Chapter 50: Engaging the Enemy and Exchanging Fire
Climbing up the hill, there were only 6 regiment members left around Tang Cheng. The other regiment members either lost their strength or deserted. At this time, Tang Cheng had no intention of dealing with those guys who deliberately deserted, because he could see through his telescope
There was a puff of smoke. The presence of smoke meant the presence of someone. The only people who could appear in this barren mountain were bandits. All the fatigue had been replaced by the joy at this time.
Carefully moving the telescope in his hand, Tang Cheng began to carefully search the top of the mountain. Only after confirming that there was no danger, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ground, could move his body and change positions. The shining point that Lao Zhao mentioned was not revealed by Tang Cheng.
Cheng found that after spending more than ten minutes to confirm again and again, Tang Cheng made a safety gesture to the group members who were lying behind him. "Pa!" One of the group members who had just stood up and wanted to move up fell heavily, and Tang Cheng didn't give a damn.
When they had the chance to take action, the unconscious body slid down the hillside.
"Damn, damn." Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ground again, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the gunfire, but still found nothing. What he saw through the binoculars was only hillsides. There was another "pop" sound.
The gunshot rang out, and a member of the group who was trying to move his body was hit by a bullet and a stream of bloody arrows shot out. The screams immediately started. The member of the group who was not hit by the bullet in his vital parts opened his mouth wide and screamed with all his strength on the grassy slope.
.
"Tell him to shut up, he won't die." The upset Tang Cheng was even more confused by the screams of the group, and then turned around and cursed, while Old Zhao next to him grabbed a handful of weeds.
The big mouth of Tuanding was blocked. The injured Tuanding, whose mouth was stuffed with weeds, finally couldn't scream, but he twisted his body as hard as he could. After breaking free from Lao Zhao's control, he ignored the fact that his wounds were still there.
Bleeding, he slid down the hillside.
"Pah" was accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, followed by Liu Yangyang's shout, "Who the hell, if I see him deserting, he will be your fate." The injured group members who were killed by Liu Yangyang slowly walked along the hillside.
The comrade who was still twitching made the guys who tried to desert their jobs lower their heads. They really had no confidence that they could escape the bullets shot by Liu Yangyang. It took so many casualties to get there.
Here, Liu Yangyang no longer worried about being informed by the bandits of his group's arrival, and simply prepared to rely on the strength of the crowd to have a face-to-face confrontation with the bandits.
"There is smoke coming out over there, but I haven't found anyone out yet. I put a few people on the left side. If there is something going on on the left side, those guys should shoot and report." Liu Yangyang, who had just climbed up the hill, asked
And the situation, Tang Cheng, who had no clue, could only describe to Liu Yangyang one by one what he had encountered and what he could do. Liu Yangyang did not express dissatisfaction with Tang Cheng's anxiety.
When he was about the same age, he was just a recruit in the garrison. At that time, Liu Yangyang had never even fired a gun.
"You lead people to stay here to be on guard, and I'll take some people over to take a look." Without giving Tang Cheng a chance to stop him, Liu Yangyang personally led 40 men along the hillside towards the direction where the smoke was coming from. Liu Yangyang initially
He didn't take this bandit suppression seriously, but after approaching Qinglong Ridge, he encountered ambushes one after another, and the appearance of the Japanese caused everything that Liu Yangyang originally planned to be deviated. The bandit suppression was originally just for military training.
Action became a real battle.
The anger in Liu Yangyang's heart has accumulated to the point where it is about to explode. If the bandits cannot be found, Liu Yangyang can only choose to retreat and return to the county. The militia is the foundation of Gekunshan's foothold in Mengcheng. If the bandits are not found, they will return
In the county town, the casualties of more than a dozen people would definitely make Ge Kunshan change his face towards him. Liu Yangyang was not afraid of offending Ge Kunshan, but he was unwilling to lose to a group of bandits, so he decided to lead the team himself and act as a vanguard.
"Follow the machine gun. The remaining people put their bullets on fire and pay attention to the surrounding movements." Tang Cheng, who has no command experience at all, is just following the script. When fighting the Japanese army outside Guanghua Gate, Mazi commanded his squad in this way.
People. Watching Liu Yangyang walking further and further, Tang Cheng clenched the rifle in his hand tightly. Tang Cheng knew what the forward represented, especially Liu Yangyang's uniform was particularly conspicuous among a group of regiments. Tang Cheng
He could only pray for Liu Yangyang secretly, but he could not persuade Liu Yangyang to change his mind at all.
The fierce battle came too suddenly, just like the ambush they encountered several times before. When Liu Yangyang and the others were unprepared, gunshots suddenly rang out. A dozen bandits using short guns seemed to appear suddenly from the soil.
As they came, they used a dense rain of bullets to sweep away the dozen or so bandits led by Liu Yangyang, and then these bandits who had used up all their bullets disappeared into the mud without a trace. "There are tunnels, they have tunnels, and they blow them up with grenades."
Open, explode." Liu Yangyang fired a bunch of bullets with his shell gun and all hit the empty space. The hole he discovered immediately allowed Liu Yangyang to find a place to vent his anger.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The grenades thrown down by the regiment members expanded the dark holes into a large pit. The bandits dug more than one tunnel here to use thick wood as support.
After being blown down by a grenade, the place where it lost support collapsed into a big pit. "Da da da da da da" Liu Yangyang's misfortune seemed not to be over yet. The appearance of the big pit surprised the group members, but not yet.
When they looked at the big pit, several group members on the side were hit by a string of bullets and fell to the ground.
Liu Yangyang, who was extremely embarrassed, dragged the machine gunner who followed him into the big pit. At this time, he really felt the low combat effectiveness of the regiment. If it were the people from the second company here, they would throw grenades.
In the end, all the soldiers on the side had to do was to be careful and alert to the surrounding movements. "Da da da da da da da" Liu Yangyang led the regiment down the mountain one after another and fell into a pool of blood. The opponent's machine gun fire was very accurate.
Liu Yangyang in the pit couldn't find any chance to fight back.
Tangcheng on the hillside was determined to go to the rescue, but this group of bandits had been running this place for a long time. The bandits had cleaned up the entire hillside near their lair. Not to mention it was a suitable cover for hiding the body, which was only ten centimeters above the ground.
There were not many grass branches. Liu Yangyang, who was suppressed by the opponent's gunfire in the big pit, obviously thought of this and did not wave to Tangcheng and the others on the hillside for help, because he knew that no matter how many people came down, it would be useless.
.
"Jiu Jin, bring all the grenades." Tang Cheng on the hillside was red-eyed by the tragic situation down the mountain. Suffering from the lack of long-range firepower, he had to place his hope on Jiu Jin. He grabbed Jiu Jin, who was coming over in a hurry.
Tang Cheng pointed in the direction of their left wing and shouted, "Do you see those of our own people over there? After a while, you go over with a grenade, and when you hear the shooting from our side, you rush down the hillside.
Then throw all the grenades on your body at me, and throw them wherever there is a gunshot. After throwing the grenades, you can find a place to hide them yourself."
Jiujin, who was being dragged hard on the chest, looked at Tang Cheng in confusion. This was the first time Tang Cheng spoke to Jiujin in this tone, and he still yelled loudly. "Did you fucking hear it?"
Jiu Jin, who was looking at Tang Cheng blankly, was suddenly slapped. Tang Cheng, with a ferocious face, put his forehead on Jiu Jin's forehead, "It's up to you whether the people below and Uncle Liu can survive, remember.
Be sure to be careful before throwing grenades, so as not to blow up one of our own people."
A somewhat confused Jiu Jin took his grenade to the left wing. Tang Cheng ordered the regiment members around him to be ready to fire immediately. There was a "boom" and he watched helplessly as a cloud of smoke rose from the big pit below.
, Tang Cheng, whose eyes were red, was anxious. "Shoot, shoot me." Under Tang Cheng's roar, the regiment members on the mountaintop panicked and pulled the trigger, although they knew that it would be difficult to hit the bottom at such a distance.
The bandits, but Tang Cheng still ordered them all to shoot. This was done for no other reason than to attract the attention of the bandits below and buy Jiu Jin the opportunity and time to approach and drop bombs.
Amidst the deafening gunfire, Jiu Jin, who moved to the left wing, began to move down the mountain. Although no bandits noticed him, Jiu Jin was carrying so many grenades that he could not go as fast as he could. "
"Da da da da da" The sudden fire from Tangcheng still managed to attract the attention of the bandits. Liu Yangyang in the big pit took the opportunity to use a light machine gun to fight back. Those who were still alive immediately rolled and crawled.
They all fell into the pit.
Without a target, Tangcheng and the others on the mountain were restricted by the range and accuracy of their rifles. The bandits hiding at the foot of the mountain began to yell and curse loudly. The arrogance in their words made Liu Yangyang who was hiding in the pit very angry. Outside the pit.
Those members of the regiment who were shot and fell to the ground became the entertainment objects of the bandits. No matter whether they were injured or dead or had become corpses, they could not escape the new round of shooting by the bandits. As the smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger,
, the willpower of the group members is on the verge of collapse.
"Boom" "Boom" Liu Yangyang had emptied two machine gun magazines one after another. Just as he was busy replacing the magazines, Jiu Jin, who had quietly touched it, finally took action. Jiu Jin's arm strength may not be the strongest among the militia.
One of them, but his ability and accuracy in throwing grenades are unique among the militia. Liu Yangyang once joked that his nine-pound bomb throwing ability was one of the best even in the 88th Division.
Large clouds of smoke rolled up with the explosion, and the flying soil was mixed with shrapnel and human body fragments scattered everywhere. The throwing distance of more than 50 meters made the broad Jiu Jin look more like a corpse.
The continuous explosions of the bomb-dropping machine caught the hiding bandits off guard and gave Liu Yangyang in the pit a chance to breathe. Tangcheng on the top of the hill took advantage of the situation and suppressed it with a dozen bold regiments.
