Chapter 302: Yangxin County's Offensive and Defensive Battle (Medium)
After sending the rookie private away, Pang Sheng sat down again and leaned in front of Wu Zhuang and asked mysteriously: "Company Commander Wu, I want to ask you something, I heard that the division seat was in Erlong Mountain, and it was comfortable to take you down the mountain to grab things, how was your boy's day at that time?" ”
Looking at Pang Sheng, who was gossiping, Wu Zhuang couldn't cry or laugh, "Battalion commander, how can you gossip like a girl!" ”
Pang Sheng squeezed his eyes: "What kind of gossip, I've heard that you had a comfortable life in Erlong Mountain back then, at that time you were eating meat and drinking wine, and some people even had several daughters-in-law, is this true?" ”
Wu Zhuang couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "you......"
As soon as Wu Zhuang's voice fell, the guns on the rooftops across the street "snorted", and small red sparks flickered and jumped in the rain and fog.
When the machine gun roared, Wu Zhuang also heard a burst of "da-da-da" gunfire in the distance almost at the same time, and saw the faintly heard sound in the distance through the sparks spewed out of the muzzle of the machine gun, and Wu Zhuang immediately heard the other party's gun type.
"It's a little devil's Type 96 machine gun!"
The Japanese army's Type 96 light machine gun is a new type of light machine gun that the Japanese army only began to equip on a large scale this year, although the 11-year-old light machine gun born in 1922 is also a good machine gun, with the characteristics of lightness and high precision, but the Type 11 light machine gun also has some fatal shortcomings, its design of the open ammunition inclined plane is easy to make sand and dirt into the gun body, and because of the poor space tolerance in the design, it is easy to jam in a muddy or dirty environment. The most important thing is that the requirements for the shooter of this machine gun have reached outrageous levels. As a result, this weapon gradually became infamous among the Japanese troops, and calls for redesign also arose, so the Type 96 light machine gun was born.
This machine gun really solved the shortcomings of the eleven-year-old machine gun. However, from this machine gun, the strange character of the Japanese was once again shown in front of the world, and the Japanese actually installed a bayonet on this machine gun, which was also groundbreaking in the history of weapons in the world.
Looking at the orange-red tracer bullets shooting from a distance, the target did not seem to be in his own direction, Wu Zhuang saw that the third battalion commander Pang Sheng turned his head to look at him, as if he was asking for his own opinion.
At this moment, with three rapid bursts, another row of orange-red tracer bullets came from the same direction.
"It looks like the people of the supplementary brigade have done it with the devil!" Wu Zhuang said without thinking.
Pang Sheng nodded, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that the upper authorities are indeed in a hurry, otherwise they would not have sent a supplementary brigade to attack the devils overnight." Fighting overnight is a hassle. Most of the supplementary brigades are recruits, can they do it? ”
Wu Zhuang shook his head and said: "It's not impossible to fight at night, at most you can shoot more flares." However, I estimate that the new recruits of the supplementary brigade want to fight hard with the devil's third wing, and it is estimated that it is a bit hanging, and I don't know if we will have to be allowed to go up when the time comes. ”
"Well, it's possible!" Pang Sheng also felt that it made sense, so he ordered: "Company Commander Wu." You immediately tell your brothers to hurry up and rest. I don't know if we still have a fight tonight. ”
"Okay, I see!" Wu Zhuang nodded to indicate that he knew, he ate the rest of the meal in twos and threes, arranged a sentry post, and then ordered the soldiers of the whole company to rest immediately.
Pang Sheng's hunch was right, at half past three in the middle of the night, the gunfire in the city continued to be more intense than stopped. Pang Sheng came to the 7th Company and gave a new order, and their battalion was ordered to assist in reinforcing the 1st Regiment to launch a new attack on the Japanese army.
"Company Commander Wu, the mission of your company is to reinforce the second battalion of the supplementary 1st Regiment located in the east of the city. They were counterattacked by the Japanese army, and the situation was not very good. Reinforcements continue. ”
"Okay, I see." Wu Zhuang nodded and waved his hand: "Third platoon leader, your platoon is the vanguard, the first platoon and the second platoon are covering behind, don't fight hard when you encounter the Japanese army, use mortars and grenades to solve them." I led two machine-gun squads to approach the enemy from the rooftops! ”
"Yes!"
Under the cover of night, the Seventh Company advanced towards the eastern block under the leadership of Wu Zhuang. After arriving at a row of buildings, Wu Zhuang pointed to the row of buildings and made a gesture, a strong machine gunner immediately leaned against the root of the wall, and then Wu Zhuang stepped forward and stepped on the thigh of the machine gunner and the shoulder of the half-crouched machine gunner to climb up to the window on the second floor, and then pulled another soldier hard, and then threw a rope from the roof of the building.
Wu Zhuang led two machine gun teams to run along the roof towards the place where the gunfire was fierce, although his feet still hurt faintly during the run, but at this time he couldn't care so much.
When Wu Zhuang and the others ran for five or six minutes, they saw that in the light of the fire, groups of soldiers in gray-green military uniforms were intertwined with a group of soldiers in earthy yellow military uniforms, gunshots, shouts and explosions rang out in one piece, and there were many black figures on the opposite side constantly surging in this direction.
Wu Zhuang didn't have time to observe too much, so he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Hurry up...... Immediately set up a machine-gun position here to block the devil's reinforcements. ”
After listening to Wu Zhuang's order, several machine gunners immediately poured a dense rain of bullets on the enemy in the distance, and the Japanese troops who were caught off guard fell more than a dozen in an instant.
Faced with sudden machine gun fire, the Japanese offensive seemed to have stagnated for a while, and then more Japanese troops poured in from several directions, Wu Zhuang and two machine gun teams lay on the roof, using sniper rifles and machine guns to fire at the Japanese army, dense bullets rained down on the road of the Japanese attack, and kept harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
I don't know how long later, the Japanese army, which was originally charging like a wave, suddenly retreated, and the soldiers who were struggling to resist the replenishment regiment broke out into cheers, and under the command of a captain, dozens of soldiers immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese army, and the two sides naturally exchanged offensive and defensive postures.
The soldiers of the Supplementary Brigade, under the command of the officers, threw grenades at the houses and strongholds of the Japanese garrison, and with a violent explosion, the doors of several buildings were blown open, and the charging soldiers rushed into those houses immediately after the doors were blown open.
Fierce gunfire and the explosion of grenades that shook the mountains immediately rang out in the dark building, and the dense explosion was like a dense thunderstorm in the sky pouring down. Soldiers who stormed houses threw two or three grenades into almost every house they touched to clear the remnants of the enemy, in order to ensure their own safety as much as possible.
