Chapter 1001 The whole line is pressed
All the squadrons of the devils have already entered the position of attack, and in the hides of the vast fields and wilderness where the cold wind is howling, the devil soldiers are loaded with bullets, bayonets unsheathed, and half-squats gathered together to wait for the order to attack.
Across the ditch and field from the devil were the front-line troops of the Northern Soviet Army, and in those trenches and machine-gun bunkers, the brethren were also ready.
A new battalion quietly replenished the defensive lines in various places, enhancing the defensive thickness and strength of the front line, and making the brothers who had been guarding everywhere feel a lot more at ease.
The battlefield was very quiet, even the cold guns that rang out from time to time stopped, only the whirring cold wind blew in the ears, and the atmosphere of slaughter was permeating.
"Brother, what kind of locality?"
Seeing that the brothers of the new class were silently pressing bullets into their guns, a platoon commander with a cigarette in his mouth broke the silence in the trenches.
"Yunnan, the former 60th Army." The new squad leader spoke a very stiff official language, which made the platoon leader who asked the question full of surprise.
"That's a long way off, thousands of miles from here." When the platoon commander heard that the brothers who were fighting side by side with him were from a distant place, he was also interested, and handed over a cigarette with a smile.
The squad leader from Yunnan took it and said thank you.
Although the surrounding brothers also came from different places, when they heard that this squad leader was actually from Yunnan, they all looked sideways and turned their eyes to this side.
"Speaking of which, we have fought devils side by side, when we were in Taierzhuang, our flank position was your brothers of the 60th Army, and I also went to your position, and then we were ordered to retreat, and then we have been fighting, and I have never seen your brothers of the 60th Army again." The veteran platoon commander opened the conversation box like a memory.
Hearing that this platoon commander had also fought Taierzhuang, the silent squad leader sighed heavily, and said with some sadness: "After you left, we fought with the little devils for several days, and then the regiment asked me to ask for help, there were devils everywhere and I couldn't find reinforcements, I had to go back, and when I returned to the position, the people on the position were already dead......
"I couldn't find the troops, I stayed nearby to inquire about the whereabouts of the troops, and later I heard that more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle of our 60th Army, many commanders were killed, and those who were still alive had been evacuated to Wuhan, I wanted to find the troops, but there were devils' roadblocks everywhere, and I had no money and was afraid that I would be treated as a deserter when I went back, and finally went to northern Jiangsu with the refugees."
Hearing the words of this squad leader from Yunnan, many of the officers and men of the guerrillas in the trenches felt the same way, and many of them were scattered by various units and had to stay behind enemy lines.
"Brother, as long as we drive the little devils out of China, we can all go home!" The platoon commander didn't know what to say, so he was stunned for a while before patting the Yunnan squad leader on the shoulder and comforting him.
The platoon commander turned his head and turned his gaze to the brothers who were holding their rifles tightly and said, "Brothers, the little devils don't treat us Chinese as human beings, and if they want to occupy our land and let us be slaves of the country, you say, can we agree?!" ”
"No!" The brothers in the trenches shouted in unison.
"Well, it's not a bad seed!" The platoon commander pointed to the outside of the trench and said, "Now the little devil is opposite us, and he will rush over later, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Kill!" The platoon commander was answered by a murderous roar.
"Okay, then let's go on a killing spree today, so that the little devils can also see the power of our Chinese masters!" The platoon commander threw away the cigarette in his hand, pulled out the bayonet, and hung the bayonet on the rifle with a clatter, his face full of fierceness.
The brothers in the trenches did not know much about the so-called patriotism, but they knew that they were soldiers and held on to the responsibilities of a soldier.
The brethren in the trenches drew their bayonets from their scabbards one after another, loaded them with the bayonet mounts of their rifles, and locked them tightly, and waited with murderous spirit.
The devil's shells arrived as promised, and with a terrible whistling sound, they bombarded the exposed guerrilla positions everywhere.
There was only one artillery squadron under the command of the Pingshan Brigade, and the Type 92 infantry guns were constantly firing in the crack, and the devil artillery was almost loading the shells against the scorching bore, and the speed was very fast.
With the roar of the earth shaking the mountains, clouds of mushrooms rose up, and the fortifications of the guerrillas were subjected to heavy bombardment, and sandbags were thrown lightly.
Shells fell into the mud pond and blew up the mud, and in just a few breaths, the entire direction of the guerrilla positions was covered with smoke and dust from the explosion.
The devil's artillery bombarded targets everywhere at the fastest speed, and the entire guerrilla defense line trembled, and many fortifications were penetrated by high-explosive shells and blown into ruins.
The devil's high-explosive bombs were followed by incendiary bombs, and those incendiary bombs burned so much that the grass crackled and burned, and the flames scurried around, burning the ground black.
The battlefield that had been calm until then roared incessantly, and the ears of the brothers were buzzing, and craters of green smoke appeared everywhere.
This time, the devils also let go, as if they were going to shoot all the shells, and the shells covered the guerrillas' positions back and forth, and they had to blow up the positions to pieces.
Although the anti-artillery trenches were reinforced with logs and covered with at least half a meter of earth, many of them were still blown open and the logs were blown off under such bombardment.
The brothers are no longer the group of farmers who were frightened when they heard the gunshots as soon as they entered the battlefield, and the battles of various intensities have hardly stopped since Huaiyin, and they have already fought.
Although the artillery bombardment of the devils was fierce, and from time to time there were screams from the Tibetan trenches being blasted open, but the brothers guarding the entire front were calm and did not move.
The Devil bombarded for more than ten minutes before the shelling stopped, and after firing several sets of smoke bombs to cover the charge, the Devil's infantry commanders drew their sabers and pressed forward almost at the same time.
On the two-kilometer-long defensive line, the devils with squads and squadrons as combat units rushed out without the slightest hesitation after receiving the order to attack.
Those muddy ponds and ditches and rivers could no longer stop the devil's assault, and for a while, there were devil soldiers rushing forward everywhere as far as the eye could see, and a large area of black pressure was pressed.
The devil soldiers have been given the order to die, so the momentum of the charge is also full of murderous momentum, and they want to pounce on it and tear the guarding guerrillas to shreds in order to defend their honor.
The squadron-level commanders of the devils were also involved in the charge, which undoubtedly boosted morale even more.
Looking at the devil soldiers who swooped forward on the entire defense line, a sneer flashed on the face of the devil's captain, Hirayama Kei, this time he wanted to see how the Chinese troops who only knew how to make small moves resisted.
The captain of the devil's brigade, Hirayama, looked down on the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps that fought against them, because he felt that the victory of the Northern Jiangsu Corps was always won by opportunism.
As long as there is an upright decisive battle, he can crush the Northern Jiangsu Corps, so he made a desperate bet this time and pressed all the troops, and the entire front was pressed together, and there was no room for maneuver for the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Now there are only two choices left for the Northern Soviet Army, either retreat and escape, or stay where he is and be eliminated by him, he wants to use absolute strength to defeat the other party and show the strength of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire!
