The 181st Regiment’s street fighting defensive position.

Soldiers from the third battalion are stationed in the fortifications.

At this time, several cooks from the cooking team came over from a distance carrying a barrel of pork rice!

Even before the pork rice arrived, the aroma had already begun to tingle the nostrils of the soldiers.

After sniffing, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Damn it, what does it smell like?"

Also smelling the aroma wafting from a distance, the second platoon leader on the side shouted: "Batalion Commander, it smells like meat, pork!"

When they heard about pork, the soldiers began to fly down three thousand feet!

During the war, it was good to be able to eat wild vegetables and grass bran, and there was no need to think about unusual meat.

Pork, that's a rare thing.

The soldiers once suspected that they might be hallucinating!

But the next moment, a large bucket of pork rice was placed in front of the soldiers of the third battalion.

Looking at the pork in the pork rice, the soldiers' eyes were wide-eyed, as if they met a little daughter-in-law halfway.

Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Old man Wang, the sun is coming out from the west today! How come we have such a good meal today and can still eat meat!"

Holding a big spoon in his hand, old man Wang, the leader of the cooking squad, shouted: "Captain Cao, didn't we win a big victory? This is the reward given to us by the master! Come on, come on! Brothers, hurry up and cook."

ah!"

At that moment, Battalion Commander Cao also raised his voice and shouted: "First team is on alert, other brothers are eating!"

After hearing the battalion commander's words, the soldiers lined up to get food.

After pouring a large spoonful of steaming rice into the food box, Old Man Wang shouted loudly: "Brothers, the pork rice is enough! If it's not enough, ask me for more!"

Standing on the side, Battalion Commander Cao also shouted: "Brothers, did you hear it? Open your belly to make a lot of food. After eating, kill a few more little devils. The next reward may be to drink flower wine!"

The soldiers burst into laughter as they devoured the pork rice in their hands.

At this moment, bursts of howling cannonballs suddenly sounded in the sky!

Boom!

A 155mm high-explosive bomb exploded near the third battalion's position.

Hearing the explosion, Battalion Commander Cao put down the pork rice in his hand.

Battalion Commander Cao shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Japanese are firing! All soldiers, avoid the artillery! Quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several high-explosive bombs were fired at the wooden barrels of the cooking class.

Rumble, rumble!

In an instant, balls of bright red fire rose into the sky.

The wooden barrel with half of the pork rice soaked in it also fell to the ground.

With a look of pity, Mr. Wang desperately picked up the pork that fell on the ground and put it in the barrel.

Dodging the Japanese artillery fire, Battalion Commander Cao raised his voice and shouted: "Old man Wang, damn you, you're going to die! Hurry and hide from the artillery fire, what are you doing picking up pork?"

As he kept picking up the pork in his hand, Old Man Wang shouted: "Captain Cao, please leave me alone. Pork is so valuable. A good bucket of pork soaked in rice will be wasted by the Japs' heavy artillery..."

Before he finished speaking, a high-explosive bomb flew towards the barrel again.

With a frown on his face, Camp Commander Cao shouted: "Old man Wang, get out of the way, hurry up..."

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and Old Man Wang was lifted into the air by the air wave generated by the explosion, and then fell heavily.

When Battalion Commander Cao rushed over to take a look, Old Man Wang's chest had been cut three times by shrapnel.

Dragging Old Man Wang into the sturdy house, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Old Man Wang, you, you..."

A smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and Old Man Wang shouted word by word: "Captain Cao, my skills in making...pork rice with rice are...ok...not..."

Nodding heavily, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's very delicious. Old man Wang, if you have to support me, you have to make pork rice for the brothers!"

Holding on for his last breath, Old Man Wang shouted: "Captain Cao, I'm afraid... I can't hold on any longer. You and your brothers... have to kill more... little devils..."

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Wang stopped his heartbeat.

With a pair of red eyes, Battalion Commander Cao cried out sadly: "Old Man Wang!"

At this time, the Japanese heavy artillery fire gradually stopped!

The shrapnel opened a hole at the corner of his mouth, and a sentry on guard hurriedly ran towards Commander Cao.

The alert sentry screamed: "Battal Commander, the little Japs are here! They... they also have the Iron Bastard!"

His face suddenly darkened, and Battalion Commander Cao shouted in surprise: "What? The Japs are on the tank! Let's go! Go over and have a look!!"

Quickly moving to the window sill on the second floor, Battalion Commander Cao held up his binoculars and looked at the Japanese soldiers on the street.

In the field of vision, four Type 95 light tanks were forming a column and driving toward the main position of the 181st Regiment.

At the same time, an infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers followed behind the tank.

While following the tanks, these Japanese soldiers held up Type 38 rifles to guard the houses and buildings on both sides of the street.

Suddenly taking a breath, Battalion Commander Cao shouted: "Commander, order each company to remain silent and wait until the Japs enter our effective attack range before opening fire. Also, notify each platoon! Prepare cluster grenades!"

After agreeing, the orderly soldier bent his waist and conveyed the order to each company and platoon.

At this time, the Japanese tank guns began to fire aimlessly at the buildings on both sides of the block.

Rub rub rub!

Several barrages hit the houses and buildings.

Smoke and dust filled the heads of the soldiers.

Some soldiers couldn't help but want to cough, but they held it back!

Slashing his right palm towards the building, a Japanese officer suddenly shouted: "Team 1, search the building in front!"

The next moment, dozens of little devils emerged from behind the Type 95 light tank holding Type 38 rifles.

With a ferocious look on their faces, the Japanese soldiers headed straight towards the building defended by the third battalion to search and advance, and soon entered the fire range of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

Staring at the little Jaap downstairs, Battalion Commander Cao lowered his voice and shouted: "Machine gunner, beat me hard!"

With an order, a Maxim heavy machine gun made a loud copper sound.

At the same time, the barrels of several light machine guns protruded from hidden firing holes.

Da da da!

Rub rub rub!

For a moment, several fire snakes rushed to bite the Japanese reconnaissance team.

At the first time, the Japanese soldiers were unable to make effective tactical evasive actions.

In an instant, the Japs team was killed by the sudden crossfire!

At this moment, the Japanese's Type 95 light tank discovered the machine gun fire point of the building.

The Type 95 light tanks stopped one after another.

The next second, the four tank guns turned their directions one after another and carried out surgical strikes on the fire point!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The Japanese tanks fired very accurately, almost destroying a firepower point with one shot.

After several volleys were fired, the machine gun fire points of the third battalion misfired one after another!

Even so, the third battalion still had two light machine guns that were not destroyed by the Japanese tanks.

However, all the machine gunners were killed in the gunfire.

Lowering his head to avoid the tank cannons, Battalion Commander Cao shouted urgently: "First company commander, move the machine gun position quickly, the little devil's tank cannons have almost destroyed our machine guns!"

After agreeing, the first company commander hurriedly picked up the light machine gun and retreated to the fourth floor!

Backup machine gun positions have been arranged on the fourth floor in advance, where the shooting range is wider, and the Japanese tank gun cannot pose an effective threat to targets at high altitudes due to its limited shooting angle.

In other words, the machine gun firepower of the third battalion can once again show its capabilities.
