Another attack by the Japanese army was repelled, but Tang Cheng did not dare to relax. The soldiers of the direct company had already suffered casualties of more than 30 people. If they continued to struggle with the Japanese army like this, the number of casualties among his brothers might increase in the end.
They found Mike in the trench full of floating soil, who was being held down by a military doctor to check the wound. Mike did not suffer any serious injuries, he was just hit in the buttocks by shrapnel from a grenade.
Although the injuries were not serious, the injuries were somewhat difficult to describe, which is why Mike was so resistant to the medical treatment. "17 people died and 22 were injured. All the light machine guns we captured from the Japanese army were broken. Now,
We can only rely on the light and heavy machine guns we brought, but bullets are a big problem. Your heavy machine gun is a bottomless pit for bullets." Ignoring Mike's embarrassed look, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and stuffed it in
From the latter's mouth, this actually made Mike feel a little better.
"Let's retreat. Didn't Yanlong say that he has found a way? While the Japanese troops at the bottom of the mountain are not attacking, we should leave here quickly. As long as we enter the forest, we will be safe." Mike, who had treated his wounds, could not squat down, so he could only poke his head.
Lying on his butt on a pile of floating soil, without enough ammunition, his heavy machine gun is just a pile of scrap metal at best. But without the powerful firepower of the heavy machine gun, the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain will attack sooner or later. Mike can now share
Understand the urgency of things.
After listening to Mike's words, Tang Cheng just shook his head silently, "Those who can't leave, we still have so many injured brothers. If we leave the battlefield at night, the injured brothers may not be able to follow them, leaving them behind."
, I can't do it, and I won't do that." Tang Cheng's persistence made Mike a little dumbfounded. Could it be that Tang Cheng continued to hold on here, continue to confront the Japanese troops at the bottom of the mountain, and then wait for the other side to gather their forces to attack the mountain?
?
"I am going to lead a team of people to go down the mountain to take down their mortar positions, and then engage in close combat with them. The Japanese army still uses bolt-action rifles, which may not be a match for American firearms. As long as the plan is proper,
Maybe we still have the possibility of a comeback." Tang Cheng's words shocked Mike. There are not many men left in the direct company. If Tang Cheng's operation fails, the direct company will be wiped out if it is not handled well.
It's here.
Perhaps seeing the struggle and wavering in Mike's heart, Tang Cheng said with a smile, "Don't stop me. Besides, you can't stop me. I have fought with the Japanese army many times, and I don't know their ability to fight in close combat."
Less. If I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't have made such a move. If we continue to sit on the top of the mountain and take advantage of their shells, more of our people may die. Once the ammunition is gone, do you think it's just a bayonet fight?
Will we be opponents of the Japanese army?"
Tang Cheng failed to completely convince Mike, but Mike could not stop Tang Cheng. The two were in a stalemate, but Hou San had already selected 30 agile soldiers to serve as the commando team in accordance with Tang Cheng's orders. "Third brother,
Mike is injured, and the top of the mountain is left to you. When you see a large-scale explosion at the bottom of the mountain, you can use flares here, and then lead people to press down from the mountain. We will attack the Japanese troops from both sides." When the weapons and ammunition were finally sorted,
Tang Cheng did not forget to carefully warn Hou San that among the few people Tang Cheng could rest assured, only Hou San could be considered an honest and prudent person.
Dice insisted on going with Tangcheng to sneak attack the Japanese artillery position. Just as Dice passed by Hou San, the latter suddenly grabbed Dice, stared at Dice and said word by word, "We are a matter of life and death."
Brother, there is one thing you must keep in mind. Once you find that the war cannot be reversed, you must protect your commander and leave here. No matter what, you must promise me to protect your commander." Dice did not speak, but
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily to Hou San.
Watching more than 30 people from Tangcheng slowly disappear into the night, Hou San turned around and urged the remaining soldiers to seize the time to strengthen their positions. Even Cai Jincheng and the others were kicked out by Hou San to help the military doctors take care of the injured soldiers.
The road Long led the people to find behind the mountain was extremely dangerous. If they wanted to leave here through the mountain, the direct company must first step on the cliff to cross a half-suspended mountain, and cross such a steep mountain in such a dark night.
On the mountain wall, those injured soldiers simply couldn't do it, so Tang Cheng chose to lead people to attack proactively, trying to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain and find a way out for the trapped direct company.
As the commander, Tang Cheng knew the risk of taking the initiative at this time. Hou San and Mike who stayed on the top of the mountain also knew it. That's why Hou San quietly told Dice to protect Dice when there was a crisis.
Tangcheng left. The direction Tangcheng chose to go down the mountain was on the flank of the entire Tushan Mountain. It may be due to the terrain. In the previous round of Japanese attacks, no Japanese troops appeared in this direction. Now Tangcheng is going to sneak attack the Japanese army. Of course, he cannot care about the terrain.
Conveniently, the more the terrain is stained by the Japanese army, the easier it is to sneak attack on the Japanese army.
In addition to weapons and ammunition, Tangcheng and the others did not even wear helmets. In order to avoid making any noise when going down the mountain and being discovered by the Japanese army, Tangcheng even ordered all people going down the mountain not to carry even water bottles. They were almost carrying their heads.
The backs of the people in front, Tangcheng hidden in the night, they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, and vaguely heard the voices of Japanese soldiers. Dice, who was walking at the front, squatted down on the spot and stretched out his hand to hand over his sniper rifle.
The soldier behind him pulled out the bayonet from his waist with his backhand.
If the Japanese army wants to capture the direct company on the top of the mountain, it is necessary to encircle the mountain. Perhaps because of the strength of the troops, there are only a few Japanese soldiers guarding the direction of Tangcheng and others going down the mountain. They bite the bayonet in their mouths and use the dice with two of their most skilled soldiers.
The good scouts moved forward quietly. The night was the best cover. However, when they were covering themselves, the night also affected their actions and sight lines. The three of them, holding their breath, sneaked all the way, and finally they were at that distance.
A few Japanese soldiers stopped only a dozen meters away, and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were still chatting.
The Japanese soldiers guarding the middle of the mountain had no campfires and no one smoked. This made it impossible for Dice and the others to confirm the exact number of enemies, so they could only judge how many Japanese soldiers were in front of them from the sounds of the Japanese soldiers talking to each other.
For Dice and the others, Japanese is difficult to understand, and the gurgling sound gives a headache. If it had been during the day, the security guard would have hit it with a grenade. Dice flexed and stretched his fingers one by one until he was sure after repeated confirmations.
When there were five Japanese soldiers in front of him, Dice held the bayonet in his mouth in his hand.
Just as Dice and the three men tensed up and were about to rush out, one of the scouts behind Dice picked up a piece of gravel and threw it far away from him. The Japanese soldiers who were talking more than ten meters away could naturally hear the sound of the gravel falling to the ground.
, hurriedly stopped talking, held the rifle, and looked carefully in the direction of the sound. At this moment, the three men carrying bayonets and Dice had already stood up and rushed out in the direction of the Japanese soldiers. "Poof!" A Japanese hurriedly turned around.
Before the soldier had time to cry out, Dice had already stabbed his chest with a bayonet. The Japanese soldier next to him felt that his face was hot and full of fishy smell, and then he felt a chill on his neck. Dice
The bayonet in his hand had already cut his neck.
Two of the five Japanese soldiers were knocked over by dice before they woke up. The remaining three were also knocked over by two scouts each. The last Japanese soldier was the most cunning. Although he could not see clearly the situation in front of him.
, but hearing the sound of a bayonet entering his flesh was enough to wake him up. Before the dice pounced again, the Japanese soldier finally dodged and ran straight down the mountain. "Can you run?"
As soon as Dice raised his hand, the bayonet still dripping with blood in his hand came out of his hand, and a cold light shot out like flying and pierced into the back of the Japanese soldier.
Fortunately, they were able to kill the five warning sentries posted by the Japanese army. Tangcheng's group finally touched down the mountain. According to the range of the Japanese mortars, Tangcheng roughly determined a search range. The only thing left was how to find the Japanese mortar.
Artillery position. "Da da da da da da" For some unknown reason, a burst of gunfire suddenly burst out from the top of the mountain, and then two explosions were heard from halfway up the mountain. With the light of the explosion, Tangcheng, who was on the flank, suddenly spotted the mid-mountain
There were a dozen Japanese soldiers evacuating down the mountain.
It was Noyama Shun and the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive that they retreated secretly down the mountain. All the officers commanding the team had been killed. Among the 20 or so Japanese soldiers left, only Noyama Shun had the longest military experience.
After discussion with a veteran who was one year younger than himself, Jun Noyama and the others decided to leave here quickly while the Chinese army on the top of the mountain was not cleaning the battlefield. If they waited for the enemies on the top of the mountain to come and clean the battlefield, they would be lucky enough to survive.
I'm afraid none of them will survive.
Among the 20 or so Japanese soldiers who were still alive, not all of them were unscathed like Shun Noyama and Aijo Kira. Most of them had wounds on their bodies, so when they retreated down the mountain, they accidentally injured themselves.
Therefore, Mike, who was already a little nervous on the top of the mountain, mistakenly thought that the Japanese army was attacking the mountain again, and immediately ordered the machine gun to fire. The powerful M2 heavy machine gun bullets not only tore the bodies of the Japanese soldiers to pieces, but also happened to explode two Japanese soldiers.
The grenades on his body were why Tangcheng and the others could see an explosion halfway up the mountain.
Compared with the unlucky companions around them, Noyama Shun and Kira Aijo, who had been chanting the blessings of the Buddha, were lucky. The two of them retreated halfway down the mountain without any injuries. However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, Noyama
Jun used his bayonet to cut several wounds on himself and Kira Xiangcheng. "As long as you do as I say, everything will be fine. If we want to return to our hometown alive, we must use such small means to save our lives."
." Although he couldn't understand Noyama Shun's approach, Kira Aijo still nodded doubtfully. He felt that his fellow countryman would not lie to him.
