Chapter 246: Hold on and Don't Retreat
The order of the Japanese army was to attack.
Xi Chen's order was to defend.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
The moment the sun rose above the surface, the Japanese attacked, and they were waiting for dawn.
They chose to attack them at night, but they fought head-on, and they had to wait for dawn.
They thought that they and others were more capable of fighting, Xi Chen was just some wounded, and the Japanese army thought that a few charges were enough.
The Japanese fought deep behind enemy lines and did not carry mortars, but Xi Chen's mortars were of little use.
The first is that there is very little ammunition, only seven shells, and the second is that the terrain here, a junction, and mortars do not work.
The Japanese charged, the weapons in their hands were more advanced, and their technology was more comprehensive.
Xi Chen: Even the fortifications were built last night, and now they can only respond to emergencies.
Gu Wanqing's first personality has returned, Xi Chen explained casually, Gu Wanqing frowned, Xi Chen knew that she had some doubts in her heart.
It's just that now she can't ask too much, because the Japanese army has already begun to attack.
"Ready, fight." Xi Chen shouted.
The Japanese army is menacing, Xi Chen, they are wounded soldiers and recruits here, the security regiment, you really fight with the Japanese army, it is really a charge thing.
The recruits were scared, they were cowering.
After firing a shot, he didn't dare to look up again.
"Don't be afraid, call me, the devil rushed in today, and no one in the hospital will survive."
"Think of the doctors and nurses who saved your life." Xi Chen's words made those wounded all grit their teeth, and they now have a lot of faith in their hearts.
The security regiment led by Xi Chen now has hatred in his heart, the Japanese army has killed so many of them, and many of their relatives have died at the hands of the Japanese army, and now they are not afraid of death.
It's just a recruit, Xi Chen can't ask for too much, it's not that you say a few words, they say that you can't be afraid.
Seeing this, Gu Guanqing said: "Don't be afraid, devils are also people, and they will die if they take a shot." ”
Seeing Gu Guanqing and a woman, she was not afraid now, and she was shooting, and they, the men, slowly took out some courage.
The gun in Xi Chen's hand, every time he fired, he would kill a Japanese soldier.
But the Japanese army's marksmanship is not bad, they also noticed Xi Chen, and now the guns in their hands have begun to suppress Xi Chen.
Xi Chen couldn't raise his head, and the fortifications in front of him were full of bullet holes.
"It's okay Wang Cannon, let your machine gun squad, give me a fight." Xi Chen did not let Wang Cannon shoot in advance, but waited until the Japanese army was closer.
Wang Cannon had been waiting for the order for a long time, and now when he heard Xi Chen's order, he shouted, and the machine gun in his hand pulled the trigger.
Four salvos of several guns, the size of an intersection, this power is still very good.
However, the Japanese reacted quickly, and in an instant, the machine gunners fell to the ground twice.
"Substitution, hurry up and pick it up." Wang Cannon shouted.
Two people, hurriedly ran up, picked up the machine gun, and continued to shoot.
"Don't let them hit the heavy." Xi Chen said to Gu Guanqing.
But there were only two of them, there were too many enemies, and the machine gunners were still being hit.
But the brothers below, one by one, went up, and they couldn't let the machine guns stop.
"Captain, we can't charge it, the machine gun fire is very suppressed."
"Retreat first."
The Japanese army retreated, the Japanese army actually retreated, and everyone was relieved.
Xi Chen was not too happy, Xi Chen said to Zhang Mo: "Count the casualties." ”
Zhang Mo soon came back and said: "There are eight people who are seriously injured and have to be sent to the hospital, and thirty have died. ”
Thirty people died, and Xi Chen's face was not very good-looking.
Most of the dead were recruits, and Xi Chen said at the time that he would send them back to the village, but now it seems that it is difficult to achieve.
Eight seriously injured were sent to the hospital for treatment, and the minor injuries were not in the line of fire.
There are about 110 people, and now there are more than 70 people left.
"How many Japanese soldiers were killed?" Xi Chen asked Zhang Mo.
"Sixteen." Zhang Mo said.
Sixteen.
The number of Japanese soldiers Xi Chen glanced at just now, seventy or eighty, and if this exchange continues, they will suffer a lot.
"One of the most important problems is that the bullets of the machine gun cannot withstand such attrition." Zhang Mo's words made Xi Chen realize that next time, they might not be able to stop the Japanese army's charge.
was rushed up by the Japanese army, it was a bayonet, but the devil's bayonet was practiced, and it was a group of three or two, and the cooperation was very powerful.
If they fight with the devil with bayonets like this, they will inevitably suffer.
"Can the Japanese see it?" Hu Laosan asked.
Can you see it?
Of course, the Japanese could see that they couldn't charge in at that time, because there were too many machine guns, and the intersection was completely suppressed.
But they can also see that Xi Chen and others don't have a lot of ammunition.
"It's not that there are not many enemies, why are there so many people, and so many machine guns."
"Captain, although there are quite a few enemies, judging from the situation just now, they are all untrained people."
"Yes, it should have been pulled up by the enemy in an emergency, and there were wounded soldiers with them."
"But the enemy's fire is very strong, but I think the enemy's ammunition is not sufficient, otherwise why don't we shoot when we go in, but wait until we get close."
The analysis of the Japanese army really makes sense.
"What now, Captain?" A Japanese soldier asked.
"Fix it up, and go on the offensive in two hours, but don't rush forward."
"Consume their ammunition and wait until the time is right to launch a general attack."
Two hours later, the Japanese regained their hands and attacked again.
Xi Chen and the others are still on the defensive, but they are very difficult, the devils don't rush up, their marksmanship is much more powerful than Xi Chen's.
Although Xi Chen and Gu Guanqing can make up for it, they focus on taking care of Xi Chen and Gu Guanqing, and neither of them dares to raise their heads.
As soon as you look up, countless bullets will fly over, coming and going, and the death is somewhat serious.
Xi Chen had no choice but to let Wang Cannon shoot them.
As soon as Wang's machine gun fired, the Japanese army was really suppressed by firepower, and Xi Chen and they were able to show their heads and shoot a few shots.
But at this time, the Japanese army retreated decisively.
Seeing the retreating Japanese army, Xi Chen had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
"They're depleting our ammunition, and when our machine guns can't provide us with fire suppression, they may start a general attack."
Xi Chen said that Gu Guanqing, Hu Laosan, Zhang Mo and others all understood in their hearts.
But when the Japanese attacked, it was not possible to let Wang Cannon shoot them, and then their losses would be very heavy.
The devil's second attack, Xi Chen, and they reduced their strength by seven people.
In this kind of battle, reducing the number of troops by one person is a huge blow to Xi Chen and them.
The Japanese army came again next night, although they knew the tricks of the Japanese army, but Xi Chen and they had to be led by the nose by the Japanese army.
"Company commander, we don't have many bullets." Wang Dacang sat next to Xi Chen at night and said.
"Take all the guns, the machine guns can't be fired, just give me a rifle, don't let the devils rush over." Xi Chen said.
