Although the Japs retreated, Su Yuan did not feel relaxed at all. The Japs would definitely launch a more violent attack next. Looking at the sun slanting in the sky, it was still early before dark, and the soldiers had exhausted their ammunition in the brief confrontation.
It was very big. Su Yuan had never been so worried that he could not complete the task, but this time he was really a little uneasy.
He faced too many Japanese soldiers, and the deputy company commander hunched over, "What are the casualties?" Su Yuan asked.
"Damn it, are the Japanese crazy? I have never seen such a crazy attack." The deputy company commander cursed: "In just a moment, more than 20 people died, and a dozen others were injured.
Almost half."
Li Zhuang came over and interjected: "But the Japs didn't get any advantage either. I took a look and found that at least sixty or seventy Japs fell in front of our position."
"Our mission is to hold on until dark." Su Yuan said, and then ordered: "Deputy company commander, you send the wounded down and let the soldiers from the third platoon prepare to come up."
However, the injured soldiers fought vigorously and knew that it was a fierce battle and that the position needed manpower. No one was willing to withdraw. In the end, Su Yuan had to let a few seriously wounded soldiers withdraw.
The soldiers took the time to repair their positions and prepare to face the next round of Japanese attacks. At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded in the sky, and the Japanese shelling began again.
This time it was countless times more ferocious than the last time. The entire position was shrouded in flames and smoke. The position was almost flattened by bombs. The number of sacrificed and injured soldiers continued to increase. Su Yuan felt that time was so long...
No! Su Yuan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He shook off the dust from his body and lay on the ground to watch. The Japanese had already launched an attack.
Seeing that the Japanese had advanced to only 200 meters away from the position, the Japanese bombardment showed no sign of stopping.
"Get ready to fight!" Su Yuan shouted loudly, but amid the constant explosions, the soldiers could not hear his order at all. Everyone thought that, as before, they would wait for the enemy's shelling to become sparse before counterattacking.
In desperation, Su Yuan pulled up a soldier next to him and shouted into his ear: "Inform the soldiers to fight me immediately."
"Yes." The soldier braved the artillery fire to announce this, but before he could run a few steps, a shell fell and his body was thrown into the sky.
The Japanese were getting closer and closer. Su Yuan eagerly ran towards the heavy machine gun. Shells continued to fall around him. Finally, he came to the heavy machine gun.
At this time, Xiao Wu was hiding under the heavy machine gun. He and the machine gun were covered with his own quilt. Suddenly, he felt the quilt being lifted. Before he knew it, the company commander had pushed him aside.
Su Yuan adjusted the muzzle of the gun and pressed the triggering iron at the approaching Japanese. The 92 heavy machine gun immediately burst into flames and bullets poured out towards the Japanese.
The fierce sound of machine gunfire awakened the hidden soldiers, and they braved artillery fire to shoot at the Japanese. "Company commander, let me do it." Xiao Wu asked with shame on his face.
Su Yuan didn't let go until he finished shooting all the bullets. Seeing that the Japanese were still attacking desperately, he shouted eagerly: "Li Zhuang, where did you die?"
"Company commander." After hearing the news, Li Zhuang ran over.
"Send someone immediately to notify the third platoon to come up." Su Yuan ordered.
"Yes." Li Zhuang took the order and made arrangements immediately, and then said to Su Yuan: "Are these Japs crazy? They attack without stopping the artillery fire, so they are not afraid of hurting themselves."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Yuan shouted. The Japs in front of the position were getting closer and closer, and the enemy's grenade launchers also began to fire. The soldiers' counterattack firepower weakened in the artillery fire. If this continued, the Japs would soon rush up.
The Japanese must not be allowed to enter the position! Su Yuan urgently ordered to Li Zhuang: "You keep an eye here and wait for the third platoon to come up and stand here."
"Company commander, you should stay." Li Zhuang immediately requested after understanding what the company commander meant.
"Execute the order!" Su Yuan just shouted: "Xiaowu, machine gun cover, suppress the Japanese behind." After saying that, Su Yuan picked up a rifle with a bayonet next to him and jumped out of the position and shouted: "Comrades, put the
The devils press down and charge!"
Su Yuan rushed straight into the group of Japs, sweeping forward with the bayonet in his hand. With his strong arms, he swung away the two Japs' bayonets that came towards him. His speed was quite fast. Before the Japs could come back, the bayonet in his hand had already stabbed.
He entered the chest of a Japanese, then stepped forward and kicked the Japanese away. The bayonet in his hand swiped along the way, and the gun blade scratched the neck of another Japanese. Without much effort, the Japanese's artery was accurately cut open, and the blood spurted out.
It shot out more than a foot away. The devil's power disappeared in an instant, and the dying devil fell down...
At this time, the soldiers behind him had already followed closely. This was a life and death battle. The soldiers filled with hatred fought heroically and fought in a melee with the fierce Japanese.
This was a battle of wills. The shouts of killing were intertwined with the clash of weapons, followed by the shouts of the wounded and the groans of the dying. The Japanese never expected that they would encounter an army here that dared to use the bayonet.
Troops, not only that, these warriors covered in gunpowder smoke and blood stains are even more brave, they are not afraid of their own life and death at all, the anger and murderous intent revealed in their eyes makes even the Japanese who think they are Bushido feel timid.
But the Japs did not dare to retreat, but resisted desperately. More and more people fell on the battlefield, and the shouts of killing gradually weakened. There were not many people left on the battlefield. Su Yuan was surrounded by the corpses of seven or eight Japs at his feet.
, in front of them were a man holding a command knife and a Japanese soldier holding a bayonet.
Su Yuan took a deep breath and saw the Japs holding the command knife looking at him with both hands, while the other Japs were behind him with bayonets in hand. He shouted and rushed forward.
It seemed that this Japs was unusual. Su Yuan's continuous thrusts were blocked by his command knife. Then the Japs raised his swords to strike at Su Yuan. Su Yuan raised his guns to stop him. The two of them were only one foot apart and glared at each other.
At this time, the Japanese behind saw an advantage, and he immediately stabbed Su Yuan with his bayonet in the left rib. Su Yuan could not avoid it. In the crisis, he twisted his body, tilted the gun in his hand, and the butt of the gun hit the enemy's head hard.
Hit the ground.
At this time, the Japanese's bayonet was also close to him. Fortunately, the fallen Japanese's body pressed down on the gun that was close to him. Even so, the bayonet had already penetrated Su Yuan's abdomen.
There was a tearing pain. It was between life and death. Su Yuan endured the pain. He did not retreat. Instead, he held the bayonet pierced into his body with his left hand and stabbed straight at the Japanese with the gun in his right hand.
The Japanese's gun was not only suppressed but also had the bayonet grabbed by Su Yuan. The Japanese could not retreat for a while, but the Japanese strictly abided by the infantry drill and could not give up the gun in their hands. Just when he was stunned to decide whether to give up or not, Su Yuan's
The bayonet has penetrated his neck...
Su Yuan took a breath and took a step back. The bayonet was withdrawn from his body, and blood gushed out with pain. Su Yuan covered it with his bloody left hand and looked around the battlefield. The pain in his heart was far more intense than the pain in his body.
There were no Japs on the battlefield, but there were no soldiers standing either. Dozens of soldiers were all killed. At this time, the Japs' shelling had stopped, and the entire position calmed down for a while...
