"Keep running, don't stop. If you fall behind, you will die." Jiujin, who was panting heavily, dragged one of his bombardiers and ran forward with all his strength. He didn't know why Tang Cheng ordered him.
The bombing squad pretended to be a broken army and fled backwards, but he knew that Tang Cheng was definitely not a timid person. Those experiences in Nanjing City were enough to make Jiu Jin 100% believe in Tang Cheng's orders.
More than a group of Jiujin pretended to be defeated troops and retreated. Tangcheng also took out a dozen people from the novices to pretend to be defeated troops and fled back. These were novices who were judged by Tangcheng to be unable to continue fighting. Instead of letting them stay in the trenches
If it affects other people, it would be more appropriate to pretend to be defeated. Tang Cheng's trick came from Liu Yangyang's trick when he commanded a battalion outside Guanghua Gate. He used it to weaken the enemy and lure them with chaos, waiting for the enemy to pursue them.
, that’s when the ambush battle begins.
The Japanese army in the confrontation finally began to pursue, but Tang Cheng's expression changed as the Japanese army pursued. A well-trained officer will not expose his entire unit to danger, Okamoto Kenichi has no doubt
It was such a person. After the cunning and suspicious Okamoto Kenichi was sure that the opponent was beginning to retreat, he did not let all his soldiers participate in the pursuit. Only less than 30 Japanese soldiers appeared in Tangcheng's sight.
Chase.
"Let them go, let's take down these Japanese soldiers first." Tang Cheng's mind began to be confused. This was a situation he had never encountered before. It seemed that Liu Yangyang had never taught him how to deal with such a situation. Tang Cheng was in
What Shanghai and Nanjing encountered were face-to-face fights with the Japanese army. Even in the formal fight with the Japanese army outside Guanghua Gate, Tangcheng did not encounter a situation like this.
The veterans in the trenches began to breathe rapidly. The squad and platoon leaders were waiting for orders from Tang Cheng. Once the order was issued, they would deal a fatal blow to the Japanese soldiers who got up to pursue them. The fastest Japanese soldiers were 30 meters away from the trenches.
When he was about 50 meters, Tang Cheng finally stopped hesitating and pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand. With a crisp gunshot, the stocky Japanese soldier Cao Zhang, who was targeted by Tang Cheng, fell to the ground on his back.
, the flying bullet penetrated the chest of the sergeant commander that day, and the blood flowing from the bullet hole instantly accumulated a small blood pool under his body.
The sound of gunfire in Tangcheng was the signal to open fire. The machine gunner of the 1st Company, who had been waiting for a long time, roared and pulled the trigger, firing the bullets in the magazine at the Japanese soldiers who had nowhere to hide in sight. "Pop", "Pap", "Pap" in the trench.
The veterans inside also opened fire one after another. The originally silent 1st company position instantly burst out with powerful firepower. Bullets rained down on the attacking Japanese soldiers. The sudden change in the battle situation caused Okamoto on the opposite side to
Jianyi was stunned.
The gunfire from the 1st Company only lasted for a short time before disappearing again. Several Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood within 30 meters of the trench. The distance of less than 50 meters was not enough for the veterans of the 1st Company.
It was difficult. Just one volley of fire was enough to turn these Japanese soldiers into bloody gourds. "Hidden, go back to the artillery holes to hide." Leaving a few observation posts, Tangcheng ordered the soldiers in the trenches to hide in the artillery holes again.
, according to his experience in fighting the Japanese army, it was time for the Japanese army's mortars to show their power.
Sure enough, as soon as Tangcheng and the others hid in the artillery hole, the mortar shells fired by the Japanese army made a sharp whistling sound above the heads of the 1st company, followed by a series of big explosions. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom"
The observation posts arranged in the trenches in Tangcheng curled up with their bodies, and the smarter ones used their hands to protect their heads and necks. Those who were not issued with steel helmets only had soft cloth military caps on their heads.
Things can't protect themselves from the shrapnel splashed by the explosion, so they can only use their arms as defense to block the shrapnel that may take their lives.
Explosions rang out one after another, and the two light machine guns of Okamoto Squadron were also spitting bullets. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The 1st Company position that was rained down by Okamoto Squadron was silent. The gunfire gradually
Except for the two mortars of Okamoto's squadron, they were still clearing the places they thought were suspicious, creating a rain of smoke and flying shrapnel for the front positions. "Baga, these damn Chinese people." Taken Okamoto.
As soon as they put down the telescope in their hands in a panic, the Chinese army on the opposite side must have retreated into their trenches again. The Okamoto squadron did not carry heavy mortars, and the current light mortars cannot destroy those trenches.
.
Only three of the five observation posts deployed in Tangcheng were left, and two of them had died in the opponent's artillery fire. However, both sides stopped firing at this time, and the battlefield eerily returned to silence. The Japanese army did not move, and the people in the trenches
The 1st company did not move, and the only sounds left on the silent battlefield were the painful cries and screams of the wounded soldiers on both sides. Slowly emerging from the bomb hole, Tang Cheng straightened up with his binoculars and looked at the equally silent Japanese army.
Tangcheng counted the number of Japanese soldiers killed by the 1st company. The Japanese squadron had at least 0 people, and they shot and killed less than 40 people. The remaining 160 or so Japanese soldiers chose to stand still, which made Tangcheng feel a little strange.
"Pah!" Before Tang Cheng could clearly see the situation on the other side, the moment the gunfire rang out, a hot bullet flew past Tang Cheng's neck. "Uh?" Tang Cheng fell on his back in the trench like a conditioned reflex.
, his right hand was also stretched out to cover his neck. There was no continuous pain and no hot and sticky blood flowing out. Tang Cheng finally felt relieved. He knew that he had not been hit by the bullet.
"Squat down and lower your head." A soldier who was just about to poke his head out and look around was hit in the shoulder by a piece of rubbish thrown by Tangcheng. He hurriedly obeyed the order and squatted in the trench. The marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers has always been the best in Tangcheng.
Worried, when we were stationed at Guanghuamen, many soldiers from the teaching corps died in exchanges with the Japanese. In terms of individual soldier ability, Japanese soldiers were indeed no match for the Japanese soldiers.
Because the target was discovered, the shooting from the Japanese army continued. Bullets flew over the trenches. Tangcheng, who was squatting on the eaves of the trenches, looked up at the sky. When Jiujin and the others were arranged to retreat, Tangcheng was already there.
He appointed a fast-footed soldier to return to the city to report the news. He is not worried about the soldier returning to the city to report the news. Instead, he is a little worried about Jiu Jin, a guy with an upright personality. Neither Tang Cheng nor Okamoto Kenichi wants to see this.
A confrontation forms between the two sides, because the confrontation means that both sides need to compete for endurance and strength.
The Okamoto Squadron has the advantage in combat effectiveness and firepower, but they are not familiar with the terrain. Tangcheng's 1st Company has the advantage in terrain and numbers, but their combat effectiveness is too poor and their firepower intensity is not as good as the opponent. Comparing all factors, Tangcheng
The 1st Company and the Okamoto Squadron are basically the same. However, the situation of the battle cannot remain unchanged. As the war and confrontation continue, one of the two sides will always find a way to reverse the situation, just like Okamoto Takeru now.
One is preparing to divide his troops to attack the 1st company from both wings in a roundabout way.
The remaining 160 men under the leadership of Okamoto Ken were evenly distributed in three directions, with 50 men sent on each wing to conduct a roundabout attack. He himself commanded the remaining 60 men, together with the two mortars, to serve as a feint attack to attract enemy firepower.
He assigned light machine guns and grenade launchers to the troops attacking from both sides. "Company Commander, the Japs have retreated." The shout from the observation post made Tang Cheng wake up from his meditation. He hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked around, lying on the spot.
There have been a lot fewer Japanese soldiers.
"Oops." Tangcheng doesn't think this is the Japanese army retreating. If it is retreating, why are there still dozens of Japanese soldiers lying in place without moving? This is obviously the Japanese army's tactic to rush in from both wings. "Concealed, concealed.
"Tangcheng's shouts have not stopped yet. The mortar shells fired by the Japanese army from the opposite side once again blasted out several clouds of smoke from the 1st company's position. Several extremely unlucky 1st company soldiers fell into the smoke, and the burst of fire was faintly visible.
You can see the broken limbs and blood as the smoke rises.
"Uncle An, you take your people to guard the right wing. Be careful of the Japanese troops coming to attack. Don't jump out of the trenches and fight with them. Just suppress them and don't dare to get close. Platoon leader, you lead 1st platoon to guard the left wing. Fight with Uncle An and the others.
Just keep the Japanese troops at bay and don't let them get close to our trenches." Tang Cheng's shouts rang out in the smoke, and when his name was called, Uncle An and the platoon leader ran towards the two wings of the position with their men.
Tang Cheng may not be old enough, and he doesn't look very convincing, but he is the only one in the entire garrison who followed the regiment leader Liu Yangyang to evacuate from Shanghai to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Mengcheng.
The bandit suppression operation that lasted for more than half a month was an opportunity created by Liu Yangyang to familiarize Tangcheng with the 1st Company. During the bandit suppression operation for more than half a month, the veterans of the 1st Company had already witnessed Tangcheng's decisive killing.
With various means, compared to the novices, the veterans seemed to be more willing to accept Tang Cheng's command.
"Get ready to fight." As Tang Cheng shouted, the soldiers of the 1st company hiding in the bombholes appeared one after another. Tang Cheng not only had to be wary of the Japanese troops that might appear from the two wings, but also the Japanese troops from the front. Outside Guanghua Gate
Those battles have repeatedly proven the cunning of the Japanese army. Tang Cheng himself did not believe that the Japanese commander on the opposite side only had such tricks. From the fact that he only sent a few soldiers to pursue Jiujin just now, it is not difficult to see the cunning of this man.
"Da da da da da da" Sure enough, the sound of machine gun fire rang out from both wings of the 1st Company's position, mixed with a few Mauser rifle fires. Tangcheng knew that it was Uncle An's men and the 1st Platoon sniping at the Japanese troops.
The 1st Company was now surrounded by enemies on three sides. Tang Cheng, who was still a little panicked, gradually calmed down. Facing the intractable battle situation, the only option was to fight to the death or launch an attack. This is a passage in Xie Bo's notes. Tang Cheng
