Chapter 121: Step by step
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had already prepared for a short assault, shot at almost the same time and threw grenades into the U-shaped defensive circle formed by the Japanese troops against the small pier. Although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had a short capital, only threw out a dozen grenades in total, most of which were Jin-made grenades, almost all of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who threw grenades were veterans with rich combat experience.
Almost stepping on the point of the grenade explosion, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were holding Jin-made 38-style rifles in their hands, silently launched an attack on the Japanese defense circle. Although the formation of the charge did not have a strict group combat formation like the Japanese charge, it was by no means inferior to the Japanese soldiers in alternating attacks and covers between each other. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had already rushed to the front of the Japanese defensive position.
Like a demon suddenly emerging from hell, the Japanese soldiers, who were blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, also silently emerged from behind the bunkers, and also held the 38 big cover with bayonets attached, and fiercely collided with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were close at hand!
As if they had already known the Japanese army's combat methods, the dozen or so soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed to the front of the Japanese fortifications suddenly took a big step forward, knelt down with the momentum of the forward rush, and fired a platoon gun at the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the fortifications. And behind the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who suddenly stopped, several Japanese-style grenades also sneered and smoked over the heads of the devils who rushed out of the defensive position, and staggered in the direction of the small pier.
Suddenly, they encountered a platoon of guns close at hand, and the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the fortifications immediately shouted and knocked over several of them, and the remaining Japanese soldiers also subconsciously stopped, and aimed at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were half-kneeling in front of them.
Almost at the same time as those Japanese soldiers stopped holding their guns, from several rooftops and corners not far away, the gunfire of the 38 big cover rang out sharply, and immediately knocked several Japanese soldiers standing outside the fortifications like live targets to the ground. And behind the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the fortifications, the explosion of several Japanese grenades also suddenly rang out......
Without hesitation, they retreated sharply, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had fired a platoon of guns retreated while pulling the bolt to reload the shell, while holding the 20-round pistol or other types of pistols in their hands, they emerged from the back of the house near the fortifications like ghosts, quickly passed the retreating soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, grabbed the front of the Japanese fortifications, and shot a fan of the short guns in their hands towards the small steamboat that was already preparing to dock next to the small pier!
Shrinking his head suddenly, the half-guards in front of the island, who were squatting behind the second defensive bunker, felt the bullets whistling over his head, and suddenly roared in a loud voice: "Fight back!" Reinforcements have arrived, fight back....... Machine guns, machine guns? ”
While tearing out his throat and shouting, the half-guards in front of the island looked up at the roof behind them, but they found that the two machine gun shooters who had replaced the roof had been lying on the machine gun bunker softly, and it was obvious that they had been taken care of at the first time of the Eighth Route Army's attack......
Looking around at the less than ten Japanese soldiers who had survived, the half-guards in front of the island shouted with red eyes at the Japanese soldiers who had just boarded the dock and were rapidly opening their battle formations: "Are you all a bunch of fools? Why now? Rush up and kill all those people......."
Accompanied by the roar of the half-guards in front of the island, the Japanese soldiers carried by the two small steamboats that were the first to dock did not care about forming a combat formation as required by the Japanese infantry drills, and all rushed towards the bunker where the half-guards in front of the island were hiding with a loud roar. Before the people rushed to the vicinity of the bunker, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were already aiming their guns while running, and shot wildly at the martial engineers who had almost grabbed the first line of Japanese fortifications.
Regardless of the depth of the water near the small pier, they were dragged by a small steamboat and leaned against the wooden boat near the small pier, and several Japanese soldiers jumped into the icy river with grenadiers and climbed to the small pier with all their might. Before they could stand firm, several Japanese soldiers had already set up grenadiers on the small pier, and their hands and feet quickly shot a few grenades at the martial artists outside the first line of fortifications!
Listening to the howling sound of the grenade piercing through the air and falling, Mo Tianliu, who pounced on the first fortification, suddenly held his head with both hands, curled up and knelt outside the bunker, shouting at the top of his voice: "The devil has fired...... Dodge the cannon......"
Before the shouts fell, several grenades fired by the Japanese army had already smashed near the first line of fortifications, and Mo Tianliu, who was kneeling outside the bunker, was so shocked that he jumped up out of thin air and fell to the ground again.
Regardless of the pain caused by the fall of his knees, let alone the buzzing in his ears, Mo Tianliu's shouts were almost accompanied by a sharp whistle: "Mallet, do it....... Throw it away and run......."
Although the loud sound of the grenade explosion in his ears was so loud that he couldn't hear the movement next to him clearly, Mo Tianliu still heard Sha Bangcui's thunderclap-like roar: "You know......"
At the beginning of the roar, Sha Bangcui, who had been hiding behind the house on the left side of the devil's fortifications, strode out, waving his hands almost simultaneously in the defensive direction of the Japanese army, and the two sturdy grenades, already like crows returning to their nests at night, fell sharply in the direction of the Japanese rushing.
Quickly rolling on the spot, Mo Tianliu grabbed the trouser leg of Sha Bangcui, who had just stopped, and stood up, and staggered to Sha Bangcui: "Bang mallet, drag me to run...... The cannonball I called the devil shook and couldn't stand still......."
grabbed Mo Tianliu's belt, and then took another martial arts team member who stumbled and fell to his side, grabbed the belt and threw it under his armpit, Sha Bangcui ran away, but shouted loudly: "What are you dragging you to run?" Why don't I run away with you......."
Asked Sha Bangcui to carry it in his hand, and Mo Tianliu, who was dizzy, didn't forget to throw the earthen jars behind the house, and suddenly shouted with his hands and feet: "You stupid mallet!" Where are you heading...... Those earthen jars haven't been lit yet......."
Running wildly regardless of the ground, Sha Bangcui replied loudly: "If there is a sound to echo, it can't be wrong......"
Before the words fell, with a dull explosion, Sha Bangcui, who was galloping like a war horse, was shocked and jumped, and staggered several steps before steading his footing. The other members of the martial arts team who were rushing to retreat were all shocked and fell to the ground, and while getting up on their hands and feet, they yelled at Sha Bangcui: "Bang mallet, are you going crazy?!" How much earth explosives did you pile up in the back of that room? Even the house was called collapsed......."
Turning his head to glance at the collapsed house, and then looking at the large puff of smoke rising in the air, Sha Bangcui ran wildly with his legs pulled out and replied in a loud voice: "I'm afraid that those earth explosives are not strong enough, so I put two devils' grenades in it, but it can be regarded as a bloody investment, so I hope to be able to block the devils for a .......while."
While talking, Sha Bangcui, who had added almost 300 catties to his body, didn't even breathe, and rushed out of the entrance of Youfang Village in a moment. Behind the two machine gun nests that had already been set up outside the entrance of Youfang Village, two crooked machine guns aimed their guns at the only main road in Youfang Village, one left and one right, obviously setting up a posture to block the Japanese army.
Struggling to get Sha Bangcui to put himself on the ground, Mo Tianliu, who was finally a little more sober, got up and shouted at Gou Da who was lying behind the machine gun nest and holding the machine gun: "Brother Da Dan, didn't the big boss tell us to withdraw quickly?" Why are there machine guns here? ”
raised his eyes and looked at Mo Tianliu, who was standing on the ground and swaying, but Gou Da crooked his mouth towards the side: "We can't ask the devil to catch up, but we can't let the devil stop, so we can only fight for a while, retreat for a while, and slowly grind the devil!" Don't delay, get out of the way and run around our two machine-gun bunkers! ”
Obediently avoiding the main road, Mo Tianliu bypassed the machine gun nest guarded by Gou Da, and subconsciously looked at the road without the slightest trace of abnormality: "On the main road, Brother Zheng was asked to plant mines and bombs?" ”
"Not only on the main road, but also ten paces in front of our two machine gun nests! Hurry up, the devil is chasing after you......"
Subconsciously turned his head to look at the main road at the entrance of Youfang Village, Mo Tianliu was shocked to see dozens of Japanese soldiers breaking through the thick gunsmoke, howling with rifles and rushing towards the two machine gun nests. And behind the dozens of Japanese soldiers, some soldiers of the Imperial Association Army also ran unevenly, reloading their guns into the sky, while shouting at their throats: "Rush....... The owner said, catch an eight-way reward for ten yuan, and kill one for five yuan......"
"Don't you dare to cheat and play tricks...... There's a Japanese overseer team in the back...... Taking a step back is a death, and chasing and losing the Eighth Route Army is also a death, and the brothers are out of the way......"
Squinting his eyes, Gou Da, who was in control of the machine gun, waved his hand again at Mo Tianliu, who was standing next to the machine gun nest, and motioned for Mo Tianliu to go first, only then did he put the machine gun butt on his shoulder unhurriedly and pulled the trigger steadily. Suddenly, a series of long point shots that could make the veteran's legs weak when they heard it sounded heartily!
Almost at the same moment, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were in control of another crooked machine gun, also fired a series of crisp and neat short point shots, which immediately knocked down several Japanese soldiers who rushed in front of them, and then laughed and shouted: "Gou Da, there are guns, bullets, and devils today, let's compare the skills of eating here?" ”
The Japanese soldier who was pressed frantically with a long point shot again had to lie down and dodge, but Gou Da also opened his voice and shouted: "Does this still need to be compared? Look, I'm going to hit the third devil on the left who is sneaking around fiddling with the grenadier! ”
