Chapter 25: Successful Victory (Part I)
Zhou Weihan heard Lin Rui say this, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt reasonable, so he no longer objected, and followed Lin Rui to lead people to gallop away in the direction of the Japanese headquarters.
When I was about to arrive near the Japanese headquarters, there was a sudden chaos and urgency in front. The sound of footsteps.
Lin Rui stopped for the first time, and with a gun in one hand and raised the other hand to signal the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company behind him to stop advancing.
Under the command of him and Zhou Weihan, the officers and men of the Eighth Company quickly stopped, and under the cover of night, scattered and hid in the buildings on both sides of the street.
Lin Rui, Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng and a group of soldiers hid in the door of a shop on the right side of the street with half of the roof blown down, relying on the ruins at the door of the shop to hide.
As the distance approached, Lin Rui found that it was none other than the little devils who came up on the street in front of him, and they were about the size of a squad with torches.
The two sides were already less than thirty meters apart at that time, and they were about to meet head-on, even if they wanted to retreat, it was too late.
Lin Rui decisively raised his pistol, raised his hand and shot a devil with a torch in the front, and at the same time shouted: "Fire me!" Hit hard! ”
Bang! Bang! Da-da-da-da! Sudden Sudden Rush!
Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng, and more than 250 officers and men of the Eighth Company opened fire one after another from both sides of the street.
Suddenly, dazzling firelight bloomed everywhere in the dark night, and a dense rain of bullets composed of dazzling tongues of fire roared towards the devils in front of them.
Lin Rui's judgment was right, it was indeed the Japanese army who came, and the strength of a small team was the garrison of the Japanese Jiangwan Command.
Their task was to go forward to reinforce their forward troops, because the devils at that time were attacked from behind by the other four companies of the Tax Police Corps.
In addition, the 88th Division and the 22nd Independent Brigade of the National Army also launched an attack from the front in a timely manner, and they were in a state of being attacked from the back.
There are nearly 1,000 people in these four companies of the Tax Police Corps, and although the signal flare caused them to expose their whereabouts in advance, there is not much time left for the devils to react.
Because it was not clear in the dark that the Chinese army was not clear about the reality of the Chinese army, and the attack came from the rear of their own defense line, this was very shocking to the devils.
Therefore, the devils on the front urgently asked their headquarters for help.
Because the Japanese army was in Shanghai at that time, a total of more than 4,000 people had only been mobilized, and after two days of fierce fighting, it had been sharply reduced to more than 3,000 people, and the strength was in a state of serious shortage.
Therefore, the headquarters of the Japanese army on Jiangwan Road, at that time, only one infantry squadron was used as a guard, after receiving a request for help from the forward troops.
The Japanese commander who was sitting at the Jiangwan Command, in a hurry, immediately dispatched three infantry squads to support each key point in the forward position.
In the eyes of the Japanese command, if its outer defense line was lost, the headquarters would inevitably be unprotected.
Therefore, they transferred almost all the last troops in their hands, leaving only an infantry squad by their side to serve as a guard.
The Devil's Command never expected that at this time, there would be a Chinese night attack force that ventured towards their headquarters.
Unexpectedly, a team they sent out directly collided with this night attack force.
As mentioned before, the weaponry and training level of the Tax Police Corps were the most outstanding in the entire battle sequence of the national army at that time.
And there were more than 250 people in the Eighth Company, which was four or five times as many as the devils, and it was still an unexpected ambush.
Therefore, the fifty or sixty devils of this squad did not even have a chance to fight back.
was killed by Lin Rui and the officers and soldiers, and a wave of charges.
Lin Rui took a Mauser pistol, almost anywhere at such a close distance, and after the twenty rounds of magazines were all gone, the number of people who died under his gun had reached twenty.
In other words, Lin Rui shot one-third of the Japanese squad with one shot.
From the encounter to the engagement, it took less than five minutes.
After the regiment wiped out this devil squad, Lin Rui trampled a dying devil wounded soldier on the ground to death with one kick, and turned his head to the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company who had already killed the red-eyed officers and soldiers and shouted: "Brothers, the devil headquarters is in front, and we have succeeded in doing this in one fell swoop!" Rush up with me and kill them! ”
"Rush! Kill! Zhou Weihan, Lin Rui and several other platoon commanders took the lead in roaring, leading more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company to rush forward behind Lin Rui.
At this time, it was already very close to the Japanese headquarters, so naturally there was no need to hide traces.
Of course, he wanted to rush over in one go, Lin Rui took the lead in rushing to the front, charging while changing the magazine of his pistol.
This was the first time he had traveled to this time and space, leading the troops to charge, feeling the unison shouts of the soldiers of the Eighth Company behind him, and he felt that the blood in his body was boiling.
The long-lost sense of being on the verge of life and death, and the familiarity on the battlefield of beacon fire, arises spontaneously.
Lin Rui's judgment was accurate, they rushed forward less than 200 meters, and then they found the devil headquarters, the Japanese headquarters at that time should have received the news, so the infantry squad left behind all entered an emergency combat state, fully armed in the fortifications at the gate of the headquarters compound, waiting for the battle.
Seeing this scene, Lin Rui immediately raised his gun and opened fire to shoot at the leader.
At the same time, he roared angrily: "Give me concentrated firepower and hit hard!" ”
Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng, and more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company all opened fire one after another.
For a time, the gunfire was loud and the tongue of fire was raging! Countless hot bullets whistled and flew towards the Japanese troops.
And the devils, relying on the fortifications at the gate of the headquarters compound, are also firing back frantically.
The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire on the streets of Jiangwan Road, and the tongues of fire formed by countless bullets whistled back and forth like meteors.
Zhou Weihan was also holding a pistol, but when he was a light machine gunner on his side, he was unfortunately killed by the devil in the battle.
He immediately put away the pistol, ran over to pick up the Czech light machine gun, held it in his hand and shouted: "Little devil, I'll grass your grandma!" Suffer death! ”
With that, the trigger was pulled, and the Czech light machine gun suddenly began to roar again.
A dazzling tongue of fire roared out, turning into a dense stream of hot bullets and pouring down towards the Japanese army.
Although Lin Rui saw that although the number of devils was small, he had two Type 92 heavy machine guns and several crooked light machine guns, relying on the fortifications outside the headquarters to form a dense network of crossfire.
Blocked the attack of the Eighth Company, causing many of his own soldiers who wanted to rush forward to fall in a pool of blood.
Immediately, he picked up a Mauser 98K rifle from a soldier, quickly pulled the bolt and raised the gun to aim at one of the Japanese heavy machine gunners, and opened fire decisively!
