Chapter 777: Panjing River
Panjing River, the southernmost part of Luodian is not a well-known small river, the widest position of the river is only five or six meters, the narrowest is only less than three meters, there is a bridge in this narrowest position, it is said that it was built in ancient times, there is a history, in China, you can find some historical buildings in any small village and town.
Yu Yang took the Seventh Company to the opposite side of the Panjing River, and the people of the Sixth Company not far away arrived a little earlier than Yu Yang, occupied a favorable position, and had already exchanged fire with the Japanese a few times, and the specific casualties Yu Yang did not know for the time being.
The Japanese defenders were short of troops, and had just landed at Shishiling and Chuanshakou yesterday, and most of their landing troops were consolidating their beachheads, or engaging the main Kuomintang forces in the north, while the Japanese defenders in Luodian were not very many, and the Japanese did not expect Luodian to take it so easily.
The current Luodian defenders have to take into account the attack in three directions, and the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side of the Yuyang River is about fifty or sixty people, the size of a small team.
A Japanese squad generally consisted of three squads and a grenadier squad equipped with three grenadiers, each squad had thirteen people, including a squad leader, four machine gun shooters, armed with a light machine gun (commander, shooter, two deputy shooters with ammunition)
and eight infantrymen, if it is a division of the first division, there will be one more fifty-millimeter grenadier carried by two people.
Yu Yang looked at the time, it was time for the general attack, and the sound of gunfire had already been heard in the north and west, and the main forces on both sides had already exchanged fire with the Japanese
Yu Yang waved his hand, and the twenty people who had been selected by Yu Yang followed Yu Yang out, Wang Hao and Lao Zhao were also listed, and John took a soldier to hide in the corner looking for an opportunity to kill some valuable targets, such as machine gunners, gunners or commanders.
"You're going to follow me into the water, have you found all the branches you were looking for? Race to the barrel of the gun, remember, all the bullets are unloaded! ”
Yu Yang and his soldiers' current location is the widest surface of the entire Panjing River, and there are certain reeds and weeds on both sides as shelters, and it is also the area where the Japanese have the most lax defense.
Yu Yang carefully touched the water, and then walked down to the river little by little, holding a reed hollow pole in his mouth, and dived directly before he got out of the reed area by the river.
The rest of the soldiers followed behind Yu Yang and slowly entered the water one by one, all of which were given to them by Yu Yang, in order to prevent large water ripples from appearing on the surface of the river, which were discovered by the Japanese.
At the same time, the men of the Sixth Company began to exchange fire with the Japanese again, but they did not choose to attack like Yu Yang, but wanted to attack from the front.
Thirty or forty meters to the opposite side of the bridge, a position was set up, guns were set up and the Japanese began to shoot, and at the same time, small wooden boats that I did not know where to find were ready to force the crossing of the river, and at the same time there were soldiers ready to storm the bridge.
Yu Yang wanted to communicate with the sixth company commander before, but the other party didn't have a bird at all.
There are many factions in the Kuomintang, in addition to the local factions, there are also deep mustards among the low-level officers, such as the sixth company commander is a graduate of Baoding Jiangwutang, and Yu Yang's identity is mentioned by ordinary big-headed soldiers, the sixth company commander looks down on Yu Yang at all, he is the one who wants to be a general.
The deepest part of the river is much deeper than Yu Yang expected, but fortunately, Yu Yang learned to swim before, otherwise he might not have died on the battlefield, but died in the water first.
The soldiers behind him surpassed Yu Yang, one by one as flexible as a frog in the water, only Yu Yang moved slowly like a water dog, thanks to the Sixth Company, they attracted the attention of the Japanese, and did not pay attention to Yu Yang in their direction, otherwise Yu Yang's swimming level would definitely be discovered.
Two minutes later, Yu Yang stepped on the mud and slowly poked his head out, he had swam to the other side of the river, and many soldiers had already gone ashore, hiding around the river bank to check their weapons.
Even a small amount of oilcloth paper was sent out to Yu Yang, each person had ten bullets for emergency, after going ashore, check the weapon and immediately start to fill the ammunition, the weapon chamber water is not a big problem, the main thing is that the bullet can not enter the water, once the bullet enters the water, it is impossible to hear the sound.
Yu Yang climbed ashore, opened his backpack, and distributed the ammunition that had already been allocated to each soldier one by one, the backpack brought from the killing land was one of the few waterproof tools in the entire company, and the bullets of the soldiers crossing the river were all packed in Yu Yang's bag.
After going ashore, Yu Yang and his soldiers found a possible safe position and lay down, observing the surrounding environment: "You guys check your weapons carefully, don't wait until you can't shoot!" ”
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he began to check his M1 Garand, compared to the middle formal, the performance of this weapon is much superior, and after a simple inspection, Yu Yang pressed a twin row of bullet bridges into the chamber of the gun, ready to fight.
"Lao Zhao, your machine gun is fine!"
"It's fine!"
"Okay, stay safe!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the position of the bridge, Yu Yang's goal was the nameless small bridge, if he wanted to enter the town from the south, that bridge was the only place to pass, and now there were six companies in front of him to attract the attention of the Japanese, which was a great opportunity for a sneak attack.
Walking forward for more than ten meters, Yu Yang made a gesture, signaling the troops to stop advancing, and at the same time waved his hand to press down, keeping on guard, less than thirty meters in front, Yu Yang saw a Japanese improvised position, and several Japanese were shooting at the other side of the river.
"Prepare for battle!" I don't plan to rush over and touch the sentry, I can't touch the sentry, a few steps further is a flat ground without any cover, as long as the Japanese are not blind, they can see this small detachment of more than 20 people!
Yu Yang took out a grenade and gently pulled off the fuse, while Lao Zhao quickly found a position to set up the machine gun, and raised a big beard at Yu Yang, Yu Yang immediately threw the grenade out forcefully, and at a distance of thirty meters, any soldier could easily throw it over.
The grenade rolled to the edge of the Japanese position, and Yu Yang quickly picked up his rifle and began to shoot, a little annoyed, just now in order to throw the grenade into the Japanese position, the force was a little lighter, otherwise the grenade would definitely be thrown into the feet of the Japanese.
"Enemy attack, behind!"
"Watch out for grenades!"
The Japanese soldiers reacted immediately after Yu Yang's grenade was thrown beside them, one of the soldiers directly threw himself on the grenade, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers immediately looked for cover and prepared to counterattack.
"Peng!" Yu Yang shot and killed a Japanese soldier, and at the same time, a series of gunshots rang out behind him, and Yu Yang's subordinates also began to shoot.
The marksmanship of the Kuomintang soldiers is really a little worrisome, except for Yu Yang and Wang Hao, who killed two people, there was no result, most of the bullets could not find the landing point, and the few people who hit accurately, the bullet impact point and the target were also a little far away.
