At the beginning of the morning, there was a rare calm on the shore of Poyang Lake. The two sides died down, the Japanese army was preparing for a general attack, while the national army was healing its wounds.

The Gutang position was bombarded overnight beyond recognition. There are craters everywhere, and the pits are full of blood. Whether it is a trench or a beachhead, it is covered with corpses that have been washed by the rain, and it looks particularly pale against the background of blood.

Stump limbs, severed arms, and even human internal organs can be found everywhere. Ordinary people must faint when they see this horrific scene, but they are warriors, and they may be accustomed to the constant numbness; Maybe their will is strong enough.

Shao Fei did not order the troops to clean up the bodies. They sacrificed for this land, and this land is their best home.

The general offensive of the Japanese army will soon begin. The defenders of the 11th Division were only busy rebuilding their positions and taking short breaks during this short period of time.

However, the Japanese army was not so merciful and would give their opponents time to rest and breathe. Not long after dawn, dozens of planes roared in.

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

The entire Gutang position was bombarded in a covering style, with flames soaring into the sky, steel sheets flying horizontally, mushroom clouds rising one after another, and the position shrouded in smoke. The scorching flame seemed to evaporate the rain from last night.

Not long after, the gunboats on the lake opened fire on the already crippled Gutang position, and nearly a thousand shells rained down on the position. The earth trembled, and the surface of the lake was still rippling in the absence of wind.

"Ahem~ The devil's cannonball really fell from the sky."

Shao Fei punned and couldn't help but sigh.

For the sake of Jiujiang's attack and defense, both China and Japan are gambling heavily and pressing huge bets at any cost. The battle of Wuhan is related to the fate of the famous ethnic groups on both sides.

Nearly 100 landing craft on the lake were at full speed and were coming towards the shore of the lake with great vigour. Their grip reached out to Gutang again.

The officers and men of the 11th Division tried their best to fight back and cut off this claw!

"Put!"

"Bang Bang Bang" "......"

The mortar battalion at the rear of the position launched an artillery bombardment on the Japanese troops who landed on the river bank, and water and earth splashes flew up on the shore, but this limited number was limited, and how could small-caliber artillery stop the greed and desire of the ferocious invaders.

The Japanese troops rushed ashore in a swarm and quickly charged towards the position.

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

Under artillery fire, the defenders fought back. Use their flesh and blood to contend with the overwhelming, densely packed scorching sharpness and shards of steel.

"Behind us is Jiujiang, we have to defend the Gutang position! Brother, hit! ”

Now the commander of the first battalion is commanding the position, the third battalion was disabled last night, the second battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, and now the remains of the first and second battalions are defending the position.

At the regimental headquarters, Chu Yunfan saw that the soldiers who were still alive yesterday had now turned into a cold corpse, and his heart was full of grief. He is a soldier, but he is just a soldier who has never been on a real battlefield. The tragic situation in front of him was very shocking to him.

"I'll go up!"

"You are the commander, and you must be the last to die."

Chu Yunfan wanted to go to the forward position and fight side by side with his soldiers, but was stopped by Shao Fei. Shells and bullets don't have eyes, they don't know who is who, and the life of a commander must not be the same as that of a soldier.

"But...... Is our life more expensive than a soldier's gold, and his life is so cheap!? ”

"It is said that there is no distinction between high and low life, but the life of a commander on the battlefield is more expensive than the soldier's gold, this is the reality. You used to be in the rear command, and you don't understand the cruelty and helplessness of war at all. ”

Chu Yunfan sat back on the stool, gasped, and then asked, "What about the wounded soldiers?" The stretcher team organized by the people ran early. This is what your communists call the all-people war of resistance, and a single shell can scare their courage. ”

Shao Fei did not refute. Soldiers are afraid of death, not to mention the common people, this is just basic human nature.

"Let the lightly wounded who can walk go back to Jiujiang by themselves, and as for the seriously wounded, ......" Shao Fei hesitated and said, "First move to the rear of the position." ”

"Okay, I'll lay it out."

After speaking, Chu Yunfan got up and left the command headquarters.

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

The artillery fire on the position was continuous, and the sound of artillery, bullets, and screams expressed the heroism of the battle.

In the trenches, the commander of a battalion was still directing the battle. The fighters on the position, believing death as if they were at home, repelled several rounds of enemy attacks with the weapons in their hands.

"Chief of Staff, why are you here!?"

"Move the seriously wounded to the rear of the position, and the lightly wounded find a way to go back on their own."

|“ Forget it, how can there be manpower to transfer the wounded, and how to fight with the devil. Beat! ”

The commander of the first battalion was already red-eyed and did not follow Chu Yunfan's orders.

The supplementary regiment was formed on an ad hoc basis, and there was no logistics at all.

Chu Yunfan suddenly ordered loudly: "Execute the order!" ”

The commander of the first battalion just shook his head helplessly and continued to command the troops to fight. This chief of staff is really the first to go to the battlefield, he doesn't understand anything, even if he transfers the wounded, he has to repel the enemy's attack.

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

The sound of explosions at the front of the position resounded, and the soldiers in the first trench were constantly killed and wounded, and the devil's leading attacking troops had reached a distance where they could throw grenades at will.

"Rush!"

The commander of the first battalion gave the order to charge. The soldiers in the trenches threw grenades, picked up rifles and rushed out of the trenches, engaging in a bloody battle with the enemy.

"! Kill~"

Chu Yunfan was extremely depressed, he had never felt so incompetent, so he rushed out desperately.

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

Chu Yunfan held the pistol and kept shooting those devils who were stabbing hard, but the bullets in the pistol ran out quickly. Several devils saw his rank and rushed towards him desperately.

"Protect the Chief of Staff!"

The commander of the first battalion shouted vigorously while fighting the thorns.

Several soldiers of the national army quickly surrounded Chu Yunfan and protected him with their lives.

Seeing those soldiers who were protecting him being stabbed to death one by one, Chu Yunfan was sad and indignant. Picked up a rifle with a bayonet on the ground, intending to fight the devil.

Suddenly, a big hand dragged Chu Yunfan back.

"Are you crazy, do you know how to play with bayonets!?"

Shao Fei came in time, dragged the rifle in Chu Yunfan's hand, took down the bayonet, and shouted, "Kill!" ”

All the soldiers who were fighting bloodily seemed to hear Shao Fei's roar, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Fei rushed to the front line and shouted at those Taiwanese soldiers: "Lao Tzu is a falcon, come at me!" ”

After saying that, rush into the enemy camp and kill selflessly.

Those two devils began to retreat in fear when they heard the falcon, these Taiwanese soldiers are different from local devils, life is higher than honor.

Chu Yunfan felt embarrassed when he saw Shao Fei's sharp killing method, and once again felt his powerlessness and incompetence. If Zhang Fakui hadn't been his uncle, he wouldn't have been able to be a colonel.

(There is a fundamental difference between the Yue army and the Gui army, and the Yue army is more nepotistic.) For example, Xue Yue, the Xue clan from his hometown, has produced nearly ten generals and more than 20 colonels under his promotion. ）

After a bloody battle, the defenders once again repelled the enemy's attack.

Returning to the position, Shao Fei ordered: "Bring all the seriously wounded to the rear of the position, and the lightly wounded find a way to return to Jiujiang by themselves." ”

The commander of the first battalion quickly carried out Shao Fei's order. The same command, spoken in different mouths, has a completely different effect.

Back at the headquarters, Chu Yunfan kicked over a stool uncontrollably and scolded himself: "I'm just a waste!" ”

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know why Commander Zhang sent you over, maybe he wanted to temper you." In the General Staff, you will never know the cruelty on the battlefield and will not appreciate the meaning of sacrifice. I don't know if you're a waste or not, but your brain is loaded with too much stuff, and if you give up some, maybe you'll be a good military man. ”

Obviously, Shao Fei was referring to the hatred in Chu Yunfan's heart. Hatred and pain will only lead people to lose themselves, to forget themselves and the path to be taken.

"Jingle Bell~"

Suddenly, the phone of the headquarters rang, and after Shao Fei picked up the phone and answered it, his face changed greatly.

Chu Yunfan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shao Fei hung up the phone and said, "Shazitan, Jinjipo, and Xiaoshakou have been broken through by the Japanese army, and the division headquarters ordered us to quickly evacuate our positions in case we were outflanked by the Japanese army. ”

The supplementary regiment immediately withdrew from its position and went to Jiujiang for repairs, but Shao Fei was just helpless in his heart. A poor and weak nation is so powerless in the face of robbers who have broken into their sacred homeland with modern steel weapons......
