The deafening sound of artillery finally stopped. The brothers' ears were buzzing with the roar, and they felt that the ground was no longer shaking violently. They knew that the sound of artillery had stopped.
"Up! Up! Press on!"
The shirtless Liu Yidao suddenly jumped up from the ground, like a swift cheetah, shouting at the top of his lungs to his brothers.
The brothers' ears had not yet recovered from the roar of the shelling, and they could not hear clearly what Liu Yidao was shouting, but with the help of the firelight that illuminated the sky for half a day, they could still clearly see Liu Yidao's forward gesture.
Countless people suddenly stood up on the thick black ground, stretching into the invisible darkness. Seeing so many brothers fighting side by side around them, they felt more at ease than ever before.
In order to build fortification trenches, the Japanese cut down many forests, but it did not help. The overwhelming artillery fire still blew their outer defense line to pieces.
The crowd of shirtless people quickly spread towards the Japanese burning position. The entire charging team was silent, and the heavy pressure made people breathless.
The Japanese outposts and outer positions had been ravaged by artillery fire, and the blasted logs and mutilated corpses were half-hidden in the hot floating soil.
"Spread out! Spread out! Stop the fucking crowd!"
When they were still more than 100 meters away from the Japanese position, the ranks rang out with the curses of commanders at all levels, and the advancing ranks suddenly opened three attack lines.
The bombing left the Japanese soldiers' positions in a state of chaos. The ground was full of huge craters, and corpses with mangled flesh and blood from explosions kept jumping into the field of vision.
The brothers' breathing became so rapid that the explosion evaporated all the moisture in the air. The scorching heat made the brothers start to sweat all over their bodies. They had successfully broken into the Japanese soldiers' forward position, but they did not stop.
"If you encounter a corpse, just hit it with one knife, so you don't get shot in the dark!"
During the extremely fast trot, commanders would remind the brothers from time to time, followed by the sound of bayonets piercing flesh, like exploding into a ripe watermelon.
In fact, under such a violent artillery attack, the little Japs standing in the trenches had already been blown up together with the trenches. Those who were not killed were also killed by the strong shock wave. The last attack was completely subconscious.
.
"Devil!"
A brother who was trotting in front suddenly shouted, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. In the crackling fire, a little devil in ragged clothes and without a helmet, perhaps stunned by the explosion, staggered towards them.
come over.
"There are no weapons! Go up and kill him!" The platoon leader was a veteran. When he saw the dizzy little devil, he gave the order decisively.
The two wolf-like brothers quickly jumped over the dark crater.
Two plastered bayonets pierced the little Japanese's body from two directions without hesitation.
"ah!"
The little devil felt the pain, and he could see the group of Chinese officers and soldiers clearly with the help of the firelight. He wanted to struggle, but his body became limp, and as the bayonet was pulled out, he soon fell to the ground limply.
Countless pairs of Chinese officers and soldiers wearing straw sandals and cloth shoes didn't even glance at this unlucky Japanese soldier. They trotted forward in depth. They wanted to make a surprise attack on the little Japanese soldier with lightning speed.
On the battlefield of Wanjialing, thirteen death squads broke into the Japanese defense line from different directions and attacked their deep core positions. The sound of gunfire gradually became denser.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The dull sound of gunfire spread far in the darkness, and several Japanese soldiers who had just emerged from the bunker staggered to the ground.
"It's the Chinese! The Chinese are attacking!"
The gunfire shocked the little Japs hiding in the bunker. They howled and rushed out of the bunker, just in time to see the Chinese officers and soldiers rushing towards them with bayonets in hand.
Seeing the Chinese officers and soldiers rushing towards them with bayonets in hand, the little devils all breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not afraid of bayonet fighting. In the bayonet fighting melee, both in terms of physical strength and stabbing skills, the Chinese officers and soldiers were one level weaker.
"Grenade!"
Just as the little Japanese breathed a sigh of relief and was about to bayonet with the rushing Chinese officers and soldiers, suddenly the Chinese commander gave the order to throw grenades.
The more than 20 brothers running in front took off the grenade from their waists like a reflex, unscrewed the bottom cover, pulled the fuse, and then threw it towards the Japanese. The whole action was completed in one go.
When the little Japanese saw the grenades with wooden handles whirling towards them, they were all shocked and speechless. They cursed in their hearts and hurriedly lay down to hide.
"Disperse!" the Japanese commander shouted hastily, but it was already too late.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded quickly, and the roar of the explosion drowned out the screams of the Japanese soldiers. The strong shock wave knocked the Japanese soldiers into all directions. Many people were covered in blood from being scratched by the explosive fragments. They were rolling on the ground and howling in pain.
Before the smoke cleared, the Chinese officers and soldiers were already approaching with bayonets in hand. The sound of popping and popping continued, ending the screams of the Japanese soldiers.
The Chinese officers and soldiers are too lazy to fight with the Japs on their bayonets unless they run out of ammunition and have no choice but to do so.
This time, in order to encircle and annihilate the Matsuura Division, the Ninth War Zone emptied its wealth and equipped the brothers with a lot of ammunition.
You have bullets and grenades, but you are going to fight with the little devil on the bayonet? Unless you have a brain convulsion.
The thirteen death squads soon evolved into countless small attack groups. They took advantage of every opportunity to attack the Japanese in depth. In the dark night, there were gunshots and shouts everywhere, and the two sides fought like a pot of porridge.
The main forces from all walks of life followed closely behind the death squads and launched ferocious attacks on the Japanese from different directions.
There were loud shouts of killing and heavy gunfire from all directions, making it difficult for the little devil to figure out how many Chinese troops were attacking.
"Have you contacted the squadron leader?"
In a bunker at a tactical support point, the Japanese lieutenant with his arms hanging on his chest asked a Japanese soldier solemnly.
The Japanese replied: "The phone is not responding. It must have been blown up..."
The artillery shells not only caused great damage to the Japs in the outer positions, but also blew up the telephone lines, cutting off their communication with each other, forcing the Japs in the trenches and bunkers to fight alone.
"You two run to the squadron..."
The Japanese Lieutenant now urgently needs to know the situation on the battlefield. Has the Chinese Army launched a general offensive? Are they holding on or retreating?
Now that he has lost contact with his superiors and friendly forces, he feels unprecedentedly uneasy and urgently needs to get in touch with them.
After receiving the order, the two Japanese soldiers were about to crawl out of the bunker when suddenly there was a roar not far away and a huge fireball shot up. Countless pieces of wood and sand flew in all directions in the billowing smoke.
The sudden explosion made the Japanese Lieutenant feel nervous, and he hurried to the observation hole and looked in the direction of the explosion.
That was another tactical support point, which had been completely destroyed by the explosion. With the help of the explosion's fire, he saw Chinese officers and soldiers jumping into the smoke...
"The Chinese have attacked here!" The Japanese lieutenant's pupils shrank and he was shocked. Why didn't he hear any movement?
Just as the Japanese Lieutenant was shocked, another bunker on the left also exploded with a loud bang, and faint screams could be heard.
"Quick, fire the flares!"
Looking at the dark wilderness outside the bunker, the Japanese Lieutenant suddenly felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet.
