"The fighting has started in the county town. We can only survive on our own. But if we can't deal with the Japanese army on the opposite side first, none of us will survive to retreat into Beishan." Tang Cheng ordered Jiujin to throw grenades, and his men
Naturally, the squad leaders were trying to persuade Tang Cheng to retreat into the mountains now. But they didn't know that Tang Cheng was as stubborn as Liu Yangyang. Tang Cheng, who had already made up his mind, would not change his decision easily, facing his opponent off duty.
Following the advice of the platoon leaders, Tang Cheng took out the speed machine from his waist.
"We were all raised by our parents, and everyone has only one life. We are the same, and so are the little Japs across the street. Our weapons, equipment, and firepower are indeed not as good as theirs, but we have trenches, grenades, bayonets, and fists.
We are no worse than them. Before they attack, I want you to watch your own men and do not fire without my order. If any of you want to leave, it will only be after we have dealt with this group of Japanese troops.
Things." As Tang Cheng spoke, he had already leveled the shell gun in his hand and looked around at the squad and platoon leaders.
"I know you all want to leave, and I want to, but before we leave, we must kill those damn Japanese soldiers on the other side. If we abandon this level, there will be a steady stream of Japanese soldiers coming all the way from here to the county seat. Our defense regiment
The other companies in the county and the people in the county will become the targets of the Japanese army. Think about it, there are tens of thousands of people there." Tang Cheng once ignored the lives of countless people in Yijiangmen, Nanjing. At that time, he was powerless, but
Now he commands more than 100 soldiers equipped with weapons, so he does not intend to continue to ignore it, even if he ends up dying here.
"Ho!" At Tang Cheng's nod, Jiu Jin shouted and threw the first grenade. There was no extra space for Jiu Jin. His dodge and move when throwing the grenade could only be solved within 2 meters. Sustenance
The grenade of hope flew through the air in a perfect arc. The air wave from the explosion of the grenade knocked an exposed steel helmet back into the crater. The grenade thrown by Jiujin hit the target perfectly.
It is only 2 meters away from the crater designated by Tangcheng.
"Come again!" As Tang Cheng shouted angrily, Jiujin threw a grenade again, this time two grenades were thrown in succession. "Boom" and "boom" two explosions sounded outside the position, and the flying
The smoke directly covered the crater where the Japanese soldiers were hiding. Everyone, including Jiujin himself, was staring at the smoke. "Hahaha, I hit it, I hit it." Enduring the pain in his arm, Jiujin in the trench
Jin shouted loudly, and as the smoke dissipated, Jiujin was certain that at least one of the two grenades he had just thrown had hit the crater.
"Don't be too happy, the Japanese army is preparing to attack." Along with Tang Cheng's shouts, most people in the 1st company heard the screams in the air, which was the sound of Japanese mortar shells streaking through the air.
"Bombard, hide." These squad and platoon leaders no longer cared about forcing Tangcheng to issue retreat orders. Once the Japanese army attacked, they could only mobilize everything to counterattack, otherwise everyone would die here.
"Boom! Boom!" "Boom! Boom!" The Japanese army's two consecutive rounds of artillery fire were very accurate. At least three of the mortar shells entered the trench of the 1st company. The subsequent explosions produced a strong impact.
The violent air waves collided back and forth in the trenches. The shrapnel rotating at high speed with the explosion mixed with the air waves in an elusive trajectory and swept away all objects that blocked them. As the company commander, Tang Cheng also held his head in his hands.
With his knees pressed to his chest, he huddled at the bottom of the trench in a half-lying position. He had no time to hide in the shell-proof hole. He closed his lips and eyes tightly and endured the impact of the air waves. Tangcheng could not do anything until the opponent's shelling ended.
.
"Onboard, onboard." As the opponent's machine gun opened fire, the "boardboard" that the Japanese army must shout when charging rang out. Okamoto Squadron finally couldn't bear it and began to attack. "The little devil is coming up, prepare to fight, prepare to fight."
The desperate shouts of the squad and platoon leaders rang out after the Japanese troops appeared, and quickly spread throughout the trenches. The soldiers of the garrison who had previously been hiding in the shell holes like sculptures moved, facing the fists of the veterans
and gun butts, they dared not move.
Some of the novices who drilled out of the artillery holes stood up to their fighting positions, and some had to move along the trenches to reach their positions. Various hard objects rubbed and collided with each other in the trenches to form a unique sound.
As the soldiers got into position and the rifle bolt was pulled, a tense atmosphere quickly spread in the position. The unlucky Tang Cheng endured the dizziness and struggled to stand up, picked up the rifle he had dropped from the ground, and then got up and lay down with a blank look on his face.
He lay down and raised his gun, aiming forward and getting ready to fire.
The attacking Japanese army was still a hundred meters away. Tang Cheng, who was waiting for the Japanese army to approach, looked at the soldiers beside him. The sight he saw made Tang Cheng feel that the decision he had made was so ridiculous. These
A few months ago, the soldiers who pulled the bolts of their rifles and got ready to fire were just farmers or ordinary people who couldn't even kill chickens. But now they are following the orders of their respective squad platoon leaders and acting cautiously.
Tang Cheng didn't know how many of them would survive, and he didn't want to think about it, but he knew that war was a nightmare for these people.
"Pa" "Pa" Under the strong restraint of the squad and platoon leaders, only Uncle An and his few remaining gunmen were firing sporadically. This time it was not that Tang Cheng was deliberately showing weakness, but because there were only so few people in the 1st Company.
They can hit targets 80 meters away with their rifles. Uncle An’s firepower is not very strong, and they don’t hit the target by grabbing the gun, but they still slow down the opponent’s attack speed to a certain extent. “Your fucking brain is drained.
?Didn’t you say that you have to change positions after firing a few shots?" Uncle An dragged a self-aiming guy through the trench to change positions, but the scream of mortars could be heard in mid-air.
"Boom" "Boom" The two mortar shells fired by the Japanese army almost landed in the same position. With the explosion, Tang Cheng saw with his own eyes that Uncle An and the gunman were swallowed up by the smoke. The bloody corpses appeared after the smoke dissipated.
Tang Cheng was in sight, but Tang Cheng didn't have time to go over and take a look now, because the attacking Japanese forward was already less than 80 meters away from the trench. This was the shooting distance that Tang Cheng was confident about, and he was about to open fire.
Xie Bo's notes contained a lot of shooting theories he learned from German instructors, such as wind speed, angle, distance and so on, which gave Tang Cheng a headache. He didn't understand how these were related to war. All he was thinking about was
You have to shoot the bullets in the gun chamber at the Japanese troops in front of the position. As long as the bullets you shoot can hit them accurately, this is the result you want. Pull the trigger, and then see the target you are aiming at fall down after being shot.
, this is Tang Cheng’s most urgent wish, and he has no time to take care of other things.
"Fire, fire." When the Japanese attack advanced less than 60 meters away from the position, Tang Cheng, who had already fired the first bomb bridge, finally gave the order to fire. Almost at the same time as Tang Cheng's shouts rang out, in the trenches
The gunshots that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out. The soldiers who were ready to shoot pulled the triggers, and the hot bullets shot out like raindrops. The Huang Chao approaching the 1st Company position obviously slowed down, and in some positions
There was even a retreat on the ground, but this situation only lasted for a short while. With the sound of Japanese machine guns, the yellow tide that had paused continued to approach the position.
Accompanied by the screeching sound of mortar shells streaking through the air, fireballs rose up again on the 1st company's position. Bullets and shrapnel swept through the position like a storm. Many people died before they could even cry out.
Most of the people on the position, including Tang Cheng, in order to save their own lives, retreated into the trenches early when the Japanese firepower was the most intense. However, in this way, the firepower on the position naturally weakened.
"I want to go home, I'm not a soldier anymore, I want to go home." A crying voice rang out in the shell-proof cave only a few meters away from Tangcheng. He threw away his rifle and the bullet bag on his body, and got out of the shell-proof cave.
The recruits in the artillery hole cried and began to climb the trenches to prepare to escape from the battlefield. The most feared thing in the battle was not that the battle went wrong or the disparity in strength, but deserters. One deserter would take away ten people, and ten deserters would take away one person.
With hundreds of people, the precursor to a collapse is desertion and panic. If it cannot be stopped in time, it will cause the entire defense line and position to collapse.
Looking at the recruit climbing the trench, Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and pulled out the rifle from his waist, almost without aiming, and shot the deserter to death in the trench. "The Japanese army is attacking. How dare you fight?"
Anyone who flees the position before the end of the battle will be killed without mercy. Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army before the end of the battle will be killed without mercy. Anyone who dares to avoid the battle in fear of the battle will be killed without mercy." Tang Cheng glanced at the soldiers in the trenches with a ferocious expression.
No one dared to look at him for even a second, as the corpse that fell at the foot of Tangcheng was proof.
Several soldiers who also wanted to escape from the battlefield dutifully returned to their respective fighting positions. The scattered rifle shots that had been fired by Japanese machine guns suddenly became louder. Everyone in the 1st company tried their best to put their rifles in the chamber.
The bullets fired out. On the chaotic battlefield, they didn't know whether the bullets they fired could kill the enemy. Maybe the bullets had strayed to other places without knowing it, but they still worked hard to pull the bolt, aim, and shoot.
, repeating these actions mechanically until all the bullets in the magazine are fired, then he squats down to load the bullets and enjoys a moment of safety.
