The flares shot up into the night sky at high speed, and the pale light enveloped the fields around the bunker, making everything clear.
The Japanese's ability to construct field fortifications was strong. In a short period of time, countless bunkers, bunkers, trenches, traffic trenches and even tunnels emerged, becoming roadblocks blocking the Chinese troops.
The Japanese tried to use these fortifications and trenches to delay the Chinese army's attack, but they were too fanciful, and they weakened the determination of the Chinese officers and soldiers to eliminate them.
The Japanese Lieutenant's face was tense and covered with dust. His eyes were moving towards the edge of the darkness with the light of the flares that dispersed the darkness. Soon his pupils shrank, and he saw something dozens of meters away on the ground.
A crawling person.
They must be Chinese soldiers! The Japanese lieutenant came to the conclusion almost without thinking.
The machine gun firing range outside their bunker has been cleared, the small trees have been cut down, and the vines and shrubs have been cleared. At this moment, there are no Chinese officers and soldiers who are unobstructed and want to quietly come over and blow up the Japanese bunker.
The surrounding cover of darkness was clearly exposed to the Japs soldiers' sight.
"Damn it! Cover him quickly!"
Seeing the Japanese firing flares and hiding behind a ridge in the rear, a platoon leader knew that the situation was not good and hurriedly gave orders to the machine gunner beside him.
This brother also knew that he was doomed. He retreated at least fifty or sixty meters. Could he outrun the Japanese machine gun?
Almost in the flash of lightning, this brother gritted his teeth and made a decision. Holding the explosive bag in his arms, his body suddenly jumped up from the ground and swooped towards the Japanese bunker ahead.
Since you can't go back, it's better to risk your life and give it a try!
"Asshole! Come back!" Seeing the brother rushing forward, the platoon leader behind him yelled in anger.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The Japanese lieutenant also saw the explosive bag in the brother's hand. His pupils shrank and he screamed impatiently.
"Da da da……"
The Japanese machine gunner also knew that when Chinese officers and soldiers pounced on them, they would be blown up like other bunkers, so he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The shooting hole spurted out a long tongue of flame, and the dark red bullets swept out with arrogance, ruthlessly penetrating the body of the brother who rushed forward.
The body of this brother who rushed forward seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer. He suddenly paused and a fountain of blood flew up.
Seeing that their brother had been hit by a bullet, the brothers hiding in the darkness all had red eyes. They pulled their rifles to shoot for cover. Some wanted to pounce on him and rescue him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Da da da!"
Bullets kept flying in the direction of the Japanese, sending smoke and dust flying everywhere.
But this brother staggered to hold himself up and didn't fall down. He glanced at the Japanese bunker that was spitting out flames, and threw himself forward again with the remaining strength in his body.
Seeing that the brother who was shot and bleeding from the body did not fall down, he rushed towards him. The Japanese were all frightened and fired desperately.
"Boom!"
The explosive package exploded in the sky-high firelight, and the bunker was blown to pieces together with the Chinese officer and soldier who rushed towards him. As the shock wave splashed in all directions, the gravel and sand hit the brothers' faces, causing burning pain.
…
"Charge!" the platoon leader with a sad face roared, holding a bayonet and leaping up, leading his brothers into the scalding smoke.
"Ah!" Soon the scream of the little Japanese before his death could be heard in the smoke, and the bunker was taken away by the brothers.
The Wanjialing area shrouded in darkness was already in chaos, and every position was in fighting, and firefights were taking place in the ravines and trenches.
Boundless fear enveloped the Japs who stood firm in various positions. They opened their eyes wide and stared at the darkness around them, because if they were not paying attention, Chinese officers and soldiers holding grenades would suddenly pounce on them.
For the first time, the Japanese felt so powerless. They could only huddle in the trenches and wait to die. Why was it not bright yet? They urgently needed sunlight to dispel this damn darkness.
"who!"
Suddenly there were footsteps in the darkness, and the Japanese had become very noisy. Although the fighting nearby had not yet affected them, they had a hunch that it was about to happen.
"I am Ono from the brigade headquarters. The brigade leader has orders..."
The dark night made it difficult for the Japanese in the trenches to see the face of the visitor, but they were relieved to hear that the other party spoke fluent Japanese.
"What's the captain's order?" The Japanese captain put away his pistol and went forward.
Now there are battlefields everywhere and firefights are taking place everywhere. The orders from the brigade headquarters make the Japanese team holding on to this protrusion feel like they are grasping at a life-saving straw.
"The captain asked you to retreat and shrink your defenses. A Chinese army has already moved behind us. There is no point in defending here any longer..." The messenger spoke very quickly.
What? The Chinese army has reached behind. The Japanese captain was shocked when he heard the news. Why didn't they notice? Have the Chinese become so elusive?
Thinking of the firefight that was going on nearby, the Japanese captain felt relieved. The Chinese army was no longer as easy to fight as it was a year ago. They also grew up in the flames of war.
"Please tell your Excellency, Captain, that we will retreat quickly, but... where shall we retreat to?"
The Japanese captain suddenly thought of this question and turned his eyes to the ordering soldiers, wanting to ask. After all, fighting was going on everywhere and there seemed to be no room for them.
When the Japanese Captain's eyes moved to the face of the ordering soldier, a fireball exploded in the distance. In that flash of light, he saw the ferocious look on the face of the ordering soldier.
"You are not one of ours...you are a Chinese!" The Japanese captain suddenly became alert and shouted a warning while retreating, trying to distance himself.
But the messenger in Japanese clothes suddenly seemed to be a different person. At some point, he took out a bayonet smeared with mud and rushed towards the Japanese captain.
"Pfft!"
After the bayonet was slightly blocked, it penetrated into the belly of the Japanese Captain. With a strong twist, the inside of the Japanese Captain's stomach was crushed to pieces.
The Japanese Captain wanted to shout, but a large amount of blood poured out of his mouth. The strength in his body was rapidly losing, and his body became limp and weak.
The sudden turn of events shocked the Japanese soldiers in the trenches. They had already relaxed their vigilance when they saw one of their own men coming, but who knew that the man who came here actually took out a bayonet and killed their commander.
"It's Chinese!"
A Japanese soldier who was closest saw clearly the scene of his commander being assassinated. He was shocked and shouted angrily.
"Boom! Boom!"
Before the Japanese shouted, grenades had already exploded in the trench, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were lifted out of the trench by the air waves.
"Da da da……"
"Puff puff!"
A string of scarlet bullets swept into the trench, and the Japanese soldiers who were stunned by the explosion fell to the ground wailing.
Countless Chinese officers and soldiers were quietly rushing up from the surrounding darkness, killing the still-living Japanese one by one.
"Hey, you did a good job!"
Company commander Wang Dongming looked at his brother who was taking off his Japanese clothes after completing his mission, patted his shoulder and praised him.
This brother laughed innocently. He seemed harmless to humans and animals, but if the Japanese captain was still alive, he would definitely curse. How can stabbing a bayonet so cleanly and harmlessly be harmless?
"Please be quick with your hands and feet. We still have work to do tonight." Company Commander Wang Dongming turned to the brothers and urged them.
