Chapter 361 Flare

At the same time, more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the Mercenary Regiment, who did not know that they had all the hopes of the 19th Route Army placed on them, were about to face the first battle in their lives.

Mu Qinghe's 1st Infantry Company's position is located on the left side of the river beach, less than 500 meters away from the river beach. In front of the river beach are two machine gun companies deploying machine gun positions in series. On the right side of the river beach, that is, directly opposite the 1st Infantry Company.

It is the position of the 2nd Infantry Company.

The entire ambush position is in the shape of a horseshoe, completely covering an area of ​​nearly two square kilometers around the river beach. If the enemy lands from here, they will be attacked from any direction.

Moreover, not far from the rear of the ambush position, three mortar positions and a Schneider infantry gun position were set up alternately, with a total of 18 81mm mortars, 6 75mm infantry guns and two 150mm heavy mortars.

The guns are ready.

However, Mu Qinghe was even more nervous now. The distant shelling fire and thunderous explosions let him know how fierce the battle ahead was, but there was still silence and darkness in front of him. Except for the sound of wind blowing from the river, there were also

Zhang Ermao, a communications soldier from the company headquarters lying next to him, was so nervous that he was trembling all over and his teeth were chattering.

Fortunately, Mu Qinghe remembered his responsibilities as company commander. He tried to make his face softer, looked at Zhang Ermao, forced out a smile, and reached out to pat his shoulder. He didn't know that his stiff smile was even

It was uglier than crying, but the effect was surprisingly good. The communications soldier Zhang Ermao finally stopped shaking and looked back at him gratefully.

Although they were nervous, even fearful and trembling, no one made a sound or flinched. They all lay quietly on the position, holding the guns in their hands tightly and looking towards the river.

Suddenly, there was a "swish...swish!" sound on the river in the distance. It was very slight at first, and gradually the sound became louder and louder. At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn, and the moon was dead.

Hiding in the clouds and not daring to show his head.

The enemy is coming... Mu Qinghe's heart beat violently, and it felt like it was about to pop out of his mouth, but his mouth was as dry as a desert. He subconsciously swallowed for a long time without any spit to moisten it, and it felt like it was dry and cracked.

throat.

He couldn't see anything in front of him. He didn't know whether he was blinded momentarily or from the sky. He could only subconsciously follow the usual training requirements and lower his body as much as possible. He didn't dare to raise his head and put his chin on the soil covered with sandbags.

But he tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, not daring to blink, staring at the darkness ahead where the sounds kept coming.

The hard work paid off, Mu Qinghe finally saw a ray of light, very subtle, no, not one, but many rays of light, it was the enemy's bayonet, and then he saw the dark outline of a human figure behind the bayonet and the steel helmet on the head, a group of

The enemy walked out of the darkness, hunched over, and slowly walked forward, while people kept pouring out of the darkness from behind.

They were looking around and observing, their movements gentle and unhurried.

"He is the enemy's vanguard."

Mu Qinghe instantly judged the functions and functions of these enemies. He lowered his head lower and began to feel pain in his jaw, but his eyes were still wide open until he saw that the leading Japanese soldiers at the front had carefully touched the trail.

Less than a hundred meters away from the 1st company position, although he still couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel the wolf-like gaze under the helmet sweeping towards him. He was so nervous that he almost suffocated. He even

They all began to wonder if they had been discovered.

No one is allowed to shoot without an order. This is a fatal order given by the squad leader, and obeying orders is an instinct engraved in everyone's bones.

So Mu Qinghe didn't make any move. At this moment, he was like a stone, motionless. Even if the enemy's bayonet stabbed him, he couldn't be exposed.

Fortunately, the enemy's top soldiers did not notice anything unusual. In the face of the night, everyone is equal. Of course, except for Zhou Wen and those perverts from the first team.

A dozen enemy top soldiers didn't notice anything unusual, so they stopped moving forward. Instead, they squatted on the spot and started to be on guard with their guns.

At this time, more and more Japanese troops were pouring out of the darkness by the river. They were advancing like dense black shadows like ants leaving their nests. Mu Qinghe was not very nervous at this time. He was just waiting anxiously for shooting.

Order, the enemy formation is too dense. At this time, as long as you shoot in the direction of the river beach, you can hit someone with your eyes closed.

As the commander, Meng Yuting could not see the large group of Japanese troops landing on the river beach, but he estimated from the number of Japanese troops' vanguard troops that a squadron of Japanese troops landed along with the spearhead troops.

Originally, he was prepared to wait a little longer to get more enemies in the encirclement, but he soon discovered that the leading soldiers who were on alert began to search and advance around again. If they didn't fight, they would touch the infantry company's position.

He knew that Japan was really a thief. As soon as a squadron landed ashore, he began to prepare to move forward. He knew that once the battle started, the Japanese commander would never have the brains to send more troops to the shore. It was impossible to launch an attack in a narrow terrain such as the river beach.

They could only use sneak attack tactics, and it was absolutely impossible to keep adding fuel to the opponent's pockets after they had already lined them up. Therefore, Meng Yuting felt regretful and raised the flare gun in his hand.

"Bang!" A flare shot into the air.

The red signal flare streaked across the sky like a shooting star, looking so dazzling and charming in the silent dark night sky.

The assault boat Major Kitada Kanglian, captain of the 143rd Brigade of the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, was approaching the river bank. When he looked at the rising signal flares, his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that the landing force had been discovered by the Chinese army, and now he could only speed up the landing and launch an attack as soon as possible.

What he didn't know was that the signal flare was not a warning signal, but a signal for the mercenary group to start attacking.

Less than a second after the signal flare was raised, the scream of artillery shells fired into the air was heard in the distance. Based on experience, Kitada Yasulian instantly judged that they were two mortar shells, and before he could lay low, he

Body, the shell actually exploded high in the air. The sound was not loud, just like a larger firecracker, but a burst of dazzling light came...

"Baga! Flares!"

Two flares fell slowly from high in the sky one after another. One illuminated the busy figures of hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the river beach, and the other illuminated the one-kilometer-long river surface at Yunzhaobang.

The densely packed rubber boats and assault boats also illuminated the pale faces of more than a thousand Japanese troops on the shore and on the water.
