    After the Japanese got up, the front line was naturally rumbling with artillery fire again. Various people on the second line where the supplementary regiment was located had various thoughts, but there were fewer people talking, and more people thinking about things and smoking.

    At noon, the supplementary regiment finally received the order, and half the company's supplementary troops were to go to the front line.  Jin Batian happened to be in this sequence.

    After crossing the Killing Pass, the position of the third regiment was in a fortification in front.  This is the circular position that the Third Regiment transformed into after taking over the defense from the Jinsui Army.  When Jin Batian and others entered the circular trench, both sides were eating. No one would shoot at this time, because if you don't let me eat well, I won't let you eat well either.  Here the Japanese artillery has no advantage over the First Regiment (General Regiment) and Third Regiment of the Tax Police Corps.  Usually the Japanese fire one shot, and here they fire two shots in retaliation.

    The artillerymen of the Tax Police Corps also hid part of their strength and kept beating the Japanese with grenades.  The 105 howitzer equipped by the Artillery Corps of the Tax Police has three kinds of shells. The lightest is the armor-piercing shell, which is only about 16 kilograms. Considering that the Japanese do not have such thickly armored tanks, this kind of shell is produced in the least amount.

    Secondly, the grenade weighs about 22 kilograms and is multi-purpose. This type of ammunition has the most hits.  Of course, the most enjoyable way to fight Japanese infantry is the double shrapnel. This is a shell that explodes over the infantry and intensively kills the infantry with steel balls and other objects. It weighs 32 kilograms and is filled with gunpowder and steel balls. Of course  The double shrapnel range is also the shortest among the three types of shells.  If the enemy formation is dense enough and a double shot of shrapnel hits the target, a small team will probably be gone.  From yesterday to noon, the little devils only carried out tentative attacks, so this big killer weapon was not used.

    Jin Batian and Hu Zi were assigned to the same class.  The squad leader casually looked at the two newcomers: "Oh, there is also a sharpshooter. Our class has two sharpshooters. Xiao Linzi, you take this sharpshooter, and Erzhu, you take one."

    Xiao Linzi was beaten a thousand times with a "cha" sound, and was kicked by the squad leader before he came over.  The two of them had a bit of a fight, which took away the atmosphere of attrition in the team.

    Xiao Linzi pointed to Jin Batian in the bomb-proof cave: "Just put your things there. Don't panic if a kid comes rushing towards you, just let him know and shoot him. Only the kid is afraid of our tax police headquarters, we  The tax police headquarters are not afraid of little devils. By the way, now you are a member of the third and fifth squads. Remember."

    Jin Batian saw an opportunity and came out to pretend to let go. He contacted his artillery camp and found that the radio was open.  Then I felt relieved and went back to eat canned food.  The logistics here are incomparable to those in Peiping, and there is nothing we can do in terms of food. It is said that the cooking team at the back is making dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables and mutton, which may not be available until evening.

    As a sharpshooter, he still has a special task compared to ordinary soldiers, which is to use a quadruple scope to patrol in turns and act as an observation post.  Look at what time the little Japs came up. Compared with the Tigers who came at the same time, they could only walk with their heads down in the bomb holes or trenches. In order to prevent the Japs from knowing how many troops there were, they were strictly ordered not to show their heads.

    "The Japs are coming up." When Jin Batian spoke, almost several observation posts spoke.  The company commanders of each unit came out of the gun holes with binoculars in hand.

    The commander of the third company looked at it and said: "About 800 meters. Be careful of Japanese shelling. Call the regiment headquarters and prepare for shelling."

    The position here is a large circular position, and the third company is located on the left wing of this position.  Originally, the two wings were supposed to be in relatively safe positions, but the little devil liked to break through from the wing. On this day, almost all the little devil's attacks and shells hit the left wing.

    The third company commander¡¯s judgment was correct. When the Japanese entered a position about 600 meters away, the artillery battle between the two sides began.  During this day, the little devil also thought of many ways. For example, the range of the artillery was not as good as the opponent's, so he took advantage of the lightness of the 92 Infantry Cannon and fired one shot at another place.  Although the speed of artillery fire has obviously slowed down, the losses suffered by the fixed artillery positions are much smaller. For a time, the two sides were evenly matched in the artillery battle. About two squadrons of the little Japanese infantry also successfully advanced to a position of two to three hundred meters.  .  At this time, in order to avoid accidental damage, the artillery on both sides stopped shelling the enemy positions and switched to direct fire.

    The military observers installed by Polar Bear in the Japanese troops sneered at this approach. The opponent's artillery has more artillery than you, has a longer range, and has a larger caliber than you. You should mobilize more artillery from the rear, with a longer range and a larger caliber.  Shoot against them.  This kind of practice of changing places after one attack is obviously a waste of food due to choking.

    How did they know that the Japanese did not have so much steel to make cannons? According to the Japanese army, the navy is our enemy, and in order to insist on localization, they would rather use the grass of the 92 infantry cannon than the seedlings of the Krupp cannon.  It is said that when the 92 infantry gun appeared, it was still a decent small-caliber infantry support artillery.

    As soon as the sound of artillery stopped at the position, the company and platoon commanders shouted: "Enter the combat position. Enter the combat position."

      Jin Batian entered the fighting position again. The barbed wire in front of the position was already in a messy state. At this time, it was too late to think too much. Jin Batian picked up the rifle and searched for Japanese soldiers in the scope until he aimed at a Japanese soldier's thigh¡ª¡ª  It is still difficult for the little devil to bend down and aim at the head or chest and abdomen.  The company commander didn't keep him waiting for long. After most of the people entered the fighting position, the company commander shouted: "Fight."

    Jin Batian adjusted his breathing and tried not to be affected by the gunshots around him. He gently pulled the trigger and "pop" a cloud of blood splashed on the left arm outside the little Japs left leg in the scope, and his hand dropped.  The little devil was in pain and lay on the ground holding his hands.

    Jin Batian analyzed it and found that if he aimed at the left side of the center, the wind direction would have a big impact.  Because the weeds covered the ground, the little devil Jin Batian couldn't find the target.  However, a little Jaap wearing a red cross armband ran over and squatted there to treat the wounded.

    When Jin Batian saw Lie Xinxi, he aimed at the right side of the little devil's chest and shot him.  The bullet passed through the little devil's shoulder blade, and the kinetic energy of the bullet pushed him to the ground.

    Seeing that Yamaguchi, who was bandaging himself, was injured and fell to the ground, Miura shouted: "Yamaguchi-kun, Yamaguchi-kun."

    Seeing that Yamaguchi-kun did not respond, Miura grabbed the grass roots with one hand and climbed to Yamaguchi-kun, pushed the unconscious military doctor Yamaguchi and said: "Cheer up, Yamaguchi-kun. Yamaguchi-kun."

    Seeing that Yamaguchi was still awake, Miura tied his left arm tightly with his right hand, teeth and the bandage on the ground.  Miura dug out Yamaguchi's medical box, took out styptic powder and poured it on Yamaguchi's wound. He used alcohol cotton and a bandage to block Yamaguchi's bleeding wound.

    These actions almost exhausted the last strength of Miura, who also lost a lot of blood.  After doing all this, Miura fell down next to Yamaguchi and rested quietly, thinking about what happened to the two of them when they were children.  The two of them came from the same village. Miura's family was poorer and could only attend the almost free military school preschool. Yamaguchi's family was descended from the nearby Yamaguchi family, so Yamaguchi was lucky enough to study in a better school.  Finally, I even went to college, doing medicine at Dongda University.  The conscription order brought two friends who had not seen each other for almost ten years back together.

    It¡¯s just that at this time, Miura is a sergeant and Yamaguchi is a second lieutenant medic.  But the identity has changed, but the friendship between the two people has not changed.  Seeing Miura injured, the first one to run over was Yamaguchi.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Yamaguchi woke up looking increasingly worse.  Yamaguchi saw his wound that was still bleeding and said, "Some idiot did this to me."

    Miura smiled sadly at his side: "Of course it's me, Red Deer, otherwise who else could it be."

    Yamaguchi said: "It seems my time is coming. How are you?"

    Miura said: "The bleeding has stopped. But I'm afraid this arm can't be saved."

    Yamaguchi looked at the sky and said: "How lucky I am to be able to escape from this nasty war by losing an arm. I only escaped from this war by losing my life."

    Miura said unhappily: "This is a holy war, don't talk nonsense."

    Yamaguchi smiled sadly: "What I didn't dare to say when I was alive, I dare not say before I die. Hey, Miura Red Deer, promise me one last thing."

    Miura said: "Tell me. Which woman do you have trouble letting go of? I will help you take care of her."

    Yamaguchi said: "No such thing. I just want you to take my ashes home. My mother, my mother misses me"

    "I would have done this even if you didn't tell her. I would have told her that you passed away peacefully and without pain."

    Yamaguchi said intermittently: "Thank you thank you in my cabinet I have two cigarettes and two bottles of sake. I originally wanted to celebrate when I returned to my country  . Now I leave it to you to celebrate. I guess I am no longer needed."

    "Hey, Hundan. You kid used your status as a military medical officer to hide so many things behind my back. Do you want me to be mad at you? Hey, hey." But Miura could no longer hear Yamaguchi's voice.
