Chapter 837: Tough Battle

"I can't sleep, what about you, Liu Ying?"

Lu Kang arranged for Liu Ying and the three of them to stay in an ordinary barracks, and Lixiang was called away because of Shao Fei as soon as they got out of the car, and they were always uneasy, and they haven't fallen asleep until now. But at this time, she found that Liu Ying was trembling all over her body and seemed to be very afraid of cold.

"Sister Liu Ying, are you okay?"

Rika realizes that something is wrong and yells. Sakurako sat up because of Rika's screaming, she hadn't slept all the time, and her heart was uneasy.

"Is this a cold phobia?"

"Sensitivity to cold? What to do then, Sister Sakurako. ”

"Just cover it with more quilts and keep it warm."

Sakurako was originally a nurse, and she knew that. Lixiang hurriedly got out of bed, found the quilt around her, and then asked Liu Ying to sleep in the middle and covered it with a thick quilt, so that Liu Ying's hypothermia could be alleviated.

"Thanks, I'm fine."

Liu Ying's voice was still a little trembling, Lixiang "hum~", and said angrily: "Brother Shao Fei really doesn't care about his wife, I decided, I won't marry him when I grow up." ”

Sakurako lay back without saying a word, Liu Ying found out what Sakurako was thinking, so she asked, "There is a war tomorrow, do you want to go to the field hospital with me to treat the wounded soldiers?" ”

Liu Ying is completely well-intentioned, maybe the people around her will change their opinion of Sakurako's identity.

Before Sakurako could answer, Rika shouted, "I'll go too!" ”

"You little brat, what are you going to do?"

"I want to experience the cruelty of war firsthand and understand their suffering. Why don't I stay, I'll go back to Japan with your mother. ”

Liu Ying didn't have a problem with Lixiang, and then turned her head to look at Sakurako waiting for her answer, Sakurako bowed her head and said, "Then I'll go too." ”

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

At 8 o'clock the next morning, the Sichuan army launched an attack on the left flank of Changshoudian on time. Lu Kang ordered Zhao Hongfei to be the commander of the former enemy, and the loser to command the front battle.

After a round of bombardment, the three battalions and three companies of the first regiment formed a ladder to attack the forward positions, and Zhao Hongfei paid attention to the battle at the forward headquarters.

"Dadada" "......"

The Japanese positions were full of firepower, the left and right firepower were staggered, and the front and rear firepower overlapped and covered, forming a very dense firepower network. The Sichuan army was quickly repulsed by this round of attack, and suffered more than 40 casualties.

This was just a tentative attack by Zhao Hongfei to expose the enemy's firepower, but he didn't think about a tentative attack, and one company suffered one-third casualties.

"Report casualties."

"Twenty-two killed and 24 wounded."

Zhao Hongfei ordered: "Stop the attack first and carry the wounded to the rear woods." ”

A small field hospital was set up in the woods east of the river, designed to prevent bombing by enemy aircraft. Immediately, 24 wounded were transported by a stretcher team to a field hospital for treatment.

Zhao Hongfei walked back to the command headquarters and said, "It's fiercer than I thought." ”

Shao Fei, as his staff officer, was also in the command headquarters, and said: "The enemy has not yet dispatched planes, and there is an infantry artillery position in the rear. It's a pity that my special combat team is not there, otherwise I could have sniped their fire points and finished off the enemy's artillery positions. ”

Zhao Hongfei emphasized: "Sharp knife, that's not your special combat team, it's the Eighth Route Army." But sooner or later we will have a stronger special combat team. The top priority is how to capture the forward positions in one day. In ten minutes, the second wave of attacks began. ”

Shao Fei said: "The enemy is completely on the defensive, with a strength of about four hundred. It's all open area all around, and there's no better way now than to fight hard. According to the battle plan drawn up last night, it should be possible to take the forward position by evening, but the number of dead is more than 500. ”

Both entered into deep thought. And Shao Fei said that kind of thing, his heart was not easy, but this is war.

The second round of attacks continued ten minutes later.

"Put!"

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"

On the previous small peak, Shao Fei set up a mortar position overnight. The range of the mortars was far beyond the grenadiers, and these eight mortars were all the belongings of the New Fifth Division.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The Japanese positions in front of them were suddenly on fire and dusty, and the entire position was shrouded in thick smoke.

Immediately afterwards, the front of the position shook the sky, and Zhao Hongfei quickly launched a second round of attacks.

"Shoot!"

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

The devils on the battlefield reacted quickly and launched a frantic counterattack. This time it seemed to be more violent than the last time, because the devil commander knew that the first time was just a tentative attack from the other party.

The charging soldiers fell in rows, and the soldiers in the rear rushed forward to follow the frantic charge.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The artillery in the rear of the Japanese quickly reacted and launched an artillery strike a hundred meters from the front of the position. The cannonballs fell to the ground, setting off a large number of soil flowers, and many soldiers were blown out directly with the soil flowers, and the whole person's flesh and blood were blurred.

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

Gao Xiaowei continued to snipe at the enemy's fire point on the mountain peak, and after the machine gunner in the enemy's position was sniped, the other quickly stepped up and continued to shoot wildly ahead.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

When the charging team reached a certain distance, machine guns were set up on both sides to strafe at the forward positions through special trajectories to cover the attack of the charging troops.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "......"

The grenadier squad in the rear of the assault unit also launched a precise artillery attack on the fire points of the enemy position.

"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

A series of artillery sounds sounded in the enemy position, and many devils in the trenches were directly blown out of the trenches and shattered. There were injuries on both sides, and the battle was fierce. However, the second round of attacks was repelled by the devils, and the three companies were disabled.

"It is said that the Sichuan people are belligerent, and it is true."

Zhao Hongfei couldn't help but sigh, and then ordered the third company to retreat to the rear for repair, and the second company was ready to launch a third round of attacks.

After these two rounds of fighting, the Japanese commander also discovered the small mountain, but due to the distance, height, and area, he had no choice but to be beaten.

In the field hospital, the sound of wails and pain resounded through the woods. Liu Ying and the other doctors and nurses were busy.

"Doctor, help me."

"Doctor ......"

“……”

In addition to the screams, there are also these wounded people waiting in line for treatment, and now it is useless to call dad and mom, only doctors can do them. However, the doctors in this small field hospital are very limited.

"Next."

Liu Ying shouted after the operation. At this time, she found that Lixiang had long since disappeared, so she asked, "Where is Lixiang?" ”

Sakurako pointed outside.

"Evil~Evil~Evil~" I saw that Lika was vomiting outside the operating room.

On the battlefield ahead, Zhao Hongfei launched a third round of attacks. In this attack, the soldiers of the Sichuan army still attacked and beat fiercely, and the devils did not show weakness and stubbornly fought back.

And the most dangerous to the devil is the mortar position on that mountain peak, and the sharpshooter. After each battle, the devil soldiers would be in the trenches, and during the battle, the commander of the devils didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Buzz" "......"

Suddenly, the sound of aircraft motors sounded in the air, and six enemy planes roared from the southeast. Now Zhang Zizhong is counterattacking on all fronts, and all battlefields are asking for air force support, and the six planes that came this time are already the largest.

Zhao Hongfei immediately ordered: "Order the troops to withdraw and prepare for air defense." ”

The third round of attacks did not last long, and the attacking troops in the front quickly withdrew and launched air defense. A large number of soldiers quickly hid in the holes they had dug earlier and disappeared to the ground like voles. And the follow-up troops moved to both sides and into the woods.

"Withdraw!"

Gao Xiaowei on the mountain peak immediately ordered a retreat. More than a dozen people quickly picked up mortars and ammunition and moved to the rear, then climbed down through the rope ladder, entered the woods and dispersed, and broke into pieces.

"Boom Boom" "......"

As soon as Gao Xiaowei retreated, a violent explosion sounded at the top of the peak, and a large amount of flying debris fell from above like raindrops.

The Japanese air raid was in vain. After the enemy plane flew away, Zhao Hongfei quickly ordered his troops to launch a new round of attacks.

The battle in the morning was a war of attrition. The aim was to reduce the number of the enemy and destroy a part of the firing points, creating favorable conditions for a general offensive in the afternoon.
