The scorching sun baked the earth, the air was churning, and the dirt was smoking.

The officers and soldiers of the defending positions in various places of the Wushimen defense line hid in the shade in the trenches, still sweating hot.

"Damn, why is this weather so hot, so cold and cold when it doesn't rain."

Liu Yidao sat on the stool at the battalion headquarters with his upper body full of bullet holes and scars, pulling his sleeves and snorting, cursing again and again.

The deputy battalion commander Qin Shou was also sweating profusely, and he smiled happily when he looked at Liu Yidao's sweat-stained appearance.

"A few days ago, when it was raining heavily, you scolded you for not being able to get the sun every day, and now that the sun is out, you can't scold you for not being able to rain, and I scolded you when God has to be emotional."

Liu Yidao was not angry when he heard Qin Shou's ridicule, grabbed the kettle and raised his neck to pour half a pot of cold water into his stomach, and then comfortably wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, I still have to count on God's blessing to live a few more years, so I don't scold him for being an old man."

Seeing Liu Yidao's blinking kung fu, he didn't admit what he just said, and Qin Shou also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Battalion commander, the regimental seat is here."

Just as the two Liu Yidao and Qin Shou were hiding in the shady camp headquarters, the guards came in to report.

Hearing that Yang Ling, the regiment commander, was coming, the two hurriedly stood up and went out of the battalion headquarters to greet them.

After Yang Ling visited Zhang Hongying and the veterans who had been injured in the last battle from the field hospital, he hurried back without too much delay.

Yang Ling originally wanted to visit the injured former regiment commander Zhang Handuo, but Zhang Handuo was also a regimental officer and was sent to a better hospital in the rear for treatment, so he had to give up.

After returning to the regiment, Yang Ling was busy with his work, after all, the time to rest was only one day, and the main force of the devil had already arrived at the front line of Wushimen and began a tentative attack.

"Tuanza, you're here on this hot day."

Seeing Yang Lingre's sweating profusely, Liu Yidao hurriedly handed over the kettle.

There has just been a hearty heavy rain in northern Jiangxi, and now it is a hot sun, and the heat wave in the air is churning, and the weather conditions are indeed not good.

Although the climate was hot, Yang Ling did not forget his duty, the devil's troops had already launched several tentative attacks on the friendly troops, and he was not at ease about the position, so he personally patrolled.

"I don't worry about you, come and have a look."

Yang Ling took the kettle handed over by Liu Yidao and drank half of the kettle, and the heat finally dispersed a lot.

Liu Yidao patted his chest and said confidently: "Tuanzuo, with us here, you can put your heart in your stomach, we are an iron wall, if the little devils dare to attack, ensure that they hit their heads and bleed."

Yang Ling turned his head to look at Liu Yidao, who was full of confidence, waved his hand and said, "I'm relieved to have your words, but the little devil is well-trained, you must not be negligent and lose your position."

"Don't worry, you can't lose it." Qin Shou also smiled on the side and said.

Yang Ling saw that the two battalion-level commanders were so confident, and he was much more confident: "Go, take me to see your position."

"Tuanza, go this way." Liu Yidao hurriedly turned sideways and moved out of the way, letting Yang Ling walk ahead.

Yang Ling's task this time was to stick to the three small hills not far from each other, which could be regarded as a support point for the Wushimen defense line.

As early as when Yangling was fighting in the Mahuiling area, the rear organized troops and people to build a large number of trench fortifications in the Wushimen area, many of which were semi-permanent reinforced concrete fortresses.

Compared with the simple temporary trench fortifications in the Mahuiling area, the Wushimen front line has now been transformed into a huge and strong position.

At the forefront, there is a warning network made of dense wooden piles and barbed wire, and in the back is a crossfire network built by the bright fort and the dark fort, and then there are scattered trenches, communication trenches, anti-artillery holes, and almost no dead spots in the firing points.

"This is our anti-artillery hole, each anti-artillery hole can hide more than 20 brothers, unless the devil brings in heavy artillery bombardment, the general shelling is no different from tickling."

Yang Ling looked at the wooden planks covered above the anti-artillery hole and nearly two meters of soil, which was also secretly staggering, compared with the simple anti-artillery holes dug in the past, this safety has indeed been significantly improved.

"Don't just pay attention to anti-artillery, but also prevent devils from hitting poison gas bombs." Yang Ling was very satisfied with the anti-artillery fortifications, but still put forward his own suggestions.

"Hehe, Tuanza, we have been prepared, we don't have many gas masks, but we have quilts and water here, as long as the devil is angry, we will use this quilt to wet and block the hole, and the poisonous gas will naturally not be able to enter."

"You're a shrewd kid, but remember to dig more vents, don't suffocate inside."

"Yes, I'll tell someone to do it." Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander, agreed, hurriedly summoned a brother, and gave the order.

Yang Ling also inspected the Ming Fort and the Hidden Fort, most of which were built as fire support points for the trenches, while most of the hidden forts were hidden under the horizon or hidden in a hidden location overgrown with weeds, and there were communication trenches connecting with each other, and the fire network built was also scattered.

"Tuanza!"

The brothers guarding these forts watched Yang Ling personally come to the front to inspect and stood up excitedly and saluted.

Yang Ling also kindly returned the salute, carefully asking them about the reserves of ammunition and the preparation of cooling water for heavy machine guns, etc., and tried to be foolproof, so as not to fight again when the time comes.

The guards in these places are a veteran with several new soldiers.

"Teach them more when they have nothing to do, and when the battle is over, whoever teaches the recruits has strong skills and kills more enemies, I will have another reward." Yang Ling encouraged the veterans to teach the recruits.

"Yes!" When the veteran heard Yang Ling's personal promise, his spirits immediately lifted up.

Yang Ling patted the shoulders of the recruits who looked a little shrunken and said, "You should also follow suit, I will come to assess you when the time comes, and I will also have a prize for those who have excellent grades!"

"Yes!" The recruits' answers were also full of enthusiasm, and they naturally wanted to study hard and show their hands in front of the commander when the time came.

"Tuanza, I, can I want silver dollars then?" One of the recruits said timidly.

"You stinky boy, you're really promising, you haven't made meritorious service yet, you still dare to ask for benefits from Tuanza." The veteran raised his hand and gave the recruit a shudder in the head and scolded.

"Tuanza, the recruit is not sensible, don't be like him." The veteran laughed.

It was rare for Yang Ling to see a recruit so bold, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't say you want silver dollars, as long as you kill devils and make meritorious contributions, even if you want a wife, I will find you one."

"Hahaha......" Hearing Yang Ling's ridicule, the officers around him burst into laughter.

And the recruits were also full of embarrassment, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Tuanza, I, I don't want a wife, my children are almost full moon, and when I earn silver dollars and go back, I can make him a new dress." With a happy smile on his face, the recruit argued.

Hearing the recruit's words, the officers around him restrained their smiles.

"Follow your squad leader to fight devils well, and I will give you silver dollars for meritorious service." Yang Ling's face softened, and he patted the recruit's shoulder and encouraged.

"Yes! I must follow the squad leader to fight devils well! The recruit stepped forward.
