After Tang Cheng stopped shooting, he realized that he had used up all the bullets in his body, but he couldn't remember how many enemies he had hit. Tang Cheng's madness deeply stimulated those in the 1st platoon to a great extent.
People, especially Heizi and the bandits who had been recruited from Qingyun Village, under the strong counterattack of the 1st Platoon, the attacking Japanese troops were never able to break through within 50 meters of the 1st Company position, but the 70-man 1st Platoon could not
There were less than 40 people left.
The Japanese army temporarily stopped attacking, and the gunfire on the 1st company position also stopped. Both sides needed some time to sort out their wounds. Tang Cheng searched for bullets on the bodies of the dead soldiers, and Huang Fei went to the second trench to call for help.
He turned around and came back, followed by Jiujin who looked nervous. "These guys are indeed much worse than the people in the second company. We only settled the wounded in the back. There were several guys in the 3rd row who wanted to escape.
I tied them up with a belt and leggings. If the 2nd platoon leader hadn't stopped them, I would have buried those guys alive." After seeing Tang Cheng, the tension on Jiu Jin's face dissipated a little, but he still had a habit of chattering.
But it's still going on.
Tang Cheng looked at Sun He who had returned with Jiu Jin. After receiving Sun He's affirmative look, Tang Cheng suddenly smiled. He was really dozing off and someone brought him a pillow. "Take those guys who want to be deserters."
Bring us here and tell your people to take cover. Without my order, you cannot reveal your position or figure, even if all the people on the position are dead." Sun He was confused by this order from Tangcheng and turned
It's okay to bring the deserters back. Maybe Tang Cheng wanted to kill him to scare other soldiers, but the soldiers they brought back were kept hidden. Why?
"Stop guessing, just wait for my order." Tang Cheng grabbed a few rummaged bullet bridges and left with a smile. This was the first time Tang Cheng showed a smile after the battle, but Sun He felt it.
Tang Cheng felt confident at this time. Unlike Sun He, who came later, the other squad platoon leaders were very puzzled by Tang Cheng's order and even complained a lot. They had already been evacuated after being ordered by Tang Cheng.
In the second trench, before they could warm up their butts, they were ordered to return to the battlefield. Isn't this a joke?
"Shut the hell up. Although Company Commander Tang is younger than all of us, who among you dares to stand up and command the 1st Company to fight against the Japs?" Sun He looked around at his chattering companions unhappily. These guys
I have almost become a habit when I lose a battle, and I don't look like a soldier at all. "The company commander said that we should hide and stand by, so everyone just waits. I think he must have a way to deal with the little Japs."
"Jiujin, gather all the short guns of your men for me. I can use them." Tang Cheng, whom Sun He and the others talked about, was squatting in front of Jiujin and whispering. Unlike other soldiers in the garrison, he chose to change
The bombardiers who came out were not equipped with rifles. The short guns seized from the Li family's quick rifle team and the bandits were distributed to the bombardment team by Liu Yangyang. Four of the 15 shell guns were equipped with rapid speed machines.
In the plan, these magazine-fed shell guns were the key to success or failure.
"Heizi, come here." Jiu Jin was busy concentrating his men's short rifles. Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the ground without moving, waved to Heizi who was not far away. Heizi was squatting down to load the rifle with bullets.
Tang Cheng didn't know why he called himself, but he still rushed over, "I know that your Qingyun Village people are very good at marksmanship, and you are all good at using short guns. I will pull out some veterans and your Qingyun Village people in a while."
Get together and wait for me to give the signal. You must shoot out the bullets in these short guns as quickly as possible. Of course, the accuracy must be guaranteed."
The position of the 1st company was 0 meters wide. Of course, Tang Cheng did not expect to be able to bring all 0 meters into the gunfire range with only 15 short guns. However, Tang Cheng also concentrated the short guns on the squad platoon leaders and used the total number to exceed
Although the 0-wide position controlled by a short gun is still a bit weak, this is the best that Tangcheng can do. "Those of you who use short guns spread out in the position. Don't stand too close or too far away. Listen to me.
After shouting fire, you must shoot the bullets out of the magazine as quickly as possible. After the grenade thrown by the bombardment team explodes, you must change the magazine and continue shooting."
The temporary gunmen who were gathered together by Tang Cheng were a little uneasy. Why did Tang Cheng mean that they were going to engage in close combat with the Japanese army as a hedge? Tang Cheng ignored their private thoughts and gave these temporary soldiers a few words.
Gunners, Tang Cheng lay down and stretched out his rifle again. The number of bullets fired from the 1st company position has decreased a lot. Perhaps because of the desire to save artillery shells, the Okamoto squadron's mortars have also stopped long ago.
After the fire broke out, soldiers on both sides were now only shooting with rifles, and occasionally the bursts of Japanese machine guns could be heard.
The ceasefire of the Japanese machine guns and mortars was extremely beneficial to the 1st Company, which allowed the panicked soldiers of the 1st Company to relax a little. However, the weapons that the Japanese army subsequently put into the battle shocked Tangcheng. In Tangcheng
In my mind, a grenade that is smart, light and can be operated by one person is far more dangerous than a mortar. Although the range and lethality of a grenade are not as good as that of a mortar, it is better than a mortar at any time.
position, and after the grenadiers have used up the grenade grenades, they can still use Japanese grenades instead of grenades to continue bombardment.
"2 Platoon Commander, you are a veteran and someone who has fought in Nanjing. I will give you 50 men. After our side starts fighting with the attacking Japanese soldiers, you can take those 50 men to the flanks and rush over to mix with the Japanese soldiers.
"Tang Cheng called Sun He aside alone and revealed a small part of his plan. This small part was enough to make Sun He's liver tremble. This was to use the remaining men of the 1st company to fight the Japanese army.
Damn it, Sun He couldn't even figure out where Tang Cheng got such confidence.
"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say." The Japanese army temporarily stopped attacking and gave the 1st Company a chance to breathe. Tang Cheng took Sun He and sat in the trench, took out a cigarette and took a long puff. "This is my plan.
Yes, when the Japanese army attacks, I will not fight for now. When the Japanese army gets within 50 meters of us, Heizi and the others who are good at shooting will open fire first. I want them to think that we have no one left. Japanese nature
Arrogant, they often boast that a squad of Japanese soldiers can defeat a Japanese company, so they should despise us."
"When the Japanese army attacks within 30 meters of us, I will let the deserters leave. Their appearance will further stimulate the Japanese army to a certain extent, making them think that we cannot hold on anymore and have begun to retreat. The Japanese army's goal is
The county seat, so they are eager for us to break up. At this time, the short rifle team I prepared will first fire at close range, and at the same time the bombardment team will throw grenades. The entire range between 30 and 50 meters outside the trench will be controlled by grenade attacks.
Within the range, the attacking Japanese troops were pulled into two pieces, making it impossible for them to cooperate with each other."
Sun He lowered his head and smoked, but his mind was quickly making deductions according to Tang Cheng's narrative, "When we started fighting here, we attracted all the other party's attention. At this time, you take the opportunity to rush over and mess with them.
As long as we get in close contact with them, their machine guns and mortars will not be able to use their power, otherwise our 1st Company will not be a match for the Japanese army just in terms of firepower."
There were gunshots on the position one after another. Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette butts in his hand and reached out to pat Sun He on the shoulder, "This battle may be a battle to the death. The key is your speed. As long as you get involved with the Japanese troops behind, these
Only the attacking Japanese soldiers will panic. If we cooperate properly, it shouldn't be difficult to repel these Japanese soldiers." In fact, Tang Cheng himself didn't have much confidence in his heart. The reason why he was so calm was just to give Sun He
Some encouragement.
After several rounds of bombardment by the Japanese army with grenade launchers, the Japanese army, which was lying on the ground and crawling forward, continued to attack. With Tang Cheng's deliberate release of water, the Japanese army finally broke into a range less than 50 meters away from the 1st company position. Maoyao
The advancing Japanese soldiers demonstrated their accurate marksmanship. The 1st platoon of 40 people originally had less than 30 people still fighting. As the Japanese army gradually approached, Tang Cheng watched Sun He and the others move to the flanks.
Tang Cheng's command became more and more confusing to the veterans. Why did Tang Cheng force them to stay in the artillery holes when the position was already in danger? Why did he still force them to stay in the artillery holes when the Japanese army pressed hard?
50 people went to the flanks of the position. These too many questions made the veterans in the artillery holes panic, but Tang Cheng had no time to pay attention to them now. Tang Cheng, who was shuttled back and forth in the trenches, was obviously the busiest in the entire position.
that person.
On the 1st company's position, the only ones who persisted in fighting back were a few bandits under Heizi, and then there were Tang Cheng and a few squad platoon leaders. The suddenly much weaker counterattack made the attacking Japanese troops become suspicious. They were afraid that this was China again.
A trap set by the defenders. After several trials, Hashimoto, who directed the attack, finally concluded that this was not a trap set by the defenders, but that the opponent really had no one left.
"Untie their ropes and give them the guns." After firing the last bullet in the gun chamber, Tang Cheng took out the two shell guns from his waist and at the same time ordered Jiu Jin to escort those few over.
He let go of the deserters and asked them to run back with their own weapons. "I will only give you a count of ten. When I count to ten, I will shoot. If you don't want to die, just run away."
These deserters were facing each other. Tang Cheng held up the shell gun in his hand. Seeing that Tang Cheng was not going to shoot them on the spot, these deserters were surprised and ran away.
