Not long after Liu Goat left, "Boom! "Boom!" "Boom!" The Japanese artillery finally opened fire again, Tang Cheng couldn't believe that this was true, the target of the Japanese bombardment was the position of the second company, but they even covered their own soldiers under artillery fire, Tang Cheng even doubted that the Japanese artillery commander was a fool. Pushing Jiujin into the nearest anti-artillery hole, Tang Cheng still hid under the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and it was not only the anti-artillery holes that survived under such intensive shelling, but also who had good luck, Tang Cheng did not believe that his luck was the worst.

The steel helmets in the trenches all retracted their heads and squatted in the anti-artillery hole, they were no strangers to the Japanese artillery bombardment, the difficult thing was only the beginning of the shelling, with the continuation of the shelling and everyone's numbness, the steel helmets in the position have gradually been able to adapt to the Japanese artillery bombardment. With the violent explosion, the ground began to rise rolling smoke and pillars of smoke rising into the sky, and Tang Cheng, who had already collapsed, quietly lay down under the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, praying desperately for God's blessing in his heart.

The explosion opened the soil layer and threw huge stones out of the soil layer, and before the stones landed in mid-air from a height of several meters, they would be hit by the Japanese artillery shells and become rubble scattered back to the ground. The entire position has been completely covered by the orange-red flames after the explosion of the shells, and the splashing shrapnel is mixed with the shock wave that swept everything on the position, and it is appropriate to describe the right flank position at this time when the ground shakes the mountain, and the Japanese artillery bombardment actually bombarded the position of the second company into a sea of fire purgatory.

Because of aerial reconnaissance, the Japanese army learned that the Chinese army here had already been prepared for battle, but the battle in Chunhua Town made them not think that the defenders of Guanghua Gate would have much combat effectiveness, and after the Japanese army tentatively lost two consecutive times, the Japanese troops besieging Chunhua Town had a new understanding of the defenders of Guanghua Gate. Thanks to the excellent performance in the battle of Shanghai, the Japanese Ninth Division also joined the offensive formation against Nanjing, and at this time it was the 36th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Ninth Division that fought against Xie Chengrui's regiment.

Because of the knowledge that this defender was the second regiment of the famous teaching corps in the Chinese army, the 36th Infantry Wing naturally did not dare to slack off and gave a death order to completely annihilate this Chinese army. The Japanese army's plan was to cut off the retreat of the 51st Division from Chunhua Town and completely annihilate the 51st Division in the area of Chunhua Town, so Xie Chengrui's position became a fortress that the 36th Wing had to overcome, and for this reason the 36th Wing could be said to have made a bloody investment, in addition to the divisional artillery wing was all included in the combat sequence of the 36th Wing, the 114th Division also transferred a brigade to join the attack.

The brigade of the 114th Division was the first to attack, and their plan was to outflank the defenders of China on the position, but unfortunately their plan was seen through by Xie Chengrui, and the brave and good 36th Wing was of course not idle, while the infantry brigade of the 114th Division attacked the main position of the defenders of China, the Yamashita squad belonging to the 36th Wing secretly infiltrated disguised as weeds, preparing to take advantage of the fact that the defenders of China were diverted from their attention, and raided the right flank position of the second company.

Whether it is the 114th Division Infantry Brigade and the 36th Wing's calculations, the mistake is that they met Xie Chengrui and Liu Goat, Xie Chengrui had already seen through the Japanese army's layout before the Japanese army launched the operation, and Liu Goat relied on the experience of the battlefield against the enemy to see through the camouflage and purpose of the mountain team. The infantry brigade of the 114th Division was repelled by Xie Chengrui, and the team under the mountain was beaten up by Liu Goat and them outside the trench, and the sudden outbreak of gunfire on the right flank position made the 36th Wing Zhilu Road position The defenders of China came to reinforcements, so they began to shell the position of the second company, hoping to destroy the opponent's will to fight through large-scale artillery bombardment.

The shells from the Japanese army continued to fall from the sky, and in the distance behind him were continuous explosions, and the black smoke and flames raised from the positions bombed by the Japanese army rose into the air, completely covering the entire sky. Tang Cheng, who was hiding under the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, was already in a cold sweat on his face, and it was the first time he had encountered this kind of artillery bombardment, and the soil that fell from the trench wall was about to bury him alive.

"Don't come" shook the mountain, Tang Cheng, who was hiding under the corpse of the Japanese army, suddenly found that Jiujin who was pushed into the anti-artillery hole by himself ran out, Tang Cheng shouted loudly, let Jiujin hide back, but his throat hurt like a knife, and the sound that should have been roared could only be nested in his throat. The same disgraced nine catties got out of the anti-artillery hole, picked up a steel helmet in the trench and fastened it to his head, and then crawled along the bottom of the trench to Tang Cheng's side.

"You're stupid, this cannonball is full of craters, and you're stupid enough to run out." After being rescued by Jiujin from the situation where he was about to be buried alive, Tang Cheng, who had already consumed all his physical energy, let Jiujin drag himself to an anti-artillery hole, just complaining in a low voice that Jiujin didn't know the depths. Jiujin found a very large anti-artillery hole, enough for Tang Cheng and Jiujin to hide in it, first push Tang Cheng into the anti-artillery hole, and then Jiujin followed Tang Cheng's example and grabbed the corpse of a Japanese soldier and blocked it outside the entrance of the anti-artillery hole, so that he and Tang Cheng were naturally much safer.

Hiding in the anti-artillery hole does not mean that you can avoid the ravages of Japanese shelling, in fact, as long as you are in the position, you will inevitably suffer the risk of death, and everyone here has an equal chance of survival, but it is the luck of the battle. It took five minutes for the Japanese artillery bombardment to stop, and the entire position became quiet, but their eardrums in Tangcheng were affected by the explosion to varying degrees, and everyone listened to the sound very accurately.

The concentrated strike lethality of the Japanese artillery fire was too terrifying, and when the weakened Tang Cheng was pulled out of the anti-artillery hole by Jiujin, Tang Cheng actually found that there seemed to be only two living people on the entire position, him and Jiujin. Looking at the collapsed trench in front of him, Tang Cheng's heart continued to sink, and looking at the past, the Japanese army's violent artillery fire seemed to have turned over this piece of ground entirely, burning every grain of sand on the position, or why they were all charred black colors.

After the shelling, the right flank position was bombed and the terrain was changed, and the original outline could not be found at all, Tang Cheng stood in the trench and looked around a little blankly, but he did not see Liu Goat, nor did he see Zhou Fu, let alone the rest of the second company. The joy of escaping the Japanese shelling disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Tang Cheng's heart was as uncomfortable as falling into an ice cave at this time, and his mind kept flipping Liu Goat's face that was always full of ridicule and the appearance of everyone in the second company.

"There are living people, and there are living people." Jiujin, who didn't believe in evil, used his steel helmet to dig in the floating soil in the trenches, and changed several places one after another, and finally he dug out a guy from the floating soil who could still breathe, but it was a guy from the 51st Division, and the person Tang Cheng was looking forward to did not appear. It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive, seeing that Jiujin dug out a living person, Tang Cheng's body was suddenly full of strength, picked up a bloodstained steel helmet and knelt on the ground to dig those floating soils, and muttered in a low voice while digging.

The entire position was "cultivated" by the Japanese artillery fire, and the soil was blown up so soft that people could lose half of their calves when they stepped on it. Tang Cheng finally found the anti-artillery fortifications when Liu Shanyang commanded the battle according to the location in his impression. The main body of the fortifications did not completely collapse, but the mouth was only a one-meter-square hole that was collapsed by the shelling. "Are the people inside still alive?" Tang Cheng leaned on the entrance of the cave and subconsciously shouted inside, only to realize that he had done something inappropriate after shouting.

Tang Cheng quickly dug up the floating soil blocked at the entrance of the cave with the steel helmet in his hand, and then the whole person lay on the floating soil and drilled into the collapsed fortifications like insects. Through the light that came through the hole, I was greeted by a large pile of tattered sandbags, which were used by the men of the Second Company to serve as a protective wall when they were resting on the fortifications, most of these sandbags were broken, and the sand poured out and mixed with the collapsed earth.

It was only in this fortification that one could be terrified of being under Japanese fire: the foundations of the stone and tree trunks were shaken to the ground, and the entire three-story fortifications, which were also made of logs and solid earth, were almost blown through. The dirt that poured down from the top of the fortification made the fortification feel much smaller, and Liu Goat, who had been injured in the shoulder, was lying on a sack, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Wake up! Wake up soon......" Tang Cheng rushed over and shook Liu Goat's body desperately, he tried Liu Goat's nose with his hand, and his breath. Tang Cheng only dared to gently shake Liu Goat's body, he didn't even dare to push too hard, he was afraid that Liu Goat would flow black blood from his mouth and nose like the platoon commander when he was in the miscellaneous company. Suddenly, Liu Goat's eyes opened on his muddy face, and then he raised his hand weakly, as if pointing to his ear, and then he softened, and his eyes closed again.

"Nine catties, nine catties" Tang Cheng himself couldn't get Liu Goat out of this fortification, so Tang Cheng crawled out of the fortification and called Jiujin, and Jiujin, who was covered in mud, had already dug out 8 people from the floating soil at this time, including Zhou Fu, who had a broken arm. With Jiujin's help, Tang Cheng quickly expanded the collapsed hole to a scale that could drill into two people at the same time, and then got in with Jiujin and dragged the unconscious Liu Goat out.
