Xiong Dawu finally agreed to Yang Ling's proposal and decided to take the initiative. He was very open-minded. If he stuck to his position, more than 30 people and the ammunition that was about to run out would not be enough for the Japanese, so it was better to give it a try.
Maybe I can hold on until dark and survive one more night.
The third battalion commander had already been killed in the hand-to-hand combat just now. His body was stabbed with several holes by the enemy's bayonets. The entire right bank of Zozaobang was turned into a pot of porridge. The enemy attacked across the board. There were gunfire everywhere and the defense line was in danger.
The regiment has not yet had time to appoint a new battalion commander for the third battalion.
Therefore, no one stood up and said anything about the unauthorized actions of the 1st Company and the Supplementary Company. They were all too preoccupied with taking care of themselves that they had no time to care about others.
The combined strength of the two companies left only about forty men. They all climbed out of the trenches with their guns in hand, ran to the pile of corpses in front of the position, lay down and started pretending to be dead.
The river beach was covered with corpses, both from the Japanese soldiers and from the Chinese army. Most of them were the broken soldiers who retreated from the front line last night and were killed by the Japanese artillery. They lay all over the river beach in random directions. More than 40 broken soldiers were mixed together.
It doesn't seem out of place to lie down among the corpses.
One of the two machine guns of the supplementary company was reduced to parts by the Japanese grenade, and the other was used by Luo Dayong as a fire stick to hit the Japanese. The barrel was bent and deformed and could not be used, so now the only heavy firepower can only be counted on the first company.
There is one remaining Czech machine gun.
Yang Ling lay on his back, pulled two bloody corpses over his body as a cover, and touched two handfuls of blood and smeared it on his face, making him look more like a dead person.
The rest of the soldiers were either lying in the crater or diving into the pile of dead people. Fatty Tian San stood out the most, lying on the ground with his buttocks cut by the bayonet, eyes closed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Ling's proactive approach is very risky. If they are exposed and discovered by the attacking Japanese, they will be in danger. However, it is not wise to defend the position now. It is better to give it a try. Maybe they can deceive the Japanese.
You can attack the Japanese from behind and achieve victory.
The two companies did not have much ammunition left, less than five bullets per person, and only about 20 grenades were left. All grenades had their caps unscrewed and were ready to pull the strings at any time.
The smoke from the artillery fire had just dissipated, and the Japanese on the left bank of Zaozao Bang were already rushing towards the position of the third battalion on the right bank. With their sharp bayonets pointed out, they passed over the shattered corpses on the ground and fired towards the position of the third battalion.
.
Scattered gunshots rang out from the Chinese soldiers of the Second and Third Companies who were staying on the position. Almost all the heavy weapons were knocked off by the Japanese grenades. In addition, there were heavy casualties, and the sparse firepower could not block them at all.
Can't resist the enemy's attack.
When the Japanese saw the sparse firepower on the position, they rushed forward even more unscrupulously. Their machine guns intertwined into a large firepower net and enveloped the position. The heads of the defenders were blown off. Their heads tilted and they made no sound.
Bomb grenades also exploded continuously on the position.
Company Commander Xiong Dawu looked at the Japanese soldiers who were stepping over him and charging forward, and thought to himself that they were lucky. If they had not listened to Yang Ling, they would still be in the trenches and being beaten. But now, they are just waiting for their backs to be taken by the Japanese.
Come on hard.
The Japs stared at the defenders' positions and did not notice at all that there were many living people lying in the pile of dead people they passed. In fact, bullets were flying in the air and there were banging gunshots everywhere. Who would care about the dead people on the ground?
When cleaning the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers would only inflict wounds on the dead, but now their mission is to break through the defenders' positions.
The Japs' cowhide boots stepped on the arm of "Dead Man" Smoker, and he grimaced in pain. However, in order not to expose his target, he could only hold on. He had already scolded the eighteen generations of the Japs' ancestors in his heart.
"Attack!" Japanese Second Lieutenant Matsui held up his command sword in his hand and shouted to attack. The Japanese soldiers roared and charged forward, vowing to break through the Chinese defenders' position in one fell swoop.
The Japs rushed toward the position, and the two companies guarding the position were unable to hold on any longer. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire behind the Japs, and countless bullets were fired at the Japs' backs.
The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward did not expect that there would be a fire attack from behind. The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward were immediately killed and wounded many times. The machine gunners belonging to the first company put their tripods on the corpses, rattling.
Bullets started pouring.
The ferocious bullets exploded into clouds of blood mist on the Japs' backs. The Japs' offensive formation was immediately thrown into chaos. They were caught off guard.
The Japanese soldiers hurriedly fell to the ground, but there were the Second Company and the Third Company in front of them, and Yang Ling and others were attacking behind them. They were suddenly caught between two sides, and the bullets on both sides intertwined to form a fire net, covering the Japanese soldiers.
Japanese soldiers continued to be hit by bullets and rolled to the ground. Second Lieutenant Matsui was even more angry and screamed. He looked at the Chinese troops who appeared from nowhere behind him and were pinned to the ground by bullets, unable to raise their heads.
"Grenade hello!" Yang Ling pulled off the string of the grenade and threw it towards the Japs lying on the ground. The grenade exploded before it even hit the ground, and the exploding fragments flying everywhere were deeply embedded in the Japs' flesh and blood.
, causing huge damage immediately.
"Fight!" When the other soldiers holding grenades heard Yang Ling's greeting, they all threw their grenades at the Japs. The explosion caused a chain reaction, and the roar continued, like beautiful fireworks, and all the Japs were immediately thrown away.
It's covered.
More than twenty grenades exploded continuously within a radius of less than 50 meters, which immediately stunned the little Japs. The other little Japs in the direction of the attack also saw the explosions here, and they hurriedly fell to the ground in fright.
When the gunpowder smoke cleared, all the more than fifty little Japs had been thrown to the ground. The injured Japs who were not dead were squirming on the ground, their flesh and blood were blurred by the bombing, and they looked terrible.
Second Lieutenant Matsui escaped from Yang Ling's hands several times. This time, he was not so lucky again. His stomach was opened with a big hole by the explosion, and blood kept pouring out. He stretched out his hands to try to stop the blood.
, but their strength was getting weaker and weaker, and they saw countless Chinese soldiers holding broadswords striding towards them.
"Kill them all." Yang Ling picked up the bayonet and stabbed the little Japanese squirming on the ground fiercely. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. Yang Ling's face was spattered with blood.
Seeing Yang Ling killing people as decisively as killing a pig, and hearing the little devil's howl like killing a pig, the soldiers behind Yang Ling all shuddered in unison, Damn, you are such a ruthless person.
Lao Yanqiang and others have long been used to it. Anyway, Yang Ling has almost never been left alive. Every time he cares whether he is dead or not, he will make up for it with a knife. Several people in the supplementary company have followed suit.
He started to clean up the Japanese with his bayonet. The bayonet penetrated his body and made a popping sound, which made the people in the company take a breath of cold air and feel horrified.
Many people couldn't bear to see these injured and struggling Japanese soldiers being stabbed to death one by one. They turned their heads away and couldn't bear to see the bloody scene.
"These five injured Japanese are left to your company." But Yang Ling just wanted them to learn to be more ruthless to the enemy, otherwise they would be the ones who died.
Xiong Dawu usually saw a lot of rough and tumble Japs killed, but when he was asked to bayonet the injured Japs to death, he still couldn't do it and hurriedly waved his hands to avoid it, unwilling to do such a job.
The injured Japanese soldiers may have realized that they were destined to die, so they struggled even more fiercely. One Japanese soldier grabbed a melon grenade and was about to detonate it.
boom!
Yang Ling's gun fired, and the Japs hand holding the grenade dropped weakly, and the grenade rolled and fell into the mud puddle.
"Damn, you kid!" Xiong Dawu saw that the kid almost detonated a grenade and killed himself. He immediately became furious. He grabbed the bayonet and stabbed all five of the Japs. It was like...
Like going crazy.
Seeing Xiong Dawu assassinate the Japanese without mercy, Yang Ling's face showed a smile. Chinese people are too kind to the jackals that break into their homes. They hurt themselves but want to forgive the other party. You must know that there are no beasts
It's human nature. If you don't kill them once, they will come again. As long as you kill them cruelly and scare them, you can avoid future troubles forever.
