"Boom..." A shell exploded less than five meters away from Wang Long. The company commander Wang Long, who was holding a semi-automatic rifle, was directly blown up like a dog eating shit and fell heavily into the ruins.

With the help of the guard, he crawled out of the trench in a look of embarrassment and patted the soil covered with military uniforms. He couldn't help but complain: "Damn the Japanese, you've been fighting for so long, and the artillery fire is still so fierce..."

After saying that, he almost roared at the rows of leaders hidden in a crater next to him, "One row leader, how many infantry are left to continue fighting..."

He quickly shot out all the remaining bullets in the gun chamber and successfully killed a Japanese officer. After knocking him into a hornet's nest, the leader of a platoon raised his head full of smoke. While changing the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, he replied: "Company Commander, take me with me in one row, and there are 24 people left... As for the other two platoons, I don't know the specific number, but the total number is definitely not more than sixty..."

"In other words, more than half of our company's casualties have occurred, and there are less than a hundred people who can continue to fight..." Company Commander Wang Long was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise...

"Yes, company commander..." The semi-automatic rifle bullets in his hand were loaded again, and the Japanese army had shot another bullet a few hundred meters away from the position. Without thinking, he replied loudly.

Hearing this, a trace of nameless anger quickly surged into Wang Long's heart.

After pulling the trigger of the rifle in his hand continuously, he knocked a Japanese army three hundred meters away into a hornet's nest, he shouted with hatred: "Dog Japanese, eat so many of my brothers, my grandma... When my air force support comes, you will definitely make your blood debt and repay your blood. Also feel the feeling of being bombed..."

After saying that, he almost shouted at his subordinates who were still fighting around him, saying, "Brothers, hold on for me. As long as we block the Japanese attack, our plane will come to support us... At that time, let the Air Force brothers clean up the Japanese in front of us, avenge the sacrificed comrades... concentrate their firepower and fight me hard..."

The command "papapapa..." was issued, and the company commander Wang Long set an example and began to show his power first.

One round of bullets was like not having money, and as the index finger of the right hand jumped, it kept ejecting from the jumping muzzle. In a blink of an eye, twenty bullets in a magazine were shot out...

Of course, the results achieved by twenty bullets in a magazine were quite good. The gunshots stopped, and at least four Japanese soldiers fell into a sudden attack on the bombardment just now.

The crisp sound of empty gun shooting sounded from the rifle chamber. Wang Long, a bloodthirsty company commander, did not hesitate and quickly pulled out a new magazine from the armed belt around his waist. While changing the magazine for the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, he rolled sideways. He quickly moved to the new shooting position and avoided several bullets that had just been fired at him...

After a skilled tactical action, the semi-automatic rifle that had stopped for less than five seconds made another dull shooting sound.

Looking around, in front of the position, all the Japanese troops that appeared in front of Wang Long were beaten into hornet's nests and turned into corpses.

With his rich combat experience and keen sense of battlefield olfactory ability, Wang Long rolled sideways again and again to avoid bullets shot at him by the Japanese army. However, most of the officers and soldiers in the entire company were not as lucky as Wang Long.

Especially when general machine gunners concentrate on their energy and firepower to suppress the Japanese offensive firepower, special grenades for grenades that are constantly falling beside them, and precise rifle bullets shot in the face... without exception, they are their deadly killers.

Less than ten minutes into the battle, the entire company had ten general-purpose machine guns, and only the last three were left. Even the remaining three general-purpose machine guns, facing the powerful firepower counterattack of the Japanese army, had to fight a round of gun positions, and fight guerrilla positions with the Japanese machine gunners, and they could not afford to organize strong suppressive firepower against the Japanese army.

Without machine guns to attack themselves, the light machine guns and grenade launchers that the Japanese army attacked with the team had to transfer the attack target to ordinary infantry.

"Boom..." A grenade explosion sounded, and an infantryman holding a semi-automatic rifle was able to fight. Before he could react, he was shrouded by the fireballs and smoke produced by the grenade explosion, life and death were uncertain...

This situation in front of us has happened more than once around the company commander Wang Long.

Soon, the strength of half an infantry company was quickly reduced to one infantry platoon under the continuous attack of the Japanese army. The nearly 100 troops remaining in the Japanese offensive troops had advanced to less than a hundred meters away from the position...

Rows of leaders with smoke on their faces had to remind: "Company Commander, the Japanese army's firepower is too strong, and the shells hit us like they don't have money. If there is no reinforcement force, we all have to explain it to this..."

After glaring fiercely at the row of leaders who had already touched him, Wang Long said firmly: "Shut up... The task given to us is to stick to the frontline position to the death and understand what it means to defend the position to the death... Whether there are reinforcements or not, we must be nailed to the battlefield like a nail until the Japanese step on our bodies and cross the position..."

After saying that, he said to his subordinates, with a farewell order: "Brothers, we have killed so many Japanese soldiers, so we have already been able to do it. We will hold on to me, and swear to hold our position to the death and beat him hard..."

Three general-purpose machine guns and more than 30 rifles were like a return to the light before death. Regardless of the dense rain of bullets shot by the Japanese army, they poured ammunition forward frantically...

In a blink of an eye, a dense bullet net appeared directly in front of the Japanese attacking troops.

The Japanese troops who seemed to have seen victory and were screaming and trying to rush to the position were like hitting an indestructible iron wall, with a look of reluctance on the charge road...

The captain of the Japanese squadron led the team and knew very well that the Chinese army on the opposite side had begun to fight again. As long as he worked harder, he would definitely win in the end. However, seeing that there was less than a small team of troops left by his side, the captain was frightened.

He was afraid that before he could rush to the other side's position, he would become a corpse on the charge road like his colleagues...

With a complex expression of unwillingness and fear, he roared loudly at the only subordinates around him: "Retreat, the troops will retreat immediately.... Machine gun cover, retreat quickly..."

……………………………………

The only commander of the brigade of the Japanese 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Kiyama, who had gathered thousands of elite Japanese troops, had been holding a telescope since the attack started by the troops. He kept observing every move on the battlefield without moving. He wanted to truly see and understand the real combat power of his opponent through this real attack.

When he saw that the defenders at the frontier positions, which were the company of Commander Wang Long, had become the last of his strength, a sneer quickly flashed through Major General Mushan's mouth. At the same time, a face was instantly covered by a confident expression.

However, this expression lasted for less than five seconds on his face, and it became gloomy because of the next scene on the battlefield. He roared at his subordinates with anger: "Baga, what's going on with the attacking troops? Who told them to retreat? Don't they know that as long as they continue to attack, the position will belong to us..."

Then, he did not care about the most taboo in the army's "out of power command", and shouted at the chief of staff beside him: "Chief of staff, immediately line up the military police to the forefront. Whoever dares to retreat one step further will be killed without mercy... In addition, another infantry squadron will be drawn to strengthen the attack on China's frontier positions... Artillery will continue to provide artillery cover for infantry... I give the offensive troops ten minutes, within ten kinds of things. The offensive troops must take the opponent's position in front of them, otherwise, military law will deal with it..."

"Hayi..."

Facing Major General Mushan's murderous gaze, the Chief of Staff's heart trembled. He did not dare to be negligent at all, and quickly replied.

Another infantry squadron joined the battlefield and was already in desperate situations, and the pressure faced was even greater.

Facing the dense rain above the head, the artillery shells that kept landing and exploded. Facing the bullets that were close to the edge of the position and even whizzing past everyone's heads, the Japanese attacking troops in front of the position... On the frontier positions that had been razed to the ground, including the company commander Wang Long, all of them took a breath without exception.

However, without any orders, these veterans adjusted their mood as soon as possible. Regardless of the explosions that kept landing around them, they began to concentrate on putting bullets on the empty magazines around them, and prepared to use the semi-automatic rifle in their hands to give the Japanese army a fatal blow before they died.

"Brothers, the last moment is here... If there is a next life, I, Wang Long, will continue to be brothers with everyone..."

After loading three magazine bullets, Wang Long was very skillful in loading the rifle and changed to the best shooting position again. Then, he looked at his surrounding subordinates deeply and said with a sincere look on his face.

As soon as the words fell, the remaining 27 subordinates also spoke in unison: "Company Commander, we will continue to serve you in the next life..."

Seeing more than 20 subordinates around him who were emitting murderous aura, Wang Long nodded with satisfaction, and said with a farewell order: "Okay, we will continue to be brothers in the next life, and continue to kill the Japanese with the chief rank... Now I have orders, all of them are in the company, and the bullets are loaded, listen to my order to shoot..."

Two hundred meters... Wang Long did not issue a shooting order...

One hundred meters... Wang Long also did not issue a shooting order...

Seventy meters... When more than 20 officers and soldiers lying in the crater could already see the face of the Japanese army clearly. The company commander Wang Long's right index finger slowly bent towards the rifle trigger, preparing to shoot...

And at this moment, an accident happened...

The messy and dense sound of gunfire on the battlefield was suddenly replaced by a dull engine roar. Immediately afterwards, a black spot appeared in the sky southwest of the battlefield.

Wang Long, who had already made a decisive battle, quickly felt a surprise in his heart that he had survived the disaster. He shouted excitedly at his subordinates: "Brothers, it's an airplane. Our Air Force brothers have arrived. We are saved... They will beat me hard, kill these Japanese devils, and let the Air Force clean up these Japanese devils for us..."

While Wang Long discovered the aircraft group over the southwest of the battlefield, Major General Mushan, the commander of the Japanese brigade, also discovered this dark cluster. Then, regardless of the situation on the battlefield, he ordered with an anxious look: "Baga, it is a Chinese aircraft... hurry up, order the artillery cluster and hide immediately. You must not let Chinese aircraft discover the artillery positions..."

The Japanese artillery troops were collectively silent in an instant, hiding behind the position. A company of mortar platoons that had been frustrated for more than an hour could finally reveal their hideous face in front of the Japanese.

The Japanese shells fired at the front positions had just stopped. Six of them had already targeted the mortars of the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, and they began to roar in a hurry.

In just ten seconds, the Japanese machine gun position with more than a dozen heavy machine guns was razed to the ground by dozens of sudden shells.

Losing the threat of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, more than 20 officers and soldiers in a row were finally able to pour ammunition into the Japanese offensive troops without any scruples.

More than 20 semi-automatic rifles and two general-purpose machine guns, if combined, their power is no less than twenty light machine guns...

In less than half a minute, the Japanese squadron, which had lost its cover, was completely defeated under this dense firepower counterattack.

At this moment, an air reinforcement aircraft group composed of hundreds of fighter jets had already flew over the battlefield. Under the gaze of everyone on the ground, hundreds of fighter jets quickly divided into two. 12 bombers quickly came down to the ground, preparing to take actual strikes against the Japanese army on the battlefield. Most of the remaining fighter jets quickly crossed the battlefield and continued to fly towards the direction of their colleagues' county.

Although there are a little fewer 12 bombers, it is better than nothing.

More importantly, these 12 bombers were cruised over the battlefield, putting pressure on the Japanese army and air threats. At least during this day, the Japanese army would no longer dare to use any large-caliber heavy artillery.

The 12 bombers whizzing down from a high altitude did not disappoint Wang Long.

Based on the team, they quickly divided into four, with a sharp and rapid whistling sound of breaking through the air. They went straight to the Japanese army that had not had time to disperse on the ground.

The more than 100 small aviation bombs weighing 50 kilograms carried by the first round of six bombers quickly broke away from the bomber's restraint at an altitude of one thousand meters above the ground. It fell in the middle of the Japanese army like it was raining.

The dense sound of bomb explosions sounded from the Japanese gathering ground, and hundreds of orange-red fireballs exploded in an instant. The Japanese army, centered on the bombing point and a radius of several meters, were all shrouded by smoke and flames that quickly spread around, turning into corpses...

The 12 bombers that had entered the bombing state were like falcons smelling blood, constantly rushing towards their prey and destroying them. At this moment, in the temporary field airport near Tonghua County, one bomber after another was rushing towards the airport runway in a very orderly manner, and finally docked in the simple apron.

The bomber with the all-metal fuselage had just stopped and the cabin door specially used to load aviation bombs was slowly opened. Then, a team of soldiers rushed to the next to the bomber and began to take out a bucket of packaged aviation fuel from the cabin. Of course, in addition to aviation fuel, there were also some small aviation bombs with upper fuses.

Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Second Air Division, was undoubtedly the first to land at the airport as the commander-in-chief of this transportation operation. At this moment, he was standing in front of Commander Luo Zhan and handed over a large amount of supplies and ammunition transported by the Second Air Division through bombers with Luo Zhang.

After saluting Luo Zhang, Gao Zhihang took out a list directly and introduced it very readily: "Team Commander Luo, for this transportation operation, the Air Force dispatched two bomber regiments and one fighter regiment... One of the bomber squadrons left the aircraft group five minutes ago and participated in the air strikes against the Japanese army on the battlefield. In a short period of time, they were stationed in Tonghua Field Airport to provide your headquarters with necessary air support..."

"The fighter jet regiment is responsible for the escort mission of this transportation operation and carries 15 tons of aviation fuel with you. After all fighter jets are unloaded, one of the fighter jet squadrons will stay in Tonghua to protect Tonghua airspace. The remaining two fighter jet squadrons will continue to participate in the next escort operation..."

"The remaining five bomber squadrons of the two bomber regiments are, according to the bomb load capacity of two tons of bombers. In this transportation operation, a total of 120 tons of various materials were transferred to Tonghua. Among them, 12 field artillery pieces that your department urgently needs, 1,200 corresponding shells... The air force fighter's required aviation fuel is 50 tons, which is enough for the two squadrons to consume for three days... 30 tons of small air bombs for the Air Force and 5 tons of aviation bullets..."

Seeing Luo Zhang with a happy look in front of him, Gao Zhihang continued to speak: "According to the command of the chief rank, our Aircraft Division will continue to carry out two air transportations in Tonghua today, and transfer 240 tons of various materials and ammunition to temporary field airports. After completing the transportation, our Aircraft Division will follow the command of the chief rank, two permanent fighter squadrons and three bombers at the Tonghua field airport, and I will personally command it. Therefore, in the next battle, if Commander Luo has any needs, you can contact me with a radio station. In addition, if your department needs any equipment support, you can also report to your superiors immediately. As long as the weight is not too large, it can be transferred from the Air Force bomber."

The arrival of air support means that in the subsequent battle to defend the city, I no longer need to take into account the Japanese army's military strength and firepower advantages... Thinking of the various benefits that Gao Zhihang brought to him, and thinking of the number of subordinates who may have survived the battle with the Second Air Division. Luo Zhang's facial expression slowly began to move...
