Chapter 109: The Fierce Battle of the River Bridge (7)
Yang Ling was sneaking in the darkness. The broken rubble and debris on the ground didn't seem to have any effect on him. He didn't seem to be walking fast, but the soldiers following him were panting.
Many places in the town were set alight by the incendiary bombs brought in by the Japanese. They were burning cracklingly, and the dancing flames were particularly dazzling in the dark night. The choking black smoke filled the town, mixed with the fire that had not yet dissipated.
Smoke.
Yang Ling did not choose to go out through the opening of the street, but got into a dilapidated house with half of the wall destroyed by bombardment. Although the thirty soldiers following him were puzzled, they did not say a word and got in immediately.
"Climb out of the window!" Yang Ling pointed to the broken window and lowered his voice to order the soldiers.
Although it was easy to walk along the street out of the town, it was unclear whether the Japs were real or where they were. If the Japs deployed machine guns at the intersection, they would definitely be a target as soon as they walked out, so Yang Ling chose to drill through the window.
The window was not big. Yang Ling handed the rifle to the person behind him. He held the edge of the window with both hands and climbed out first. After landing lightly, he immediately pulled out the bayonet on his waist and squatted on guard. After making sure that there was no danger, he called out to the others.
People crawled out.
The thirty soldiers were all veterans who had retired from the front line and then been organized into groups. They were able to crawl out alive from the pile of corpses, so they were certainly not those stupid new recruits who automatically alerted the surroundings without any instructions as soon as they landed.
The clear light of the moon shrouded the earth, and the light was dim. The field of vision was blurry for about twenty meters, and nothing could be seen. It was even more dangerous for Yang Ling and the others. Who knew where the Japanese were hiding.
"Follow me five meters away and spread out -" Yang Ling didn't want to be blamed by the Japanese, so he walked in front with a rifle in his hand, while thirty veterans spread out and fell behind him in the distance.
meter location.
The reason why Yang Ling made this arrangement was that he wanted to be the vanguard. Once he encountered any situation, the people behind him would have time to react.
Yang Ling's figure was stretched out on the ground by the cold moonlight. They followed the weeds and headed straight to the west side of the town. Yang Ling guessed that if the Japanese didn't withdraw, there must be someone left on the west side.
The group of people sneaked carefully in the dark night. When they were still a few hundred meters away from the west exit of the town, Yang Ling suddenly squatted down and made a stop gesture behind him.
These veterans had been staring intently at Yang Ling who was walking at the front. When they saw Yang Ling stop, they immediately squatted down and nervously looked around, but there were weeds and swaying trees everywhere, and it was dark.
Can't see anything clearly.
Yang Ling listened intently, put the rifle in his hand gently on the ground, then pulled out the bayonet from his waist and held it in his hand, and moved toward a rock in front of him like a cheetah pouncing on prey.
The veterans also saw Yang Ling's movements through the moonlight. They made no sound and aimed their guns at Yang Ling who was covering the situation. They knew that Yang Ling had discovered the situation.
Two Japanese riflemen were hiding behind a big rock, their guns pointed at the main road at the west exit of the town. If anyone inside wanted to break out, they would not be able to get past them.
Yang Ling's steps were very light, and there was almost no sound when he stepped on the soft grass. As the captain of the Falcon Squadron in his previous life, he was able to control his breathing rate very well, and then allowed his body to blend with the environment.
The two Japanese riflemen did not notice Yang Ling approaching from behind. When they were still a few meters away from the Japanese soldiers, Yang Ling pounced on them without hesitation.
The two Japanese soldiers lying behind the rocks found themselves knocked down by a black shadow before they could react. The cold light of the bayonet flashed, and a blood line appeared in the throat of one of the Japanese soldiers, and then gradually expanded, and blood poured out.
When it came out, the Japanese soldiers covered their throats in fear and wanted to speak, but their mouths were so big that they couldn't make a sound, and blood poured out from their mouths.
The bayonet that slashed across the Japs neck continued unabated, and directly penetrated into the heart of another Japs. The Japs soldiers wanted to scream, but were already held down by Yang Ling, and his mouth was sealed tightly.
His legs kept kicking, and he died within a minute.
After making sure that the two Japs were all gone, Yang Ling released his hand covering the Japs' mouths, stretched out his head and looked outside to observe.
Yang Ling likes to use reverse thinking to observe the surrounding environment. His vision is very vicious. He will not let go of any place where he thinks it is suitable to ambush the Japanese soldiers. After some investigation, he has identified several locations where the Japanese soldiers are.
He touched the grenade on the dead Japanese soldier and retreated.
"There are Japanese ambush at the intersection ahead. There are not many of them. We are working in groups of five. Each group is responsible for solving one area. Is there any problem?" Yang Ling summoned the five temporary team leaders and spoke in a lowered voice.
"No problem!" The five temporary team leaders responded.
"The first group will deal with the Japs lying behind the field ridge over there, and the second group will deal with the Japs machine guns behind the slope..."
Soon Yang Ling assigned all the tasks. Although these soldiers were all veterans on the battlefield, Yang Ling still did not forget to give one final warning: "Do not shoot to alert the other Japanese unless absolutely necessary. Use bayonets as much as possible."
Solve the battle."
There were six people in each group. After receiving the order, they crawled towards their respective goals, crawling on the ground like squirming insects. However, this was related to their lives, so everyone was extremely cautious.
Try not to make any noise.
The Japanese lieutenant placed few Japanese soldiers at the west exit of the town, just an infantry detachment. However, he also equipped two additional machine guns behind the slopes and field ridges. As long as the defenders in the town wanted to break out, their firepower could definitely suppress them.
.
The Jaap soldiers kept their eyes fixed on the rolling black rocks in the direction of the town, not noticing the danger coming from behind.
The six veterans in the first group lay down in the wet field, their chests already covered in sticky mud, but they were already within ten meters of the Japanese.
The two Japanese riflemen lying behind the field ridge also heard the movement behind them and turned to look behind them.
"Go!" The leader of the first group roared, jumped up, and rushed forward like a tiger pouncing on prey. The distance of ten meters was only a few seconds, and the Japanese was thrown to the ground before he could react.
Then there was a pop and the bayonet was pierced.
The movement on the ridge immediately attracted the Japanese who were ambushing elsewhere. When they were about to stick their heads out to see what was going on, the people behind them had already pounced on them, and then there was bayonet and hand-to-hand combat.
"Ah!" The shrill scream was particularly sudden in the dark night. A soldier missed and instead of stabbing the Japanese to death, the fierce Japanese took the knife away and stabbed him in the back.
Several soldiers around him hurriedly rushed forward and knocked the Japanese down. Several bayonets were inserted into the enemy's body, and the Japanese was stabbed to pieces, leaving him completely dead.
All fifteen Japs were eliminated. Although there were some minor mistakes along the way, it was a complete victory.
"Pack up the ammunition, let's go to the east!" After taking out a Japanese infantry squad in the west, Yang Ling grabbed a machine gun and greeted the soldiers.
The soldiers used to be suppressed and beaten by the Japs, watching their comrades die one by one and helpless. Now, following Yang Ling, they easily eliminated the Japs in an infantry unit. They were very excited. Except for one wounded soldier who stayed in place, the others
