The moment the lights dimmed, Ergou jumped up and rushed toward the turret with the explosive pack in his arms.
The target was more than 200 meters away, and Ergou hoped to rush under the turret before the enemy could react.
But just after running for a while, the searchlight on the roof of the turret came on. The beam of light immediately locked onto Ergou's running figure, and then bullets rained down in Ergou's direction.
The two dogs dodged a somersault and hid in the pit. The second and third Demoman who followed them couldn't avoid it and were knocked down in a pool of blood on the spot.
After a gunshot, a plume of green smoke came out of the searchlight and was extinguished.
Ergou didn't need to look back to know that this was Xiao Dongbei's masterpiece.
Xiaodongbei certainly lived up to its reputation. The searchlight illuminated the bottom of the turret at a steep angle from the top of the turret. Xiaodongbei could only see a little of the side from its position, but it could be blown up with one shot.
Then there was another gunshot, and the Japanese machine gun went silent.
This surprised Ergou even more, because it was a machine gun that locked Ergou's position in the turret.
If you want to destroy it, you have to put the bullet through the perforation hole and hit the machine gunner behind it... This is not something ordinary people can do, especially if you need to accurately determine the position of the machine gunner.
This was not difficult for Wang Xuexin. All he did was check the position of the two dogs and the position of the machine gun's perforation.
A straight line can be obtained from these two positions. If the Japanese machine gunner wants to lock the two dogs, he must be on this straight line.
Ergou didn't hesitate. The moment the machine gun misfired, he jumped out of the pit and headed towards the gun tower in an irregular diagonal line.
This was taught by Xie Baoqing.
"Never let the enemy control your movements, otherwise you will become an innocent soul under his gun!"
Ergou was a little doubtful of this statement at this time, because even so, a few bullets still grazed his shoulders...but this may be because the enemy's reaction was very quick.
Finally, Ergou rushed to a position more than 20 meters away from the turret and lurked. He was ready to take a breath before rushing through the last section.
But just as Ergou lay down, a piece of arc-shaped metal caught his eye under the moonlight.
It's a landmine.
Maybe it was because of the rain, or maybe the wind blew away the thin soil covering it. It was showing off one corner and showing off its power in front of the two dogs, as if to warn the two dogs not to get close to the turret.
Ergou looked behind him and saw that the demolition team that came up from another team had fallen into a pool of blood. The demolition teams that came up one after another failed to reach the fifty-meter range.
Ergou gritted his teeth, jumped up from his hiding place and rushed towards the gun tower at full speed...
Wang Xuexin only realized that the Japanese had planted landmines in front of the blockhouse when Ergou was blown over.
This situation is rare, because the area around the turrets is usually a space for Japanese activities.
But this is not surprising, because the gun tower here is not just a gun tower, it has become a part of the defense system of the military station. This side of the gun tower is regarded as outside the defense circle and then mines are laid.
When he saw Ergou stepping on a landmine and being blown up, Wang Xuexin said to himself that it was over. The Japanese defenses were very tight, and they would have to pay heavy casualties if they tried to break through.
At this moment, Wang Xuexin was a little unsure whether his suggestion to Li Yunlong to attack the military station was right or wrong.
However, the next second, Wang Xuexin found in the sniper scope that Ergou was still crawling forward. To be precise, he was reaching forward with his hands.
Wang Xuexin knew why he did this.
There are landmines everywhere in front of you. If you just crawl forward, the next time you hit a mine, Ergou's head will be blown off.
If you reach forward with your hand, you will have another chance.
only……
With a "boom", another landmine exploded, and Ergou shuddered and stopped moving.
Just when everyone thought Ergou had died, Wang Xuexin noticed that he was struggling to pull out the explosive pack from under his body and lit the fuse.
Then, Ergou suddenly stood up with his only remaining leg, jumped towards the turret with the explosive bag in his arms...
Wang Xuexin was shocked by Ergou's actions.
At this time, he only had one leg and one hand left, but he was able to make full use of them, holding the explosive bag with his hands and jumping towards the target with his feet.
Even before, he had calculated that he still had a "redundant" hand, so he used this hand to detect mines to increase the chance of getting closer to the gun tower.
This is indeed true, because it is death anyway, so why not use all resources as much as possible to increase the chance of success?
The problem is that these resources are his limbs, his hands and feet.
How many people can use their own four-glue as a resource so calmly?
Even if you know you are going to die, you are more likely to have another extreme thought: If you are going to die anyway, why don’t you care about other people? Why not let yourself die more comfortably and simply? After all, you have given your life and tried your best.
It’s worthy of everyone behind you!
But Ergou didn't think so. He was still trying his best to complete the task at the last moment, taking the blowing up of the gun tower as his own responsibility, or as the brothers of Heiyun Village explaining their past misdeeds, and also as a responsibility to himself.
Account.
So, under everyone's surprised eyes, Ergou used his last strength to stuff the explosive bag into the hole of the gun and blocked it with his chest.
His only leg was pointed forward almost at a 60-degree angle, firmly supporting his crumbling torso.
There was a loud "boom", and the turret exploded from the inside in a burst of fire.
The soldiers shouted, jumped up from their hiding places with rifles in hand, and rushed forward like a tide.
When Wang Xuexin passed the position of the two dogs, he only saw one foot still pointing forward.
The battle ended quickly. The Japs only had two squads of more than 100 people in the military station, and the other 300 or so were all puppet troops.
It would be okay if the puppet soldiers were able to shoot from a distance, or they had to resist as much as possible in order to save their lives. But when fighting in close combat, they realized that the situation was over and they did not have the courage to fight until the last moment, so they all raised their hands and surrendered.
Wang Xuexin and his men approached a carriage with guns raised. He stopped Hu Zi who was about to pull a grenade and throw it inside.
This was not because Wang Xuexin wanted to hide, but because he was a little curious. One of the Japanese soldiers he had killed seemed to want to throw a grenade into the carriage.
This shows that there are some important things in the carriage, and the Japanese do not want these things to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
ammunition?
machine?
Or equipment?
However, Wang Xuexin was disappointed to find that there were actually Japanese soldiers inside.
"Come out and surrender!" Wang Xuexin raised his gun and shouted at the carriage in Japanese: "Otherwise, the carriage will be blown up!"
"We surrender, we surrender!" A panicked shout came from inside the carriage.
Wang Xuexin thought to himself, that's not right...Why are the Japanese so afraid of death?
"Throw out the gun!" Wang Xuexin ordered.
Then, pistols were thrown out of the carriage.
Wang Xuexin's eyes lit up. He was full of pistols. So he was not an ordinary Japanese?
