A large area of houses to the west of the village became a battlefield, with dense gunfire mixed with rumbling explosions and thick smoke billowing from the burning houses.
The sky-high firelight reflected the figures who were hurriedly dodging bullets on the mottled wall opposite, like ghosts with teeth and claws.
The disheveled Japanese soldiers relied on the Type 92 heavy machine guns placed on the wall of the landlord's compound to disrupt the attacking rhythm of the defeated soldiers.
The broken soldiers who were rushing forward had been torn apart by the roaring machine gun bullets and were twitching and bleeding all over their bodies. No one wanted to follow in their footsteps. The broken soldiers were cursing and rushing to hide behind the water tanks and walls.
Boom boom——
From time to time, the flames of the explosion stirred up dust and rubble all over the sky. The bricks and tiles that shook the ground fell down, and a layer of floating ash fell on the shoulders of the defeated soldiers hiding under the wall.
The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder, my nose was sticky and my breathing was difficult, and the smell of blood was too strong.
The disgraced company commander Wu Jiang pulled the bolt of his gun and fired a shot at the dark front. He hurriedly retracted his body back to the wall. Facing the violent rain of bullets, if he hesitated for a moment, he would be beaten into a hornet's nest.
.
"Batalion Commander! We have to change our approach." Wu Jiang shouted at Yang Ling at the top of his lungs.
Yang Ling looked at the Japs heavy machine gun on the wall that kept spitting out flames, with a look of reluctance on his face. The Japs reacted too quickly. If they had been given even two more minutes, they would have been able to break into the landlord's compound. But now the landlord's compound has become
The enemy's fortress.
Yang Ling's voice rang out in the darkness: "Old Wu, feint and use up the enemy's ammunition as much as possible."
The company commander Wu Jiang understood this and immediately called on the defeated soldiers who were hiding and did not dare to take the lead and fired at the landlord's compound, attracting the firepower of the Japanese heavy machine guns.
"Li Tiezhu——"
No reply.
"Li Tiezhu——"
Yang Ling shouted several times without any response. Just when he was about to open his mouth to shout again, a deep voice came from the yard next to him: "Batalion Commander, he is dead."
Yang Ling was stunned and rushed into the yard in three steps at a time. Before the smoke cleared, Liu Yidao was holding his curled-edged machete in one hand and pulling a bloody corpse out of the pile of Japanese corpses with the other.
Li Tiezhu had a strong temper and always dared to go head-to-head with the Japanese with bayonets. This time, his boat capsized in a ditch, and he was stabbed to the ground when faced with a pincer attack from several Japanese.
Before he died, he fired a grenade, blowing up himself and several Japanese soldiers. Looking at the face that was blurred with dust and blood, Yang Ling felt bitter in his heart. Li Tiezhu's sacrifice was so much that he died on the Songhu battlefield.
There is one less brother to fight alongside.
Boom boom——
A grenade landed in the yard, and the shock wave of the explosion swept Yang Ling and Liu Yidao to the ground.
"Bah! It's a Japanese cannon!" Liu Yidao's curse came from the darkness.
Yang Ling felt that his arm was in severe pain, and reached out to touch the wet area. It must have been scratched by the explosion. He stood up from the ground, ignoring his sadness, and ordered Liu Yidao: "Old Liu, concentrate all your efforts."
With grenades and short guns, I cleared the surrounding yards——"
Now the Japs are huddled in the landlord's compound and resisting. Yang Ling and the others are advancing quickly. Many Japs are blocked in other courtyards and are separated. Yang Ling is going to attack this part of the Japs first.
"Okay!" Liu Yidao became murderous at this moment and strode out of the yard immediately.
It was not Yang Ling's wish that the raid turned into a fortified battle. It was true that the reaction speed of the Japanese soldiers was too fast, but Yang Ling was not too worried. It was just a trapped beast still fighting. In such terrain, grenades are more useful than guns.
Although the Japanese were better at street fighting in these narrow terrains than the defeated soldiers, before the defeated soldiers could react, the Japanese had already taken the commanding heights and relied on houses to resist, but Yang Ling was confident of eating them.
Boom boom——
The fighting in the village turned from intensive gunfire to a flaming explosion. The thin air flow mixed with red explosive fragments flew everywhere, and the sky was full of mud, dust and gravel, like a mud rain.
Liu Yidao led people to smash grenades in each courtyard. Although these houses and courtyards belonged to the common people, but now occupied by the Japanese, they were fortresses. He did not hesitate to blast these fortresses with grenades.
"Grenade! Throw it at me!" Liu Yidao is now a wealthy landowner. The defeated army has gathered four to five hundred grenades. He wants to blast him until the sky is dark and the ground is dark, and he will plow the courtyard to clear holes!
As soon as Liu Yidao finished speaking, several black things suddenly flew out of the dark courtyard wall and rolled into the rubble behind Liu Yidao, still swirling gurglingly.
"Damn it, grenade!"
Liu Yidao felt his body being blown away by the air waves, becoming light and airy, and then he fell into the rubble with a clang, grinning in pain.
"Company Commander, Company Commander-" Someone ran over in the darkness and turned Liu Yidao over: "See if he is injured."
Liu Yidao felt that his head was very dizzy, and thousands of hands were touching his face randomly. He felt a little tired and wanted to sleep, but the hands touching his face were really annoying, just like scratching his face.
Same.
"Damn it, can you please stop touching my face?" Liu Yidao was angry.
"The company commander is still alive! The company commander is still alive!"
Liu Yidao struggled to sit up, but he felt severe pain in his back. He asked someone to help him take a look. A soldier looked through the light of the explosion and found that Liu Yidao's entire back was covered in blood and flesh.
"Company Commander, you are injured..." Looking at the bloody back, the soldier swallowed his saliva and felt that he was in pain.
However, Liu Yidao pushed the soldier away, stood up as if nothing was wrong, pointed at the courtyard wall where the grenade flew over, and shouted angrily: "Throw the grenade! Blow up those bastards!"
More than twenty grenades flew over the wall one after another, exploding with a bang in the yard next door. The ground shook as if it had experienced an earthquake, and a layer of bricks on the wall was chipped away by the air waves.
Falling down, smoke and dust filled the air.
When the defeated soldiers climbed over the wall and landed in the yard next door, they found that the arms of the Japanese soldiers hiding in the yard had flown away, and their remaining stomachs were cut open by explosive shrapnel, and they were gurgling.
The blood is dead.
Liu Yidao was completely angry and threw the grenades as if they were free of money. Regardless of whether he was a machine gun, a rifle or a human being, after a wild explosion, only the parts would be left.
Qin Shou and his men lurked behind the field ridge on the east side of the village. Their mission was to block the east side of the village. Listening to the lively fighting in the village, the defeated soldiers were gearing up and eager to try.
But Qin Shou was enjoying his leisure time, lying on his back on a pile of weeds and closing his eyes to sleep. He didn't care at all about the noisy village. Fighting was not just playing house, it was killing people. He wished he had stayed in a safe place.
"The devil is out! The devil is out!"
While Qin Shou was in the audience, more than fifty sneaky Japanese soldiers fired out from the east of the village, which made Qin Shou's mood suddenly turn bad.
Damn, this is really not letting people live in peace! Qin Shou turned over, loaded his 38-meter rifle, and shouted: "Get ready to fight!"
