Chapter 37: The Bloody Battle on the East Coast (Part II)
Almost as soon as Sun Liren's words fell, the devil's naval artillery shells fell down like a storm.
Most of them bombarded the surface of the Xiaoling River and the banks of both banks.
The powerful naval artillery shells exploded violently one after another, and the follow-up troops of the national army who were building the bridge were suddenly dealt a devastating blow.
Countless bridge-building soldiers, along with some of the pontoon equipment that had just been laid, were blown into pieces by the violent blast wave of the explosion, and they were raging and flying.
In the firelight, countless officers and soldiers were blown away, and the stumps and severed arms and various pontoon debris flew high like rain, and then fell into the river.
The blood soon stained the surface of the lake red, and some shells fell into the water, setting off huge waves as high as seven or eight meters.
The follow-up troops, who were building bridges and crossing the river, suffered heavy casualties for a while, and their positions were in chaos.
Lin Rui on the east bank had just killed another devil machine gunner, and when he heard the earth-shattering explosion behind him, he suddenly turned around, only to see dazzling fires rising into the sky one after another.
In the scarlet firelight that could almost illuminate the night as much as day, you could clearly see many officers and soldiers of the country who had been blown up into the sky, as well as fragments of various pontoon equipment, raging with the blast wave of the explosion.
Seeing this scene, Lin Rui's mood sank suddenly, and the thing he was most worried about really happened.
At the same time, in Lujiadu Village, seeing this, Saburo Hirano pulled out his Shaozuo officer's knife and swept it forward, and ordered: "Attack!" Kill Quack! Kill the Shina army in front! ”
I have to say that Saburo Hirano's grasp of the fighter is still extremely accurate, because of their naval artillery fire bombardment and blocking.
The follow-up reinforcements of the Tax Police Regiment and the 22nd Independent Brigade suffered heavy casualties and were unable to provide timely and effective support across the river.
And the morale of the assault troops led by Lin Rui will also be affected by this.
At this time, Saburo Hirano commanded his troops to take the initiative to attack and carry out a counter-assault on Lin Rui and them, and the timing was just right.
Under the orders of Saburo Hirano, more than 300 devil marines, armed with rifles loaded with bayonets, rushed out of the village defense line under the cover of their light and heavy machine guns, rapid-fire guns, mortars and other light and heavy firepower.
Crowds barked and shouted, killing Lin Rui and the other commandos.
Lin Rui raised his hand and shot a ghost who rushed forward with a headshot.
Then, with his backhand, he pulled out a bayonet from his leg, loaded it into the muzzle of the Mauser rifle, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, in a battle tonight, either the enemy will die or I will die!" For the sake of victory, in order to defend the dignity of our Chinese soldiers, all of them took bayonets and fought with the little devils! ”
From the village to the place where Lin Rui was blocked, that is, a distance of one or two hundred meters, this distance, with the scale of the commando's equipment and firepower, as well as the dangerous terrain at that time, it was impossible to block the devil's counter-assault.
Since white-knuckle combat is unavoidable, you can only puff up your chest to face it!
The commandos who can be selected by Lin Rui, in addition to being well versed in water, are all veterans who have been well-trained and have joined the army for more than two years and have actual combat experience.
Courage and the will to fight are both first-class toughness.
And they all understand that at this moment, there is no choice but to face the enemy head-on, because even if they take a step back, they will die without a place to bury.
Therefore, after Lin Rui gave the order, all the living commandos took out their bayonets and loaded them on their rifles.
The next moment, under the leadership of Lin Rui, with a rifle in hand, he jumped up with a roar in unison, rushing forward.
"Kill!"
"Rush!" In the loud and deafening shouts of killing, Lin Rui and more than 100 officers and soldiers of the commando team quickly collided head-on with the Japanese counterattack force in Lujiadu, and instantly burst out with a series of bayonets intersecting with the sound of gold and iron, as well as the sound of bones breaking.
Amid the screams and roars of soldiers on both sides, the entire battlefield was littered with flesh and blood.
The person who encountered Lin Rui head-on was a Japanese warrant officer who was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and this devil was holding a 38 big cover at that time, and he stabbed viciously at Lin Rui's chest.
Unexpectedly, Lin Rui, who seemed to be thin, roared, held a Mauser 98K rifle, and directly slashed the rifle that the devil warrant officer stabbed out violently.
Immediately afterwards, before the Japanese warrant officer could recover from the shock, Lin Rui had already stepped forward with a gun.
Burst! The sharp bayonet easily pierced the body of the warrant officer of the devil, straight through the back.
The Devil warrant officer's eyes were full of horror and despair, and his face quickly became an indescribable color of pain, and blood began to seep out from the corners of his mouth.
He couldn't believe that Lin Rui would have such great strength and flexible stabbing skills when he was dying.
But Lin Rui didn't talk nonsense with him, and after he succeeded in one move, he directly raised his leg and kicked it upside down, pulled out his bayonet, and turned his gun to another Japanese second lieutenant in front of the right.
The warrant officer was kicked by Lin Rui and flew out three or four meters, fell to the ground on his back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably, and he struggled for a few times before he moved.
And the devil second lieutenant who was targeted by Lin Ruixin was in danger of persecuting a commando who was fighting with him with a knife at this time, and he was gradually unable to parry, and he was about to die under his knife.
At the critical moment, Lin Rui arrived in time with a rifle, first used the rifle to block the knife that the devil second lieutenant was determined to get, and then forcefully swung the second lieutenant's saber away, rushed over with the gun, and started a fight with the second lieutenant.
This devil second lieutenant is about thirty years old, and his white-bladed stabbing skills are much better than the warrant officer who was killed by Lin Rui just now.
Seeing Lin Rui coming with a gun, he quickly brandished his saber and responded calmly.
However, Lin Rui's white-bladed fighting skills are definitely one of the best in the world.
After the two of them fought back and forth for a few moves, Lin Rui grabbed a flaw in the other party by virtue of his speed and the advantage in the length of his rifle, and a stab stabbed the devil lieutenant in the lower abdomen, and then roared and pulled hard to the left.
With the sharp blade of the bayonet, half of the devil's abdomen was directly cut open.
Under the pain of the devil lieutenant, he couldn't help but let out a terrible scream: "Ah! ”
Swinging his knife with all his might, he slashed at Lin Rui's head, wanting to die with Lin Rui.
But Lin Rui snorted coldly, and directly changed to holding the gun in one hand, and stabbed forward, poof! The bayonet pierced the back of the devil lieutenant, and then the tremendous force pushed his body backwards.
Lin Rui's Mauser rifle and bayonet were nearly two meters long, and Lin Rui's arm span directly pushed the second lieutenant nearly three meters away from him.
In this way, the saber of the devil lieutenant naturally split into the air.
