Chapter 38 Vanguard (Part 2)
Time passes quietly in a suffocating waiting.
When the national army was at least more than 300 meters away, the distance between the Japanese scattered soldiers suddenly widened, and the distance between the two adjacent scattered soldiers was at least ten meters. When the distance was 200 meters, the Japanese scattered soldiers began to walk on the left and right, and occasionally lie down without warning. At the same time, the fire support teams of the Japanese wings stopped advancing and set up firepower on the spot.
Two thousand meters away, Master Shigemi Ohara was holding a telescope and staring at this side without a moment. Seeing that the Japanese army was approaching within 200 meters, the national army opposite was still no movement. Shigemi Ohara couldn't help but frowned, and cursed hatefully, saying that the national army was so calm, this was not a good phenomenon.
When the distance was only more than a hundred meters, the Japanese army, who were doing various tactical avoidance actions, suddenly straightened their waists, and then accelerated to the opposite national army position with bayonets. At such a close distance, new recruits with a little training could easily hit the target, so it was useless to do tactical avoidance actions. At this time, just rush up as quickly as possible, contact the enemy's close forces, and use bayonets and the will to decisive death to destroy the enemy's fighting spirit!
At the same time, the two Japanese fire support teams on both wings also opened fire, but the Chinese army officers and soldiers were all huddled in the trenches and did not show up. The Japanese support fire was basically fighting blindly.
The Japanese army charged silently, and the distance between the two sides approached quickly.
In the trenches, many soldiers of the National Army were already in their throats. A few impatients had already started to use bayonets and were preparing to fight with the Japanese hand-to-hand combat, but the veterans were veterans. No matter how anxious they were, none of them fired without authorization.
Xu Shijiu slowly pushed the box cannon's holster to the gun handle. When the Japanese scattered soldiers were about to cross the fifty-meter line to throw a grenade, he finally stood up suddenly from the trench. The box cannon in his hand hit the shoulder and hit the vital point of the Japanese lieutenant in front. The Japanese lieutenant fell to the ground with two steps ahead.
The next moment, more than a hundred soldiers of the National Army stood up from the trenches. Among them, the more than a hundred branches were formally made, made in Hanyang, and the old sleeves and two Czech light machine guns fired at the same time. The trajectories suddenly cut through the battlefield filled with smoke, forming a tight fire net that covered more than twenty Japanese scattered soldiers.
However, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side are worthy of being the elite from the seventeen permanent divisions. Years of hard training have created their almost instinctive tactical evasion reactions. Almost at the same time the opposite army showed up, they instinctively fell to the ground. Only six or seven of the national army's tight fire nets were piled up, and a dozen remaining volleys shot at the national army.
Two thousand meters away, Ohara Shigemi shouted repeatedly while adjusting the telescope focal length to observe the machine gun fire point of the National Army, and said to the deputy captain Fujimoto Captain: "Fujimoto, the firepower of the opposite Chinese army is very weak. Immediately calibrate the coordinates of the fire point and guide the artillery squadron to destroy its fire point."
"Hayi!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly lowered his head and took the order.
Ohara Shigemi ordered the messenger to say, "Order, the Maehara team retreat!"
"Hayi!" The commander suddenly lowered his head, climbed to the armored car beside him and started chanting the flag. Seeing the flag chanting in the rear, the Japanese Chief Cao, who was taking over the command in front, took the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers to retreat alternately, but on the way back, seven or eight were piled up by the national army, and in the end less than ten escaped alive.
The next moment, the six seven-five mountain cannons attached to the Weiyuan Brigade were like eyes, and they rushed towards the location where the two Czech light machine guns of the National Army were. Fortunately, Xu Shijiu had a lot of combat experience. As early as the Japanese retreat, he had ordered the two light machine guns to be transferred.
After a sudden attack on fire, the Japanese army showed their fierce fangs, led by two Type 95 light tanks, supplemented by a whole infantry squadron, and crushed the Kuomintang position on the left wing of Fort Mount with a fierce force. Obviously, Ohara Shigemi thought that she had figured out the firepower configuration of the national army and planned to achieve her contribution in one battle.
The leopard approached Xu Shijiu and bit his back teeth and said, "Grandma, you're in trouble now."
Xu Shijiu also looked solemn. Compared with Sud or American-English tanks, the Japanese Type 95 light tank is not even a real tank. Its 12mm thin iron sheet and even a 20mm machine cannon cannot withstand it, but it is more than enough to suppress infantry. The Kuomintang lacks effective counter-arm weapons, so it is said that it can only fill it up with human lives.
After gritting his teeth, Xu Shijiu turned his head and shouted: "Vanguard, blow up the little Japanese iron turtle for me!"
Nearly a hundred soldiers of the army were all focused on Lao Zhao and another veteran. The vanguard refers to the soldiers standing in each row of ranks in line. Not everyone can stand in this position. Everyone in this position is the leader in the army. At the same time, those who stand in this position must also be ready to die at any time!
A trace of struggle finally appeared on Lao Zhao's cold face, but soon, he pressed down the struggle, then reached out to take the grenade handed over by his comrades, untied his legs and tied more than a dozen grenades into a large bundle, unscrewed the lids of the grenades in the middle, and twisted several fuses together.
Another veteran there did the same thing and also made cluster grenades.
Before we could say goodbye, Lao Zhao and the veteran got into the depression in front of the formation with cluster grenades.
"Everyone has it, firepower cover!" Xu Shijiu drove the box cannon with the butt to the express machine, then stood up from the trench against his shoulder and shot a long shot in front. The next moment, hundreds of grenades suddenly threw out, and then hundreds of various rifles and only two Czech light machine guns also opened fire violently in front.
With the cover of gunpowder, Lao Zhao and another veteran jumped up and rushed forward at full speed.
The tank suppression of infantry is brutal, but the vision of the passengers in the vehicle is also very cramped, so the infantry must be protected together, otherwise it will be easily blasted by enemy infantry. The route of advance chosen by Lao Zhao and the veteran is in the blind spot of the Japanese tank's vision, but they cannot escape the vision of the Japanese infantry who are jointly protected.
Seeing two soldiers of the National Army rushing towards him with bundles of grenades, the Japanese infantry who were shooting frantically with the National Army immediately realized the danger, and turned their guns and poured firepower on Lao Zhao and the veteran.
Although the Japanese infantry was only equipped with a single-shot 38 cap, and they had to pull the bolt when they shot, and although both Lao Zhao and Zhao were experienced veterans of a hundred battles, wars were always cruel, and bullets were never divided into so-called justice and evil. They advanced less than thirty meters before another veteran was shot and fell to the ground.
"Firepower cover, firepower cover!" Xu Shijiu roared repeatedly, holding the box cannon and firing wildly. The bullets fired from the opposite side flew past his ears from time to time, and even felt the burning heat coming from the bullet body. Xu Shijiu was unaware of it, and still straightened his waist and shot wildly in front of him.
Xu Shijiu knew very well that as long as he could kill the Japanese tank, it would be worth it no matter how much it cost!
This is because if the Japanese tanks cannot be killed, not only will the left-wing position fail to survive, but the entire Taiwan position of more than 600 National Army soldiers will be killed!
More than a hundred national troops also started fire, and 7.7mm caliber machine gun bullets on Japanese tanks were poured over. The soldiers of the national army who were firing frantically with their waists were falling one by one in pools of blood, but none of them retreated, and none of them ran away. They also knew that no matter how many lives they had filled, they would attract the attention of the Japanese tanks.
"Firepower cover, firepower cover!" Xu Shijiu screamed. As soon as he changed into a new magazine and hit it halfway, he only heard a tingling sound. The bolt, which was already severely worn, could not bear the destruction of the continuous shooting. It suddenly popped up backwards and a bloody mouth hit Xu Shijiu's forehead.
Xu Shijiu fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
Old Zhao carried bundles of grenades, jumped left and right, rushed forward and rolled back, making his forward route as irregular as possible. However, the firepower of the Japanese army blocking his forward route was too dense. In addition to at least half of the infantry in the squadron, at least two crooked light machine guns were also added to the blockade.
When the Japanese tank was about thirty meters away, Lao Zhao was finally shot.
At least six or seven burning machine gun bullets shot him, hitting his chest and abdomen in an instant, and Lao Zhao turned over and fell to the ground. The power in his body was like a tide that was ebbing from the tide, leaving him in an instant. Through the thick smoke, looking at the lingering white clouds in the sky, Lao Zhao suddenly had his hometown in front of him.
The blue sky is like washing and the white clouds are floating. Lao Zhao led the old cow on the country road, and his daughter with a braided braid followed him jumping behind him. Behind the two, the hills were green and the fields were like combs.
"Dad, do you want your mother and Nannan?"
"No, my dad can do anything, but I can't live without my daughter."
"Then why do you want to go to Shanghai? Shanghai is so far away, you won't take Nannan there."
"Because there are groups of robbers in Shanghai, they want to bully Nannan, and their father has to beat the robbers away."
"Dad, these robbers are so bad. Go and beat them quickly. My mother and I will tie many red ribbons on the old mulberry at the entrance of the village. My mother said that when Nannan tied a hundred red ribbons, you will beat the robbers away and go home."
Nannan's pleasant voice gradually faded away, and replaced by the creaking sound of Japanese tank tracks. Through the thick smoke, Lao Zhao saw the outline of the Japanese tank. Less than two meters away, he silently called Nannan in his heart. Lao Zhao miraculously restored his strength, then pulled the fuse and rolled sideways under the tracks of the Japanese tank.
The next moment, a dazzling red light suddenly rose under the tracks of the Japanese tank, and the entire tank was overturned to the ground by the air waves generated by the explosion.
#############
Yuyao, Zhejiang, Zhaojiaao.
A young woman from Huaxin was leading a seven or eight-year-old girl to tie a red ribbon to the old mulberry tree at the village head.
When the young woman tied the red ribbon and got off the ladder, the little girl looked at the red ribbons all over the tree and asked expectantly: "Mom, how many red ribbons have we tied? Are you coming back soon?"
Suddenly a breeze blew by, and the red ribbons on the trees danced gently in the wind.
