Chapter 175: Night Battle
The gunfire came from a soldier in a platoon of a company, the soldiers of a company were full of energy, and they all stared at the pile of corpses with wide eyes, the corporal looked at it, and felt that something was wrong, the bayonet piled next to the corpse, moved, you know, the bayonet was left by the dead Japanese soldiers, there was no mud on it, the corporal was afraid of losing his eyes, and stared a few more times, but he moved a few times, and it was obvious that someone touched it in the middle of the night. X
As soon as the corporal opened fire, the whole platoon moved, and when Zhang Wei ran over, the light machine guns and rifles were all fired at suspicious places, and the Japanese corpse next to the bayonet had been beaten to the ground, and after fighting for a long time, the Japanese did not return fire, and the officers and men of the first company stopped firing.
"What's the situation?" Zhang Wei and the others rushed over when they heard the gunshots.
"Battalion commander, there is a soldier in the third squad who found that something is wrong over there, the bayonet has been moving, I am afraid that a little devil has touched it, and the brothers have been fighting for a while."
It was a sergeant squad leader who spoke, holding a rifle in his hand, and Zhang Wei could still smell the smell of gunpowder left over from the shots in the air.
"Did anyone fight back?"
"No one fired a shot. Then the brothers ceased firing. ”
Listening to the sergeant's words, Zhang Wei felt that there was something strange about it, the Japanese did not do anything less about the night sneak attack, this Lanfeng battle, Chen Liukou was lost by the night attack, Zhang Wei didn't dare to be careless, but the whole platoon of people fired, and the gunfire would definitely cover the sound of the devil, so there was nothing to discover, so he could only fight indiscriminately.
"Don't fight, the gunfire is so loud, the voice of the devil has long been covered, besides, according to the virtue of the little devil, even if you hit, these goods can endure it."
"If you want to play, just play a big one, everyone throws grenades at me in front, it's best to throw them in a delay, and they explode on the ground, and then call the mortar to fire two shots, and blow up this group of ground rats to the sky."
When the guards saw Zhang Wei's order, they immediately went to the mortar position to convey the order, and the officers and soldiers of a company on the position took out grenades, Zhang Wei found them a good job, anyway, the ammunition supply of the prepared battalion was sufficient, and there were many grenades, just for the boring officers and soldiers of the company to kill time.
The first to fire was the mortar, the mortar was erected in the position, the height of the trench was higher than the mortar body, except for sporadic sparks when firing, nothing could be seen at all, two rounds were fired, the shell fell in front of the position of the preparatory battalion, the huge explosion lifted the corpses of the Japanese army into the sky, the explosion did not produce a big fire, only a violent sound, after the explosion, there was the sound of objects falling to the ground, some were the broken weapons of the Japanese army, some were the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, flew into the sky, and fell to the ground, the real death could not be peaceful.
After the shelling, there was still no movement in front of the position.
"Grenades!" Zhang Wei took out a grenade himself, delayed it for three seconds after pulling the string, and threw it, the grenade exploded when it landed, and more than 100 people threw grenades one after another, and the explosions sounded one after another.
As Zhang Wei wished, the Japanese army lurking in the corpse could not bear it, this group of Japanese soldiers originally planned to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders of the preparatory battalion, along the position to touch up with a knife to solve a few sentries, throw him a few grenades, but when the past was too big, a bad luck moved too much, touched the bayonet on the corpse, the bayonet swayed back and forth, it alarmed the soldiers of a company, and further down, it was subjected to the concentrated fire of the rifle machine gun. The vigilance and combat effectiveness of the preparation battalion were much higher than what this group of Japanese troops imagined, and of course, it was also "customary" for the Japanese by some units in the past. ”
The 15th Wing of the Japanese Army, which fought with the preparatory battalion, fought in the area of Chenliukou in the Battle of Lanfeng, and after the squadron guarding Chenliukou was defeated by the second wing of the Japanese army, the garrison task was once handed over to a part of the 15th Wing, and in the process of garrisoning, the squadron launched several night attacks on Chenliukou, all of which were beaten back by the 15th Wing, and the 15th Wing also took advantage of the dark night to fight several counter-assaults on the ** squadron.
After a series of indiscriminate guns and grenades, the Japanese troops who attacked by the sneak attack had already lost five people, and this was still thanks to the strength of the dispersed force, and the troops of the sneak attack were only two infantry detachments, which had already been discovered, and the suddenness of the sneak attack no longer existed. In addition, a company of grenades has been thrown endlessly, and if you don't retreat at this time, you can only be killed by grenades.
The military cao who led the team was injured in the left arm by a grenade, and the blood flowed, these military cao are different from the reservists and levies, they are all veterans who have served in the army all the year round, and they endured severe pain to organize a sneak attack on the retreat of the troops, and the military cao knocked the soldiers around him with the butt of the gun, and then got up and retreated, and the Japanese soldiers saw the retreat of the military cao, and immediately left the night attack behind, no longer prostrate, and fell back with the military cao.
It was impossible for a dozen people to get up and retreat without being discovered, and the soldiers of the first company heard the sound first, and then saw the shaking black shadow.
"Someone, run backwards, fight!"
There was a burst of gunfire, and the Japanese army made it clear that it was a night attack and could not retreat, a company of soldiers threw away grenades, picked up guns and fired at the black shadows, and the four slowest unlucky ghosts did not run bullets, and were knocked down by the follower fire, and the rest disappeared into the dark night.
"Alright, stop fighting." Zhang Wei ordered a ceasefire for a company, since it was determined that the Japanese army would retreat, there was no need to waste bullets, the Japanese night attack was considered a failure, the sneak attack killed nine people, and a few people were wounded, and the price of the prepared battalion was several hundred rounds of guns and nearly a hundred grenades.
"It seems that this little devil wants to get our attention, and he comes to touch our position at night, but the friendly troops are very quiet." Qiu Wei lowered his head and said in a very low voice.
"It is estimated that tomorrow it will be more fierce, okay, call the mortar for a while and fire a few more shots, you just put a few shots, these grandsons will definitely not dare to come over, you set up a guard when it's over, tell the big guy to rest, there is no need to toss all night."
Zhang Wei didn't want his elite company to spend all his energy at night, firing a few cannons and firing a few shots, so that the Japanese army knew that they were ready to take precautions, and the group of night raiding Japanese soldiers just now was beaten back, and Zhang Wei was the commander of the Japanese army, and he would not ask his subordinates to take this risk to attack at night.
In the evening, there was a night attack, Zhang Wei was glad that he had transferred the first company, if the second company, a group of recruits who had not been trained enough, was here, maybe the Japanese army would have touched the position. In addition, I have to thank Dayang, I sold weapons in exchange for salt and meat and various non-staple foods, and I really didn't do it in vain, and the non-staple food is abundant, and the chance of night blindness of soldiers is greatly reduced, so that my eyes will not be black, if I eat that clear soup and little water every day, plus the soldier's own physique is average,
