Chapter 133: The Japanese Counterattack 3
In the glow of flares, the dark green helmets above their heads reflected the light.
At this time, in the buildings facing the street, behind the windows of each second and first floor, the soldiers of the third battalion hidden behind the windows clenched the flower traps in their hands.
Many of them had just received the flower mechanism not long ago. Some haven't even actually fired a gun.
The Japanese charging soldiers got closer and closer, and when they reached a range of about ten meters, the soldiers of the third battalion, who were hiding behind the windows, immediately stood up from behind the windowsill.
The flower traps in their hands were all held in front of them at this time, aimed at the Japanese infantry who rushed over.
"Fire !!"
"Da !!"
Because when fighting in the streets, the streets are narrow, and they are no better than fighting in the open field. This made the Japanese charging infantry very densely formed.
And under the intensive fire of the submachine guns, such a crowded formation, at such a close distance, it was almost like a queue to die.
Those Japanese soldiers were mentally prepared for the enemy to hide behind the window, but what they didn't expect was that the soldiers hiding behind the window were holding fierce flower traps in their hands.
In the midst of the gunfire like bursting beans, the Japanese soldiers who successfully came in front were knocked to the ground by the dense submachine gun bullets in a blink of an eye.
A large number of Japanese soldiers fell on the street, and the road more than ten meters wide was paved with the corpses of Japanese soldiers in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, the heavy machine-gun fire that had just shifted from the top of the roof to the window sill downstairs also began to roar.
In the blink of an eye, the entire street was dyed blood-red.
"Petrol bombs!!" Wang Daliu roared, and the soldiers hiding behind the windows immediately ignited the napalm and threw it directly into the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
"Boom!!"
The moment the glass bottle shattered, the burning napalm splattered on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. The entire street was immediately set ablaze by napalm, and a large number of Japanese corpses and wounded soldiers became the targets of napalm burning.
These Japanese soldiers had no choice but to retreat. But the wounded Japanese soldiers who lost their ability to move could not escape at all.
The moment the napalm exploded, the flames engulfed them in an instant.
And these wounded Japanese soldiers could only roll wildly in the streets, but they could not extinguish the flames at all.
The flames burned through his clothes and through their skin. The howls of ghosts echoed through the streets, even drowning out the roar of machine guns.
Sasaki Hayakawa immediately shouted at this time: "The flanks attack immediately!" Maintain the intensity of the attack on the front and do not give the enemy a chance to breathe. ”
He gave the order, and the two squadrons of the Japanese army, which had been waiting for the opportunity on the flank, immediately rushed out of the alley quietly.
There were no flares to illuminate them, and in the dark night, they could only faintly hear the dense footsteps coming from inside the alley, but they could not see the traces of these Japanese soldiers.
They chose to flank from the flanks of the block and use the night as their cover, tactically nothing wrong at all.
It's just that they didn't expect that their whereabouts had already been captured by Nameless using infrared night vision devices. The soldiers of the guard platoon and the ninth company were also in the defensive positions on the flanks, ready to meet the enemy.
Even if the battle on the frontal position was very fierce, these soldiers stationed on the flank position were not transferred by Qin Chuan, but kept guarding the flank, so that the Japanese could not find a flaw here.
Rokuko hid inside the house, and when he heard the footsteps outside, he knew that it was the Japanese army hiding on the flanks who had arrived.
"Flares!!" He immediately shouted.
As soon as the voice on his side fell, the soldiers on the rooftop immediately raised the flare gun in their hands and fired the flare directly into the air.
The moment the flares rose into the air, the Japanese infantry, who had been operating by night, were suddenly exposed to the light.
These Japanese soldiers subconsciously looked up at the flares rising in the sky, and the squadron leader immediately shouted: "Keep going!!" ”
But as soon as his voice fell, he hid behind the window and the heavy machine-gun fire on the rooftop, and began to strafe them.
These Japanese soldiers rushed forward despite the fire of the heavy machine guns, but after running out of a distance of less than ten meters, they were forced back into the alley.
Because the streets were narrow, there was only one area where they could charge. The three Japanese heavy machine guns captured by the guard platoon directly held the two street intersections on the flank, making it impossible for the Japanese infantry to move forward.
"Get around the roof!!" The squadron leader of the Japanese on the flank shouted.
When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they climbed to the roof. The houses here are relatively close to each other, and in many places you can jump from one roof to another.
However, as soon as the Japanese troops reached the roof, they found that the roof on the opposite side had also been occupied by the guard platoon and the men of the Ninth Company.
Three light machine guns, as well as more than a dozen flower traps, were directly aimed at them for strafing.
The Japanese soldiers who had just rushed to the top of the roof were immediately knocked down in large areas. The remaining more than a dozen Japanese soldiers could only lie on the rooftop, not even daring to show their heads, so they could only poke out the rifles in their hands and shoot in a general direction.
Pushing on the roof immediately came to a standstill.
The entire flank of Taihe Street, whether it was the street below or the rooftop, had been blocked by the all-round fire of the Third Battalion. With the strength of a squadron alone, they simply can't break through here.
On the other side, the squadron of the Japanese army, suffered the same situation.
The Ninth Company stationed there, using flower traps and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, built a dense network of firepower. Let those Japanese soldiers simply not be able to push forward.
After waiting in the rear for more than ten minutes, Sasaki Hayakawa received news from both wings.
It is said that the enemy has already had complete fortifications on the flank, and the firepower is very fierce, they paid for dozens of lives, but they were unable to break through the enemy's flank defense at all.
Hearing this, Sasaki Hayakawa knew that their counterattack was basically a failure.
Because there was no breakthrough from the front or the flank, they had to think of other ways to recapture Taihe Street if they wanted to recapture Taihe Street.
