Chapter 117: Fierce Battle on a Rainy Night
"Boom ......"
The sky outside the valley shone with the flowers of cannonballs exploding, and the dark night sky was dotted with sudden red flames. The rain is still falling, but it's no longer cold. Light raindrops flowed down Hakuda Ishino's face, although it was still September, and it stands to reason that the temperature in the twenties should not be cold, but Hakuda Ishino felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Huaxia people actually attacked, they actually took advantage of the night to launch a night attack, this is something that Hakarita Ishino does not want to admit and does not want to admit, but it just happened, and it happened so suddenly, so without warning, that even an experienced officer like him was stunned.
After a long while, Hakuda Ishino exclaimed, "It's not good...... The enemy attacked, everyone got up, the chariot quickly started the engine, and quickly started! ”
One after another, the shells fell in the camp of the Japanese army, making a huge explosion sound, they were raging to show their power, one after another huge explosions tore everything in the camp, dust and rain mixed with metal shrapnel flew everywhere, from time to time large stones hit the chariots standing on the side of the road, making a tooth-sore impact and friction sound, and the earth and stones thrown into the sky by the shock wave fell from the air and smashed on people's heads and bodies after reaching the fixed point.
There were shouts of soldiers and officers all around, and many Japanese soldiers ran out of their tents in a hurry, and in the darkness of the night, Hirota Ishino couldn't see the faces of those around him, but he could imagine the expressions of the people at this time, and the Grim Reaper was already wandering back and forth around them and letting out a hideous laugh.
"Hurry up and hide...... Take cover...... Prepare to fight back, the people of China are coming! ”
Hakuda Ishino tried to shout loudly, but his voice was so small in the loud explosion that his voice seemed so futile and weak.
Just as Hakuda Ishino continued to shout, his orderly came out of nowhere and dragged him towards an anti-artillery hole dozens of meters away. When they ran into the anti-artillery holes. A shell exploded near where he was standing, and after the violent explosion, he could clearly see by the light of the explosion that there was an additional crater several meters wide where he had just stood.
"The people of China actually used heavy artillery, right...... That's not heavy artillery...... That's a heavy mortar! As an experienced army officer, Hirota quickly recognized that the high-pitched, dull whistling sound was the characteristic sound of mortars.
But before he could return to China, a sharp and piercing whistling sound pierced the sky, it was the sound of light mortars, just listening to the rapid sound of cannons, it was at least fifty mortars firing a salvo.
"Damn, how can these people have so many mortars!" Ishino Hakuda was already a little desperate. In such a dark night, they were bombarded so intensively by the enemy that their own soldiers did not have time to react, and the losses were conceivable. What made him even more desperate was that he was sure that the enemy would attack them after the shelling, that was for sure, and he would certainly have done so.
After some time, the explosion gradually stopped. But the people in the bomb shelter did not mean to go out immediately, and who knows when the next wave of bombing will begin?
The wait in the bomb shelter was long, and despair and insecurity held down everyone hiding in the bomb shelter. Hirota Ishino felt as if he was in a pack of terrified voles, and he gradually shrunk into one of them.
We can't wait so passively anymore. God knows when those damned Shina people will attack. Botian Ishino quickly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone get up for me, go back to their respective posts immediately, the people of Shina are about to attack, don't expect them to have mercy on you." You are all warriors of the Empire, and you who have come to Shina for His Majesty the Emperor's expansion of the territory must fight like a true warrior! Hakuda Ishino kicked and beat the Japanese soldiers in the bomb shelter, and he rushed out first.
When he ran out of the bomb shelter. I also saw that many soldiers stood up from their hidden places one after another, and many officers also stood up and shouted to the soldiers to prepare for battle, and for a while, the sound of the chariot starting, the sound of the officers shouting and scolding, and the shouting of the soldiers were intertwined and filled the entire camp.
Just when the entire barracks of the Japanese army were busy. A shrill whistling sound swept across the night sky again.
"Not good, shelling ......"
The faces of the Japanese soldiers who had just been bombarded by the shells changed and they were about to lie down and hide, but these shells exploded in mid-air, flashing a scorching light.
"Tom Tom ......"
Flares exploded in the dark night sky, and then illuminated the entire Japanese camp as bright as day.
As the flares lit up, a sharp and passionate trumpet sounded.
"Didi Da ...... Click-and-drop ......"
With the sound of the fierce military trumpet, a soldier wearing a gray military uniform and a steel helmet shouted and rushed over, they also let out a shout while charging, and the weapons in their hands continued to pour fire snakes at the same time, no one knew how many people there were in the night, but they felt that there were enemies on all sides.
"Counter Strike...... Increase your firepower and give me a counterattack......"
"Fire...... Increase the fire and drive them out......"
The camp was filled with the roars and gunfire of the officers.
As the most veterans and the most well-equipped unit in the security regiment, and as the unit with the most veterans and the strongest combat effectiveness in the independent regiment, it was given the task of opening a gap at all costs to disrupt the Japanese defense, as long as it could rush into the Japanese barracks, the subsequent two battalions could follow the expansion of the results and completely disrupt the Japanese defense line.
"Da Da Da ......"
Huang Weiguo led his soldiers through the night, the Suomi submachine gun in his hand constantly pouring fire snakes, and the seventy rounds of drums provided more ammunition and longer shooting time for the submachine guns. The sudden shelling and darkness of the night provided a natural protective color for the attacking troops, allowing them to approach less than 200 meters from the Japanese before launching a surprise attack.
For this, Huang Weiguo is very grateful to the brothers of the artillery company, but now Huang Weiguo is a little complaining that the brothers of the artillery company have fired too many flares, which illuminates the sky brightly, exposing the attacking troops to the bright light of the flares, increasing the chance of the troops being exposed.
But at this time he did not have time to curse, the rain scattered in the strong night wind appeared and disappeared in the fire light that exploded from time to time, and the dead trees and branches that were torn apart by the explosion swirled in the night wind, and the mud and stones that were rolled up hit the ground with a crackling sound. The soldiers widened their eyes in search of the enemy hiding in the darkness, the G42 semi-automatic rifles, Suomi submachine guns, and MG34 machine guns were either crisp or dense gunfire, short bursts and mortar shells, and a series of crisp explosions mixed with grenades echoed in the barracks.
"Machine gun...... Go up the hill over there, suppress the enemy's fire, three companies attack from the left, one company attacks from the right, the second company follows me, and I see that there is no row of tents in the middle, there must be a lot of Japanese there, kill them! ”
After the expansion, the number of independent regiments increased greatly, and the number of each infantry battalion naturally increased to more than 600 people, and when more than 600 men entered the Japanese camp, the entire camp was completely disrupted by them. Soon the second and third battalions also followed behind the first battalion and killed them, and Su Jin was among the second group.
It stands to reason that Su Jin, as the commander of the regiment, does not need to follow the army to charge, even Zhou Yusheng persuaded him that as the commander of the army, he does not have to take such risks, but Su Jin still insisted on coming, Su Jin thought that the independent regiment was established for a short time, and there were too many recruits, and having his own seat could also stabilize the mood of the army and stabilize the army's heart, so he still insisted on following.
"When I become a brigade commander, I will be able to sit in the rear and command." This is what Su Jin said when Zhou Yusheng persuaded him to stay.
When Su Jin led the third battalion to follow the first battalion into the Japanese camp, the Japanese counterattack also began, and orange-red fires continued to emerge from the night, and from time to time soldiers were injured or sacrificed.
When Su Jin covered the rain with his hands and turned his head to check the surrounding situation, he happened to see a soldier who had been shot falling heavily next to him from a high ground, and the G42 rifle smashed into the stone and burst into a little spark; Taking advantage of the flickering firelight, Su Jin saw that the blood splattered from his chest quickly reddened the rocks below his body, and was immediately washed away by the heavier and heavier rain, and the bright red water streamed deep into the damp weeds.
Su Jin swept a shuttle of bullets at the place where the fire snake was constantly pouring dozens of meters away, and took out the long-pole M24 grenade on his waist, unscrewed the lid, opened the fuse, and threw it over.
"Boom" With the sound ......of explosions, the Japanese army's firepower suddenly became dumb.
Su Jin bent over and climbed the rock to flip the body of the shot soldier over, and I could see his pale face through the hazy rain and the bright light of the flares that flashed in the sky from time to time. This is a typical Chinese peasant's face, with thick lips slightly open, but there is no breath of life on the face. His dark eyes were wide open, staring straight into the night sky, and droplets of water fell limply down the rain-soaked ends of his hair to the ground.
Holding up the soldier's head, Su Jin tried to wake him up, raindrops burst into his mouth, with a slight salty taste, and the gray military uniform on his chest had been stained red and black with blood.
I don't know how many soldiers' bodies are lying alive in front of him, how many lives that were once alive have been taken away by this war of aggression launched by the Japanese, right in front of his eyes. (To be continued......)
