"Hidden, hidden, Japanese artillery fire, Japanese artillery fire." The veterans' shouts just sounded on the position, and the sharp whistling sound of artillery shells streaking through the air was heard in the air. The Japanese army moved the artillery fire that bombarded the left wing position to the second company's position.
Here, the second company is a unit of the 88th Division. When repairing the position, Zhou Fu and the gang of the 51st Division dug a lot of artillery-proof holes in the trenches. However, the current location of Tangcheng seems to be some distance from the artillery-proof holes.
It was far away, so he had no choice but to imitate Liu Yangyang and pull up a Japanese soldier's body to cover himself, hoping that this would avoid the shrapnel flying across the trench.
Boom! Boom! Boom..., the ensuing explosions began to hammer the ground violently. The strong shock waves after the explosion of the artillery shells formed violent air waves and crashed into everything that blocked them. The high-speed rotating shrapnel mixed in these air waves
Sweeping everything with an elusive trajectory. The entire position was shaking in the strong explosion, as if the whole world had been distorted. Even more trenches collapsed after simple repairs, and large pieces of falling soil even threatened to destroy the trenches.
The trend of burying them alive in Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng, who was curled up under the corpse of the Japanese soldier, held his head in his hands and put his knees to his chest, half lying on his side and half lying at the bottom of the trench covered with blood. A soldier of the 51st Division who was hiding in the anti-aircraft hole was very unlucky.
The rotating shrapnel flew into the shell-proof hole where he was hiding, hitting the guy in the neck. The plasma sprayed from the wound instantly turned him into a bloody man, and his lifeless body fell heavily out of the gun-proof hole.
It is less than 3 meters away from Tangcheng.
There was only a distance of 3 meters. Tang Cheng, who was hiding under the Japanese corpse, thought for a moment of hiding in the empty shell-proof hole. But in the blink of an eye, when he saw the corpse that was still twitching from time to time, Tang Cheng felt that he should still hide here.
It may be safer under the corpse. A close melee with Yamashita's team left the right wing position, which already had no numerical advantage, with fewer people alive. The 15-man Second Company now has 9 people left, and Liu Yangang and Zhou
Fu was still injured. Six of the platoon of the 51st Division were killed and 15 were killed. Most of the remaining people were also injured. Many people wanted to resist the large number of Japanese troops that were coming soon. It was simply
It's wishful thinking.
Every minute of the Japanese artillery fire was so long. For the people in the trenches, all this was no choice. They could either hide in the anti-aircraft holes and pray to God secretly, or they could just resign themselves to fate and let the shells fall directly.
In the trench bunkers, the defensive troops were in full shifts, and it was not uncommon for entire platoons to be killed in action, and some lucky old men like Liu Yangyang could survive a hundred shellings without any damage.
I don’t know how long it took, but what sounded like a landslide and tsunami in Tangcheng’s eyes finally turned from dense to faint. With the last dull roar, the Japanese artillery fire finally stopped. “The little devil is coming up, ready to fight, and still breathing.
Everyone, please pick up your guns, little devils come up, let's not even think about it." Liu Yangyang's desperate shout sounded as usual after the Japanese shelling ended, and quickly spread throughout the position, hiding among the Japanese corpses
Tang Cheng couldn't help but cursed secretly. A guy like Liu Yangyang was really lucky. His voice was not affected by the Japanese bombardment at all.
The sculpture-like figures in the artillery holes moved one after another. Some rushed to the forward positions along the traffic trenches, and some stood up and took up their own fighting positions. Various hard objects such as firearms, helmets, water bottles, etc. were rubbing against each other, and they were in the trenches.
The voices converged into a unique sound, and the tense atmosphere quickly spread. Tang Cheng, shaking his head and still dizzy, got out from under the Japanese corpse. After getting out, Tang Cheng discovered that the Japanese corpse was covered with shells.
Shrapnel, if I had moved slower, I would probably be the one stuck with these shrapnel.
The number of Japanese soldiers rushing over from outside the position was not large, but it was quite a lot. Compared with the entire second battalion position, the number of these Japanese soldiers was small. However, compared with the right wing position where there were still a few people left, the number of these Japanese soldiers was a bit small.
There were more. The invading Japanese army should still be an infantry squad. After the shelling on the right wing position just now, these Japanese soldiers set off very quickly. When Tang Cheng got up and lay down in his shooting position again, he rushed in
The Japanese troops at the front were already less than 30 meters away from the trenches.
The muzzle of Tang Cheng's gun had just been aimed at one of the Japanese soldiers, and his heart suddenly felt pain for no reason, like being pricked by a needle. Tang Cheng just tilted his head subconsciously, and only heard a "dang" sound, from the Japanese soldier.
A bullet fired from the side hit the side of Tang Cheng's steel helmet. The huge kinetic energy of the bullet hit Tang Cheng's head straight back. His head drove his neck, and his neck drove his body. Tang Cheng's whole body was raised and facing the person behind him.
The trenches fell.
Tang Cheng, who fell backwards, even heard a snapping sound from his neck. He was still concerned about the rifle that had been released. Tang Cheng, who still had a glimmer of consciousness in his mind, hurriedly took off his helmet.
He reached out and touched his head. Fortunately, there were no wounds, no flowing fluid, and no blood. After calming down, Tang Cheng suddenly fell to the ground and vomited. This was the last time Tang Cheng took the position at the entrance of Shanghai Street.
After facing the Japanese tank, he faced death for the second time. He didn't expect that death was so close to him. If he hadn't just tilted his head, this bullet might have sent him to heaven.
Since he was not injured, he had to continue fighting. Everyone on the position was fighting, so Tang Cheng naturally could not stay away. "Where did you run just now?" Tang Cheng shot and knocked down a Japanese soldier on the opposite side.
Suddenly, he felt a heat coming from his ears. He turned around and saw that Jiujin, who had disappeared for a while, was lying next to him. After the Yamashita team started to attack, Tang Cheng did not see Jiujin's shadow in the trench. Just now he was
He couldn't care less, and now seeing Jiu Jin suddenly appearing next to him, Tang Cheng couldn't help shouting at the top of his lungs.
There was a smile on Jiu Jin's face, and he stretched out his hand to point behind him. Tang Cheng looked in the direction of Jiu Jin's finger. I don't know when there were many more helmets in the trench. "Fire, fire. It's almost here."
The moment the shouts rang out, gunshots that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted in the trenches. Hot bullets shot out like raindrops. The yellow tide approaching the trenches suddenly slowed down. "The person I called."
The sound seemed very small among the deafening gunshots, but Tang Cheng heard it clearly.
Tang Cheng looked at the helmets who appeared in the trench with some suspicion. After looking for a long time, he found someone he knew. The helmets in the trench all had gray and black faces. At a glance, they were all the same person.
Virtue, Tang Cheng was able to find people he knew among them, which was considered extraordinary. "Grenade" The helmets threw grenades with the shouts, and the area where the yellow tide appeared outside the trench quickly rose up.
A ball of fireballs, bullets and shrapnel swept past like a storm. Many Japanese soldiers died before they could even cry out, while most chose to lie down on the spot.
After firing three bullets in succession, Tang Cheng retreated into the trench and gasped for air. The trench was filled with helmets who had been called over by Jiu Jin. Tang Cheng suddenly felt that he should breathe a sigh of relief. The trench was full of gunpowder smoke and mud.
The strange smell mixed with the smell, the pressure on the nasal cavity and lungs was far greater than the bullets fired by the Japanese army. Tang Cheng deliberately slowed down the action of loading bullets, deliberately turning a deaf ear to the increasingly clear shouts, but the gunshots on the position
The sounds of explosions came and went, making Tangcheng feel so ethereal.
After loading the bullets, Tang Cheng took a deep breath and was about to get up. A young helmet lying next to Jiujin suddenly fell down. When he saw the appearance of the young helmet clearly, Tang Cheng froze. Bullets fired by the Japanese army
Not only did it penetrate the young Helmet's head, but it seemed that more than one bullet hit his face, because Tang Cheng could no longer clearly see the appearance of the young Helmet, and his head was as rotten as a rotten persimmon.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, Tang Cheng kept reminding himself in his heart, holding back the stomach juice that was about to be vomited, Tang Cheng grabbed the gun and got up. Tang Cheng, who grew up listening to Robert telling stories, always felt that he was not afraid of fighting in his bones.
Yes, he could become an outstanding soldier like Robert's story. However, the oppression of reality always makes Tang Cheng unconsciously choose to retreat.
During the days of fighting with the Second Company, Tang Cheng never thought about retreating, but when he saw the young helmeted man's head shattered by bullets, Tang Cheng felt more timid than disgusted.
.Whether he admits it or not, Tang Cheng was indeed scared and timid just now. He is not afraid of war, but he is afraid that he will have his head smashed by the Japanese soldiers like that young steel helmet. That would be too terrible, and he does not want to go to war himself.
After arriving in heaven, Robert will not be able to recognize him because his face is blurry.
"What are you doing stupidly? When the reinforcements come, you should quickly shoot down the drowned dog, open fire, and give me the aiming point. Don't take the bullets and fire them like you don't pay for them." When the reinforcements came, Liu Yangyang, who was wounded in the shoulder, also felt a lot more relaxed.
, handing the light machine gun to the soldiers beside him, Liu Yangyang followed the trench and began to count how many men were left in the second company. Although Tangcheng was in an extremely embarrassing situation, Liu Yangyang's mood suddenly changed.
"The silly boy is not bad, his legs and feet are quite fast. I thought it would take a while for you to come back." Liu Yangyang also praised Jiu Jin who was smiling innocently next to Tang Cheng. Only then did Tang Cheng
I knew that Jiujin had just been sent by Liu Yangyang to move reinforcements to the left wing position. These extra helmets in the trenches were the reinforcements sent by Xie Chengrui out of kindness. Although they were only a platoon of troops, they were very important to the right wing.
In terms of position, it has solved a big problem.
