Chapter 156: Watching (Part 1)

"Where is the regiment commander? Where are your regiment commanders?" In the night, there was still a layer of white snow powder on his head and his shoulders. It was obvious that he was coming from behind. Several soldiers on the position who were huddled under the trench walls resting and were blackened by the fire of war looked at him. Suddenly, he pulled the bolt and pointed at the visitor with a "kill" and shouted coldly: "Command!"

"No! Don't... his mother's reaction was slower. If I wanted to kill you, I would have become a dead person... I don't know your command. I know that your regiment commander is Li Tianhao. I came from Chu County and inform him of any important situation. Take me there..." The visitor raised his hands: "... He is worthy of being a soldier brought out by Da Li. He has been decent in just a few days..."

When the soldiers heard this man's tone seemed to be very familiar with Captain Li, they did not dare to act rashly, so they took him to the regiment headquarters: "Brother, I offended you. Before proving my identity, this gun cannot leave your heart. Please don't be surprised, don't move... By the way, your surname is your brother?"

"It's not expensive. When you see your leader saying "Airodor" is here, he will understand..."

"A alcoholic? A 'alderer' who doesn't drink?... Oh, offends, it turns out that it is the 'King of Hell'! The regiment commander has told us about you, and Chief Cao. He often says that you have cut off a room of Japanese devils' cocks overnight, so he can relieve his hatred!" Several soldiers were excited when they heard that someone came to report a large number, and quickly moved the gun away...

"Hey, I said you, if I were a spy in the Japanese, wouldn't you make money? You'd better point the gun at me. If you don't see your regiment commander, you will be scolded..." The soldiers thought it was good to say "drunk". They quickly raised their guns again, but the atmosphere was no longer nervous at all.

"What? Chuxian abandoned the guard?!" Li Tianhao heard the "drunk" who came to report the news and almost jumped up: "Didn't he call me again and again at noon and let us nail the whole pepper in half a step to retreat? Why did Chuxian retreat first? We want us to be cannon fodder again?!"

After a few days of bloody battle in Nanjing, Li Tianhao was stunned by the enemy's artillery fire and was carried by the remaining troops to the last group of people from the Central Teaching Corps to cross the river. Because there were bloody battles in Jiangbei, the scattered soldiers from various units were temporarily organized into supplementary troops and sent to the line of fire. Li Tianhao was already famous and had great military achievements, so he was immediately promoted to the regiment commander and brought three temporary battalions to Quanjiao to fight.

Just at noon this day, Li Tianhao, who had just taken over as the supreme commander of Quanjiao's defense line, received an order to fight to the death in Quanjiao, but unexpectedly, he saw the "drunk" in the evening and learned that Chuxian had abandoned him!

"Thank you brothers for coming to inform you..." Li Tianhao was silent for a moment and looked up, "But as a Kuomintang soldier, I, Li Tianhao, must not be ordered to fight to the death without orders to withdraw the troops!... There must be someone who only knows how to retreat. One day the Chinese people will not have a cone of land to gain a foothold! Brother, thank you for your kindness, Tianhao decided to fight to the end!... The day when I walked into Sihang Cang in the concession, there was no Li Tianhao who retreated without authorization in this world!"

The "drunk" had a strange smile on his face: "I knew that Da Li was a genius; let alone there was no order to ask you to withdraw your troops, even if Da Li ordered him to come down tomorrow at noon, would he dare to hold on to his death, right?"

Li Tianhao was stunned: What's going on? There's something in his words!

"One of the three commanders who came back from the river was named Liao Yaoxiang. He knew that I was one of the Nine Hell Kings on the Songhu battlefield, so he told me something. He had fought and cooperated with you in Nanjing City. You led the Japanese into the narrow road. His tank suddenly rushed out and killed all the Japanese. He looked down on you very much and said that you were the only one who dared to defend..." The "drunk" closed his smile: "He also told me that most of the brothers who crossed the river were on the road, with more than two thousand people; one by one was wet and killed back against the cold and hunger, and killed back to Quanjiao... Brother, you have to support him, battalion commander, "Call Zi", "Changqing" almost all the old brothers were on the way back!..."

There is nothing to say! Guard, defend, and stay away! Li Tianhao didn't say anything anymore, picked up his helmet and picked up his gun and ran out of the command center, because the earth began to shake again, and the pale flares began to bloom in the sky above the position again, and the Japanese began to attack again.

Because of Cao Xiaomin's appearance, the originally defeated Nanjing defense battle became a classic bloody battle that attracted worldwide attention. The Japanese army invested more than 150,000 troops on the Nanjing battlefield, far exceeding the original time and space. The battles outside Nanjing also escalated. It turned out that only thousands of Japanese soldiers were advancing north in time and space, but now the Japanese soldiers in front of Li Tianhao alone have exceeded one unit!

The day before, it was raining and snowing all day, but the position was still black, and there was no trace of white snow. The snow water melted by artillery fire mixed with the blood of the soldiers and seeped into the soil. The trenches were muddy. Every shell explosion would storm the scorching mud in all directions, and every soldier in the trench seemed to be fished out of the mud. Under the shrapnel flying all over the position, a small group of soldiers stumbled into the main position, panting from the traffic trench as soon as the squad leader came in, he took the kettle handed over by his brothers and poured the water into his mouth and "sprayed" all of them: "Damn it, I poured a large mouthful of mud and sand, and I don't know if I had eaten the 'material'..."

"What are you afraid of? That's something that's poisonous. If you eat it, you can still come back alive?" Li Tianhao spat at him and continued, "Don't die, you kid, you owe me a box of cigarettes..."

The squad leader cried and said, "Captain, this mission must be reduced at least... the mechanism has been arranged!"

There was not so much time to torch cigarettes, and the Japanese occupied the first trench and began to advance into depth...

Because the Kuomintang army did not have many tools to build fortifications, the defenders in the previous hand only built three shallow trenches on the position. Li Tianhao found that this was not possible as soon as he took over. He quickly adjusted the field fortifications and used the large pits bombed by the Japanese heavy artillery as the main body of the firepower point, and the general shallow trenches were transformed into connected traffic trenches. The main positions were all equipped with auxiliary facilities that Cao Xiaomin shot in Wangting, such as the blocking method of traffic trenches, and arranged poison nails on the anti-wall walls of the front trenches. This night, he used new tactics for the first time to deliberately lure the Japanese to occupy the front trench to kill. In order not to let the poison nails be destroyed by the artillery fire, he placed the time of the arrangement until the enemy's artillery fire was extended. As a result, the soldiers responsible for the arrangement of the organs were almost chased by the Japanese and rushed back to the main position.

The bullets flew into the second trench, smashing the outer edge of the trench into dust and dust. A gray chest wall rose up along the trench of the Kuomintang army in the night! The soldiers in the trench disappeared without the rookies who hurriedly stretched their heads out to see and even exposed half of their bodies to fight back. They all hid in fortifications and leaned against the trench walls waiting for orders - there were no veterans who could not fight! After the cruelest elimination of the war, the temporary group composed of multiple scattered soldiers can actually be said to be the elite of the Kuomintang army, except for their poor equipment.

"Tengteng! Tengteng!" Suddenly, the deep gunshots of the civilians 24 were heard from the distant positions. The Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out of the trenches were defeated by these attacks launched from the side.

"Fire!" In the trenches, the company commanders and squad leaders at firepower points at various places, the hoarse shouts of the company commanders and squad leaders rang all over the positions for a moment. The soldiers who were huddling in the trenches opened their rifles when they heard their heavy machine guns fired, and then stood up and opened fire together when they heard the commander's order. They were like in Wangting, hiding behind the earthen buns at the top of the trench and fired to the side!

If Cao Xiaomin saw this scene, he would definitely be moved. The conventional defensive tactics he had worked hard to finally bear fruit among the Kuomintang army; in addition to the 74th Army, another force systematically uses new position arrangements and fighting styles!

The angle of firepower gathering has narrowed, and the fire density has been increased in disguise; the distance of firing has been extended, but the shooting hit rate of combat machine guns or rifle volleyballs on the measured positions will not decrease at all, and the opponent's frontal firepower cannot play a role; the Japanese have suffered all the hardships of the Kuomintang army in two consecutive days of battle. They found that after the cannon strike, the firepower point of the Chinese Democratic Party's position has been significantly higher than before. They found that every time they charge, they were hit by precision when they stepped out of the trenches. They found that it was difficult to find the Kuomintang soldiers who fired at them when they charge, but the bullets would continue to hit them...

Most of the soldiers only fired two or three bullets, and the Japanese attack was repelled. After losing all the bodies in the ground, they all took them back into the occupied trench and shot against the Kuomintang army. The soldiers of the Kuomintang army were also different from before. In the past, they often hid and stopped playing at this time; but now they are still shooting at a trench.

The heavy machine gun positions were arranged in the back row for the Japanese to attack unexpectedly. The soldiers did not care that the sleeves were already hot, and they were carrying the machine guns, bullets and other supporting components to fly. The last soldier who left opened the water bottle covered with a quilt and poured the hot water on three tiles in succession. The steam rose immediately, just like a water-cooled machine gun changing water. The position behind them was not deep enough, and they still needed the heavy artillery of the Japanese to help them deeply cultivate! Before all the soldiers ran into the traffic trench, the Japanese grenade launcher had already been fired, and the white smoke in the night spread rapidly and covered the entire machine gun position.

Of course, the Japanese who were amused and refused to show weakness. Except for the heavy artillery in the rear, they began to attack the machine gun positions exposed by the Kuomintang army, the soldiers on the frontier lay on the trenches and fought back. The spikes that had been harshly harshed through their cotton coats and pierced blood...
