trench was more than five meters.

There are countless large and small bomb craters, especially the positions of the 40th Division's second battalion.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the positions of the second battalion, soldiers fell lazily in the trenches of the positions.

That night, they dug out trenches with a depth of 2.5 meters, hundreds of bullet-proof craters, and connected the original fortifications into one piece.

In addition to eating a little worse and having less ammunition, it can also be dealt with.

The old abacus has been calculating logistics support. It was not until the morning that the existing food was only enough for them to eat for a day. If the war was a little more fierce and the soldiers were exhausted, they might not even have enough food for a day.

There was not much ammunition left. After a fierce battle yesterday, the remaining ammunition was able to repel two charges from the Japanese army.

Not to mention the shells. When the six grenade launchers brought by Dragon Boat Festival were regained yesterday, all the shells were exhausted. More than 300 grenades were consumed.

In this way, the entire second battalion of the Preparatory Battalion, including the independent regiment, can also divide two grenades into two, totaling about 600.

In other words, after yesterday's fierce battle, the second battalion, including the independent regiment, had only more than 300 people left.

The independent battalion of Dragon Boat Festival also suffered heavy casualties. The second battalion was prepared, and less than sixty people were left.

But today, the battle like yesterday may continue.

Just on the Dragon Boat Festival, when we wanted the soldiers to sleep for a while, the enemy's warship had already reached the predetermined position with the help of the cover of mist.

The 23rd Japanese Regiment replaced the severely damaged 22nd Regiment, and all boarded a small boat and prepared to cross the river to fight again.

Wow!

Boom!......

A 150mm cannon shell suddenly landed on the position, and a huge explosion directly flattened the front of a trench for more than five meters.

At this moment, smoke and dust splashed outwards, and three soldiers were lying in the trenches and were almost buried alive by the flying mud.

They crawled toward both sides of the trench while screaming.

There were awakened soldiers, desperately pulling them out.

Otherwise, the mud and stones that fly like a hill will fall down, let alone three people, ten people will be buried.

On the battlefield, there are many people who are buried alive. Once they are not rescued, they will be buried in it.

Moreover, this is a 150mm cannon. If the caliber is larger, the trench of the Preparatory Second Battalion can be penetrated with one shot.

At the same time, the huge explosion and the strong vibration of the ground woke the sleeping soldiers one by one.

Some of them didn't know what happened and stayed there. Some were frightened by the sudden explosion.

Because you can imagine what it feels like when you are still sleeping, a shell suddenly explodes near you?

Perhaps some people are still dreaming, and suddenly they are frightened by this sound of shock and they are about to jump up.

Dragon Boat Festival flew over and rushed a soldier from the second preparation battalion to the trenches, and then he shouted loudly:

"Don't panic, you dug trenches all night, and they are not that fragile. Now everyone is in the bullet crater and presses bullets into your gun chamber.

Don’t be afraid, when war comes, not everyone will die. The hope of your survival is to eliminate all the enemies in front of you!

We have strong fortifications, but what do Japanese have? They only have bare river banks.

We will also win this battle. Brothers, show your courage. Kill the Japanese, today!”

"Okay! OK!... Kill the Japanese! Kill the Japanese!..."

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment raised their weapons and roared loudly. All the soldiers of the Preparatory Second Battalion were stunned.

They couldn't understand why when the man roared, everyone was as fierce as crazy.

The man's roar seemed to be demonic.

At this time, they even felt that they were already hot and they couldn't help but move.

So amid the enemy's artillery fire, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the Second Battalion were not scared away, but their morale was also high.

Dragon Boat Festival personally commanded the front line, because as long as the river bank was defended, the Japanese army could not pose a threat to the Wufu line. And he could rely on fortifications to carry out large-scale killing of the Japanese without any cover.

This is also the reason why Dragon Boat Festival has to stick to here. This location is so difficult to find. They can rely on favorable terrain to effectively kill the Japanese.

But the Japanese, on the contrary, couldn't even find a bunker.

The only bunker they could find was the body of their companions.

But this is useless because they always have to stand up and charge. During the Japanese charging, they still can't even find a bunker. This is like the Japanese running up to die.

If the Japanese hadn't supported the naval guns on the river, let alone a Japanese corps, even two or three wouldn't have been able to rush up.

But they had too little ammunition. After the first landing of the Japanese to repel the Japanese, the machine gun bullets almost reached the bottom. And only about 500 bullets were left in the submachine gun.

There were some rifles and bullets. However, the ones fighting against them were a reorganized brigade of the Japanese. The independent regiment and the first reserve battalion did not have any advantage in terms of military strength.

The firepower is not as good as the other party, and the number of people does not have an advantage. It is difficult to make up for this gap by relying solely on geographical advantages.

Taking advantage of the repulsion of the Japanese, Xie Jinyuan ran to the Dragon Boat Festival and said, "The team has not been able to replenish supplies for a long time. We may not be able to withstand the next charge of the Japanese! At that time, it will be the hand-to-hand combat that we are most not good at. I'm afraid..."

Xie Jinyuan said the word "I'm afraid" and did not continue. But the Dragon Boat Festival already understood what Xie Jinyuan was going to say. It is very likely that the Independent Regiment all died in the position of the Second Preparatory Battalion due to lack of ammunition.

Of course, last night, the Dragon Boat Festival also wanted to fight the Japanese equipment on the shore. But the Japanese were not fools. How could they give it to the Chinese with weapons and equipment on the shore?

There have always been patrol boats in Jiang.

On that medium-sized patrol boat, in addition to two double-row cannons, there are also 37mm caliber carrier-based artillery. Once someone approaches the river bank, he will inevitably encounter fierce attacks from the Japanese patrol boats.

So with so much equipment, Dragon Boat Festival can only watch it.

"Liu Peixu wanted to get rid of our ammunition and food, so he had to withdraw it!"

He had already guessed Liu Peixu's thoughts when he was in the Dragon Boat Festival.
