After entering the Japanese machine gun bunker, two soldiers were sitting on the ground, sipping soup, and the air was filled with fragrance.
The seventh squad leader glanced around and found that, as the two soldiers said, there were many Japanese weapons and equipment here. Helmets were placed on the ground, guns and ammunition were piled in a pile, and food was cooking on the fire, steaming.
The aroma is tangy.
"Xu Yingyang, squad leader of the seventh squad of the fourth company, are you attacking the east side?" Xu Yingyang asked.
"Well, sit down and eat something to cushion your stomach first." Xia Yuan finished the last mouthful of soup, burped comfortably, and pointed to the opposite side.
"No, I'll eat it after the Japanese's positions are conquered." Xu Yingyang shook his head: "If the Japanese's positions are not conquered, I won't be able to sit on the ground, and I won't be able to live without food."
The veteran said: "This is hypocrisy. The Japanese have not discovered it yet. Now, if you have a full meal, you can fight the little Japanese. If you fight hungry, you will not be able to defeat them."
Xia Yuan admired him and pointed at the guns and ammunition behind him casually and said: "You can take these things as you like. I have just eaten seventy percent full. When I am full, I will attack the Japanese positions."
"Thank you!" Xu Yingyang decided in her heart and waved her hand, indicating to the soldiers behind her to change their weapons and equipment.
It is recognized and unquestionable that the Japs have good guns. After replacing the Type 38 rifle, each soldier carries thirty rounds of bullets. The Japs have a lot of bullets. Each soldier carries one hundred and two rounds.
After ten rounds, when Xia Yuan killed them, they had just consumed a very small part of the ammunition.
There were thousands of captured rifle bullets, piled into a pile, and the yellow-orange bullets shone brightly in the firelight.
Even if one person takes away thirty rounds, there is still a small pile left, which is a considerable amount.
Xia Yuan was very generous, "Take them all away. Thirty rounds is too few. If you want to fight the Japanese, don't charge blindly. Just shoot. If you want to fight, just hit them hard."
He couldn't take these bullets with him anyway. Even if he was equipped with Japanese bullet clips, he could still take away a few hundred rounds. Besides, the bullets were not valuable, not as valuable as the Type 38 rifle.
He made money because he planned to recruit troops in Jiading. With so many troops defeated, it was somewhat unjustifiable not to raise a team.
According to his estimation, he could raise a reinforced company no matter what.
Although it won't play a decisive role in the entire Songhu battlefield, it can at least make him feel like a fish in water on the Songhu battlefield.
Xu Yingyang thanked him and gave the remaining bullets to veterans with better marksmanship first, while some recruits kept thirty rounds of bullets.
Afterwards, Xu Yingyang took them outside to prepare, leaving only Xia Yuan and the veteran in the trenches.
Perhaps it was the enthusiasm of Xu Yingyang and others in fighting, or perhaps what Xu Yingyang said just now, that made the veteran feel uneasy and uncomfortable even while eating.
"If you want to go out, you can go out first and wait for me outside." Xia Yuan ate leisurely, but he was not in a hurry.
It had only been an hour since they had captured the Japs' forward positions, and the night had just darkened. The fighting outside was still fierce, with a few small attacks that would not stop.
He has enough time to act.
Walking out of the trenches, Xu Yingyang and a dozen soldiers were repairing the trenches and transporting weapons and ammunition. Seeing Xia Yuan coming out, Xu Yingyang said: "I heard from Lao Quan that you are very powerful. It was you who took down this position. He won it all
I didn't even fire my gun, I just followed you and picked up the leaks, killing four or five Japanese soldiers. I'd like to ask for your help later."
Xia Yuan waved his hand: "My target is the Japanese machine gun firepower point. I will take down the front position. Later, you only need to attract the Japanese firepower from the front. Leave the rest to me."
While eating, he thought of a countermeasure.
Xu Yingyang led the troops and fought against the Japanese. He then circled around to the Japanese's flanks and used grenades to attack the Japanese on the ground. The Japanese would never be able to hold on.
There were very few Japanese troops left in front of them. Most of the troops were sent to the east side for defense. Xia Yuan only made visual observations. The Japanese troops directly in front were about a small team, about forty or fifty people, who had previously been sent to the forward position.
The support was wiped out by them and they have not yet returned. It is estimated that this Japanese army did not expect that their people were already dead.
Xia Yuan squinted his eyes, observed the surrounding terrain, and then said: "The Japanese like to use artillery bombardment when fighting. Their grenades are very powerful. Don't let your people gather together. It's best to spread out. Six
If you walk alone, the Japanese grenades will not cause many casualties to you."
"Thanks for the reminder." Xu Yingyang squatted on the ground and stared for a long time, but couldn't make out anything. Looking at Xia Yuan's appearance, he seemed to know the Japanese positions well.
"You have enough ammunition, so don't rush forward. Wait for me to go around from the flank and blow up the Japanese machine gun fire points and other things, and then you can rush forward again."
After hearing this, Xu Yingyang felt a little uneasy: "Would it be too risky for you to go alone? I'll give you a few people."
"Since I can lead the veteran alone to knock down the Japs' positions, I can lead a dozen or so of you to beat up the Japs in front."
Xia Yuan was the best at positional warfare, especially at night. He was like a fish in water. Even if the Japanese army brought over howitzers, they wouldn't be able to use them.
His positional warfare experience was maxed out when he went to Shangganling. The several battles he experienced after that were nothing compared to Shangganling.
As for the Japs' positional warfare, that is even more childish. The Japs are now hiding and not attacking, so the initiative is in his hands. Coupled with night vision, the position is so big that even if he can touch the Japs' faces
, they may not be able to discover it.
This is where his confidence lies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! During the blocking battle during the day, he defeated the Japanese infantry, but could not defeat their artillery, but this was not necessarily the case at night.
The action begins.
The veteran wanted to follow Xia Yuan. He said he was following because he wanted to learn from Xia Yuan in fighting. Xia Yuan's combat experience was very rich, which he could not see in the squad leader. The Japanese were very powerful, but in front of him, that
Just like a little kid.
One person took down a position without any support or any help. He didn't even fire a shot, just relying on grenades.
And when the Japanese did it themselves, it is estimated that when the Japanese soldiers behind heard the sound of the grenade, they would also think that it was a grenade thrown by their own people.
The most important point is that he believed that by following Xia Yuan in the war, he would not only be able to kill the Japanese, but also survive.
The battle on the east side intensified, and the Chinese and Japanese sides suffered heavy losses. However, the battle on the west side had not yet begun. Commander Qiu of the 401st Regiment stood on the top of the ruins of the wall, observing the battle on the other side of the river with a telescope. For a moment, "West
The attack on the other side should have failed. Go ahead and send another company to try to cross the river."
"yes!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, gunshots were heard from the west. Commander Qiu immediately adjusted the focus of the telescope and looked to the west. He could vaguely see the muzzle flash, which alerted the Japanese troops on the river bank. Machine guns rang out and rifles rang out.
The national troops in the west crossed the river and fought with the Japanese.
"It's done. As long as it's done, it can reduce the pressure on the troops on the east side. It's best to knock down the Japanese positions."
Commander Qiu was still worried. He stood on the wall and observed the battle situation on the front line. He did not even go to the headquarters.
The 401st Regiment had gone through so many battles and suffered heavy casualties. Even after resting for a few days in Jiading and recruiting new soldiers, it was still not full strength. Many soldiers came to the front line with injuries, and these wounded were placed on the front line.
In the rear, once there are not enough people in the front, they have to take over.
It was quite difficult to organize two battalions of troops, but what he didn't expect was that the two battalions of troops would be consumed so quickly. The battle started at eight o'clock and has only lasted three hours.
The strength of each battalion has been depleted. Especially when crossing the river, only one-third of the battalion has reached the other side of the river. If they cannot defeat the Japanese position and they want to withdraw, the success rate is very slim.
Commander Qiu's hands were shaking. If he couldn't defeat him, he would really have to send the wounded soldiers to the battlefield.
What does it mean for a regiment to send wounded soldiers to the battlefield?
No one knows better than him.
However, the battle in the western position went more smoothly than Commander Qiu expected.
Xia Yuan relied on his terrifying grenade-throwing skills to blow up the Japanese troops on the ground. The battle only lasted half an hour. Under Xu Yingyang's dull eyes, they successfully rushed to the rear position of the Japanese.
When they rushed to the trench, they saw the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the wounded soldiers still lying in the trenches. Before they had time to retreat, the veterans rushed over and ended the lives of the wounded Japanese soldiers with a bayonet.
"Hurry up and get your people into the trenches and prepare to fight. The Japanese counterattack troops have arrived."
Xia Yuan rushed over. He saw the Japanese squadron moving quickly in the darkness, and soon arrived at the rear position.
The Japanese army's position was very large and their troops were spread out. In order to eliminate this small group of Japanese troops, Xia Yuan used up all the grenades on his body. Only then did he eliminate this group of Japanese troops. Now another group of Japanese troops came over, with not many troops.
There were only a dozen people, which showed that the Japanese were at the end of their rope.
"A squad of more than ten people are coming from the northeast corner. They have entered the position. Hurry up and hide your men. Form a group of two. You can take advantage when the troops are in close combat."
Xia Yuan warned, glanced at the veteran, and said: "You know the situation of the Japanese the best, so stay here to help them. I will look for opportunities alone to see if I can find any. I will give you all a grenade."
They reimbursed it."
The veteran immediately understood what Xia Yuan wanted to do. After Xia Yuan left, he said to Xu Yingyang: "We want to attract the Japanese devils, there is no need to fight them hard, unless the Japanese devils rush over, we are fighting them
If you fight, if you don't come over, just defend."
"Um!"
Xu Yingyang saw Xia Yuan's true strength and did not refute.
Xia Yuan is their strongest combat example at the moment. He was able to knock down the Japanese enemy's rear positions all because of Xia Yuan. Most of the Japanese corpses at his feet were killed by him alone, even if they killed them.
All the injured were injured by Xia Yuan.
With a commander with such a strong fighting ability, they just need to obey orders quietly and not cause any trouble.
Sure enough, after a while, a detachment of Japanese troops came over quickly along the communication trench for reinforcements. They were divided into two groups, each of six, and moved along the trench in the direction of Xu Yingyang. After a while, they collided with Xu Yingyang's soldiers.
, the two sides met in the trench, and the atmosphere was tense. The Japanese soldiers responded very quickly. Due to the narrowness of the trench, a Japanese soldier rushed over with a Type 38 rifle.
Immediately, a Chinese soldier rushed forward to fight, but his spear stabbing skills were far inferior to that of the Japanese. The Japanese were quite cunning and stabbed the Chinese soldier in the abdomen very quickly. The soldier instinctively used his gun to go to the head, but he didn't know it.
Falling into the Japanese devil's scheme.
But he saw the Japanese ghost shooting, and the bayonet emitting cold light stabbed directly towards his heart.
Chi!
There was a solid sound of entering the flesh, and the moment the bayonet was pulled out, the bright red blood soaked into his clothes in an instant, and the strength of his body seemed to be drained and disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, stupid Chinese people!"
The Japanese soldier spoke broken Chinese, which was actually Manchurian, and reached out to the national soldiers behind him: "Come here, I want to duel with you!"
Bang!
With a gunshot, blood splattered on the Japanese soldier's chest. In the dark night, a figure quickly floated over the trench and disappeared. A grenade flew over from the dark night and landed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers with a bang.
Go up and blow up the heads of these Japanese devils.
The national army soldiers reacted, and one soldier shouted: "Come on!"
The national soldiers behind him rushed forward with guns in hand and wiped out all the Japanese soldiers who were stunned by a grenade.
"After one group was eliminated, the other group should have moved towards the west. A small group of Japanese troops was so aggressive that they actually split into two groups. They wanted to annihilate all the attacking national troops, haha."
Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and locked his eyes on the Japanese soldiers moving quickly in the trenches. He stepped on the bumpy ground and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers quickly.
In front of the Japanese army, there were already a large number of Chinese soldiers waiting quietly. They guarded several places where the Japanese army might appear, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. Their helmets were washed clean by the river water, but after the battle just now,
His whole body was covered with black mud again.
With dust on his face, he squatted on the blockade, holding his rifle in both hands, quietly waiting for the Japanese to arrive.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the trench in front, and with a flash of artillery fire, the soldiers in front saw it. It was a Japanese soldier wearing an khaki military uniform and a helmet with a mesh rope.
