The shining blue sky and white sun hat badge is embedded on the upright and stylish dark gray military cap. The curled brim is slightly lowered, covering some of the light, forming a curved shadow, covering some of the bronze-colored heroic faces. The straight gray military uniform is bound in a wide and thick brown belt, and the strap is obliquely passed through the chest and around the shoulders, leaning against the major collar seal with red bottom and gold edges. The metal snaps on it are shining, forming a strong color contrast with the spotless black boots. A tall officer figure appears at the door of the division command post.

"Report!"

The chief of staff who was lying on the map raised his head: "Well, Hu Yi, you are here." He took off his glasses and threw them on the map on the table, raised his hands and continued: "The division commander went to the general commander overnight, and I am currently in charge of the commander."

"Resolutely obey orders! Please give me a message!"

The Chief of Staff waved a little, signaled Hu Yi to relax, and continued: "The Japanese suffered a loss yesterday. After this night, I guess their offensive preparations have been completed. How was your direct machine gun company arranged?"

"Eight heavy machine guns, two are arranged in Yaomadu, two are on the front left wing, and three are on the right wing. They have all been assigned to the troops in their positions for temporary command, and the remaining one is dispatched by me in the center."

The chief of staff looked down at the map, "All spread out? This is not good. I ordered the machine gun company to immediately gather and enter the hill position to set up defense."

"This..." Hu Yi was puzzled. The hill position was at the forefront, and it was a small mountain bag without vegetation. If eight heavy machine guns were placed in the hill position, the firepower range was limited and the shooting range was too repeated. Not only did he lose the range advantage of the heavy machine gun, the concealment was too poor.

"Don't do this or that. The Japanese clearly want to hit a hill. I want to keep the hill. If you don't put your machine gun company on it, do you want me to put the cannon company on it? Execute the order!"

"yes."……

It was almost dawn, and Hu Yi stood on the hilly base and looked around, frowned. The deputy company commander ran up from behind, stood beside Hu Yi, took off his hat and wiped the sweat on his head, and then slapped the hat in his hand. "I said, Company Commander, are you sure you heard the order wrong? Putting us here is just using a heavy machine gun as a light machine gun?"

"How are the fortifications prepared?" Hu Yi answered the question irrelevantly.

"As you said, in order to prevent artillery, all U-shaped trenches were dug, so try to deepen them. But look at the weeds around, the heavy machine guns still can't hide them, so I have no choice."

"Have you greeted the infantry positions at the front of the mountain?"

"I've seen them. They are from the 642nd Regiment. A reinforcement battalion was arranged at the foot of the mountain in front of us, which should be able to withstand it."

Hu Yi nodded and turned toward the position.

"Oh, company commander, company commander, don't rush to leave. You see if you can ask for instructions from the upper peak. It's still time..."

The Japanese moved seriously and set up a large group as soon as they came up, rushing wildly at the frontier positions under the hill, surging like a tide. The dense artillery fire bombarded the reinforced camp positions under the frontiers of the hill again and again.

The eight wheeled Maxim heavy machine guns worked almost without interruption. In cooperation with the reinforcement battalion in front, they firmly suppressed the Japanese offensive line at the forefront of the hill position, leaving behind large corpses, but could not push further.

When the third attempt to attack the cluster failed, the furious Japanese finally extended their sight and discovered the firepower support on the hill.

A 90mm Type 97 mortar shell fell from the top of his head with a unique roar, and landed not far from the outside of the trench, causing a large fog of mud, slamming - the falling gravel and soil spread all over Hu Yi.

Hu Yi put down his telescope and was broken. What was coming was finally coming. This single shell was a test-fire, which provided a reference for shooting the various elements before the official shelling. He shouted to the deputy company commander who was commanding the shooting on the position: "Cease fire and hide, prepare for anti-cannons!"

More than ten seconds later, the bullet rain arrived as scheduled. It continued to roar, extending freely, covering the entire hill position in the smoke of gunpowder.

The artillery fire did not stop, and the Japanese's fourth charge began. The reinforcement battalion, which had lost the support of heavy machine guns behind him, finally was flooded into the frontier trenches by the first wave of Japanese.

The hand-to-hand combat in the telescope made Hu Yi anxious. If the reinforcement battalion could not withstand it, the machine gun company behind him would still have to be finished. He stood up from the trenches and gritted his teeth and shouted: "All machine guns, the trenches in the front are calibrated, extending 200 meters to block the shooting. Block the shooting!"

In the continuous smoke of gunfire, the machine gunners climbed out of the trench again, facing the waves of air that hit at any time, listening to the deafening roar, gravel, sand, shrapnel that continued to sprinkle, and shrapnel, and reoperated the machine gun again. The operator was constantly knocked down by shrapnel, and the people next to them immediately pushed up, so that the flames of the machine gun could continue, sprinkle one after another, penetrating one after another, and roaring over the front trench that was fighting, forming a barrage of death blocking area. The Japanese who followed the follower were finally suppressed, fell to the ground helplessly, searching for stones, looking for shallow pits, or looking for corpses, and avoiding the harvest that was coming. The Japanese who rushed into the defensive position had no follow-up support and were finally defeated by the infantry in the trench, and the fourth attack was fruitless.

The shelling stopped temporarily, and the deputy company commander rushed to Hu Yi in a dusty state, shouting to Hu Yi with a hoarse throat: "Company Commander, you can't fight like this. Almost half of the company's brothers stuffed the shells into the teeth, and the machine guns were reimbursed for two. It's not worth it to fight like this!"

Hu Yi lay beside the trench, holding the telescope and continuously observing the battlefield, as if he had never heard the words of the deputy company commander beside him.

Hu Yi was also hesitating. How could he fight if he didn't fight like this? The Japanese would launch a new round of attacks at any time. Now he is moving his position? It's too hasty, and it is estimated that the time is not enough. The battlefield situation is much more severe than expected. I didn't expect that the Japanese would fill up the brigade as soon as they came up. If the support of the machine gun company is lost, the reinforcement battalion in front may not be able to withstand the Japanese. Continue to fight like this? I guess the machine gun company will be gone. The left and right will be finished. Hu Yi regretted it, and he should have turned against him in the command post. He explained it to the chief of staff of the grandson. Rejecting this nonsense order is at worst. At worst, there is no official position. I can't do it. Thinking about these things now is useless.

Seeing that the company commander still had no movement, the deputy company commander complained and begged, "Company Commander, I beg you for my brothers, and you have seen it too. If our company is finished, his front position will still be unsecured. If we move to the flank, it will be more effective to give the front support."

"Do you think the front can withstand the attack of the Japanese when we are transferring?" Hu Yi's tone was plain and without emotion.

"Maybe they can do it, at least they are a reinforcement battalion. Maybe they can withstand it."

Hu Yi thought silently for a while and finally made up his mind: "Tell your brothers, hold on to another wave. As soon as this wave ends, he will immediately transfer his position to the right wing. In addition, he will send communication soldiers to the front to explain the situation to the strengthening battalion and make them mentally prepared."

"Yes!" The deputy company commander solemnly saluted Hu Yi, turned around and ran away.

Leaving the mission position without authorization is also a violation of military law and is responsible. However, in order to leave a way out for the brothers in the machine gun company, it is worth it! Hu Yi took a deep breath and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The situation on the battlefield will never develop in the direction they expected. The fifth attack, which I thought would come soon, has not appeared for a long time. This made Hu Yi very upset. Such a long interval was enough for the machine gun company to transfer the cover position. Damn it, I missed the opportunity. What is the Japanese doing? Did the morale be frustrated and stopped the attack? Impossible. Or were they secretly encircled? There was no movement on the flank troops. Impossible. Is there something wrong with the command system? Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Impossible

The Japanese suspended the attack. Because the Japanese felt that the losses were too great and were unwilling to accept them, the Japanese called for air support. They were waiting for the plane, and after the plane arrived, they cooperated with the artillery to destroy the firepower on the hill before launching a charge.

The shelling began. Hu Yi finally felt at ease. No matter what, it was better than Ning Jing's torture. The scale of the shelling this time increased, not only the mortars, but also the Type 92 infantry cannons joined in, cutting the hill positions layer by layer, rumbling into a circle, and biting every inch of soil like a shrew.

When the trench stopped trembling, Hu Yi realized that the shelling had stopped. There was always a buzzing echo in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything clearly. He shook off all the dust and climbed up to the edge of the trench again. Something seemed to appear in the horizon in the distance, slowly approaching and gradually becoming clear.

An aviation bomb released the security and fell down, then the second, the third...

A huge wave of air suddenly spread out on the edge of the trench above Hu Yi's head, causing one side of the trench to collapse and almost buried Hu Yi's whole body...

The second batch of air raids passed over the hill. This time, it was an aviation incendiary bomb. The bare hill finally turned into a hell of flames...

Internal Order of the 67th Army: After verification, Hu Yi, the commander of the machine gun company directly under the 107th Division, had improper command arrangements during the battle in Xiaoshan, causing the entire machine gun company to die in the country. He has now decided to be demoted and retained to serve as a warning to others...

A dozen figures ran in panic, dripping blood and sweating. They fell down and struggled, and climbed over the top of the mountain behind the position with difficulty.

Crazy--more than a dozen flower machine guns are loaded and arranged in a row.

The deserters stumbled and stopped, staring at the supervision team in front of them numbly, and were silent for a moment.

"I am the company commander, and I ordered the retreat. It has nothing to do with them. I would like to greet me if I have sex."

Hu Yi's machine gun was still hanging behind his shoulders and never took it off. He raised his head and looked at the dozen deserters in front of him calmly. His eyes passed through them. It was the plane still bombing on the other side of the mountain, buzzing and circling with strange buzzing. He just said calmly: "Get out now!"

"Captain? This?"

"I said let them get out!"
