Now that they have been attacked from three sides by the Japanese army, how bad can the war situation get? After thinking about it, Tang Cheng no longer panicked and began to use all the means and conditions available to the 1st company to think of countermeasures. Perhaps he could use the numerical advantage.
Breaking through the Japanese position directly from the front, this idea was immediately overturned by Tang Cheng. The distance of 100 meters was enough for dozens of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side to kill half of the soldiers of the 1st company, and the Japanese army's stabbing ability was also what Tang Cheng was worried about.
It seems that taking a roundabout route on both sides is not feasible, because the Japanese troops have appeared on both sides of them. Taking into account all the conditions, there seems to be only one way to go before Tangcheng, and that is to retreat into Beishan. According to Li Liuyang's order
, the 1st Company dug tunnels in the Beishan bandits' den. If they could retreat to the tunnels, maybe Tangcheng could use those tunnels to deal with this group of Japanese soldiers.
"Board loaded, board loaded." Suddenly there was a shouting sound all day long on both sides of the position. Dozens of Japanese soldiers with rifles were charging from both sides of the position. "Board loaded" was a slogan that the Japanese army must shout when charging.
"One squad from the 2nd platoon will go to the left wing to support, and the rest will go to the right wing." The Japanese troops on both wings launched a charge. Tang Cheng knew that the 1st platoon and Uncle An's men could not stop them, but before the Japanese troops in the front could attack, the two wings must
Hold on, otherwise they will all die here.
The battle situation once again presented a strange situation. The confrontation between the two sides was silent, but the two wings of the 1st company were fighting fiercely. The huge pressure made Tang Cheng and Okamoto Kenichi go crazy at the same time. "Hanamichi, take a few people to test it out.
"With the arrival of the 2nd Platoon, the gunfire and shouts of killing on both sides of the 1st Company position gradually became more intense. The Japanese army's onboard shouts had weakened. Kenichi Okamoto, who was facing a head-on confrontation, planned to test his opponent, and immediately sent troops.
Cao Huadao led people to conduct a feint attack test from the front.
Hanamichi showed up with five soldiers from the same team as him. Using the corpses of his fallen comrades as cover, he rushed towards Tangcheng bit by bit but absolutely quickly. Tangcheng did not get off immediately.
Opening fire, the Japanese soldiers who appeared in the telescope were obviously veterans. It could be seen from the way they cooperated with each other when moving. Tang Cheng didn't know how many such elite veterans there were in this Japanese army, but he knew
Company 1 is really in trouble this time.
Before Tangcheng gave the order to fire, Hanamichi and the others moved very fast. In just a few breaths, Hanamichi and the Japanese soldiers attacked to a distance of less than a hundred meters from Tangcheng. "They are here.
What are you doing?" A Japanese soldier who appeared in the telescope suddenly took out a red flag from behind and planted it on the ground. Then the Japanese soldiers immediately moved back and lay down on the ground. Tang Cheng, who was holding the telescope,
He didn't know what was going on, but then the screams in the air made Tang Cheng suddenly realize it. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng's sudden realization was already a little late.
"Boom" "Boom" The two mortar shells that landed one after another almost hit the same location, which was the place where the Japanese soldiers planted the red flag that just appeared in the Tangcheng telescope. "Boom" "Boom"
"Two clouds of smoke rose again at the same place. Looking at the smoke rising after the explosion and the reaction of the Japanese army, Tang Cheng in the trench was stunned, "They are using mortar bombardment to create bunkers for their own people." Look.
Looking at the few figures rushing into the smoke, Tang Cheng had to secretly sigh at the Japanese army's methods. It was too common to use the craters after the explosion of artillery shells as bunkers in battles, but during the battles, they fired artillery shells in order to create bunkers for their own people. Tang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
This is the first time I have seen the city.
The smoke from the explosion gradually disappeared, and only a Japanese helmet appeared in Tangcheng's telescope. Tangcheng knew that those Japanese soldiers had hid in the crater after the explosion. The crater after the explosion of the mortar shell did not
It is not enough to hide 6 people, but if 4 mortar shells hit the same location, the crater left is enough for 6 people to hide inside. Although it is not enough for the people hiding inside to cover their entire bodies, it is still enough.
It's much better than lying on the ground.
"Pa" A soldier on Tang Cheng's side fell heavily on his back in the trench. A steel helmet and a rifle were retracted into the crater that Tang Cheng was observing. The opponent's appearance was so short that Tang Cheng
Without any time to react, the Japanese shooter who suddenly appeared killed one of his soldiers. The soldiers of the 1st company lying in the trench had just crouched down when Tang Cheng noticed the bomb crater in his sight.
There was floating soil, and the Japanese soldiers in the crater were digging.
A rifle and a Japanese steel helmet appeared in the crater again. Tang Cheng subconsciously crouched down and heard a gunshot. A piece of gravel on the edge of the trench jumped after being hit by a bullet.
, the impact point was exactly where he had just stretched out his body. He crouched down and quickly moved his position in the trench. Tang Cheng slowly straightened his body against the trench and put his binoculars out against the trench. What was in the crater?
Several Japanese soldiers were still digging in the soil, but the rifle that had been shot at them had disappeared.
The telescope in Tang Cheng's hand moved slowly, and his line of sight also changed its position with the movement of the telescope. He didn't stop until his line of sight landed on a certain location. There was another place not far from the crater where the Japanese soldiers were hiding.
There is a bomb crater. This bomb crater just discovered by Tangcheng is less than 70 meters away from Tangcheng's position. As long as the Japanese army occupies this crater, any Japanese soldier can shoot the bullets in the gun chamber into the 1st company without them dispatching sharpshooters.
in the trenches.
70 meters is within the range of the rifle, but Tang Cheng is not sure that he can use the rifle to block the possibility of the Japanese army moving forward. Lacking long-range firepower, he can only watch helplessly as the Japanese army digs forward and is unable to do anything. "Boom."
"Boom" "Boom" A series of explosions suddenly sounded on the two flanks with loud gunshots. Tang Cheng subconsciously turned his head and looked to his left wing. The Japanese troops attacking the left wing position were already in chaos. They were ordered by Tang Cheng.
Jiujin, who was leaving, was leading his men to fight out from behind the Japanese army. The explosion just now was caused by them throwing grenades.
Under the attack of the nine-pound bombing squad and the 1st platoon defending the left wing, which was twice the number of Japanese troops, the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who appeared on the left side of the position were completely defeated. The 1st platoon, which had been suppressed by the Japanese army, burst out with vitality.
The last Japanese soldier on the left-wing position fell under Jiujin's sword. Shouts and cheers rang out at the same time on the left-wing position. The 1st platoon of soldiers of the garrison who were lucky to survive followed the 1st platoon leader and Jiujin back to the main position.
The hesitation and fear they had when they first encountered the Japanese army could no longer be seen on their faces.
17 people, Tang Cheng's 50-man 1st platoon now only has 17 people left. In order to hold the left wing of the position, a total of 33 people died in the battle with the Japanese army. Tang Cheng is not a person who is good at controlling his emotions. In his eyes,
The water vapor that appeared has proved this point, but now is not the time to show weakness, so Tang Cheng had to pull Jiu Jin, who had returned to the main position, to change the subject, "Did you see the crater in front? I guess I can
It's 70 meters away. You are the only one of our people who can throw the grenade 60 meters away. I want you to find a way to throw the grenade into the crater."
Tang Cheng pointed out the bomb crater he was talking about to Jiu Jin. According to the direction and speed of the Japanese army's current digging, in a few minutes, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the crater would be able to jump into the crater he was targeting.
Jiujin is just a simple and honest nature, he is not stupid. It is impossible for him to throw a grenade from the trench into a bomb crater 80 meters away, because there is no place for a run-up in the trench dug horizontally. If
Just to drop the bomb on the spot, Jiu Jin, who has extraordinary arm strength, can only throw the grenade a distance of 40 meters.
"I guess it can be done." Jiujin carefully observed the crater that Tang Cheng pointed out to him for a while, and then gave Tang Cheng a positive answer. During this period, Hanamichi and the others dug the soil a little faster.
After the gunfire from the left-wing position stopped, Kenchi Okamoto ordered the soldiers who attacked the right wing of the 1st Company to withdraw as well. The battle situation returned to the confrontation stage again. Less than half an hour had passed since the exchange of fire between the 1st Company and the Japanese army.
"Carry the wounded to the back, pick out those who cannot fight, and escort the wounded to the tunnels. The Japs may launch the next wave of attacks soon." While concentrating weapons and ammunition, Tang Cheng took charge of his three platoon leaders.
shouted together. When following Liu Yangyang to fight the Japanese army, Tang Cheng encountered face-to-face fighting and attacks, but this time he was very depressed. The Japanese army on the opposite side was worse than any that Tang Cheng had ever encountered.
All Japanese troops were difficult to deal with.
"Company Commander, the Japs have shown up again." The observation post arranged by Tang Cheng lowered his figure and lowered his voice and shouted to Tang Cheng in the trench. After hearing the sound, Tang Cheng grabbed the binoculars and looked ahead. The Japanese army
The action started. There were only a few Japanese soldiers who appeared in the telescope this time. Their actions were exactly the same as those of the guys who hid in the bomb crater before. Tang Cheng frowned slightly. He guessed that the purpose of these guys should be the same.
They would hide in the crater, and then use their superb marksmanship to shoot at close range with the 1st company.
"Machine gun fire, we can't let them get any closer." The roar of the Czech light machine gun rang out in the silent position, but before the first magazine of the light machine gun was finished, Japanese mortar shells came over.
Tang Cheng's machine gunners and the Czech light machine gun were all blown to pieces by the shells. "Damn, damn it." Tang Cheng, who was knocked over by the air wave, spit out the dirt in his mouth. The disappearance of the machine gun made him
The 1st company's situation was getting worse.
Under the watchful eyes of Tang Cheng, the few Japanese soldiers who had been touched jumped into the bomb crater. God knows what shape the Japanese soldiers had dug into the crater before, but they actually packed all the Japanese soldiers who had touched them.
As more Japanese soldiers entered the crater, the number of people digging the earth increased accordingly. Tang Cheng's hand holding the telescope was shaking because the Japanese soldiers in the crater were digging the earth much faster than before.
Times, Tangcheng even saw a Japanese soldier holding an engineering shovel in his hand.
