…

It's just dawn,

The air is unusually cold,

The 128th Regiment of the Eighth Division, a national army defensive position with three battalions and one company.

"Have Liu Feiyang's troops been replenished?"

"How long does it take for him to change defensive positions with us?"

Xu Baoshi, the commander of the 1st Company of the Third Battalion, hurriedly asked Li Zhicheng, the platoon leader next to him.

"I'll go over and ask him now!"

"Company Commander!"

Platoon leader Li Zhicheng responded with sleepy eyes.

Because he had just slept for a while,

Because I was worried about whether the Japanese would carry out a night attack at night,

Therefore, he took his confidants and constantly patrolled his position in shifts.

If the Japanese hadn't attacked me all night,

I'm afraid he and his men haven't even slept,

"Yeah! Hurry up!"

"I'm worried that the Japs will counterattack later!"

"With the small number of troops and equipment we have now, there is no way we can resist the Japanese army for long!"

Company Commander Xu Baoshi said with a solemn expression.

At the same time, he was constantly using military binoculars to observe every move of the Japanese position opposite the defensive position.

Check to see if any Japs troops have made any unusual movements.

Or launch an attack.

He also didn't sleep for almost the whole day and night.

All his attention was focused on observing the Japanese positions.

Because in order to prevent a sudden attack by the Japanese,

So he still had to let half of the soldiers sleep and recuperate.

So I could only work hard for myself and platoon leader Li Zhicheng to serve as the commander of the patrol.

"When will those Gui troops come to take over the defense so that we can evacuate this damn Yunzaobang battlefield!"

Looking at the Japanese position where there was still no unusual movement, company commander Xu Baoshi murmured to himself with a tired look on his face.

The platoon leader Li Zhicheng had already gone to the position where Liu Feiyang was resting to ask the opponent when he would finish resting and take over the defense.

All the officers and soldiers of the third battalion and first company of the 128th Regiment of the Eighth Division have also woken up one after another and started taking turns to rest.

Those soldiers who were responsible for patrolling at night could find a place to sit down, rest and have some breakfast.

As for those soldiers who had finished resting in the evening, they immediately ate some breakfast in a hurry, and then began to monitor every move of the Japanese on the opposite side of the position.

"It's so cold today!"

"I hope those damn devils won't continue to launch large-scale attacks!"

"In the last battle, our Eighth Division lost more than half of its troops, and even our 128th Regiment only had one battalion left!"

"If the Japanese troops launch another large-scale attack, I'm afraid our entire company, or even the entire regiment, will die here!"

Soldier Li Jinsong said worriedly while patrolling as if he was still awake.

"yes!"

"The enemy's artillery fire coverage and aircraft bombing were really terrifying. A whole squad of troops were wiped out in one bombing!"

Soldier Wang Jingsheng also sighed.

At this moment, he was not full yet and felt that he was still very hungry.

But the food allocated to them was not much or rich at all.

Just a few vegetable buns and some white porridge.

After eating these nutritious breakfasts,

Soldier Wang Jingsheng didn't have much energy to carry out inspections and observations.

"Then we have to ask God to protect the Japanese planes from attacking and bombing us first."

"Otherwise, I am afraid that if we take over Liu Feiyang's defensive position this time, we will suffer heavy casualties."

Soldier Li Jinsong looked up at the gray sky with slightly frightened eyes, and said with fear.

"..."

In response, soldier Wang Jingsheng also looked up at the sky in fear.

Look to see if any enemy planes suddenly appear to bomb them.

Just this look,

Something happened.

"Buzz buzz... buzz buzz..."

At this moment, there was a faint roar in the sky,

Before soldier Wang Jingsheng could react,

The expression on the face of a veteran beside him, Youzi, suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a hoarse and frightened voice: "No, it's a group of Japanese planes coming for a sneak attack! ... Everyone, hurry up and find a bunker to hide!"

As the old soldier Youzi exclaimed, all the surrounding patrol teams who had not yet fully woken up suddenly started to make a fuss.

The Japanese fighter planes and bombers were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had flown into the sky over the defenders' positions and started dropping bombs.

"Qiu!"

"俅俅俅俅!——"

Aerial bombs fell from the sky with a shrill and ear-piercing roar, like meteors falling to the ground, and hit hard on the garrison positions of the 128th Regiment, three battalions and one company of the Eighth Division.

Suddenly there were clouds of smoke and dust, and flames soaring into the sky.

At the same time, the Japanese ground artillery units also opened fire, projecting high-explosive grenades one after another.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!——"

The continuous explosions almost deafened people's ears.

"High-explosive bombs are ready again!"

"Bearing 136893, distance 3,300 meters, a rapid fire...fire..."

On the Japanese artillery position, a Japanese commanding officer was directing the Japanese gunners under him to skillfully fire grenades weighing twenty kilograms.

When the sound of bombardment resounded across the sky, thick smoke continued to emit from the muzzles of the artillery, and then the shells rushed out of the barrel at a speed invisible to the naked eye and headed towards

Flying away in the sky...

In this way, twelve Japanese Type 94 artillery pieces were firing carpet-style artillery fire at the position defended by the 128th Regiment, 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 8th Division.

Get down quickly and stop running around!"

Amid the violent explosions, company commander Xu Baoshi quickly directed his panicked soldiers to evade for their lives.

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, the defensive position of the Third Battalion and the First Company suddenly burst into flames and was filled with deafening explosions...

There were also the wailing sounds of soldiers from the third battalion and the first company who were killed and injured, and the miserable howling sounds,

It's been heard for a long time.

As for the weak commanding voice of company commander Xu Baoshi,

Before anyone could hear him, he was drowned out by the sound of ferocious artillery fire and the aerial bombardment of Japanese planes.

The Japanese artillery shells and aerial bombs fell one after another on the defensive position of the third battalion and the first company, immediately raising dust, flying sand and rocks, and thick smoke billowing all over the sky.

At the same time, the huge shock wave generated after the explosion of artillery shells and aerial bombs also quickly carried shrapnel and spread death to the surroundings.

After a round of three rapid fire rounds, the entire defensive position of the three battalions and one company was immediately in a mess, with heavy casualties.

Coupled with the enemy's successive pincer bombing attacks,

It's just adding insult to injury,

It won't take long,

The entire third battalion was defeated and two companies were wiped out.

When the Japanese's sudden attack began,

Liu Feiyang, who was not far behind, was also suddenly awakened.

All the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and Sichuan Army who had just joined Liu Feiyang's troops also immediately looked frightened.
