"Bang" "Bang" Liu Goat just opened his mouth and before he could speak, several flares suddenly exploded in mid-air, and the miserable white light of death suddenly sprinkled all over the defensive positions of the national army outside Guanghua Gate. It was the vigilant troops who discovered the movement of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army launched an attack, and launched an attack on Guanghuamen in the early hours of the morning when everyone was most sleepy. Tang Cheng, who was dazzled by the flare in mid-air, stared at the large piece of steel helmet that appeared in the distance, and his heart shrank into a ball, it was the Japanese army, and the large piece of steel helmet was actually a Japanese-style steel helmet.

"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! The Japanese army came up" Tang Cheng, who came back to his senses, grabbed the Mauser rifle on his shoulder in his hand, hunched over and ran to the nearest bunker to himself, and slapped all the soldiers he could touch, so that they all came back to their senses, the Japanese steel helmet was at most 200 meters away from them, and the Japanese machine guns and grenadiers could easily hit their bunker. When the two sides exchange fire, the most taboo is that the soldiers are stunned, and the distance of 200 meters can rush over in just half a minute, if everyone can't enter the defensive state immediately, the defense area held by the second company is afraid that it will be lost.

The veterans who stayed behind in the trenches had been prepared for a long time, and everyone was staring at the darkness in front of them, waiting for the Japanese soldiers to emerge from the darkness at any time. The reinforcements were still a little panicked, just imitating the movements of the veterans and looking ahead with their rifles, as for whether they were looking at the Japanese troops who might appear on the opposite side at any time, it is unknown. As Xie Chengrui told Liu Shanyang a few days ago, the 51st Division finally failed to hold Chunhua Town, and after the Japanese army broke through Chunhua Town, they marched along the road until they reached Guanghua Gate, and the second company, which had not been treated by the teaching team, was finally pulled into the line by Xie Chengrui.

Liu Shanyang used all his strength to select more than 20 defeated soldiers who could not find the original troops from the rout that fled into Nanjing to join the second company, and the second company, which originally had only 9 live people plus two wounded, was restored to 35 people, which was exactly the same number as when they left Shanghai at that time. Perhaps it was because Liu Goat's jumping up and down to pull troops was too conspicuous, or for some other reason, Liu Goat, who wanted to stay away from Xie Chengrui's sight, finally failed to succeed, and the second company returned to the front line of operations after a few days of rest, and was arranged to guard the flanks on the defensive line outside the city.

"Whew! The whistling sound of mortar shells breaking through the air suddenly sounded overhead, and the Japanese mortars began to shell the shells, and the veterans in the trenches listened attentively to the whistling of the shells. Experienced veterans can determine the location of the shells based on the different whistling sounds of the shells, and if they listen to the shells falling far away, they just huddle in the bunkers and look ahead, and if they listen to the location of the shells, these guys immediately turn back into some kind of quadruped with both hands and feet and run away, fleeing to other places to avoid the shelling.

"Boom! Bang! "The shells that landed exploded and exploded over the entire defensive position, and the smoke of gunpowder after the explosion quickly spread. Everyone's sight was covered by the smoke of gunpowder, but everyone did not dare to take it lightly, this is the usual trick of the Japanese attack, first hit a few rounds of shells, and then the Japanese infantry cluster that stepped on the explosion point to rush up, the Japanese artillery and infantry cooperated very tacitly, once they encountered unbearable resistance, the infantry on the charging line will immediately look for concealment or retreat in situ, and the artillery behind will be another round of shells to smash down, and then the infantry will attack again, few defensive lines can withstand the Japanese army's offensive mode and rhythm.

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and Tang Cheng saw with his own eyes that in the trench in front of him, two soldiers were blown up by the shells, and the flesh and gun fragments that rose and fell back to the ground with the smoke rising and fell, Tang Cheng's mouth was bitter, and his stomach was also twitching. Jiujin's arm was also injured, and a triangular piece of shrapnel was stuck in his left arm, "The wounded soldiers are lying on their stomachs, don't run around, and take you to the back as soon as the shelling stops" Li Fugui, who was carrying a first-aid kit, hid in a bunker behind and shouted loudly, the Japanese shelling was too dense, and Li Fugui, a fake military doctor who was forcibly pulled into the gang by Liu Goat with a meal, couldn't get to the front at all, so he had to tell the wounded soldiers to stay where they were and not move.

Now it is the third round of shelling, Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the bunker, silently counted the number of shellings of the Japanese army, and felt the extension of the Japanese artillery fire, Tang Cheng followed the appearance of Liu Goat and shook the covering soil on his body and shouted at the top of his voice, "Those who are not dead yet, and those who can still breathe are ready to prepare the grenades, and wait for the company commander's order to throw the grenades and pop them out, and press the bullets in your guns, and when it is not a last resort, you are not allowed to fight bayonets with the Japanese army" It's not that the people of the second company are afraid of death, and the soldiers are not allowed to fight bayonets with the Japanese army, That's because there are only 33 people in the second company who can fight, and after this round of shelling, I don't know how many people can survive.

The 38 rifles that Liu Shanyang wanted to return from the regiment headquarters were all issued to the new soldiers, and the veterans of the second company still had two guns, one long and one short, with 150 Mauser rifle rounds and 60 friendly Mauser pistol rounds per person, and this kind of ammunition carrying capacity could also be ranked in the front in the second regiment. The rout soldiers who were forcibly pulled into the gang by Liu Goat were equipped with Japanese-style 38 rifles, and each person was issued 70 rounds of ammunition, no matter how good the 38 rifle was compared to the Mauser rifle, the 2nd Company could now ensure that all soldiers had rifles and bullets.

"Grenade, throw grenade" Looking at the oncoming Japanese soldiers, Liu Goat silently calculated the distance between the two sides, until the Japanese army's forward advanced to a distance of 30 meters from the position, Liu Goat shouted and took the lead in throwing the grenade in his hand. The second company consumed a large number of grenades at the crossing position, but the captured machine guns were exchanged for two boxes, plus those captured Japanese grenades, each of the soldiers of the second company was able to spread 6 grenades and 2 Japanese grenades.

The soldiers who had been waiting for Liu Shanyang's order for a long time also threw out their grenades when they saw the company commander make a move, and more than 30 grenades flew straight towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers through the night. The grenades that fell into the advance of the Japanese army exploded, and the equipment issued by the troops of the teaching regiment was all imitation of German-style ordnance, and the grenades were all long-handled, and this kind of wooden long-handled grenade could be thrown very far, Liu Goat himself threw a distance of 50 meters when the 88th Division was training, and veterans like Qiu Jiangong and others could throw it at a distance of thirty or forty meters casually.

"Grenade" watched the first round of grenades burst open, Liu Goat shouted, and another grenade flew towards the Japanese army. Liu Goat's abacus is good, the Japanese strikers generally come to find the firepower on the defensive position, Liu Goat does not know how to do the positions of other companies and platoons, no one has fired in his position so far, just threw two rounds of grenades, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side have no way to find his firepower arrangement, waiting for the Japanese army to spy or attack again, the machine gun of the second company can definitely leave a deep impression on the Japanese army.

After throwing 2 grenades in a row, Tang Cheng picked up his Mauser rifle and aimed at the front like everyone else, the flares hanging in the air had already disappeared, and the explosions and fiery red ballistics that appeared from time to time in the darkness always made the eyes in a trance, coupled with the obstruction of gunpowder smoke and dust in front of the position, it was impossible to see the enemy clearly. The reason why Tang Cheng and the others were aiming forward with their guns was completely chasing the guns of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. In fact, except for the defensive position of the second company, the other positions had already become a pot of porridge with the attacking Japanese troops, and only the soldiers of the second company were lying in the bunker with bated breath, still waiting for the company commander Liu Goat's shooting order.

"Bang Bang Bang" A few more flares were shot into the air, and the moment the miserable white light appeared, Tang Cheng's heart tightened suddenly, and only 20 meters in front of their platoon position, a large piece of Japanese steel helmets under black pressure was pouring over. "Fire, fire" The screaming Liu goat has already pulled the trigger, it is too late to throw the grenade at such a close distance, the best suppression method is to shoot first, only after repelling the first ** attack of the Japanese army to repel them, the defenders have time to throw the grenade, only after the flare disappears, the grenade can play a greater lethality.

The only Czech-style "da-da" in the platoon played a short point, and the soldiers lying on the ground also pulled the trigger one after another, and veterans like Qiu Jiangong shot very fast, and there was no need to aim at a distance of 20 meters, and even Tang Cheng had already fired a third shot. The sudden burst of gunfire on the position of the second company, which had been silent, made the Japanese troops on the opposite side suffer a big loss, only two rounds of gun shooting, the Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded more than 20, and the Japanese troops exposed to the flare quickly retreated after being blocked.

"Hidden, hidden, Japanese artillery bombardment" Seeing that the Japanese tentative attack had ended, several veterans of the second company kicked and beat those reinforcements, making them all huddle behind cover to protect their bodies. The veterans of the Second Company who had fought with the Japanese army all knew the tactics of the Japanese army, and the artillery bombardment was followed by the infantry charge, and after the infantry was attacked, it was then the artillery bombardment. Qiu Jiangong often said that the Japanese army without artillery cover was a group of cowards, but Tang Cheng never thought so, the Japanese army's infantry artillery was used very well with tactics, and the Japanese army could not be allowed to abandon the artillery support and rush up to meet them all in a short fight, unless the commander of the Japanese army became a fool.

"Hide well, be careful of the Japanese shelling, hurry up and check your rifles, and make sure that your chambers are full of bullets and can fire at any time." The veterans of the second company kept moving in the trenches, whispering to the supplementary soldiers who were pulled into the second company by Liu Goat, few of these guys had the experience of fighting head-on with the Japanese army, and these needed to be reminded by the veterans of the second company one by one.
