Chapter 299: Hold Your Ground
The commander of the little devil thought that the artillery on the Chinese position had been destroyed in the last battle, but he did not expect that the artillery on the Chinese position had once again caused huge casualties to his charging troops, and he had to order the soldiers to retreat. E small Ω┡ said'.
After a morning of attacking, the commander of the little devil no longer dared to underestimate these Chinese prisoners who were fighting against him. Without a complete command system, they were able to repel the attacks of the little devils again and again, and it was entirely by their own unity that the position was cast as hard as steel and unshakable.
"Tell the aviation that we need their support and let the planes take off and blow up the squadron's artillery positions!" The commander of the little devil did not want to rely on his own artillery anymore, he did not blow up the Chinese artillery last time, apparently they had a way to evade the Japanese artillery fire.
The commander of the little devil did not want to waste shells on uncertain things, he wanted to smash all the shells on the heads of the Chinese prisoners who were defending in the front.
"You! You! You! …… Grab your gear and come with me! "The little devil had just retreated, Yan Xuelin walked into the trench and selected machine gunners to follow behind him.
In a few minutes, Yan Xuelin was followed by two platoons of soldiers, one of the soldiers of these two platoons was a machine gunner, and the other was a deputy machine gunner. After walking through a gentle slope, Yan Xuelin had not had time to arrange the task when he heard the roar of an airplane in the distance, and the soldiers instinctively lay down on the spot and hidden.
"Stand up for me, aim the machine gun at the plane of the little devil in the sky, and make the sub-machine gunner as a stand!" Yan Xuelin originally wanted to give the little devil's plane a strafing shot, but now it seems that there is not enough time at all, so he can only rush to meet the battle.
After hearing the order, the fighters immediately got up from the ground, set up their machine guns, and prepared to give the little devil a head-on blow. At this time, the shadow of the little devil's plane in the distance had already appeared in the soldiers' field of vision, but Yan Xuelin was not in a hurry to give the order to shoot.
"Wait, wait, brothers, wait for the little devil to come closer!" Yan Xuelin was dressed roughly, they were exposed to the open ground, and in the face of the oncoming enemy plane, they might be hit by the machine guns and bombs on the little devil's plane at any time, but Yan Xuelin still hoped that he would be able to win once, once he succeeded, the little devil's plane would never be so arrogant and domineering again.
The "Buzz" little devil plane gradually entered the range of the machine gun, and they did not show the Chinese soldiers on the ground who were hastily confronting them, which just gave the machine gun a chance.
"Fire!" Yan Xuelin ordered to yell at the soldiers.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" ......
The anti-aircraft fire network composed of light machine guns caught the little devil's plane by surprise, and the little devil's pilot was startled by the sudden bullet, and the captain of the plane hurriedly ordered all the planes to pull up and fly away from the ground fire.
However, there was still a pilot of the plane who was still slow to react and did not pull the plane up in time, although the Zero plane was fast, but the armor was too thin, and the machine gun bullet penetrated the cockpit from the front, killing the pilot of the little devil on the spot. After gliding over a distance, the plane crashed into the mountains in the distance.
The Heavy did not cheer for this, and by this time the planes in the sky had already known where they were, and soon dropped bombs on them.
"Lie down!" The whistling bombs were terrifying, and Yan Xuelin had to consider the safety of the soldiers, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to lie down on the spot.
Because the little devil's plane was shot down, the captain of the little devil's flight squadron did not dare to let the plane fly at a low altitude, fearing that there might be Chinese machine gunners in ambush ahead, and finally dropped the bomb on the Chinese position and then flew away.
Yan Xuelin sat on the ground, his ears were roaring at this time, his eyes were full of gold stars, looking at the crater with green smoke in front of him, Yan Xuelin regained his ability to think slightly. He was lucky to survive, but the bones of several soldiers in front of him were gone, and even the parts of the light machine gun were blown up, not to mention people.
"Sir, are you alright?" A soldier kept shaking Yan Xuelin, at this time Yan Xuelin's head was bleeding, although the wound was not big, but it still looked quite terrifying, the soldier thought that Yan Xuelin was killed in battle.
Yan Xuelin just stared blankly at the crater in front of him, and then instinctively asked, "How many people are there?" ”
The soldier answered Yan Xuelin's question, but Yan Xuelin didn't hear clearly that it was many people at all, thinking that his ears were still ringing, and he only saw the soldier talking constantly, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. In the end, Yan Xuelin had to order the soldiers to return to the position immediately, and he climbed to a stone with difficulty and kept shaking his head to make himself sober, and after ten minutes, Yan Xuelin returned to his command position.
At this time, the fighters on the position were cheering for the machine gunners who returned to their positions, and they managed to shoot down an enemy aircraft, which was enough for them to cheer. A small victory can boost the morale of the soldiers, and morale is the most important thing for the soldiers who are hungry and fighting without supplies.
The commander of the little devil left after learning that the aviation was just a random bombing, and he felt very angry, at this time he could only fire at the staff officers in his command, and after he calmed down, he had to continue to think of a way to break through the defensive position of the squadron as soon as possible.
The "boom boom" shells once again rained down on the position of the squadron, and the fighters had lost count of how many times the little devil had charged today, but the fighters knew very well that the attack of the little devil would be even crazier next.
But after this bombing, the little devil actually changed the direction of the main attack, the little devil just bombarded the scum on the front position, but launched a fierce charge on the side position, the little devil suddenly changed the direction of the main attack, so that Yan Xuelin was in a hurry, fortunately the position was still in their hands, Yan Xuelin only needed to draw troops to the side.
"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang"
All kinds of gunfire rang out, the soldiers were just mechanically repeating the action of loading and pulling the trigger, they themselves forgot how many little devils they had killed, the flames of the explosion reflected their eyes red, the blood-red battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and their comrades were constantly falling on the battlefield......
Everything is a fight to survive, and the soldiers desperately tell themselves that they can't let the little devils rush to the position, otherwise everything will be in vain today. Fight! Fight! Fight! If they want to survive, they can only fight!
Just when the forward position gradually stabilized, more than a dozen soldiers found Yan Xuelin, they were scouts sent by Yan Xuelin, when they found Yan Xuelin, Yan Xuelin was urging the soldiers to fight on the position, there was no commander at all, everyone was a soldier at this time.
The scouts brought the latest reconnaissance results, Yan Xuelin immediately withdrew from the forward position and returned to the command position, it will be dark in a few hours, and he has to arrange the breakthrough of the troops.
"Chief Yan, we have already reconnoitred in the north, northwest, northeast, three directions, the northwest direction of the Japanese army is the least, less than the strength of a brigade, and from the terrain point of view, if we break through from the northwest direction, it is the most advantageous."
After synthesizing the results of more than a dozen soldiers, a scout reported to Yan Xuelin. The northwest direction is a gentle slope, unlike the terrain in the other two directions is too complicated, the most important thing is that after the breakthrough, there is a large forest in the northwest direction to provide them with cover, as long as the woods are passed, and then walk more than 30 miles north to reach the periphery of Taihang Mountain.
After thinking about it, Yan Xuelin decided to adopt the scout's suggestion, there was no big problem with which direction they had so many people to break through, the important thing was how to bring so many people out as much as possible.
Now that he has decided to break through, Yan Xuelin did not hesitate to directly find the reserve team that was still resting, this reserve team held on to the position mountain for five hours, considering their physical problems, Yan Xuelin forcibly ordered them to withdraw and rest.
There were still a few hours left before dark, and the reserves had plenty of rest to recuperate. Yan Xuelin had already told them that the reserve team would sing the leading role tonight, and they would not only be the vanguard of the breakthrough, but also take care of the wounded and evacuate together.
"Chu Pengtian, you take a battalion of soldiers to be responsible for all the wounded, you must ensure that you can't abandon any of the wounded, tonight the soldiers and wounded you bring will follow the troops who broke through the encirclement, as long as they break through the encirclement, you will immediately follow them." When Yan Xuelin gave the order to the reserves, Chu Pengtian was also by Yan Xuelin's side, and Yan Xuelin simply explained everything together.
Hearing Yan Xuelin's order, Chu Pengtian nodded heavily, most of the wounded in this battle were seriously wounded, and there were only a small number of lightly wounded, so the march of the wounded must be much slower, and they must be taken care of, and secondly, Huang Changsheng, who Yan Xuelin was worried about.
After arranging everything, Yan Xuelin found a few main officers, discussed with them the breakthrough plan for tonight, and arranged all the specific things, and the last person in charge of the palace was the three team leaders, and he would lead more than a dozen soldiers of the special combat team and a battalion of prisoners to be in charge of the palace.
The little devil did not give up the attack on the position because of the huge casualties, because the commander of the little devil was already crazy at this time, he thought that with his armored troops, he could completely take the position of the squadron at the first charge, but today it has been rushed more than a dozen times, and his troops have lost five armored vehicles and tanks, but the Chinese position on the opposite side is as stable as Mount Tai.
After losing a plane, every time the air force received a telegram from the commander of the little devil asking for help, they just flew to the Chinese position and pretended to drop the bomb and ran away.
