Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

"Report to the commander, this is a telegram forwarded from headquarters."

When Xu Chenglong heard the telegram from the headquarters, he quickly stood up and wiped his mouth. Now they had to light a temporary fire to cook on the position. Because the situation was urgent, they steamed a large pot of white rice and poured canned broth on it. The brothers ate it with great relish. The conditions were a bit tough!

The reminder from headquarters is very simple. Tonight will be a fierce battle. Because it is night, planes cannot come to support. Our army is already advancing at a rapid speed, so you can only rely on yourselves tonight.

"Tell the company commanders of each battalion that no one can retreat a single step tonight. The enemy has many troops behind them. If they seize the river mouth, it will be like opening the gate. The Rakshasa troops will rush in continuously, causing our offensive plan to change drastically."

Xu Chenglong understood the Russian side's idea very well, which was to seize the initiative on the battlefield. We all attacked northward from Saynshand, and the most capable First Brigade had already set out. If we change it now, it would be too passive for us.

As long as we can hold on for one night, according to our army's mobility, someone will definitely come to help tomorrow morning, so as long as we hold this place, the Rakshasa's battle plan will fail.

The security regiment does not have tanks, but it still has a lot of heavy armored vehicles. At this moment, there is an armored vehicle every thirty to fifty meters on the entire position. The temporary trenches are not very strong, but relying on the armored vehicles next to them, it is still no problem to hold the defense line.

The Russians could also bypass this place and cross the river 35 miles downstream, but if they tried, it would take almost an entire night, not to mention that they looked down on this security group.

After receiving the notice, the company commanders of each battalion immediately encouraged their brothers. After fighting tonight, the position is in our hands, and two months' salary will be received. This is not a small amount of money. We are now in the war zone and we are getting double salary. Even if the salary of the security group is adjusted, most people can get more than ten yuan.

Think about how long it would take to earn a dozen dollars if you were hanging around on the streets. If you just hold your ground tonight, how much can you accomplish at home?

Besides, the planes were not idle this afternoon. The 7th Security Regiment itself had more than 40 trucks, all carrying weapons and ammunition. After an afternoon of airdrops, they had a lot of fun stuff.

At this moment, more than 30 meters away from the river, the 7th Security Regiment had already built a 1,200-meter-long defense line.

Especially in the few dozen meters in the center, there are more than a dozen machine gun boats and armored vehicles are also nearby. If the enemy wants to cross the river from here, forget it.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the Russian artillery began a tentative bombardment.

Compared with the regular army, the security corps has all the equipment except 105mm howitzers, but it also has 120mm mortars.

The other side used 75mm mountain guns and infantry guns, and we also fired back at them.

All the rapid-fire cannons on the armored vehicles are now stopped. We will wait until the enemy starts attacking and then we will attack them.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the battlefield, many recruits were a little scared. After all, they had never seen such a scene. But they understood one thing: compared with the fire on the opposite side, the shells falling on our heads seemed to be more than the shells on the opposite side.

Before the infantry arrived, the busiest people on the entire position were the artillerymen and medical soldiers. When someone was injured by the explosion, the medical soldiers immediately carried out the simplest treatment with the help of their comrades. More than a dozen trucks were ready in the rear, and there were also herdsmen who came to help. Their task was to send the wounded back to the tribe.

"Can't you knock out their artillery positions?"

I heard that the enemy hadn't attacked yet, but more than 60 people on our side were pulled down. Xu Chenglong couldn't bear it anymore and started yelling at the artillery company commander.

"Captain, it's not that we're not working hard. The artillery of several regiments over there is concentrated together. If we didn't have more artillery on hand, our artillery positions would have been destroyed."

The artillery company commander was sitting next to him, and the medic was treating the wound on his head. A piece of shell casing had just cut a three-centimeter gash, and his face was now covered in blood.

"What about your 120mm mortar? Pull it up and use it?"

The regimental commander suddenly thought of those big guns. The 120mm mortar shells fell to the ground, and there was no living person within several hundred square meters around.

"Captain, that thing is powerful enough, but it doesn't have enough range. We have to wait until the enemy reaches the river. Then you'll see how I beat him. We have to keep some tricks up our sleeve."

The artillery company commander was injured in the head. He refused to take anesthesia no matter what, so he was grimacing in pain. He was given more than a dozen stitches in total, but he was indeed a man.

Xu Chenglong thought about it and it made sense, but he did feel uncomfortable that dozens of people had been killed without even fighting.

If he knew that the Rakshasa people on the opposite side had pulled down nearly three times as many people, he would probably feel better, but unfortunately, it was impossible for them to inform you about the Rakshasa army.

After twenty minutes of artillery preparation, basically all the artillery on the Luosha side had been silenced. They only had so many shells prepared. However, it was different for the 7th Security Regiment. Their artillery was still firing.

If you want to know why, it is because there are too many shells, which are piled up on our position. If one of them explodes, we will be killed. It is better to hit the Russian position. Even if three shells kill one person, it is better than exploding on our position.

Xu Chenglong remembered what Li Shaoyi said: Don't be afraid of losing ammunition when fighting on the battlefield. We have plenty of this stuff. As long as you can use ammunition to kill your enemies, the medal of honor will be yours.

Now either the artillerymen are too tired to get up, or the gun barrels are overheated and cannot fire. Apart from these two reasons, Xu Chenglong will never let his artillery company rest, so you just need to build as much as you can.

This stunned the Rakshasa army. Before an infantry charge, wasn't there usually a ten-minute to half-hour artillery preparation? Then the infantry charge should have begun. But they had already been fighting for so long. Wouldn't the enemy artillery be tired?

The Rakshasa soldiers received orders to wait for the enemy's artillery fire to stop before they could charge. However, after waiting for hundreds of shells to be dropped, the enemy showed no sign of stopping.
