The smoke from the charred trenches had not yet cleared. In the piles of scattered corpses, the fat man Tian San moved his fat body and rummaged through the piles of corpses. From time to time, he put some valuable objects and plundered food into the piles of corpses in his hands.
Bulky canvas bag.
boom--
There was a sound of piercing the air, and a bullet flew into the air and hit the scorched earth beside the fat man, causing a burst of mud mist to rise.
The fat man jumped up like a frightened mouse and rolled into the crater next to him. Another bullet hit the edge of the crater, causing rubble to fly.
"Bah, you damn little devil. Fatty, I'm just here to find someone who stutters. Why don't you just keep staring at me?" He scolded me, but the fat man also knew that it was dangerous to be targeted by the devil, so he started to look around.
.
This charred battlefield has been bombarded to pieces. The two sides fought a bloody battle here. There are layers of scattered corpses, and there are large and small craters everywhere.
Looking at another bomb crater not far away, the fat man took a deep breath and threw the bulging canvas bag over. Puff puff, the canvas bag flying into the air was immediately punched with several holes.
As soon as the canvas bag fell into the crater, the fat man's wretched figure had already jumped out like a cheetah and rolled into another crater before the bullet arrived.
"Damn Chinese!" Several Japanese riflemen three hundred meters away saw the fat man nimbly dodging left and right among the piles of corpses. The bullets just couldn't hit them. They gritted their teeth angrily and watched the fat man walk away.
Nothing can be done.
A soldier whose face was darkened by gunpowder smoke was holding a 79 rifle and aiming at the Japanese position on the opposite side. Hearing the cold shots fired from the Japanese side from time to time, his palms became sweaty, for fear that the Japanese would rush over again. Last night
The cruel battle left a shadow in his mind, and he was full of fear of those Japanese with fierce faces.
Looking at the figure jumping and running quickly in the thick smoke, the soldier in charge of the guard nervously pulled the bolt of his gun, and his face became tense.
Bang - the bullet jumped out at high speed along the rifling, and a faint smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun. Because of the tension, the gun misfired and shot into the sky.
The fat man was running back happily with his bulging canvas bag on his shoulders. The sudden sound of gunshots in front frightened him and he fell to the ground in a hurry.
"Where to shoot?" Lao Yanqiang heard the sudden sound of gunshots and ran over with his 79 rifle and asked loudly, just in time to see the fat man with a gray face get up cursing.
"Damn it, who shot me!" The fat man was very angry. He didn't die under the guns of the Japanese soldiers. He almost got shot by one of his own men. If he was killed, it would be an injustice.
"My gun...the gun went off..." Seeing the twitching fat on the fat man's face, the sentry was very nervous and stammered.
"You are blind, didn't you see it was me!" The fat man cursed relentlessly, and was pulled aside by the old smoker.
"What's the firepower configuration of the Japs?"
The fat man cursed and sat down on the ground. He unscrewed the kettle and raised his neck to drink a large gulp of cold water. Then he slowly said: "The firepower is very strong. I observed that there were at least two heavy machine guns and more than ten heavy machine guns in the front.
It’s a light machine gun, and there are quite a few in depth, so it’s too far away to see clearly.”
Lao Yanqiang's face became solemn. With such strong firepower from the Japanese, if they attacked by force, they would probably lose a lot of money. But if they didn't attack, this Japanese position would be like a nail embedded in their defense line, making them feel like they were stuck in their throats and very uncomfortable.
.
"Okay, you rest first, I'll report the situation to the group." Lao Yanqiang patted the fat man on the shoulder and turned to leave.
The fat man stopped the old smoker, took out a canned meat from a Japanese soldier from his canvas bag and threw it over: "The canned meat from the Japanese soldiers is good, let's try it."
Lao Yanqiang pinched the canned meat in his hand and shook his head helplessly. Fatty was good at everything, but he was too greedy. Even if he went to conduct investigations, he would not forget to bring back food.
"Everyone, come here, eat canned meat -" Seeing the old smoker leaving, the fat man called the brothers who were nesting in the trenches to come over and eat.
Compared to those hard-bodied wotou, this red-white Japanese can is really attractive. Watching the fat man pry open the can, the brothers who came around stretched their heads one by one, turned their throats and swallowed saliva.
…
"Report!"
"Come in--"
Lao Yanqiang raised his legs and walked into a dilapidated house. The room was dark and dim, but the first thing he saw was Captain Liu of the reserve team, who was sitting on a broken bench with a stern face.
Lao Yanqiang stood at attention with his head high and his chest high, and gave a military salute to Commander Liu: "Commander, we have clearly investigated the Japanese position on the opposite side..."
This time, Captain Liu did not habitually listen to Lao Yanqiang and waved his hand to interrupt him after finishing the investigation information.
"Our battle plan has changed. The attacking force tonight has been changed to the 615th Regiment. They will come to hand over the position later. You can take your company to the back to assemble. We have a new mission."
Changed? Lao Yanqiang was suddenly confused. Seeing that he was about to capture the last Japanese stronghold that broke in, he suddenly had to withdraw to perform a new mission. What was going on? In order to conquer these positions
, they are brothers who have suffered a lot.
"Team leader, brothers are all ready to attack. This sudden withdrawal..."
Commander Liu remained expressionless: "Execute the order."
"Yes." Lao Yanqiang reluctantly agreed, but he was unwilling to do so. He paid such a high price to attack the last point, which allowed friendly forces to take over. Isn't this a wedding dress for others? I can't figure it out.
.
Lao Yanqiang took a few steps toward the door and then turned around and asked: "Tuanzuo, what is our new mission?"
"Go and remove the Japanese artillery positions, otherwise we won't be able to hold the positions we recovered." Commander Liu told Lao Yanqiang in detail without any concealment.
When Lao Yanqiang heard that he was going to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, he immediately became excited. As long as the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, the Japanese would become a tiger without claws. Let's see how rampant he can be.
"What? Is there anything else?" Seeing Lao Smoking standing still, Captain Liu raised his head and asked.
Lao Yanqiang waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no problem, I'll go down and prepare."
The Japanese artillery positions were set up in the Dingshan Sand Mountain area. The artillery fire of the Chinese defenders in the Jiangyin Fortress was simply out of reach. However, the Japanese howitzers were able to hit the Chinese defenders in the outer positions, causing heavy losses to the defenders.
The Chinese defenders were in a state where they could only take beatings but could not fight back. In order to reverse this situation, Commander-in-Chief Liu of the Jiang Defense Group decided to dispatch a capable force to remove the Japanese artillery positions, thereby reversing the passive situation.
Currently, there are only the 111th Division, the 112th Division and the weaker 103rd Division guarding the front line of Jiangyin Fortress. The troops are stretched thin and it is already very difficult to hold the position. Although there are still some garrison troops and police in Jiangyin City, they are not of much use.
Lao Yanqiang and his reserve team regained several positions as soon as they entered the battlefield. Their determination to fight and fight was impressive, so in the end it fell to them to remove the Japanese artillery positions this time.
