"Light a fire and set off smoke to report to the city." The situation is urgent. Tangcheng plans to use the last resort. The pyre has been prepared here at Beishan Checkpoint. This is the fastest way to keep in touch with the city at Beishan Checkpoint. According to Liu Yangang
The steps discussed with Tang Cheng were that one pillar of smoke means that the level is abnormal but the situation is under control, two pillars of smoke means that the level is abnormal but it is under control, three or more pillars of smoke means that the level is abnormal and is out of control, then
It represents asking for help from the city.
"Company commander, look, there's smoke coming out of the city." Before the soldiers designated by Tang Cheng took out matches to light the torch, a platoon leader under Tang Cheng suddenly pointed in the direction of Mengcheng and shouted. It wasn't just Tang Cheng.
City, almost everyone in the position subconsciously turned their heads and looked back in the direction of the county town in response to the shouting. Pillars of smoke rose from the ground in the direction of the county town. The quick-talking platoon leader stretched out his fingers to count one by one, and kept counting.
Counted to four.
"Something happened in the county town." This was the first reaction of everyone in the 1st company. It was the same signal that Tangcheng was about to send out. If more than three smoke pillars rose in the county town, it meant that the county town was under attack. According to
Liu Yangyang had laid out a plan. The 1st company stationed in Beishan would immediately return to the county to aid the county or look for an opportunity to create a disturbance behind the Japanese army. Tang Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, but his tense heart relaxed again randomly.
There are more than three companies of the garrison regiment and a regiment of the 173rd Division in the county town. Coupled with the criss-crossing trenches and fortifications outside the county town, the county town is not so easy to be breached.
When Tangcheng fought with the Japanese army in Shanghai, they saw Japanese aircraft and heavy artillery. Although Beishan was not very close to the county seat, if the Japanese army used heavy artillery, they would be able to feel the vibration here, or at least hear the sound of heavy artillery bombardment.
That's right. There has been no movement from the county seat. This means that the Japanese army did not use heavy artillery or equip it with heavy artillery. If the incoming Japanese army only wanted to take over Mengcheng with some mortars, it would obviously be unrealistic. The 173rd Division
Those mortars and light and heavy machine guns are not vegetarian either.
Tang Cheng thinks so because he learned a lot about the weapons configuration of the 173rd Division from Liu Yangyang, but other people in the 1st Company didn't know this. The other people, including Jiu Jin, had changed their expressions. If
The county seat was lost, and they were cut off by the Japanese army. "Don't panic, the squad leader looks at his people, and the platoon leader looks at his squad leader. Just because the smoke is rising over the county town, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has been captured by the Japanese army."
"Hey, didn't you hear the sound of gunfire?" Tang Cheng turned dark, kicked the guy who was about to light the pyre, and stepped on the torch at the same time.
A column of smoke has already risen over the county town, which means that the county town has fallen into a melee at this moment. If Tangcheng still raises a smoke column representing a call for help at this time, it will only add unnecessary burden to Liu Yangyang, so Tangcheng decided
No fire, no smoke, no request for help from the county. "Company commander, it's no longer possible. Let's retreat. We don't even have machine guns. In a moment, the little devils will rush over. We can't stand it with our rifles alone." See Tangcheng.
After stopping the ignition, some of the veterans saw that Tang Cheng wanted to fight to the death, so they came over and tried to persuade Tang Cheng to retreat into the mountains now.
Defeating the battle is not a rare thing in the eyes of these veterans. Besides, Tang Cheng himself also escaped from Nanjing. Although the 1st Company repelled a three-sided encirclement by the Japanese army, they also lost their only soldier.
Czech light machine gun. The strength of the firepower between the two sides has largely determined the outcome of the battle. In addition, the dozen or so forward soldiers of the Japanese army are still digging forward. If they take advantage of the situation and expand
In that bunker, I believe that the number of Japanese soldiers approaching and threatening the 1st Company's position will continue to increase.
Tang Cheng straightened up and used his binoculars to look at the crater in front of the position where soil was thrown out from time to time. The Japanese soldiers digging with all their strength were still less than 3 meters away from the crater he estimated, which meant that they might only need a few more minutes.
They can reach a position less than 70 meters away from the trench, so that the 38 rifles in their hands can shoot bullets into the 1st company's position at any time. Tang Cheng hated this group of guys who were digging the soil with all their strength, but his hands itched.
There is no long-range firepower that can control the enemy or threaten the opponent, so he can only watch the opponent getting closer to his position and can do nothing.
Like Liu Yangyang, Tang Cheng is not a person who is easily frightened by adversity. Robert has cultivated Tang Cheng’s independence and ability to face adversity since he was a child. Even when Tang Cheng was only 10 years old, Robert once asked Tang Cheng to
Cheng was on his way from a remote village to the county seat to deliver a message. At the age of 12, Tang Cheng dared to follow the Shanghai Youth Gang gangsters and fight with people in the streets. Tang Cheng never lacked opportunities to face adversity, but the crisis before him
But it made it difficult for Tangcheng to make a decision.
It is not difficult to withdraw the 1st company into Beishan, but Tangcheng is worried that the retreat of the 1st company will give the Japanese troops a way to attack the county. If the Japanese troops that are confronting the 1st company do not follow them into the mountains and attack directly
In the county seat, Tang Cheng knew that a catastrophe was waiting for Mengcheng. He could not imagine what would happen if the Japanese army attacking Mengcheng got this new force, but he knew that the chance of Mengcheng being conquered by the Japanese army would definitely increase greatly.
But if the 1st company is not withdrawn, everyone here may be killed by the Japanese army, including himself, the second lieutenant of the company. Tang Cheng does not want to die, he has never even thought about death, and does not want to
He died in this wilderness. But if he only wanted to save his own life and bring greater trouble to Liu Yangyang in the county, Tang Cheng would rather stay here and fight for his life with this group of Japanese soldiers. Retreating when encountering the enemy is not Tang Cheng's fault.
Due to the character of the city, this is neither Shanghai nor Nanjing. Even if the Japanese army on the opposite side is strong, they will have to pay an unimaginable price if they want to wipe out the 1st company here.
"Company Commander, it's better to retreat. Brothers are not afraid, but we don't have anything we can use. It's difficult to withstand the Japs' attack just by relying on the rifles in our hands." The platoon suggested to retreat.
When Tang Cheng was in a dilemma, he once again suggested retreating. His words were obviously agreed by most of the platoon leaders of the 1st company. Just from their eyes, Tang Cheng could tell what they were thinking. These had already been
Guys who have been defeated do not care about being defeated again, even if they are deserters, as long as they can save their lives, these people will make the choice without hesitation.
All the squad leaders were looking at him, which made Tang Cheng very uncomfortable. However, everyone was just looking at Tang Cheng but did not dare to step forward to force him, because they all found that Tang Cheng's right hand had been on him at some point.
Put on the gun holster on your waist. Tang Cheng's marksmanship may not be ranked high in the 1st company, but the speed at which Tang Cheng fires a short gun is famous in the entire garrison. Everyone is so close to Tang Cheng, and no one
It can avoid Tang Cheng's close range shooting, especially Tang's speed machine which can fire continuously.
Perhaps he noticed the fear in everyone's eyes. Tang Cheng's hand on the holster at his waist slowly dropped. His action made the squad and platoon leaders in the trenches obviously heave a sigh of relief. Don't take it.
When he was shooting, Tang Cheng was as harmless to humans and animals as the new recruits in the garrison. But when Tang Cheng held his two speed machines, most of the veterans in the garrison did not dare to look at him, because the most among them
Even the murderous aura exuded by a tough guy can't compare to the violent aura in Tang Cheng.
"Company Commander, you should make up your mind. The Japs are about to attack. We can wait, but those injured brothers can't wait." It was the platoon leader who just suggested retreating who spoke. Tangcheng also knew it.
He was right. The 1st Company had suffered more than 80 casualties. Excluding the more than 30 people who had been killed, less than half of the injured soldiers had been removed. The remaining wounded were lying in the trenches at this time.
"Company commander, the Japs have sent people up again, this time there are only a few people." The observation post arranged by Tang Cheng shouted, but the content of their shouts could no longer arouse Tang Cheng's nervousness, because he had already adapted to the Japanese army's behavior.
Rhythm and tricks. There were only 7 Japanese soldiers who appeared in the telescope in the third wave. They behaved the same way as the first two groups of Japanese soldiers. They used the corpses of their own people to move forward evasively until they jumped into a place where they could hide themselves.
shaped crater.
"Company Commander, let's withdraw. If we don't leave, we will really fight with them." These squad and platoon leaders are all veterans. They naturally know what the 1st Company is facing now and what it will face soon.
Tang Cheng opened his mouth to speak, and then everyone started shouting about retreating into Beishan, but the decision Tang Cheng wanted to make was drowned in their voices.
"Da da da da da da" Japanese machine guns suddenly opened fire. The soldiers in the trenches subconsciously hunched their necks and squatted back in the trenches. The squad and platoon leaders around Tang Cheng all lowered their bodies, but everyone
They were still waiting for Tang Cheng to make a decision. Japanese soldiers appeared in the telescope. One by one, they followed the passage they dug with bayonets and engineer shovels and entered another bomb crater. The crater was located far away from the 1st company.
The trench was less than 70 meters long, and the Japanese army obviously used it as a bridgehead to suppress the 1st Company.
"Pa" Tang Cheng aimed at the steel helmet that appeared on the edge of the crater and pulled the trigger of the rifle. It was like a shot from God's help that hit the Japanese steel helmet directly and accurately, and several 38 rifles that were about to stick out of the crater.
They all shrank back. The hit of this shot gave Tang Cheng great encouragement, and then he turned to look at Jiu Jin, "Now, right now, I want you to blow up that crater with a grenade. No matter how many grenades you throw, I will
