After every battle, the positions were busy. Treat the wounded, carry the corpses, replenish the troops, build blown up fortifications, and rearrange the firing points.

Knife couldn't help but wonder what was going on with the ten soldiers in the trench. He had looked at it carefully, and it was a very ordinary trench.

Yang Hongtao told him that it was an ordinary trench. The ten men only dug another hole in the trench, covered it with wooden planks and completely sealed it with earth.

If you have to say anything, it is a small hole dug in the hole from top to bottom in the direction of the trench, one can breathe, and the other can see the signal of Yang Hongtao with a gun.

After the morning battle, Shao Fei judged from the number of casualties, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and other objective factors, and held the position until April 2. But this is not the main position, the West Gate is lost, everything is meaningless.

In the main position of the West Gate, the battle was extremely fierce. Although Bai Dehou is brave, his command is decent, and he does not have the ability of Yang Hongtao to improvise on the spot and want to kill the enemy. Their task is to defeat the enemy and hold the position, and the enemy often does not suffer much loss in this way.

At ten o'clock, Shao Fei took a platoon of the reserve team and sent the equipment captured in the morning to the Ximen position. Before leaving, he instructed Yang Hongtao Ximen to be the key, and if he could, he would support and assist in the defense of Ximen. This also meant that for the afternoon battle, he would stay at the West Gate position.

Seeing so much equipment, Tong Dehou was grateful, and said: "The last time we met, I really didn't know Taishan, and I underestimated you." You fought well in the morning, at least better than me. ”

Shao Fei smiled ashamedly and said, "In the morning, I organized a jerking off, and I will do everything else." The battle was commanded by Yang Hongtao, the commander of our sixth company."

Tong Dehou was shocked from time to time and said, "It's the little young man who argued with me last time." I don't think he's even twenty years old, and he really has a bright future. ”

"Don't talk about that." Shao Fei looked at the position where the smoke had not yet dissipated, and asked, "How are the casualties?"

Bai Dehou was a little disappointed, and said: "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the casualties are a quarter. At such a big end, by the day of the general attack, it may be gone. ”

Shao Fei looked at the position. Although the position is scorched, it can be seen that it has been rebuilt. The northwest corner is occupied by the devils, and they have to face the Japanese army from the east and north at the same time.

The front of the position was covered with corpses, and Shao Fei couldn't tell which was the corpse of a devil and which was the corpse of a soldier of the Northwest Army. It can be seen that the battle was fierce in the morning.

Shao Fei suddenly proposed: "I will be here in the afternoon, can you give me the command?"

Bai Dehou readily agreed: "This is exactly what I want, I would like to see how you fight." However, I also learned that I would go down to the pool division. ”

Shao Fei made a cameo appearance to command the West Gate position, and Chi Fengcheng was naturally happy. But to Chi Fengcheng's surprise, the two thrilling battles in the southwest position in the morning were not commanded by Shao Fei, but by a small company commander who was not yet twenty years old.

After five meals, Shao Fei immediately went to the forward position to observe the situation ahead. The hundreds of corpses, most of them lying in disorganized manner, were between thirty and one hundred meters.

It seems that Bai Dehou is a very cautious commander, afraid of losing his position, so he launched an attack when the devil was close to a hundred meters, and experienced at least two white-knives battles.

After Shao Fei put down the binoculars, he pondered for a moment. Then he came to Tong Dehou to discuss the battle in the afternoon.

Half an hour later, before the battle began, Shao Fei ordered the third battalion to stay in the position, and the first battalion all went to the front of the position to collect those equipment.

At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, a devil soldier reported: "There is a situation ahead of the commander, and the Chinese army has sent a large number of soldiers to collect equipment in front of the position."

"What?" The devil Shaozuo was startled at first, then leaked a smile and said, "It seems that they are short of ammunition, otherwise they would not have taken such a risk and dared to clean up the battlefield in broad daylight." Artillery and forward troops were ordered to send them back. ”

"Hey!" The devil soldiers immediately walked away and conveyed the order.

"Whoosh" "Da Da Da"

The Devil Force launched an attack on the front line. After a while, the first battalion fled back to the position in a hurry.

"Hahaha" "The pig ran away." ”“……”

The devil soldiers in front of them laughed and teased when they saw the embarrassed appearance of a battalion.

Half an hour later, the Japanese army was attacking the position at the West Gate. They still have the same fighting style for thousands of years, with artillery bombardment and infantry rushing.

The devil infantry was divided into two echelons of about 100 people each, with a distance of 50 meters. And pull the distance horizontally, which is equivalent to dividing into four square teams. The interval between individual soldiers is also about three meters, forming an offensive formation, and a certain number of troops are allocated machine guns and forced to break through to cover their attack.

"Boom, boom, boom" devil artillery is still suppressing the position, and the sound of bombing has always been the main theme of this position.

Shao Fei ordered loudly from the position: "Hide! Don't shoot without my orders! Mortar guns set the distance between thirty and fifty meters. Everyone, prepare grenades first. ”

The devils in front of them kept approaching, a hundred, eighty, sixty meters, but they did not receive any attack.

The defenders were uncharacteristically worried, worrying the devil commander in the rear. In the morning, a hundred meters were attacked. Because of this, there will be large casualties in the position.

When the devil approached fifty meters, the commander of the devil in the rear seemed to have discovered the opponent's combat intentions. So he ordered the troops to launch a rapid charge, as long as they attacked the enemy's position and entered the scorching white-knuckle battle, the rear quickly sent reinforcements to take the position in one fell swoop.

"Rush!" "Kill!" The "......" devil launched a rapid charge.

"Hit!"

Shao Fei quickly ordered, he wanted to launch a counterattack when the devil approached thirty meters, but time was running out.

After the soldiers threw out the grenades, they began to shoot wildly at the devils, they must not ask the devils to rush into the position, otherwise Shao Fei's previous plan would be in vain.

"Da Da Da" "Squirt Bang "Boom, boom!"

The position was full of firepower, because Shao Fei reinforced the equipment, and the firepower was much stronger than before. The devils in the vanguard were suddenly attacked, and the devils in the back row fell one after another, regardless of life and death.

"Hold on!"

Shao Fei shouted vigorously, the devils were still approaching, some were almost close in front of them, but they were quickly shot. If you let the devils rush into the position, the consequences will be unbearable.

The second echelon of the devils also approached a distance of fifty meters from the position, and the position was in danger.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"

At the moment of this thousand troops, eighty meters ahead, eight machine guns opened fire together. They were ten meters apart, shooting frantically at the devil's back.

Only half of the devils were hit by powerful firepower, which was simply a catastrophe. Whether it is attacking or retreating, it is a dead end.

"Kill!" "Kill!"

The sound of killing in front of the position shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army kept standing up from the pile of corpses, and they rushed to the direction of the position under the leadership of Bai Dehou with big knives in their hands.

"Rush!"

Shao Fei also gave the order to charge. The soldiers on the position rushed out of the position with a roar, and joined forces with Bai Dehou's troops to attack the last devil.

Whether it is the number or high morale, the devils are far inferior to the Northwest Army, and the last devils are like lambs to be slaughtered, and they soon died tragically under the knife of the Northwest Army.

More than 200 devils were completely annihilated. Only then did the devil commander understand why the enemy took the risk of collecting equipment on the battlefield before, it turned out that he had fallen for the enemy's plan of "all the grass and trees". But now it was too late, and the two hundred soldiers under his command went to hell with their souls.
