"There is already a fight in the county seat, and we can only survive by ourselves, but if we can't solve the Japanese army on the opposite side first, none of us will survive to retreat into Beishan." Tang Cheng ordered Jiujin to throw grenades, and the squad and platoon leaders under him were naturally persuading Tang Cheng to retreat into the mountains now. But they didn't know that Tang Cheng was a stubborn temper like Liu Goat, and Tang Cheng, who had already made up his mind, would not change his decision lightly.

"They were all raised by their parents, and everyone has only one life, we are the same, and the little devil on the other side is the same. It is true that we are inferior to them in weaponry and firepower, but we have trenches, grenades, bayonets, and fists, and we are no worse than them. Before they attack, I want you to keep an eye on your men, and you are not allowed to open fire without my orders, and if any of you want to leave, it will only be after we have dealt with this group of Japanese soldiers. As he spoke, Tang Cheng had already put the shell gun in his hand flat and looked around at the squad and platoon leaders around him.

"I know you all want to leave, and I want to, but before we leave, we have to kill the damn Japanese soldiers on the other side, and if we give up this level, there will be a steady stream of Japanese soldiers from here all the way to the county seat. The other companies of our garrison regiment and the people in the county town will be targeted by the Japanese army, and if you think about it, there are tens of thousands of people there. "Tang Cheng had disregarded the lives of countless people at Rujiangmen in Nanjing, and he was powerless at that time, but now he commanded more than 100 armed soldiers, so he did not intend to continue to ignore them, even if he eventually died here.

"Ho" Under Tang Cheng's nod, Jiujin threw out the first grenade with a loud shout, there was no extra space for Jiujin, and the flashing and moving when he threw the grenade could only be solved within 2 meters. The grenade with hope crossed the air and flew out in a perfect arc, and the "boom" grenade exploded and knocked an outcropping steel helmet back into the crater, and the grenade thrown by the nine catties landed at an excellent location, only 2 meters away from the crater designated by Tang Cheng.

"Come again" With Tang Cheng's angry shout, Jiujin threw grenades again, this time throwing two grenades in a row. "Boom" and "boom" two explosions sounded outside the position, and the smoke directly covered the crater where the Japanese soldiers were hidden. "Hahaha I threw it, I threw it." Enduring the pain in his arm, Jiujin in the trench shouted loudly, and as the smoke cleared, Jiujin was already sure that at least one of the two grenades he had just thrown hit the crater.

"Don't be too happy, the Japanese are ready to attack." Accompanied by the shouts of Tang Cheng, most of the people in the 1st Company heard a scream in mid-air, which was the sound of Japanese mortar shells cutting through the air. "Shelling, concealment." These squad and platoon leaders no longer care about forcing Tang Cheng to give the order to retreat, once the Japanese attack, they can only mobilize a qiē to counterattack, otherwise everyone will die here.

"Boom! Rumble! "Boom! Rumble! "The Japanese fired two rounds of artillery fire in a row and hit them accurately, and at least three of the mortar shells went into the trenches of the 1st Company. The powerful impact of the ensuing explosions formed a furious qi that rushed back and forth in the trenches, and the shrapnel that rotated at high speed with the explosion swept through the qi lang in an elusive trajectory to the objects that blocked them. As a company commander, Tang Cheng also held his head in his hands, knees on his chest, and curled up at the bottom of the trench in a half-sided, half-lying position, he had no time to hide in the anti-artillery hole, he closed his lips and eyes and endured the collision of anger, Tang Cheng could not do anything before the end of the opponent's shelling.

"Onboard, onboard." With the opening of the opponent's machine guns, the onboard that the Japanese must shout when they charge sounded, and Okamoto's squadron finally couldn't resist it and began to attack. "The little devil is coming up, ready to fight, ready to fight." The urging shouts of the squad and platoon leaders rang out after the Japanese appeared, and quickly spread throughout the trenches. The soldiers of the garrison regiment, which had previously been hiding in the anti-artillery holes like sculptures, moved, and they did not dare to stand still in the face of the fists and butts of the veterans.

Some of the novices who drilled out of the anti-artillery holes got up to their combat positions, and some had to move along the trenches to reach their positions, and all kinds of hard objects rubbed against each other and collided in the trenches to form a unique sound, and with the soldiers in place and the pull of the bolts, the tense atmosphere quickly spread in the position. The hapless Tang Cheng endured dizziness and struggled to stand up, picked up his dropped rifle from the ground, and then got up with a blank face, raised his gun and aimed forward and prepared to fire.

The attacking Japanese army was still a hundred meters away from here, and Tang Cheng, who was waiting for the Japanese army to approach, looked at the soldiers on his side, and the scene that greeted him made Tang Cheng feel that the decision he had made was so ridiculous. The soldiers, who were ordered to pull the bolts and prepare to shoot, were just farmers or ordinary people who couldn't even kill chickens a few months ago. And now they are trembling and preparing for war according to the orders of their respective squad leaders, Tang Cheng doesn't know how many of them will survive, and he doesn't want to think about it, but he knows that war is a nightmare for these people.

"Bang" "Bang" Under the strong restraint of the squad and platoon commanders, only Uncle An and a few of his still alive gunmen were firing sporadically, this time it was not Tang Cheng deliberately showing weakness, but because only a few people in the 1st Company could hit a target 80 meters away with a rifle. Uncle An's firepower was not very strong, and they didn't grab the gun and hit the target, but they still slowed down the opponent's attack speed at a certain distance. "You're fucking running out of heads? Didn't you say that you have to change positions after a few shots? Uncle An dragged a guy who was still aiming through the trench to change positions, but the scream of mortars was already heard in mid-air.

"Boom" "Boom" The two mortar shells fired by the Japanese army almost landed in one position, and as the explosion sounded, Tang Cheng saw Uncle An and the gunman engulfed in smoke. The bloody corpse appeared in Tang Cheng's sight after the smoke dissipated, but Tang Cheng didn't have time to go over to see what was going on now, because the attacking Japanese advance was less than 80 meters away from the trench, which was Tang Cheng's sure shooting distance, and he was about to open fire.

Xie Bo's notes contain a lot of shooting theories learned from German instructors, what wind speed, what angle, what distance and so on give Tang Cheng a headache. He didn't understand what this had to do with the war, all he wanted was to shoot the bullets in the chamber of his gun at the Japanese troops in front of the position, as long as the bullets he shot could accurately hit them, this was the result he wanted. Pulling the trigger and then seeing the target he was aiming at fall down with a bullet was Tang Cheng's most urgent wish, and he had no time to care about other things.

"Fire, fire" When the Japanese attack broke through less than 60 meters from the position, Tang Cheng, who had already exhausted the first bullet bridge, finally gave the order to open fire. Almost at the same time as the shouts of Tang Cheng rang out, the long-suppressed gunfire finally erupted in the trenches, and the soldiers who were ready to shoot pulled the trigger, and the hot bullets rained out. The Yellow Tide approaching the position of the 1st Company slowed down significantly, and even regressed in some positions, but this situation only lasted for a short time, and with the sound of Japanese machine guns, the stalled Yellow Tide continued to approach the position.

With the screaming of mortar shells across the air, the 1st Company's position once again rose into a cloud of fireballs, bullets and shrapnel swept through the position like a storm, and many people died before they could let out a wail. And most of the people on the position, including Tang Cheng, in order to save their lives, retreated back into the trenches early when the Japanese firepower was at its most intense, but in this way, the firepower on the position naturally weakened.

"I'm going home, I'm not in the army, I'm going home." A crying voice sounded in the anti-artillery hole only a few meters away from Tang City, and the recruits who had left their rifles and bullet pouches on their bodies cried and began to climb the trenches to escape from the battlefield. The most feared thing in the battle is not that the war is not going well, nor is it the disparity in strength, but deserters, one deserter will take ten people, ten deserters will take away a hundred people, the precursor of the rout is the appearance of deserters and panic, if it cannot be stopped in time, it will cause the collapse of the entire defense line and position.

Looking at the recruit who was climbing the trench, Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, pulled out the shell gun on his waist and barely took aim, and shot the deserter in the trench with two shots. "The Japanese are on the offensive, and those who dare to flee their positions before the end of the battle will be killed. Those who dare to shake the hearts of the army before the end of the battle will be killed. Those who dare to avoid war will be killed. Tang Cheng glanced at the soldiers in the trench with a hideous face, no one dared to look at him for even a second, as evidenced by the corpse that fell at Tang Cheng's feet.

Several soldiers who also wanted to flee the battlefield honestly returned to their respective combat positions, and the sound of rifle fire, which had been scattered under the Japanese machine gun fire, suddenly became loud, and everyone in the 1st Company tried their best to shoot the bullets out of their guns. In the chaos of the battlefield, they don't know if the bullets they shoot can kill the enemy, maybe the bullets have deviated somewhere else, but they are still pulling the bolt, aiming, shooting, mechanically repeating these actions, until all the bullets in the magazine are gone, then they will crouch down to reload the bullets and enjoy a moment of safety.
