The soldiers in the trenches were ready amidst the beatings and shouts of Tangcheng. Everyone was as if they had been given blood. They stared at the front of the position with wide eyes, waiting for the attacking Japanese troops to appear. Xie Bo
I have long told Tang Cheng that whether a person can survive on the battlefield depends not only on his bravery and extraordinary ability, but also on his luck. Maybe Tang Cheng’s luck has already changed during the day.
It was used up, and almost all the artillery fire fired by the Japanese army at night hit the Tangcheng position.
"Boom" "Boom" The artillery shells falling from time to time filled Tangcheng's position with smoke and fireballs. The soldiers who had hid in the artillery caves still couldn't avoid the intensive artillery fire. Tangcheng watched with his own eyes a
The shell-proof cave was turned into a pile of nothingness by the Japanese artillery fire. Now it is too late for the soldiers gathered in the position to retreat. The flying shrapnel will kill them. The only way is to stay in the shell-proof cave.
Here, who can survive depends entirely on their luck.
"Boom!" The smoke that spread with the explosion completely submerged the bomb-proof cave in Tangcheng. The impact point of the shell was only a few meters away from the bomb-proof cave where Tangcheng was hiding. There was no time to react. It had already been shocked by the Japanese shelling.
Tang Cheng, who was dizzy, only felt a numbness and pain in the left half of his body. Two pieces of shrapnel from artillery shells had been stabbed into his left shoulder and under his ribs. He didn't know if he remembered it correctly. He followed Tian Kui's instructions.
Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and pulled out the shrapnel nailed to his body, then randomly wrapped the wound with Tian Kui's homemade first aid kit.
"Damn little devils, your artillery fire is endless. If you continue to bombard me, Grandpa, my Jinluan Palace will be destroyed." A rough and crazy yell sounded from the anti-aircraft cave not far from Tangcheng City,
Tang Cheng could tell that it was a veteran under his command. The novices had already been frightened out of their courage by the Japanese shelling, and now there was no one else but the veterans who could still yell and curse at this time.
At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was huddled in the shell-proof hole, felt that he was no longer alone in the trench, surrounded by the night. Although the soldier closest to him was still several meters away from his shell-proof hole, the shouting sound
But it made his nervousness inexplicably relax. Tang Cheng's tears slid down his face unknowingly. The soldiers stayed far away, and no one disturbed him to be weak. Tang Cheng remembered that when he was young,
Even if there was a small wound on his body, Robert would disinfect it nervously. He would also ask him if it hurt while telling him little stories that could make Tang Cheng forget the pain.
But this damn war turned Tang Cheng into a soldier, fighting the Japanese army on the battlefield with no tomorrow. The pain on his body reminded Tang Cheng of Robert and the stories Robert told him.
, and the biscuits baked by Robert himself. Tang Cheng's shoulders began to shrug. If he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he would have burst into tears. It wasn't that he was afraid, Tang Cheng simply called Robert.
"Da da da da da da" I don't know when the Japanese artillery bombardment has weakened. The sound of machine gun fire began to sound from Liu Yangyang's position. He smeared a few on his face indiscriminately, and Tang Tang, who got out of the shell-proof hole,
Cheng didn't have time to thank God and praise his luck, so he threw himself on the trench and looked out of the position. It was Tangcheng's position that was bombarded, so the fire after the shelling was all on this side of the position, but the large field in front of the position was
It was dark, and only a few meters away from the position, Tang Cheng couldn't see clearly whether there were any Japanese troops.
"Get ready to fight. Come out to me if you are still alive and breathing." Tang Cheng ran in the dilapidated trench carrying his Mauser rifle. This was the first time he called himself "I" in front of his soldiers, and it was also his first time.
Once, he punched and kicked the guys who were still squatting in the shell-proof hole and forced them to come out to prepare for battle. The 173rd Division of "Tong" and "Tong" fired flares, and the sudden cold light attracted the attention of most of the soldiers, but Tang
Cheng's eyes were fixed on the large khaki figure in front of the position.
The Japanese army came, and the khaki figure that appeared in Tangcheng's sight was only 50 meters away from their position. He couldn't count how many people there were when he looked at them. The number of people in Tangcheng who were attacked by the Japanese army was so horrifying that his hands and feet were numb. "
The Japanese army is coming, the Japanese army is coming, prepare to fight, fight." Tangcheng's footsteps stopped in a trench that was about to collapse. For some unknown reason, the location chosen by Tangcheng was only a hundred meters away from Liu Yangyang's side.
.
There was an explosion of "Boom!", and a ball of fire burst out of the darkness in front of the position. At least two Japanese soldiers were knocked down. The sparks splashed by the explosion allowed the defenders in the position to see more Japanese troops clearly.
At this moment, Tang Cheng began to feel lucky that he had climbed out of the position with a few veterans to lay out those booby traps when it was just dark. If there were no booby traps, he might have to wait for the attacking Japanese army to touch him.
Only when he reached the front line of the position could he clearly see where the enemy was.
"Fire, fire, don't let them get close to the position anymore." Tang Cheng shouted and was the first to pull the trigger. As his order was shouted out, the dozens of soldiers still alive on the position opened fire.
Life and death, this is the law of the battlefield. If you cannot kill your enemy, then you have to be prepared to face death, because war never sympathizes with the weak. Their positions in Tangcheng have been destroyed by Japanese artillery fire.
But it can also provide them with some cover and convenience. Compared to Tangcheng and others, the Japanese army, which could only use their own corpses as cover, seemed a bit passive and embarrassed.
The explosions and flames that appeared from time to time in the darkness always brought bursts of white flowers to the eyes. Coupled with the obstruction of gunpowder smoke and dust, it was almost impossible for Tang Cheng to see the enemy clearly. He was completely chasing the muzzle flash from the opposite side and firing based on his feeling.
.The entire position was caught in a fierce battle. What made Tang Cheng feel safe and comforted was that the two light machine guns in his position kept firing. The cold gunshots told all the defending soldiers in the position that the position was still in their hands.
.
Under the arrangement of Tangcheng, dozens of grenades were used as booby traps and were placed within a range of 30 meters to 30 meters away from the position. At night when the visibility was very low, the traces of the grenades after the tabs were pulled away would not be noticed.
Those Japanese soldiers who triggered booby traps would also ignore the feeling under their feet because they were focused on the opponent's position. The 10-meter-thick booby trap area was another line of defense that was difficult for the attacking Japanese troops to overcome. Those who wanted to truly attack Tangcheng
position, the Japanese army must use human lives to break this booby trap defense line.
The Japanese army was blocked by booby traps 30 meters away from the position. The Japanese army tried to use the night to deliver a fatal blow to the Chinese defenders, but they were also tied up by the night. In such visibility, they could not attack at the same time.
Pay attention to the strange things under your feet. The fireballs that rise up from time to time in front of the position make Tang Cheng extremely lucky. Fortunately, he has been favored by Xie Bo. Fortunately, he has obtained Xie Bo's battlefield notebook. If there were no Xie Bo's notebook, maybe
He is still a young boy wandering around who only wants to go to Sichuan. He is glad that he has now become a soldier.
"Don't stop the machine gun, keep firing." The two light machine guns in Tang Cheng's position stopped firing almost at the same time. Tang Cheng, who was shouting, couldn't wait for the machine gun to continue firing, so he ran towards the machine gun position with his rifle. Tang Cheng
What I saw were not the bloody corpses that had died under Japanese gunfire or shelling, but a few soldiers who were alive but crying. The machine guns were out of ammunition. The machine guns were an important pillar of firepower to resist the enemy's attack. Without the firepower of the machine guns, Tangcheng
I can't imagine how long I can hold on to my position.
"Open fire. We don't have machine guns, but we still have rifles. We can kill them with rifles." The Japanese army's offensive momentum was at its peak. It was impossible for Tangcheng to send people to Liu Yangyang's side to look for machine gun bullets at this time. Even if there were
The extra ammunition is for his own side. Tangcheng believes that no one can return here safely with the ammunition when the flares are launched one after another. Without going in, the firepower on Tangcheng's side will be much weaker and they will be intercepted in the minefield.
The Japanese troops outside became more energetic, and their marksmanship, which was much superior to that of the soldiers in the garrison, began to show its effect and power.
The number of soldiers in the position is getting smaller and smaller. There are now less than 30 of the dozens of soldiers under Tang Cheng. Half of the soldiers who died in battle died in gunfire with the Japanese army. Tang Cheng didn't know
How long can those booby traps last? The explosions he counted were already close to the number of booby traps laid. Once without the help of booby traps, it might be just a matter of time before the Japanese army captures their position. Tang Cheng has already put the booby traps around his waist.
He pulled out his barge gun and placed it on the dirt in front of him. He had already made up his mind not to change positions. As long as the Japanese army attacked, he would hold his barge gun and engage them in hand-to-hand combat.
The shrill bugle sounded when Tangcheng was about to lose hope. The screams of artillery shells flying through the air came from far and near to the battlefield. "Boom", "boom" and "boom" were large fireballs among the Japanese troops.
Soaring up, under the cold light emitted by the flares, what Tangcheng saw was an earthy figure thrown high by the air wave of the explosion. The artillery team that had been hidden in the 173rd Division finally took action. Starting from the battle with the Japanese army yesterday, Zhou
Yuan had never used the mountain artillery and infantry artillery they brought, and even the mortars, Zhou Yuan withheld half of them without showing them.
At this point in the battle, it is already a matter of life and death. If the position in Tangcheng is breached by the Japanese army, the main position stationed by the 173rd Division will be cut and surrounded by the Japanese army. There is an old saying that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but it is most appropriate at this time.
, the situation in Tangcheng showed signs of being breached by the Japanese army, and Zhou Yuan, who had been waiting for the opportunity, had to reveal what he had at the bottom of the box.
