On Chinese New Year's Eve, according to custom, the night should be brightly lit, but there is no light in the defense area of the New 33rd Army, and according to accurate intelligence, the Japanese army has begun to advance today, and unprecedented fighting has broken out in the Jingxi area.

The telephone ringing in Hu Guoshan's headquarters never stopped, and all kinds of noisy voices converged, proving that the Japanese army was already launching a large-scale attack on them.

"Lao Hu, the Japanese army is not good, the little devils usually don't attack us at night, this is this ......"

The little devil's attack on the Jingcheng area this time was not only at night, but also used elite armored troops and cavalry units, and the cold wind howled in the dark, and the cavalry rushed to their positions on Hu Guoshan like small tanks, and instantly lost four positions in the Jingcheng area.

"There's no way, we can only use our heads to top!"

Hu Guoshan didn't expect the Japanese army to be so crazy, as if he had vented all the grievances accumulated over hundreds of years here in Hu Guoshan.

"Division commander, division commander, the 534 positions held by the 3rd Regiment are lost, ask for artillery support!" A communications soldier hung up the phone and reported to Hu Guoshan.

"Five-three-four!" Hu Guoshan gritted the root of his back teeth, "Tell the third regiment commander to take back the 534 position, otherwise the military law will be engaged!" ”

Hu Guoshan's troops were too expanded some time ago, and the soldiers fought several skirmishes with the little devils on the front line, winning more and losing less, and pride grew, and at this time they encountered a little setback and began to constantly ask the division headquarters for help. The problems that had accumulated some time ago also erupted in this battle.

"Report to the division commander, the first line of the Zhengtai Railway has been attacked by the Japanese armored group, and the second regiment commander has ordered to abandon the forward position, and is now holding on to the city, asking for troops to be sent to support!"

Wars broke out everywhere overnight, and all the anger accumulated by the little devils was vented on Hu Guoshan!

"He's brewed! There are more than 3,000 people in one regiment of the second regiment, and they can't hold such a position, so tell him that if he takes another step back, he will be killed! ”

Hu Guoshan didn't expect his troops to retreat so quickly, he knew that he should put his old troops at the forefront, Hu Guoshan thought that the little devil's first attack would not be so fierce, so he put the recruits in the first batch to fight a few battles with the little devil to hone and hone, but the Japanese army did not intend to give Hu Guoshan a chance to fight back.

What Hu Guoshan didn't expect was that their troops didn't hold on to the front line even for a night, if Liao Fan hadn't given him the right to retreat, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to go back to Taihang Mountain to see Liao Fan.

The sound of cannons rumbled, the original sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve became the sound of gunfire, and the originally peaceful night no longer had the calm of the past, and many people had begun to move to the Taihang Mountain.

Liao Fan had already made preparations to prevent the Japanese spies from being mixed with the people, so he arranged for someone to conduct a detailed investigation of the people who entered the mountain, and then arranged for them to take shelter in a fixed place temporarily.

Seeing that more and more people escaped, Liao Fan knew that the battle situation on the front line was fierce, and the people would definitely not leave their homes and run out on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I hope Lao Hu can hold on a little longer!" Liao Fan is very worried about the situation on the front line, but now his identity can no longer appear on the front line, if a army commander goes to the front line, it is irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers of the whole army.

The battle on the front line was extremely fierce, the little devil's shells were poured on the position in tons, the fire in the cold night engulfed everything in the darkness, the soldiers fell, the position was crumbling, those recruits had never encountered such a tragic battle, seeing the comrades around them fall and struggle in a pool of blood, they were on the verge of collapse several times.

"Pick up your gun, you're a warrior, go fight!" The company commander urged his soldiers back and forth on the position to open fire, and when he saw the soldiers trembling in the trenches, he directly grabbed them, and then roared loudly.

"Three platoon commanders, take care of your soldiers! Don't just kill yourself! ”

The soldiers are novices, and the platoon commander is a veteran, but they don't have much experience as a platoon commander, and they only care about shooting at the little devils, and they seem to have forgotten their responsibilities as a platoon commander.

The soldiers clung to the trenches, and they used the flames of the explosion to aim at the enemy's figure, constantly shooting at the rushing enemy, and it was impossible to see if they had knocked down the enemy. In the darkness, the warriors had no idea if they were already under siege, because there were gunshots and explosions everywhere, and the recruits had no ability to judge them.

Fortunately, their company commander was still by their side, and as long as they had companions and comrades-in-arms by their side, they could rely on each other to support each other.

The guns rang out for most of the night, and then fell silent, as if nothing had happened in the darkness. The flares swayed in the air, like stars falling in the sky, drawing a light in the night and finally returning to darkness, like this war that never seemed to have been.

"Let's rest for a while, I'm afraid the little devils won't attack again before dawn!" The platoon commander arranged the sentry and said to the recruits.

At this time, where can the recruits still sleep, although they have fought all night, but their nerves are still highly tense, Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be a sleepless night, but today it is no longer family members who accompany them on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the cold flares, one after another across the dark night sky, permanently disappearing in their lives.

The battle in the middle of the night finally stopped, not only the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Guoshan was very excited after learning that the Japanese army had stopped attacking, but he had no time to rest, he needed to transfer troops and send generals, and replace the new regiments that had just experienced the battle with their old troops, otherwise the forward position would belong to the little devil after dawn.

The soldiers withdrew from their positions in an orderly manner, they did not know how they had survived the night, but they knew that many fighters would never appear in their lives again. The war destroyed their original desire to join the army, but it also made them strong warriors.

"A bowl of ginger soup for everyone, don't grab it!"

Logistics had prepared hot soup for the retreating soldiers, and held out in the cold wind all night, although the soldiers had forgotten the cold, but looking at these hot ginger soups, they felt that they were really alive.

"Hurry up and rest, the Japanese attack will not stop, the squad leader will take them to check their guns and ammunition, and we will be ready to go up at any time!" The company commander, a two-year veteran, understood what the battle meant, and he had to urge his troops to prepare before the battle, otherwise they would be a corpse on the battlefield.

The detached soldiers were in no mood to speak, and they were immersed in their own worlds, perhaps thinking of their father, mother, brothers and sisters, of the girl to be married in the next village, or of the hares on the mountain behind the village...... From this moment on, everything was far away from them, and the war deprived them of everything, giving them only the right to guns, ammunition, and medicine and the right to kill and be killed.

The company commander listened to the breathing of the soldiers, he knew that these half-grown boys were not asleep, and it was a luxury to have a place to rest quietly in such a war, he turned over, and gradually snoring, in his sleep, he married his fiancée, they had children, their own land, and a happy family......

The first rays of the dawn shone on the window lattice, the rumbling of cannons sounded in the distance, and the soldiers rubbed their sore eyes, today was the first day of the new year. It was only then that the warriors noticed that their companions' faces had already been blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and their clothes were tattered with several holes.

"Come and wash your face, no matter what, today is the first day of the new year, it's clean! After washing my face, we went to eat, the logistics department has prepared for us, there is no training task today! You can take a good rest! ”

The task of the front line has been given to the other troops, and they are temporarily away from the place where they least want to go, although this is less than ten miles away from there, but they want to look like this, they have already experienced the war, and they no longer want to demand war, even if this war is only ten miles away from them.

The company commander looked at the soldiers under his command, he knew very well what these soldiers thought, because he came over like this, but it took a while to buffer and digest the current experience, soldiers are different from ordinary people, they carry more things on their shoulders and carry more things than ordinary people, especially the soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and there is no peaceful life in their lives.

The morning sun shines warmly on their bodies, and some warriors open their arms and embrace the sun, they never thought that the sunshine that they could see every day would one day become a luxury, and they went back and forth in life and death, they cherish the current peace more, but they still have to shed blood and sacrifice for the peace in the future.

The soldiers stayed in the dormitory after eating, and the life of the soldiers was boring, and there was nothing to entertain them except for training. The situation at the front became the news they were most concerned about.

They obviously don't like going there the most, but they still have to try their best to inquire about the news there.

"Good news for everyone!" At noon, news finally came from the front line, "The Japanese launched four charges on our positions under the cover of tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery, but they were all repulsed by our brother troops, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and the positions were full of corpses of little devils......"

In fact, of course, the situation on the battlefield is not as good as the news says, the veterans naturally understand the rules, the news is used to boost morale, and the morale of the troops can only be drummed, not vented!
