The Japanese soldiers lined up as skirmishers and pressed towards the 361st Regiment's position. As they rushed forward, they pulled the bolt of their guns and fired at the Chinese army's position. The bullets tore through the air and made a shrill sound. The outside of the bunker was crackling.
There was a loud bang, rocks flew, and vegetation broke.
The remnant soldiers of the supplementary company held their guns and huddled in the muddy trench, not daring to step forward. They felt terrified as they listened to the bullets whizzing past their heads and hitting the mud behind them with a dull popping sound.
The furthest range of the Japanese soldiers' 38-gauge rifles can reach 800 meters, while the Hanyang-made rifles in the hands of the remnants of the army have an effective killing range of two to three hundred meters, so most of the time they can only attack the Japanese.
They hit them, but their bullets couldn't even get close to the Japanese.
So most of the time the Chinese army can only wait for the Japs to approach before fighting. The advantage of this is that it can hit the Japs as much as possible instead of wasting bullets and emptying the gun. Of course, this also has some disadvantages. The Japs can charge at a distance of two to three hundred meters.
You can pounce on it.
Basically, the defenders could only fire two or three bullets before starting hand-to-hand combat. In addition, most of the defenders had very few bullets, only five or six bullets, so melee combat became the norm on the battlefield.
"Everyone prepares two grenades and puts them in a convenient place." The Japanese soldiers approaching their supplementary company had at least a small team of fifty or sixty people. The hand-to-hand combat between these few remaining soldiers was like meat buns beating dogs, and they never came back.
Therefore, Yang Ling hoped as much as possible to eliminate as many Japs as possible before the melee combat, so whether he could repel the Japs in melee combat could only be left to fate.
The positions on the left and right wings began to emit gunfire, mixed with the rattling of machine guns. The gunfire gradually became more intensive. The only machine gun in the supplementary company was in Luo Dayong's hand.
Got two magazines.
"Luo Dayong, wait for my command to start firing the machine gun." Yang Ling knew that the bullets from two magazines could not suppress the Japs at all. Now the machine gun has become their only heavy firepower, and good steel must be used on the blade.
The exchange of fire between the positions on the left and right wings became increasingly fierce, and explosions continued. However, Second Lieutenant Matsui found that the position in front of him was silent. He had not seen any Chinese soldiers since the beginning. They had already approached the opponent's 300-meter range, and the position
It was still quiet, and no one seemed to be watching.
Second Lieutenant Matsui led more than 20 Japanese soldiers to sneak into the right bank of Zozaobang for reconnaissance. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the Chinese army in the reed swamp. He was lucky enough to escape with his life, but those who followed him were killed.
Already.
Therefore, Second Lieutenant Matsui was full of hatred for the Chinese soldiers. He took the initiative to join the first echelon of the attack because he wanted to avenge his dead subordinates. But what he didn't know was that his opponent was hiding in the trench not far away.
Waiting for them to approach.
"Damn it! What's going on with the supplementary company's position! The Japs are coming, why haven't they responded yet?!" The battalion commander kept observing the position. All companies started to exchange fire with the Japs, except for the supplementary company's position.
It was quiet, and the Japanese were advancing rapidly.
The position of the supplementary company was located between the first company and the second company. The battalion commander originally arranged this because he was worried that the supplementary company could not stop the Japanese and hoped that the companies on both sides would provide timely support. Seeing that there was no movement in the position of the supplementary company for a long time, the battalion commander suddenly became anxious.
"Chen Guangqing, go to the first company and ask them to send a platoon to defend the supplementary company's position!" the battalion commander shouted at the communications soldier Chen Guangqing.
Chen Guangqing was lying in the trench at the moment. After hearing the battalion commander's order, he ran towards the first company's position. Artillery shells kept falling around him. Before he could reach the first company's position, he was overturned with a bang.
When I got out, my brain went dark and I lost consciousness.
Yang Ling heard the sound of gunshots getting closer and closer, and estimated that the Japanese had entered the shooting range. He greeted the remaining soldiers: "I will attract firepower, and you will hit them accurately."
Yang Ling slowly moved his position to the side, straightened up suddenly, pointed at the Japs soldier walking at the front and pulled the trigger. Flames spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet penetrated into the Japs' chest with a huge impact.
Make the Japanese soldiers stand unsteadily and turn backwards.
The rest of the Japanese soldiers moved forward while shooting, and suddenly found that the people standing up in the trench had subconsciously pointed their guns at Yang Ling's position and pulled the triggers.
"Hit!" Yang Ling quickly retracted his head and yelled at Lao Yanqiang and the others.
After hearing the order, the remaining soldiers stood up without hesitation and pulled the trigger on the Japanese. The remaining soldiers lay down in a row, and the power of shooting together was still amazing. A row of bullets was fired at the Japanese.
Puff puff!
The few Japs standing at the front had just fired bullets at Yang Ling's position and were pulling the bolt when they were suddenly attacked by a row of Lao Yanqiang and the others. They were caught off guard, and clouds of blood mist burst out from their chests, causing them to fall down.
On the ground.
From Yang Ling's shooting to Lao Yanqiang's shooting, it seemed to be slow, but in fact the interval was only tens of seconds. When several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, the rest of the Japanese soldiers reacted and fell to the ground.
The dense bullets shot out from the muzzle of the Japs' guns, causing smoke and dust to fly outside the trenches. The fluffy soil flew into the trenches and covered the heads of the remaining soldiers.
After a row of robbers, the remaining soldiers did not continue to shoot with the Japanese. The Japanese's marksmanship was accurate. In such a short-distance shooting, if they jumped forward, they would definitely get their heads blown off. There was no point in competing with the Japanese's marksmanship.
Lao Yanqiang and the others had several grenades ready, and they were leaning against the wet trench, waiting for Yang Ling's order.
Yang Ling pulled the bolt of the gun, took a deep breath, changed his position, waited for the Japs' bullets to fly over his head, and then quickly straightened up. In just two or three seconds, he locked onto a Japs machine gunner lying on the ground and pulled the trigger.
The Japanese soldier rolled to the ground clutching his shoulders.
The Japanese grenades began to bombard the position, and the grenades fell and exploded, causing mud to fly. The gravel and soil that flew into the trenches suddenly made the remaining soldiers look unkempt, but the crooked trenches slowed down the explosion to a certain extent.
Due to the destructive power of the explosion, no one among the remaining soldiers was killed except for scratches from the explosive fragments.
"Kill, change, change!" As soon as the grenade bombardment ended, Second Lieutenant Matsui couldn't wait to wave his command knife and gave the order to charge.
The Japanese soldiers also tested the strength of the trench defenders from the early shooting. There were not many in number, so the threat to them was not great. They all stood up together with bayonets pointed out like crazy beasts.
Usually rush towards the position.
When Yang Ling saw the Japs rushing toward the position, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. If it had been in the past, the defenders would have fought with the Japs in a row, but today Yang Ling wanted to treat the Japs to a feast.
"Get ready for the grenade! Throw it!" Yang Ling said as he struggled to throw the grenade out of his hand.
The remaining soldiers all threw out the grenades in their hands, and more than a dozen wooden-handled grenades swirled into the air and flew towards the little devil's head.
The little Japs were charging at the moment, and had already approached the position fifty meters away. Suddenly, they saw so many grenades flying out, and before they had time to react, a violent explosion sounded. The Japs were swept away like wheat.
Second Lieutenant Matsui was also overturned by the air wave of the explosion. The choking smoke rushed into his lungs and made him cough violently, almost suffocating.
The grenades were thrown out twice, and the Japanese soldiers were already covered in blood and flesh. Those who were not dead were lying on the ground, suffering the ravages of the explosions.
"Shoot me with the machine gun!" The Japanese were lying fifty meters away from the trench. Yang Ling gave the shooting order without hesitation.
Luo Dayong had been waiting for the order to shoot. After hearing Yang Ling's shout, he held the machine gun and pulled the trigger. Click, click, click, bullets like splashing water swept towards the Japanese.
