Chapter 55: The Bloody Gap
The moon went down, and the eastern sky gradually appeared white, and a touch of red slowly appeared in the clouds, sprinkling the first rays of sunlight in the morning onto the Yuguan city wall.
At the opening, several trees were set ablaze by cannonballs, orange-red flames rose from their trunks, and their bark beeped and gradually turned into charcoal.
On the breach position, there were the corpses of soldiers everywhere, and there were bullet casings scattered all over the ground, and people could kick those bullet casings with a tinkling sound as they walked.
Some of the wounded fighters lay in the trenches, leaning against the scarred earthen walls of the bombs, and from time to time they made a sound or two**, and the wounds wrapped in dirty bandages kept oozing red blood, attracting some flies. These guys didn't know where they came from, they couldn't even freeze them to death in this cold weather, and they were still buzzing around people with energy, and they couldn't catch up.
In the sky, crows are circling, these guys who like to eat carrion should smell the smell of corpses, so they came all the way to prepare a feast on the corpses of the dead people below, but those who have not yet died, and the burning flames make them a little afraid, so they only dare to hover in the sky, and they will not have the courage to come down for a while.
In the trenches, the sandbag fortifications that were originally built have been leveled by the artillery fire of the devils, and people can only lie down in the shallow trenches, using the remaining sandbags to cover their corpses.
One of the soldiers was wounded in the head, and the medic wrapped the bandage around him a few times, and at this time the bandage was a little loose, and it was crooked around his head, and he didn't bother to fix it, but looked up at the sky with his eyes blank.
At one end of a trench, three soldiers gathered together, holding a few branches in their hands, sketching on the ground, and chanting words in their mouths, "Steamed buns, dumplings, braised pork, stewed pork vermicelli......
The commander of the eighth company sat in the trench, wiping his machete, after this fight, the blade of his machete was a little curled, but he was still carefully wiping the broadsword, as if he was his own child.
This big knife has been with him for seven or eight years, and before he joined the Northeast Army, his father, who was a blacksmith, built it for him and told him to be a real man.
Since then, this knife has accompanied him through eight years of cold, summer, spring and autumn, and has also made a lot of contributions to him, and now the skin on the knife handle has been sharpened and darkened, and the originally very sharp blade is also a little dull.
On all fingers, there really hasn't been a battle as fierce as it is today.
The devil rushed up six times, he led the soldiers to go up, and started hand-to-hand combat with the devil, at least a dozen devils fell under this big knife, and the good steel mouth couldn't withstand it, there were gaps one after another, and some places were also curled blades.
Looking at the damaged broadsword, the eighth company commander had no regrets, killing the devil to protect the family and defend the country, even if this broadsword was completely scrapped, it would be worth it.
After wiping the big knife, the eighth company commander raised it in front of him, he looked at the big knife, and said in a low voice, "Big knife, big knife, you have been with me for so many years, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to drink the blood of the little devil today, I think if you have spirituality, you should also call out happily." ”
The snowy blade of the big knife flashed with dazzling light, and the two blood grooves on the knife body penetrated the entire knife body, so that when the big knife cut into the devil's body, it could be easily pulled out and not clamped.
A platoon of leaders walked over from the side, his face covered in mud and sweat, mixed with blood, had formed a black-red lump, and his clothes had been torn in many places, revealing the bronzed skin inside.
When he came to the front of the commander of the eighth company, he sat on the ground with his butt, panting heavily, and the box of ammunition on his shoulder fell to the ground, and one grenade after another rolled out of it and scattered to the ground.
"Company commander, this is the last box of grenades, and if it's gone, it's really gone." The physical strength of a platoon leader was too much, so even such a small box of grenades exhausted him, and he didn't even have the desire to move.
The commander of the eighth company poked the big knife beside him, then bent down to pick up the grenades on the ground, and then handed them to the signal soldier on the side, and scolded in his mouth, "You loser, we have so little money left, you kid don't be careful." ”
The platoon commander grinned, touched his head and smiled, "Company commander, I didn't mean to. ”
The two men picked up all the grenades on the ground and distributed them to the fighters in the trenches, and then ordered them to save some or they would have to fight with their fists in a moment.
Although he brought a lot of ammunition, the battle was too fierce, and in just one night, the ammunition was exhausted, and there was not much left.
It seems that the devil's attack is still continuing, after the rest of the dawn hour, their attack after dawn must be very fierce, and I am afraid that the life of the eighth company will be even more difficult at that time.
However, the commander of the eighth company was ready to live and die with the position, and they would rather all die here than take a step back.
Just as the commander of the eighth company was resting, a black dot appeared in the northwest sky, and then a rumbling roar was heard, and then the black dot became bigger and bigger, and flew quickly towards this side. At the same time, several black spots appeared there, scattered to several places, and the positions were all positions of various units fighting fiercely with the devils.
"What is this?" The Eighth Company Commander and they all stared wide-eyed, and when they saw that the black dot was getting closer and closer, they could already clearly see that it was a dragonfly-like strange guy, and a large propeller above his head was constantly spinning, and the deafening roar was coming from his body.
"What kind of weird guy is this?" Some fighters had never seen a helicopter before, and they muttered in their hearts, and even raised their rifles to shoot a few bullets at the helicopter.
A soldier who had seen Luo Xiao hurriedly stopped those people, and then said, "Don't shoot, this is called a helicopter, it is the stuff of the Yanhuang Legion, I heard that it can sit people and load things." ”
"Really?" The commander of the eighth company was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically in disbelief.
The warrior pointed his hand, "Look, doesn't that fall?" ”
At this time, the Hippopotamus armed transport helicopter slowly fell, and when there were still two people on the ground, the helicopter stopped, and then the hatch was opened, and a person jumped from above and landed on the ground.
"You're Company Commander Hou, right?" The burly special combat team member glanced at the commander of the eighth company, and then said, "According to the agreement, our Yanhuang Legion supports part of the weapons and equipment of your ninth brigade, and I hope to help you." He waved his hand as he spoke.
It seems that he didn't expect something good to come, and the eighth company grew up with his mouth open for a while, and then he came to his senses, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's great, we are lacking these things." ”
There were also two special combat team members on the helicopter, and they immediately handed the equipment on it to the soldiers of the Northeast Army who ran over, and then asked them to put it on the ground.
There were five wooden crates for rifles and twenty crates for ammunition, as well as five light machine guns and several crates of ammunition and grenades.
After unloading the items, the three special operators returned to the helicopter, which then lifted off and left the place, disappearing.
"Company commander, take it apart and see what good things it is?" The warriors spoke aloud, and then looked at the wooden boxes with eager eyes, hoping to see what was inside.
The commander of the eighth company laughed and opened the wooden box, then tore off the straw covering it, and then removed the oiled paper that wrapped the gun, revealing the brand-new Mauser rifle inside.
"Good gun, good gun!" Stroking the smooth wooden handle and the well-maintained barrel, the eighth company commander's excited hara was about to flow down. These guns were much stronger than their original Hanyang-made and medium-formal rifles, which really made him a little bit in love.
"Company commander, look!" The soldiers opened another wooden box, revealing a box of bullets inside, all of which were shiny and shiny, and they could be seen to be all good things.
In addition, in the disassembled machine gun box, five brand-new Czech machine guns were placed in front of people's eyes, and the smooth shape made the soldiers can't help but want to touch it.
"Company commander, let's send it this time!" A soldier clutched a Mauser rifle and shouted happily.
Each wooden box contained twenty Mauser rifles, and there were fifteen thousand rounds of ammunition in total, and on average, no one had one hundred and fifty rounds, which was a feeling of getting rich overnight for soldiers who usually counted bullets in one piece.
"Brothers, the Yanhuang Legion has sent us such a good weapon, if we don't work hard to fight Japan, then none of us will be sorry." The commander of the eighth company crossed his waist and stood on a wooden box and shouted, "Give me enough strength to wait for the little devil to come up and beat me to the death again." ”
As he was shouting on the wooden box, suddenly a Type 92 grenade flew from a distance and exploded outside the bunker, leaving him covered in the dust.
"The devil has attacked!" The soldier in charge of the guard shouted from the side.
The commander of the eighth company hurriedly rushed to the front of the bunker, and saw that the Japanese soldiers were lined up in a straggler line, and they rushed towards the gap with rifles.
"Prepare for battle!" The commander of the eighth company roared, grabbed a Czech light machine gun from the wooden box, then dismantled the magazine full of bullets into the slot of the gun, and then pulled the bolt hard, "Let the little devil taste the power of our new weapon." ”
The wooden crates were opened one by one, and the brand-new Mauser rifles inside were seized by the soldiers, and then one of them divided one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, and then threw himself behind the fortifications.
With this new weapon, everyone is more energetic, and they are eager to use this useful guy to teach the devil a memorable lesson.
