Chapter three hundred and fiftieth eight night blocking
The loud explosions occasionally set off huge flames, illuminating the battlefield with flickering light and darkness. The blown-up Japanese armored vehicles lay crooked in the stinking ditch, and the thunderbolts burned into fireballs. Half of the Japanese corpses lay on the red-hot ground.
On the iron block, the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
The battlefield was in a mess, with collapsed houses, scattered corpses and broken debris everywhere. Bombs had torn the roads to pieces, and there were dark craters everywhere.
"Quick! Quick!" the officers urged as they ran.
The brothers stumbled forward in the flickering night, and from time to time someone tripped over debris and made a muffled sound.
There were exchanges of fire everywhere on the front line of Huilongji. The Japanese attack was sharp and ferocious, and the casualties of the defenders continued to rise, so much so that deputy brigade commander Zhang Lingfu had to go to the battlefield personally holding a flower machine gun.
The third battalion led by Yang Ling ran all the way to the position. The effect of daily training was highlighted. Although each brother carried dozens of kilograms of weight, the speed did not slow down.
Black shadows quickly got into the traffic ditch, and with the bullets whizzing overhead, they quickly reached the front line.
"Da da da - da da da -"
The veteran machine gunner quickly raised the Czech light machine gun, held it against his shoulder, and fired at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing over.
The violent machine gun bullets roared into the smoke. The Japanese soldiers who charged forward shouting shocking slogans were the first to bear the brunt. Several of them were immediately knocked over and fell into the trenches.
More and more Czech-style light machine guns joined the battlefield. On the entire defense line, the Czech-style light machine guns formed an airtight firepower network. Let the Japanese attack as hard as they could, except for being shot and knocked down constantly.
Beyond that, there is no way to move forward.
"Brother! From your unit?" Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were suppressed, Captain Sun Dahe realized that a new force had arrived.
"We are from the 3rd Battalion of the 301st Regiment!" Wang Meng, the company commander, answered while holding a 79 rifle in his hand and pulling the bolt to fire.
When they heard that the reinforcements had arrived, the morale of the brothers on the original position was immediately shaken.
"You came at the right time. We almost couldn't stop the little Japs." Sun Dahe happily patted Wang Meng on the shoulder and expressed his gratitude.
Sun Dahe personally picked up a Czech light machine gun and shouted at the Japs who were two hundred meters away: "Brothers! Our reinforcements are here! Beat the little Japs hard!"
The third battalion led by Yang Ling, a new force, joined the battlefield and immediately stabilized the shaky defense line. They overran all the Japanese who rushed over.
The Japanese did not expect that the defensive firepower of the defenders would suddenly become so fierce. They fought for more than ten minutes and then retreated unwillingly.
Although Yang Ling is now the deputy commander, the smoke-filled battlefield still makes his blood swell. He personally shoots the little Japs with a 79 rifle. With the firelight burning on the battlefield, he has knocked out three Japs in a short time.
, I finally got my feeling back.
Seeing the Japanese running further and further and finally disappearing into the darkness, Yang Ling put away his gun and slid down the trench again.
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire! The Japanese have escaped!"
Although the Japanese had evacuated, the excited recruits still kept pulling the bolts of their rifles and shooting, completely lacking the accuracy of the training. Who knew where the bullets were going.
"Fuck, cease fire, the Japanese have withdrawn!" Company Commander Liu Yidao shouted along the trench, dragging the recruits who were still firing into the trench and couldn't help cursing.
Although the recruits had been training all winter, this was the first time they were on the battlefield. Although they fought randomly in the pitch black darkness, they finally fired and got used to it.
"How are you, brothers?" Yang Ling asked when she saw Liu Yidao coming over.
Liu Yidao chuckled: "Much better than before, I didn't wet my pants."
Hearing this, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction. Except for a small number of recruits who were recruited to replenish the army, most of them were enthusiastic young people who took the initiative to join the army. They were very enthusiastic about the war and were not scared to the point of peeing in their pants. They were considered a
good sign.
"Pass my order to immediately take over from the 305th Regiment and repair the trenches to prevent the Japs from counterattacking."
"Yes!" Liu Yidao responded and left.
The battle started and ended quickly. Just now, there were loud explosions, and the battlefield was full of gunfire and noisy. It suddenly became quiet. Except for the heavy breathing of the brothers in the trenches, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke.
Dead silence.
The 305th Regiment led by Zhang Lingfu had been blocking here for a whole day without even having time to take a breath. Now that they saw Yang Ling arriving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the exhausted team. The position was taken over by Yang Ling and others.
The two regiments took advantage of the cover of darkness to transfer positions. The new troops entered the trenches, while the blood-stained brothers carried the wounded soldiers out one by one.
The flares also rose into the sky, illuminating the front of the position in a pale, smoke-filled position, with corpses of Japanese soldiers overlapping and intertwined, piled high.
In the simple temporary regiment headquarters, regiment leader Zhang Handuo quickly arranged the defense. Yang Ling's third battalion temporarily guarded a 500-meter-wide defense line in the front, while Lu Xing's first battalion was responsible for flank cover, and Chen Ming's second battalion
Serve as reserve team.
After the Japanese attack failed, they were not reconciled, and soon launched a new attack. The sound of mortars soon rang out on the silent battlefield.
The brothers had experience this time. Both the veterans and the new recruits hid in the trenches without showing their heads, and allowed the shells to fall on the position, causing the earth to explode and the fire to spread.
There were also unlucky ones who happened to be near the impact point of the shells and were blown up with a loud bang, but were quickly dragged down by the medical soldiers wearing red cross armbands.
"Don't be nervous. The impact point of the cannonball is far away from us. You have to learn to judge by listening to the sound, but it doesn't matter. You will be able to do it after a few battles..."
Although the whizzing bullets continued to fly overhead, the deputy battalion elder's pipe was particularly calm, and he took advantage of this short period of time to smoke a pot of dry smoke.
The tense-faced recruits around him relaxed when they saw that Lao Ci and the officers were so calm and composed.
"Fire flares!"
Liu Yidao pushed the heavy steel helmet on his head, roared behind him, and then slowly poked his head out of the trench to observe the enemy's situation.
Since becoming the direct line of the Central Army, weapons and equipment have been greatly improved. They are now equipped with a lot of flares, which were originally only available to the Japanese, and are specially equipped for this kind of night battle.
The flares slowly rose into the sky. Although the front of the position was filled with smoke, one could clearly see the Japanese soldiers holding bayonets and wearing steel helmets, who were stepping on the explosive spots.
"The little devil is coming up! The little devil is coming up! Get ready to fight!"
After Liu Yidao's shout, the entire trench moved. The brothers stood up together, lay down in the charred trench, pulled the bolts of their guns and started taking aim.
The cannon company in the camp was also ready. The two Type 24 heavy machine guns newly acquired before departure also revealed their ferocious muzzles. The entire trench was breathing heavily, and the brothers' eyes were fixed on the approaching men.
Japanese soldiers.
"Fight!" Someone shouted in the darkness, all the weapons in the trench fired, and the dead battlefield became noisy again.
The bullets were as dense as locusts, and they all rushed towards the little Japs. The dozens of Japs rushing in front did not even make a sound. They fell into a pool of blood like cutting wheat, and the ones who were not dead let out screams like killing pigs.
The screams were so horrifying to hear.
"I told you to scream again!" The muzzle of the Type 24 heavy machine gun extended towards the pile of corpses that made the screams. Blood and flesh spattered, and soon the screams disappeared.
The brothers have never fought so smoothly. In the past, they were always beaten by the Japanese, but now they are beaten by the Japanese. Not to mention feeling more energetic, they all started to grin.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Da da da--"
When all the brothers' attention was focused on the front of the position, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly came from the side and rear, roaring and rushing over along the traffic ditch.
"Japanese! There are devils behind you!"
A recruit saw his comrade being beaten to death on the ground. He turned around and saw countless black figures rushing towards him. He was so frightened that he forgot to shoot and could only scream in terror.
People with advanced skills in the Japanese Army are bold, and often a team of more than ten people would dare to infiltrate. This can be fatal to troops with weak willpower. A sudden blow from behind will cause the troops to collapse easily.
However, the 74th Army is a direct branch of the Central Army, and Yang Ling's third battalion was strictly trained by him, with strong combat effectiveness and willpower.
Captain Wang Huzi, the company commander, saw a wave of Japanese infiltrating from behind without any panic. He kicked the recruit who was yelling and disrupting the morale of the army. He picked up his gun and shouted: "Second platoon! Come with me."
!”
Wang Huzi led a platoon of brothers and rushed towards the infiltrating Japanese troops. Both sides ran and fired, and people kept being shot and fell to the ground.
Soon the two sides collided with each other, and Wang Huzi was also very strong. He smashed the oncoming Japanese into the dark trench with the butt of his rifle.
When the brothers in the second platoon saw how brave the company commander Wang Huzi was, they all rushed forward with a roar. They had already become very familiar with the assassination training during the weekdays. They no longer opened and closed, but worked in groups of three to cooperate with each other.
All the Japanese soldiers who had infiltrated were quickly wiped out.
