Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 457 Distance, Three Kilometers!

Yes, the Japanese general offensive had already started 10 minutes ago.

From a geographical point of view, the Chinese heavy firepower erected on the flank of the trench "Guling" can become the reliance of the Japanese infantry that cannot cross the river, so the 12 heavy machine guns that the Japanese army has already set up to occupy this position will become at least 800. The nightmare of m trenches.

The continuous rain of bullets either slid over the trenches, or fell into the trenches and set off a bloodbath.

As a last resort, the machine guns and heavy machine guns originally used to suppress the Japanese infantry's charge could only be turned to shoot at the Japanese heavy machine guns.

The infantry within 500 meters of the trench closest to the "Guling" all withdrew to another position, which undoubtedly voluntarily gave up the original complete trench position.

Although there were also three light machine guns and a dozen rifles to block this big opening to a certain extent, it was obvious that this would definitely become the weakest area of ​​the entire defense line.

The Japanese army will definitely focus on attacking this place, so as to detour around the flanks of the battlefield for outflanking attacks.

This time, the Japanese army only spent 10 minutes of artillery preparation before the infantry began to charge.

Kanda Shochu, as he said, left the field headquarters since the shelling began, and took Seto Nellie and a large number of staff officers from the Wing Department to stand in the temporary trench dug by the supervisory team.

On the battlefield where the flames of war are raging, the Japanese army commander still has to stand upright and hold a telescope to observe the battlefield that is no more than 400 meters away. However, the waist-deep trench will show Kanda, who is not tall but can show his chest and abdomen Zheng Zhong seemed very wise and mighty.

But there was a point, the Japanese infantry who had entered the charging state couldn't see it, and if they fired stray bullets, they could kill the army chief who had to show off for his future.

Of course, it doesn't matter that the Colonel is dead, the important thing is that he can't die. Seeing that he was going to stand in the trench with this idiot, Seto Nelli immediately ordered to add sandbags in front of the trench.

Fortunately, the short legs of the senior officers of the 36th Infantry Brigade reduced the workload of the Japanese army. Dozens of Japanese troops worked together to lay sandbags more than ten meters long and 5 meters high in front of the trench in less than 0.4 minutes. Only their heads were exposed. The chances of encountering stray bullets on the bullet-receiving surface are much smaller.

The Colonel of the Army was obviously not an idiot, and he gave the order for the infantry to charge only after the fortifications were built to ensure his own safety.

On the Chinese side, after all, some people left.

The stingy major, who looked bleak and decided to fight to the death with his old comrades, was finally persuaded by his company commander.

He is not a god, he is still a layman.

If the entire guard battalion of the two divisions were wiped out and there were no survivors, even if the establishment was rebuilt in the future, it would not be the original guard battalion.

Because no one will continue their spirit.

However, it was not the first company of the 107th Division Guard Battalion who was driven away by the stingy major with a gloomy expression. With his acquiescence, each company sent ten people to evacuate the seriously wounded and medical teams who were transferred to the rear of the position.

However, there are very few veterans among these dozens of people, and most of them are recruits under the age of 20 from the two guard battalions.

That was a group of new recruits just recruited by the two guard battalions after the battle on the North China battlefield to fill up the personnel.

Originally, the soldiers to replenish the guard battalion should be veterans of more than three years drawn from the infantry regiments. However, after the war, the infantry regiments suffered heavy losses. The strong are looking for excellent people to supplement, and they are expected to grow rapidly after experiencing a few battles under the leadership of veterans.

But no one expected that as soon as they arrived in the southeast battlefield, they would encounter the Songjiang blockade against the [-] Japanese army and the current field blockade with even greater disparity in strength.

The previous battle was fine. Although it was a fierce battle for several days, it was still not to the point where no one on the front line had to carry a gun to the battlefield. The guard battalions of the two divisions did not enter the battlefield as the last reserve team to fight to the death.

It can also be said that the battlefield here is the first battle that the few recruits from the two guard battalions participated in.

The first battle is a battle to the death.

In such a terrifying battlefield, the veterans suffered heavy casualties. It is conceivable how many recruits can survive to the present, but there are actually very few.

It doesn't really make much sense to keep them here, but it's just a waste of death.

The veterans almost unanimously gave up the precious places they were ordered to evacuate to their little brothers who were usually ridiculed, bullied or even yelled at by them.

It's not that veterans are not afraid of death, but that the spirit of "the strong protect the weak" that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, even if they haven't read a book or studied in school for a few days, it is still impregnated in their bones.

Moreover, these veterans understand the truth better. Keeping the recruits here will only make the battle collapse earlier. Since the retreating personnel have to bring seriously wounded soldiers and medical teams, let alone 10 minutes earlier, even an hour earlier, It is also destined to be caught up and killed.

It's better for them to stay here and fight to the death to win a little life for these 'seeds'.

To put it bluntly, those who stay on the battlefield are doomed to die, and those who are ordered to retreat are not 100% able to survive. Their lives are not even in their own hands, but entirely depend on the persistence of the veterans on the frontline battlefield. He Tang Dao led the main force to return to the speed of aid.

Pang Dahai's fire support company was also allocated ten places, but the fire support company was selected by Tang Dao from the 67th Army and the 43rd Army. To decide everyone's stay or stay.

More than 100 shells were put into a box that was only opened to allow one hand to reach in, and only ten of the shells were scratched with the tip of a bayonet, which is fair.

Originally, Pang Dahai and his three platoon leaders refused to participate in the heart-wrenching draw to decide who would go and who would stay.

However, the soldiers begged and looked at him, letting the captain and company commander know that if they refused, they would destroy the original fairness.

There is no distinction between officers and soldiers in a mortal battlefield.

Everything depends on the arrangement of God, which is what the Chinese people in desperate situation believe in.

One by one, the soldiers who got the scratches on the shells stood up, including a second lieutenant platoon leader with his arms hanging by his military uniform, but there were only nine of them. All the shells without scratches had been thrown to the ground long ago. No one knows exactly who gave up their places.

Perhaps only the platoon leader of the second lieutenant, who lowered his head and was trembling all over, knew that after the company commander beside him took out the shell casing, he threw it under his feet after a symbolic glance, and stomped it down silently.

As the platoon leader of the mortar platoon, he really wanted to discard the bullet casings that had a chance of life like the officer, but, thinking of his old mother who was looking forward to at home, he couldn't do it after all.

"The retreating brothers need a commander, and the battalion commander also needs a good gunner. You don't need to blame yourself. Take the brothers alive to find the battalion commander. By the way, help me tell the battalion commander. Since the withdrawal from the Northeast, this is the best fight in Panghai Pang Pang Hai is very happy to fight side by side with a pure soldier like him." Pang Pang Hai lightly patted his subordinate on the shoulder, with a smile on Yuanyuan's face.

There was no usual salute. The Chinese soldiers who stayed on the battlefield turned their backs to face the battlefield, and the soldiers who left turned their heads three times at a step and left crying.

There is guilt and reluctance in this, and what's more, this parting will never see each other again.

It is not easy to choose death, but it is equally difficult to choose life.

Those who leave the battlefield also have missions on their shoulders.

The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly. I am afraid that no one thought that the outbreak of the battle would start from this retreating army.

The two infantry squads that the Japanese army detoured to the battlefield five or six kilometers away encountered them at a distance of 1000 meters behind the battlefield.

Shit yellow and dark gray, in the dark, the closest distance is only less than 40 meters.

The Japanese army did not expect to encounter Chinese soldiers here, and the Chinese soldiers also did not expect to encounter Japanese troops so far behind their positions.

Both sides had flashlights, and the Chinese used ones captured from the Japanese army. Under the light of the lampposts, the colors of the military uniforms of both sides let the two sides know that they had encountered the enemy.

The fiery gunshots sounded instantly!
The front-line battlefield in the distance also opened the curtain of madness because of the gunshots and the explosion of grenades in this encounter.

The seeds that were originally used to carry the wounded to retreat turned out to be the rear barrier of the first-line battlefield. Otherwise, the consequences of letting this Japanese army enter the undefended trenches would be disastrous.

However, 100 vs. 90, one side is still mostly recruits and exhausted soldiers. Most of the ammunition left in the first place is left to the comrades who have not left.

Unparalleled disadvantage.

Gu Xishui is on his way here.

The distance is three kilometers!
