The things that have tempered them have been revealed. If they have the power to deal with a small detachment of the Japanese army, it will be a big deal.
During the period of time they were delayed on the road, the battle in Qiaojiazhai became more and more intense. The reinforcement company launched no less than five attacks on the Japanese firepower points, and only knocked out the machine gun firepower point of one of the Japanese forward positions. They paid for this
One platoon suffered casualties, and the remaining two platoons firmly occupied the Japanese forward positions and fired at the Japanese who counterattacked the forward positions.
The Japanese army's offensive was fierce, and the grenade shells fell continuously on the position, erupting a series of roars.
"The little Japs are here again."
In the dim night, a Japanese detachment, more than ten people, launched a counterattack toward the forward position along the eaves on both sides of the street. The first one discovered was a soldier from the third platoon and the first squad. He turned around and shouted, and was shocked to find that behind him
A group of soldiers had been killed by Japanese grenade launchers.
Crouching on both sides of the street were two Japanese grenade launchers. Holding the grenade launchers, they aimed at the position occupied by the Chinese army and started shelling round after round.
The grenade shells were dropped on the position almost for free. The forward position could not be defended, so they had no choice but to retreat into the houses.
The first platoon was responsible for blocking the door, while the third platoon occupied the second floor, using the shooting holes opened by the Japanese soldiers themselves to shoot at the Japanese soldiers shrouded in the dusk.
The first platoon leader was a smart man. He knew in his heart that once the Japanese army captured the house, all of them would die here, so he immediately ordered the second and third squads to fight out and occupy the houses on both sides of the street.
The battle was very fierce, and the two sides engaged in fierce street fighting on a long street that was 100 meters long.
On the other side of the alley, he crossed the broken wall and entered a private house. Xia Yuan lit a cigarette and squinted at the situation ahead and the houses on both sides of the street, which had the charm of an ancient city.
This is not the center of Luodian Town. The houses are low and squat, and as far as the eye can see, there are few two-story houses. The Japanese are very smart and occupy almost all the two-story houses near Qiao's house.
Carry out simple reinforcement to build a very strong machine gun firepower point and defensive fortress.
Qiaojiazhai, in particular, became the center of the Japanese defense. It was very difficult for the national army to penetrate from the surrounding areas.
"Scholar, how many cannonballs are there?"
If you want to take down Qiaojiazhai, in addition to your own efforts, other troops also need to work together. The grenade in the scholar's arms is an important weapon to tear apart the Japanese defense line.
"Platoon leader, there are only ten coins left. One dropped on the road and I can't find it." The scholar responded to him.
"Ten cigarettes are enough." Xia Yuan took two puffs of cigarette, threw it on the ground and stamped it out: "The Japanese army is attacking the two-story building directly in front of us. Old Zhao, take Zheng Dayong over first and kill him.
The machine guns are set up, there are our troops at that position."
"Okay." Zhao Shiguo kicked Zheng Dayong, and the two rushed out of the house with machine guns, got into the dusk, and disappeared into the dark alley.
"The four of us will attack the Japanese positions later." Xia Yuan checked the bullets in the bullet clip and counted the grenades on his body.
There are still seventy-nine rounds of bullets left, and only three Japanese-style grenades are left. The number of grenades is not large, but it is not a problem. The battlefield is full of Japanese corpses, and it can be replenished by the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Fight to feed war.
"Walk!"
After observing the general situation, Xia Yuan led him to the street, using the cover of the ruins to explore forward.
After passing through a war zone, the noise in the ruins made Xia Yuan stop suddenly. He held a gun and signaled Lao Lei and the others to stay on guard. He and the scholar held a gun and drilled through the window of the hill of rubble.
Under the roof beam, he saw a national soldier covered in blood.
His chest heaved violently, he murmured from his mouth, the whites of his eyes moved, and when he heard the movement at the window, his dark hands touched the ground, trying to touch his gun, but his gun fell far away.
Location.
His lower body was pressed by the beams, and there were iron bars on the beams that penetrated his thighs and nailed him to the ground.
"Chinese." Xia Yuan said after seeing the soldier's uniform clearly.
When the man heard Xia Yuan's voice, his eyes regained some color, and his mouth made a grunting sound. Xia Yuan slid down from the rubble, reached out to hold the broken beam, and quickly approached with a gun.
The man in front of him looked extremely miserable. His body was pierced by three bullets, his thighs were nailed to the ground, and he was holding on until now.
The chapped lips squirmed, "Water, water."
The scholar behind him came in and saw the soldier's appearance. He couldn't bear it. He took out the water bottle from his waist and was about to fill him with water. Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him and looked at the blood under the soldier's body: "He has suffered such a serious injury.
He is injured and the blood in his body is almost drained. If you give him water, it will only make him die faster."
The scholar was puzzled, but Xia Yuan did not explain much.
The quality of the national army was uneven. Many of them were strong men captured from the countryside. They had no experience in dealing with the battlefield and no knowledge of first aid. Many of the wounded suffered excessive blood loss and became thirsty. The unsuspecting soldiers fed them water and soon they were relieved.
, these wounded people died.
You cannot drink water if you have lost too much blood. Drinking water will cause death.
The soldier in front of him was hanging with no breath left. Xia Yuan stopped the scholar and asked: "Your injury is too serious. I can't save you. If you have anything else to say, just tell me. If you want to
I can help you tell the person."
Facing these soldiers on the front line, Xia Yuan always maintained the utmost kindness.
"I, my name is Ding Kaijin, I killed, I killed four Japanese soldiers, that's enough... Let me drink water, I, I know that drinking water will kill me, drink, take a sip.
"
Xia Yuan looked at his charred face, sighed silently, and nodded to the scholar.
The scholar carefully fed him a big mouthful.
Ding Kaijin moistened his chapped lips and asked tremblingly: "Yes, is there any smoke?"
"Yes." The scholar had a cigarette in his pocket, took one out and put it in Ding Kaijin's mouth. He struck a match and lit it. Ding Kaijin took two puffs and his eyes gradually lost focus. The cigarette on his mouth tilted and fell to the ground.
On the ground.
"Platoon leader." The scholar raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan.
"Let's go. Who knows when we will end up lying here like him."
"Platoon commander, if I lie here like this one day and you want to shoot me, I don't want to just wait to die."
"Um."
...
"You brat, run faster. You are running so slowly with a gun on your shoulder. If the Japanese are chasing you, you will be chased to death."
Zhao Shiguo, carrying a light machine gun and loaded with ammunition, started running along the alley.
Zheng Dayong was breathing heavily from behind, throwing his legs away, and ran fast, but he couldn't catch up with Zhao Shiguo. The two rushed out of the alley and ran to the street. Zheng Dayong saw Zhao Shiguo rushing to the left, his eyes
A glare.
"Old Zhao, Japanese devils, Japanese devils."
Bang bang bang.
The gun rang out, and bullets flew over and hit the wall behind Zhao Shiguo. He was startled into a cold sweat. When he realized that he had run to the wrong place, Zhao Shiguo chased Zheng Dayong with a light machine gun. The two
People turned into the alley again, stepped on the broken rubble, and got into the ruins.
Using broken walls and shattered ruins as cover, they reached the two-story building occupied by the Chinese army. The sound of gunfire intensified here, and Japanese grenades continued to fall in the courtyard and on the walls.
The hole opened is as big as a person.
"Old Zhao, how are we going to get up there?"
The two men were carrying guns and hiding about ten meters away from the two-story building. In the darkness, they could clearly see that the Japanese army was attacking the two-story building. They relied on the wall as a cover and kept attacking.
Grenades were thrown into houses and the explosions were deafening.
"Go up, go up! You didn't see that the Japanese have already reached the door. If we go up now, we will fall into a trap!" Zhao Shiguo's face was ugly. It was too dark to see how many Japanese troops were attacking the two-story building.
, but it can be judged that this two-story building is definitely not allowed to go.
"Then what are we going to do? The platoon leader said that we should go support the national army brothers here." Zheng Dayong put the light machine gun on the ground and wiped the sweat from his face.
Without Xia Yuan, Zhao Shiguo didn't know what to do next.
Listening to the gunshots rang out from the two-story building, Zhao Shiguo said, "No matter what, let's go support them first, set up the machine guns outside the wall, and clear out the Japanese Japs outside the wall first."
"good!"
The two took action immediately.
The situation of the two-story building was not good. The Japanese army's firepower was very fierce. They used grenades to destroy the outer wall. The already fragile wall was shattered, making it impossible for a row of soldiers to rely on the outer wall to shoot at the Japanese soldiers outside the wall.
The Japanese grenades kept falling on the damaged walls. The wooden houses were badly broken, and some even burned, emitting choking smoke.
"Platoon leader, let's withdraw. The Japanese's firepower is too fierce. They control the perimeter. We can't hide behind the bunker at all." The squad leader's face was blackened by the smoke and he kept coughing.
"No, we can't withdraw. We paid huge casualties to knock down the Japanese's forward positions. It's absolutely impossible to abandon the forward positions and retreat now." The platoon leader looked ugly and asked loudly: "Two
Where are Squadron 1 and Squad 3? Do they control the outer positions?"
"Class 2 and Class 3 rushed out, but there was no sound. I don't know where they went." The squad leader said suddenly, "Could they have run away?"
"You bastard Huang Xingsong, if you say such depressing words again, believe it or not, I will shoot you." The platoon leader would never believe that No. 20 members of the second and third squads ran away so neatly.
The first squad leader smiled bitterly: "Platoon commander, I definitely didn't say anything discouraging, but you can see the current situation. The second and third squads don't have defenses on both sides at all."
"Just wait, I'll take someone to take a look." The platoon leader called two people. As soon as they rushed downstairs, the sound of light machine gun fire was heard outside. After listening carefully, it turned out to be the Japanese army's crooked attack.
, not the Czech style of the national army.
His heart sank.
In the yard, a living soldier hid in a narrow corner, using wooden boards to cover the shrapnel flying after the Japanese artillery shells fell. He saw the Japanese soldiers outside the wall falling to the ground one by one, and he immediately became surprised, "They are our people."
, Platoon Commander, our people have arrived."
He rushed into the house and told the platoon leader about the situation outside.
Sure enough, the two crooked handles clicked for a while, and there was much less movement of the Japanese attacking outside.
"First squad leader, take the men and fight them out." Seeing this, the first platoon leader immediately understood that the opportunity had come and immediately gave the order. Then he rushed outside with two people to look for the second and third squads, but there was no one nearby.
See the figures of Class 2 and Class 3.
His heart sank.
Is it true that all the people in the second and third classes ran away as the first squad leader said?
The squad leader was leading seven or eight soldiers to clean up the Japanese troops outside the wall. Then he met Zheng Dayong and Zhao Shiguo. The squad leader stepped forward and said happily: "Brother, you guys came just in time."
"It's okay, these little devils must be killed." Zhao Shiguo asked him again: "How is the situation now?"
"We occupied the forward position of the Japanese, but the second and third squads are missing, otherwise we would have cleared out the Japanese outside." A squad leader squatted on the ground and ordered a soldier to stare at the street.
Let the Japs get closer, and then stare at the two of them.
"Hey, I recognize you guys, what's your name, Xia?"
"Xia Yuan." Zhao Shiguo reminded.
"Yes, yes, where is your platoon leader?" The squad leader patted his head and asked again.
"Our platoon leader has taken his men to fight the Japanese in front. Let us come over to reinforce you." Zhao Shiguo said, "How is the situation in front?"
"We are not optimistic. What we captured was the Japanese army's forward position, and we suffered huge casualties. In front, was the Japanese army's rear position, with several light machine guns and heavy machine guns looking at it, forming a crossfire."
The squad leader squatted on the ground, pointed forward, and continued: "We had a platoon that fought several times without being defeated. It suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat."
After a pause, he asked again: "How many people did your platoon leader bring with him?"
Zhao Shiguo thought for a while and said, "Three people."
"Three...three people!?" The squad leader was startled and looked unbelievable: "Three people went to attack the Japanese positions. Are you, the platoon leader, joking?"
"Four people to be exact."
"Four people can't do it. The crossfire of the Japanese devils is too fierce. Let alone four people, even forty people can't defeat them." A squad leader stared with disbelief in his eyes.
"How about fixing it?" Zheng Dayong asked.
"I have no choice but to pray that nothing happens to your platoon leader."
"First squad leader!!"
A platoon leader came over with his people.
"Platoon leader, these are Xia Yuan's soldiers." The squad leader said happily.
"That sharpshooter!?" The platoon leader glanced at the two men and nodded, "It was you who saved us. Thank you very much. You came just in time."
The first platoon leader thanked him and said: "First squad leader, I didn't find the second and third squad leaders. I guess as you said, they probably retreated."
