"Didn't I tell Lao Xu that you should stay in the barracks and rest? What are you doing here? It's not enough to add to the mess." Tang Cheng's left arm was wounded, and the action of reloading the bullet into the rifle looked very awkward, and Liu Goat, who was overthrown in the trench by a breath of anger, found Tang Cheng when he was about to turn over and get up, but Tang Cheng's action of reloading the bullet made Liu Goat couldn't help but scold.

Tang Cheng knew that Liu Goat didn't really want to scold him, the slightest mistake on the battlefield might cost him his life, Liu Goat's scolding just wanted Tang Cheng to be careful. As if to prove to Liu Goat that his injuries were okay, Tang Cheng, who had loaded his bullets, lay down in the trench and raised his gun to shoot, and five bullets were shot out by Tang Cheng in the shortest time. Tang Cheng, who was crouching down again to reload the bullets, smiled smugly at Liu Goat, no matter what Tang Cheng's accuracy was, his movements and speed when shooting just now were no problem.

With a bang, a pillar of smoke rose from the position, and Liu Shishi jumped out of the smoke and ran over, "Regiment commander, the left side can't stand it, there are less than 40 people left in the 2nd and 3rd companies, and all the grenades are used up." "Liu Shishi, who is quick with his hands and feet, is now Liu Goat's herald, and is responsible for the communication between the companies on the position and the transmission of Liu Goat's orders. After Liu Shanyang transferred out the 4th and 5th companies, he reorganized the 2nd and 3rd companies that had been disabled and stationed them on the left flank of the position, but the two company commanders had already died, and the left flank position, which lacked the command of the officer, had now become the main direction of the Japanese attack.

The fireworks signal on the Beishan side has not appeared, which makes Liu Goat temporarily relieved, and there is no signal, which means that the nine catties left in Beishan are safe, and it also means that there are no Japanese troops coming from Beishan. "You go command the left flank position, I'm giving you 20 men." Before Tang Cheng could get up and shoot again, Liu Goat had already pointed his finger at him. Several successive command mistakes in Beishan had made Tang Cheng lose confidence, and he now just wanted to participate in the battle as a small soldier, Liu Goat asked him to command the left flank position, and Tang Cheng's reaction was to shake his head desperately and refuse.

"Of the four company commanders, you are the only one left, if you don't go, do you want Lao Tzu to go." Tang Cheng, who was shaking his head desperately, was dragged up from the ground by Liu Goat, and the two slaps were slapped hard, and Tang Cheng's cheeks were already high and swollen. "If the left flank position is gone, there will be no way for us people to return to the city, I will give you 20 people, and you must guard until dark." Liu Goat's words made Tang Cheng subconsciously look at the sky, it was already past noon, and it would take at least four or five hours to hold on until dark.

Although reluctant, Tang Cheng still went to the left flank position, taking with him the ammunition that Lao Xu had prepared for him. With 120 rounds of rifle ammunition, 100 rounds of shell bullets and 6 grenades, the flower machine was left by Tang Cheng to Liu Goat, because he really couldn't carry so many weapons and ammunition. "Boom! Bang! ......"Tang Cheng had just arrived at the left flank position when the Japanese artillery bombardment came. This is not the mortar that Tang Cheng is familiar with, but the kind of mountain artillery that blows up a crater, and Tang Cheng now knows how those casualties of the garrison came from.

The target of the Japanese artillery fire this time was not their position, but the position of the 173rd Division next to it, which allowed Tang Cheng, who still felt unstable from a mile away, to see clearly from the side. "That's enough for them to drink a pot." The position of the 173rd Division next to it was completely obscured by gray smoke and orange-red firelight, and he could not see the outline of the position.

"Company commander, what if the Japanese artillery turns around and blows us up later?" Tang Cheng suddenly felt that his palms were full of cold sweat, and he felt as if he had returned to the scene of being shelled by the Japanese army in Nanjing, and Liu Shishi's question made him feel even more irritable.

"What to do? What else can I do, the Japanese artillery fire is smashing over, let's take the head and then continue. "Tang Cheng fought very bravely, he fought with the regiment commander Liu Goat in Shanghai and Nanjing, and was a close confidant of the regiment commander, but he was also a child who was only 19 years old. The cruelty of the war was enough to crush Tang Cheng, and Liu Shishi's inquiry made Tang Cheng's long-suppressed anger erupt, and Liu Shishi, who was hysterical and screaming, ran to Liu Goat's position in a puff of smoke.

"I don't think it's better for us to let all the brothers withdraw to the anti-artillery holes, even if the little devils touch the position, we can completely retake it, so it's better than everyone staying in the trenches waiting for the bombing." The person who suggested to Tang Cheng was a veteran, and he completely copied what Liu Goat did when he first commanded the entire position. Tang Cheng knew the advantages of doing this, but he also knew the disadvantages that this might bring, once they were rushed to the position by the Japanese army, it would be difficult for them to drive the Japanese out of the position again because they lacked experience in close combat.

Tang Cheng finally agreed to let most of the soldiers hide in the anti-artillery holes, but he still appointed some people to serve as observation posts to stay in the trenches, and the observers designated by Tang Cheng to stay in the trenches had to pray that the Japanese artillery bombardment was over, or not to move to their own place. The Japanese artillery bombardment of the position of the 173rd Division lasted for a while and then began to turn to Tang Cheng's side, and the smoke from the explosion completely covered the land like the sky and the moon, and the soldiers of the garrison regiment squatting in the anti-artillery hole did not have the mood to see the excitement just now, and all the expressions of everyone were numb, including Tang Cheng himself.

"Boom, boom!" Deafening explosions rang out one after another on the position, and the gas set off by the explosion actually pushed some of them directly out of the trenches. Tang Cheng held his head in the standard anti-artillery posture recorded in Xie Bo's notes, crouched in the anti-artillery hole, opened his mouth wide to balance the shock of his eardrums, and let his back leave the cave wall to prevent his internal organs from being shocked. The Japanese artillery bombardment was very accurate, and basically all the shells fell on the position, and the trenches on the position had been bombed and dilapidated, and some of the trenches had collapsed even more than ten meters.

"The little devils are coming up, the old and young masters are coming out to kill the devils." The observation posts that survived the artillery fire hissed and shouted from the positions, and only one of the seven observation posts designated by Tang Cheng survived. The Japanese artillery fire stopped as soon as it was said, and while the gunpowder smoke was thick on the position, the guys in the anti-artillery holes swarmed out and looked at their respective positions. Since yesterday, those of them who have only been trained for a period of time have fought several battles with the Japanese army, and those who are still alive can know what to do by feeling at all.

Tang Cheng drilled out of his anti-artillery hole, directly lying on the trench that was about to collapse and looked ahead with a telescope, what caught his eye was an endless stream of earthy yellow people, 300 people, maybe 500 or even more Japanese soldiers made Tang Cheng feel pressure, although he knew that the crowds in the distance were not aimed at his own position, but Tang Cheng's heart was still very unconfident. Subconsciously looking left and right, the smoke on the position was too thick, basically he couldn't see his five fingers, but Tang Cheng knew that he was not alone, he forced his undulating chest, and did not dare to inhale the air mixed with smoke and dust in a big gulp, Tang Cheng knew that it would make him cough to death.

The dust that rolled in the air in the fire and smoke made Tang Cheng have to squint his eyes, and the smoke had already smoked his eyes to tears, and at this moment, the battle began. At the moment when the gunshots rang out, Tang Cheng didn't even know how his soldiers had spotted the enemy, but he quickly confirmed the enemy's situation, and the Japanese troops not far in front of him returned fire, and the jumping gunfire told him that there was an enemy there.

In the panic, Tang Cheng picked up the gun and fired, the smoke and dust affected his shooting accuracy, Tang Cheng could only shoot according to the flames of those guns, but Tang Cheng regretted it after shooting. I found the opponent from the enemy's muzzle flame, and the opponent can also find myself from the gunfire, so I was exposed after shooting. The trenches that had been blown up for many sections were full of dangers, Tang Cheng only ran two steps before he tripped over something, and the Mauser rifle in his hand was also thrown to the ground, and he had to breathe in the choking air, and then groped for his Mauser rifle to find his own Mauser rifle.

Tang Cheng, who had changed his position, quietly raised his gun and waited, the smoke dissipated a little, and his sight returned to normal, and there were not many ghost soldiers who touched it, looking at the scale of less than 30 people in only two squads. The Japanese army did not expect to encounter a strong resistance, and was beaten and retreated in a panic, and suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of dozens of their rifles and two light machine guns in Tangcheng, and the Japanese soldiers who could escape back were at most a fraction, and they easily repelled this offensive of the devils in Tangcheng!

The battle ended in a matter of minutes, and even the heavy machine guns of the Japanese troops on the opposite side did not fire, except for the "crackling" sound of the fire burning on the position, the battlefield suddenly fell into a dead silence. The ears that had just experienced the bombardment of Japanese artillery were very uncomfortable with such calmness, but Tang Cheng in the trenches still resisted the urge not to shout to prove that he was not deaf, but just quietly shrank in the trenches and observed the movement in front of the position. The Japanese army will come up again soon, they won't just send a few people to attack, is this just a temptation? Tang Cheng, who was lying in the trenches, learned to think like Xie Bo, but he hadn't figured out the answer yet.

"Go to a few people, get back the weapons and ammunition from the Japanese soldiers outside, and return the personal belongings on the corpses to the people who found them." The front of the position was scattered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the rifles scattered around the corpses attracted Tang Cheng's attention, and when he was in Nanjing, he did not use the Japanese army's 38 rifles. Although the lethality is not as good as that of the Mauser rifle, the recoil of the 38 rifle is much smaller than that of the Mauser rifle, and the garrison regiment has now begun to have a shortage of ammunition.
