Whether it was in the Xinyang area, at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, or on both sides of the Yangtze River, nearly one million troops fought bloody battles against the most vicious devils on the vast battlefield.

The offense and defense of each battlefield touched the nerves of the high-level commanders on both sides, and they were busy scheduling responses day and night

The senior commanders have an eye on the overall situation and have planned and commanded all group armies and corps operations at the strategic level.

And the vast number of officers and soldiers at the grassroots level also have their own things to do, that is, to fight, destroy the enemy, or be eliminated by the enemy themselves.

Compared with the invisible game of gunpowder among the high-level commanders of the two sides, on the battlefield like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the two sides need to fight face-to-face.

Artillery fire destroyed the fortifications, bullets pierced the body, and the smoke filled the air, and every battle was life-and-death and brutal.

Night covered the entire battlefield, and the sound of gunfire and artillery resounded in the invisible night, and the shells that tore through the air fell nearby from time to time, exploding into a skyrocketing fire.

Flares also continued to rise and fall in the sky, and under the miserable white light, the trenches that the two sides fought for during the day had been filled with mutilated corpses, and the dense density made people's scalps tingle.

The officers and men of both sides fought from morning to sunset, and when they barely took a breath, they fought countless times in flesh and blood, repeatedly rushing and fighting, and the corpses were scattered in the wilderness.

The casualties were heavy, and many of the brothers were exhausted and limped in the craters.

The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and the lingering smell of gunpowder, and the heat of the explosion evaporated the only moisture in the air, and the air seemed to be on fire.

The brethren lay limp on the battlefield, licking their chapped and dusty lips, and smoke was about to come out of their throats.

"Company commander, there's no water, I'm empty."

A brother with his head soaked in blood crawled up to the side of the company commander Su Er, and reached out to touch Su Er's waist.

Su Er was already tired and unmanly, so he let the brother touch his kettle and unscrew it into his mouth.

He laughed when he saw that the brother raised his neck but did not pour out a drop of water, and when he saw the brother being teased.

"If Lao Tzu has water to drink himself, can you still leave it for your kid?"

Su Er snatched the kettle from the brother and tied it around his waist again, the kettle was his trophy, it was a good thing.

The brother did not get a drink of water, and in disappointment leaned back against a pile of scorched earth, panting.

"Company commander, if we continue like this, if we don't get beaten to death by devils, we will die of hunger and thirst here."

Feeling the heat in the air filled with the smell of gunpowder, the brother complained in a low voice.

"That's right, company commander, our heavy machine guns won't last long without water, if the devils pounce on us, without the support of machine guns, the position can't be held, we have to find a way to get some." The machine gun squad leader also leaned his head over and chimed in.

Su Er's grenadier canister has been exhausted and the grenade has become scrap metal, this heavy machine gun is now their only heavy fire support point, without the heavy machine gun, they can't stop the devil's attack, so he has to pay attention.

"Alright, long platoon, you take a few of them to the ditch over there to get some water."

After thinking for a moment, Su Er instructed a platoon commander with a dusty face.

"Yes......" the platoon elder reluctantly replied.

Although fetching water is a simple job, the ditch is really dangerous between their position and the devil's position, and a devil who accidentally finds it can't come back.

"Be careful, watch out for devils." Seeing that a few brothers were about to leave with wooden barrels and kettles, the company commander Su Er reminded him.

"Got it."

The platoon commander replied, and he took the lead in crawling out of the trench with his gun, and several other brothers with water tools also disappeared into the darkness.

The vicinity of the position had been scorched, and huge craters were scattered in a mess, black like a gateway to hell.

The corpses that the devils couldn't snatch back also became cold and stiff, and the platoon commander and a few brothers carefully climbed over the corpses and craters, and felt towards the gurgling ditch.

"Whoa—"

There was a whistling sound in the sky, and a flare was hit into the sky by the devil, and the miserable white light suddenly illuminated the battlefield on both sides of the ditch.

"Teng Teng Teng—"

The Devil Soldiers' Type 92 heavy machine guns rang out with a trembling sound, and a string of scarlet bullets swept over their corpses in front of them, and suddenly a mist of flesh and blood suddenly rose up.

Seeing the devil's routine fire reconnaissance, the platoon commander and his brothers lay on the ground motionless and did not dare to move.

The devil has now become a frightened bird, fearing a night attack by the Chinese army, from time to time to fire flares and fire into the darkness in front of the position to conduct fire reconnaissance.

When the devil's machine gun stopped, the flares fell and went out, and the sky became dark again, the platoon commander and his brothers continued to touch the ditch.

They silently touched the side of the ditch, and when their lips were dry and cracked, they couldn't wait to lie down and drink from their mouths after making sure that there was no danger nearby.

The cool water had a dead coolness, a slight smell of blood, and many of the dead bodies on both sides lay across the ditch.

But at this moment, they can't care so much, whether his water is dirty or not, whether he will drink it or not, he will drink it first, and then say, they are too thirsty.

After drinking the water, they didn't dare to delay the time, so they quickly took out the utensils that filled the water, and began to fill the water, and they had to bring it back.

Just as they were about to fill the water bottle they were carrying, the platoon commander who was suddenly alert made a shushing gesture, and their movements stopped one after another, listening nervously with nervous faces.

In addition to the sound of gurgling water, the sound of footsteps sounded in the darkness not far away, and they hurriedly crawled to the ground, not daring to move.

A group of steel-helmeted imps were silently crossing the small ditch, cautiously past them lying in the dark, and rounding the back of their position.

Seeing this scene, how could they not guess what attention the devil was playing, and they actually wanted to go around behind and attack their position.

But they didn't dare to come out, and waited until all the devils had passed, and then under the pull of the platoon commander, they hurriedly rushed back to the position with heavy kettles and buckets.

"Company commander! Company commander, there is a group of devils who have come around to the back of our position! ”

The platoon commander who went to fetch water crawled into the trench and found the company commander Su Er, who was lying down and resting, and finished the urgent news in one breath, so that he had time to catch his breath.

Hearing the news, Su Er, the tired company commander, suddenly became agitated and hurriedly grabbed the rifle leaning against him.

If the devils attacked, they only needed to aim and shoot in one direction, but the devils went around their backs and hit them, which would be fatal.

"Are you sure the devil went around behind us?" Su Er stared at the platoon commander and asked.

"We all saw that there were about a hundred or so people walking past us."

"Damn, this little devil really doesn't let people live in peace." Su Er cursed in a low voice.

"Three platoons are guarding their positions, one platoon and two platoons are coming with me!" Su Er immediately made a decision and prepared to take two platoons of people to intercept and kill.
