The intensity of the 1st Company's return fire does not mean that it can completely contain the momentum of the opponent's Japanese attack, especially after the Japanese machine guns and mortars also join the battle. The recruits who have only been trained in a hurry for 2 months cannot guarantee that they can accurately hit the target in the face of artillery fire, so as the battle continues, although the attacking Japanese troops have obviously slowed down the speed of their advance, those skillful Japanese soldiers are still approaching the position of the 1st Company little by little.

One after another, the soldiers of the 1st Company were shot and fell, and in the confrontation with the Japanese army, those who had only received simple training did not take advantage. The screams and the wails of the soldiers who were shot mixed with the sound of gunfire made the position even more tragic and chaotic, and the smell of blood in the smoke reminded Tang Cheng of the battle outside Guanghua Gate. This was the first time that Tang Cheng had commanded a battle alone, and he commanded more than 200 troops, and he didn't want to mess up the battle, but the menacing Japanese army didn't seem to give him this opportunity.

"No, let's retreat for the time being, and if we continue to fight like this, before the little devil rushes to the position, our people will almost die." There were more and more dead and wounded soldiers in the position, and even Sun He, the commander of the second platoon, who had high hopes for Liu Goat, could not hold on. Sun He from the 74th Division escaped from Nanjing and wandered all the way to Mengcheng, and was directly left by Liu Shanyang into the 1st Company as the 2nd platoon commander.

"Tell Jiujin to take his people to withdraw first, and when they are ready, let's retreat again, or none of us will be able to leave." Tang Cheng did not refuse Sun He's offer this time, in fact, he had already regretted his misjudgment, even if Sun He didn't come to him to build a retreat, he would give the same order later. Letting Jiujin and his bombardier team withdraw first is a safeguard measure for Tang Cheng, and the current trench 30 meters back is the second trench prepared by Tang Cheng, and Jiujin and his bombardiers can easily throw grenades anywhere within 30 meters to provide cover for the retreating troops.

Jiujin, who admitted his death, still didn't want to retreat first, but was scolded by Tang Cheng with the front of his military uniform, so he took the bombardiers and wounded under his command to retreat to the next trench first. "Bang" "Bang" Tang Cheng fired two shots in a row before he put down the Japanese flag soldier he had been staring at for a while, but he himself was almost hit by a bullet from the Japanese army. "Huh" Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck that was almost shot by a bullet, lowered his body and filled the bullet bridge into the magazine.

"Boom" A mortar shell that fell into the trench exploded, and Tang Cheng, who was squatting to reload the bullet, was pushed by the explosion and hit the trench, not only did the rifle in his hand fall to the ground, but even Tang Cheng himself almost passed out. Tang Cheng, who was shaking his head vigorously, turned over and sat up, although he was not injured by the mortar shell just now, but Tang Cheng's ears were buzzing all the time, so that he couldn't hear other sounds, including the sound of guns and shouts on the battlefield at this time.

The soldiers under Tang Cheng did not know this, some people already thought that Tang Cheng who was sitting in the trench was injured, and some even thought that Tang Cheng, who had disappeared from the position, had been killed in battle and died under the fire of the Japanese army. "The company commander died, and the company commander was killed by the little devil's cannon." Some people shouted on the position one after another, and the squad and platoon leaders under Tang Cheng were already trying their best to stop the shouting soldiers, but the news that Tang Cheng had died quickly spread throughout the entire position.

"Kuroko, what should we do? Uncle An is gone, you are in charge, you have an idea. Huang Fei, who was squatting in the trench to reload his rifle, shouted without raising his head, Kuroko was raising his gun to shoot, but Huang Fei knew that he could hear what he had just said. Heizi is the child adopted by Uncle An, before Qingyunzhai was not incorporated by the garrison group, Heizi was the young master of Qingyunzhai, and now that Uncle An is no longer there, Huang Fei and the few bandits who are still alive in Qingyunzhai are naturally looking forward to Heizi and horses.

"What else can I do, naturally I will fight with this gang of little devils to the end." Kuroko's eyes were full of murderous intent, so much so that his face looked distorted all over. "Uncle An died at the hands of these little devils, shouldn't we avenge him?" Gritting his teeth, Kuroko pulled the trigger and shot an attacking Japanese soldier again, but he was also targeted by the Japanese machine gunners, and a string of bullets came, forcing Kuroko to crouch down and move to another firing position.

"Boom" was another cloud of smoke rising not far from Tang Cheng, and it was pushed by the explosion again, and Tang Cheng, who was buzzing in his ears, miraculously recovered his hearing. "Bang" "Bang" The two soldiers not far from Tang Cheng were shot and fell, these two guys were about to run out of the trench and flee for their lives, but they happened to be seen by Tang Cheng, who got up and stood up, so they gave them two shots without thinking.

"Those who dare to fear the war and avoid the war will be killed. Those who turn their backs on the robe Zegan and become a deserter will be killed. With a pair of blood-red eyes, Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun, shouted loudly in the trenches, and the soldiers who were swept by his eyes did not dare to look at him. Under the strong coercion of Tang Cheng and the strong restraint of those squad and platoon leaders, the crumbling position of the 1st Company was never broken by the Japanese army, although the Japanese forward soldiers had attacked less than 70 meters from the position, but they were never able to continue to advance.

"The 1st platoon left cover, and the 2nd and 3rd platoons withdrew first and rear, taking all the wounded and weapons and ammunition with them." After the shouting, Tang Cheng finally calmed down, the novices of the 1st Company have now retreated, and reluctantly keeping them in the position will only increase unnecessary casualties, rather than someone being killed in the trench by himself for a while, it is better to order them to retreat now. Among the three platoons of the 1st Company, only the 2nd platoon and the 3rd platoon had the most novices, and they were also the two platoons with the greatest casualties.

As the two platoons retreated along the traffic trench, the gunfire on the 1st Company's position was much more sparse, but because of the sunspots, although the gunfire was frequent, the accuracy was much higher. "The people of Shina can't stand it, they start to retreat, order Hashimoto to attack immediately, I will kill all these people one by one." Okamoto, who stayed behind to supervise the battle, gave the order to charge the front team, and in his impression, it was most appropriate to launch a charge when the Shina army was retreating, and it was likely that he would be able to break through the defense line of the Shina army and cause a major rout in one go.

"Company commander, the little devil is about to start charging." In the dense sound of loading, the Japanese soldiers more than 60 meters away began to quickly get up and charge, knowing that there were no machine guns on the position in Tangcheng, so Hashimoto, who commanded the charge, did not let his soldiers pull the skirmish line very wide, and the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were almost crowded together looked murderous. The board that the Japanese soldiers shouted not only brought them courage and the will to fight as if they were dead, but also put a lot of pressure on the 1st Platoon on the position, and the bullets rained down, and with the smoke and fire that rose from time to time, the position of the 1st Company had become a shooting range for Okamoto's squadron to dump ammunition. The "boom" of the explosion at close range sounded very different from when it was a little farther away, and the heat of the explosion was instantaneous, and the tiny debris made the exposed skin tingle suddenly. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets were still coming, Tang Cheng in the position looked straight ahead as if he had suddenly been enchanted. The soldiers lying on his stomach didn't know what was wrong with Tang Cheng, and no one dared to ask him, Tang Cheng's appearance of killing the deserter just now had already made the veterans and novices of the 1st Company afraid of him.

More than ten seconds later, Tang Cheng suddenly seemed to wake up from his sleep, and shouted in the position at the top of his voice, "The enemy has come up, shoot all the bullets in the chamber of your guns, and repel their attack this time, so that we can retreat." Tang Cheng wasn't in a simple daze just now, he just suddenly remembered a record in Xie Bo's notebook. When the enemy has a huge disparity in strength and the situation is unfavorable, the commander must be careful and courageous and not panic, as long as the command is appropriate, the disadvantage can also become an important factor for the opponent to make mistakes.

It is an indisputable fact that since the beginning of the battle with this group of Japanese troops, the 1st Company of Tangcheng has been at a disadvantage. Although Tang Cheng had already ordered the other two platoons to retreat, he still wanted to take the 1st platoon responsible for the broken back to withdraw safely, and Tang Cheng, who suddenly remembered Xie Bo's words, suddenly had a bold idea. The impression that the 1st Company now gave the Japanese army on the opposite side was that it was on the verge of collapse, and it was precisely because of this that the Japanese army would suddenly charge, and Tang Cheng also wanted to take advantage of the contempt of the Japanese army to complete his idea.

"You go, tell the bombardment team and those two platoons to come back quietly, and be ready to attack at any time." It was Huang Fei who was pointed out by Tang Cheng, although he didn't know why Tang Cheng gave such an order to Hu Xiada, but after Huang Fei received the hint from Heizi, he still ran to the second trench according to the order. "Fire, fire, don't stop shooting, I said, you have to shoot all the bullets out of the chamber." Tang Cheng picked up the rifle that had fallen into the trench and shouted as he pulled the bolt.

Tang Cheng, who was lying on his stomach in the firing position, was completely undisturbed by the bullets and shrapnel flying around him, and his shoulders were as tightly pressed against the butt as a rock, and he quickly pulled the bolt, shot, pulled the bolt, and shot. Dozens of meters away, the earthy yellow figures suddenly fell backwards. When the five bullets ran out, Tang Cheng crouched down slightly and quickly reloaded, and so on, firing five bullets, then five more rounds, until Tang Cheng could no longer touch the bullet bridge in the bullet pouch on his body.
