…
Zhang Xiaoliu was crawling behind the slope where trenches were piled up, looking around at the trench fortifications dug by Ye Anran's troops.
The trench runs through the left and right sides and the rear, forming a U-shape.
The trench is 1.5 meters wide and can accommodate a stretcher or ensure unobstructed flow of logistics troops without affecting the battle.
Light and heavy machine guns are deployed on the left and right sides of the front, and mortar positions are deployed in the rear.
It can not only ensure the fire support of the troops, but also ensure the survival rate of the artillery.
Zhang Xiaoliu swallowed.
Now, he is not so anxious and talks with Commander Ye Anran about the retreat.
He couldn't fight it from the beginning, but now he really wants to try it.
Qi Ning and Xu Fu returned from inspecting the trench fortifications.
The two of them bent over, and when they passed Zhang Xiaoliu, Qi Ning and Xu Fu looked up.
The two of them were stunned.
They looked at Zhang Xiaoliu who was crawling on the trench and the Northeastern Army on his left and right, and couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Isn't this courting death?
Qi Ning and Xu Fu tacitly grasped Zhang Xiaoliu's left and right arms and dragged him directly into the trench.
Zhang Xiaoliu was about to speak.
Qi Ning: "What are you doing? Don't want to live anymore? Get the hell out of here!"
…
The Northeastern Army who was crawling on the trench quickly climbed into the trench.
The originally loose trench suddenly seemed a little crowded.
Zhang Xiaoliu was very embarrassed.
After all, he is a general.
How could you be treated like this? ?
Boom~
A shell exploded above the trench.
The Northeastern Army who had just entered the trench squatted down nervously.
The Japanese tanks stationed in front of the city gate discovered the movement from the trenches ahead.
After one shell exploded, several more shells fell around the trench.
Due to time constraints, the Marine Corps and the Second Independent Brigade only dug combat trenches and communication trenches, not cat-ear holes.
The Japanese's intensive fire coverage caused great trouble to the Second Independent Brigade and the Marine Corps.
Zhang Xiaoliu squatted in the trench, and the debris from the explosion flew all over him.
He looked at Xu Fu very worriedly.
"Japanese reinforcements have arrived."
"This situation cannot be won."
"Why don't you withdraw?"
Before the bombardment started, Zhang Xiaoliu felt that the civil excavation project in front of him was very shocking.
It wasn't until the Japanese started shelling that Zhang Xiaoliu's firm belief suddenly wavered.
Qi Ning looked fearless.
In the trench not far from him, the explosion filled the trench.
The soldiers stationed in the trenches were buried directly in the shell craters.
Two health workers dug into the scorched earth covering the soldiers' bodies with their hands. They wanted to confirm the condition of the wounded and see them, whether they were alive or dead.
He Qin squatted aside.
He looked at the hygienist who was half-kneeling on the ground, feeling a little ashamed.
Their arrival shocked the alert Japanese soldiers.
Qi Ning looked at Zhang Xiaoliu.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If you want to withdraw, withdraw quickly."
"Don't die here anytime soon."
…
Xu Fu, commander of the Second Infantry Division, froze.
To know.
The 75th Army was the army under the original command of Zhang Xiaoliu.
During his days as chairman of the Peking Military Commission, he could mobilize all military forces in North China.
As the leader of a division, Xu Fu did not dare to confront Zhang Xiaoliu like this.
Ye Anran's troops were truly incredible.
Zhang Xiaoliu frowned, "What a shame, you're still in high spirits, right? Call your commander Ye Anran and ask him to come and talk to me."
Wen Wen was trapped, and Zhang Xiaoliu was filled with anger.
One is because Jiang is in Hongdu.
The second reason is because of Ye Anran.
Even at this moment, I saw Ye Anran's troops entering the front line of Wen Wen Province.
There was still no way to dissipate his anger.
Qi Ning smiled "haha" and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm very poor and don't have a phone."
…
Zhang Xiaoliu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
The phone is obviously next to Qining.
He pointed at the phone, "What's going on with your soldier??"
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
…
Qining picked up the engineering shovel stuck in the ground, and then cut the phone line with the shovel.
"Not this time."
Zhang Xiaoliu was stunned.
In the Northeast, and even among the Chinese people, this person was the first person who refused to give him Zhang Xiaoliu face.
Sudden.
The scout bent down and hurried to Zhang Xiaoliu, "Brigade Commander, the Japanese have begun to attack."
“…”
Qi Ning immediately drew his gun. He walked to the trench and lay down and looked in front of Feng Ning. More than a dozen Japanese Renault tanks were spread out in a straight line and headed straight towards them.
Behind the tanks, infantry was clearly visible in an offensive formation, following closely behind the tanks.
In order not to leave a shooting window for the Northeastern Army hiding in the trenches, the Japanese infantry even only followed the tanks, advancing forward in a row of four.
Zhang Xiaoliu and He Qin felt their hearts beat faster when they saw this scene.
If an attack were to come, no matter how well the trench fortifications were repaired, it would be of no avail.
Zhang Xiaoliu frowned and said, "If we don't order a retreat, it will be too late."
Next to Zhang Xiaoliu, Xu Fu sighed lightly, "It's too late."
The Japs are within the range of the Northeast Army, and the Northeast Army is also within the range of the Japs.
If you run away, more people will die.
Qining is very calm.
He is the old man who followed Ye Anran through Hecheng.
He has a lot of valuable experience in military deployment and combat essentials.
"Send the Jaap coordinates to the artillery brigade and ask Yang Zhihua to move towards the front of our position and provide fire coverage."
"Order the commuter soldiers to concentrate all the grenades. The Japanese tanks are about fifty meters away from us, and all the frontline personnel will throw them out."
"Order all troops to prepare for battle and fire back immediately as soon as there is a shooting window!"
"yes!"
"..."
Qining issued several orders in succession.
The troops ignored the Northeastern Army who had just jumped into the trench.
They quickly set up light and heavy machine guns on the trench slopes.
On the slope of the trench at the front of their battle were two guns.
A butter submachine gun.
A rifle.
Zhang Xiaoliu commanded the troops to deploy firepower points in the vacant trench positions.
No one listened to his orders, so Zhang Xiaoliu could only order his troops.
The Japanese tanks kept firing at the trenches as they marched.
Many soldiers lying in the trench firing positions died under the Japanese shelling and were seriously injured.
Until the Japanese advanced one hundred meters.
None of the artillery brigades began their bombardment.
Qining called the signal corps to inquire about the situation.
If we don't knock out the enemy's tanks, they will definitely suffer massive casualties if they start fighting later.
The signal trooper confirmed again.
He quickly ran to Qining and said, "Report."
"News came from the artillery brigade that the enemy's key targets are too close to our forward positions, and the artillery bombardment is prone to major errors, so the artillery bombardment is refused."
…
Qi Ning's face turned dark suddenly, "What does Yang Zhihua do for food!?"
"Tell him, if the shelling hits my forward position, even if I die under his shells, I won't blame him."
"If he doesn't knock out the Japanese tanks for me and tell his artillery to wait behind, and if I don't beat him up, my surname will not be Qi!!"
: I walked 20,000 steps today and I am exhausted. I still have one chapter left and I am writing furiously. It is too painful to type on my mobile phone.
