At the forward position, officers and soldiers can see it more intuitively.
Just now, Liuchen had just returned to the company headquarters after checking the sentry, and was about to sit down and take a breather. Suddenly, there was a scream outside the window. He looked up quickly and saw several flares roaring into the night sky.
It ignited in the sky and then slowly descended. The blazing light illuminated an area of several kilometers around as bright as day.
Liuchen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this. The Japs had never taken the initiative to launch an attack at night. Are they going to break this rule today and launch a night battle?
While I was wondering, a sentry outside suddenly shouted: "There are Japs! The Japs are coming!"
"It's really here!" Liuchen's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed the helmet and put it on his head. Then he picked up his armed belt and rushed out of the company headquarters. When he came to the forward position, he saw hundreds of soldiers.
Under the guidance of six T-34 tanks, the Japanese were already swooping down along Beimen Street.
Seeing this, Liuchen immediately shouted: "Everyone is here, enter the position and prepare to fight!"
Liuchen gave an order, and more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion and Second Company quickly entered the defensive position. At this time, the Second Company had been beaten down from the original more than 800 people to less than 200 people. The continuous fierce battles not only
It caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese Seventh Army, and the Chahar Independent Regiment itself also suffered heavy casualties.
For example, He Shuya's second battalion has gone into battle for the third time.
The Second Battalion did not stick to Beimen Street from the beginning, but was rotated in the middle. The Second Battalion was rotated three times in six days, which shows how tragic the battle was!
On the long street, six T-34 tanks rolled forward, their tracks running over the broken stones and broken bricks, making constant crunching and clicking sounds. The officers and soldiers of the second company huddled in the bunker, all silent.
, just silently checking the equipment on his body, the air on the position seemed to be almost solidified.
The more than fifty recruits who had just been added to the second company couldn't even breathe.
One of the new recruits named Wangcai was so nervous that his teeth chattered.
But no one laughs at Wangcai, because the veterans all came from the ranks of new recruits.
Liuchen even came over and patted Wangcai on the shoulder, comforting him and said: "Wangcai, don't be afraid. War is just that. You will get used to it after a few shots."
"Yeah." Wangcai nodded vigorously, but his body was shaking more and more.
Liuchen said nothing more, because it was useless to talk about such things.
It didn't take long for the Japanese to come within shooting range, but the officers and soldiers of the Second Company did not fire.
Instead, it was the Japanese who opened fire first. The main guns of the three T-34 tanks lined up in front fired one after another. Three 57mm caliber kinetic energy rounds immediately roared towards the barricade in front and the houses on both sides, and there was a bang.
Despite the loud explosions and the crashing sounds of buildings collapsing, the T-34 tank's main gun is still very destructive.
One of the shells hit the first floor of the building where Liuchen and the others were hiding. In an instant, a hole as big as a washbasin was made in the front wall, and a large amount of broken bricks and sand flew around, including
Many of them hit Liuchen, but Liuchen just grinned and didn't even bother to reach out and pat them.
After firing a row of shells, the Japanese tank stopped firing.
Because the tank's main gun also has a fixed number of shells, and they cannot be wasted casually.
Amidst the crushing sound of tracks, an entire Japanese infantry squadron slowly approached under the guidance of six T-34 tanks, and soon entered within fifty meters. Liuchen immediately stood up and raised his box cannon to face the outside.
There was a shot on the street, and at the same time he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Hit me, hit me hard!"
Almost at the same time, the remaining more than 100 officers and soldiers of the second company also opened fire.
In an instant, dense bullets swept through the Japanese soldiers on the street like a torrential rain.
Dozens of anti-infantry directional mines were placed on the bunker.
However, the Japanese have become much smarter in the continuous fierce battles. Almost as soon as the officers and soldiers of the Second Company stood up, they fell to the ground or hid behind the tanks. Therefore, the sudden fire attack of the Second Company was not able to stop them.
Instead of knocking down a few Japs, dozens of anti-infantry directional mines knocked down many Japs.
We must admit that anti-infantry directional mines are really a weapon in melee combat!
From the first day of the war, the Japanese have suffered from directional mines, but until now, directional mines are still the number one threat facing the Japanese!
Amidst the continuous popping explosions, tens of thousands of small iron nails spattered towards the street in a fan shape, and there were almost no blind spots in this sputtering! Even lying on the ground was of no use. The next moment
, the streets immediately rang out with tragic wails one after another, and in an instant, at least twenty Japanese were shot into a sieve.
But the six T-34 tanks responsible for guiding it were unscathed.
Soon, the turrets of the six T-34 tanks rotated around, and the straight barrels were already aimed at the machine gun bunkers and infantry bunkers of the second company. When Liuchen saw this, he immediately turned around and ran towards the back, roaring at the top of his lungs as he ran.
: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly, withdraw to the second line of defense, withdraw quickly~~"
The remaining more than 100 officers and soldiers of the second company jumped up and retreated.
It was originally possible to retreat from the tunnels, but during the six consecutive days of fierce fighting, most of the tunnels in this fighting area had been destroyed. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company could no longer retreat from the tunnels and could only retreat backwards from the ground.
This greatly increased the danger. Taking advantage of the second company's retreat, the Japs took the opportunity to fire violently.
The Japanese infantry also set up light and heavy machine guns and fired fiercely at the retreating officers and soldiers of the Second Company.
Fortunately, most of the private buildings in this area have been penetrated, so the officers and soldiers of the Second Company can walk directly through the houses without going to the street. The Japanese machine guns cannot penetrate the walls, but the tank's main gun can easily penetrate the walls.
, but the killing range of kinetic energy bullets is still too small after all, so the threat is not great.
Liuchen ran wildly and shouted loudly.
Almost at the same time that Liuchen left the place, a tank shell roared in and penetrated the house where Liuchen had just been hiding. With only a slight difference, Liuchen was directly hit by this shell.
Broken into pieces, Liuchen secretly rejoiced, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a figure huddled in the corner, trembling.
After taking a closer look, he saw that it was Wangcai, a new recruit, who quickly walked up to the premise and slipped away.
Wangcai's whole body was weak and he couldn't stand upright. Fortunately, Liuchen was strong enough to slip back.
There were two combat defense cannons on the second line of defense of the second company. Liuchen threw Wangcai on the ground and shouted: "Combat defense cannons, quickly push up the combat defense cannons!"
The two artillery teams quickly pushed three 57mm-caliber combat anti-cannons behind the firing holes.
At this time, the Japanese's T-34 tank had already approached within fifty meters. At such a close distance, there were no obstacles in the middle. It could be hit even with your eyes closed. You could only hear the three booming blasts of cannons in front of you.
The three T-34 tanks he was guiding were shot at the same time, and one of the tanks was directly hit in the fuel tank, causing a fatal explosion.
"Load, load quickly! Quick, quick, quick!" After one shot, Liuchen kept urging.
The three artillery groups quickly opened the gun doors, first pulled out the hot shells, and then stuffed another shell into it. The 57mm caliber kinetic energy bullet looked like a giant bullet. The tactics of the three artillery groups
The quality is quite good, and the reloading was quickly completed, and then the gunner took aim and looked for the target.
At this time, the other three Japanese T-34 tanks took the lead in firing.
However, the Japs tanks were in motion, so their accuracy was a bit off. There were only three blasts of gunfire, and one of the shells directly hit a gun emplacement. The four artillerymen responsible for controlling the combat defense gun died on the spot.
, the gun was also damaged, but the other two shells fired by the Japanese tank missed and did not hit the target.
The next moment, the remaining two anti-tank guns fired one after another, exploding two of the three remaining tanks.
However, the Japanese tank soldiers were indeed fierce. Six tanks were beaten until only one remained. Unmoved at all, in order to increase the probability of hitting, they stopped, then adjusted the shooting angle as quickly as possible, and then
Then it fired almost at the same time as a combat anti-cannon on the opposite side. Only two booms were heard, and the two shells hit the target almost at the same time.
Liuchen did not bother to check the artillery losses, so he immediately led the officers and soldiers of the second company to launch a counterattack.
All six T-34 tanks that coordinated the Japanese attack have been destroyed. How long will it take if we don't fight back now?
"Come with me!" Liuchen pulled out a Mosin-Nagant rifle from nowhere, jumped out of the cover of his single soldier, and charged forward along the straight Beimen Street. The next moment, the remaining soldiers of the second company
The more than a hundred officers and soldiers below also charged forward with their Mosin-Nagant rifles with bayonets fixed.
When the kid lying on the ground opposite saw this, he got up without hesitation and launched a tit-for-tat countercharge with his bayonet in hand.
However, just when the two armies were less than ten meters away from each other and were about to collide, Liuchen suddenly squatted down, then took out an anti-infantry directional mine from his backpack and placed it on the ground.
A dozen veterans followed suit and quickly took out anti-infantry directional mines from their satchels and placed them on the ground, then turned around and ran back.
When the hundreds of Japanese who rushed over saw this, they immediately cursed loudly.
Baga Yalu is really hard to guard against, and why is it so unpleasant to fight with a bayonet?
The next moment, more than a dozen anti-infantry directional mines exploded violently at the same time, and more than 10,000 small steel nails immediately radiated, roaring violently and flying, covering hundreds of Japanese soldiers in front of them. The next moment,
The dozens of Japanese who rushed in front immediately fell down, and after falling to the ground, they let out extremely sad and wailing sounds.
The Japs behind did not fare much better. Under another round of rapid fire attacks from the Second Company, at least more than half of them fell. In the end, less than ten Japs were left and fled back.
