The cessation of shelling by the Japanese army was a signal to prepare for battle. They had experienced many battles with the Japanese army, and the officers of the training team had long been aware of this. Xie Chengrui and Liu Yangyang put down their binoculars almost at the same time, but Xie Chengrui was at his temporary command post
Inside, Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng were lying on the city wall. Liu Yangyang, who was condescending, took a breath of air-conditioning. He estimated that this Japanese army must have at least 500 people, and the defenders on the city wall had no strength or firepower.
Not dominant.
Xie Chengrui, who had moved the command post to the position, was also frowning. After his Second Teaching Regiment experienced the melee in the outer positions in the past few days, the number of troops that could be mobilized was less than half of the usual number. If the Japanese troops outside the city had been there from the beginning,
If such a large-scale force is used to launch an attack, I am afraid that Guanghuamen will not even be able to defend it tonight and will be breached by the Japanese army.
The order to fire was never given. The hands of the soldiers lying in the position began to sweat, and the finger holding the trigger seemed to be no longer their own. This was Xie Chengrui testing his troops and facing his personal tactical qualities and skills.
The excellent, brutal and crazy Japanese infantry and the weak defenders could only put the Japanese troops within 50 meters before opening fire. Only in this way could the defenders inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese troops. Xie Chengrui only knew that if the Japanese troops broke through today
He was guarding the Guanghua Gate, and the captain could kill him without waiting for a military court.
"Boom" "Boom" followed by several loud noises, billowing black smoke and fire appeared in the formation of the Japanese attacking troops almost simultaneously. Among the broken limbs and broken arms falling one after another, several Japanese soldiers covered in blood
He fell to the ground, rolling and screaming. The sudden explosion was caused by the Japanese attacking soldiers stepping on a landmine planted by the engineers of the training team. Although this British infantry mine could not deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, it was used for the Japanese army.
The infantry is more than enough to add some trouble.
"Fire, fire." When the mine was detonated, it was the order to fire. The officers' shouts rang out from the silent city wall. The Guanghua Gate shrouded in smoke suddenly seemed like a giant dragon resurrected in an instant, spitting fire at the Japanese army amidst lightning and thunder.
The airtight rain of bullets. The veterans in Xie Chengrui's army began to show their talents. This was the best opportunity for them to truly put what they had learned into actual combat. The broad field of vision allowed the condescending Mauser sniper rifle to shoot at 100 kilometers.
They had almost terrifying accuracy at a distance of feet. Although they were not yet lethal with their guns, the sergeants in the Japanese army formation and the lieutenants carrying sabers became the best targets for the veterans.
Suddenly blocked by a dense barrage from the defenders, and the grassroots officers received enthusiastic attention from the opponent's shooters, the Japanese offensive team fell into chaos. However, the experienced and well-trained Japanese troops soon discovered that almost most of the bullets were fired.
It came from the north side of the garrison position. The Japanese troops who had lost their command began to gather in small groups on their own. The Japanese troops even started to fight back with grenades and light mortars.
In the dust raised by the grenade explosion, Xie Chengrui's troops began to suffer casualties. The Japanese 38-type Tomosaka rifles could not shoot as fast as the Mauser rifles of the training team. In the early stage of the fire, the defenders' light and heavy machine guns caused greater damage to the Japanese troops, but
After the Japanese army retreated to a distance of 100 meters, the shooting accuracy of the defenders dropped significantly. At this time, the power of the Japanese soldiers' individual shooting accuracy gradually became apparent.
The precise shooting of the Japanese army continued to increase the casualties of the defenders. Only now did Tangcheng know the reason why Liu Yangyang did not let the second company sit next to the machine gun position. This was because since the Japanese army began to fight back, the defenders' machine gunners had suffered the most casualties.
The defenders at the machine gun position were also bombarded by Japanese light mortars. Tang Cheng, who pulled the gun bolt, sighed softly. What Xie Bo's notes said was correct, there was a lack of effective support from artillery and aircraft.
, the Japanese would be able to bombard the Japanese positions unscrupulously.
The battle continued. Under the cover of artillery fire, whole groups of Japanese soldiers launched more and more crazy charges. In just the past hour, the Japanese army launched no less than 6 attacks on Guanghua Gate. In front of the position, the position
There were corpses everywhere. The corpses in front of the position belonged to the Japanese army, and the corpses on the position belonged to the defenders. The uniforms of the dead soldiers on both sides were stained red with blood. It was difficult to tell which camp they belonged to just by the color of the uniforms.
For the seventh time, Tang Cheng loaded a bullet bridge into the magazine of the rifle. This was already the seventh Japanese attack that he had repelled. But looking at the soldiers around him, from their increasingly frightened faces, Tang Cheng
Cheng really couldn't see how long they could hold on. The officers began to roar again with hoarse voices, and the Japanese troops came up again, densely packed like ants who had found food. The familiar sounds of gunfire sounded on the battlefield again, and the positions
People were constantly shot and fell on and outside the position, and those who came after them would take their place without hesitation, or step on their corpses and continue to advance. All this has long been familiar and numb.
No matter how timid you are, you will completely forget the fear of death when you get here, because they are facing death every moment. When your gun shoots down an enemy, you can never guess whether the next person to be shot down will be.
It will be you. This is the law of war. The muzzle of the machine gun is beating there. The movements of the machine gunners of the training team are completely mechanical. It seems that what they want to do is to shoot the last bullet in the magazine as quickly as possible.
go out.
A soldier raised his arm and tried to throw the grenade, but he just exposed his body from the bunker and was quickly knocked to the ground by the bullets fired by the Japanese army. Then, the grenade exploded beside him before he could throw it.
He himself, and a companion beside him, were blown down by his own grenade.
A Japanese sergeant was directing the team to charge, but he did not realize that there was already a black hole on the wall with a gun aimed at him. The gun rang out and hit the sergeant on the head. In an instant, the gunshot was filled with blood.
It flowed out. No one would have mercy on him, including the enemy and his own people. The soldiers behind him quickly stepped over his body and continued to charge forward desperately. No one knew his name, and no one would care about this issue.
, the only thing the soldiers care about is how to complete the charge mission as soon as possible and how to survive, that's all.
The attacking Japanese troops retreated again, but not a single cheer could be heard from the Guanghuamen position. It was quiet, so quiet that it was scary. The only sound that was interspersed was the sound of vomiting, vomiting in big mouthfuls, and I couldn't wait to hear it.
He could even vomit out his own liver. Tang Cheng was also vomiting, and a corpse whose Tianling cover had been opened by bullets fell beside him. Tang Cheng, who was all excited just now, was busy shooting at the Japanese soldiers outside the city.
After the Japanese army was repulsed again, Tang Cheng found himself lying down with a corpse for more than several minutes.
"Prepare to fight, the Japanese army is coming, prepare to fight." Uncharacteristically, the 36th Regiment outside the city launched an almost non-stop attack on Guanghua Gate. Just as Tangcheng wanted to change its position, the Japanese army outside the city attacked again.
Come over, and this time the number of people seems to be even larger. The world is instantly dyed red with blood. The sound of guns and artillery is clearly roaring, but for the soldiers on both sides, they cannot hear it at all.
any sound.
The machine gun positions on the city wall roared wildly. Heavy machine guns have always been the key target of the Japanese army. Withstanding the Japanese artillery fire, the defenders had replaced countless heavy machine gunners. Another heavy machine gun was hit and fell.
The companion beside him didn't even look at it. He just picked up his body and put it aside casually. Then he picked up the machine gun left by his companion. The heavy machine gun regained its vitality in his hands and continued.
It made a roar that frightened the Japanese soldiers.
Crazy, both the offensive and defensive sides were fighting crazy, and everyone had completely lost their minds. In their eyes, there were only killing and being killed. Those who died had no complaints, and those who were lucky enough to survive did not feel any
A place worth being happy about. The thick plasma slowly gathered together on the city wall, slowly forming large and small blood pools. The bodies of the fallen soldiers had no time to move down, so they could only be temporarily piled on the city wall.
Become part of the blood pool.
As the Japanese army continued to attack, the defenders' ammunition was rapidly consumed, grenades and bullets were used up in boxes and boxes, and the entire half of the machine gunner's body had become completely stiff due to the uninterrupted shooting. The commander of the battle
The officers could no longer roar, and the sounds coming out of their throats were hoarse and incomprehensible. In fact, at this point in the battle, the command of the officers was no longer needed, because on the city wall,
*** soldiers, each of them is working hard to survive.
Tang Cheng, who was lying behind the sandbag, could no longer remember how many bullets he had fired. His shoulder was in severe pain as if it had been split, but he continued to shoot at the Japanese soldiers outside the city because the soldiers around him were also absent.
Nianzi stopped and started shooting. Nianzi's Japanese light machine gun was out of bullets a long time ago. Nianzi, who was very lucky, was not injured until now. However, Jiujin, who was cautious, was hit in the shoulder by a bullet fired by the Japanese army. Although it was not
The severe bruises made Jiujin realize the danger of war.
The strong smell of blood in his nose and the severe pain in his shoulders made Tang Cheng look forward to the battle ending soon as he did now. Unfortunately, he could not be the leader of those Japanese soldiers, and looking at the current situation, the Japanese troops outside the city
There didn't seem to be any intention to give up. Finally, someone couldn't stand the cruelty of the battlefield. A soldier who looked not much older than Tangcheng threw away the rifle in his hand and wanted to escape from the battlefield. Unfortunately, he forgot that there were officers present on the city wall.
After the gunfire, the soldier who wanted to escape fell into a puddle of blood.
"Kill those who run away from the battle." The shout of the officer who fired the gun well explained the cruelty of military law. In the face of the bloody facts, the soldiers who also had the same thoughts of fleeing could only hope that the battle would end soon, just like Tang Cheng.
