The battle ahead was fierce, and the roar caused by the explosion of shells fired by the Japanese using grenade launchers never stopped from the moment the battle began.
The outpost built by Lao Qian was in an earthen house, relying on the ruins of the wall as a bunker to block the Japanese army. It consisted of four soldiers, a crooked light machine gun, and three Japanese 38-guns.
Cover rifle.
The crooked machine gun has strict requirements on weather changes. The air is extremely dull, as if it indicates rain tonight. I am sweating a lot, and my clothes are sticky and stick to my body, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Four soldiers formed an outpost position, staring at the Japanese in the distance. The Japanese's leading troops arrived first, and the light machine guns rang out, and the battle was about to break out.
Three rifles fired at the front of the Japanese army. Three or four Japanese soldiers in the front row fell down. The bullets from the machine guns swept past, making the Japanese jump to their feet and curse, or lie down on the ground, or find bunkers on the spot, or simply
Crouch on the ground and shoot.
Lao Qian was observing the battle situation on the front line from the rear, "The firepower of the little Japanese devils is really fierce. This is not the first time we have fought against them. Every time we fight, it is scary."
The outpost was torn to pieces under the bombardment of the Japanese individual grenade launchers. The Japanese support force consisted of three detachments, about a platoon of troops, equipped with six grenade launchers and a lot of artillery shells, which were deployed against Lao Qian.
The outpost was smashed down, and the tiles suddenly jumped up on the roof. The rubble was shaken by the fluctuations caused by the explosion. A huge hole was blown out of the solid wall by the small-caliber grenade. The wall was broken in an instant.
It turned into an even more dilapidated ruin.
Old Qian arched his body slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the smoke-filled outpost in the distance.
A soldier said: "They must have been killed by the Japanese artillery."
"Shut up!" Lao Qian grabbed a handful of dirt and calmed down. After the smoke dispersed for a while, the vanguard of the Japanese soldiers rushed towards the outpost with rifles with bayonets, and the movements of his hands became harder and harder.
A gunshot made his tense body suddenly relax, and he stared at the outpost in the distance.
There was another soldier who survived and was shooting at the Japanese soldiers with a 38 rifle. The bullet penetrated the body of a Japanese soldier. Other Japanese soldiers approached the position and let out a roar. They saw five or six Japanese soldiers rushing towards them.
After entering the outpost position, just when the people behind were at a loss what to do, there was a loud bang and an earth-shattering explosion came from the ruins.
Everyone was shocked.
They looked at the outpost position occupied by the Japanese army, their eyes widened, Lao Qian lay down, and his tense body relaxed, "They are worthy of the country, the Japanese devils are coming up, it is our turn, prepare to fight!"
"yes!"
Someone is working hard.
The Japanese army's offensive mode has not changed. Grenades bombard the position, and then the infantry charges. When the infantry cannot charge down, the grenadiers continue to bombard the national army's position. The firepower of the four platoons is on the Japanese army.
Under the attack of the grenade, it was vulnerable. Using the firepower point constructed with crooked handles, the Japanese only fired two waves and destroyed the firepower point.
The air was heavy and there was a thick smell of blood. The Japanese grenade launchers caused huge casualties to the Chinese troops who defended the position outside Lin's house. There were only a few troops left. After repelling two waves of Japanese attacks, only a few troops were left.
There were only three people left, and the bullets fired by the Japanese soldiers floated over their heads, mixed with the sound of friction in the air, swishing through their heads, and hitting the earthen wall behind them.
On the position they were holding, there were many corpses lying on them, all of which were their own. When they ran out of bullets, they touched the corpses of their own.
The Japanese devils wearing yellow military uniforms stood out from the dim smoke. Lao Qian was shot through the shoulder, holding the trigger with one hand and shouting: "The Japanese devils are coming up!"
The sporadic gunfire did not tear apart the ferocity of the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers who fell on the ground wailed, but it inspired the ferocity of other Japanese soldiers. They were like a group of undead who were not afraid of death, with hideous and terrifying faces, and launched an attack on Lao Qian's position.
attack.
When the Japanese army was charging, the grenade hands did not stop manipulating the grenade to attack the Nationalist positions, shattering the rubble, tearing apart the broken walls, and flying debris from the wooden gates.
Lao Qian gritted his teeth. The stinging pain in his shoulders made his temple muscles throb. The rubble rolled up by the explosion behind him kept hitting his body, causing pain. The Japanese attack made him forget the pain again. He survived.
The three formed a crude position and used rifles to suppress the charging Japanese troops with firepower.
With this little firepower, it was not easy to suppress the Japanese army. Lao Qian realized the importance of the light machine gun, but the machine gun fire point was shattered by a mortar shell from the Japanese army, and the two machine guns were silent.
"Xiao Liu, go get the machine gun, three rifles can't suppress the Japanese devils!"
Old Qian shouted at the top of his voice, struggling to pull the bolt and press the bullet with one hand. The Japanese were still very unaccustomed to using the 38 rifle. His movements were slightly sluggish, and the Japanese rushed up.
Another soldier used a grenade to temporarily withstand the Japanese attack, not only buying time for Lao Qian, but also buying time for Xiao Liu.
Old Liu ran along the ruins to the location of the machine gun firepower point, peeled off the two corpses lying on the light machine guns, held the crooked handle in his arms and fiddled with it, and found that the area where the gunshots had been fired was severely distorted.
Xiaoliu's heart skipped a beat, and when he raised his head and saw the Japanese approaching, he shouted: "Uncle Qian, the trick is broken!"
"What!"
"The crook is broken!"
Lao Qian's eyes widened in disbelief. At the critical moment, the machine gun broke down.
"Old Qian, there are no more grenades!"
The soldier who spoke was from Nagada in the Fourth Eastern Province. He had escaped from a disaster. He had been joining the national army for some time and had survived several battles. He was afraid that he might not survive this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You brat, no matter how big or small, what are you called? How can you deal with it without grenades? Fight with your life. The Japanese devils have it. I can still give it to you."
Change it?"
Lao Qian simply stopped fighting. Three rifles could not stop the Japanese. He knew it very well. He leaned on a wooden board and looked at the gray sky while reminiscing. He then turned to look at the soldiers from the Eastern Fourth Province who were speaking and stretched out his hand.
After groping in his arms for a while, he took out a grenade and threw it to him.
"One, take it, I'm dead, don't be a coward."
The sound of the Japanese charging was getting closer and closer, the cannons stopped firing, and the sound of gunfire disappeared. Only the sound of gunfire drifted from a far away direction, exploding on the plain, like the reverberation of thunder.
Xiao Liu ran over and looked at Lao Qian: "Uncle Qian."
In his arms he still held the crooked handle of the gun whose barrel had been bent by the blast.
"Just call me uncle. This is your Uncle Lei. If I die, you follow him to find Brother Xia." Old Qian saw clearly: "Follow the platoon. If you don't survive, you will even die here.
, that man surnamed Xia is a character, he alone, with a recruit, defeated the Lin family house. Our platoon, dozens of people, fought all morning without defeating him. He is very powerful, follow him, you can survive.
.”
"Uncle Qian!"
Xiaoliu's heart tightened.
"Hold me up, and remember if there is any village we are going to. The Japanese devils are not human beings. They will not spare the elderly or children. If they really occupy China, it will be over. I would rather the Red Bandits occupy China."
Lao Qian staggered to his feet, pushed Xiao Liu away with his only hand, and said: "Old Lei, take good care of Xiao Liu and take him to find the person named Xia. I will buy you some time."
I don't know when Lao Qian had three grenades strapped to his body. They were strapped in advance. It seemed that he had anticipated this battle and that they would not be able to stop the Japanese, so he was prepared in advance.
The white smoke from the grenade seems to be the passing of life.
With tears in Xiao Liu's eyes, Lao Lei grabbed him and dragged him away.
There was a boom and the sound of grenades, but there was no movement. The Japanese occupied the position held by a few soldiers led by Lao Qian. They defended Lin's house again. The Japanese squad leader ordered the grenade launcher to attack the yard of Lin's house.
Houses are bombed.
The fourth platoon commander, the remaining two machine gunners, and the deputy platoon commander hiding in the house stared with small eyes, and the roaring explosion made them feel nervous.
Then, the nearby gunfire stopped, and the four platoon commanders felt their hearts pounding. Artillery shells fell one after another in the yard. There were several explosions, and shrapnel hit the wooden door outside the hall, and the smoke drifted away.
, the deputy platoon leader cautiously poked his head out. As the gunpowder smoke drifted away, the three Japanese soldiers were slightly hunched, with their 38-inch caps on their shoulders, and their eyes staring at the surroundings of the yard.
Ladders were set up on the houses on both sides. Several Japanese soldiers climbed to the top of the guns and swept the yard with their guns. When they noticed that there was no one in the yard, they waved to the soldiers in the yard to attack the houses.
"Here we come!" The deputy platoon leader felt cold in his heart. He held the rifle tightly in his dark palm and stared at the three Japanese soldiers who entered the yard. He placed the muzzle of the gun at the corner of the window and aimed at the figure wandering in the yard.
The fourth platoon leader brought grenades, divided three of them and placed them next to the deputy platoon leader.
Then he went to deliver ammunition to the two machine gunners.
The Japanese soldiers were getting closer and closer. They walked under the eaves and did not notice the dark gun muzzle in the corner of the window. Two Japanese soldiers pushed the door open, while a Japanese soldier stared at the houses on both sides on guard.
Crunch.
The door was pushed open.
Ta-ta-ta!
The machine gun set up in the room rang out, and the two Japanese soldiers were caught off guard. Their bodies were pierced by machine gun bullets, and their clothes were stained with blood. The living Japanese soldier quickly squatted on the ground and took out a grenade from his body.
.
Bang! The gunshot from the window rang out, and the Japanese soldier fell into a pool of blood.
The Japanese troops on both sides of the wall quickly retracted, and the screams of chirping could be heard in the distance. Then the Japanese grenades were heard, and the shells fell on the houses one after another. The weather-beaten houses were not vulnerable to the shells.
The bombardment began to sway and make creaking sounds. The outer wall was basically shattered, and mud and rocks flew everywhere.
Then, the Japanese troops surrounding the wall set up a light machine gun with a crooked handle, and pointed the muzzle at the doors and windows of the first-floor house. The doors and windows were all made of wood. They were shattered to pieces under the bombardment of the artillery shells. Once the gunshots were fired, the wooden doors could not stop the unstoppable people.
The bullets that can match it, bang, bang, bang, the bullets hit the wooden doors and windows, making a dull knocking sound, and then penetrated the wooden door,
The deputy platoon leader was caught off guard and had no time to dodge. Rows of bullets struck the wooden door and scattered debris, raising dust and smoke, and then penetrated his body. Before he could dodge in time, he fell to the ground, with blood flowing behind him all over the body.
On the dusty ground.
When the fourth platoon leader ran over, the deputy platoon leader was already dead.
"The Japs are coming!" a machine gunner shouted.
Through the bullet holes in the doors and windows, the swaying figures of the Japanese soldiers appeared. This time they no longer groped forward cautiously, but quickly approached the first floor with their guns in hand. Two soldiers fired grenades and threw them into the previous Japanese soldiers.
The door opened with a bang and two explosions, and Japanese soldiers rushed in quickly with rifles in hand.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of gunshots came from the house in Lin's house and drifted far away.
Then, it gradually calmed down and everything became calm again.
Behind the Japanese army, Xia Yuan led several people through the ruined streets filled with broken rubble, stepping on the gravel and rubble on the ground, and quickly approached the Lin family residence.
The cessation of gunfire made Xia Yuan raise his head suddenly.
"The battle is over?" Zhao Shiguo stared and turned to look at Xia Yuan.
"I guess we are moving too slowly." Xia Yuan said calmly, waved his hand, and accelerated his pace. As he approached Lin's house, he found that the Japanese army was carrying the body of a Japanese soldier out of the yard.
Xia Yuan focused his gaze, "The progress is faster than I thought. I thought that the fourth platoon leader could lead the men to resist for half an hour, but I didn't expect that the battle would end so quickly."
From the time they followed them to the end of the battle, the Japanese army only spent twenty minutes. The blocking position built by Lao Qian outside could not resist the advance of the Japanese army. The Lin family home was even more difficult to attack and difficult to defend. Of course, this was from
Attacking in the direction of the main gate, there are wooden gates lined up in a row, which cannot withstand Japanese bullets at all.
At this moment, the sky is gray and dark,
The sun has set.
The fighting here lasted for a whole day.
Xia Yuan looked up at the sky and murmured: "Very good, it's getting dark and our home court has arrived. Lao Zhao, if you see that position, it's facing the Japanese gate. Go and put the machine gun on it."
He pointed in one direction, which was a broken building. The machine gun was mounted on top, so that it would not be blocked by the broken walls in the ruins.
The Japanese army also realized that after dark, the Chinese army might launch an attack on them. Therefore, only five or six Japanese soldiers were left to clean up the battlefield outside. The other Japanese soldiers quickly entered the Lin family residence and the houses on both sides of the Lin family residence.
Arrange the defense inside.
Zhao Shiguo led Zheng Da away on the front foot, and Xia Yuan and the scholar rushed outside on the back foot. They moved quickly through the ruins and got close to the six Japanese soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield outside.
