Chapter 42: Battlefield Training (Part II)

Looking coldly at the soldier of the Imperial Association Army who had broken his calf on a wooden bridge and was lying on the bridge crying and wailing, Taro Fukai did not hesitate to grab the 38 big cover carried by the Japanese soldiers next to him, and beat the injured Imperial Alliance soldier off the cliff with one shot!

In the battles that Taro Fukai has experienced, as long as the Chinese soldiers on the opposite position are subjected to artillery fire and machine-gun fire, it is usually a scene of chaos, and sometimes even a rout. Even if a small number of Chinese soldiers maintained a state of fighting without fear of death and fought to the end on the position, they would all be slaughtered cleanly after a Japanese charge because of their lack of combat experience and inferior weapons and equipment.

But the opponent hiding in the mountains and forests across the wooden bridge is not at all like the Chinese soldiers who have been seen fighting before?

At the moment when they were under artillery fire and machine-gun suppression, those well-hidden ambushers did not hesitate to abandon the blocking position they occupied, turned around and fled towards the dense mountain forest, and one of the ambushers even had the courage to turn back to save his wounded companion!

And when the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army relied on the cover of artillery fire to break through, those ambushers who did not hesitate to get out of the range of artillery fire accurately shot the Imperial Alliance soldiers walking on a wooden bridge from the depths of the woods, and successfully made the Imperial Alliance soldier who was broken leg and could only lie in the middle of the wooden bridge and scream to block the path of the follow-up personnel assault.

The next shot was not so much an angry response from the ambushers as a provocation to all the Japanese soldiers, who had only stuck half of their heads out of the trunk of the tree where they were hiding to observe the movement. In contrast, a large number of Imperial Alliance soldiers even showed half of their bodies behind the cover they were looking for......

Skillfully loading the 38 big cover in his hand, Taro Fukai turned his head to look at the two Japanese soldiers squatting beside him: "Sato, Kubota, you guys!" ”

With a muffled answer, the two Japanese soldiers named by Taro Fukai quickly jumped out of their hiding places, bent over and leaping alternately in the direction of a wooden bridge. Behind the two Japanese soldiers, two Taisho 10-style grenadiers and a light machine gun also began to fire in cover again.

Approaching the head of the bridge without hesitation, the Japanese soldier Sato, who rushed in front, waved the 38 big cover in his hand, and fiercely drove several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army towards the bridge, but he followed behind the trembling soldiers of the Imperial Alliance. Another Japanese soldier, Kubota, took out a grenade from his waist, lit the fuse, put one on his steel helmet, and threw the snorting grenade into the open space across the bridge.

In the sound of the explosion, the dead branches and leaves that were rushed up by the air waves were wrapped in thick gunsmoke, which suddenly blocked the sight of many soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army. The white leper who had regained his hiding behind the fallen tree trunk only looked at the situation in front of him, and immediately muttered to himself: "This Japanese fight..... It's really two-handed! It's no wonder that he was able to kill all the way across the Lugou Bridge from outside the gate......"

Also stretched out his head to look at the smoke rising from the bridgehead on the other side of a wooden bridge, and an officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army squatting next to the white leper also nodded frequently and agreed: "This method really works - although the smoke from the grenade explosion prevents us from seeing the movement on the other side of the bridge, but those people on the other side of the bridge can't see us clearly....... Why didn't we think of using this trick? ”

Glancing at the officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the white leper snorted angrily: "You also have to grow that heart eye?" Besides, our grenades are all made in Jin, and when you blow up a five-petal flower, you can't get much smoke, and there is no guy to use this method if you come up with it! Without further ado, when these two Japanese cross a wooden bridge and gain a firm foothold, you hurry up and get a platoon of people to rush over! ”

"Big brother, let's all fill in a class, and still fill it in?"

"Why don't you say you're stupid?! If you hit the gun hard, you will definitely lose money, but the Japanese are going to have the upper hand, so we have to hurry up and keep up, and we have to make a lot of money if we don't make a deal, do you understand? ”

Almost at the moment when the white leper said a few words to the officer of the Imperial Alliance, several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army had already rushed across the Ichiki Bridge under the urging of Sato, and Kubota, who threw the grenade, also threw a grenade at the opposite side of the Ichiki Bridge at the moment when he rushed onto the Ichiki Bridge!

Seeing that several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who had rushed across the wooden bridge hurriedly fell to the ground, and Sato and Kubota, who had rushed across the wooden bridge, also lay down in the bomb crater that had just been blown up on the opposite side of the wooden bridge, and the officers of the Imperial Association Army who were squatting beside the white leper immediately jumped up, opened their voices and shouted: "Go up another platoon!" Rushing up after following the Japanese......"

Most of the soldiers in the Imperial Association Army were bandits, and before they took refuge in the Japanese, they had already practiced the kung fu of adding fuel to the wind and sliding against the water to the realm of perfection. Seeing that two Japanese soldiers and a few companions had already rushed across the wooden bridge, some of the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance who were squatting near the head of the wooden bridge all jumped up and rushed towards the wooden bridge with a chaotic shout, but in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people rushed across the wooden bridge!

But at this moment, from the woods that had been blown up by grenades, the dull sound of machine-gun fire that sounded like the roar of a golden drum rang out violently. I don't know which veteran who joined the Imperial Association Army, and when he heard it, he immediately tore his throat and shouted: "It's Makqin...... There's a Maxim heavy machine gun on the other side......"

The sound of gunfire was in my ears, and even more so with the shouting of the old soldier, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who had just rushed to a wooden bridge were suddenly in chaos. A few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who rushed in front saw that there was no way back, so they simply gritted their teeth and closed their eyes and rushed towards the opposite side of a wooden bridge, only to jump off a wooden bridge and hurriedly lay on the ground with their heads in their hands. The other soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, who had just stepped on a wooden bridge, turned around without hesitation and plunged headlong into the place where they were hiding. Only a few soldiers of the Imperial Association who happened to walk to the center of a wooden bridge were all frightened by the sudden sound of Makqin heavy machine gun fire, so they could only lie on the wooden bridge, holding the thick tree trunk with both hands and shuddering......

The smoke of gunpowder blown up by the grenade obscured his vision, and Taro Fukai, who was observing the movement on the battlefield behind a big tree, also suddenly fell down when the gunfire of the Makqin heavy machine gun rang out, but his heart suddenly muttered?

Even on the frontal battlefield of the invasion of China, the Chinese army was equipped with very few machine guns. On a combat front line hundreds of meters long, it is sometimes difficult to even have a light machine gun. And those heavy machine guns that are regarded as treasures by the Chinese army are even rarer, and when they are fired, they usually fire a few shuttle bullets when the position is about to be breached......

Since when will even the bandits in Tieping Mountain be able to fight with Makqin heavy machine guns?

And even their strafing, which did not stop from the very beginning? In just a few moments of effort, at least a few hundred rounds of ammunition will be consumed, right?!

And the gunshot......

Although it does sound like the heavy copper sound of the Maxim heavy machine gun fire, but it is mixed with some crisp echoes when it is heard?

And after fighting for so long, why did you not hear the sound of the bullet hitting a stone or tree at all? Maybe...... The screams and cries of those Imperial Concordant soldiers after they were hit?!

Jumping up suddenly, Taro Fukai almost roared and roared: "It's a lie!" Those bandits don't have heavy machine guns at all, assault! All soldiers assault at once! ”

Although he was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, He Luoya, who was terrified, still subconsciously translated Taro Fukai's roar into Chinese, and shouted out in a sharp voice. But before the Japanese soldiers who had already followed Taro Fukai's order to charge rushed out a few steps, let alone those frightened Imperial Alliance soldiers who hesitated to get out of their hideouts, accompanied by a sharp gunshot, a bang had already come from under a wooden bridge!

At the beginning of the explosion, the trunk of the tree that was hugged by the two of them was suddenly blown into the air and flew into the air, breaking into two pieces in mid-air. A few soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were lying on a wooden bridge with tree trunks screamed and were thrown into the air by the explosion, and their broken torsos and limbs flew in all directions, mixed with the wreckage of the tree trunks flying in the sky, and fell like a rain of blood.

As the wooden bridge that was blown in two fell towards the cliff, several soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who had just jumped off the wooden bridge were also affected by the air wave of the explosion, and they were shocked to the point that they opened their mouths and spat blood, seeing that they would not live long. Even the soldiers of the Imperial Concordia Army, who had already found their hiding place, were dizzy from the explosion, and their hands and feet were limp on the ground.

Sato and Kubota, who were hiding side by side in the crater, were not spared, and the standard combat posture of chest and abdomen close to the ground and according to the gun alert made them have no resistance to the shock caused by the sudden explosion.

In the smoke of gunpowder and the sound of explosions echoing in the mountains, several figures dressed in brown clothes, like ghosts that have existed in the mountains and forests since ancient times, quietly rushed to the side of the Japanese soldiers and the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were stunned by the explosion, and neatly put the rope noose made of rattan around their necks. It was just a blink of an eye, and the Japanese soldiers and the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army who were in a semi-fainting state were all dragged and hidden behind the gunsmoke, and they never made the slightest movement......

With a sad face, He Luoya almost groaned and shouted at the stunned Fukai Taro: "Your Excellency Fukai...... A wooden bridge was destroyed...... We can't get by...... Tujia Village, there are really bandits......"

didn't hear the loopholes in He Luoya's words at all, Fukai Taro grabbed He Luoya's neckline, lifted He Luoya's feet off the ground, and yelled at He Luoya: "Is there any other way to Tujia Village?!" The Imperial Army's Crusade ...... No failure is allowed! ”

"It's really gone...... A wooden bridge was destroyed, and if you want to go to Tujia Village, you can only take another mountain road...... Starting from the county seat, you have to walk for more than a day....... Your Excellency Shenjing, shall we withdraw? When we came out of the county seat, there were almost more than 200 people and guns, and we were almost half lost...... Even if you want to conquer Tujia Village again, you have to go back to the county seat to move troops first......"
