Chapter 25 Deadlock
As soon as the security forces switched to offensive formation, they were fiercely taken care of by the village's machine guns, causing heavy casualties.
It is said that one can go up to heaven or enter the earth, so it is important to save one's life.
The security forces used the corpses as cover to fight back. Seeing that the gunshots in the village had become much less frequent, but their lives still mattered, they stopped shooting and lay down in the pit, making the pit deeper.
I lay down in the pit digging, not daring to turn around. I couldn't dig at the end under my feet, so I had to think of a way forward, digging out the bayonet bit by bit. It was quite difficult. When I looked up at the corpse in front of me, I couldn't hide the fear in my heart.
After a catastrophe, I moved faster.
Aren't the security forces who were trapped in the trap the same as the Eighth Route Army: Heaven follows the earth. It turns out that there is another saying that the dead go to heaven and the living descend to the earth.
Occasionally, one or two rounds of bullets were fired from the Eighth Route Army in the village, shooting out from the openings in the brick walls, with screams and warheads flying wildly. At first, some hit the ground, but slowly, those bullets basically just hit the ground in random directions.
The security forces drilled corpses.
Is grandma's love practice based on the brothers on the ground?
A recruit behind the courtyard wall felt as if he had hit one. He pulled the bolt of the gun, awkwardly pressed a bridge into the gun case, pulled out the clamp strip, pushed the bolt forward, and pressed to the right.
I pulled the trigger, but there was no movement. I quickly asked the veteran next to me: Brother, my gun is jammed.
The veteran turned his head, took a look at the four-four lances, and slapped the recruit on the head: "Grandma, press the bolt to the right as far as it will go. If you don't press it all the way, you'll get slapped."
Although the recruits are not familiar with the new rifle, the gun is short, has small recoil, and can shoot accurately. It is no worse than the 38-gun. The bullets are not fired as fast as the veterans. They cannot handle the large number of bullets. They keep shooting. The veterans should take a rest early.
Already.
Another bullet rushed out of the muzzle of the gun, and the gun slammed back and hit the recruit's shoulder.
When Hu Yi first arrived in the Jiulian Company, each soldier only had three or five rounds of ammunition. It was unthinkable to shoot like now without even sparing the corpses of the security forces. It is nonsense to say how good the marksmanship of the soldiers was. In the north, Chen Chong Company
Some old sleeves have a target position of only 30 meters.
It was unrealistic for the 30 or 40 men from the second company to dig trenches all around the village in half a night. They didn't dig trenches at all where there were houses, they just dug holes in the walls.
Taking advantage of the ceasefire between both sides, the restless soldiers of the Second Company did not go to sleep. A group of energetic soldiers started soil work again with hoes borrowed from ordinary people's homes. They beat those on the ground.
The security forces were very interested, but the company commander refused.
The two soldiers had just dug a bunker in the ground and were crawling out of it.
A man next to him walked over with a swaying step, holding a telescope in his hand, and looked very impressive.
"I say, you two, dig another section of this trench to the back."
You have worked hard for a long time in your relationship, but in the eyes of others, you have just dug a ditch? Are you going to dig it into the village and hit your own people?
"Hey, get a broken telescope."
"I thought the leader was here!"
The two soldiers curled their lips sourly, put their hoes on their shoulders and tried to change places.
"I'll let you shoot a few times later." He pointed at the crooked stick on Wu Shitou's back not far behind him.
"Really?" they all said in unison.
"I lied to you, haha..." Arrogant.
The two soldiers hesitated for a moment. Although the unscrupulous girl likes to take advantage, she always seems to be true to her word when doing business. I heard from the veteran that this fuming girl has done big business with the Second Company several times. Although she always took advantage, she really never got into trouble.
The two of them ran faster than a rabbit.
"How deep should you dig?" the soldier standing next to the dug trench asked excitedly.
"As deep as my neck."
“Why are we still digging in the village?”
"I'll dig it if I ask you to, and ask so many stupid questions."
Shaking his braid from side to side, he walked towards a courtyard on the east side and kicked open the ajar door. Several soldiers from the second company were squatting there, watching a recruit shooting a gun, and everyone was chattering.
When he was giving instructions, he turned around and looked around. When he saw it was Xiao Hongying, they all turned their heads and ignored him.
He ordered Wu Shitou to put the machine gun on the ground, followed by a whole bag of bullets. He pulled out a cavalry sword from Wu Shitou's back, expanded the shooting hole in the adobe wall a lot, and then pulled the machine gun hard to the hole.
, made two gestures.
The adobe cloth wall was stiff, and there was some sweat on my forehead.
She asked Wu Shitou to go into the house to grab some firewood and spread it on the ground. She climbed behind the shooting position, adjusted it, pulled out her new telescope, pointed it at the shooting hole, and looked out.
There were some bushes on the ground outside the shooting hole, blocking the view.
The soldiers of the second company had long known that their sight would be blocked when they lay on the ground and shot. They squinted and laughed together: before they could shoot, they had to go out and clear the bushes outside the shooting holes.
The little girl ignored it, pulled the gun skillfully, and pressed the trigger hard. Flames spurted out from the muzzle of the crooked gun, and the bushes in the path of the bullet were shot into the sky.
After firing thirty rounds of bullets, she rubbed her thin shoulders and picked up the telescope in front of her to look again. It was not bad. Except for a few thatches flying in the air, she had an unobstructed view ahead.
I lifted the left side of the machine gun to press the tablet, and threw in a bridge frame, six of them.
Everyone was stunned.
?
This attack by the security forces suffered heavy losses, and Battalion Commander Wang no longer had the high-spirited momentum.
His power has been severely suppressed by the Eighth Route Army. Maeda did not care about the casualties of the security forces. This time he came out with more than a thousand people and suffered between one and two hundred casualties, which had little impact on the overall situation.
What Maeda didn't expect was that the machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was so smooth.
"When will the infantry artillery arrive?"
The Japanese soldier next to him quickly replied: "We are still on the road. The Eighth Route Army dug out the highway in advance. The newly filled ditch needs to be compacted. There is a car stuck there. We are trying to push the car over."
The lieutenant next to me stepped forward: "How about sending some people back to increase the manpower and push the car directly over?"
Maeda had a dark look on his face: "What kind of situation is this? People are pushing the cars when they come out, so why do we need these cars? Can't we just push the cannons?"
"It's because those Eighth Route Army soldiers were too cunning. They buried grenades in the ditches they dug on the highway. Several of the imperial warriors who went to fill the ditches were already smashed to pieces."
The grenade will fire if a heavy object is pressed against it. If the car is driven fast and will not be hit by the grenade, the grenade will have a delay.
Hand grenades buried in the ground will be soaked by water in two or three days at most, and will not cause casualties to anyone passing by in the future.
There are still more than ten miles, and the range of infantry artillery is not enough.
?
Positional warfare is very cruel. The absence of heavy weapons is beneficial to the defending side. The few soldiers who stayed in the trenches to observe the attack of the security forces did not pay attention to the Japanese bombardment. It came too suddenly. The Japanese bombarded them with two rounds of mortars, nine times in a row.
Several soldiers were even injured.
Fortunately, we were in a plain area and the soil on the ground was relatively loose. The Second Company dug trenches for half a night. Although it was not standard, it still worked and the soldiers were not injured too much.
The heavy machine gun was carried to the north. The water in the heat sink of the heavy machine gun was boiling hot. Mancang was replacing the water in the water depression with cold water.
The machine gun position is in a common people's house. The shooting range outside is not very good. There is a large row of sparse woods. Through the telescope, you can see the Japanese headquarters. The Japanese artillery position is right next to it.
Hu Yi took the telescope away from his eyes and put it in his bag.
There were sporadic gunshots all around. The north side was originally Gao Yidao's defense zone, and the two company commanders stood together again.
"Hu, why don't you run away from me? There is a Japanese artillery platoon over there. It's not that far away. Why don't you come and take a shot?"
In the bushes in front of the machine gun position, Li Xiang leaned against the personal pit he had dug. There were two grenade tubes beside him. He felt unhappy. The two grenade tubes were of different lengths, which made him very dissatisfied.
I have long wanted to fire a few rounds at the Japanese artillery positions. The familiar ten-year-old type has insufficient range, and the eighty-nine-type has enough range, but I am not sure. I have not fired yet. There is another reason: the location is not suitable.
The individual soldier's pit is in the woods. The woods are a bit dense. If you move forward, there are security troops lying there and digging holes. They need a suitable position to pose a threat to the Japanese platoon artillery.
What's more, just these two grenade launchers, if you want to hit the Japanese mortars? Isn't it just looking for death?
