Chapter 227: Fierce Battle on the Financial Street

Even if the Japanese army reacted quickly, it would take a lot of time from assembling to going to the place of engagement. The Marine Corps building, which itself is a barracks, naturally there are not many troops stationed nearby, and there is no need to station too many troops.

In the event of an emergency, the troops stationed in the building alone can deal with it. But no one expected that in the face of the surprise attack planned by Hu Biao tonight, this strong Marine Corps would be extremely aggrieved, and even extremely embarrassed.

Seven mortars poured hundreds of mortar shells into the building, and three mortars that fired special ammunition also dumped six boxes of special ammunition into the building. Around the center of the building, there is a thick smoke at the moment.

Although the officers and men of the Marine Corps were very brave, in the face of the long-range fire blockade of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, there were few imps who could rush out of the building. Before they could rush to the artillery position, they were intercepted by the troops responsible for blocking the attack.

Until the end of the five or six minutes of shelling, although he felt a little pity, Chen Qiang still said very resolutely: "Set up tricks, blow up these mortars, and start retreating according to the predetermined route!" ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

The rest of the artillerymen did not say anything, according to the previous division of labor, someone laid a mine near the position, someone threw grenades into the hot barrels. With the sound of explosions coming from the barrels, these mortars can only be used as scrap metal.

As for those shell boxes, they were also piled up and poured with gasoline to ignite as they left. Although the shelling stopped, the blockade of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns did not stop, and the little devils blocking the building still could not get out.

Until they ran out of ammunition, the gunners and gunners were given the order to retreat at the same time. Without saying a word, everyone picked up the submachine guns and rifles that had been placed aside, and quickly slid down the rope from the upper floor. And on the roof of the building, there are also thunder traps.

As for the machine guns and machine guns, they were all destroyed without exception. Even if the little devils can capture them, these weapons will not be used. These machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, without exception, are all foreign brands, and there is no way to investigate them.

When the periphery of the Japanese army began to lay a cordon, looking at the three rows of subordinates who had reunited, Chen Qiang said without hesitation: "The seventh squad and I will lay out tricks and mines to delay the pursuit of the little devils, and the remaining two squads will alternately cover the retreat!" ”

During this period of following Hu Biao, Chen Qiang knew very well that every minute of this kind of raid was crucial. As a platoon commander, the lives of the soldiers in the whole platoon are tied to him, and Chen Qiang naturally needs to be cautious and careful to ensure the safety of the soldiers under his command.

Seeing that the gunfire finally stopped, the thousands of Japanese soldiers who were blocked in the Marine Corps building finally rushed out of the gate under the orders of their respective commanders, carefully stepping on the bodies of their killed comrades.

When the first squad finally rushed out of the gate, the general who blocked it quickly said: "Leave two squadrons on guard, and the rest of the troops must be sent out, and those attackers must not escape." I've got to know who those damn guys are! ”

The shelling of the office building of the Marine Corps was undoubtedly a provocation to the Japanese army. Since they were stationed in Shanghai, these little devils of the Marine Corps felt that they were more powerful than the Army. But tonight, he was blocked in the building and beaten.

If they can't eliminate the attackers, their faces will be disgraced. The most important thing is that the consuls and military attaches of all the countries on this side of the concession are here, and they will definitely know what happened tonight, and if they can't find the attacker, they will lose their face abroad!

As the Marines followed the squadron in small formations, they rushed towards the location of the attackers. Many little devils rushed to the front, and soon triggered the trickery set by Chen Qiang and others. The constant sound of explosions frightened the pursuing little devils.

"Yaga! What about the enemy? What the hell is going on? Why is there an explosion everywhere? ”

"Squadron leader, the enemy has laid traps in the alley and on the road, and many of our warriors have died!"

"What about the enemy? How can they get there in such a short time? Chase, don't stop, keep chasing! ”

Realizing that those tricks and thunders were used to slow down the pursuit, the little devil officer could only give the order to continue the pursuit regardless of casualties. It turned out that when they rushed to the artillery and machine-gun positions, they were still waiting for the sound of explosions.

"Damn it! Why is there an explosion everywhere? Where did these guys come from? ”

The shadow of the enemy was not seen, but in pursuit of them, people were constantly killed and wounded. The surrounding area around the Landing Corps building, where it is located, seems to be full of danger. At this time, Chen Qiang and the others quickly shuttled through the lanes.

Every time you leave an alley, the last person to pass through will lay a mine. In this way, when the little devil follows and pursues, the pursuit must also be stopped. After confirming that the danger has been eliminated, they can continue the pursuit.

At this moment, a short battle of resistance also started on the financial street, which once again attracted the attention of the whole city. Many Japanese troops in charge of reinforcements had to stop and look in the direction of Financial Street, where the sound of gunfire came.

The Japanese squadron stationed on Financial Street, led by two armored vehicles, quickly drove rapidly towards the location of the Zhengjin Bank. The spies who had already set up a blocking position on the roof of the street were also waiting for the second platoon.

Qin Tianyou, who was personally in charge of a machine gun, said to the deputy platoon commander beside him: "Do you see those two armored vehicles?" Wait a minute, we'll take care of these two armored vehicles, and the other machine gunners will focus on those infantry, remember? ”

"Remember!"

"Ready! Beat! ”

With Qin Tianyou shouting 'hit', two machine guns erected on tall buildings took the lead in firing at the Japanese troops who rushed to reinforce them. Huge machine cannonballs, like small meteors, smashed into the marching ranks.

Many little devils who were advancing with the armored car also immediately screamed: "Enemy attack! The enemy is on the rooftop! Oh my! What kind of weapon is that? How can you fight so far, fast, the team spreads out, looking for cover! ”

When the officer of the little devil gave the contingency order, he finally hit the machine shell of the armored car, but it penetrated the thin armor of the armored car very sharply. Looking at the armored vehicles that began to fall crookedly to the side, many little devils were dumbfounded.

"Yaga! It's a machine gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun! Damn, what kind of madman the hell? How did they get the weapons to the roof? Attack, attack from both sides, rush over, close the distance and they are dead! ”

Realizing that a machine gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun were set up on the roof of the building, the Japanese squadron leader, who had led the team to help, finally realized that the situation was beyond expectations. While sending people for help, he ordered to break through the blockade and escape from the range of fire.

However, the empty streets made it extremely difficult for the Japanese to surprise the Japanese army. Many little devils can only stick to the edge of the house on the side of the street, and cautiously rush forward. Not long after the march, he suddenly saw the sound of machine guns in front of him.

The light machine gunner lurking at the entrance of the alley said with a cold face: "I guessed that you would stick to the wall, but you can't hit it, and we are there!" This road is impassable, I want to rush over, and leave my life first! ”

At the same time, Hu Biao and others, who were lurking downstairs in the machine gun position, also began to use sniper rifles to shoot those little devils who came to reinforcements first. When the armored vehicle was blown up, Hu Biao summoned the submachine gun squad to assemble.

Pointing to the location of the little devil, Hu Biao quickly said: "Do you see where the little devil is hiding?" When the machine guns stop firing, you are ready to counter-charge. When the time comes, the little devil will definitely launch a charge, and after entering the 100 meters, he will shoot! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"Go get ready!"

As Hu Biao guessed, the surviving little devils who were blocked on the street and could only lie on the ground. It wasn't until the machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the roof stopped firing that they dared to get up from the ground, but they still looked terrified.

When a little devil stood up and continued to move forward to probe, he found that the gun on the roof of the building finally stopped sounding. The captain of the Japanese squadron, who still survived, immediately realized that the people upstairs were about to run away, and the ammunition they were carrying had been exhausted by the previous heavy shooting.

"The enemy is ready to flee, everyone rush me! Rush downstairs to melee and destroy them! ”

Hearing the combat order given by the squadron leader, the little devil who had survived the previous fierce shooting also launched a charge with his gun as soon as possible. After rushing for a while, they found that the gunfire from upstairs had really stopped.

When I was happy in my heart, when I was less than 100 meters away from the building where the blocking position was set up, the submachine gun team that had been waiting for a long time looked at the little devil who was getting closer and closer, and the team leader also said: "Ready!" Beat! ”

The submachine gunner, who had always been lying on the ground, was soon half-crouched on the street under the order of the squad leader. The firepower network formed by more than a dozen submachine guns cried wolf to the little devils who were charging.

And the submachine gun squad also held their guns and launched a counter-charge against the oncoming little devils. After running out of bullets, he quickly took out the grenade he was carrying and threw it towards the location where the little devil was, blowing up the little devil and retreating.

Just when some little devils thought that these submachine gunners had exhausted the bullets in their guns, the submachine gunners who had thrown the grenades threw the submachine guns on their backs, quickly pulled out the box guns inserted in their waists, and began to shoot those surviving little devils at close range.

When the submachine gun squad rushed through the street of dead bodies, the Japanese squadron that had rushed to reinforce it could no longer see a few alive. Knowing that the time was pressing, the squad leader in charge of the command immediately said: "Stop moving forward and retreat!" ”

After the submachine gun squad that immediately turned around and ran back converged with the sniper squad commanded by Hu Biao, the second platoon commanded by Qin Tianyou had safely slipped down from the upper floor where the blocking position was set up. Under Hu Biao's strict order, he began to embark on the road of retreat.

Looking at the returning submachine gun team, Hu Biao also said quickly: "Keep up with the team and withdraw!" After merging with the second row, remember to set up a trick mine. I'll lead the sniper squad and distract the little devils. Don't be stunned, retreat! ”

"Yes, Captain, take care!"

Seeing off the last team to leave the battlefield, Hu Biao chose to leave through another street. In the process of evacuation, Hu Biao deliberately asked the team members to shoot and throw grenades, creating a movement to attract the attention of the little devil.

The little devil who rushed to support after hearing the news, without seeing where the attackers were, involuntarily walked towards the place where the gunshots and explosions came from. And this is exactly what Hu Biao wants to see, all that remains is to lead the team to get rid of the pursuers!
