After the transfer was completed, the assault column was slightly behind the left flank of the 155th Division, and the 58th Division was on the right flank of the 155th Division. Ｘ

"Hurry up, the work at hand is quick, within two hours, three trenches and communication ditches must be dug out!"

"The sacks sent down are filled with dirt and stacked on the trenches!"

The deployment and possible disputes above have no direct impact on a battalion, the preparation battalion is still at the forefront of the assault column, relying on the 155th Division on the right, establishing its own position, it is not easy to dig a battalion-level defensive position, originally several company commanders planned to build some temporary fortifications according to the rules of camping, and finally Zhang Wei thought about it, or decided to dig trenches, communication ditches and concealment departments.

The front is composed of two main lines of defense, the rear one is a line of defense and a concealment department, a concealment department, and the third line of defense is connected to the second line of defense by a communication ditch, and the left flank of the second line of defense extends to the left, because the left flank of the assault column has no more troops, and if the Japanese outflank it, it will be over.

"Come on!" Zhang Wei walked around, urging the soldiers to dig fortifications, hundreds of people put the guns together, picked up the sapper shovel and pickaxe, laboriously dug up the solid soil, dug out a large ditch that was flush with the people's chest, and then put the soil into the sacks sent by the sappers, piled up outside the trench, as a support for shooting and a defense against shrapnel, this is not an easy job, after the soldiers moved the defense, they didn't have time to burn the fire to cook, and now they are not allowed to be on the front line, but fortunately, the assault column sent a prepared meal in the back, Zhang Wei asked the cooking squad to send a batch of ready-made pork jerky to the soldiers. After all, you have to eat enough to do physical work.

This kind of scene is also going on in the 155th and 58th Divisions, but how many simple temporary fortifications they have built, compared with the assault column, their belongings and men are much more, one march, one transfer is the moving of nearly 10,000 people, and they are all in the mentality of attacking, and they are naturally digging temporary fortifications.

Just when the ** soldiers were in full swing to prepare for the war, Morita Fan Zheng ordered the tentative attack troops to target the ** squadrons located everywhere, their purpose was very simple and clear, to test the strength and weakness of the ** squadron.

On the position of the preparation battalion, most of the people are digging fortifications, a line of defense was handed over to the second company, the second line of defense was handed over to the third company, and the soldiers of the first company were responsible for digging the cover and the third line of defense, which was the easiest work, Zhang Wei was in line with the principle of who was stationed and who was responsible, and the second company commander Mu Chao dug the position according to Zhang Wei's requirements, and after the whole company finished the attack battle, more than 40 people were killed and wounded, and more than a dozen people returned to the company after being injured, and the rest were seriously injured or lightly injured but affected the operation and were inconvenient to move.

The Japanese army tried to attack the unit with a brigade, but three squadrons were scattered, not carrying any heavy weapons at all, and feinted to attack the opposite squadron, and the Japanese army did not know the specific composition of the squadron, so they could only launch a feint to test.

The second company, four platoons and three squads, as a sentry squad, served as a guard duty, and the other soldiers were working, only the soldiers of this squad were scattered, and the whole squad stood dozens of meters outside the fortifications except for the light machine gun group to serve as a guard.

Compared with other comrades-in-arms, it was quite easy, and some of the recruits who dug trenches had some small complaints, but they were all reprimanded by the squad leaders.

The veterans know that this job is easy, but unfortunately, they have to exchange their lives.

The sentinel, in other words, is the first soldier to die.

A recruit of the third squad stood at the farthest point, more than ten meters more than his comrades-in-arms, with a bayonet on the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand, walking back and forth, patrolling and alerting the surrounding situation, as far as the eye could see, there were weeds, mounds, and broken earthen walls and roots, although they could not hide people at all, but they would play a more or less concealing role, and the recruits paid special attention there.

Unbeknownst to the recruit, his chest had been strapped to the crosshairs with a 38 rifle, and farther away from it were dozens of creeping Japanese soldiers. As the recruits walked around, they had the idea of walking forward, and their footsteps began to move forward slowly, and the coarse cloth military shoes stepped on the dirt on the ground, moving forward step by step.

Suddenly, there was a sound of tearing through the air, and the recruit hesitated for a moment, shook his body violently, looked down and saw the bloody hole in his chest, and he was shot.

"There are devils, go back quickly!" The leader of the third squad, who reacted quickly, shouted, calling the soldiers in charge of the guard to return to the trenches, and he also turned around, pulling the soldiers around him to run backwards, almost rolling into the trenches.

As the Japanese rifles fired, the Japanese soldiers who had been aiming at them followed closely behind, knocking down the other two sentries, and with the distinctive sound of the crooked light machine guns, the Japanese began to touch the front of the prepared camp position. Zhang Wei heard the gunshots at the same moment and immediately took out his binoculars to observe the situation.

Crackling gunfire rang out everywhere, except for the 1st Company, the 2nd Company, and some of the 3rd Company's officers and men all opened fire, light machine gun and rifle bullets flew sideways, and several Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground, and all the Japanese soldiers changed to crawling forward or firing on the spot.

In Zhang Wei's binoculars, the Japanese troops with their heads exposed either crawled forward or fired at each other on the spot, and the two armies almost evolved into static combat, and the Japanese army had better shooting skills.

Some soldiers threw grenades in order to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese shooting.

"What about heavy machine guns!" Zhang Wei shouted, the heavy machine gun company is ready to be deployed on the second front, the fortifications have not yet been completed, two platoons of four heavy machine guns are in the second line of positions, and the other platoon is deployed in the third line of defense and the concealment department for preparation.

"Right away!" The machine gun platoon commander in the second-line position replied that he was organizing soldiers to carry a heavy machine gun to the heavy machine gun fortifications that had just been dug, and Zhang Wei called Qiu Wei, came to the second line of defense through the communication ditch, and climbed in front of the machine gun platoon leader.

"After the machine gun is ready, give me a suppressive shot, I will let the infantry fight back, and the infantry will not stop until they enter your shooting range!"

"Yes!" Between the words, the heavy machine gun had been put in order, the soldier stuffed the bullet chain into the ammunition supply port, the gun commander unlocked, aimed at the general direction of the Japanese army and began to shoot, a string of Soviet-style machine gun bullets flew towards the Japanese army, bringing out bursts of smoke and dust on the land.

Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei returned to the three lines of defense and the concealment department, Zhang Wei ordered Qiu Wei to lead two platoons of the first company to rush out along the front of the second line of defense to counterattack, and he led another platoon to fight from the side. The two sides were still firing at each other, but the second company threw a large number of grenades, and the fire suppression of light and heavy machine guns greatly reduced the accuracy of the Japanese army's shooting.

Qiu Wei took two platoons around and rushed straight over, the fire of the heavy machine guns quickly stopped after Qiu Wei and them entered the firing range, and the veterans of the two platoons spread out in a straggler formation in the movement, rushed out more than ten meters and fired on the spot, and at the same time threw out a wave of grenades.

The violent explosion and counterattack provided Zhang Wei with an opportunity, he jumped out of the trench with a platoon of men, made a large circle from the left flank, outflanked the right side of the Japanese army, rushed more than 20 meters, and threw a wave of grenades like Qiu Wei and them, and the bullets flew out with smoke.

The soldiers lay on the ground and shot at the Japanese army, Zhang Wei was on the right flank of the Japanese army, Qiu Wei was in the middle of the Japanese army, under the fire of nine light machine guns and nearly 100 rifles, the small number of Japanese soldiers obviously could not support it, and the grenades thrown by Zhang Wei just now killed several Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese fire was no longer calm, and the order was given, and all but a light machine gun crew and three riflemen at the front retreated to the rear, and several more were knocked to the ground by fire from the first company. The soldiers of the first company saw the retreat of the Japanese troops and consciously drew their bayonets.

"Up!"

Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei launched a counter-charge at the same time, the only thing that did not move was light machine gun fire, the counter-charge soldiers threw grenades at the Japanese army again to cover the charge, after a small fierce battle, the Japanese army left six corpses, and the rest of the people, all retreated.

The poor Kou Mo chased, and the counterattacking company did not continue the pursuit, and after counting the corpses of both sides on the ground, they returned to their positions.

From the time the Japanese fired to the retreat,
