Chapter 45: Volunteering

People who have not experienced it, simply do not cope and cannot cope. Only Xiao Mubai, who came from later generations, knew this from a little bit of knowledge, the soldiers of the national * army at this time were really just farmers who had just put on military uniforms, where would they know that there was such a thing as armored vehicles.

It has only been more than ten years since armored vehicles appeared on the battlefield in World War I, how can China be a backward country.

Only the Japanese army in East Asia was equipped with this sharp weapon, and for the first time, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army realized the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

There are no anti-tank guns, no Motorov incendiary * bottles, no flamethrowers, no helicopter rocket artillery.

If there is an armor-piercing bullet, it would be good. Xiao Mubai thought so, but it was impossible, Xiao Mubai had never even seen armor-piercing bullets in every world.

It was Xiao Mubai who shouted the report.

Xiao Mubai thought that it was he who brought the soldiers of the whole company into danger, and he had to take this responsibility, so he let him complete this task, hoping to get forgiveness from his brothers.

The death of his comrade-in-arms just now deeply touched Xiao Mubai.

The morning battle had already given the soldiers of the 19th Route Army a few countermeasures - cluster bombs.

The second and third rows of grenades were concentrated here, bundled into bundles of cluster bombs, and this was the only means of cracking the Japanese armored vehicles.

The armored car was close at hand, crushing towards the whole platoon, and the on-board machine gun frantically spat tongues of fire, brutally reaping the lives of the soldiers of the 19th Route Army.

After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, he put the rifle aside, reached out to grab the cluster bomb, saw the right time, and was about to step forward.

At this time, a voice suddenly stopped, it was Company Commander Zhang.

"He's just a private, isn't he going up to die in vain?" Company Commander Zhang glared at everyone.

It turned out that Company Commander Zhang had also been there and did not retreat with the people behind.

The squad elder Hei's face suddenly turned red, he took the cluster bomb in Xiao Mubai's hand with one hand, and was about to rush forward, when he was suddenly stopped by the beard.

"You're the squad leader, I'll go!"

The bearded man held the cluster bomb and rushed out before Lao Hei came to his senses.

Seeing this, Xiao Mubai took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, and also took a bundle of cluster bombs and rushed out, and the others had no time to stop them.

Xiao Mubai knew that this trip would kill him, but he couldn't sit back and watch the bearded man die alone, the bearded man was Xiao Mubai's guide, teaching him how to shoot and how to fight. The bearded man, an ordinary soldier of the 19th Route Army, is the only person Xiao Mubai cares about here.

Although he did not hesitate when he rushed out, the subsequent encounter made Xiao Mubai feel that impulse was really the devil, and the actual situation was much more cruel.

A row of battle lines was constantly retreating, and on this section of forty or fifty square meters of street, more than a dozen corpses had been dropped, all of which were a row of soldiers who had sacrificed.

Xiao Mubai crawled forward in the corner, on the wide street, without any cover, only blocked by a corpse, and just moved forward.

Xiao Mubai desperately lowered his head, and the bullet flew over his head, as if he was about to hit his head in the next moment.

A platoon of soldiers was covering Xiao Mubai and the bearded man, light machine guns suppressed the fire of the Japanese army, and grenades disrupted the sight of the Japanese army.

Xiao Mubai gasped for breath and leaned against the stone pillar on the side of the street. From here, it was already close to armored vehicles.

Xiao Mubai didn't dare to be careless, many things will fail, often at the last moment, and the last mistake will lead to the previous efforts in vain.

If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.

Xiao Mubai aimed at the corpse of a soldier of the Nineteenth Route Army next to him, turned over, and hid behind the corpse.

The bullet hit the floor, fortunately Xiao Mubai was fast enough, otherwise there would have been a few more blood holes on his body this time.

Xiao Mubai hid behind the corpse, holding the corpse, moving slowly.

The bullet hit the corpse, Xiao Mubai heard the sound of the bullet entering the flesh and blood, as if it was hitting his body, maybe a bullet would come over the next moment.

Xiao Mubai was concentrated, and he didn't notice that the bearded man on the opposite side had already rushed to the armored car, ripped off the fuse, and threw it into the armored car's territory.

"Boom!"

A second or two later, the cluster bomb exploded.

Xiao Mubai heard the explosion, and a wave of air rushed in, and debris of dirt fell from his body. Xiao Mubai hid behind the corpse and saw the bearded man lying on the ground, as if he had been swept away by the air wave.

"Da Da Da!"

The armored car shook a little, and then, like a man who was fine, ran over to the front, and the machine guns began to fire with impunity again.

The vehicle-mounted machine gun was firing at the row of soldiers suppressed by the fire, and the Japanese soldiers were also shooting towards the position where the beard landed, Xiao Mubai was extremely worried about the beard, but he couldn't act rashly, but moved slowly, gradually approaching the armored car.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier noticed Xiao Mubai and fired a shot at Xiao Mubai, the bullet hit the body on Xiao Mubai's back and shot into the flesh, Xiao Mubai felt that the clothes on his back were soaked, and the military uniform stained red by blood kept dripping blood, and the smell of blood was permeating.

"Hit me there! Cover the show! ”

The squad leader noticed Xiao Mubai with a black face and ordered machine gun fire to cover Xiao Mubai and suppress the Japanese firepower.

Xiucai is Chen Yiming's nickname in the company of the 19th Route Army, which is the first to be called by the bearded man.

The cover of machine gun fire gave Xiao Mubai the best opportunity to act, and the Japanese soldiers were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and now they just acted. Xiao Mubai launched a long-planned attack, and a thunderous blow.

Xiao Mubai waited for the armored car to drive over, crushed the body of the soldiers of the 19th Route Army, and then pulled the fuse and threw it towards the chassis of the armored car.

Xiao Mubai jumped and heard "Boom!" The explosion fell out on the impact of the air wave and fell into the corner.

Xiao Mubai fell dizzy, his internal organs hurt, and crumbs of earth and bricks fell on his body. Xiao Mubai turned over from a long distance, but he didn't hear the sound of the machine gun, it seemed that he was dumb.

Xiao Mubai turned his head and saw the Japanese armored car lying there, the front of the car was on fire and smoking, the armor was blown up, and a hole was made from beginning to end.

Xiao Mubai was stunned, but the crisis in the first row was lifted. The remnants of the armored vehicles blocked the Japanese attack behind, and before the clearing was completed, the platoon had calmly retreated.

Xiao Mubai was rescued by Blackface, and then retreated under the leadership of Company Commander Zhang.

Company Commander Zhang led a platoon to withdraw from the battle scene, and then did not go far before encountering reinforcements who were urgently dispatched and immediately took over the battle of the platoon.

In this battle, only one platoon of the whole company suffered the most serious losses, with more than 20 people killed, more than 10 wounded, and more than half of the battle losses.

Not long after, the regiment commander Zhang Junsong ordered the third company to withdraw from the battle and temporarily stay in Zhabei to rest.

Xiao Mubai was injured, and when the cluster bomb exploded, a piece of shrapnel slashed through his thigh. Fortunately, it was not a major artery, but Xiao Mubai still fainted gorgeously because of excessive blood loss.

The squad elder carried Xiao Mubai on his back and walked in front panting. The bearded man followed with a gun and gauze wrapped around his arm.

The military uniform on Xiao Mubai's body was stained red with blood, and the white gauze on his thighs was also soaked with blood, and drop by drop of blood fell down the street, merging into an intermittent road.
