The War of Resistance

Chapter 725 Unexpected bombardment

Shelling has always been an inevitable step before the Japanese army launches an attack.

Although everyone thought that the Japanese army would launch an attack on Jiangbei soon after occupying Bengbu on the south bank of the Huaihe River, no one thought that the Japanese army's attack would come so quickly.

"Bang", "bang", the door was banged, and when the third sound sounded, it was not just a "bang", but was accompanied by the "crack" sound of the door panel breaking, and then several people came from The door was knocked out and they all fell to the ground as they couldn't hold back.

"You are crushing me to death!" cried the little dustpan.

The small dustpan was placed close to the door panel to communicate with the people outside. Just when the Japanese shelling started, the people in the house shouted to the people outside to open the door.

But there was no movement even after calling out to the people outside. As a veteran, who would stand firm in the house? If the Japanese army came and hit the house with a heavy artillery, the whole house would be in a panic.

So when Old Man Wang gave the order, the soldiers all hit the door panel.

After all, there were more people and more power, so the door was finally smashed, and the people behind who couldn't hold back fell on top of the small dustpan in front.

As the little dustpan shouted, the people above climbed up.

"You're injured, why is there blood?" Hu Zhuzhu shouted when he saw that there was blood on the chest of Little Dustpan.

"Am I injured?" Little Dustpan was also confused.

Sometimes soldiers are too involved in the battle, and even though they are injured, they are injured without even realizing it.

The little dustpan moved a few times but didn't feel anything bad, but then Mr. Wang said: "The brother below was killed in action!"

Isn't that right? At this time, everyone saw that a Northeastern Army soldier was still lying next to the small dustpan but was motionless. Blood was gushing out of his body, but there was already a large pool of blood underneath him.

It turned out that during the Japanese shelling, the soldier was knocked down directly by the fragments of the shell. It happened that the small dustpan was knocked out but fell on the soldier.

"Platoon leader!" A soldier from the Northeast Army ran over.

"Platoon leader?" Mr. Wang and the others were all stunned. There was no other platoon leader outside the room. That was Lu Yong!

For a moment, the soldiers were a little confused. They had just experienced Lu Yong's kindness to them in the room, but they didn't even see what Lu Yong looked like, and Lu Yong was killed in battle just like that!

But now that Lu Yong has been killed, can they see what Lu Yong looks like? But still can't!

Just because Lu Yong died lying down, the blood had already flowed to the bottom of his face. Even if it was lifted up, it would just be a bloody stain!

"Everyone is stunned, get out and hide from the cannon first!" Mr. Wang shouted.

People are gone, very quickly, but the soldiers don’t even have time to grieve. They need to think about the living! They did not expect that Lu Yong was the Northeast Army brother they had known for the shortest time. They only talked a few words and knew his name, but they never even met him!

But at this time, Mr. Wang and others discovered that just under the Japanese artillery fire, four Northeastern Army soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood. As for which one was Lu Yong's subordinate, which one They were from the brigade security company, they couldn't tell the difference at all!

The crowd dispersed, and when they looked at the courtyard again, they saw that the impact point of the Japanese artillery was in the middle of the courtyard. There was a gap in the courtyard wall, and a soldier was getting up from the ground, but he was shaking very slowly. Apparently he was shaken by the explosion of the shell or hit by flying bricks.

Old Mao Wang looked around the yard and wondered where the people from the security company had gone, but then he heard the sound of cannon fire again.

However, veterans are veterans, and when they heard the sound of the cannon, they knew they were not here. Wang Lao Mao ran out of the yard, followed by a large crowd of people behind him.

And when they ran out of the yard, the sound of cannons in front of them was heard, and the smoke and dust from the explosion where they looked was only more than 200 meters in front of them.

At this time, Mr. Wang and the others finally woke up and realized that the shot that the Japanese army had just fired into the courtyard was actually a test fire!

But who would have thought that the Japanese army's test-fired artillery shell hit this courtyard, and Lu Yong was killed!

"What the hell, this is too much!" Mr. Wang cursed bitterly.

But at this moment, he was not feeling emotional. He saw smoke and dust from explosions rising from the north bank on their side. When he looked to the right, there were even more smoke and dust from explosions, and he could not count them. How many wisps of smoke and dust rose into the sky like mushroom heads after the rain.

Old Man Wang didn't know that the town they were in at this time was called Xiao Bengbu, but it was across the river from Bengbu on the south bank that had been occupied by the Japanese army. However, their current location was on the left wing of Xiao Bengbu. Therefore, this is not the main direction of the Japanese army's attack.

"It's over, it's over!" At this moment, Chen Hanwen suddenly said behind Mr. Wang.

"The battle hasn't even started yet, so why is it over?" Bai Zhan was puzzled.

"I mean our people on the shore are finished." Chen Hanwen replied.

While they were talking, all of them saw many soldiers from the Northeast Army getting up on the river bank and running towards them desperately.

At this time, several people who were running towards the river bank turned around and ran towards them.

The few people who turned around and ran over were still far away from the Japanese artillery fire, and they had time. However, at this time, the Japanese artillery shells fell among the soldiers who were running back from the river bank. Smoke and dust rose up, and when the dust was After scattering those soldiers who could still get up and run back, there were obviously fewer soldiers!

Bai Zhan was also a new recruit when faced with this situation. He still didn't understand how Chen Hanwen knew that our people were dead. Instead, Qiu Bo's next words answered his question: "How come the fortifications haven't even been repaired?"

Bai Zhanna still knew what the fortifications were. He stared ahead and looked forward. He really didn't see any fortifications on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

And the few people who turned around and ran back were already close to them.

"Don't run here, run there!" Qiu Bo suddenly shouted, and then he took the lead and jumped out.

Bai Zhan, one of these soldiers, thought that his brains were good enough, but he couldn't understand the intentions of veterans like Qiu Bo.

Experienced veterans like Wang Laomao, Xiao Dustpan, and Hou Kanshan must have understood everything and ran away with Qiu Bo. People like Yu Zuolong, Guo Baoyou, Hu Zhuzhu, and Hulu were slow to react, but they were obedient and would just follow Qiu Bo. He also ran.

Bai Zhan had no choice but to run after him, and then he saw the few people who turned around and ran back and followed them.

What's diagonally ahead?

There is a stinking ditch diagonally ahead. Although it is winter, but the water is not frozen, it looks like a place where nearby residents pour swill.

But at this moment, Bai Zhan heard the sound of artillery approaching. When he looked ahead, he found that the explosion point of the Japanese artillery shell was already closer to them!

This is - extended artillery fire!

At this point, Bai Zhan realized that the Japanese artillery fire must have begun to extend the shooting, but he did not notice it because he had no experience in this area.

But at this time, Bai Zhan saw that the veterans in front of him all quickly fell forward, and then one by one they fell directly into the smelly ditch!

Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, and the muddy water splashed directly on his face.

At this time, the fear of death undoubtedly defeated Bai Zhan's dirty heart. He plunged forward and fell forward!

There are no fortifications at all on this bank, not even a trench. This sewage ditch can barely be regarded as a ditch. If they don't hide here, where can they hide?
