Chapter 276: Japanese Army Plainclothes
The journey of the assault column took about a day and a half, and after a period of accelerated marching, the entire assault column finally got a long rest during the march.
The camp at night was settled on the spot, the battalion was prepared, and the main force of the column behind set up an improvised camp on the main road, the chariots and heavy weapons were also parked on the main road, all the heavy equipment was covered with camouflage nets, and the anti-aircraft machine gun platoon of the column also set up machine guns to make anti-aircraft preparations to guard against enemy planes that might appear at dawn the next day.
Dinner was dry food, there was no condition to bury the pot to make rice, starting from Zhang Wei, everyone used dry food to eat a simple meal on this water, after arranging the guard post, the preparation camp for the day of the march soon began to rest.
The night was safe, there was no abnormal movement, the anti-aircraft machine guns of the column did not come in handy the next morning, and the whole column continued the remaining half of the day's journey.
The further you go, the more people are fleeing.
Just when the preparatory camp was still more than twenty miles away from its destination, a large-scale riot broke out in the crowd in front.
Zhang Wei had to let the troops pause, seeing that they were about to arrive at the place, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
A large crowd blocked the road, crowded, tore and beaten, and in the crowd there were not only civilians, but also dozens of routs.
A company of searchers who were beating the head couldn't rush in if they wanted to go in and chase people, and the common people caught the rout, picked up the boards, and tore them together with their hands and feet, and the soldiers fought with the people for a while, and the people beat the people for a while, and even the people and the rout fought together with another group of people......
"The searchers can't drive people away, Qiu Wei, let one be connected!"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Wei knew that there was no way to solve the problem with these search soldiers, and he had to pull up a company to suppress the chaos.
At this time, the search soldiers in front also came back and reported the specific situation to Zhang Wei.
"Sir, there are hundreds of civilians fighting in front, and there are soldiers from other troops."
"Hundreds of people fighting?" Before Zhang Wei could speak, Qiu Wei asked with a surprised expression.
"Yes, company commander." "Okay, let's go over and take a look, anything strange can happen to our camp." Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is indeed strange for hundreds of people to fight, but it is called the preparation camp to meet, what can be done?
"Understood, all ready!" Qiu Wei ordered.
As soon as the words fell, a muffled gunshot rang out in front of the "bang".
"Shot! Get ready for battle!" Zhang Wei was in a hurry, took out a shell gun, and ordered to prepare for battle. The main force of the first company was not deployed, and most of the soldiers were still on the march, Qiu Wei immediately retreated to organize the soldiers to deploy, but the situation was urgent, Zhang Wei couldn't wait for a while, carried a gun, and rushed forward with the heralds.
"Battalion commander!" Qiu Wei was in a hurry. "Go help the battalion commander!" Qiu Wei said to the nearest class next to him, let this class go to help Zhang Wei, the squad leader did not dare to slack off, the whole class of twelve people immediately caught up with Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei with less than twenty people, rushed forward, the matter is urgent, it must be solved as soon as possible.
It's just that Zhang Wei was puzzled that the gunfire just now was a muffled sound, and the search soldier told him that there was a rout in front of him, presumably it was the Zhongzheng gun in the hands of the rout, maybe it was fighting with the people, or it was a malicious intention to grab something.
At the front, there were people running around, the gunfire had already caused a riot, and there was also the explosion of grenades, Zhang Wei passed through the flow of people, and the rioted road was full of corpses, among which there was also the body of a soldier of a company of the preparatory battalion who had fallen to the ground.
The other two searchers who remained in front rushed towards Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei saw that his people were killed, and his lungs were about to explode, so he grabbed the search soldiers who ran back.
"What the is going on?"
The searcher said aggrievedly: "Just now, the group of civilians and the rout soldiers fought each other, and suddenly someone shot and some threw grenades!" ”
"The gunfire is a neutral gun, is it the gun fired by the group of routs?"
"No, the person who fired the gun was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, throwing guns and throwing grenades everywhere, and the two of us looked for a long time before staring at and killing one!"
"Ordinary people's clothes?" Zhang Wei suddenly realized that wearing the clothes of the common people and using the Zhongzheng rifle has already explained everything, the defeated soldiers and the common people do not use grenades at all, so there is only one possibility - the Japanese army made a ghost.
"Let's all go up together, shoot me if I see someone shooting!" Zhang Wei loaded the shell gun with a rifle and rushed forward, and the soldiers behind followed Zhang Wei against the flow of people.
In the center of the riot section, more than a dozen Japanese plainclothes teams were firing frantically and throwing grenades, and the weapons in the hands of these Japanese soldiers were uniform, all of which were medium-formal, barge guns, and flower machine guns, all of which were weapons and equipment of the Chinese army.
The surrounding civilians were just fleeing for their lives, and the Japanese soldiers fired frantically to kill, and after every shot, a large number of civilians fell.
"Battalion commander, that's them!" Zhang Wei saw the corpses of the people everywhere, the old and weak women and children lying in a pool of blood, looked further, and finally saw the initiator of the tragedy, raised the shell gun and beat it fiercely.
"Bang bang bang!" After four shots, Zhang Wei knocked down two Japanese soldiers with close range of fire, and the surrounding soldiers followed suit, and the fire net composed of rifles and light machine guns raided the Japanese plainclothes who were strafing the civilians, and nearly half of the dozen people fell.
The Japanese army was suddenly attacked, caught off guard, the remaining seven or eight people reacted very quickly, quickly made a response, scattered on the spot, used the corpses of the people as a cover fortification, and Zhang Wei and others shot at each other, Zhang Wei and others after the first round of fire raids also looked for cover on the spot, using the cart left by the people as a shooting support, and the two sides fought like this. Zhang Wei used a shell gun to knock out more than two rows of bullets and kill a Japanese soldier.
"Fight now, increase your firepower, set up the machine gun!" This group of Japanese soldiers reacted quickly, and their tactical level was higher than that of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, Zhang Wei used a barge gun to shoot so many bullets, and killed two Japanese soldiers in front and back.
These Japanese soldiers pulled up the corpses of ordinary people, piled them together, formed a meat stack fortification, and finally took out a Czech light machine gun, which continued to fire at a point.
Two soldiers on Zhang Wei's side were also killed by Japanese machine-gun fire.
"Grenade attack, light machine gun!" Zhang Wei shouted. The infantry squad sent by Qiu Wei to help Zhang Wei had a Soviet-style turntable light machine gun, which had a more ammunition capacity than the Japanese Czech-style light machine gun.
The turntable machine gun spits tongues of fire, and the Czech light machine gun, which has a shell capacity of only 20 rounds, is unable to fight the turntable machine gun, and is suppressed by the turntable machine gun.
The bullet casings of the turntable machine gun smashed on the wooden cart, making an established rhythmic sound.
"Boom!" With a burst of machine-gun fire, the other riflemen threw a bunch of grenades in front of them, and launched a surprise attack with machine-gun fire and grenade explosions.
In the blood mist and explosions, the riflemen touched it, the rifles in their hands kept firing, and the Japanese plainclothes were killed several more by shrapnel from grenades and rifles.
"Kill!" There was a shout of killing, and a company of reinforcements under the leadership of Qiu Wei came over, some of them advanced along Zhang Wei's rear, and another platoon made a detour from the left side of the road.
The sound of gunfire, grenades and shouts of killing were intertwined, and the few remaining plainclothes of the Japanese army could not withstand even if they could fight again.
"Don't fight, they're all dead!" In the end, the two Japanese plainclothes who resisted stubbornly with flower machines were killed by a company of light machine guns, and more than a dozen plainclothes were all killed.
