Wearing a steel helmet with a straw collar, Tang Cheng slowly poked his head out of the trench and used a telescope to observe the black line that appeared in front of the position. The black line was not a line, but bandits wearing dark clothes.
The bandits who numbered between five and six hundred people wore all kinds of clothes, but most of them wore dark clothes, so what appeared in Tangcheng's sight was just a black line, but through the telescope, Tangcheng could see their figures.
As the previous horse bandits said, most of the bandits who appeared later were on foot. Tang Cheng moved his telescope, trying to find the leader among this group of bandits. He did not think that the man who appeared in his telescope was sitting
The thin monkey-like guy on the horse is the bandit leader. The thin monkey, who was stared at by Tang Cheng for a while with a telescope, didn't know that he almost became Tang Cheng's first choice. This guy wearing a short jacket was riding on
Waving the short gun in his hand on horseback, he didn't know what to shout to the bandits around him, but Tang Cheng didn't think that this humble guy was the bandit leader, because he didn't have the aura to command so many bandits roaring in the mountains and forests.
After looking around twice with a telescope, Tang Cheng couldn't find out who the bandit leader was, so he had to squat down angrily, "Inform the machine gun to be ready to fire. When I fire, I will throw a grenade. The grenade went off, and the machine gun
Fire again." In the eyes of most people, an infantry battle when neither side of the war has heavy weapons is nothing more than a heavy attack with machine guns and grenades, and when the enemy is in panic, the entire army rushes in to cover and kill them.
But among all the battles that Tang Cheng has experienced, he only had cluster-type hedging and close combat cover-ups with Japanese dramas when he was at Guanghua Gate. More often than not, Tang Cheng chose the German-style positions recorded in Xie Bo's notes.
War. The German army's positional warfare must rely on powerful ground-to-air artillery and the assault capabilities of armored forces as backing. However, Tangcheng now has neither ground-to-air artillery nor so-called armored forces, so what it can rely on is only the communication between soldiers.
Cooperating with the firepower layout that I figured out,
Having experienced the Japanese army's precise and terrifying artillery strike capabilities, Tangcheng has equipped the Second Company with enough ammunition carriers and assistant shooters for the several light and heavy machine guns now in the Second Company. Although the Second Company does not have a lot of machine gun ammunition, Tangcheng's layout
The ammunition handlers had another task, which was to move the machine guns and change their firing positions at any time. Only by constantly changing the shooting positions of the machine guns could it be possible to avoid the Japanese shelling. The battle at Guanghua Gate left a deep impression on Tangcheng.
, most of the machine guns of the Second Regiment of the Teaching Team were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire.
The order to prepare for war has been passed down one person after another. The soldiers of the Second Company in the trenches began to check their firearms and bullets. Although they had already checked their firearms when entering the position, the tension of the coming war still made them nervous.
The novices' hands and feet were stiff and at a loss, and the veterans did not scold the novices who were checking their rifles repeatedly. "Quiet, don't shoot without an order." Tang Cheng turned his face and looked around a few times. Mr. Niu beside him
Gui immediately understood and lowered his voice to ask the novices to calm down.
The trenches dug by Tangcheng outside the city were level with the ground. The excavated soil had already been moved by civilians on carts to a depression outside the city. Coupled with the irrigation of two rains, many trees grew around the trenches.
From a distance, the positions of the Second Company and Ma Pingchuan were no different from ordinary wild fields. These bandits who had just arrived had actually been deliberately slowing down. They were preparing to wait for Yang Tianlei's cavalry to break through the gate of Macheng.
They went into the city to pick up bargains, but they never expected that Yang Tianlei's horse bandits had been completely wiped out by Tang Cheng.
"Brother, brothers, we really can't walk anymore. Why don't we stop and take a breath? There has been no movement in the county. Maybe Yang Tianlei has captured it long ago. We are going to fight the autumn wind anyway, so we don't have to rush in such a hurry.
Do you think so?" The thin monkey on horseback got off his horse and quickly ran to a carriage in the crowd, respectfully asking the bald man sleeping sideways on the carriage.
The bald man who had been pretending to sleep suddenly opened his eyes. The skinny monkey in his eyes couldn't help but take a step back. "Brother, see for yourself. I am not lying to you. Brothers really can't walk anymore."
The thin monkey who was carefully accompanying the smiling face saw that the bald man had no intention of blaming him, so he boldly approached the carriage again and asked in a low voice.
Before the bald man could stand up from the carriage and speak, the bandits in the front group suddenly started to commotion, and a bandit in colorful clothes ran over panting. "Brother, Biaozi and the others found blood stains in front.
The blood looks fresh, and Biaozi said it shouldn't take more than an hour." The bandit who came back to report the news looked up at the bald man who had stood up on the carriage, who was looking forward with a telescope in his hand.
"Monkey, tell the brothers to be patient. Yang Tianlei's people should have opened the gate of Macheng. If we wait any longer, all the good things in the county will be robbed by Yang Tianlei." Jumped down.
The bald man in the carriage grabbed the reins from the bandits beside him, jumped up and sat on the horse, and then galloped away from the rear group.
"Have you heard what brother just said? If we continue to mess around like this, those bastards from Qingfeng Hall will rob all the good things in the county. They will take away all the good things. We can eat and drink whatever we want.
Speed up and go into the city to steal money and women." The thin monkey who jumped on the carriage imitated the bald man just now and put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly. After hearing that, a group of bandits who were entering the city to steal money and women came immediately.
Mentally, each one looked up to the sky and howled like a wolf dog.
"Miyamoto Taijun, my people found blood stains in front. I guess it should be Yang Tianlei's people who have already fought with the Macheng garrison. There is no movement in the county. Could Yang Tianlei have already broken into Macheng?
Are you there? Then do we need to speed up and enter the city?" The bald man who was galloping towards the rear group now lost the momentum he had just now. The bald man who had jumped off the horse was standing with his waist hunched over.
In front of the round-faced man wearing a felt hat, a dozen men in short shirts, also wearing felt hats, were standing next to the round-faced man, vaguely intending to surround the bald man.
Tang Cheng's guess was good. There were indeed Japanese soldiers among this group of bandits. However, the number of Japanese soldiers accompanying the bandits was not very large. The only one that could be counted on was a Japanese infantry squad. Although the Japanese army was in the battle of Taierzhuang
They suffered a big loss, but after the Japanese troops withdrew from Xuzhou one after another, the Japanese army resumed their arrogant attitude. In the next series of battles of the Japanese army, there would often be a small team of the Japanese army chasing a company or even a Japanese army.
The camp is running around.
Miyamoto Takego's infantry squadron was originally withdrawn from the front line to rest and recuperate, but the attack on Macheng planned by the Special High School received full support from Miyamoto Takego's squadron. As the vanguard of the squadron, it was already
Miyamoto Takego, with the rank of second lieutenant, temporarily assumed the position of squad leader, and took off the uniform of the Imperial Army and put on the colorful clothes of the Chinese bandits. Compared with the capture of Macheng, Miyamoto Takego felt that this grievance was not significant.
What kind of.
Capturing Macheng and opening the east gate to Wuhan was a task given personally by the squadron leader before leaving. Miyamoto Takego, who was expected to be promoted to military rank, kept the task firmly in mind. At the same time, he also needed to use this time
His military exploits helped him obtain the rank of lieutenant. After hearing the bald bandit leader say that the gate of Macheng might have been breached, Miyamoto Takego's breathing became thicker, and all he could think of was the scene in his mind of the squadron leader personally wearing the lieutenant rank badge on himself. His military exploits and
Military rank means everything to Takego Miyamoto, and it is also the ladder that allows him, who comes from a peasant family, to rise into the upper class of society.
"Taro, hang up the gun flag. We are soldiers of the empire. When we enter the city, we should let the Chinese people take a good look at the momentum of our imperial warriors." Miyamoto Takego didn't think much about what the bald bandit leader brought.
After hearing the news, he reached out and tore off the front lining of his jacket and prepared to put on the Japanese military uniform on the carriage. The Japanese soldiers who followed Miyamoto Takego disguised as bandits also endured the whole journey. If it weren't for the order of the squadron leader, they would not be willing to put it on.
Chinese people also wear such ridiculous hats in their clothes.
"Xiao Sang, you are very friendly to the Japanese Empire. After this mission is over, I will apply to the squadron leader for a reward, money, women, a lot of money." Miyamoto Takego, who put on military uniform, seemed to be affectionate.
He reached out and put his arms around the bald man's shoulders. Miyamoto Takego, who was only 1.6 meters tall, was like a short winter melon in front of the bald man who was over 1.8 meters tall. However, he couldn't stand the bald man and secretly bent his legs and collapsed his waist. If it weren't for this,
It was difficult for Miyamoto Takego to put his arm around the bald man's shoulders.
"Thank you, Mr. Miyamoto. I, Xiao Dapeng, have nothing but loyalty to the Japanese Imperial Army. As long as you speak, Mr. Miyamoto, I, Xiao Dapeng, will never quiver through fire or water."
Raise your eyebrows." Xiao Dapeng, who thought he was appreciated by Miyamoto Takego, slapped his chest loudly, but he didn't know that Miyamoto Takego, who put his arms around his shoulders, was sneering in his heart.
"Xiao Sang, since the gate of Macheng has been opened by the people from Qingfeng Hall, hurry up and enter the city. You take your people and go first. I will change my clothes and arrive soon." The cunning Miyamoto Takeshi
Xiang had no intention of letting his Japanese soldiers take the lead. He brought along Xiao Dapeng and this group of bandits just to serve as cannon fodder. Now was the time to use the cannon fodder.
"Come on, Miyamoto Tai-kun, just wait and see, I will get it right for you, then I will take the first step." Imitating the appearance of a Japanese military officer, I faced Miyamoto Takego with a smile on his face.
Standing at attention and bowing, Xiao Dapeng, who was already a little impatient, got on his horse and galloped forward. With Miyamoto Takego's words just now, Xiao Dapeng seemed to have seen countless money and women dazzling in front of his eyes.
