Chapter 436: Bloody Battle at the Bridgehead

Finding that the bridge crossing was blocked, many Japanese soldiers who had just rushed to the river immediately dispersed to both sides of the bridgehead and set up light and heavy machine guns.

Da Da Da ......

With a banging sound, at least five or six crooked handles and crutch machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously, and immediately compiled a dense fire net above Yang Chenghu and his head, quickly suppressing the already weak counterattack firepower.

At the same time, as the flares fired by the two grenadiers rose into the sky, the banks of the pontoon bridge were suddenly illuminated as bright as day.

In the next moment, the fire net intertwined with light and heavy machine guns of the devils suddenly became several times more violent.

As the flares were replaced and fell, the Japanese grenadiers were called again, and the target was directly aimed at the machine gun fire point on the opposite bank.

Boom...... Boom......

In the dull sound of explosions, as clusters of reddish-brown flames continued to rise, the improvised fortifications thirty meters away from the river embankment were quickly torn apart by the violent air waves.

"Lying down...... Lie down ......! ”

Throwing away the machine gun, Xie Gouzi curled up in the trench as he tore his throat and yelled.

Faced with a salvo of at least six grenadiers, Xie Gouzi and the others were blown up almost instantly, powerless.

Seeing that the gunfire on the opposite bank was almost completely muffled by the sound of explosions, more than 30 Japanese soldiers, led by a devil squad leader, took the opportunity to rush onto the pontoon bridge with bayonets howling.

Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters .......

Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, the Japanese troops who poured onto the bridge did not encounter any strong resistance, and easily reached the west end of the pontoon bridge in a few breaths.

"Toast to ......!"

Looking at the land on the west bank in front of him, the Japanese squad leader held his command knife high and howled and ordered his men to start a assault.

However, just as the Japanese army was about to rush off the bridge, at a depth of seventy or eighty meters on the west bank, a hidden 92 heavy machine gun suddenly opened fire!

Sudden ...... Sudden Sudden Rush!

With the characteristic cries of pheasant necks, trajectory of tracer bullets pierced through the darkness, piercing the humid air, and then plunged into the crowd on the bridge deck.

In an instant, the 7.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets plowed a bloody path through the yellow figures that poured onto the pontoon.

Puff puff...... Puff puff......

With the muffled sound of bullets entering the flesh, the devils on the pontoon bridge were knocked down in pieces. And due to the narrowness of the bridge deck, the Japanese puppet army could not disperse the formation, and as a result, many bullets were like strings of sugar gourds, and they penetrated several times in a row before they stopped!

Puff ...... Puff ......

In the afterglow of the flares, one after another the devils either fell on the bridge and groaned, or were shot and fell into the rushing river and disappeared.

Gradually, in the midst of the flesh and blood, after the Japanese army filled in nearly 20 lives, the remaining devils finally couldn't bear the casualties, and escaped back by screaming in the darkness of returning.

……

Boom...... Boom......

While the Japanese were retreating, several grenades from grenadiers also flew across the river and smashed into the heavy machine-gun positions on the opposite bank.

Soon, the heavy machine gun, which had just fired less than a hundred rounds, also fell silent.

……

Boom......

As a flare flew into the sky again, Xie Gouzi, who had just come out of the dirt, suddenly felt a tightening.

Ignoring the possibility of being hit by the devils on the other side, he twisted himself and crawled out of the trench, and then crawled desperately towards the heavy machine gun position.

"Is there anything alive? Are there any alive? ”

While crawling, Xie Gouzi shouted anxiously. This heavy machine gun was specially left by Yang Chenghu before leaving, and it was also the only heavy firepower in Xie Gouzi's hand.

I don't know how long it took, but just when Xie Gouzi was about to climb to the position of the heavy machine gun position, a hoarse voice came.

"Brother Dog, we just hurt one, and everyone else is fine."

Hearing this, Xie Gouzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Struggling to climb into the bunker that was half blown up, and glancing at the 92 heavy machine gun that had been removed from the firing position, Xie Gouzi looked at the five people in front of him.

"Brothers, the timing of the fire is good, you killed at least twenty little devils this time."

"Really?! That's great! ”

When several soldiers heard that they had annihilated so many devils just now, they were all so excited that they almost danced with their hands.

"Brother Dog, don't worry, if the devil dares to come up in a while, we will let them come back!"

Hearing this, Xie Gouzi hurriedly waved his hand.

"Brothers, you can't fire again for a while, at least definitely not in the next attack of the devil."

"Huh? Why? ”

With a wry smile, Xie Gouzi pointed to the sky.

"If I'm not mistaken, when the devils attack again, their grenadiers will be staring at you.

As long as you open fire, I'm afraid that the devils won't let your ...... go easily. ”

"It's okay, Brother Dog, we're not afraid."

Hearing the worry in Xie Gouzi's tone, the machine gun squad leader patted his chest and said fearlessly.

At the same time, as a few people were talking, with the sound of dense footsteps, the third and fourth rows, which had been transferred back to the village, also rushed over.

Seeing someone coming, Xie Gouzi hurriedly took the initiative to greet him.

"Brother Gouzi, Chief of Staff Xue asked the third and fourth platoons to come back to increase our personnel."

Hearing this, he glanced at the soldiers gathered around him, and Xie Gouzi faintly realized something.

"Does the chief of staff have any orders?"

"Yes, he told us to hold out for two hours anyway to cover the retreat of the column."

"What? Two hours?! ”

"Well, the chief of staff said, let us do whatever it takes, even if we fight to the point of a single soldier, we have to hold for two hours."

“……”

Subconsciously glanced at the Japanese-style watch seized on his wrist, Xie Gouzi suddenly frowned.

Fuck ...... There is still an hour and forty minutes......

"What about the guard posts in the north and south, and is there any feedback on the enemy?"

Hearing Xie Gouzi's inquiry, the soldier who went back to report the news shook his head.

"I don't know, I didn't say a few words before I was chased back by Chief of Staff Xue. And now the whole village is in chaos, and the villagers are also evacuating. ”

……

Hearing this, he nodded, although Xie Gouzi was very worried that there would be enemies coming from other directions, but he had no choice at the moment, and he could only hope that the enemy would only encounter them by chance.

Gu didn't say much, he let the third platoon enter the west bank position to consolidate the defense, and at the same time asked the fourth platoon to carry the wounded who could still breathe out of the battlefield and send them to Nanyang Village quickly.

Xie Gouzi knew very well that if he didn't send the wounded soldiers away now, he might never have a chance again in a while.

And not long after the fourth platoon had just left the position with nearly a dozen wounded, the Japanese army began a third attack after a short repair.

This time, the Japanese army learned the lesson of a group of people who were killed and wounded by heavy machine guns after going to the bridge without brains, and decisively adopted the tactics of feints by small detachments and suppressed and covered by large troops.

With the support of flares, the Japanese suppressive firepower was fully exerted. The dense fire net and the precise and ferocious grenadiers crushed the spy battalion on the other side of the river in a matter of minutes, and they could not lift their heads.

In the fierce battle, seeing that the firepower of the counterattack was completely suppressed, seven or eight puppet troops and a detachment of Japanese troops took the opportunity to slowly touch up. One after the other, the Japanese puppet army slowly walked onto the pontoon bridge with his waist bent. With the support of superior firepower, except for the puppet army in front who were killed by Xie Gouzi, the Japanese troops in the rear suffered almost no losses along the way.

In the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Japanese army had reached the west side of the pontoon bridge.

Sudden ...... Sudden ......

However, just as the Japanese troops crossing the bridge were about to set foot on the land on the west bank, the 92 heavy machine gun hidden in the distance roared again.

In an instant, the precise and ferocious rain of bullets pierced through the puppet army column in front, and at the same time, it also immediately knocked the Japanese squad a few meters away on their backs.

In the midst of the flesh and blood, the narrow bridge deck became a complete one-sided slaughter.

However, just as the second bullet plate of the heavy machine gun was fired, at least four grenadier grenades also cut a perfect arc in the sky almost at the same time, and smashed into the vicinity of the heavy machine gun position.

Violent explosions, the second wave, the third wave.

In just a dozen seconds, twelve grenades repeatedly plowed the heavy machine gun position three times, exploding into a sea of fire.

And looking at the heavy machine gun position behind him that was red by the flames, Xie Gouzi's eyes were suddenly blood-red, and he smashed his fist to the ground.

"...... Give me a hard beating, and don't let a little devil escape alive! ”

In the angry roar, the soldiers braved the fierce fire of the Japanese troops on the opposite bank, and leaned out one after another to shoot at the surviving Japanese puppet soldiers on the bridge deck.

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

In an instant, bullets full of hatred flew across the bridge, into the wood, into the body, into the scarlet river .......
