To Zhang Wei's surprise, the Japanese army did not launch a second attack before dark, the first attack lasted for nearly two hours, the sky slowly darkened, and it was going to be dark in a blink of an eye, the Japanese corpses in front of the position were almost thrown outside, no one cared, the people of the second company wanted to clean up, get some trophies, and also wanted to sweep the shooting area, all of which were vetoed by Zhang Wei, as long as they came out of the trenches, they had the possibility of becoming targets. Ｘ

The first company had been hiding in the rear concealment department, not firing, Zhang Wei ordered Qiu Wei's company to be prepared, there may be a situation at any time at night, if necessary, the first company should draw troops to reinforce the second company on the first line. The Japanese army is not attacking now, and at night, there will be action in ten **.

Until now, the position of the preparation battalion can still hear the gunfire on the position of the 155th Division and the 58th Division next to it, from the fire to the present, it has not stopped, Zhang Wei has been in the position, during which he also went to the front line of the second company to inspect your inspection several times, the engineer platoon has been reinforced, Mu Chao will be a platoon as a squad, scattered to the position, the platoon commander can only pitifully follow a squad to arm, Mu Chao did this thing, but it is a bit to annex the troops.

The soldiers on the battlefield have not eaten, and after fighting for so long, they will be tired, but they dare not slack off, one is Zhang Wei patrolling here, and the squad and platoon leaders are staring at it, and besides, it is getting dark, and the soldiers know in their hearts that their eyes are not so good at this time, maybe the Japanese will take the opportunity to come over and touch the position, and the guys who slack off on eating have to move, and they all have wide eyes.

Zhang Wei was staring here, one of his guards suddenly ran along the traffic trench, and told Zhang Wei that someone was coming behind him, and when he asked that it was Qiu Qingquan, he must have come to inquire about the battle situation, Zhang Wei hurriedly ran to the hidden department of the first company, and when he arrived at the place, Qiu Qingquan was standing in the trench, followed by a group of staff officers and guards, and he could hear the sound of truck engines and mules and horses from the rear. Qiu Wei's company was unloading from the cart and on the back of mules and horses, with ammunition and prepared food.

"Sir" Zhang Wei walked over.

"This is ammunition and food for you, Zhang Wei, you hurry up and prepare, send the things down first, and then speak." Qiu Qingquan pointed to the things he had brought over, and said with a frown.

Looking at Qiu Qingquan's expression, it seems that Qiu Qingquan is not in a good mood now, Zhang Wei must do it, and walked over, Qiu Wei, the commander of the first company, was organizing the soldiers to carry food and ammunition, and the food was packed in a large basket and covered with a layer of cloth.

"What's in here?"

Qiu Wei lifted the cloth, which was filled with coarse steamed buns and more than a dozen baskets, and the soldiers of the first company lifted them off the transport truck, and then carried them to the position, and along the traffic ditch to the concealment department.

"It's all steamed buns, and they're still hot." Qiu Wei said.

After fighting all afternoon, they didn't eat well, and Zhang Wei saw the fatigue of the officers and soldiers of the second company just now, and now that the meal has been delivered, he has to eat when he should eat.

"Your first company hurried to eat, and the platoon sent the food to the third company, telling them to eat on the position, and the second company of the first-line position did not need to send it, you went to replace them for dinner after eating, and the position was temporarily guarded by you, and they were replaced to eat."

"Yes, I'll take them with me." Qiu Wei led people to quickly move the remaining ammunition, and ate a simple meal first, saying that it was a meal, but in fact, it was two coarse steamed buns for one person, and the cold water in the kettle tightened the stomach, even if it was a dinner, the battlefield conditions, only that.

After arranging the issue of eating, Zhang Wei returned to Qiu Qingquan's side, Qiu Qingquan was still frowning, sitting alone on the empty ammunition box, sitting at the door of the concealment department, after Zhang Wei came back, Qiu Qingquan asked Zhang Wei about the battle situation of the preparation battalion.

"Your battalion is fighting well, how is the battle situation and casualties?"

"Sir, the little devils fought twice, we fought once when we built a position, at that time the position was still repaired, they first fired and killed the sentry of our battalion, the two sides fought for a while, I led a company to rush out and fight back against them, I felt that it was a temptation, we rushed and retreated, the casualties together were not enough for ten numbers, and then it was the battle just now, it was very fierce and methodical, first with artillery bombardment, and then attack, covering fire, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenadiers were all used, The attack is very strong, not like an ordinary attack, it would rather be killed, but also consumed in front of your position, the brothers are fighting with their lives, heavy machine guns and mortars and little devils are fighting. We lost more than 40 wounds and wounds, and the Japanese left almost 50 corpses in front of the position, and it is not clear how many were wounded. ”

Qiu Qingquan nodded: "Your battalion is fighting well, did you hear the gunfire over there, not only us, the 155th and 58th divisions over there also fought, and it has been almost an afternoon, fortunately, no news of the loss of positions has come." ”

The news that the position was not lost came, if it was placed half a day ago, Zhang Wei would not believe it, the artillery fire over there was so fierce, it almost never stopped, how could it be that the position was not lost? It's just that Zhang Wei has always suspected that the possibility of an idea is getting bigger and bigger, combined with Qiu Qingquan's words, Zhang Wei can only be more and more convinced of his own judgment, the earliest sequential attack of the Japanese army is to withdraw as soon as it is a fight, and the possibility of an encounter is completely non-existent.

Then the attack, although there is artillery bombardment, but as long as the Chinese veterans who have fought for more than a year can feel that the artillery preparation battalion is not mountain artillery at all, but infantry artillery, and the infantry attack strength is not ordinary Japanese attack, the first time the attack is launched, in the face of the elite **, usually do not hope for a success, and the second attack will be organized if the fierce attack fails.

Prepare the camp to top this attack in the past, not only the cover fire is very fierce, the infantry is also extremely tenacious, a desperate posture with you, Zhang Wei put the Japanese army so close, heavy machine gun fire to repel them once, the Japanese army only retreated not far, just within the range of the fire of the preparatory battalion, and the preparatory battalion to shoot, rather pay casualties than desperately prepare to attack again, fortunately, Zhang Wei later used a mortar to bomb, only to repel the Japanese army, since the infantry is so desperate to fight, the shelling only infantry artillery, there is no body cannon at all, Combined with the previous tentative small-scale attacks of the Japanese army, the idea in Zhang Wei's heart can only become more and more likely.

"Sir, I think the Japanese are determined to attack our position and want to attack our assault column."

"Oh? Tell us what you think. Qiu Qingquan pushed over the two empty ammunition boxes, motioned for Zhang Wei to sit down, and asked with interest.

"Sir, in fact, I have long suspected that the earliest tentative attack of the Japanese was to probe the truth, our infantry is the least, they are afraid that they have already understood, not to mention that they have been fighting for so long, they must know that we have the least number of troops in our hands, and the attack behind is very fierce by the Japanese army."

"There are more than 50 corpses left by the Japanese army alone, combined with the Japanese artillery bombardment, we can completely think like this: in order to attract our large troops, the Japanese army took all the mountain artillery to hit friendly troops, absorb attention, and then concentrate elite forces to hit our positions, use our positions as a breakthrough point, cause chaos to all our troops, or take this as an opportunity to complete other tactical intentions."

After Zhang Wei's words were finished, Qiu Qingquan's expression changed slightly in the dark night, but he was by no means shocked.

"Zhang Wei, a few hours ago, I also had this idea in my heart, of course, I don't think it's big, I see that you are preparing the battalion position to fight fiercely, and the shelling over there is fierce, at first I thought that they felt that our battalion had fewer infantry, and they looked down on us, so I didn't think much about this idea, now it seems that according to what you said, the attack is strong and sticky, and our position is probably the key breakthrough direction of the Japanese army."

Qiu Qingquan said flatly, it seems that he does have vaguely similar thoughts or guesses as Zhang Wei, combined with his previous sad face, Zhang Wei's top boss, a Whampoa student who studied at the German Army Engineer College and the German Army Command College,
