Chapter 81: Zaozhuang (5)

After the battle of Zhongxing Water Tower, the Japanese army in Zaozhuang can be said to have been basically annihilated, and the units of the 4th Division soon received the order to withdraw from Zaozhuang.

Zhang Wei consciously assumed the responsibility of the forward, the troops returned to the city gate vertically with four platoon-level units, the forward platoon was Qiu Wei's platoon, Zhang Wei walked at the end of Qiu Wei's platoon, the forward platoon also had a striker, and a squad under Qiu Wei was in the front to explore the way.

The dark ground and yellow walls, and the streets made of blue bricks and stones, have a bit of Jiangnan flavor. However, a gunshot ruined Zhang Wei's reverie.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei shouted in unison, listening to the gunshots, it must have been an accident in the avant-garde class. The two men took out their weapons and ran forward in a low position, and there were already sporadic gunshots in front, and when they arrived at the front, the bureau saw the body of a soldier of the avant-garde squad lying on the ground, and the light machine gunner's Czech light machine gun was still smoking, and the muzzle of the gun was rushing towards the alley on the side, presumably just beating the Japanese back.

"What's going on?"

The leader of the avant-garde squad didn't move, turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei: "Sir, as soon as we arrived here, bullets flew in the alley, and when we saw the devils, the machine gun fired a few rounds before pressing them back." ”

"Company commander, it may be a Japanese skirmish who slipped through the net." Qiu Wei said.

"If we ran into it on the way out, then we can't let it go, your platoon, follow me."

"Yes, ready to fight!"

It's close, you can only use Qiu Wei's platoon, Zhang Wei took out his shell gun and loaded the butt, this kind of street fighting, this is a very good weapon.

The alley hidden by the Japanese army was very narrow, with a distance of less than three meters, and Zhang Wei took out a telescope at such a close distance in order to be safe, which was a path perpendicular to Zhang Wei and them at nearly 90 degrees, or an alley.

Along the sides of this alley, there are several courtyards, as well as several dilapidated gatehouses, recessed into the walls. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers hid in these hollows and yards.

Zhang Wei saw the general arrangement of the Japanese army, and already had a way in his heart, these Japanese soldiers hid inside, and the best way was to blow them up with grenades and shoot them with shells.

"Prepare grenades, follow me!" Zhang Wei rushed to the forefront.

"Throw a grenade!"

The infantry squad and Qiu Wei behind him threw out a string of grenades and rolled into the alley with smoke, and after an explosion, the narrow alley had no end in sight, and two bloody corpses rolled out of the hiding place and fell into the alley.

In order to prevent the Japanese troops from suddenly rushing out of the recesses and houses, Zhang Wei ordered Qiu Wei to line up with two light machine guns, and fire alternately in the middle to suppress the Japanese troops, while Zhang Wei and other soldiers advanced on both sides of the machine gunners, and Zhang Wei bent forward with the shell guns on the upper support.

In front of it was a depression, accompanied by the sound of light machine guns, and from time to time Japanese soldiers were killed. Of course, there are only a few people. The rest are all cat-tight.

The Japanese soldier in the first depression couldn't hold his breath, and the footsteps of the Chinese soldier were getting closer and closer, and he laboriously raised his 38 rifle, ready to give it a go. The narrow space restricted the use of the rifle, and he was just about to go out to shoot when the slender barrel of the thirty-eight guns was seen by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei aimed at the depression in front, the barrel of the 38 gun quickly slanted outward, and finally exposed two hands, just as the Japanese army lowered the height of the rifle, Zhang Wei had already aimed at his exposed hand and pulled the trigger of the barge gun.

Two bullets hit the exposed arm of the Japanese soldier, the length of the 38 guns brought endless disasters to his users at this time, the severe pain made the Japanese soldiers expose more of their bodies, Zhang Wei pulled the trigger continuously, and the shell gun had not yet adjusted to the state of continuous fire.

A bullet hit the Japanese soldier in the calf, he couldn't hold on any longer, wailing and rolling down the black stone pavement of the alley, Zhang Wei gave him a few shots, ending his life.

The light machine gun in the middle continued to shoot, but the Japanese army learned wisely and did not show its head when he died. Since he doesn't show his head, Zhang Wei has a way to make him never show his head.

The Japanese soldier who had just been killed seemed to make his comrades have mood swings, Zhang Wei advanced, this devil also panicked, the rifle swaying left and right was seen by Zhang Wei, this person was on Qiu Wei's side, that is, Zhang Wei's right side, Zhang Wei hurriedly squatted down, adjusted the shell gun to the state of continuous fire, a risky leap, jumped into the hiding place of the first Japanese soldier.

That is, facing the Japanese army who had just emerged, the Japanese army's eyes widened and they began to move their rifles, but unfortunately it was too late, Zhang Wei's shell gun had already fired a string of bullets, and the Japanese army fell to the ground with several blood holes. Weapons again dragged down the Japanese troops.

As long as it goes on like this, the Japanese army will finish sooner or later, but Zhang Wei wants to solve the problem faster, he waved his hand and signaled the team to stop advancing, but the suppressive fire of the machine gun did not stop, and the bullet casings fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, which was also the sound of the death of the Japanese army.

"Take a grenade, make a cluster grenade, and throw it down the alley, there should be enough grenades, more grenades."

Zhang Wei's idea was simple, since these Japanese soldiers were hiding in the hollows and openings of civilian houses on both sides of the alley, why not use cluster grenades? The narrow space on both sides is enough for these grenades to produce the power to destroy the Japanese army, plus the secondary damage caused by the repeated bouncing shrapnel, and then Zhang Wei and the others go up to mend the knife, I believe that there will be no more living people here.

In the first group, two bundles of grenades were thrown out, and Zhang Wei and the officers and men of the independent company consciously lay on the ground in order to prevent accidental injury. The smoke from the grenade explosion and the sound of shrapnel crashing on the walls soon covered the alley.

After the explosion, the Czechs resumed shooting, Zhang Wei got up and moved forward, and when he reached the door of the house next to the alley, he saw only two bloody bodies that had been blown up, and their bellies were still undulating.

"Dog's day! To die" the soldiers around them were officially dealt with in the middle. Then the second group threw grenades, shrapnel and explosions repeatedly ravaged the remnants of the Japanese army. Zhang Wei aimed at the Japanese army who was forced out, and the Japanese army wanted to fight to the death, but unfortunately he was one step too slow, and Zhang Wei's shell gun had already sounded.

The grenade exploded, the bullet burst into the air, and in such a narrow alley, the hiding place chosen by the Japanese army almost became a place of death. Zhang Wei and the officers and soldiers grinded the vitality of the Japanese army little by little.

A bullet came without warning, grazed Zhang Wei, and hit a soldier of the independent company behind him, no one saw the rifle, only a moment of fire in the corner of the wall.

"Pistols, be careful, the Japanese are in the corner."

The crackling bullets rushed past, and it seemed that it was an officer who could use the pistol, and the dense bullets crushed the last Japanese soldier, and the pistol he relied on to resist was useless.

As the group approached, a soldier skillfully threw a grenade, which drew a perfect arc diagonally in the air and landed exactly in the corner.

After the explosion, the silent alley was quiet again.
