Chapter 117: An hour and a half.

South of Hanjiagou, on the blocking position of the Seventh Company of the Pioneer Regiment.

Although separated by the mountains, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield to the north was faintly heard. The smoke of war drifted into the sky with the south wind, as if it was a gray mist, constantly devouring fresh life.

Zhao Shixun stared at the gloom in the sky for a while, calmly took out the last Hardman point for himself, and took a deep breath.

The cigarettes he had captured before the puppet army had long been smoked, and this box of Hardmen was quietly stuffed to him by the old immortal before the battle began.

As for how the smoke came from, the old immortal didn't say, and Zhao Shixun didn't bother to ask. In this era when your head is pinned to the waistband of your pants, there are not many brothers who can satisfy your little desires before you die.

"Sir, bring me one."

Glancing at the big pillar with a grin, Zhao Shixun casually threw the cigarette case directly over.

"Half of it is yours."

"Hey, then I'll thank the company commander first. The old immortal is really killed, I can't bear to ask him to buy me a box of cigarettes, this old man is still open to you, sir! ”

Smiling slightly, Zhao Shixun did not speak, but continued to smoke by himself.

After carefully taking out five cigarettes, the big pillar gently threw the cigarette case back, and then couldn't wait to light one.

One puff after another, and within a few strokes a cigarette burned out. After smoking three cigarettes in a row, the big pillar didn't stop until he started coughing.

"Huhu...... what a smoke."

"Pillar, you kid is too nervous."

Looking at the life and death brothers in front of him, Zhao Shixun gently spit out a smoke ring and said lightly.

"Hehe...... made you laugh. I don't know what's going on today, but my eyelids are jumping so much. ”

Da Zhu smiled embarrassedly and touched his eyes and said.

"When we were in the national army before, there were many people bullying people when we fought with devils, but this time our strength is really a little thin, and I understand your worries."

Hearing this, he glanced at Zhao Shixun deeply, and the big pillar nodded slightly and sighed and said:

"Thank you company commander for your understanding. You know, we're not the kind of eggless cowards, but we're not the eggs of newborn calves who aren't afraid of tigers. Over the years, I feel that this battle is more and more fought, and people are getting less and less courageous, and I don't know what's wrong. ”

Gently extinguishing the cigarette butt, Zhao Shixun stood up and looked at the distant gunsmoke with his glasses for a while, and said lightly after a while:

"It's all the same, escaping from Lord Yama again and again, even those who don't care know that it's not easy to live. The more hard your life is, the more you will cherish your life. ”

The big pillar didn't speak, but leaned back against the trench with his eyes down, quietly sucking the last two hardmen into his lungs.

Comfortably exhaling the last breath of smoke, feeling the roar coming from the valley, the big pillar quickly stood up and looked at Zhao Shixun, and quickly loaded the Czech machine gun in his hand.

"Sir, the devil will be there when he speaks."

"Well...... the gunfire from the north is almost stopping. The battle has been going on for more than an hour, and it's time to decide the winner. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"From now on, we have to stick to it for at least an hour and 30 minutes. Let the brothers calm down, wait for the devil's army vehicle to hit the mine before fighting, and first use bullets to give the devil a pot of hot drink. ”

"You just look at it, company commander!"

……

Miyazawa sat in the bed of a bumpy military truck, looking at the pocket watch in his hand over and over again.

More than an hour ago, the headquarters made a sudden call to his station, and it was from His Excellency the brigade commander himself.

On the phone, the brigade commander told Miyazawa that either the paramedics from the surrounded convoy would be freed, or he would cut his stomach to thank the emperor!

It turned out that there was a Japanese military doctor in the convoy who was the only son of a staff officer of the Japanese army's top brass. The status of staff officers in the Japanese army is extremely high, and it can be said that they are the backbone of the Japanese army. If this mission fails, then Miyazawa's own promotion career will basically end here.

When the chariot of the 3rd Panzer Detachment accompanying the transport team sent an emergency distress signal, the Japanese immediately ordered the nearest Hengqu County garrison to immediately go north to meet it.

Since Hengqu County was garrisoned by Japanese military convoys, there were plenty of means of transportation. After Miyazawa quickly gathered his troops, he immediately sent the soldiers of his squadron north along the road in seven trucks.

On the road, seven Japanese-style trucks are speeding almost at maximum speed. Due to the severe bumps on the road, the Japanese soldiers on the car had to hold on to the railing of the carriage desperately, for fear of being thrown off the car in the bumps.

Suddenly, the faint sound of gunfire and explosions came, causing Miyazawa Teng, who was sitting there, to stand up suddenly.

Miyazawa's truck was in the middle of the convoy, but he could still see the smoke rising from behind the mountains.

Bell ......

"Speed up! The enemy is besieging our convoy, speed up! ”

Slapping the iron plate on the top of the cab fiercely, Miyazawa opened his throat and roared.

……

Boom......

Boom......

Chirping.......

Da Da Da ...... Bang bang!

Not long after, with two loud bangs in a row, the first truck led by it suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell directly into the smoke screen on the side of the road under the huge inertia.

"There are enemies! Get off and fight! ”

"Highlands on both sides, five generations...... Five dynasties! ”

In the dry air, the trajectory of four light machine guns swept over the three military vehicles led by them like a whirlwind, sending the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers who had no time to dodge on them.

Dense rifle bullets came in bursts, knocking over many Japanese soldiers who had just jumped out of the car to the ground.

However, due to the small number of the Seventh Company, after inflicting more than 30 casualties on the Japanese army in a short period of confusion, the effect of the next blow was immediately reduced.

And the Japanese army, organized by the officers, immediately began to counterattack fiercely.

The sudden explosion and gunfire really startled Miyazawa, and he once thought that he had entered the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army, and he had even started a silent prayer in his heart.

But when he jumped out of the car and observed for a few minutes, he immediately looked angry.

"Bageya Road, it is actually a small force of the Eighth Route Army that wants to use the minefield to block itself."

"Captain Big Ben!"

"Here!"

Looking at the first squad leader Omoto Motochen, whose forehead was still bleeding, Miyazawa roared in a deep voice:

"Your squad was the most damaged, and you took people to stay on the road to cover the fire and rescue the wounded by the way! Let your grenadiers bombard the eastern heights for me! ”

"Hey!"

"Captain Thousand Islands!"

"Here!"

"You leave half of your men to be responsible for pinning down the enemy on the high ground on the western side, and the rest are all sent to Yokoda!."

"Hey!"

"Yokoda-kun!"

"Here!"

"You take your third squad and the Kuril Islands to support your forces, and take the eastern high ground for me in twenty minutes. Do you understand! ”

"Hey! Team 3, follow me! ”

……

Soon, with the mobilization of the Japanese army, a grenade fired from grenadiers immediately smashed towards Zhao Shixun and them.

Boom...... Boom

The grenadiers of the little devils are all veterans with many years of combat experience, so the hand artillery is accurate and ruthless.

If it weren't for Zhao Shixun, they would have been prepared a long time ago, and the trenches would have been dug very deep and tortuous. This array of hand cannons alone was enough for Zhao Shixun and them to drink a pot.

Having said that, casualties are inevitable. After the short bombardment was over, Zhao Shixun still asked with a smell of blood.

Without caring about checking the casualties, Zhao Shixun raised his head slightly and looked down, and immediately shouted:

"The devil has touched it, and the troops are two squads, ready to fight! Everybody steady. Hit it again when you get closer! ”

At this time, not only Zhao Shixun and his side, but also the high ground on the west side was also bombarded by sporadic hand artillery, but the Japanese army obviously did not attack from here, but they just didn't want the enemy on the west high ground to threaten them to attack the east high ground.

As the Japanese approached within fifty meters, Zhao Shixun aimed at a devil machine gunner and quickly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The Devil Gunner fell to the ground......

"Hit!"

After a rain of bullets, the Japanese army was immediately knocked over seven or eight people, and the remaining devils howled and fell to the ground, and the crooked handles and three or eight large cover bullets immediately swept over.

In the face of the fire of the devil's light machine gun, Zhao Shixun and their counterattack were very difficult. There was not much ammunition on their side, and the machine guns did not dare to fight more at all, so they could only occasionally fire a few short shots to suppress the Japanese troops.

The two squads approached thirty Japanese soldiers and immediately suppressed Zhao Shixun and them in terms of firepower. The only advantage is that Zhao Shixun is at a high place, and it is difficult for the Japanese army to attack on the back, and it is difficult to exert firepower.

This time, all the Eighth Route Army in the first position were assigned captured steel helmets by Zhao Shixun, in order to reduce casualties in the confrontation with the Japanese army.

With a steel helmet, the effect is obvious. Many warriors' steel helmets were hit with a few deep scratches, but they were lucky to save a small life.

Yokoda was furious when he saw that his troops were being held back at the foot of the mountain.

"Yaga! Except for the machine gunners, stand up and pound me! ”

"Toast give!"

Hearing the squad leader's order, twenty Japanese soldiers immediately stood up and howled and charged towards the position on the mountainside.

Puff puff......

He lowered his head sharply to dodge a burst of bullets and shook off the dust on his face. Zhao Shixun grabbed a grenade with his right hand that had already been released.

"Everyone's hidden! Grenade ready! ”

As soon as the words fell, several muffled explosions were heard at the foot of the mountain, and the attacking Japanese troops were immediately turned on their backs.

A few of the 97-style grenades exploded!

"Grenades are waiting!"

With Zhao Shixun's roar, nearly twenty border grenades were thrown out.

A burst of smoke exploded into the air, and the Japanese soldiers, who were blown up by the devils and howled wolves, ate a rain of grenades again.

With the explosion of the grenade, the devil's first attack was completely lost, and the wounded Yokota was dragged down by the surviving soldiers.

Behind a truck at the foot of the mountain, Miyazawa looked at Yokota with a bandage on his head with a dark face, and smashed the ground with a command knife.

"Shame! The loss of twenty Great Japanese soldiers was also beaten back by dozens of dirt roads, which is a shame! ”

"Hey! Squadron Leader Miyazawa, please give me another chance, if I can't take the position, I will never come back alive! ”

The triangular eyes stared at Yokota fiercely, and Miyazawa forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said fiercely:

"I'll give you another chance, until you charge, I will always let the grenadiers suppress the enemy on the mountain, you have to personally lead the soldiers and follow the artillery fire to rush to the enemy's position, understand!"

"Hey! His Majesty the Emperor on board ......"

To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
