Chapter 281 Green Plum Wine
Street fighting on Zhongshan East Road.
According to Liang Shanhao's order, the 242nd Regiment has withdrawn here to set up defenses.
The street fighting fortifications here were directed by Liang Shanhao, and the 242nd Regiment did not deploy barricades on the main road of Zhongshan East Road.
The purpose of this is to prevent the Japs from direct fire and protect the machine gun fire points.
All machine gun firepower was deployed on the second floors of the houses along the street. As long as the Japs' infantry entered Zhongshan East Road, the Japs were exposed to 360-degree crossfire without blind spots.
Carrying a Czech-style light machine gun onto the balcony of the second floor, the second battalion commander shouted: "Regiment, let's leave the repaired barricade unused. Why put the machine gun position on the second floor? The shooting range on the second floor is not as good as
The barricade is wide open and the machine gun firepower cannot be used!"
After giving the commander of the second battalion a sideways look, the commander of the 242nd regiment snorted: "You know nothing! The machine guns are placed on the barricade. Although the shooting range is very wide, if the Japanese tanks come up, it will attract artillery shells!"
Nodding in understanding, the second battalion commander shouted: "But we have arranged the machine gun positions on the second floor. Could it be that the little devil's tanks can't hit us!"
The leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted: "The little devil's tanks also have weaknesses. When fighting in narrow streets and the elevation angle of tank artillery is limited, machine guns placed at high places are relatively safer and more reasonable!"
Giving a thumbs up to the leader of the 242nd Regiment, the second battalion commander shouted: "Regimental leader, you are really good, you can think of all this!"
Waving his hand, the leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted: "I didn't come up with this, it was all guided by Master Wang himself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a harsh whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
call out!
Rumble!
A high-explosive bomb flew from a distance and hit the street on Zhongshan East Road.
This is a test firing of the Little Japanese heavy artillery.
The next moment, the leader of the 242nd Regiment shouted at the top of his voice: "The little devil is firing again. Everyone, please take cover! Hurry!"
After hearing this, the Sichuan Army soldiers who were still walking on the street rushed into the houses along the street.
As soon as the Sichuan soldiers entered the civilian houses, the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery arrived with their rear legs.
Suddenly, Zhongshan East Road was filled with a sea of fire and acrid smoke.
Curling up to avoid the gunfire, the leader of the 242nd Regiment felt that his ears were about to be deafened.
The God of War has a really bad temper.
Even though the commander of the 242nd Regiment was not hit by the shell, the violent shock was enough to make the commander of the 242nd Regiment extremely angry.
As the artillery roared, the commander of the 242nd Regiment clearly saw that some buildings had been completely collapsed.
The Sichuan soldiers hiding in the building were buried alive without even making a sound.
The heavy artillery bombardment lasted for a full twenty minutes.
In these twenty minutes, residential buildings around Zhongshan East Road were severely destroyed.
Despite this, most of the soldiers of the 242nd Regiment are still lurking silently in the dilapidated buildings.
After rearranging a light machine gun that had fallen on the ground, the commander of the 242nd Regiment shouted: "It's time for the little devil to come up. All battalions are ready, and get to their positions!"
After hearing the instructions from the leader of the 242nd Regiment, the disgraced Sichuan Army soldiers entered the preset street fighting fortifications one after another.
Soon, a squadron of Japanese soldiers appeared in front of Zhongshan East Road.
Clutching uniform Type 38 rifles, the Japanese soldiers walked along Zhongshan East Road towards the depths of the position!
But after walking for a long time, the little devil didn't find a single soldier of the Chinese Army.
The Japanese squadron leader suddenly began to murmur in his heart.
This is unscientific. Doesn’t the Chinese Army set up defenses on the streets?
Or it could be said that the Chinese army dug a hole in front waiting for them to jump!
Thinking of this, the Japanese squadron leader suddenly became alert.
Waving his hand backward, the Japanese squadron leader lowered his voice and shouted: "Sergeant Watanabe! Come here!"
Holding a Type 38 rifle, a fierce-looking Japs sergeant trotted towards the Japs squadron.
The Japanese military commander asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, squadron leader, what are your orders?"
Staring at the empty street in front of him, the Japanese squadron leader shouted: "I'm worried that there may be an ambush of Chinese troops in the street in front of me. You can lead a detachment to reconnoiter!"
The Japanese military commander nodded heavily: "Hai!"
The next moment, a dozen little Japs, led by Sergeant Watanabe, were searching towards the front of the street.
While searching with guns and advancing, the Japanese broke into private houses and looted items.
Holding a Type 38 rifle in his hand, Sergeant Watanabe and two Japanese soldiers jumped into a grocery store.
There didn't seem to be anyone in the grocery store, but there was a dazzling array of food, drink, and clothing.
Seeing these goods, Sergeant Watanabe's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Before joining the army, Sergeant Watanabe was an out-and-out poor village man.
Seeing these good things in China, Sergeant Watanabe almost forgot that he was on a reconnaissance mission.
Without saying anything, Sergeant Watanabe opened a bottle of green plum wine and drank it.
Gurgling!
Sergeant Watanabe drank most of the bottle of green plum wine in one go.
Swallowing his saliva, the two first-class soldiers behind him blinked and asked, "Watanabe-kun, does this wine taste good?"
Opening the bottle again, Sergeant Watanabe exclaimed: "It tastes great! It's so refreshing! This is much more flavorful than the sake in our hometown, like plum wine!"
Hearing this, the two Japanese soldiers also grabbed the green plum wine and started drinking it.
Looking furtively at the drunken kid, the second battalion commander silently unscrewed the cap of the wooden-handled grenade.
The next moment, a smoking grenade with a wooden handle fell at the feet of Sergeant Watanabe.
Looking at the ground, Sergeant Watanabe shouted in shock: "Get out of the way! Grenade!"
Rumble!
Soon after, the three little devils who were drinking were blown up.
The two Japanese privates were killed on the spot, while Sergeant Watanabe crawled out of the grocery store dragging his bloody leg.
The second battalion commander hurriedly stepped forward and fired several shots at Sergeant Watanabe's back.
Bang bang bang!
Watanabe Gunso's jade was shattered.
There is no doubt that these three Japanese soldiers died of gluttony.
Almost at the same time, other kidnappers who were searching on the streets of Zhongshan East Road also woke up.
Carrying Type 38 rifles, the remaining seven or eight Japanese soldiers rushed towards the grocery store.
At this time, a Czech light machine gun on the second floor balcony directly opposite the grocery store opened fire!
Da da da!
A hysterical long shot, seven or eight little devils were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
Lying at the door of the grocery store were corpses of Japanese soldiers with numerous holes in them.
But a Japanese soldier was lucky enough to hide in the grocery store.
Before the Japanese soldiers could take a breath, the second battalion commander had already overtaken the Japanese soldiers and rushed towards them.
A sharp bayonet stabbed the Japanese soldier in the heart.
After three or two blows, the Japanese soldiers were motionless!
Hearing the gunshots in front, the Japanese squadron leader immediately ordered all soldiers to attack immediately.
Chapter completed!
