A large river lay in front of Shang Zhen and the others. According to Shang Zhen's visual inspection, this section of the Huangpu River should be more than 300 meters wide.

"We rushed here first according to the order from the army. The order given to our army from above was to hold on for three days." Wen Changqing said.

Wen Changqing was the officer who called Shang Zhen and others to stop the enemy from crossing the river. He was a battalion commander of the 67th Army.

"It doesn't seem like three days is too long for one soldier to stop the little Japs," Wang Lao Mao said.

By this time, Shang Zhen and the others had naturally introduced themselves to Wen Changqing.

Shang Zhen and the others can't even tell which army they belong to. They spend too much time wandering around in various armies.

But this is not important. The most important thing is that in the previous battle, Shang Zhen and the others won Wen Changqing's respect with their performance.

Otherwise, as a soldier, how could Mr. Wang be able to talk to a battalion commander on an equal footing?

"Do you think three days is not too long? Do you know how many Japanese troops are on the other side?" Wen Changqing asked.

"How much?" asked Mr. Wang.

"It is said that there are nearly 100,000 people in three divisions!" Wen Changqing replied.

So Shang Zhenwang, the old man who was with Wen Changqing, took a breath of cold air.

"But don't be afraid. We only need to survive for more than half an hour, and the main force will probably arrive." Wen Changqing said again.

Then he looked at Shang Zhen, who was still observing the other side of the river with a telescope.

There are already sailing boats and Japanese rubber boats gathering on the other side of the river. Now it is only a matter of minutes for the Japanese army to launch an attack here.

"It's not about how many Japanese devils we kill, the key is whether we can hold the Japanese devils back, is that what you mean?" Shang Zhen muttered.

"If you don't kill the Japanese devils, how can you hold them back?" Wen Changqing asked again.

"Captain Wen, do you have grenades?" Shang Zhen asked.

"Grenade?" Wen Changqing was stunned for a moment and replied, "How can we have that to play with?"

"There are no grenades, and there are no mortars, right?" Shang Zhen asked again, and Wen Changqing remained silent.

"Hurry up and get all our grenades, Qiao Xiong! Qiao Xiong!" Shang Zhen ordered first and then shouted, especially when he called Qiao Xiong's name, his voice became louder and louder.

Shang Zhen and the others now have a total of three grenades in their hands, all of which were captured in the previous village.

The Japanese army was besieging the three of them, He Xiangcai, Chu Xiong, and Fan Tuantian. At the same time, because the distance between the enemy and us was too close, the Japanese army did not use grenade launchers, so the three bags of grenades were left behind.

However, what made Shang Zhen regretful was that the Japanese army used canvas straps to load grenades this time, and only six grenades were installed in each one.

"Have you seen my kid's boat across the way? Can you hit the explosives onto that boat?" Shang Zhen asked.

"The first two shots will definitely not be accurate." Qiao Xiong replied.

"We need to delay the Japs on the opposite side and prevent their boats from rushing over. While the Japs' boats haven't moved yet, you can watch and fight and try not to let their boats come over." Shang Zhen said.

"Okay!" Qiao Xiong responded.

Qiao Xiong is from the Guizhou Army and has a silent temperament.

Northeastern people love to talk and communicate, which is mostly due to their lively temperament, but Guizhou people live in the mountains, are simple and calm.

However, when Qiao Xiong heard that he was asked to fire a grenade, his eyes lit up.

"I'll give you twelve bombs." Shang Zhen said again.

"Why don't you give them all to me? Are you more accurate than us?" Qiao Xiong asked in confusion.

Although the others remained silent, they also asked the same question.

Since it is admitted that Qiao Xiong can shoot accurately with a grenade, why not give Qiao Xiong all eighteen grenades?

"Are we the only ones with grenade launchers? The Japs have cannons, and I have to cover you!" Shang Zhen replied, and then called back, "Huzi, bring a bag and follow me!"

"Hurry up, there is movement on the other side of the Japanese army!" Wen Changqing shouted.

When Qiao Xiong was about to set up the grenade, Mr. Wang next to him said: "You can't fight here. If you fight with your face exposed, won't Shang Zhen give you cover in vain? Besides, just look at the other side.

If I get to you, one shot can kill you!"

What Mr. Wang said is undoubtedly true.

Not to mention that Shang Zhen provided cover for Qiao Xiong, with the Japanese army's marksmanship, he would definitely get a headshot from three hundred meters away!

"Come up here, come up here, there's a bumpkin here!" Qiu Bo shouted.

So, Qiao Xiong took the grenade, and He Xiangcai and Fan Tuandui took the two ammunition bags and ran behind the soil bag.

"The rest of the people should spread out, don't get close to them, and draw the Japanese firepower for them!" Wen Changqing also shouted.

Only a minute later, Wen Changqing saw through the telescope that the Japanese troops on the other side were really ready to start rowing, and the oarsmen were already in place.

And at this moment, there was a "boom" sound on their end, and Shang Zhen took the lead in firing the grenade.

And Shang Zhen's hit was not very accurate. Everyone saw a small splash on the river, but it was still dozens of meters away from the Japanese ship!

Then there was another "boom" sound, and this time the second grenade flew over the Japanese ship and exploded in the shallow water.

Although it didn't hit, this shot was much more reliable than Shang Zhen's shot.

Shang Zhen held the grenade with his left hand and held the trigger under the grenade with his right hand. Huzi inserted the second grenade from the top of the grenade next to him.

Shang Zhen pulled the trigger with his hand, and this time the grenade shot out with another "boom" sound.

The essence of the grenade is a light mortar, but it does not have a sight, and it all depends on the shooter's experience.

Seeing that the first grenade was approaching, Shang Zhen pressed the grenade slightly forward.

But this time, his attack was more reliable, but he still missed the target. This time, he flew over a wooden boat and exploded at the other end.

"Pull it back a little and you'll be fine!" Huzi said from the side.

"Why shrink? Run quickly!" Shang Zhen said.

He dragged the grenade down and rolled it aside regardless of the muddy and slippery ground, and the tiger hurriedly followed suit.

And they only ducked for a moment when gunshots rang out from the opposite side. Bullets flew into the position where they were just now, and a little white steam rose up. This was the result of the friction between the hot warheads and the ground.

Almost at the same time, Qiao Xiong fired the second grenade. This time Qiao Xiong hit it very accurately, and it exploded directly on the side of the Japanese sailing ship. Wen Changqing, who was observing with a telescope, could clearly see several grenades.

The Japanese soldiers gave up and threw away the wooden oars, which languished in the boat.

"Okay! Let's go ahead and blow up these idiots, and let the others shoot to cover!" Wen Changqing shouted loudly.

In the following battle, Shang Zhen held the grenade and constantly changed the firing position, while Qiao Xiong, who was hiding behind the dirt bag, smashed the grenades one by one at the Japanese wooden boat.

go.

This reflects the superiority of projectile weapons. Due to the obstruction of the earth bag, the Japanese army was attracted by the false targets created by Shang Zhen and the shooting of the Chinese army. The Japanese army ignored the real fatal killer behind the earth bag.

, all of a sudden the Japanese army had heavy firepower, including heavy machine guns, rifles and even mortars.

The Japanese army was also eager to cross the river, so they got three wooden boats. However, under the random bombardment of Qiao Xiong's grenades, the Japanese wooden boats were not able to row out.

However, the Japanese army was outnumbered. Half an hour later, the Japanese army gathered more wooden boats and dozens of rubber boats were also ready.
Chapter completed!
