Gloomy dark clouds blocked the sun, and the choking smoke filled the air wantonly. The gunshots in the town were ringing, mixed with the explosions of grenade mortars, and the smile on the Japanese captain's face became even stronger.
It was obvious that the dragnet search had reached its final stage. Through his telescope, the Chinese defenders had been compressed to North Street, where smoke from explosions rose from time to time, and thick smoke billowed. Their men were attacking.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The Japanese soldiers were clearing the streets very quickly. After they blocked the streets and drove out houses, the defenders, numbering over 100, had been completely compressed into a residential area on North Street and were resisting.
"Light the fire! Hurry!" Liu Ming, the deputy regimental deputy, is not a fool. Now they are compressed into a narrow area. The commanding heights are the Japs' machine gun groups. They have lost their room for maneuver and can only create smoke to obscure the Japs.
Sight of the machine gun crew.
Li Tiezhu led a group of people to rely on the thick courtyard wall to block the approach of the Japanese soldiers. Bullets were flying and smoke was flying. The fighting between the two sides was fierce. The guerrilla warfare had evolved into positional warfare, and the courtyard wall was a stronghold.
In several nearby yards, disgraced soldiers were throwing all kinds of wood and tattered bedding into the fire. Thick black smoke was rising, and the soot flying all over the sky was like a black snow falling.
Under the deliberate arson of the defenders, many places were set on fire. As the wood crackled and burned, the swirling black smoke spread across North Street, covering the yard and the sky, choking a group of people.
cough.
"Damn it, this is going to smoke us to death, you guys beat me first, I'll go down and get some air." Li Tiezhu was lying on the wall of the courtyard, choked to tears, and cursed as he got off the ladder.
Regiment deputy Liu Ming also had his face covered with soot. He stood on the steps and looked at Li Tiezhu who was coming down from the wall. He chuckled: "Captain Li, what about my method? The Japanese machine gunner on the roof over there has been blinded."
"Okay, you've been caught blind." Li Tiezhu pulled his hat and fanned, and went straight to the large water tank filled with water. He was cursing Liu Ming for his lack of heart. Although he blocked the sight of the Japanese machine gunner,
They also suffered.
Li Tiezhu drank several mouthfuls of cool water and felt that his lungs finally felt better. He threw his hat into the water vat to wet it, and then stood up.
"I said Deputy Liu, working so hard to create smoke is not a long-term solution. The Japanese will attack sooner or later, so we'd better break out of the encirclement as soon as possible."
"Ahem - breaking out of the encirclement is nothing. The town has been surrounded by Japanese soldiers. If you want to break out of the encirclement, you have to wait until dark." Liu Ming coughed and said.
Rumble - Large pieces of tiles crashed down like rain as Japanese grenades hit the yard, and the smoke and smoke completely turned the yard into a wonderland.
A Japanese soldier clung to the wall and sneaked to the gate of the yard. He took out a grenade and locked it, knocked it on the head and threw it towards the gate.
Wow! As the grenade expanded violently, sawdust flew off the wooden door, and a big hole was blown directly into it.
"Don't be stunned! The Japs are coming!" Liu Ming pointed the shell gun at the hole in the door and kept pulling the trigger. A corpse rolled into the door. It was a Japs soldier who wanted to rush in.
Several surrounding courtyards were also rumbling with explosions, and Japanese grenades kept flying into the courtyard along the high walls, whirling on the rubble, and then blowing up those who couldn't dodge and killing them.
But the people inside were not vegetarians. Some people picked up the grenades that rolled in and threw them back. The Japs also suffered many casualties. However, the Japs had grenades and mortars. Several walls were blown out of holes, but the Japs
They didn't dare to rush in rashly. The two sides fought fiercely around the gap and it had already entered a fever pitch.
…
The Japanese commander Ueno Murao who was surrounded outside the town held up a telescope to observe the battle situation in the town. Through the telescope, he could only see smoke and dust rising from the explosion, and rubble and gravel were constantly flying.
The view in the telescope was unclear due to the diffuse smoke, so the specific situation of the attacking and defending sides could not be seen, but judging from the sound of gunfire, their people still had the advantage.
Just when Japanese Captain Uenomurao was thinking about whether to withdraw Lieutenant Yoshino's men from a safe distance and fire a few more shots, suddenly gunfire rang out on their left side.
Bang bang bang——
"Da da da da da da-"
I don't know when two Type 96 light machine guns were set up on a small slope on the left two hundred meters away from them. At this moment, the dense bullets came like water.
Both the two Japanese artillery detachments and the Japanese soldiers standing on the hillside were stunned and had not yet reacted. How could the Chinese army appear here?
The trajectory of the machine gun bullet is like a ferocious long snake that spits out seeds, tearing up all obstacles along the way. The trajectory breaks the weeds and scatters them, and puffs of mud mist rise.
The ballistic trajectory continued to extend forward without stopping, until it penetrated one Japanese soldier, the second, and the fifth Japanese soldier until the whole body was trembling and the blood mist rose and dissipated. Then the ballistic trajectory changed to extend forward.
Swipe left.
The other ballistics jumped directly with the violent beating of the Type 96 light machine gun. The ballistics jumped irregularly, burrowing into the soil from time to time, and hitting people's bodies from time to time.
Captain Uenomurao was thrown to the ground by a Japanese soldier. The bullet trajectory swept along the Japanese soldier's body, and five or six bloody holes suddenly appeared. Warm blood flowed out along the holes, and the smell of blood wafted out.
Got up.
The two artillery detachments of the Japanese were resting in a shallow pit. They only had half a base of ammunition left. The battle in the town was coming to an end. The battle had nothing to do with them anymore, so they were very relaxed. Some of them lay on the ground and began to rest.
, they have been fighting these days, they are also human beings, and they are very tired.
At this moment, they were like naked living targets, targets of the machine gun's ballistic harvest. There was almost no need to aim, and most of them were knocked down as soon as a shuttle of bullets passed by.
Blood was splashing, smoke and dust mixed with gravel covered their bodies. The surviving Japanese artillerymen wanted to avoid like frightened rabbits, but the ferocious ballistics bit them like poisonous snakes until they fell.
Yang Ling's expression was unclear on his dusty face, but he was so calm and heart-stopping at the moment that he skillfully fired off one magazine and then loaded the second magazine that had been prepared in less than five seconds to continue.
The fire was so fast and so skillful that it made people think that the machine gun never stopped.
On the other hand, the other machine gun shooter was reduced to a supporting role. From the time the machine gun opened fire, he had defeated less than three Japanese soldiers in total, and most of the rest were harvested by the machine gun operated by Yang Ling.
Bang - one
Bang - two
This time, Liu Yidao did not use his familiar red-tasseled broadsword. Instead, he held a 38-meter rifle and called out the fleeing Japanese one by one. From time to time, some Japanese were knocked down.
Da da da da - the Japs' light machine gun also rang, and a string of bullets headed towards Yang Ling and the others with infinite arrogance. However, it only rang for less than a minute, and the Japs' shooter was killed by Liu Yidao.
Named.
There was a din of rifles and machine guns. The flying weeds and gravel were covered with bright red blood. In the thick smoke, the Japanese soldiers were harvested like wheat being harvested by ferocious bullets.
