The Chinese soldiers did not dare to evade, so they could only lie down on the ground, staring ahead with wide eyes, and let the Japanese artillery shells explode around them! This bombardment continued until the evening, and many soldiers were killed and injured as a result!

After dark, a large number of wounded soldiers began to be sent to the military hospital in the rear.
By this time, Liao Ruolan finally became a nurse. She wore a white smock and wrapped her head with white gauze, and she began to get busy.
She was doing the most preliminary work. If the soldier was seriously injured, she would immediately instruct the migrant workers to carry the injured soldier to the operating room. If the soldier's injury was not too serious, she would hand it over to other nurses for simple hemostatic bandaging.
Once she is free, she also has another important job, which is to register every wounded soldier.
She asked them one by one their names, ages, places of origin, units they were in, etc. The soldiers' Shaanxi accents were mixed with groans of pain, and she had to ask them many times before she could find out clearly!
She didn't want to live in the Sanmen Inn or see Xiao Ancheng. She spent her own money and rented a small room in a farmyard next to the hospital. However, she stayed in the hospital almost from morning to night.
She understood that once the war started, she would not be able to leave! She could only stay!

On June 1st, it was unbearable silence again!
There was no gunfire on the national army position, and the Japanese army could not be seen on the other side! All the soldiers were lying on the position, staring at the opposite side with wide eyes! No one could guess what tricks the Japanese army was playing!
The more this happens, the more disturbing it is! This kind of silence indicates that there will be a war tomorrow!
Lin Jiatai and Qi Xuanyi took several students to various positions to understand the situation so that they could report to the 96th Army Headquarters. As soon as they left the station, they ran in all directions!
In the evening, he reported the situation of each position to his superiors before returning to his station.
They also summarized the situation themselves. During this period, Qi Xuanyi always stared at Lin Jiatai with doubtful eyes!
Lin Jiatai tried to be calm, reported the situation he learned in detail, and then looked at him with calmer eyes.

Huangcaopo. The 1059th Regiment.
On June 2nd, at three o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the Japanese army suddenly launched a full-line attack!
The first to start was Huangcaopo defended by Lei Zhanru 2nd Battalion of the 1059th Regiment of the 177th Division!
At this time, the sky in the east just turned a little blue-white, the surrounding mountains were hazy, the trees were green, and it was silent.
The sudden and continuous explosions woke up the national soldiers who were still sleeping soundly!
In the past few days, they had been on alert, without even taking off their clothes and shoes. At this moment, when the gunfire sounded, they jumped up like rabbits, picked up their rifles and ran towards the position on the mountain!
A small number of security soldiers on the mountain have already engaged the attacking Japanese soldiers!
There were repeated explosions on the position, smoke and dust filled the air, and soldiers who were shelled from time to time were blown into the sky!
When the attacking Japanese soldiers were very close to the position, the shelling gradually stopped.
At this time, the rifles and machine guns of both sides started to ring out loudly!
The Japanese attack put great pressure on the defending soldiers! Everyone can see that the Japanese army has invested a lot of troops. They are like locusts, slowly approaching the national army positions!
Therefore, the Japanese attack was slowly approaching because their attack was just like what Mr. Nakama said. They took turns charging, then lying down and shooting, and they focused on the firepower points of the national army!
Lin Jiatai and Battalion Commander Lei lay side by side on the position, observing the Japanese attack!
Lin Jiatai sent a student back to report the situation in Huangcaopo to the division headquarters, "You go back and report! There may be three thousand Japanese troops! We can't hold on for long!"
At this time, Battalion Commander Lei became very anxious. He whispered: "Brother Lin, we are in a bad situation!"
Lin Jiatai glanced at him and immediately looked around. He found that the Japanese troops on the front were attacking in a pressure-type manner and were not urgent! But the Japanese troops on both sides were circling towards them! They were in danger of being surrounded!
He hurriedly said: "Sir Lei, we have to withdraw! If we stay any longer, none of us can escape!"
At this time, the student sent by Lin Jiatai ran back. There was another person following him, Qi Xuanyi!
As soon as Qi Xuanyi rushed to the battlefield, he yelled at Lin Jiatai: "Lin Jiatai, why don't you send someone back to report! Contact was interrupted, do you know?"
Lin Jiatai had no choice but to say: "Sir Qi, there was no movement yesterday. The war started today, so we sent people back!"
Qi Xuanyi shouted again: "Captain Lei, Commander Chen ordered that if the Huangcaopo position is in danger, abandon it immediately! Concentrate your strength to defend Yungai Temple!" Seeing that Commander Lei didn't seem to believe it, he added: "This is what Commander Chen ordered in person.
The command!"
In this way, Battalion Commander Lei has nothing to hesitate! The situation in front of him is too dangerous! If he does not withdraw, not a single person in his battalion may be able to escape!
He shouted: "Commander, notify each company to cover each other and retreat!"
But Battalion Commander Lei did not expect that his troops withdrew, but the Japanese troops followed him closely! He could only fight and retreat at the same time, the situation was very dangerous!

Hejialing. The 46th Independent Brigade.
When the Japanese army was chasing behind Battalion Commander Lei and attacking Yungai Temple, another Japanese army was diagonally thrusting in the southeast! Their target was extremely clear, which was Hejialing between the former brick kiln and Yungai Temple!
Yungai Temple is the second line of defense of the 177th Division! The former brick kiln is the position defended by the 46th Independent Brigade!
According to the battle plan of Commander-in-Chief Sun Weiru, Yuungai Temple and the former brick kiln should support each other.
At this time, the Japanese army had captured Huangcaopo and was attacking Yungai Temple. Kong Congzhou's 46th Independent Brigade should reinforce Yungai Temple! However, Brigadier Kong's troops were blocked at Hejialing!
To reinforce Yungai Temple, you must pass through Hejialing!
Zheng Peiyuan, commander of the 738th Regiment of the 46th Independent Brigade, was anxious and ordered his troops to attack.
The commander of the 1st Battalion, Zhang Zifu, led his troops to charge to Hejialing. The charge of the national soldiers was no longer the same kind of shouting charge in the past. Instead, according to Mr. Zhongjian's instructions, they took turns charging and shooting!
However, the Japanese machine guns were so fierce that a cloud of dust erupted in the Nationalist charge, which was like a wave of earth! There were still many soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground!
The commander of the first company, Gao Yuxue (communist), was furious. He raised a machine gun and fired violently, trying to suppress the Japanese machine guns.
But the Japanese army's firepower was even more intense! At the same time, several machine guns fired at the firepower point of Company Commander Gao! A series of machine gun bullets were shot towards their side like water! Battalion Commander Zhang Zifu was seriously injured!
At the same time, several machine gun bullets shot into Captain Gao's head and chest! He fell backward, blood splattered in the air! (Screen freeze)
Subtitle: "Gao Yuxue attended the meeting between Commander Zhao and the party members in the army on April 18, so he must be a communist! But his birthplace, place of birth, and the time he joined the party are unknown! I will leave a note here for those who want to know.
Replenish!"
After several attacks by the 738th Regiment, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and Commander Zheng had to order the attack to stop!
Soon after, the situation reversed! The 738th Regiment was attacked by the Japanese army! Commander Zheng was in a disadvantageous situation and had to order a retreat! He left a company to stop the Japanese army and led his troops to retreat from the brick kiln!
The person left behind to block the attack was the second company of Changzhiya's second battalion, company commander Gao Zhengfang.
He led more than a hundred soldiers in his company to occupy a very small hill to stop the Japanese army!
However, there were more than a thousand Japanese troops who came to attack! Their firepower was unreasonably powerful!
The Japanese machine gun bullets were like a violent storm, roaring and pouring on the national army positions!
The national soldiers on the position were hit by bullets one after another, their bodies and faces were covered in blood, and they fell to the position!
Captain Gao kept shouting, "Fight! Fight! Press them down!"
At this moment, a string of machine gun bullets hit him in the chest! He only had time to wave his hand to the platoon leader Chen Zuobin (communist), indicating that he would take over the command, and he could no longer move!
The platoon leader Chen Zuobin acted as the company commander for a very short time! He raised a fist, indicating that the whole company would listen to his command! At this moment, a string of machine gun bullets broke his right arm! He opened his eyes furiously and grabbed it with his left hand.
He fired the shell gun and only shouted: "Hit!" Another string of machine gun bullets hit his forehead! He fell to the position, still glaring at the Japanese soldiers down the mountain! (Screen freeze)
Subtitle: "Chen Zuobin, a native of Ganjiazhai, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, was born in 1914. He was a guard of Brigadier Kong Congzhou. He joined the party in 1938."
After that, in just a few minutes, all the national soldiers on the hill were killed by the machine gun bullets that were fired at the ground! No one survived!
The Japanese machine guns fired wildly for another five minutes before gradually stopping!
The Japanese commander only sent a small number of soldiers up the mountain to clean up the battlefield! The large group of soldiers continued to rush towards the former brick kiln defended by the 738th Regiment!

Wenjiazhuang. The 97th Regiment.
The small Wenjiazhuang is located directly north of Zhangdian Town and east of the northern extension of Zhangmao Highway. At this time, it is being attacked from two sides by the Japanese troops in Xia County in the north and the Japanese troops in Zhangdian Town in the south!
The 2nd Battalion of the 97th Regiment of the 17th Division is holding on tenaciously in Wenjiazhuang! Preventing the Japanese troops in Xia County from joining the Japanese troops in Zhangdian Town! But the situation is extremely dangerous!
Qi Zhenluan (communist), commander of the 2nd Battalion, was born in Yuanshi County, Hebei Province in 1909 and joined the Party in 1937.
He is a tall, lean and lean man with a dark and tough appearance. At first glance, he is an officer with a fiery temper.
At this time, he hunched over and ran back and forth on the position, directing the soldiers to fight! The Japanese army attacked from two sides, and the attack was extremely fierce. The artillery shells fell on his position like dumplings, and shrapnel roared and flew everywhere!
As soon as the battle started, he sent someone to ask for reinforcements from the 46th Independent Brigade in Cypress Ridge. By nine o'clock in the morning, the reinforcements still had not arrived! But his position was about to be undefendable!
At this moment, a bullet hit his waist. The commander of the fifth company ran towards him.
He shouted: "You command! You command! Leave me alone!"
He covered the wound with one hand and looked up to the south at the same time! Reinforcements were coming, but they could only come from the south!?
