"Platoon leader, will this little devil not come?"
In the dark trench, a brother in charge of the rear looked at the silence outside the position, his tone slightly irritable.
Yang Ling and the others had evacuated their position more than ten minutes ago, while Fatty Tian San and a few brothers stayed behind to detonate the buried explosives and mines. However, they waited and waited, but could not wait for the Japanese to come.
Fatty Tian San stuck his head out of the trench and looked out. It was dark and quiet, and he was muttering in his heart. Didn't the Japanese notice that they were evacuating? But it shouldn't be. With the little Japanese's shrewdness, he would definitely find out soon.
But why haven't you come yet?
The originally lively position was now deserted. Most of the brothers had evacuated. He could even hear the heartbeats of several brothers around him. The longer time passed, the farther they were left behind. Thinking of the Japanese who might come at any time,
They couldn't wait to escape.
One of the brothers pushed the fat man Tian San and said, "Platoon commander, why don't we retreat too? If we wait until daybreak, the Japanese will chase us and none of us can escape."
"But if we withdraw, won't these buried explosives become decorations?"
"Those who are in charge have all fled for their lives. How can they care about us? If we don't tell them, they don't know that we didn't detonate the explosives."
The fat man thought about Yang Ling's explanation before leaving, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, isn't that a lie?"
"But if we wait any longer, if the Japanese get around from other places, we will become dumpling fillings and none of us will survive."
Seeing the impatient expressions of the brothers around him, Fatty Tian San comforted him and said, "I guess the Japanese are coming soon, just wait and see."
Seeing the fat man's stubbornness in not retreating, several brothers sighed and cursed the fat man in their hearts for his stubbornness. However, they did not hesitate if the fat man refused to retreat.
"I said platoon leader..." A brother looked outside and was about to speak again, but the fat man suddenly made a shushing gesture and lowered his voice: "The devil is coming."
Several brothers hidden in the dark trenches carefully poked their heads out, their gaze extending forward, past the incomplete trenches, passing over a large area where mines were buried, until they stopped outside the several fires outside the position.
Several fires were used for lighting. They were burning cracklingly at the moment. On the edge of the darkness illuminated by the fire, there was a flash of light that disappeared. The fat man judged that it should be the reflection of the bayonet.
"Where are they?" A brother looked for a long time, but found no trace of the Japanese.
The fat man didn't say anything. He calmly pulled the bolt of the gun, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aimed at the direction where he saw the flash, pressed down on the trigger with his finger, and fired a shot.
Snapped!
The crisp sound of gunfire broke the dead silence of the position, and within just a few seconds, an overwhelming line of fire came towards Fatty and the others, causing the earth at the edge of the trench to fly.
"My dear, the Japanese are really here." Someone hurriedly retracted his head into the trench, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Chirping shouts rang out in the darkness, and countless ghost-like Japs appeared within the bright light of the fire with bayonets pointed out. They fired and charged towards Fatty and the others.
"Stop being stunned, light the fire quickly!" Seeing that the Japanese were approaching in darkness, the fat man hurriedly shouted towards the nervous thing.
A brother tremblingly took out a match from his pocket, lit the fuse of the explosive package with a click, and as the sizzling green smoke steamed out, the fuse burned out with sparks.
Several brothers hurriedly started to light the fuse, and countless lines of fire spread out and jumped towards the feet of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward also saw the fuse burning quickly, because it was too conspicuous in the darkness. Some Japanese soldiers turned pale and wanted to retreat in fear, but it was too late.
Boom boom boom!
Five kilograms and ten kilograms of explosive bags exploded one after another, and the ground shook with rumbles. The area was suddenly plunged into a sea of smoke and fire. The sand and gravel carried by the explosion shock wave flew up all over Fatty and the others. As the explosion
In the light of the fire, they watched the Japanese soldiers flying up and down while beating Xuan, and they felt extremely happy.
"Blow up all of you idiots!" A brother waved his fist viciously.
"Okay, don't talk about those useless things and run away." Fatty and the others lit all the fuses at once. He didn't dare to stop, so he pulled his excited brothers and jumped into the darkness behind.
"Baga! Baga!" The Japs Major's face was livid, and he watched helplessly as dozens of members of his vanguard team were blown away without a trace in an instant. His facial muscles twitched violently, and his mustache looked extremely...
of anger.
The Japanese Major quickly pulled out his saber and slashed it at the defenders' position: "Covered by artillery fire!"
The Japanese were also driven into panic, and the Type 92 infantry cannon and grenade launchers moved in and fired. Soon, the Chinese defenders burst into bursts of fire, and mud and mist continued to fly away.
The fat man turned his head and looked at the position that was engulfed in flames. He wished that the Japanese would bomb them a few more times and waste some of their shells. There was no one in the position anyway.
As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the Japanese Major ordered the infantry to start charging. Dozens of people in the vanguard squad were blown away by explosives buried in front of the defenders' position. Now he wants revenge!
The Japanese soldiers showed great bravery. They charged forward with bayonets gleaming and howling. They were ready to face the rain of bullets.
However, they stepped on their comrades who were blown to pieces and rushed into the garrison position. Unexpectedly, they did not encounter any resistance because the garrison position was empty and there was no one.
"Pursue! Pursue!" The Japanese Major felt his punch hit the soft cotton. He was fooled, and he roared and gave the order to pursue.
The elite Japanese soldiers had great execution ability and immediately started chasing in the direction of Jiangyin Fortress. However, within a few dozen steps, the Japanese soldiers who were running in front were blown away by a sudden explosion, and their arms and legs were messed up.
Flying, a burst of blood rained down from the sky.
The Japanese Major was so frightened that he hurriedly lay down on the ground. A bloody thing flew onto his shoulder. He reached out and grabbed what turned out to be an exploded arm. His nose was so angry that he was crooked.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers with high morale were first killed by explosives, and then a wave of mines. The other Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they no longer dared to rush forward. Who knows if there is an ambush ahead?
"Engineers are clearing mines! Others go around!" The Japanese Major gritted his teeth angrily and cursed the Chinese soldiers for being cunning. He no longer dared to rush forward rashly, but prepared to lead his team to bypass the garrison position.
