As soon as the cry of "shelling, concealment, concealment" started, a sharp and piercing whistling sound came from the sky. "Boom! Boom! Boom..." The ensuing explosions began to hammer the ground violently, and the powerful impact formed a violent air wave.
, the god of death's sickle is filled with pieces of high-speed rotating shrapnel, sweeping through everything that blocks them in an elusive trajectory. The ground is shaking violently, as if the whole world has been distorted. Tang Cheng holds his head with his hands, and puts his knees to his chest.
, huddled in a half-lying and half-lying position at the bottom of the cold, muddy trench, with eyelids and lips tightly closed, pretending to be a rock or a corpse, anything he could pretend to be as long as he could avoid the damn bombardment.
In this simple and winding trench, there are many soldiers wearing German-style large-rim steel helmets like those in Tangcheng. Their weapons are either held in their arms or placed aside. Some of them have calm expressions and close their eyes to meditate.
Some were mumbling words, while others were ashen-faced, with dull eyes, sitting at a loss, lying on their sides, or huddled in a corner like Tang Chuan and shivering. The storm of artillery fire was fierce and dense, with sharp whistling and loud blasts.
The sounds of explosions were intertwined, high and low, one after another.
For the people in the trenches, all this has no choice. They can either pray to God in their hearts or resign themselves to fate. The shells fall directly into the trench bunkers. It is not uncommon for the entire squad or platoon to be killed, and some lucky ones
Veteran Youzi can survive a hundred shellings without any damage. However, every minute of suffering from shelling is so long that people can't help but question: Is time frozen at this point?
After a long time, the sound of landslides and tsunamis finally turned from dense to faint. After a few minutes, the last dull roar marked the end of this powerful symphony. The battlefield finally became quiet, and the sudden change made people feel nervous from their eardrums to their hearts.
Experiencing inertial stimulation, this even has a good vomiting effect on people with underdeveloped cerebellum. The living survived the suffering, but there was no cheer at all; the injured received only empty compassion in the painful body.
As for those who died, there is no longer distinction between honor and shame, persistence and wavering, optimism and depression, everything is over.
"Get ready to fight, the Japanese troops are coming." The shouts of death sounded as usual after the Japanese shelling ended, and quickly spread throughout the trenches. The veterans who had previously looked like sculptures moved one after another, and some rushed to the front along the communication trenches
In the trenches, some stood up and lay down in their fighting positions to check the firearms and ammunition. Various hard objects such as firearms, helmets, water bottles, etc. rubbed and bumped against each other, converging into a unique sound in the trenches, and the tense atmosphere quickly filled the air.
Come on.
Although the unlucky man Tang Cheng was very reluctant, he was afraid of the severe pain caused by the rifle butt hitting his body. He stood up with difficulty, picked up the rifle covered with mud from the ground, and waited with a blank expression. Waiting for the temper.
When the irritable squad leader waved his fists and shouted "fire", he and the people next to him would lie down on the edge of the trench and shoot forward with the weapons in their hands.
Tang Cheng is undoubtedly the unluckiest guy in this trench. Others came to fight voluntarily, but he encountered the Japanese army while leading the way for the troops. The entire platoon of soldiers died, and only Tang Cheng survived.
, so the "lucky" Tang Cheng was left by Yang Kun's company commander to recruit young men and became a soldier in this mixed army. However, the company commander was in a good mood, and the military rank given to Tang Cheng was clearly superior soldier, which was better than
He is two levels higher than other recruits who have just joined the army.
In fact, this was not because Yang Kun's company commander was deliberately trying to embarrass Tangcheng, but because the Japanese army had surrounded this area. There were not even thousands but six or seven hundred Japanese troops roaming around. A student from Tangcheng rashly walked alone.
If you return, you may encounter the Japanese army. It is dangerous to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is better than being shot and killed by the Japanese army in an alley. This reason sounds silly and stupid, but the reality before Tangcheng is so cruel, and
Just a few hours ago, he was a 19-year-old student who had never fired a gun.
I am busy at school every day, looking forward to one day walking into a church covered with petals with my favorite girl on my arm, receiving blessings from relatives and friends, and living a happy and happy ordinary life. Such an ideal in life is not a luxury, but in this world
He fell into a coma in an alley. When he woke up again, he found that he had fallen into a nightmare. To be precise, it was a nightmare reality. He was forcibly recruited into the army, and his previous life had left him. He could not
Once again a student eager for revenge, Tang Cheng is now a new recruit of the Communist Party who kills enemies for his country.
The gunshots of the Japanese army on the opposite side continued to ring out. After the bombardment, there must be an attack. This simple truth was also figured out by Tang Cheng, who had just been forcibly recruited into the army. The familiar hoarse voice of "get ready to shoot" came from not far away. In this way
In a position where people died every moment, everyone's temper was extremely hot, especially that of their squad leader Lao Man in Tangcheng. Lao Man had a rough Chinese character face, a sparse beard, and broad shoulders.
, his arms were round, and he looked somewhat similar to the green forest hero in the storytelling. He took off his military uniform and picked up the machete. His posture was definitely comparable to that of bandits blocking the road.
Driven by the old man's slogans like chasing a duck, the soldiers in the trench propped up their bodies against the wall of the trench. Before the ferocious old man came to his side, Tang Cheng quickly spread his legs to avoid a man in the trench.
Tan Jixue was ready to shoot. The eyes, the sight of the rifle and the target, these three points must be in a straight line, so that the shot can be accurate. This is what Lao Man gave Tang Cheng this bloodstained Zhongzheng rifle.
The shooting essentials mentioned before. This is the third Japanese attack in Tangcheng. In the first two times, he was kicked hard by the old man because he missed the opportunity and did not shoot. This time he did not want to be beaten again.
.
The index finger of his right hand was inserted into the trigger guard, his left hand was holding the handguard of the gun body, and his shoulder was pressed against the butt of the gun. Tang Cheng, who closed his left eye and opened his right eye, quietly glanced to his side. When the guy on the right was aiming, he was actually
With his eyes closed, Tang Cheng could not imagine how this guy aimed at the target. The order to fire had not been issued. It was daytime, but the front of the position was filled with scattered dust, and Tang Cheng could not see clearly in the trench.
Whether there were Japanese troops in front, squad leader Lao Man kept looking ahead with a cold face. Before there was an order to fire, everyone had the same sullen expression as Lao Man.
The trench where Tangcheng is located is located on a long street running east-west. There are several trenches made of bomb craters and sandbags. As a new recruit, Tangcheng squatted in the third trench. During the continuous Japanese artillery fire,
Under the devastation, the entire long street has been turned into ruins. The pitted ground blasted by artillery fire is like the countryside of Shanghai in the early years. The blood on the ground has been mashed by trampling. In front of the position within sight of Tangcheng,
There were some Japanese corpses in khaki military uniforms scattered around, but Tang Cheng still found among the khaki corpses of Japanese soldiers wearing the same military uniforms as himself.
There is an ancient church a few hundred meters away on the right rear of the position. It is an important support point for the entire defense line. Two mortars are deployed inside, which is the supporting firepower point of the company. The enemy's almost abnormal artillery fire has no effect.
After destroying that church, Tang Cheng had hoped in his heart and wanted to squat in such a building. It would be very safe. "Boom" a cloud of smoke rose up in front of the position, and the cannon on the side and rear of the position opened fire. It was a
The 88mm cannon that originally belonged to other troops was not taken away when the friendly forces changed defenses. Now that cannon has become the only heavy firepower weapon of Tang Cheng's unit.
Before the sound of "boom" cannon fire disappeared, a ball of fire burst out in the open space opposite. Before the guys in the trench could see it clearly, rumbling explosions came one after another from the side and rear of the Japanese position, and several groups
The fireballs that rose up one after another made the veterans in the trenches cheer. Different from the ignorance of the new recruits, the veterans all knew that the continuous explosions just now were their own artillery fire hitting the Japanese artillery positions or ammunition.
The supply point is already there, otherwise there would not have been continuous explosions after the shells exploded.
Compared with the fierce attack and precise shooting of the Japanese army, the veterans hated the Japanese army's artillery fire more. Artillery fire was the trump card of the Japanese army in dominating the battlefield. Many of their companions died under the Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese army appeared on the opposite side of "kill them".
figure, under the command of an officer holding a long sword, the Japanese army finally couldn't help but launch an attack. The five-pointed star on the Japanese helmet could be seen clearly, and Tang Cheng, who had not heard the order to fire, couldn't help but brutally attack his squad leader.
Look.
Lao Man, who was also lying in the trench, still looked expressionless, as if the approaching Japanese army had nothing to do with him. Just when Tang Cheng was secretly worried, the two mortars behind the position belonged to the company.
The artillery fired. The artillery shells that broke through the air crashed into the attackers' queue in an instant. With two roars, smoke and fireballs rose in front of the position. The attackers did not stop and fired two more mortars.
The shells hit and the attacker stopped, as motionless as a dead pig lying in its nest.
Tang Cheng saw with his own eyes that the Japanese flag soldier was thrown high by the explosion, and the Japanese plaster flag fixed on the rifle was also set ablaze by the fire. "This should have been my goal," Tang Cheng said in frustration.
He was shouting in his heart. Having already accepted the current situation, he had already aimed his sights at the Japanese flag soldiers, but he had not given the order to fire for a long time. Now he was taken advantage of by the company's mortars. Tang Cheng felt a little discouraged.
.
"Machine gun fire! Push them back!" The Japanese army, unable to withstand the artillery fire, began to retreat. The order to fire finally came, but it was only the machine gun order to fire. Those in Tangcheng who used rifles had no part in firing. "
Da da da da da da”
Sporadic or clusters of machine gun bullets were dark red to orange, flying from the front trenches to the Japanese troops in front of the positions at extremely fast speeds, and pounced into the rear of the Japanese troops' retreating formation like sickles harvesting crops.
