Chapter 290 To save or not to save (Double monthly ticket, please vote!)
The Japanese army started from both sides of Xilin Temple and approached the pagoda in a continuous curved motion.
But this time, Crow Crow and Little Baldhead, who were already on high alert, would never let the Japanese army enter the temple so easily.
As soon as the Japanese infantry began to move, Xia Dayu, who was in charge of being an observer, alerted Crow to where the Japanese troops were hiding and where they were about to come out.
Although Crow's arms were sore from firing more than a hundred rounds of bullets in a row, he still kept raising machine guns, shell guns and even rifles to shoot at the Japanese infantry who were approaching from both sides.
People's self-confidence is really a wonderful thing. After feeling that one's marksmanship is acceptable at short distances, Crow's marksmanship miraculously becomes accurate.
Although he can't shoot one shot at a distance of tens of meters as accurately as the veterans of the Four Lines Battalion who have been honed by the war for three months, after shooting five or six bullets, there will always be a result.
Some Japanese soldiers were hit in the legs, some were hit in the arms, and the more unlucky ones were naturally hit directly to the vital point and died.
Not to mention that the two demolition teams were beaten and jumped around in a panic. Sergeant Xiong Yi, who was hiding in the ruins dozens of meters away and watching, was also confused.
Could it be that his judgment was wrong?
The Chinese have been holding back until now and are they showing off their real skills?
But this is illogical. With this kind of marksmanship, he could have killed several people in the previous sudden attack.
Could it be that he just likes to see the splatter of blood up close? If explained this way, it might make sense.
Japanese veterans who have experienced the battlefield know that some people like to see the dripping blood in front of their eyes. Therefore, they like to use sharp knife points to open the chests of Chinese people who have kneeled and surrendered, not just because they want to save money.
bullet.
"Baga! Damn Chinese." The Japanese sergeant felt that he had found the reason and gritted his molars.
This Chinese who chose his own Jedi is a devil. He does not take his own life as his own, and prefers to watch his opponent struggling in a pool of blood. Killing his opponent in an alley so that he cannot enjoy it too freely must be
Such.
The devil will imagine everyone as a devil.
Unfortunately, Crow was not the same. Although he was kneeling in that dark night, because of another loss, he also cursed God angrily and would rather turn into a devil.
But he still didn't after all. Hatred gave him pleasure in killing, but the boy who had a similar experience to him was still hidden by him without being discovered by the Japanese army. This was the brilliance of his humanity.
Death, for him, was no longer fearful, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to shoot at the Japanese troops here. He could have chosen to hide, and then use the familiar terrain to leave here in the dark.
Although the chance of survival is very small, after all, it is much better than being surrounded by dozens of Japanese soldiers and almost certain death.
Demon, under the pagoda.
On the pagoda, there is just an ordinary person trying to kill demons in a desperate situation.
However, some people will give up on themselves and give up resistance in desperate situations, while others can burst out with extraordinary energy in desperate situations.
Crows, for example, fall into the latter category.
The surge of adrenaline kept him in an extremely excited state, and his self-confidence became stronger and stronger. Naturally, he became more and more comfortable in shooting.
More importantly, he also had a good friend. Not only was he loading bullets faster and faster, but he also always reported the location of the Japanese army so accurately that the crow didn't even look at it.
Just aim at the position mentioned by the little bald head and shoot.
Even if Tang Dao is here, he has to express his admiration for this duo who have a tacit understanding of each other. This is completely the model of a sniper and an observer in the future!
The two Japanese demolition teams injured 5 people and killed 2 people, leaving only 3 people huddled in the ruins and did not dare to move forward.
Komura Kumaichi also has numb claws. Even if he goes up, there is no guarantee that he can pass through the 20-meter death zone intact.
The battle situation reached a brief stalemate again.
At the Xicheng police outpost a few hundred meters away.
Wang Gongyu and Liu Yuqing, who came to greet the security group but did not leave because the Japanese army fired poison gas bombs, were looking into the distance with binoculars.
Cangcheng, 800 meters away, was under continuous artillery fire, indicating that the Japanese army, which had changed its main attack direction, and the Cangcheng defenders were engaged in a fierce battle.
There is an entire infantry company of the 26th Division there, which is one of the few assets of the 26th Division with only 700 people left. As the division commander, how can Liu Yuqing not care?
I called the Cangcheng front line to ask how the battle was going. I don't know if the phone lines had been blown up or if Tang Dao had already gone to the front line, but there was no answer at all.
There was no other way. Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing, who was concerned and confused, could only walk up to the simple guard post fortification built with only sandbags and logs on the wall, and looked into the distance with a telescope.
The guard post fortifications are well protected against heavy machine guns. If you are hit by artillery fire, if you are unlucky, you will be doomed. Wang Gongyu doesn't want to, but he is a major general, Liu Yuqing is a lieutenant general, and the officers are all in. He, a major general, even goes up to the mountain of swords.
Even in the sea of fire, one has to sacrifice his life to accompany him.
Fortunately, Commissioner Wang also has loyal people around him who are by his side regardless of life or death.
That was Zhuang Shisan, commander of the first battalion of the security group. This guy didn’t know which tendon was wrong. Even though the security group was allowed to retreat to the air-raid shelter 300 meters away from the west city gate for repairs, this guy insisted on accompanying him.
Sir, go to the top of the city.
Commissioner Wang was moved for a while. The other two battalion commanders got the order and ran quickly with their men. But this second-rate battalion commander, who usually received the most complaints from the wealthy households in the city, actually chose to stay with him. What?
How long does it take to see people's hearts? This is it.
Then, Commissioner Wang soon understood that the matter of seeing people's hearts over time only belongs to men and women, and for men, all they can do is to be sentimental.
The sudden burst of gunfire from the neighborhood three to four hundred meters away made Master Zhuang almost jump.
"Commander, that's a crow, it must be a crow! I know that guy won't die so quickly." Master Zhuang grabbed hold of Wang Gongyu. "Commander, save him. Half of my brothers in the first battalion are already gone.
, can’t die anymore.”
Rescue? What rescue? Send someone to rush over? Is it you or me? Wang Gongyu’s face turned bitter, he looked ahead with a telescope and said nothing.
"Why, didn't we notify the brothers of the security team to evacuate almost half an hour in advance? Why are there still people stranded?" Liu Yuqing, who had been paying close attention to Cangcheng, also frowned.
"I don't know, maybe there are brothers who haven't received the retreat message!" Wang Gongyu shook his head, with a bitter look on his face. "Listen to the sound of gunfire, there are machine guns and shell guns. I'm afraid there are quite a few people."
"No, it's just the crow. I've just done an inventory. Basically, all the people from every company and platoon who are still alive have come out. Even guys like Wang Laoshi who are hanging with only one breath have been carried out." Zhuang Shisan shook his head sadly.
He shook his head, pleading in his eyes.
"Sir, please save him. That bitch is not a very good person at ordinary times, but this time he used Molotov cocktails to kill two small Japanese tanks and saved our first battalion. Otherwise, I am afraid that our first battalion will not even be able to survive this time."
Not even a third is left."
"Oh? He actually killed two 94 armored vehicles? He is a character." Liu Yuqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
To be honest, not to mention Wu and Guo, they initially planned to treat the 2,000 people from the security group as abandoned children in the neighborhood outside the West City. They just thought of the role of delaying the Japanese army's attack on the main city. For this Lieutenant General of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army
As for the division commander, he knew the combat effectiveness of the so-called local security group, and he looked down on these 2,000 people from the bottom of his heart. He even predicted in his mind that they could defend for more than 2 hours, even if they had the skills.
But the combat power that the security group unleashed in an area suitable for them shattered the eyes of a group of regular army generals.
Even Liu Yuqing, who personally led the army to resist the Japanese army for seven days and nights in Dachang Town, had to admit that even if he sent his last 700 elite troops there, he would not be able to do better than them.
Take the Japanese armored vehicles with fearless heavy machine guns as an example. The 26th Division, which lacks heavy firearms, often needs to sacrifice an infantry squad or even two infantry squads to blow up one. However, a soldier from their security regiment can do it.
Here we are, even if we have the advantage of terrain.
Such people are talents.
Moreover, a battalion commander who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel for his military exploits begged him so, this face must be given.
Of course, the security team earned this reputation by themselves through military exploits.
"Aqiang, take my military order and find a brother from the security group who is familiar with the terrain. Change into a Japanese military uniform and sneak out of the city to see the situation. If you can save someone, use a red flare as a signal. I will notify you.
The mortar battalion will provide fire support to you." Liu Yuqing turned around and called to his guard squad leader. "Also, if you can, go to Cangcheng to see the battle situation. If the battle situation is urgent, use a green flare as a signal. I can
Inform the command headquarters to mobilize artillery support from the entire army."
"Yes!" The soldier's low voice receiving orders came from outside the guard post.
