The night was as dark as if ink had been poured everywhere.
It started to rain, and the rain washed away everything in the world...
From time to time, a bright bolt of lightning tore through the darkness, and for a moment, the sky and the earth seemed like day again.
"We can't just stay here, or we'll be struck to death by lightning if we're not beaten to death by the Japanese!"
Xiang Wenbin said to Ma Xiaoguang in the field command post where rain was leaking everywhere.
Ma Xiaoguang's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you take advantage of the rain to trick the Japanese?"
Just do what he said, Xiang Wenbin immediately gathered the elite of the original guards in the regiment and formed a commando team.
As agents, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty naturally joined the commando team.
The leader of the team was still Wang Daming, but at this time he had been promoted to company commander - the original company commander had died for his country, so he, the platoon leader, could only be promoted.
Promotion during wartime, like sacrifice, also comes at a moment's notice.
In the face of life and death, the officers and soldiers had no interest in promotion and only hoped to end the battle as soon as possible.
This time, a company of soldiers was responsible for the assault.
The weapons of these soldiers are better than those of ordinary soldiers of the Sichuan Army. This time Commander Fan still obtained some weapons through the Bashu Chamber of Commerce.
The elite 804th Regiment also received some.
Therefore, the brothers in this company are equipped with a twenty-shot shell gun, and of course the large blades that are indispensable to the Sichuan army.
This is a good weapon in close combat.
Under the cover of darkness and heavy rain, a hundred or so people quietly moved toward the Neon Army's position.
No one spoke along the way, only the sound of thunder and rain could be heard.
Qiaotingzhai and Dunwu Temple are surrounded by cotton fields. After the heavy rain, everything is muddy. Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty have to work hard every time they take a step forward.
In contrast, the brothers of the Sichuan Army walked more briskly.
Everyone just walked slowly in the mud towards the Neon Army's position.
Sometimes after lightning passes, we still have to crawl forward...
When they were thirty meters away from the opponent's position, everyone turned into clay figures without exception.
"Click"
A bolt of lightning split open the dark night, illuminating the neon army's position opposite.
"boom"
Then a huge thunder exploded above everyone's heads.
Taking advantage of the light of lightning, Ma Xiaoguang saw soldiers on the opposite Neon Army position loading sandbags into the trenches.
Several of the sandbags are built like small bunkers, and they are constantly being raised and reinforced.
"This is the enemy's machine gun position."
Ma Xiaoguang whispered to Company Commander Wang.
"Brothers, get ready, use grenades to kill him first."
Captain Wang nodded and quickly gave orders to the brothers in a deep voice.
Everyone took out the grenades in the oilcloth bag, unscrewed the cover, and pulled out the fuse.
"Listen to my order and prepare to...throw!"
Company Commander Wang ordered in a deep voice, and before he finished speaking, the grenade in his hand flew out with sparks...
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Explosions one after another suddenly rang out in front of the Neon Army's position.
"Da da da"
"Boom" "Boom"
On both wings of the Neon Army's position, volleys of gunshots also rang out at this time - this was the main force of the 804th Regiment taking advantage of this wave of raids by the commandos to start a charge.
Captain Wang rushed to his brothers and ordered: "Brothers, rush and grab the gunpowder from Turtle Son!"
At the command, the Sichuan Army brothers jumped up from the mud and rushed towards the Neon Army position.
As soon as everyone stood up, they heard a crisp "pop" sound.
A brother next to Company Commander Wang fell on the charging road without warning.
"Kill death while sleeping, everyone rise up!"
Wang Daming showed no fear and shouted to his brothers.
No one in the commando team stopped, they all opened up the skirmish line and rushed toward the Neon Army trenches.
Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty also took turns covering the situation and got close to the Neon Army machine gun position they had just seen.
At this time, the rain gradually stopped.
"Bang" "Bang"
After two muffled sounds, flares lit up in the sky, and suddenly the position looked like daylight.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
Taking advantage of the light of the flares, the Type 92 machine gun on the Neon Army's position emitted a unique strange scream.
"Kick-kick"
"Pa" "Pa"...
Then the neon army's crooked light machine guns and 38-type rifles formed a crossfire and began to pour into the charging Sichuan army.
Ma Xiaoguang looked behind him and saw countless Sichuan army brothers falling on the charging road with their guns raised!
Despite this, the Sichuan army still ignored it and changed its route and rushed forward despite the hail of bullets.
Those in front fall down, and those behind come up.
Those in front fell one after another, but the surviving soldiers still rushed forward.
"Fat man, cover me!"
Ma Xiaoguang's eyes were about to burst and he yelled at the fat man.
The fat man got the order and quickly picked up twenty bangers, "Bang, bang, bang, bang..." and output them in a burst.
The two Sichuan Army commando brothers next to him also threw their own grenades.
"Boom" "Boom"
Taking advantage of the cover of this wave of firepower and grenade explosions, Ma Xiaoguang sprinted and jumped in front of the Neon Army's machine gun position.
"Crack"
The sword flashed and the machine gunner was immediately wiped out.
Taking this opportunity, the rest of the commandos also swarmed up and poured into the Neon Army's machine gun position.
There was a sudden sound of killing on the battlefield.
A machine gun position was captured, and the firepower of the Neon Army suddenly weakened a lot. The Sichuan Army brothers charging behind began to rush forward.
In an instant, the battlefield entered a brutal hand-to-hand combat mode again...
The battle lasted for nearly an hour. In the end, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty were so tired that they sat down on the dirt.
"Ge Laozi, this time I have exchanged a shotgun with a cannon."
Commander Xiang looked at the Neon Army weapons captured on the battlefield and nodded.
"The Japanese were caught off guard this time. I'm afraid they will counterattack after dawn..."
Ma Xiaoguang took a long puff of cigarette and said to the group leader.
"It's okay. The brigade commander told me when we came here that the 803rd Regiment would come to change defenses after dawn."
Xiang leader wiped the blood on his face, took the Hardman from Ma Xiaoguang's hand unceremoniously and said.
After hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty felt a little relieved - they were not fighting alone now.
At dawn.
The people from the brigade did come, but there was only one messenger.
"Order to the regiment commander and brigade commander, the fighting is stalemate along the south bank of Yunzaobang... The 803rd regiment cannot change defenses, order your troops to stand firm and wait for reinforcements!"
After the ordering soldier saluted, he took out the brigade headquarters' military order from his satchel while reporting verbally.
As soon as these words came out, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty's hearts sank.
"boom!"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, an explosion sounded not far away.
There was also the "buzzing" sound of airplanes in the air.
"Oh my god! The Japanese turtles are here with Banban. You go and reply to the brigade commander. He is at the position!"
Xiang Commander gritted his teeth and yelled at the ordering soldier.
As he spoke, the sharp whistling of artillery shells and the piercing scream of aerial bombs rang in his ears.
"Boom boom boom"
"Boom"
After the overwhelming explosion, the position of the 804th Regiment suddenly burst into flames.
