The platoon leader also discovered the embarrassing situation faced by the rocket launcher team. Someone had to attract the firepower of the Japanese army.

Time is urgent at present, because the assaulting troops do not open a breakthrough, and the follow-up troops follow up. The formation is too dense, and the little devils will shoot down with bullets, and too many soldiers will die.

Moreover, the Japanese army is seizing the time to deploy heavy machine guns to the position. After the little Japanese's heavy machine guns are set up, it will be more difficult for them to get closer to the Japanese position.

Not allowing the platoon leader to think for too long, he turned over and left the crater.

Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers were immediately attracted by the platoon leader's movements, and concentrated bullets hit the platoon leader's side.

"boom"

After the bazooka soldiers saw that the platoon leader had attracted Japanese firepower, they decisively aimed and fired.

The Japanese machine gun bunkers were smoking, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.

"Come on!"

Seeing that the Japanese firepower point was knocked out, the surrounding soldiers did not need any officers to give them orders. They immediately rushed towards the Japanese position.

After the troops launched a charge, the platoon leader turned over, his facial features twisted together due to pain, and his calf was shot.

When the bullet first hit, his calf felt as if he had been bitten by a poisonous insect, but it was not that painful.

After more than ten seconds passed, the pain shot up his back and into his head. He wanted to shout loudly to suppress the pain, but he couldn't.

When the charging soldiers threw grenades into the Japanese position, the platoon leader could barely endure the excruciating pain. However, he did not withdraw from the battle. Instead, he found his gun and continued to crawl towards the Japanese trenches.

After the grenade exploded, the soldiers rushed into the Japanese position and fought with the Japanese bayonets.

The little Japanese who were stunned by the bombing had no time to fix their bayonets before they saw the Chinese soldiers' bayonets stabbing into their chests.

There were sounds of fighting everywhere on the battlefield, and the Chinese soldiers exposed their fangs that frightened the Japanese invaders. Each fang was dripping with bright red blood.

Fighting with bayonets, the little Japanese had never been afraid of anyone, but at this moment, they felt fear.

All the Chinese soldiers who rushed in front of us came with the idea of ​​dying together with the Japanese soldiers.

The position opened a breakthrough, and follow-up troops followed up in time, quickly occupied the Japanese position and consolidated the Japanese position.

"Expand the results of the battle and attack in depth. We are going to spend the night here tonight. I don't want to be killed by a grenade from a Japs while I'm sleeping." The company commander roared.

They can't stand firm if they occupy the most forward trenches, and the little devils can drive them out of their positions with a single counterattack.

Their purpose was to spend the night in the position, which had to be deep enough to withstand the Japanese counterattack at night.

The injured platoon leader crawled to the edge of the position before he was discovered by the soldiers in the trench, who dragged him into the trench and bandaged his wound.

"Luckily, no bones were injured," the hygienist said.

"Lucky? If I'm lucky, I should be rushing from the front now." said the platoon leader.

It was getting dark, and the battle ahead was still not over. Their troops wanted to expand their results, and the Japanese army wanted to counterattack and regain the lost positions.

Soldiers from both sides continued to fight, and occasionally bullets hit the trench above the head of the injured platoon leader.

"But it really hurts when this thing hits you!"

"Hahaha, this is your first time being injured?" The health worker didn't panic at all and helped bandage the wound of another wounded soldier beside him.

"right!"

"How many battles have you participated in?"

"This is the seventh time. After two battles, I fought from a recruit to a squad leader, and after four battles, I fought from a squad leader to a platoon leader. If my first platoon leader hadn't been seriously injured and comatose during the counterattack, and the deputy platoon leader died,

It’s not my turn to be the platoon leader.”

"I saw a battle and I was promoted from a soldier to a platoon leader," the health worker said.

"How many battles have you participated in?" the platoon leader asked.

"I've lost count. I joined the army when Pingcheng was recaptured, and I participated in almost all the subsequent battles," the health worker said.

"You've never been injured?"

"No, maybe I'm a lucky bastard," the hygienist said. "The stretcher team will be here soon, and you can go back and recuperate. It will take half a month for you to be able to walk."

"Recuperate? Are you kidding? The battle has just started and our platoon still needs me." said the platoon leader.

"Hygienist..."

From the other side of the position, there was a call for a health worker. Apparently someone was injured again.

"Go ahead, I'll cover you!"

The platoon leader endured the pain of his wound, stood up, and aimed his gun at the Japanese soldiers who might run in the wrong direction at any time.

Without any hesitation, the health worker climbed over the trench and disappeared into the darkness.

After the platoon leader saw the health worker leaving, he leaned forward with his rifle and walked along the trench. When he met the soldiers around him, he quickly asked where the soldiers in their platoon were.

The battle started in the evening, and the gunfire didn't stop until ten o'clock in the evening.

However, the Chinese army stopped attacking, and the Japs also stopped counterattacking.

When they launched a counterattack at night, the Japanese army was afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, and the position was not completely lost. Half of the position was in the hands of the Chinese army and half was in the hands of the Japanese army.

The soldiers on both sides were not idle either. Occasionally, a mean soldier would fire two shots at the other side's position. The target could not be seen in the dim position, just to harass the other side.

Although they captured some Japanese positions, they could not let Qin Dongsheng and others relax.

In order to prevent Japanese artillery bombardment or suicide attacks by Japanese soldiers with explosives on their bodies, which would cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers, large numbers of soldiers could not be sent to defend the positions they controlled.

Without too many soldiers to defend, after the Japanese army increased their strength, they could launch attacks on the positions they captured from the front and both wings.

"We can't eat all the Japanese troops on the position in one go!" the staff officer said.

The inability to wipe out all the Japanese troops meant that they could not completely control the position and the Japanese had room to counterattack.

After daybreak, the Japanese army will definitely send more troops.

"We can't just go deep, we have to expand to both wings." Qin Dongsheng believes.

If the depth is there tonight, but all the troops are used to defend the depth, and the two wings are not extended, the position will be blocked by the counterattacking Japanese troops at any time.

"Arrange two platoons of troops to reinforce the attacking troops. We can't rest tonight. We must fight out both wings. If we can't fight out the two wings, all troops must withdraw from the battle before dawn."

After Qin Dongsheng thought for a while, he decisively ordered to send more troops to continue fighting against the Japs.

The ensuing battle was not easy. Qin Dongsheng did not want to be idle, and neither were the little devils. Taking advantage of the Chinese army's attack, they immediately adjusted their deployment and strengthened their defense.

The soldiers of the two platoons fought very bravely and broke through the Japanese positions on the flanks several times. However, the Japanese counterattacked several times, regardless of the cost of casualties.

The battle lasted until dawn, with only sixteen soldiers left in the right platoon, and only one squad of soldiers left in the left platoon.
