Chapter Ninety-Four: The Japanese Onslaught
Although Qinchuan's three battalions have been replenished several times, their strength is only about 500 people so far. If a wing of Nagagawa George on the opposite side kept attacking Ping'an Street, then his soldiers would definitely be exhausted from long-term fighting, which would eventually lead to the loss of Ping'an Street.
"The little devil is here again, but there are no tanks, only the infantry." Fang Yunfei, who had excellent ear strength, tilted his ears sideways and listened to the sound of the Japanese army marching in the block ahead.
At this time, gunshots rang out, but it was not their Ping'an Street. Several neighborhoods in the surrounding area were also within the scope of the Japanese attack at this time.
Matsui Ishine has finally figured it out now, and he can no longer be obsessed with fighting for a safe street. Instead, a full-scale offensive began. He didn't believe that the commanders and soldiers in other neighborhoods could fight just as well as the three battalions in Qinchuan.
"Bang!!"
A gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldiers, who had discovered the target first, fired the first shot at a soldier of the 3rd Battalion who was outcropping and reconnoitring.
The shot hit the third battalion soldier in the head with unmistakable accuracy, and the bullet pierced the German helmet he was wearing, piercing his entire head.
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion on the entire Ping'an Street position, hidden in the dilapidated buildings, and behind the trench position, immediately began to shoot fiercely at the advancing Japanese troops.
The soldiers of the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army did not advance very quickly, but they were more orderly.
Their detachments alternated fire cover and then walked bugly through the streets and ruins with their waists down.
Light machine guns, heavy machine guns in the rear, and mortars were all used by the Japanese to attack the position of Ping'an Street at this time.
Qin Chuan said: "Chen Chen, how are your tanks prepared?" ”
Chen Chen picked up the walkie-talkie that Qin Chuan gave him, sat in the tank and replied confidently: "As long as you give an order, our tank car will be able to run over the corpse of the little devil." ”
"Wait for my order to attack."
After saying this, Qin Chuan used the sniper rifle in his hand to aim at a Japanese soldier who was manipulating the grenadier and planning to bombard the position on Ping'an Street, and decisively pulled the trigger.
With the huge impact of the bullet, the Japanese soldier's body flew directly backwards, and there was a huge blood hole on his body pierced by the bullet.
The commander of the Japanese army on the front line, Kazuki Edogawa, peeked out from behind a ruined and broken wall and observed the fire point on Heian Street at this time.
He quickly marked the map, and then immediately said: "Order the mortars and grenadiers, start a concentrated attack on these firing points, we will tear a gap in the enemy's position, and then attack their flank." ”
With his order, seven or eight mortars of the Japanese army, as well as more than a dozen grenadiers, began to bombard one place with concentrated firepower!
"Boom !!" "Boom !!"
More than a dozen grenades fired by Japanese grenadiers and mortars landed on the positions of the third battalion, and the loud sound echoed on the battlefield.
The three battalion's machine-gun positions in that area were hit, and the machine gunner and sub-shooter were blown away. The sudden concentrated fire bombardment of the Japanese army caught the soldiers on this position a little off guard.
Most of the more than a dozen soldiers of the Third Battalion stationed in that defensive line were killed and injured by the accurate and ruthless mortar shells fired by the Japanese army.
Less than thirty meters wide, there were severed arms and legs, as well as bloody corpses.
"Bunny give!!" The commander of the Japanese army seized the moment when the machine gun was silent, and then waved the command knife in his hand, allowing dozens of soldiers under him to quickly move forward.
The seven or eight soldiers of the third battalion who remained on this position could not pose much of a threat to them. Covered by the fire of machine guns and mortars in the rear, these Japanese troops quickly rushed towards the gap.
Fang Yunlong looked at the Japanese soldiers who were charging over, and began to quickly wrap the grenades in the ammunition box with the bandages on the leggings.
Seven or eight wooden-handled grenades were bundled together to form a cluster grenade.
Fang Yunlong connected the strings of the wooden-handled grenade with a rope, and then observed the distance of the Japanese army at this time through the gap between the sandbags.
When the Japanese army charged less than 20 meters away, he directly pulled the line of the cluster grenade away and threw it at the Japanese army.
"Boom !!"
A loud noise came, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately blown into pieces of minced meat by the more powerful cluster grenades.
The Japanese soldiers in the rear saw this scene and lay on the ground one after another.
On this position, several squad leaders had already died, and only Fang Yunlong and a few other recruits remained.
"Grenade!!" The commander of the detachment of the Japanese army shouted.
Several Japanese soldiers took out a few grenades directly from their waists and threw them at the trench where Fang Yunlong was hiding.
These little devils were well-trained, and their grenades were thrown very accurately, and basically all the grenades were thrown into the trench where Fang Yunlong and the others were.
Seeing the grenade that fell into the trench, Fang Yunlong immediately shouted, "Grenade!" ”
He then picked up one of the grenades and threw it at the position.
Several other soldiers immediately picked up the grenades and threw them in the direction of the Japanese troops.
Fang Yunlong and another soldier successfully threw the grenade. But the other two soldiers weren't as lucky.
The two grenades they picked up were thrown by two Japanese veterans, and they were deliberately delayed before they were thrown here.
As a result, when the two soldiers picked it up, the grenade exploded directly before they could completely throw it out.
There was a loud bang, and the upper body of a soldier was directly shredded by a grenade. The entire arm was shattered by the bomb, and the explosive grenade killing fragments were even more lethal at such a close distance, exerting its lethality to the extreme.
The shrapnel flew and sliced the soldier's throat open, and even the soldier's heart and lungs were hit by the shrapnel.
Another soldier had just picked up a grenade when it exploded. The huge shockwave blasted him three meters away, and then slammed into the outside of the position.
The high temperature and shrenchnel from the explosion made the soldier unrecognizable, and he could hardly find a good piece of meat on his body.
"Holy shit!!" Fang Yunlong roared angrily, and the medium rifle in his hand shot continuously at a Japanese soldier who was trying to rush over through the shooting hole of the sandbag.
"Click! Bang!! ”。
Fang Yunlong pulled the bolt of the gun, and then kept shooting the two Japanese soldiers. The other two soldiers who survived also began to shoot wildly, with a fury of revenge for their comrades.
But the Japanese had already discovered that there were only three or four people on their side, so they began to roar and launch a collective charge.
