Eight hundred and fortieth chapters bloody soldiers
The boundless darkness surged in from a distance like a tide, swallowing up the fields and reed marshes. The cold wind howled, and as night fell, the world fell into a dark silence.
The dark clouds of war enveloped Huaiyin City, and the residents in the city closed their doors and turned off their lights early. In Huaiyin City, with a population of more than 100,000, only the wind lanterns swaying in the cold wind were left, emitting a faint light.
The fields outside the city were bright and clear, piles of bonfires were lit in the temporary camp of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, and the fragrant meals were cooked well.
On the contrary, the side of the Japanese position was dim and dull. Even the searchlights that were used to illuminate it were pitch black and unresponsive, leaving only the outline of the trench and bunker outside.
"Brothers, our troops have launched counterattacks against the Japs in Hunan, Wuhan, and both sides of the Yangtze River. The little Japs everywhere are left hanging on to their last breath!"
In the camp of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, the guerrilla commander held a wine bowl high and stood on an ammunition box to carry out pre-war mobilization.
"good!"
When the guerrilla brothers gathered in a circle heard such news, they were all excited, and their hard faces exuded excitement under the light of the fire.
"The little Japs are dead. We have millions of troops counterattacking this time. The Chairman said that within a month at the latest, we will completely wipe out the little Japs!"
The guerrilla commander's words were so drooling that the brothers below felt their blood boil with excitement, and every pore exuded raging fighting spirit.
"Our friendly forces are recovering cities one after another. Not to mention that far away, Commander Yu Xuezhong has already led troops to attack Tai'an and Tongcheng. In the south, our 89th Army is also attacking Gaoyou, Chuxian, and Baoying. We are adjacent to Edi
The 11th Guerrilla Column will soon regain Lianshui!"
"Our Ninth Guerrilla Column is also a Chinese man with a command. Can we just watch the friendly troops eat meat while we drink soup?!"
"Enter Huaiyin and destroy the Japanese!" The brothers shouted like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
The guerrilla commander raised his hand and said loudly: "Yes, we can't let others look down on us. We also want to take revenge and completely eliminate the Japanese in Huaiyin!"
"After drinking this bowl of wine, we will never return without victory!" The guerrilla commander held the wine bowl high, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
The brothers also drank the wine in their bowls one after another and strengthened their determination to kill the enemy and serve the country.
The guerrilla column camp outside the city was brightly lit and bustling, while Huaiyin City was shrouded in darkness, like a dormant beast that preyed on people.
"Have the guerrillas moved out?"
In the dimly lit Japanese battalion headquarters, Japanese battalion leader Yamaguchi Akamatsu held a saber in both hands, his eyes as sharp as knives.
The intelligence staff member replied: "Captain, the Chinese guerrillas are setting up camp to rest and recuperate. I'm afraid they won't attack today."
Yamaguchi Akamatsu's dagger-like gaze cast into the dark night sky outside the window, as if it was about to crush the night. He shook his head: "Strengthen your vigilance. The Chinese Army is good at fighting at night. I think they will definitely come."
"Hiyi!"
The Japanese intelligence officer turned around and left the house. A cold wind flowed into the house along the door, making the map on the table rattle.
Martial law has been imposed in the city, and there is a solemn atmosphere. Occasionally, a patrol of Japanese soldiers walks through the streets, and the sound of their suede leather shoes makes a loud noise.
Although the Ninth Guerrilla Column outside the city was brightly lit and seemed to have no intention of attacking, in fact, it was just a hindrance to people's ears and eyes.
After the mobilization meeting, the guerrilla units responsible for the attack quietly left the camp and plunged into the dark wilderness, heading towards their intended attack targets.
Liu Jinhu, the leader of the First Guerrilla Detachment, led more than 500 guerrilla officers and soldiers under the cover of darkness and made a large circle to the east of Huaiyin City.
At this moment, these guerrilla officers and soldiers were like giant insects, crawling close to the Japanese position under the cover of night.
The Japs did not light a bonfire or turn on the searchlights. The entire position was pitch dark. Although they could not see anything, Liu Jinhu and the others knew that in that dark place, there must be little Japs on guard with guns in hand.
"Da da da......"
When the captain of the first team, Liu Jinhu, and the others crawled to a place about a hundred meters in front of the Japanese subway wire mesh, a crisp sound of machine gunfire suddenly came from the west of the city.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Immediately afterwards, I saw countless light-drawing projectiles hitting the Japanese position with a stream of light, and a rumble of explosions came, and the flames of the explosion made the area red.
"attack!"
Seeing that the friendly detachment had taken the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese, Liu Jinhu did not hesitate any longer and gave the attack order with a wave of his hand.
More than 500 guerrilla officers and soldiers lying on the ground jumped up one after another, holding rifles and pounced towards the Japanese position in front.
"Da da da......"
"Teng Teng Teng..."
Just a few steps after more than twenty guerrilla brothers rushed out, strings of flames erupted in front of them, and bullets from the light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese position were swept over.
The bodies of these brothers who rushed forward were covered with blood mist, and they fell to the ground while swaying violently from side to side.
"Kill--"
At this moment, there was no turning back. Since the attack had already been launched, there was no reason to turn back. The brothers behind shouted, jumped over the bodies of the sacrificed brothers, and pounced on them again.
"Bang bang bang..."
The whistling bullets became denser, and the piercing screams filled the entire space. The light and heavy machine guns on both sides roared at each other like beasts.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Japanese grenades and mortars fired one after another, and balls of explosive fireballs exploded in the charging ranks. Many brothers screamed and were blown away before they could even make a sound.
The brothers were blown away by the explosion like kites with broken strings, and then fell to the ground like rocks, with blood and broken flesh flying everywhere.
But none of the brothers flinched. Although they were all guerrillas, they also had a passionate patriotism, and they rushed forward one after another.
Several bundles of cluster grenades hit the barbed wire fence. Amidst the deafening explosions, the enemy's barbed wire interception fence was blown up and down, exposing several holes.
The guerrilla brothers poured in through several gaps like a tide, and the Japanese machine guns immediately swept over and blocked it.
"Puff-"
The dull sound of bullets penetrating gunshots continued to sound, and the brothers rushing in front were covered in blood holes.
But they still held their breath and rushed forward, because they knew that if they fell, they would block the gap and affect the charge of the brothers behind them.
The guerrilla column's attack was launched. More than ten detachments were divided into more than ten attack groups, which were like knives inserted into the Japanese positions from different directions.
The guerrilla column's mortars and heavy machine guns opened fire one after another, smashing everything within the firing range. The Japanese were not to be outdone, and shells with red traces hit the charging team one after another.
Bullets flew around the ears, and the blood of the brothers in front spattered. Many people were blown away by the shells and rolled into the darkness, as if they were swallowed by the darkness and never got up again.
"kill!"
Although the enemy's firepower was ferocious, the guerrilla officers and soldiers were all tough Chinese soldiers. In just over ten minutes, they stepped on the corpses of their fallen brothers and broke into the enemy's first trench.
The detachment leader Liu Jinhu rushed a short distance of 150 meters, but his body was already spattered with blood. The dark charge team in front of him had become sparse, and the Japanese machine guns with gleaming flames could be seen.
He threw out a bundle of cluster grenades with all his strength, his body rolled over, and with a bang, the Japs and the machine gun were blown to pieces, and the broken flesh and mud that fell all over the sky covered him.
"Charge!" Liu Jinhu ignored the ringing in his ears and rushed into the Japanese trench with bayonet in hand.
A Japanese soldier who was stunned by the bombing saw someone throwing himself into the trench. He screamed strangely and raised his bayonet to stab him, but Liu Jinhu dodged with his side.
The Japanese's bayonet pierced into the soil. Liu Jinhu swung the butt of his gun and hit the Japanese on the head. A dull sound was heard. The Japanese was knocked over and the bayonet also pierced into the Japanese's heart.
"Keep moving forward! Don't stop!"
When Liu Jinhu saw the brothers behind him, they also followed him one after another. He pulled out his bloody bayonet and rushed along the traffic trench towards the Japanese second trench.
