Chapter 2: Fierce Battle

  "The enemy is coming!" With the sentinel's loud cry, the soldiers on the third battalion's blocking position all returned to their posts! Chen Fei-chun held his rifle with rapt attention, taking aim at the target enemy!

  It's already five o'clock in the afternoon of the first day, and the weather is still so cold! The enemy artillery has been bombarding again and again. Before each enemy infantry attack, the enemy artillery always fires first!

  The direct enemy of the three regiments is the KMT's new 3rd Division, an old-brand unit that fought in the Burma Campaign! Equipped with American equipment! Chen Feichen thought about the history in his mind, according to historical records, this KMT American equipment was just light infantry division equipment! There wasn't even any US heavy infantry division equipment! However, these artillery alone were enough to make him drink a pot. His ears still rang until now.

  Chen Feichen narrowed his eyes, pondering how to take down the thirtieth enemy. In this battle, Chen Feichen had already taken out twenty-nine enemies and he didn't even know how his shooting instincts had improved so much. Was this what they meant by "super performance"?

  "Comrades, fire!" The company commander's order pierced Chen Feidu's ears. Chen Feidu immediately pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, an enemy soldier fell to the ground! Chen Feidu skillfully pulled back the bolt, ejecting the shell casing, and then again smoothly re-cocked the rifle.

  Huang Daniu's machine gun fire kept calling out beside Chen Feicheng's ears, making Chen Feicheng's heart itch. The sound was so pleasant to hear, the bullets whizzing by, the enemy falling down with a thud!

  Chen Feichen envied Hui's return, but he still thought that carrying a rifle was a good deal. Normally, marching and carrying such heavy equipment wasn't suffering? Rifles were more energy-efficient! Who had seen the company commander, regimental commander, and others who were machine gunners by origin, basically all from the rifle faction! Chen Feichen thought proudly, only he could make small mistakes during battles and still be alive today, it was truly a blessing from heaven, one word: "lucky".

  As the battle raged on for three days, Chen Fei Cen was no longer the same person he was on the first day. His hat had been blown away and his military uniform was torn in several places by shrapnel from exploding bombs. With a face blackened by gunpowder smoke, he looked like a beggar.

  No, if you add Chen Feicheng's eyes with a murderous aura, then this person can only be said to be a man! Chen Feicheng didn't know how many people were still alive on this land. From the beginning, there were comrades everywhere around him, but now it was empty and desolate. The so-called emptiness was because he didn't see any signs of life, which made him feel a bit guilty. He shouted loudly: "Who else is still breathing?! If you have breath, shout!"

  "Me!" ... Chen Fei Cen silently counted that there were still twenty-three people on his side of the formation, and the entire regiment still had one-third of its combat strength!

  Company Commander Lin and the instructor had already sacrificed themselves, they died on the first day of the war. Then the platoon leader took over, followed by the third platoon leader, now Chen Feicheng doesn't even know who is the company commander! Chen Feicheng thought for a moment and immediately walked towards the company headquarters, of course, he was crouching and walking quickly along the trenches.

  Arrived at the company, it was also a trench, and there were no people left. The company's communication personnel had all sacrificed themselves. Chen Feicheng hastily checked if the telephone line was intact, fortunately, it still connected to the regimental headquarters.

  At this time, a shrill whistling sound came, and Chen Feicheng immediately realized that the enemy's attack was coming. This was the enemy's artillery fire. He didn't say another word and directly lay down. In his heart, he was also praying that the shell would not hit him, even if it did, he wouldn't get hurt! You know, a heavy artillery shell exploding in this trench can directly kill people! Unless you can hide in an air raid shelter, and it's a deeply dug one, otherwise, you might be shaken to death.

  Soon, shells exploded on the position one after another, a standard carpet bombing! Chen Feicheng felt the ground under his feet shaking like an earthquake! The mud above his head was layered down! His ears were almost deafened, and he only heard the buzzing sound.

  The bombardment finally stopped, Chen Fei didn't have time to celebrate that he had dodged the bombardment, instead he immediately lifted his head and slightly cleaned off the mud on his body. He knew the enemy was about to arrive, the enemy's attack was getting fiercer with each passing moment, these enemy infantrymen were now basically advancing to a position only 100 meters away from their defensive line after the end of the bombardment.

  Seeing the enemy infantry crouching and advancing quickly towards their position, Chen Fei-cen shouted: "The enemy is coming!" As if in response to Chen Fei-cen, a number of guns suddenly emerged from the position, all belonging to the surviving soldiers on the position.

  Chen Feichen didn't have time to look at his comrades beside him, he stared at the enemy, just as he was about to shoot, the phone suddenly rang!

  He was taken aback, then immediately picked up the phone and put it above the trench. A voice came from the receiver: "Hello? Hello! Is this the first company? Hello? Hello!"

  "I am Sanlian, I am Sanlian!"

  "Let you guys keep making long-distance calls!"

  "Report to the superior officer, the company commander has been killed!"

  "What about the instructor?"

  "It's been sacrificed."

  "A row long." He replied still is.

  The microphone fell silent for a moment, and he said directly: "Who are you?"

  "Reporting to the superior officer, I am Chen Feichen!"

  "Chen Feichen? Chen Feichen... I know you, you're that sharp-tongued new recruit, aren't you!"

  "Ah, yes, Commander, who are you?"

  "I am Luo Hao!"

  "Captain? Hello, Captain!"

  "How many of you are left now?"

  "Captain, the enemy is coming!" Chen Fei hung up the phone and saw that the enemy had already entered the minimum firing range. He shouted: "Fire!"

  A quiet battlefield suddenly erupted into a barrage of gunfire with Chen Fei's order, machine guns once again spewed out flames! Bullets rained down on the enemy like raindrops.

  The enemy was already a bit nervous and on edge! Now, all of a sudden, more than a dozen were knocked down, the remaining enemies subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the muzzle of the supervisor team behind them was black and shiny, and their ears rang: "Get up for me, whoever takes a step back I'll shoot him dead, get up for me! Occupy the position, officer promotion three levels, big ocean five hundred!"

  The enemy immediately turned around and charged forward again! With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. What's more, retreating is death, and this charge might still live. Under this mentality, the enemy soldiers were all red-eyed and shouting to charge.

  Chen Feichen picked up the hand grenade beside him, pulled the pin and threw it out. "Boom!" The comrades around him also threw out their hand grenades at the same time. At this moment, relying solely on rifles was not enough to suppress the enemy, and only hand grenades, a weapon of mass destruction, could do so.

  More than 20 hand grenades exploded, the effect was not much different from a cannonade. At least it seemed that way, as dozens of enemy soldiers fell down at once, and the morale of our troops was suppressed again. Although the enemy continued to charge, their footsteps became hesitant, unlike the decisive ones earlier.
