In the Yunxiao Mountains, on the position of the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company of the 258th Regiment, "Company Commander, we can't hold it anymore!"
Sitting up with a sigh, Yue Tianxiong felt that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which was chilled by the autumn wind, and his heart was beating wildly because of the nightmare just now.
With a heavy heart, Yue Tianxiong focused his eyes and looked around, and found that he was still lying in the trench, covered with a dirty and discolored military uniform.
Looking towards both sides, there are trenches that are spreading continuously, about 1.7 meters deep and 1.5 meters wide. They are connected to the other two positions and the headquarters in the rear through communication trenches.
The moon above our head has just passed its zenith. The bright moon hangs high in the sky, like a silver mirror, shining down thousands of silver rays, reflecting the glow of the soldiers lying in the trenches without clothes.
Bright and clear.
Snoring came from the signal soldier beside him. He was sleeping soundly with his document bag in his arms. He seemed to be aware of the cold and curled up together.
Yue Tianxiong smiled. He grabbed the old military uniform that he had just covered himself with and carefully covered it for correspondent Huwa.
Standing up, Yue Tianxiong stretched his numb arms and legs, then grabbed the box gun beside him and inserted it into the holster, then walked forward.
Along the way, the Ninth Company's position was full of soldiers lying in plain clothes. Sentinels at some key positions were watching the movements outside vigilantly, in case of a sneak attack by Japanese soldiers in the middle of the night.
Along the way, when they saw Yue Tianxiong, the sentries would raise their hands and salute, "Hello, company commander, you're up."
"Get up, let's check the position." Yue Tianxiong returned the gift casually, and then walked forward thoughtfully.
The dream he just had was still lingering in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. Although he knew it was a dream, it seemed as if it really happened, leaving him with lingering fears.
"Could the Japanese really do this?" Yue Tianxiong had a big question mark in his mind. He repeatedly weighed the credibility of the dream coming true, and for a long time he still couldn't make up his mind.
At this time, he had already walked along the trench to the forefront of the position, which was still about 300 meters away from the Japanese position. From here, he could faintly hear the whispers of the Japanese from the opposite side, and occasionally heard a few laughs.
"The Japs are so quiet. How come they don't look like they are about to attack?" Looking at the "serene" atmosphere in front of him, Yue Tianxiong hesitated again. He felt that he might be too nervous and had hallucinations.
.
Thinking of this, he laughed to himself, then turned around and wanted to return to the place where he had just slept.
Click——, a very slight sound rang out not too far away from the position. Although it was very slight, in Yue Tianxiong's ears, it sounded like thunder.
Yue Tianxiong shivered with excitement, then grabbed the telescope on his chest and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
At night, the telescope is a bit difficult to use. Fortunately, the moonlight is better, and I can still see clearly more than a hundred meters away, but it won't work any further away.
In the telescope, everything was quiet, and the moonlight made the distant terrain look much flatter and softer.
Yue Tianxiong held up the telescope with both hands, and his eyes slowly moved from one side to the other, not missing every ups and downs, looking for the Nascent Soul where the sound might have occurred.
The telescope was completely quiet, and nothing unusual could be seen. This made him wonder if he was having some auditory hallucinations, and he was hearing lies about the military situation.
But just when he was about to put down the telescope, Yue Tianxiong's peripheral vision swept across an unnoticed ravine, and his eyes suddenly froze, and his breathing became much faster.
With his eyes fixed on that place, Yue Tianxiong didn't know that his breathing was quickening and his fingers were trembling a little. He suddenly pulled his neck and shouted, "The enemy is coming, prepare to fight."
This voice woke up all the soldiers. They were sleeping soundly, but Yue Tianxiong's voice disturbed them all. They all stood up and rushed behind the bunker with their rifles in hand.
Yue Tianxiong also pulled out his box cannon, then turned the big and small machine heads, getting ready for battle.
As if he had discovered that he had been discovered, heads wearing steel helmets suddenly jumped up in the ravine. The 38 caps in their hands shone coldly in the moonlight, and the bayonets also reflected the dazzling light.
"Come on, for the glory of the Japanese Empire!" the Japanese shouted and rushed forward. At the same time, the machine guns that the Japanese had laid in ambush also tore off their camouflage, revealing their ferocious muzzles.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk, the unique woodpecker sound of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out, and the bullets were drawn like whips, causing dust to fly on the fortifications in front of the position, and strings of bullet holes appeared in the sandbags built up.
On the ground, the soil was flying and falling.
Next to him, dazzling blood sprayed out from the neck of a soldier, and then his body fell backwards and fell into the trench, and then his body kept twitching.
"Healthman, carry him down quickly." Yue Tianxiong turned around and shouted, and then he fired the box cannon in his hand, shooting at the Japanese who were charging forward.
Chaotic gunshots rang out from the position, not only the sound of Type 79 rifles, but also the gunshots of Hanyang-made and Japanese 38-guns, mixed with the only two Czech-style light machine guns in the company.
roared.
The bullets dragged out dazzling arcs in the night, like warp threads in a loom, spreading across the front of the position and moving toward the Japanese. In a short time, someone was hit by the bullet and turned over and fell to the ground.
.
The Japanese's fighting power was very strong. They quickly discovered the blind spot where the soldiers were shooting, and they fell on the ground one after another, and then used the characteristics of the terrain to cover themselves forward. Most of the soldiers' shots failed and no one was hit.
Yue Tianxiong was so angry that he shouted while shooting, "Grandma, I have to mark it before I shoot it. After the bullets are used up, I don't have any extra bullets."
He was telling the truth. The 258th Regiment was originally a local miscellaneous force, just like the stepmother's children. It was incomparable with the regular army. It had to raise ammunition and other things by itself, so the ammunition allocated to each company in the regiment was limited.
Xiong's Ninth Company was established not long ago, so ammunition was particularly scarce. The only heavy weapons were the two old machine guns, which naturally made it even more stretched.
After hearing the company commander's roar, the soldiers' shooting slowed down a lot. They all aimed before shooting, but since then, the accuracy has increased a little.
The gunshots were loud and continued from midnight until the sky became slightly brighter and the moon fell. The Japanese launched four attacks in one breath. The most suspenseful one was less than ten meters away from the position. Later, they were led by Yue Tianxiong.
The Broadsword Team rushed forward and fought hand to hand with the Japs. Only then were they able to repel the Japs' attack and hold on to their position.
As the sky dawned, the Japanese attack stopped, but Yue Tianxiong and the soldiers all understood that after a short rest, a more violent Japanese attack would come.
