The first wave of probing attacks by the Japanese army was repelled by the second company. The fighting was fierce in other positions outside Guanghuamen. The Japanese army who took advantage of the night to sneak attack did not take advantage. Apart from leaving corpses on the ground,
The Japanese army didn't seem to get any benefits. The barrages that shuttled back and forth between the two sides slowly weakened and disappeared. Except for sporadic gunshots, the entire Second Teaching Regiment's position returned to silence, making Xie Chengrui feel safe and comforted.
What is surprising is that the heavy machine guns and mortars deployed on the outer positions of Guanghuamen did not participate in the counterattack just now. As long as the Japanese army's probing attack did not detect the location of these heavy weapons, the next time the Japanese army came to attack, they would be defeated.
"The Japanese army is coming, the Japanese army is touching it." Tang Cheng had just loaded the bullets for his Mauser rifle when he heard the warning sentry at the front of the position shouting, and then saw the machine gun bursting from the position on the left side of the Second Company.
Yan. The Japanese attack came very quickly. The hidden sentry lurking outside the position only shouted twice and then fell silent. If the machine gun hadn't fired first, other positions might not have taken it seriously.
"Boom" "Boom" With the help of the explosion of grenades thrown from the left position of the Second Company, Tangcheng discovered that the main target of the Japanese attack this round was the position on the left side of the Second Company. More than 60 or so
The Japanese army had reached a distance of only twenty meters from the front of the position, and was using the corpses of their companions to shoot at the defenders in the position.
"Grenade, grenade", Liu Yangyang knew the truth. Without knowing whether there was a sneak attack by the Japanese troops in front of his position, Liu Yangyang directed the soldiers in his company to throw a grenade at the outpost position on the left.
A round of grenades. Looking at the pieces of corpses abandoned high by the air waves in the firelight, Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, felt that his whole body was weak as if exhausted, especially the intestines falling everywhere like long ropes, which made him even more...
I couldn't help but almost vomited.
It was obviously a big mistake for the Japanese army to choose close combat for this round of attack. The troops holding the position on the left side of the Second Company were the most powerful company in the Second Regiment. Not only were the majority of the personnel full of veterans, but they were also light and heavy
There were 6 machine guns. The Japanese soldiers charging in with 6 light and heavy machine guns suffered heavy casualties, especially Liu Yangyang's second company, which also helped throw a round of grenades and could touch Japanese soldiers within 5 meters outside the trench alive.
There were very few, and none wanted to jump into the trenches.
"Shelter, bombardment," Biaozi shouted, throwing Tang Cheng, who was stunned, into the bunker. The Japanese army started a new round of shelling. The second company's position was close to the position that was targeted by the Japanese army just now.
, so they were also affected by the artillery fire from the Japanese army. After several rounds of shelling, Liu Yangyang's second company lost four more people. "It's over, the little devils are coming for us." Under the pale light of the illumination bomb, Biao was
Tang Cheng, who had pulled himself up, looked at the front of his position. Dozens of Japanese soldiers were approaching, using the bomb craters to hide their cover.
"Wait for my order to fire again." Under Liu Yangyang's hiss, the brothers in his company did not rush out to fight with bayonets like other positions, but continued to hide in the trenches, waiting for the Japanese troops to get closer before fighting. "Boom."
""Boom!" The artillery shells fired by the Japanese army are still bombarding Liu Yangyang's position. Perhaps the Japanese army who came to sneak attack just now felt that the firepower of the Second Company and the others here was not very strong, so they used this place as their breakthrough point, hoping to capture it in one fell swoop.
Here, at least until the Japanese troops come up and start attacking, their artillery fire is not going to stop.
The position of the Second Company, which was forced by Liu Yangyang, was still silent. This made the Japanese soldiers who came up very uncomfortable. Until they were still meters away from the first trench of the Second Company, Liu Yangyang still did not fire, having already done so.
The Japanese soldiers who were ready to attack simply straightened up and began to run forward desperately. "It's now." Looking at the Japanese soldiers who straightened up, Liu Yangyang's eyes flashed with a cold look. The Japanese soldiers were about to launch an attack. "30
Meter grenade, 30 meter grenade." Several veterans who had been preparing for a long time heard Liu Yangyang's shout and threw the grenades in their hands.
There was no need for grenades at such a close distance. The grenades thrown out by Liu Yangyang's order flew directly behind the group of Japanese soldiers. "Fire, fire." Amidst the shouts of Liu Yangyang and the veterans, the grenades lying in the bunker
The soldiers of the Second Company pulled the trigger. The grenade thrown behind the Japanese army exploded with "boom" and "boom". The smoke filled with flying shrapnel had blocked the escape route of the Japanese army and also blocked the Japanese troops behind.
The line of sight of the military machine gunner. The Japanese machine gunner, whose sight was blocked, was unable to provide fire support to the attacking Japanese army, so he had to lie down and wait for the smoke to dissipate.
The grenades that exploded in the rear provided Tang Cheng and the others with the location of the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops exposed in Tang Cheng's sight looked like targets. Tang Cheng and the others, who were using rifles, just shot at the Japanese soldiers who stood up straight.
Yes, the leaked Japanese troops naturally had machine guns to deal with them. After the machine gun replaced the third magazine, the Japanese troops who attacked outside the first trench retreated again, but they did not have time to take back the corpses they abandoned this time, and Liu
Goat's second company lost two more brothers, and the 33 men he finally managed to piece together were now only 24, which could barely be counted as two infantry squads.
Just now, it was a battlefield where the two armies were fighting for their lives, but now it became silent. The position was littered with severed limbs and broken arms scattered on the smoking scorched earth. There were two Japanese armored vehicles parked on the left and right sides of Tangcheng's position.
The flames on his body roared in the night. They were destroyed by anti-war artillery and were fire support from the city gate during the battle. The flaming armored vehicles just illuminated the two wings of their position in Tangcheng. The Japanese army could not help but
They would risk being discovered by the opponent's machine guns and launch a forceful attack, so Tangcheng and the others gained temporary safety.
The Japanese army retreated, but the soldiers on the position never dared to close their eyes, because no one knew when the Japanese army would next attack. It might be half an hour, it might be an hour, it might be the next day.
Another shell would fall in seconds, and then a large group of Japanese troops would rush over with howls. Tang Cheng, who was huddled in the bunker with his gun in hand, fell asleep regardless. Since yesterday, he had not slept a wink.
, the extreme excitement made him unable to sleep at all. He stayed in the Second Company out of friendship and was not a timid person, but when he actually raised his gun and pointed it at the Japanese army on the opposite side, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart.
The artillery fire in the distance was still ringing uninterrupted. Without a telescope, you could see bursts of red light flashing in the air. That was the Japanese army attacking other peripheral positions outside Nanjing. The gunfire was like fried beans and was endless.
The soldiers lying in the bunker could only hold their rifles tightly and listen to the movement outside the position, for fear of becoming the next person to be killed by the Japanese forwards. The flares rising from time to time in the air brought a burst of fire.
Under the white death light of the formation, Pockmarked Face and two quick-footed reinforcements crawled into the first trench that had been bombed into ruins, groping for the dead bodies, and carefully groped for the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
Not only did they serve as night watch sentries, they were also tasked with collecting ammunition and equipment for the Second Company. Bullets, grenades, 38 rifles, anything that could be considered weapons and ammunition, they quietly stripped from the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
He came down and tied it to the hemp rope he brought. One end of the long hemp rope was in the first trench, and the other end was held in the hands of Qiu Jiangong and the other veterans, so that Pockmarked Face and the others would be able to use it when they retreated.
To lighten the burden, just pull the hemp rope back, and the collected weapons and ammunition can be pulled back here by the hemp rope.
Tang Cheng, who suddenly woke up from his sleep, looked at the actions of the veterans with cold eyes, but said nothing. These veterans have their own special skills that they have survived on the battlefield. If they were replaced by the supplementary soldiers, they would be stupid.
Carrying the collected things and running back, as long as they make a noise that alerts the Japanese troops hiding in the dark, they will immediately attract a string of bullets or several artillery shells. This method of veterans can not only reduce the casualties of their companions, but also
It can find the firepower point of the Japanese army for your own machine gunners. This is a method that can be thought of by individuals, and it is really a great benefit.
"Captain Yang, the commander said there are no extra manpower to supply your second company. No one of your second company can retreat to the city until you receive the order to retreat. If you disobey, kill Liu Yangtou, who was chewing dry biscuits.
He also killed the messenger soldiers sent by Xie Chengrui without any hesitation. There were only 24 people left in his second company. It was hard to say whether these few people could last until dawn. What else could he say about disobeying orders? Liu Yangyang
If you want to retreat to the city, I'm afraid the brothers guarding the city gate won't let you in.
When the pockmarked man crawled back with the two reinforcements, Liu Yangyang just drank half of his dry pancake with cold water. "I didn't get anything useful, just a few reasonably good rifles and ten
A few grenades, no machine guns or anything like that." When Tang Cheng carried his rifle over, he happened to catch up with his pockmarked face taking out cigarettes for Liu Yangyang from his military uniform pocket. There was a cigarette box with a golden bat painted on it.
You can tell by looking at them that they are Japanese cigarettes, and you can tell without asking that these cigarettes still stained with blood were touched by Mazilian from the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
The most smokers in the second company were smokers. Even after Tang Cheng arrived at the second company, he became more enthusiastic about smoking. Liu Yangyang and the other veterans smoked to suppress the corpse odor on the battlefield, while Tang Cheng did it because of the hesitation and hesitation in his heart.
Helpless. I don’t know when he started, but Tang Cheng suddenly realized that the current life of gunfire and bullets was not the life he wanted. It seemed to be too far away from the life he had longed for in the church, and he had not had it for a long time.
